Tethering slows down when screen times out? - Vibrant General

Ok so wether i use wifi tethering or a usb based one like easytether or pdanet, everytime the screen goes black my internet speed drops to slow as ball hair... the minute i turn the screen back on and unlock the phone im back to full speed.
Im rooted running bionix v 1.3.1
Thanks for any help this is annoying

Have you tried the usb tethering thats included with the bionix rom?
My internet speeds are actually faster tethering than on my phone.

you know it's funny....
For some reason on my phone, my friends vibrant, and even a few droids and a fascinate i rooted and put custom roms on... none had any programs on them.... which i thought was weird?
I thought maybe it was cuz everytime i flash a new rom i always do a data wipe and figured that was why, but then after upgrading my buddies bionix 1.2.1 to 1.3.1, he still had no apps installed...
Maybe you could shed some light on something i'm probably doing wrong?

its not an app, it's built in to the rom itself. Go to settings, then wireless network, then tethering and check it and your done. I think you need to have the samsung drivers installed which I'm sure you have if you have ever had to Odin.

Yea actually i noticed it yest when i got home but ill have the internet back next week. Just moved to a new place so ive been stealing wifi lol! Or tethering

If you're using any kind of battery saving app your phone may be turning off 3G when the screen shuts off.

Do you have setcpu or a OC kernal by any chance?
I am having this happen also... I have had to remove my battery three times today to reboot the phone.
I have set CPU installed, is that a bad idea?
I'm rooted with just the stock OS, no mods at all and my phone will randomly reboot every two or three days.

did you wipe your SD cards when you flashed the new rom? I don't have this behavior but I did have FC's and such because of some files on the SD. I have NONE of this behavior. Something is wrong for you, nothing is wrong with JI2 and freezing/rebooting.

I used to have this problem all the time too whenever I tried to use the gps, but since I've applied the leaked update that problem has gone away. But it seems like you're experiencing the issue at more random times. Have you noticed any particular pattern? For example, whenever you try to play music in the background and read a website at the same time.

Yup mine is bone stock not Rooted and it will lock up just siting there GPS, wireless and Bluetooth off in a very good signal area.
Same here on both roms. I thought the lag fix was causing the freeze. But now im stock jit2 and root.
Had the same with gps and maps with old firmware.

I haven't had this issue happen since I applied the flashable gps fix. Maybe it was an issue with an app that wanted to use GPS running in the background?
This has happened to me several times while booting gps and only recently started happening while playing pandora, but not as frequent as while using the gps...not rooted

Mine has only frozen up once and it was at the end of a call screen turned off. I hit power and went to go unlock and it turned off again.. Would not turn back on but I know the phone was still on since I had apmobile enabled and it was still transmitting wifi connection. Oh I was using eugene's FrankenTwiz (underclocked to 400mhz)when it happened but same thing happened to my girlfriend and she had hybrid r3. Other than phone runs fine.
Ive had some odd reboots where I dont get a shutdown or boot animation or sounds, just freezes, goes black, keys light up, searching for signal boot process. Yesterday in maps trying to troubleshoot my gps. Stock rom,rooted, Ryan's lagfix.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Have the phone replaced. I had a phone that would randomly freeze and/or reboot. Nothing I did would fix it.
I talked to a T-mobile worker who had the same issue with one of the early demo-phones Samsung loaned to him. They just replaced his without every saying what the problem was.
I've been having this happen a lot lately myself, it happened to me before on stock ROM due to SetCPU, but now on the leaked ROM. I did not clean the SD card (internal or external), so will give that a shot when I have some time to copy files on/off the SD cards (one reason to dislike the internal SD is that I have to mount it to copy the files, ergh).

Lose 3G and have to reboot

Anyone ever have this problem? Ideas to fix it?
What rom are you running? If its a i9k 2.2.1 build you need the signal reboot fix found in the vibrant development section.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I think the problem exists for KB1 based builds as well. Had the issue with Bionix 1.31, Trigger and Axura. Went back to Nero v5 and problem solved. Also, the wifi sleeps even when the option for never sleep is checked. I wonder if it's hardware specific and only affects some phones.
Sent from my frozen yogurt powered Vibrant
To clarify my previous post: I lost 3g and had to manually reboot to get it back. It didn't reboot on its own like the i9000 builds. I ran 3 different roms from 3 different devs and they all had similar issues. The only common denominator was they were KB1 based. KB1 roms also seem to have RIL issues (very infrequent). At least that was my experience.

I dont have this problem but do all the ROMS now say "H" instead of 3G? The weird things is, I still 3g pop back up there intermitently for a second or two here and there...from what I gather, H is the same thing, but if that's so, then why do I still see 3g pop back up there sometimes?
I'm on KB1 and I hate this ****.

I had this problem on Trigger 2.7.1/overstock couldn't reestablish data through airplane or toggling data type. In since flashing 2.7.2 havent had it at all. Fingers crossed. No reboots either. Same kb1 modem.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Im going through something similar right now. Running Axura 2.3.1.0 with KB1 modem currently, was on CM7 with KA7 prior and had same issue. I have 0 3G, doing a speed test on 2G i get between 68 and 85kbps download speed, and when on 3G i get between 46 and 60kbps, so actually my 3G is basically dead. Went and got a 3G sim card from t-mobile, called them about 26 times and had them reset my network, filed a trouble ticket and still no dice... not sure whats going on. I was throttled and my cycle restarted on the 21st, its now the 24th and still seems like im throttled but im not, its actually a dead 3G, not sure why... anyone know what i can do to fix this? Is it a bad phone now? T-Mobile doesnt seem to have a clue, nor will they help me out... dunno, tried everything and now im just stuck with no speed... blows!!!

I just recently was having the same problem. It would connect to my laptop fine...but no internet. Try clearing data for it first. For me, I had to wipe all data and programs...and reflash the rom (bonsai). It works fine, now. I am using the pre14 version.
Also dont have 4g turned on at first.

No matter how much or how I calibrate my battery, it almost always drops to 97% after unplugging. Some times it will stay at 100 and stay at 100 for about an hour. Also, you'll be at say 50% and reboot the phone and be at 12% for 5 hours.

biggest frustration is the visual voicemail. i see a missed call, i see i have voicemail, but when i click "play" on the voicemail it says it can't play the voicemail.
only way to fix it is to power off phone, power on, then the voicemail will play. same problem i had on my old samsung flip phone 3 years ago. promised myself i would never again own a samsung phone but the Epic was the best phone available at the time. sigh.

while at work (roughly 10 hours a day with commute) i rarely answer my personal phone. unfortunately that's when many people (or services like the comcast setup crew, etc.) call.
i end up rebooting my phone, just for voicemail, at least 4 times a week. i don't know if it's something i did (just running stock Froyo EB13 - rooted with EXT4 file system), an app i installed, etc., but it's odd to me that it happened on my old Samsung flip phone on Verizon and now on my Samsung Epic on Sprint.
ready for the rumoured Gingerbread update to officially drop (actually ready for source to come out so i can finally switch off of the stock firmware - for some reason i've been holding out flashing a custom ROM until gingerbread. probably silly of me, but that's what i've been telling myself).

i've never ever had that problem (knock on wood). Maybe a bad flash or something. try updating your voicemail app and make sure you have 3g when your checking your voicemail.
For the battery issue, nubecoder wrote something that can be implemented into kernels for a fuller more complete charge. I don't know which kernels incorporate this.. i'm currently on bakedsnack and it does have it. battery is superb.
When you have to completely close apps (market) just to get data to connect. Its as if its false 3g -_-

First, make sure you've turned off "Auto Network Switch" in the advanced section of Wi-Fi settings (go to Wi-Fi settings and press the menu key and select advanced).
Second, turn off WiFi Power Save mode in the ServiceMenu. Go here for directions.
I done what you said i entered the codes you said to enter on my dial pad and it didnt bring up anything no services menus...nothing. but i did go to wifi and then advance and unchecked the box you said to uncheck and waited to see if it would kick me off and it did it still kicks me off wifi while im in my bed room.

If you're rooted, you'll need to go to /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu....
Open the HiddenMenu file in a text editor and change OFF to ON
Maintaining capitalization of the word ON
Save file.
Then reboot. Try those dialpad codes again.

Dial pad codes worked like a charm went in and changed the band to B4Enabled*. Now im gonna hang out in my room for awhile and see if i get kicked off my wifi. Thanks a bunch for you help i just hope this works oh and yes i went to text editor and then carrier and deleted OFF and replaced it with ON then restarted my device then went back into carrier to make sure it saved and all is good. Just hop it fixes my problem. Thanks again.
Now i need to tryn figure out how to make my call signal better....lots and lots of fun this phone is
When it kicked me off before it took awahile before it would connect back. While in the process of typing i got kicked off but connected back veryfast. Strange because im only about 15ft or so away from the router. I have noticed a big difference though, before my bars would fluxuwait from 1 bar to 5b now it usually stays at 5.
Anyother suggestions i can try
Go into your router settings and check/change the frequency(2.4-5) and the broadcast channel to match what the phone is using

12mb/s is a pretty slow speed. It's going to take a long time to download it. When you're downloading a file the speed you see is Mb/s not mb/s. Megabytes and megabits are a lot different.
AT&T service person came out today and upgraded my internet, from 3megs to 12megs. I asked the tech how fast it would download a 2g movie his answer was, " it should take about 15 mins at the most". Wireless is just a f#@$in scam the co$k [email protected]$!ers will tell you anything so they can get ypur money! The highest they offer in my area is 12megs funny thing about 15 miles from where i live they offer 50megs. Its just a rip off!!
