Recently I disabled fast dormancy using one of the dialer codes and my battery life increased greatly. I turned it back on an hour ago and battery life was poor comparitively.
So what is fast dormancy and can I just leave it disabled? Does it change the way my phone works etc etc?

How do you change it via a phone code?

thanks for that
so if i turn fast dormancy off will it use more data when im not on wifi and as a result of that cost me more?
As far as i was aware, the issue was with wifi when not connected to a network would go crazy and drain battery. If you disable wifi when leaving home for example it dont happen.

Very interesting:
" For this to work, both networks and smartphones have to implement the standardized version of the fast dormancy feature."
Maybe because some providers still don't support that feature a few users experience a huge battery drain due to that feature being missing from the provider side?

If you have it enabled it will fall from H to 3G in 7 seconds when connection is idle, otherwise in 30 seconds. 7 seconds are to short it will lose time and battery renegotiating to H to often. Ex: when you read your rss feed it will renegtiate higher speed for every article you read, very annoying.
Belive me, you are better off by disabling it.
Does it renable itself on reboot?

No, it does not.
Sounds like this is a feature that I should disable.
Thanks for sharing the code.
I'm on T-Mobile in Essex with Galaxy S 2. I disabled fast dormancy and it completely crippled my data speeds. At home with speedtest I get up to 2000kbps. With fast dormancy disabled I was getting about 60kbps. On one run I got up to 600kbps, but generally under 100kbps.
I wonder why my speed was so badly affected?

T mobile is probably optimised their network to work better with fast dormancy. If thats the case, ure battery life shud be the same whether its on or off.

The booster
Dear T-Mobile Customer
We have reviewed your recent coverage concern, and you may qualify to be part of a free in-home device trial! The device is designed to boost 3G signal inside your home. We look forward to speaking with you regarding your eligibility...
..contact info, etc..etc...
So I qualified.. The requirements included one bar 3g signal. 3g device, data plan blah... Moderate service, a land line for 911 calls, and single family home.. No apts or highrises I guess..
So I'm in this test group of 1000 lucky tmo customers that get one of these little in home 3g boosters,
Awesome
I'll keep yous guys informed..

Does that means they want to turn your home into a mini cell tower?
I assume other people around you can also receive signal from the device.
You are lucky... make sure you let us know how it goes!
How did you get into this "limited program"

So yes my house would be a small cell tower... It is a 2 piece design... One half goes where you get the best signal..the other your worst..
I filed a service request with a person on the team from New Mexico that is piloting this "new device"... They enrolled me about 2 weeks ago..
When my package arrives I'm going to post a video and a review.. I'm so stoked, I'm hoping this thing works like she said it would...

It would be compared to a femtocell... I'm not sure how well they work or the signal strength.. This cel-fi receiver works really well.. The signal drops when I go outside.. So it doesn't put out a whole lot of extra signal.. But it is very reliable/consistent..
This uses an existing 3g signal.. It keeps a very constant connection too.. The base fluctuates between 1 and 2 bars and the output box has a 9 for signal output. It dropped down to 4 and 5 last night but I was still getting full service 3g..
I've been able to upload and download files like never before.. This has seriously changed my perspective of tmo... I'm not even in a "true" 3g area.. I get flow over from 2 bigger cities 45 mins north and south of me..

although I think you said that this simply repeats an existing 3g signal, can you confirm that this does NOT use your home broadband connection?
Is the repeater in any way connected to your home network?
The repeater is not connected to anything, or plug into anything beside a power cord.. Just uses the existing 3g network

+1. It is not showing you 3g service...
Doesn't the Speedtest app need location turned on so it can select the most appropriate server for you. Otherwise you get the zero test.
Looks like an outage to me. Crappy service wouldn't get you zero, let alone NeGaTiVe ZeRo!!
Can you access any other internet page? It's possible a route between you and the server you're trying to do a speedtest with is down as well.

I never assume when I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue. I'd try to go to a couple of pages in the browser first if they don't connect you may have a sprint issue. I've had the app do this to me to when I was perfectly able to connect to actual sites.

i have been having the same problem here in WI. befere i had my EVO i was on a HERO with everything working ok(slow phone but at least data worked). but, now when i switched to the EVO i no longer had a data connection. the phone wont load any pages; its been a month now.
i have been in contact with sprint about the issue but they arent helping really. i keep receiving error code 104 "sign in failed". sprint claims "software problem" but i dont see how that could be. I used the most recent available RUU and then OTA the latest 3.70.651.1 and still nothing. i even rooted and tried flashing earlier radios with no change. also updating profile and reprovisioning data did nothing. so if nothing changes fast i want to be refunded all this time i have been without data.
My Sprint 3G speeds are balls-deep in fail. I have a Droid 2 on VZW and for fun I ran a speed test tonight and came up with:
.24 mbps download / .05 upload / 299 Ping from Sprint and
.95 mbps download / .25 upload / 128 Ping from VZW
I'm wondering if it's a nationwide issue? My 3G speeds have been incredibly laggy in loads of places (it's embarrassingly slow in comparison to even T-Mobile?! at some points). Hoping it's not a permanent issue of some sort.

Man LTE is sooooo amazing. But the uploading being 22 is f**king awesome!
just thought I would clear this up, The high uploads are due to the speedtest app not being able to measure LTE uploading correctly.
These scores are completely inaccurate.
It might as well say 99999999.9999999mbps upload.

Oh that makes sense. But I get those download speeds on my Moto Atrix!
Is anyone else having a problem with their atrix switching to Edge? I'll try to run a speed test or watch a video and it will just randomly switch to edge, then no signal, then back to H. What's the deal?
That was the point of this post. Most atrixes (Atrices?) are faster than this. Mine gets 5 down
Intersting results - mine were much different in Phoenix AZ.
I think in general the speedtest app is broken. When doing it on the webpage I was getting more consistantly between 15-20 MBps download and 5 MB upload.
I am actually giving back my atrix tomorrow. Best phone I have ever had, but the network is not even 3g speed out here (even with a microcell in my house I still can not get over 1.5 MB download and we all know about the stellar upload speed)

LTE uses a single channel(SC)-FDMA while WiMax still uses OFDMA for their respective uplink signaling. OFDMA is what 3G uses, hence why you can still get an accurate reading on the Evo.

What carrier are you on?
There are definitely issues with Nexus S 3G.
Not that serious, but they are present.
For example, I have visual contact with a 3G tower when I'm at home. I get signal readings into the high 50s, low 60s dBm while in the house. Even then, there are times when the phone switches to 2G.
Why on earth a baseband processor would decide that is beyond my understanding.
All other phones in the house never leave 3G...

the highest i've got is 5 Mbps down and 400 Kbps up

I have the same problem: 3G is slow for my Nexus S. I also have an iPhone and a HTC Desire HD and they are faster...
This is what I get using my Nexus S on the Rogers network. If you want faster uncapped speeds on the fido/rogers network just flash KB3 radio.

Sounds like you have the wrong nexus s for your carrier to me. You sound like you got a model that only works on the 2g bands.
I only get a little under 3mbit down and just over 2mbit up. I don't really consider it slow though. I never have problems with mine switching to 2g or anything like that either. Again, just because you are standing right next to a tower, doesn't mean it's the phone. There are many more factors to consider than distance/sight of a signal tower.
Changed my kernel to Matrix and now my speeds are even quicker using KB3 radio on the Rogers network
This is sitting in my house.

Nice, I wonder what the phone is capable of, I've got 1Gb of speed at my place.
I already get 235Mb/s+ with my S7 Edge so I think the limit is your ISP and WiFi, not the phone.

Yes, didn't notice the provider id of 'T-Mobile'. If that's the case this is definitely fast. I just checked my S7 and I got 98/17 with a ping of 31ms.

Dunno just says 4G LTE ont he phone
I am actually anxious to see how this thing does in a couple of months. Im on AT&T and i live just outside of Indianapolis which, from what i understand, is the first market AT&T is launching 5g in this summer.
Wait for 5G to kick in, then we'll see what this beast can do

Anyone with FAST wifi do speed tests?
One of my issues with the S7E is its wifi was much slower than my Note 5.
My iPhone 7+ hits 600+ up and down on our wave2 AC wifi network here.
The S7E had fast LTE though. Fastest speedtest (Verizon) I recall was around 130 down and 50 up. That's smoking for LTE but bad if you don't have unlimited. LOL

Indy might be high on the list but Dallas is first. They are already testing in Dallas

The link speed is all over the place. The wifi app only goes to 866 but it sometimes pegs the meter and goes over 999. LOL
Getting great speeds on wifi. Similar speeds to my 2016 macbook pro! The wifi radio on this is excellent. Haven't tried lower signals to see how it fares yet.
Ok TMOBLE this is B.S.! I'm in Las Vegas and getting speed at as low as 20 , 30 k down.. that k ..NOT meg
And TMOBLE is telling me there no problem
Best I've seen in burst of 7 meg
The has been going on since I got the phone
I'm pulling over 630mbps at my house. That's Wi-Fi though ?
