[Q] H+ keep alive? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to keep the HSPA+ connection alive? I'm sick of seeing
H+ - H - H+ - H - H+ - H - H+ - H - H+ - H - H+ - H - H+
when doing anything involving a data connection, and then dealing with the resulting increased access times.

No silly of course not. There's nothing you can do to it to make it stick. Its not even an issue.

you will only see H+ when data is flowing, otherwise you will see H. btw, the H+ symbol isnt included in stock, its included in custom roms. that doesnt mean it doesnt get H+, it just doesnt differentiate between the two.

be glad it works , mine is .... H - H(locked up) - H - H(Locked up) - H - H(locked up)... and so on

That's my issue. The 10 seconds plus it sometimes takes to up the connections.

Yes it is an issue, especially when it's the cause of a long pause.

I know you'll only see it when you're using data. And I also know it's only in custom ROMs. I have CM10.1. My problem is that it keeps switching. I want it to stay in H+ for my whole browsing session.

but it can't stay H+ if your data is not flowing.. and your data flow is all dependent upon your connection to your carrier's tower. So I guess if you want constant H+, stand under your carrier's cell tower and never stop surfing the web.

It could mean you have a data drop. So that's the issue. The H or H+ doesn't do anything much.

I can see how that's frustrating but the other option would be to have your phone die in 3 hours because that state the radio is in sucks power like crazy which is why it drops back to H (H is a bug, normal behavior is to drop all the way back to "3G" which is plain UMTS when data is not actively being used in order to save power and release the channel on the tower. They only have like 200 or so per tower so they won't let you hog one all day because you are impatient.)

I don't mean something that permanently does that. Something like an application that sends out random pings, and then you turn it off when you're done. Something so that audio streaming doesn't start skipping when it feels it needs to once again do that up/down crap.

Its going to take lot of modding to make that happen. I made a mod to make the icon always say h+ but that doesn't affect the data speed. The phone does this to save battery, and its really needed as this phone doesn't have great battery life.

I know it does it for battery life, but there are times where a constant connection is needed, and it decides to do that switching stuff.

I am reviving this in hope of an answer. Now it does it so frequently, it's impossible to even watch a YouTube video without that loading spinner popping up every five seconds. It keeps switching between H and H+ every few seconds now.

Always on H+

If im tethering i realize that my connection is kinda jumpy as well (switching between 3G and H+). Watching youtube videos is annoying because switching between the modes will always throw in a pretty annoying latency spike. However, I'm happy to say that I found a temporary work around. Most of the time, if you have a decent signal, your mode will drop in between modes because it isn't using the data. This is a good thing because it prevents your battery from flatlining in as little time as an hour. You need this in a mobile device! However, when you are plugged in - its a bit less useful. What I do while tethering is open up a Torrent client (Tixati) and download the Ubuntu linux distro. This is completely legal and it provides background network activity. I limit the incoming and outgoing bandwidth to 10 KB/s - this is sufficient for keeping the mode from dropping back to 3G, while keeping the connection alive with a ~60ms latency for gaming/youtbue/etc. If you want to do this on mobile, do the same with a mobile torrenting client. I MUST STRESS THOUGH! GET A LEGAL TORRENT! There is no reason to get in trouble over something as trivial as this.

Anyone get this linux distro working? I'm having trouble finding the file.

I have the same problem. It's too annoying the switch between H and H+. Does anyone resolve the problem? because sometimes it switch to H when I surf the web and there is a problem for me

1.66 question.

Hi everyone.
Since upgrading to 1.66, I have noticed something rather annoying and hope someone can provide a solution to fixing it.
When I was on 1.48, the H icon at the top of the screen would always be there. I was effectively connected to the internet all the time, and was able to leave MSN messenger etc open and I'd always be online.
When I upgraded to 1.66, the icon at the top of the screen is always 3G. It only changes to H when I'm actually using the internet. If I open the browser and check out a website, the 3G changes to H and the website begins to load. It changes back to 3G when any internet connectivity is idle.
I can only access the internet when H is displayed, but I want it connected permanently like it was on 1.48.
It's like the phone is disconnecting from the internet when I'm not using the browser. It's not very useful when I need to keep MSN messenger open all day.
Thanks.
It's not disconnected when it says 3G. It simply switches to the slower mode when nothing is being transferred to save resources. As soon as something actually needs to be transferred it goes to H again to get the fastest available speed.

Ah, okay. I can't seem to visit any websites when 3G is displayed though. Perhaps that could be to do with my operator settings or something?
i have had the same problem since installing the sms patches.... i have since hard reset to remove the patch... and testing it now... it is very anoying because it keeps my msn disconnected...
I'm using Dutty's 1.5 (it's a great ROM!) with a 2.07 radio and I've got the same problem..
When it says 3G, nothing seems to come through.. when it changes to H, the webpage starts loading...
Does anyone have a fix to make it not switch back and forth between H and 3G? It gets frustrating because it often takes 1 or 2 seconds to switch between the modes....

Let us know how to you get on because I need this fixed.
My MSN stays connected fine in 3G. Push email works perfect too.
The icons only show the available type of signal.
They don't mean you are connected.
When you do connect by opening an app that uses the appropriate signal then the icon changes to show the signal that you are connected with.
If H is not available in a particular area then it will stay on 3G and if that's not available then G with show.
Hey guys. I'm on my 4th HD2 handset now since upgrading my vodafone contract one month ago. First two handsets had similar probs as allot of you have had, i.e sms not working, alarm not working etc etc. I upgraded to the 1.66 rom when i got my 3rd handset from phones4u. I then started getting the same issues as you just described- internet only profficiently working when H coverage is active. When it goes below that then nothing happens at all. I returned the handset today and got a new one. This one already had the 1.66 Rom update installed and sure enough, had the same internet issues. I started fiddling with settings and changed the band setting from 'auto' to 'WCDMA'. ( just trial and error, so senior members please chime in if i have given bad advise!) This seems to keep the network coverage constantly in H and since changing it several hours ago i have not had any issues.
Start> Settings>Wireless controls>Phone>Band> Change Auto to WCDMA
Give it a go!

Wouldnt that make the phone stick to the 3G/HSDPA/WCDMA band only and cause the phone to have no reception around certain areas that still operate on 2G GSM?
Exact.
I rather tend to do the opposite for that reason if I have trouble (sometimes you're in areas where 3G reception is low and it keeps switching between 3G and EDGE all the time), I'll force EDGE only. It's slower, but at least the connection is constant.
When at work mine fights bewteen 3g and h and both are like 1 bar signals, i'd rather disable both when at work as G is full signal.
Is there a way?

HSDPA Nexus One users (tips, battery optimisation & stats, signal, etc..)

Hi,
I'm starting this thread to collect informations about using the N1 on a HSDPA network. Over the next weeks I'll be posting stats and infos about my experience on a HSDPA network.
*-----------------------------------------------------*
Tips
*-----------------------------------------------------*
(reserved)
*-----------------------------------------------------*
Battery optimization
*-----------------------------------------------------*
HSDPA seems to be very hard on the battery, and to get the most of your N1 there will be some sacrifice.
What COULD help:
- Dial *#*#4636#*#* and set the phone to "WCDMA Only" in the phone informations.
- Try the app called "battery refresh" on the android store. It will discharge your phone. Then boot into recovery and wipe your battery stats.
- Install setCPU from the android store (1$) and force it to 245/576 while the phone is standby/sleep (thanks djmcnz)
- there's an app on the appstore called JuiceDefender that allow you to disable APN based on time or your location.
What WILL help
- disable sync (push). This have a MAJOR impact on HSDPA network
- and obliviously set brightness to auto or lowest acceptable value.
*-----------------------------------------------------*
Signal optimization
*-----------------------------------------------------*
So far I've tried two different radio rom, and the older 4.03.00.21_2 seem to offer better signal. So you could try using that one.
*-----------------------------------------------------*
Bandwith optimization
*-----------------------------------------------------*
- If you have a rooted N1, you could try in "spare parts" the hotweiss's Radio mod (in miscellaneous). In my case, there's not difference but still could be worth a try.
*-----------------------------------------------------*
N.B. : Fellow canadians, if you are on Bell or Telus with your N1, your are on a HSDPA network.

You could try JuiceDefender, I think that app does exactly that.
I seem to get alot of network connection errors from market, to internet, and some games that use internet.
I noticed my signal is usally full bars but switches alot between 3G and H (HSDPA)
Are my connections errors due to the switching of 3G and H much like some people have issues with EDGE and 3G switching back and forth in certain spots?
Also that *#*#4636#*#* didn't work. EDIT: nevermind, needs to be done on the stock dialer.
I set my network from WCDMA prefered to WCDMA only. See how that works. EDIT: Still switches from 3G to HSDPA...

I believe this is normal behavior. The 'WCDMA only' option disables EDGE network connections so that you only use the 3G/HSDPA.
Cheers
I hope there is a bug on the N1 radios..Cause I can't last 20hrs with 1hr worth of calls..and small use of internet. Yet other people saying they easily go pass 30hrs with heavy use...liars..
I can still get though a full day, business and pleasure on a single charge using HSDPA, WiFi and making calls... lots of calls.
In an average (16h) day I will be connected via 3G for about 10 of those and WiFi for the remaining six. I make about 180 mins of calls a day, 20% of those using the speaker, I have a feed reader with 20 feeds that update constantly, I listen to music to and form work (20mins + 20mins), I might play a game or two and I often read xda and/or download during the day. Brightness at about 55% fixed.
I charge my phone overnight, every night (have been doing this since my original RAZR anyway).
I have never, ever run out of battery during a given day.
Setting the CPU to min in standby is not a good idea - it needs some headroom to actually complete background tasks and 245 is too low IMHO and will be counter-productive. I suggest 245/576.
If your usage is much above mine then I'm not sure how many marginal tips will be needed before it makes a meaningful difference...

I got these errors on T-Mobile as well - since moving over to AT&T with the AT&T version they have completely disappeared.

Well I'm not sure but on mine it switch from 3G to H only when I fetch data. Else it stays on 3G.

frustrated with hd2 losing signal

I have trying to use the HD2 over the last 3 days and getting real problems with intermittent signal loss.
I know i have low signal from the mobile operator in some parts of my home but that has never been a problem with other HTC phones i used before. If the signal was too weak it would just drop out but come back if i moved a bit.
With the HD2 once the signal indicator turns red it stays that way even if i move to a strong signal area.
The weird thing is sometimes i would leave the phone sitting in one place with four bars and then minutes later it would show up with no signal and i can't receive calls.
Even stranger is that in all these cases where there is no apparent signal, all i need to do is press the send button to try making a call and the signal "magically" re-appears and all is fine. I've tried at least four differnt radios as well as the energy ROM ... no change.
Any ideas ? this is reaallly frustrating!!!!!!
do the problems resemble what I experienced here?:

change radio ROM, well experiment with several of them by trial and error (read the sticky/tutorial first).
OR
buy an indoor signal booster.
Well, regardless of the radio version ive had really odd intermitant service.
the best way ive found to help this is turn off 3G / HSDPA
Doing this forces the device to remain on GPRS, it means the battery lasts a hell of a lot longer and it doent drop the connection every time the device feels like trying to connect with HSDPA or drops it for no apparent reason.

it seem that you were losing data connection .... i'm a lot worse off ... i lose data AND voice .. all connectivity ... so i don't receive calls
as i said the weird thing is as soon as press send to initiate a call,cthe signal bars come back and everything works fine!!
as i said, stop 3G from working, when switching between the two due to what ever reason the HD2 decides to drop it will kill your connection, voice and all until it switches back. there is an issue with 3G and im wondering if its everyone or just folk using TMOUS radio and thus recieving the extra RAM
To disable 3G/HSDPA to test,
Open Comm Manager and click on Phone (not the on/off switch) to go to phone options. Scroll to bottom and select BAND. Switch network type from Auto to GSM.
3G/HSDPA is only needed for internet surfing. Time, weather, stock updates and email downloads don't really benefit from it. So turning it off this way will make these type data connections go through the EDGE network which is plenty fast enough for it. When you need to surf the net, go back and switch it to Auto and you will get 3G or faster speeds for that.

have you found a fix?
You could always try a signal booster on eBay for like 5...

If its just 3G then its probable just T-Mobile or then again a Hardware/Firmware issue
try a different ROM, Radio
I have this same issue I running a T-Mobile USA (using radio 2.12 but then again it was doing it on 2.15 as well) and it just drops all connectivity and says no service I have to search the network again.
My phone is unlocked I don't know if that might have anything to do with it as well
I've had this problem on my HD2 since i got it.
Edge (E), works but slow as all get out. 2-4s ping times or time outs. 3G (and when i say 3G i mean when it says 3G in the status bar) doesn't work at all. HSDPA (H) works great, WHEN it stays that way, which it doesn't.
It can switch between 3G to H every 10 seconds.
And i'm using it for tethering primarily, which makes working painful. Lose your VPN and SSH sessions constantly. Some days it's ok. But most, horrible. btw, i'm in the Denver area.
I've tried stock roms and custom roms (primarily Energy). All radios. Nothing fixes it!
This is the only thing I don't like about my HD2 and/or t-mobile. And it's a whopper. I'm almost ready to get another phone or carrier, depending on what's causing this.

I have 4 HD2's with one having the problem you describe and have come to the conclusion it's a hardware issue. Probably a cold solder joint on the antenna lead.
In WinMo or Android the signal bars jump all over the place but the signal level in 'about phone' shows a constant signal even though the bars show nothing. I don't drop to many calls but miss more than a few incoming. I travel for 5-8 hrs in the same area everyday and very familiar of good and bad areas of reception. I have tried stock/cooked ROM's/Radio's with no noticeable difference.
I'll probably send mine in to HTC to be looked at.

[Q] Data connection and other 3G problems..

Hi to all SGS2 fans out there
I'm a happy user of SGS2 but I noticed some problems during WCDMA usage. After few minutes of using 3G/HSDPA connection is still looking good on the signal bars but I'm unable to open any webpages/android market etc. I have to disable and re-enable data connection in settings to get it back working... for another couple of minutes..
Secondly I have short breakups during calls. When I'm talking to someone the phone mutes for a second. It doesn't happen every time - but it's quite often.
I'm currently using Lightning ROM 1.5 - but I had the same issues on 1.4, 1.2.
When I'm using GSM only - everything is fine.
Do you think I have a faulty unit?
I'm getting a similar issue. Currently on VillainRom 1.4. Full 3g bars but cant use browser, market, etc.
hi,i have just sign to forum now,i was looking around and seems like very populer here.
Anyway i have same problem here plus when i have 3G or HSDPA on my bar it is changing every few seconds (for example a few seconds staying 3G and a few seconds staying on HSDPA,not stable and non stop) and seems no stable and killing battery.I have already change my phone and sim for this reason under my warranty,if anyone give advise for this problem it will be really helpfull,thanks.

its a normal thing when some kind of background data or sync or net is active it will turn "H" and when not internet is active it will stay "3G"..

[LOOKING FOR A FIX] DATA drops

Hi guys. I've looked around and it seems that data drops are fairly common as of lately. I would like to find out what exactly the problem is.
Here's my situation. Data drops first occurred about a week ago, I was running RBJ and Harsh kernel with hsic fix in. Mainly it happens when exiting wifi range. Went back to nandroid with RBJ/Bricked and it was fine. Tried harsh again issue reappeared. Tried flashing pre hsic kernels and problem persisted. Full wipe, dirty flashes, different kernels etc. Problem is still there intermittently. Now I'm running stock everything and it seems ok for now, but I did experience it once. I guess more testing is needed. I'd think it could be carrier issues, especially as Orange UK confirmed they are having problems at (that would include T-Mobile) but my wife is on the same carrier and doesn't seem to have this problem.
So what you say? What rom/kernel combo you had issue on and on which one you didn't? Can anyone see a pattern?
Problem first appeared:
RBJ
HARSH
Orange UK
West London
As suggested per _ICE_
Post these please.

2. There is no 3g or H sign above signal bar but you have blue signal bars ?
3. No 3g or H, grey signal bars and all of the sudden signal bars dias appear and reappear
What do you mean by no data?

no1 and greyed out icon (no connection to google servers which atomatically mean no connection). The rest exactly as you described in that line.
Simply everyone put the same commits in their kernels and therefore caused them all to fail. Those HSIC fix broke other stuff too which is why everyone was reporting the samething. They've been reverted in CM and Franco and other kernels.

I'd agree that it was the case if it didn't keep happening after going back to complete stock via flashing images.
I wonder if something happened to sim along the way?

I doubt it is a sim issue. I get the same thing when I am in different areas of my house. Living room is great but the master bedroom and media room give me data drops. Have you tested to see if maybe this is the same thing happening to you? Certain areas causing it?
My phone will have full bars and show the H but out of nowhere I see the data drop, buts its only in certain areas. It has never happened in the living room where I spend most of my time. Oh and I am not on WiFi because I disconnected Time Warners crappy service and am waiting for Verizon to come set up if anyone is wondering why I was using data instead of Wifi .

Are you on stock?
And areas I'm affected in are a lot larger. I'm talking 25miles here.

Same issue here, it's driving me nuts.
The problem is, I have full service and with a data connection with a H.
Whenever I use an app or anything that would use the data connection, it wouldn't work. It just won't work. It does this, sometimes and sometimes in certain areas.
Say I have full service with a strong data connection, I'll use instagram and refresh, the arrows for data connection won't be there and nothing will show.
It does this constantly. I'm running the stock rom with Franco's r23 kernel. It's been doing this with the stock kernel as well. Using T-Mobile in NYC
It's quite annoying, and I really don't want to wipe and or flash another rom as it happens once in a while.

Read the link above. Something doesn't play well together. From the logs it looks like problem lies in loading apn.

I get this too. I thought it was only me.

I have no other provider sim with data to test it. Will test wife's Orange sim in a day or two, just to eliminate sim card as a reason.

Testing time
*#*#4636#*#*
Set to LTE/GSM/CDMA AUTO ( PRL) seems to make data work normal. Still testing though.
Give it a go.

I only noticed the data drop issue recently, but that might be because I'm on wifi the vast majority of the time. Undercover - I'm experiencing basically the same issue as you are, however my data signal seems to reconnect itself after about 15-20 seconds.
Running stock rooted ROM, motley kernel here, UVed quite a bit, though I don't know if that would cause any problems. Will try changing some APN settings tomorrow and see what happens
When having been connected to wifi overnight and leaving the wifi area, the phone does not switch over to mobile data. The signal bars stay grey.
I have to toggle airplane mode, and then it connects fine. Another fix is to search for provider and reconnect to the network (takes longer obviously)
Is this the same bug?

i think its an android issue
had this problem on my htc desire and now i have it on my n4
but it occured since 4.0
I seem to have problem with both data and also wifi.
Right now I am looking at my phone connected to wifi and its all grayed out and streaming music stopped. It seems that problem is worse when I have same time connected to bluetooth.
Something is seriously wrong with the new Android.l
No problems here. I'm on T-Mobile if that helps. Cm10.1 and Franco r28.

I get dropped/inconsistent signals as well but only in certain areas of my house or certain parts of the city I live in. I'll have a few bars of H and then poof no signal. I can almost predict when I'm going to run in to that little problem because my loading times and such will be all around slower. Even though I should have a fast connection according to my signal bars. During times when I'm experiencing fast download speeds my signal never falters. PS I'm completely stock, not unlocked, not rooted.
