Phone shows 3-4 bars of 3G and I get nothing but errors like , Page unavailable...this app needs data connection....etc. Sometimes if I disable mobile network and re-enable it it will work for a few minutes but then gone. Am I the only one ? I searched briefly . Nothing informative . Help please .
Call att and tell them to connect you to the specialist, i had the same problem and i was literally on the phone with him for 10 seconds and he fixed it

Sometimes it does similar to me. It will sit there and go from 3g to edge to 3g to edge. I've taken to just using 2g when I have wifi, then 3g when I want mobile data. Although now that I had the phone for a while, I kind of know where 3g is strong.

Here's the thing.
My NS4G when it's connected to 4G is great.
However, when it goes idle (which is most of the time if I'm not using it), I'm not connected to the internet at all. No puch notifications. No Gtalk messages. No Facebook updates. Nothing.
And it only wakes up when I wake it up.
this all sorts of defeats the object of having a contantly on connection, and I don't get the benefit of 4G, unless it's literally only to be used when I'm surfing the web ? Is that all it's good for on this phone, and the reaosn I'm paying another 10 bucks ?
Is there any way to increase the tine it takes to go idle ?
Hmmm... it should just be idle when no data is needed. We had another report from another user of the same problem. Can you send email to yourself and wait 10 min to make sure it doesn't work?

That is exactly what I've been doing all day. No emails. Gtalk goes offline. all get delivered when I connect by browsing or opening facebook. anything that required data.
Hmm there was a setting for something like that. I used it on my evo to conserve juice I just had to check my phone if expecting something important

Look in the questions section for thread called 4g idle. That's the same issue.

So I can't bare to be without my Epic every waking second of the day. sue me. My problem is I'm moving out of the country and am keeping my phone. I want to basically use it as a wifi enabled android powered mp3 player. Problem is I'm worried it will constantly be searching for a signal. I've removed my msid and phone number from my ##msl# dialer code, but the phone still searches for a signal killing the battery life (I've seen the difference in the battery menu between no signal and airplane mode). I would leave it in airplane mode and be happy except that you don't get bluetooth while in airplane mode. is there a way I can just get the cell radio out of the os since I'm not going to need it anymore, and still keep my bluetooth, wifi, and gps functionality?
Thx in advance for any advice

Did you check out the ##3282# menu? Might be something useful in there
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
You can disable just the cellular radio using Tasker... this will still allow you to use wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc...
##debug# is an interesting dialer.code as well

I don't have Tasker anymore but I believe you just create a widget with the action of Phone > Radio > Off or something to that effect.
Then when you click the widget it will simply put an X over the signal bars instead of that annoying airplane, still allowing you to use all the secondary radios.

Can I ask a question here? I live in Phoenix, Arizona and I don't get any 4G. Does anybody else have this problem? Like, come on Sprint. I'm in the capitol of the Grand Canyon State.

You helped a lot Mr.bfranklin ! Thanks !

Well you should have probably started here
Without rooting/flashing then you can turn your brightness all the way down, delete all your widgets, turn off data sync, and use a pure black background.
Or just root and flash Trigger or project V + the bali kernel and be amazed
Why not just root? And flash a different rom?

i think he is afraid something might happen he just needs to needs to read the guy on how to flash and he will get so much more out of his vibrant i acheive great battery life with cm7 and neo kernel
Please help!

Let me guess......Someone told u shouldn't root or flash (t-mobile guy at the mall?) cuz u could mess ur phone up and t-mobile won't honor the warranty.
Well let me tell u something L1LK1LLERZ , you NEED to root then flash one of this ROMs on that Vibrant of yours if you wanna notice any significant battery life gain. Rooting and Flashing is pretty simple and safe on the Vibrant ,compared to my wife's HTC Glacier aka MyTouch 4g, anyways IF (big [email protected]#king IF) you are able to follow instructions precisely (common sense baby) and you could always go back to stock if you need to return ur phone to t-mobile.

I highly recommend downloading juice defender from the market. That app alone has given me hours more of battery life.

Can you guys show me your settings for juice defender ? I tried it and didn't see any changes in my battery life! And which version is the best like plus! ? Premium !? Or free !? Please help!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I say use the XDA SuperPower app. it basically does what Juice Defender does, but it's much more simpler to configure and has most of the same features. Just search "XDA SuperPower app" on Google or the search bar. been using it for a couple of hours and it's been great with disabling and enabling my networks and whatnot.
I've been using that prl for 3g roaming while at work for the past couple of weeks. Today though I lost my data connection. Still can make calls and text. Tried reflashing prl, rebooting, everything. I use roam control, and when I switch to home I have normal sprint service with 3g data. When I switch back to roam it gives only voice and text and says sprint can't login?
Anyone else having issues?

My guess is the 3G is down on that roaming tower or Sprint didn't pay their bill.

Someone else posted the 0001 prl stopped working so i'm guessing Verizon is having pessaries right now. I also had friends on Facebook post that at&t was having issues all morning.

Sorry to exhume the thread, but 11115 definitely hasn't been working for me when roaming. Is it actually working for anyone?
