Something I noticed

Hello, I noticed something a few days ago.
It seems if you're about to get the JI6 update OTA the "3G" symbol will stay in your status bar regardless of whether your'e connected to a wifi network.
My phone did this for two days straight and on the 9th I got the "Update Available" notification.
My phones never done that before so that's why I'm inferring the phone does this when an update is available.

Did the same exact thing to me as well. Was very strange to see it there even tho I was on WiFi... I also got the update about 2 days after I noticed the 3G staying in the top bar when on wifi

Really? My phone was doing this and I thought it was a bug. I had just installed Juice Defender so I thought it was messing my phone up so I uninstalled it and rebooted my phone.
Interesting. I already installed JI6 via Odin though... think it will prompt me again?

happened to my phone too.. i rebooted my phone but made sure that my wifi is off before rebooting.. seemed to fix it for me..

Well, you never know.

I havnt got the update yet, but for the past few days my 3G icon has been staying on when the Wifi is connected too.

Updated, but don't have such thing before the update

Now that you mention it...
Actually, I haven't update yet and I just noticed my 3G indicator staying on while on WiFi also. I don't recall it doing that before. Don't know if the two are related, but I will let you know what happens.

I am using Bionix 1.7 (Based of the Official JI6) and my 3g Icon goes away

Means you are receiving something from t-mobile....so essentially tmo was sending you the update, which is sent by the network....and I imagine since it was large is why it was on for a couple of days....
Send a mms from your phone while on wifi.....you will see your 3G come on to send the message then go away when done....

well I've yet to receive the update so I guess I'll look out for this when it does come...

[Q] Wifi Issue

I looked around and could not find a thread about this.
I have a rooted fascinate with dl30 (froyo). Everything else is running fine.
But with Wifi on, my connection to the internet is fine until I stop using it. I have the wifi setting to never turn off.
But after about 5mins or so of leaving the phone alone my connection to the net seems to be lost. I will get no incoming emails, my connection to gtalk is halted. If I unlock the phone i can not pull up any webpages, gtalk is still disconnected and if i try to send an email it just sits there.
All of this remains that way until I turn wifi off and go to 3G. Then everything works again. If I turn wifi back on right after, everything works fine again and will continue to until I leave the phone alone for 5mins or so.
any thoughts?
If you have a thought but need more info from me feel free to ask.

Am I really the only one with this issue on this forum?

i just started getting this issue today.... i hope there is something that can be done.

I noticed it happening to me also. Very random though, only happens about once a day or less.

Same here.

Did it happen on 2.1? I am partly concerned because I ebayed the phone with 2.1 about 2 weeks ago. rooted, then installed froyo, so I didn't really get to see if it happened on 2.1, or if this is part of froyo. Was also concerned because a friend of mine, Nuance, also did the same thing, and came over to my house and had no wifi issues.

MMS issue after gingerbread update

Has anyone else had issues with sending/receiving MMS since the gingerbread update? I have been unable to send/receive for the past 2 days and the update is the only thing that i can think of that may be causing the issue.
Any help would be great!!!! THANKS!!!!

I can't receive

I'm Running stock with no root its working fine.

ive been having that issue with all gingerbread related ROMs that ive flashed and around 1 AM i start getting 1x instead of 3g and it makes messages forever to send and recieve

my mms take at least 30 minutes to send and 10 to receive

Not sure if this is an EVO issue, more so than a Sprint issue (On Sprint Android phones at least). I have had 2 different Android phones before the EVO which were stock, and have a daughter and wife that both have stock Android phones on Sprint. I have never seen proof that more than 1 in 4 of any MMS messages have ever been received successfully (to family members on Sprint). And I can't count the number of times someone has mentioned sending me a "picture" that I never received.
When I switched to the EVO (even before rooting and going to CM7 -- and even more so after) -- this trend did not change for the better. Sent 5 pictures yesterday to 3 family members (all on Sprint with stock Android phones), with not a one of them ever showing up on the other end.

I haven't been able to send or receive MMS since last week. I'm wondering if it has to do with the new radios because is started around the time that I upgraded them.
I've also noticed that my phone doesn't sync my inboxes through my HTC mail app anymore. It doesn't sync the Friends Stream widget, either. I have to do it manually.
Edit: I went back to Myn's 2.2 rom but left the newer radios on. I'm almost done downloading the lastest Synergy nightly and I'm going to try MMS with that rom and see if anything changes. I'll provide an update later. Although I will say my phone was acting up when this happened and I had to call Sprint because I lost all 3G connectivity. After 4 phones call to Sprint, one was able to get my 3G working again but my MMS or sync stopped working afterwards and I just haven't had time to call Sprint again.
Edit: Using a 2.3 based rom did not fix my MMS issues. I still can't send or receive them. I guess I'm going to have to get on the phone with Sprint again. Fantastic.

I am also having this problem since June 5. I updated me and the misses evo Saturday night and was getting text but my phone was getting low space notifications 5x on Sunday so I did a factory reset and now I cannot receive text messages. I can send them out but not receive. Called Sprint tech support on Monday was in the Sprint store on Tuesday from 10am to 2:30pm and no fix an e ticket was put in on Monday for me to have the phone replaced. The store didn't have any evo's in stock how crazy is that. Today is Friday and still no new phone. I called Tuesday afternoon to tell tech support what was going on spoke to 11 different people order was put in for a new phone.
Now today my phone is dropping calls after 5 mins of talking and a really bad echo can be heard. The misses phone is working perfectly no problems what so ever.

I send and recieve just fine, but it does take forever to go through, sometimes up to an hour. I am running stock IT'S 2.3.3, but it was that way under Froyo with the old PRL, too.

Ok, after going through a bunch of forums I got mine to work.
First thing I did was go into ROM Manager and fixed permissions then rebooted.
Try that, if that doesnt work then also try
Use root explorer, and make sure it is set to R/W mode (read/write). Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and delete that file, then restart your phone. After the restart, you should be able to send and receive MMS messages.
I did both and now I can send and receive on my phone and my wifes phone.
She is running OMJ 2.3.3 and Im running MikRom 1.03.

With mine, I can't download while wifi is on. Might be a setting I'm not aware of, as I've never had this problem before. Searched and couldn't find anything.

I was havin the same problems called sprint and thier answer was wait till we send out a MR thats all they could say. I wiped everything and. Seems to work now but still some issues. Call sprint and let them know couse the rep did say they have to hear about from more than one person to start lookin at issue

[Q] EVO Shift: Data Call Failure after Temp-Root

Hey guys, I'm hoping somebody might be able to lend me a hand.
After applying the Temp-Root to my EVO Shift (GB, 2.3.3 (temp-root found here)), I'm getting the following error message:
Data Call Failure
Error Code 67: Unable to establish wireless data connection.
Has anybody seen this message? It comes up randomly it seems. I'm still able to connect to the internet via wireless. I'm not really sure what the deal is. It's similar to another one going around, but the other refers to the username/password. This one does not.
I have googled the error message, but almost everything I come across is a mass hysteria of confused people. I've tried the things I've found.
I haven't tried rebooting, yet, as that'll kill my temp-root (doesn't work in most cases anyhow, from what I've read). But, I'm willing to try it tonight if no other options are available. I've tried updating profile and prl, but issue remains. Not really interested in getting Sprint support involved, as from what I hear they're mostly a bunch of... uhm... funny people.
Any help is appreciated!
I should also note: This may have nothing at all to do with the Temp-Root. As far as I can remember, it worked fine for the first day (I applied it about 2 days ago, I think). However, I didn't do anything that day that required use of the Wireless connection (but wireless was still enabled).

i got that error once and just rebooted and retemprooted and havent gotten it again

Upadte profile, thru settings

I'll try this tonight if no other resolutions come up (not at home currently). Thanks for the suggestion.

As per my original post, I have already updated both profile and PRL. Thanks for the suggestion, just the same.
Edit: The problem may be due to billing issues. Will wait for that to get fixed and see if that fixes is. Will report back.
Another Edit: Does appear this is due to billing issues. Seems to be working just fine again, re-rooted and all.

Was getting this Error message for about a half a day a few weeks back. Updated PRL and Profile, didn't fix the issue. Called Sprint, turns out they were doing some work on the towers. Rebooted the phone and all was good. You might want to try and put the phone in Airplane mode for a few minutes. Then turn off Airplane mode, see if that helps.

I actually tried all of that. In my case it seemed to be a billing issue, because as soon as that was cleared up (the phone didn't have service, and I didn't realize til' I tried to make a call) everything worked fine... and has since. Thanks, though.

No problem, here to help when I can. Glad you got it sorted out.

WiFi Turning Itself On/Off

When i wake my phone I see a message briefly at the bottom: Wifi Disconnected. The problem is, my wifi isn't on. What is causing it? GPS?

Do you have Pokémon go on your phone? If that game is even in the background it does whatever it wants with my wifi and Bluetooth.

No Pokemon. No games at all.

New update fixed wifi problem!!
New update fixed the problem!!... so far.
I was having the same problems as everyone else. The wifi on my S7 would turn itself on and off every few minutes. None of the posted fixes worked for me. I checked for a system update yesterday, but there wasn't one. So today, I was going to contact Samsung tech support, because they're usually pretty good at having simple fixes for problems. Just before I was going to contact them, I decided to check again to see if there was a system update, and sure enough, there was. So I updated about an hour ago. I've been successfully using wifi on my phone for 30 minutes, without any interruption. So far, it seems the update has fixed the problem. I hope this helps everyone else.
