My vibrant when holding it like normal will switch to zero bars and then switch to edge when i am in a strong 3g area i think this phone has poor 3g recpeition and a problem with it reciveing 3g signals.When it switches to edge it will display a full 3 bars and then 2 and none less than 2 then when on 3g will go from 4 bars when sitting on a table to none when i am holding then to edge.
Yes, my phone always switches back and forth from 3g to edge. I live in a strong 3g area too. My old g1 never had this problem.

get a new phone the vibrant is not for you....
It's an issue that I am experiencing as well. In my case, simply lifting the phone from the table, with a single finger, will cause the data speeds to slow by half or more. Calls will always drop to EDGE, and sometimes, disconnect entirely.
If I had to guess, it's probably an engineering problem. I will try replacing the phone (again), to see if anything is improved.

Negative? That couldn't be any less negative.... if he experiences signal droppage especially where he lives, I say pick a new device cause the vibrant has this issue, so if it effects him or bothers him, the vibrants not for him... and abbreviating what the **** is pretty negative itself.... man funny.. hell you even called me a ****? So hows that good? Can you say that when people are dicks? Your the ruler on who gets to be rude when and where? Or are the only one that can capl people dicks?
I think I get harped on so much from my screen name, but I wasn't being negative. ..
Simply put, if it bugs you the vibrant is not for you....
Cause this is what it does...
Negative. .. lmfaoooo people say way more negative stuff and get away with it.
And no customer service for me? Huh? Didn't even make sense.
Op, the vibrant is not for you man... they all have this misreading....
And what should have been said to the OP IS, please search the forums before posting this... there's many many threads on it....
If this is a such a issue then why does everyone with the problem still have your phone? I mean if my phone dropped to edge just by a finger I'd get a new device.
I just don't get it? If its a issue for some, why do ya guys still have the device. Is the device so nice ya hoping it'll get better? Hoping Samsung has a fix?
They won't, they can display the bars better but that's it, that will do virtually nothing for real world speeds/ reception. It doesn't effect me where I live I can't even get it do drop a bar in some areas if I try, and coming from a n1 it was way worse. .....
Just don't get it, if y'all could answer that would be great, what are you waiting for? Why ya still got the device?
I still have mine honestly because I can give a rip about 3G. Never really used it nor need it. I mean its a phone for phone calls, grabbing some email and now and then updating my market apps. I think when I used my G1 for the close to two years I used 3G twice. Once to uh and ah at it and the second because I wanted to update my maps app faster.
I have wifi everywhere so sometimes I consider 3G overated at least in my house and work, however with that said. Its rather horrid when it comes to a connection. My G1 would easily connect and stay connected. Vibrant connects, disconnects, connects, disconnects. 1 bar, 3 bars, back to edge, no bars.
All over the place. Its like dating somebody with a split personally disorder. I only tested it because others have complained and wanted to either confirm or deny their comments. I can confirm it.

I just called tmobile and they confirmed getting a new sim card 50.01 does help the 3G signal.
The new SIM will probably help. Mine phone has no 3G issues. Just GPS and compass issues.

Lock into 3g speeds.
Hey, I posted this in a different forum. This helps lock into 3g speeds. I kind of found this on my own, so I don't know how accurate my instructions are, verify with others before trying, but it worked for me
Tired of edge speeds, want to lock in 3g? Okay this next one, do at your own risk ask usual, use with caution. I kinda figured this one out on my own, through trial and error, so I’m not sure how stable or accurate, or even how safe it is to do this. I did notice though, if you screw up, you can use the factory reset code above and things should go back to factory defaults.
Okay…so again do at your own risk. Also by locking into 3g speeds, if you ever go into a non 3g area, or if your 3g signal is poor in your area, then your phone calls will drop and data will stop, unless you go back and set the phone to its default automatic gsm/cdma settings.
Dial: *#*#197328640#*#*
Click [1] debug screen
Click [8] phone control
Click [7] network control
Click [2] band selection
This is where you make a change, default setting is [1] automatic, which means it chooses automatically between gsm/cdma (Edge vs 3g). So we are going to change this and set it to wcdma band which is 3g.
Click [2] wcdma band
Click [1] wcdma all []
Now it should display “select wcdma all bands [*]"
Now on the bottom of your phone, click the menu key, it’s the one next to the home key, now click back, menu again one more time, back one more time, this is just to confirm it set to number 2 wcdma band.
Now click menu key one last time, click end.. and you are done. Now to double verify that the phone is locked into 3g, dial in: *#*#4636#*#*
Then click phone information Then scroll down to “set preferred network type” It should now have listed “wcdma only.” PS, if you tried to do a shortcut, and just set wcdma this way first without doing the lock above, it would just go back to gsm/cdma auto once you exit the screen.
Your phone should now be locked into 3g.
This is an issue that a lot of Hero users had. I was fortunate enough to not experience it with the Hero, but my current time without signal is 52% on my Epic. If I remember correctly, it was a PRL problem, but it might also be the radio. It would be the cause of serious battery issues. I've attempted updating my profile and PRL to no avail. Is anyone else having time without signal issues?
To check, go to settings -> about phone -> battery use -> cell standby.

I thought it was just a reporting issue
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
No. I remember what it was now. It was that the Hero wasn't set to use CDMA towers and was searching for GSM towers for some reason. Something to do with the fact that the Hero was originally a GSM phone, which would make sense here. Someone in the thread that was created just a bit ago suggested it had something to do with the PRL update, which is possible, because I did it and that's when I started getting bad battery life and a high percentage of time without signal.
I've been having a hell of a time with my data connection today, which would explain my poor battery.
I've got a very high time w/out signal as well... I'm surprised this hasnt gotten more attention. Its a huge battery drain.
...
I've got 50% time without signal on mine. It seems likely that the searching for GSM towers could be happening on this phone as well because of all the material that crossed over from the international versions. Is there a way to check and/or fix this problem and get the phone to only search for the CDMA towers?
Thanks,

I've been trying to set the network mode to cdma auto using the network app i downloaded from the market. I dont think its fixing the issue though...
Strangely enough this is a similar issue I have seen with the Samsung Intercept. Especially having a hard time with keeping the data connection...

Haven't have this issue and I live in Puerto Rico. We have 5 carriers on this tiny island and Sprint is the only one with CDMA.
I think I figured it out. I set my network to cdma auto and my time without signal dropped to 3%. Battery drain seems improved in the short term...
Did you set yours up to WCDMA only? If I went WCDMA Preferred, I can see it was trying and failing to connect to GSM.

Go to the android market and search for an app called "Network"
Open up the app, you should see WCDMA Preferred in a drop down box near the bottom of the screen. Select that and change it to CDMA auto.
Exit the app.
Your Time without service should drop really low (mine went to 3%)
I've had the app behave strangely and revert my settings. I'm paranoid so i've been checking it pretty often. I'm not sure if there is a way to make this change permanent. I dont know if it reverts when the phone is rebooted.
The way that the problem was solved on the Hero was by accessing a system menu through a ##CODE## code and telling it to prefer CDMA towers. It was defaulted, for some, to GSM. Because I never had this issue, I don't know a whole lot about it. I know that ##CODE## codes are not available on this phone, though, so we might be out of luck until we can get into some kind of dev menu, I think. The app fix mentioned above sounds janky as hell to me, though, so I'll avoid it for now.
My phone has a hell of a time holding on to a data connection right now, but Juice Defender is really helping that not absolutely kill my battery. Aside from this one concern, my battery is actually lasting a surprisingly long time. I was expecting it to die nearly twice as fast as my Hero, but it is definitely giving it a run for its money. I'm very pleased with the Epic
...
I followed your directions. Got into Network, changed the dropdown box to CDMA Auto (PRL) and then hit the home button. Nothing changed, so I went back into the app to check if it stuck and it was back at WCDMA Preferred. Am I missing a step to make the change stick or something?

Yea, Thats what mine looked like until I fixed it with the Network app.
Yes, I have been playing lots of games/angry birds
I have been trying to use the Network app that people are suggesting but I am getting some weird issues. When I open the Network app it says I am on "WCDMA preferred" but then if I just let it sit for about 15-30 seconds it changes to "Unknown" without my pressing anything. I tried setting it to "CDMA only" and to "WCDMA only" but it doesn't save either setting. If I exit and reopen the program it goes back to "WCDMA preferred" and then changes itself to "Unknown" after a short duration. Anyone else have a problem like this? Any ideas?
Has it always been like this? Flashed a few roms and radios. But I think I never really thought about it or noticed it until now and it's really bugging me. I've read a few topics about 3g and 4g being "parallel" to our voice calls so we can't have both? I don't quite understand any of it.
Can someone tell me it's just my phone so I can try to solve the problem, or reassure me that we can't have both at the same time so I can sleep better tonight? lol
Thanks for any and all help!
Edit: Sorry meant to post this in the question thread.

ALL GSM phones that are connected to HSPA or greater should be able to talk and surf at the same time. I do it frequently personally. Do you know if you drop to EDGE/GRPS when you get on a phone call?
I am also having this issue but its strange that the guy posting above me does not face this issue - may be it is a hardware issue like screen and emmc since I already tried different roms and radios?. As soon as I am in a call I am disconnected from network data. I noticed only recently when I was in a hotel room working on my laptop (tethered phone to provide internet) and just when I joined a conference call, I lost internet. It was so embarrassing I couldnt curse tmobile and htc enough. The iphone ad about talking and surfing at the same time never made sense to me before this incidence.
my phone does this too, but its on and off. Sometimes it does, others it doesnt. I really have no idea what could cause it.
Let me shed some light on this....if you are on H will less then 2 bars and theres an E with 3 bars or more and u get a call the phone will switch to E but once you hang up then its back on H. But if H has 3 bars or more when a call is received then I will stay on the H network and allow talk and data at the same time. Theres no hard ware issues trust me. Hspa is preferred but if there is a stronger signal then the phone switches. I hope that makes sense. You can not do data and talk together on E but you can on H.

Or, to put it in other words: when the phone is in a call, it'll hop to the "best sounding" base station, and if it would happen to be the old GSM/GPRS/EDGE base station - the data will drop. The missing bit is: once it drops - it isn't re-negotiated during the call, only after it. Thus, if the phone hops to EDGE base station even for a second during the call - you won't have data from this point and till the end of the call.
Perfectly normal behavior.

This is definitely not the case. I have tried multiple times with different signal strengths but it drops completely every time. I just did another test, I was on H at 3.47mbps with all full bars and as soon as i placed a call to my friend, the data dropped completely.

It's not about the bars you see, but the signal strength (and not only) your phone sees - which is way more complicated than just bars. Read my post above.
And it's not an opinion either, it's a fact. This is how cellular handoff/handover works. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_handover
Thanks for the replies and insight everyone. Now I know a little bit more about how that handover works heh.
In my case, most calls were made from my office building. Yesterday, when I posted, I had the newest radio and data would drop immediately as soon as the person answers my call (not a steady drop from 4g-3g-Edge, icon just disappears completely). At best, I was able to download a few apps during a call (which was downloading before the call was made) but as soon my screen locked and turned off - the data was gone on wake and wouldn't turn back on until after the call was finished.
Went through 4 different ROMS yesterday with about the same results but I have recently reflashed RoyalGinger again along with the stock radio thereafter and it seems to be holding during calls, even on my ride to work this morning. I know this is against what most people have said in this thread but maybe I just messed something up on my phone with the new radio? Guess I'll stick to this radio for now. Thanks again everybody.
Radio is the one responsible for determining the best possible connection, and flashing new radio might change things.
I'm in a good 3G/H coverage zone, with new radio, and just tested - the data remained on during the call in any conditions, screen off, screen on, wifi toggling - still worked.

When I'm on 4g and turn the screen off the data turns off, normally after an extended period, which its good for battery.
Sent from my HTC Glacier
This has happened to me since I had my blackberry 9700. My experience has been that it loses all data (H/3G/E), even in good H/3G signal area and won't reconnect until I end the call. However the data loss only occurs while on a call. While not on a call, just surfing the net or using data any other way does not cause lost data connection nor a drop from H/3G to Edge. I saw somewhere on these forums that switching to H/3G only will prevent this from happening. I've tried this and it seemed to help, but I haven't been checking on every call.

My phone acts weird on the network mode 'gsm/wcdma(automode)'
It works perfectly when I select 'GSM only'. This means that I have the APNs right
But as soon as I select the automode so that I can use 3g, phone starts acting weird. For starters the internet does not work. I also lose my voice service. The bars show that I do have voice service, but on making any call the call doesn't go through, and on ending the call the call remains on the notification bar. But if I dont end the call, then it does eventually shut by itself (~15secs) and then the bars disappear and I lose service. At this point my phone has automatically gone into flight mode. On turning flight mode off... the cycle repeats (with some exceptions)
1.notification shows service coming back: 3G, full bars for voice service. (Sometimes 3g doesn't appear at all, and at this point internet does not work but I can make calls)
2.but internet does not work (but if I keep trying it might work for a few seconds. Noticed that because network mode is on auto. Notification bar shows switching to GSM, and then back to WDCMA. On repeating this the internet lasted longer ~a min or two)... and then doesn't start at all (basically its very random)
3.make a phone call and call doesn't got through, lose service and goes into flight mode

Does wcdma only mode work well? I don't even use gsm/wcdma mode because its a battery waste juggling that extra variable. Gsm mode only used to be used as a battery saver for many reasons, but since hspa is so abundant and umts is so efficient, I exclusively use wcdma only mode as my battery saver mode. Really need it too since Samsung borked the reception on the note 3 compared to note2. A phone this big and there shouldn't have been any compromise in the antenna department. I am also hoping for a LTE/wcdma auto mode. I know I probably haven't answered your question but it is alternative and personally I think more efficient than gsm mode only considering how well hspa has evolved and the bandwidth on umts is still worlds better than edge or GPRS.

I don't know if you wanna try, but maybe a factory reset will fix your ills. A lot of people, including have been having success with a myriad of issues and factory reset has been fixing it. I am guessing what is loaded at the factory by default has been buggy but the factory reset is loading phones correctly. There are still some bugs here and there even after resetting but the phone has been out less than a month. Need to give Samsung, especially xda devs some time to works some of the kinks. If a factory reset doesn't fix your issue then phone is probably wonky. Also, just to be you are using the correct phone for USA and not a European model?

apparently yes.. at least for now.. It may have something to do with the way I changed the network type. Normally if you do it from Mobile Networks> Network mode.. you will be fine but I created a Nova shortcut instead to get to it quickly. This shortcut looks a little different the way it opens the Network mode selection so maybe choosing between LTE/GSM from here screwed it up for me. There is nothing else I did before the phone functionality died on me.

No. I can't even get into service mode on my phone through dialer or app. Frustrating. A few people have the same problem not being able to get into service mode. Its a minor inconvenience so I haven't pursued a fix. Dont wanna fix what ain't broken. I am on an int'l rom btw and there is no LTE/wcdma mode either.

I have started to experience the same issue, I changed the mobile network type to GSM only and this seemed to help with the quality and connection of calls, having it set to GSM/WCDMA (Auto Mode) causes bad quality of audio/connection of calls, and even sometimes I will hear the number that I am calling ring then it will just stop and I have to end the call.
Any possible reasons for this?
Factory re-set didn't help in my situation.
There is no way to fix it yourself. I had the exact same problem. had to fix it from a shop they have SPT box to fix it. you can do it yourself if you can order it from amazon probably 216 bucks
Just take it to a shop mate.

The issue I am experiencing is either incoming or outgoing calls on the GSM/WDMCA mode when the audio just goes and then can come back again, no issues like this using GSM only, so my phone has gone for either repair or better still a replacement as the other issue with it is that it is lagging on many occasions even when just moving from screen page, and also when playing mp4 videos.
I bought this Le Pro3 the first day it came out on the flash sale. I really like this phone but there are some things that are pretty annoying. I fixed a lot of it but some issues are still there.
I have the stock ROM with 5.8.021s
Bluetooth.
Since I had the phone I left the bluetooth on all the time. I never had any issue with the battery draining or anything like that. But with the lasted update 5.8.021s, it seems like the blutooth turns itself off when I am not using it(when I leave my car) and turns itself on again automatically when I go in my car. I understand why they do this, it is to save battery. This would be fine if it worked. The issue that I am having is even though it is turned on by itself, it does not automatically connect to my car. This is an issue with all 3 of my car. I did NOT have this issue before. Is there a way to turn off this feature.
Gmail
I have many emails account but the only email app I use is the official google Gmail app. Randomly the "Auto-sync" will be turned off and I would need to turn it back on again. This is really annoying, when it is off, no email is pushed to me. After I turn it on, it would work for a while and again randomly the auto sync will be turned off. When I say random, it could be within a couple of hour, a day, or a few days. I can't figure out any patterns or what would trigger it. I don't use any auto clean up or anything.
Dropped call
I rarely make any phone call but I noticed that when I do make calls at home I need to turn OFF my wifi on my phone. If I don't I will loose the call within a minute. I am talking about just regular phone call, not though a special app or anything. I don't know if the phone uses wifi calling or anything like that. Even if it does, I don't understand why I would loose the call because I am usually next to the router.
If anyone has any answer or help please let me know.
I dont have any of these issues. Try restoring it from factory settings(if possible for you)
I have none of these issues, and I travel for work and actually -do- use wifi calling off and on here and there. Go to your wifi calling and make sure the wifi calling is turned off. Then do a network reset. Then make sure you do NOT have battery assistant turned on. Then go into the battery settings and make sure you do not have any auto power down or off settings turned of for any clock times.

Where do I find the wifi call feature?
Battery assist has always been off and I don't use any auto power down.

Go to settings. Click more. Inside there at bottom is wifi calling. Make sure it is off. I added screen shots

Strange, I don't have that option. What version do you have? Do you have to enable it somewhere first?

what's your phone carrier? Does it support wifi calling?
Did you happen to flash any Chinese roms to lose wifi calling feature? If you are on a unmodified software, you better contact LeEco support....

I'm on official US stock version ending in .21s
No, I didn't have to enable the setting to appear. It's simply there and toggled on or off. Perhaps it only shows up if your SIM card is from a carrier that supports it? I've used two different sim cards in my phone (AT&T AND TMOBILE), both of which support wifi calling, and the option for wifi calling was there both times.

Bought the phone on the first day of the flash sale. I have the latest stock rom and have ATT.
I just got this phone and use it on AT&T. I don't have the WiFi calling option. I did use it on my Note 5.
My biggest problem is Android Auto. It didn't work at first so I read on here that resetting it reinstalling the Android Auto app fixes it. I cleared data and cache and it worked the next two times I plugged it in to my car and hasn't since. I tried clearing data and cache again but still no luck.
As discussed you can NOT toggle wifi calling on and off with an AT&T based SIM. This has led to ongoing tech support discussions with LeEco concerning calling issues with my LeEco Pro3, US version.
Specifically, when WIFI is ENABLED (not WIFI CALLING as this isn't functional), outbound call ringing is hit or miss. There's a period of silence and either the call is suddenly answered or disconnects and gives up. If wifi is DISABLED outbound call ringing ALWAYS happens. Compare that to my AT&T branded Note 4 whereby any outbound call rings regardless if wifi is active.
Further, I have had issues with INBOUND calls where my Pro3 does not ring. It's hit or miss and happens regardless of location. First knowledge of a phone call missed is voicemail. Some have dismissed this as the vagaries of cell phones but in my case it seems to happen more frequently than the 'occasional' missed call.
I'm starting to wonder if the outbound and inbound issues are related, and whether there's some inherent software problems related to ringing when wifi is present and functional. Obviously disabling wifi looks to be a workaround, albeit a poor one since I'm on a limited data plan whereby it's easy to forget to turn wifi back on.
No outbound ringing is simply an annoyance I can live with but the failure of inbound ringing is simply unacceptable. I'll probably sell this phone and have gone back to a Note 4.
Twrp backup
Hi Can anyone please perform a stock twrp backup for their handsets. I am in a soft brick and it would be greatly appreciated.
