Radio Issues - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Anyone else noticing an issue where you lose LTE in an overwhelmingly LTE area and it sticks on 3G? I have to use airplane mode to bump the radio back to 4G. This has been happening ever since I've had the phone. I'm curious if its just my area or if others are experiencing the same problem and if they've been able to fix it, what did you do? I have my MSL and I haven't taken the update so I am still able to edit my APN settings.

It doesnt happen to me. Whenever I dont have LTE is due to low coverage, especially when driving.

I have the same issue. The only thing that helps me is when i use it as hot spot is I mount it on my satellite receiver (pointing to signal direction). with a better signal it doesn't switch. I noticed with about 20% strength jump to 3G but my 3G is weaker and slower...

I have not experienced that problem.

Mine really prefers LTE and rarely see it on 3G. If it does it's fairly quick to go back. I actually think it's too touchy it will hang on to a crap band 41 signal rather than a good 25 or 26 signal. A lot is of course going to depend on your area but I would try a radio reset.

Only time mine sticks is if im updating something or using data it wont switch back unless i move to another location outside of 3g or after the download

During this past week I lost all data connectivity. I was in a strong signal area where I have never seen a problem before. The only thing that looked wrong was there was no strength of signal indicator. My data signal has been set on automatic since I've had the phone. I changed it to LTE CMDA, the phone reset, and the problem disappeared.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?

I had a problem over the weekend. I was in an area with no Sprint signal at all, and when I got back home realized my phone hadn't reconnected to Spring. I ended up having to reboot, then I got several messages and emails that had been pending.

I was going to suggest this action. Set your network type from automatic to lte/cdma. Then reboot. You may also want to run a profile and prl update. Last ditch you may want to run the HFA again. Usually just changing the network type will suffice.

HSDPA not working on t-mobile in the UK?

I have a TD2 and over the last few days I have had no Internet access/data connection over HSDPA on T-Mobile in the UK. This includes weather tab updates/youtube app/Opera/Microsoft MyPhone etc. When using GPRS and WiFi there are no problems. I have enough signal so I am at a loss. I have also performed a hard reset to no avail.
Can anybody state whether they are able to connect to data via HSDPA on T-Mobile in the UK?
Many thanks
Tony
Working fine here and getting damn good speeds actually(260k/s). Try unticking 'use proxy server' in connection settings.
Working ok for me yesterday, uploaded photos to Facebook no probs. Though I continually get error dialogs when moving from a 3G to non-3G area. As I live in a non-3G area I am thinking of disabling it for now.

Is your problem just in one location? I've had days where 3G didn't work at all in a particular location, next day it was fixed. I believe t-mobile is rolling out a program of combined cell towers and equipment with 3 Network, so certain cells become unavailable for a while.
I've also had the problem where "H" shows with good signal strength, yet unable to get internet connectivity through the cell, due to a network problem.
To be frank, in the 2-3 months I've been on t-mobile I've seen a marked deterioration in service such as poor speeds and cells unwilling to handoff data connections. I think too many people have been signed up
I've actually left T-Mobile after being with them (one2one) for over 15years. 3G speeds really inferior to o2. Had friends o2 sim in my TD2 and got 500k, on T-Mobile 50k to 157k (If I'm lucky)

T-mobile is currently inergrating its 3G HSDPA network with 3s so speeds should be better by the end of the year..
they are predicting speeds of 4.5mbps by the end of the year.

Hoping it works well as I don't get much joy most of the time with the 3G service thus far.

The integration is not quite as much as you might expect. The plan was just to share masts, using separate t-mobile and 3 antennas, and probably linking into a shared feed to their respective routing centres, or whatever they're called.
It seems to be more "infrastructure sharing" rather than merging. Obviously, if there is a 3 mast in what is now a poor t-mobile reception area you would get a better signal with a new t-mobile antenna on that mast.
But I wouldn't hold your breath, you've probably heard the news in the last day or so that t-mobile will shortly be merged with orange
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8243226.stm, so I really can't see the t-mobile - 3 collaboration going much further than what's been done already.
I noted from details of this new merger: "Integrating the businesses would cost between £600m and £800m, the firms said. This bill would include decommissioning mobile phone masts"
So, that's the same number of users and fewer masts. Hmm...

260kbs! that is shockingly slow for hspda
Slow ? Thats over 2 megabit/s - some people done even get that on their landline broadband. Of course it go faster but is going to be limited at the network end. Two meg is more than enough for me out and about though!

How to stop network Roaming

I'm on T-mobile here in the UK and I can't seem to stop it roaming to Orange.
I don't mind roaming except when it choses Orange 2G when I have a 3G cell over the road from me on T-mobile. If I go into networks and after searching select T-mobile it will change to T-mobile but it will not stay on it.
How do you switch off network roaming?
I'm running ICS 4.04
same here
Switch off the setting in settings-> data usage-> advanced settings

Thank you for your reply but I didn't say anything about Data roaming. I need to stop it NETWORK roaming. I don't get charged for data when roaming on Orange as they are the same company in the UK.
As I said I need to stop it NETWORK roaming. Any ideas please?
Go into Settings | Wireless & Networks | More | Mobile Networks | make sure Data Roaming is unchecked.
settings, wireless, more, mobile networks, network operators, select network instead of auto?

Yes I have done that many times as said in my first post.
"If I go into networks and after searching select T-mobile it will change to T-mobile but it will not stay on it."
I don't understand why it keeps wanting to change when I have manually selected my network. Is this a ICS 4.04 bug or am I missing a roaming setting somewhere?
Ref. Data Roaming it has been turned off the whole time see screen shot
You mean national roaming ? I think that was in previous CM and only in CM, not AOSP.
So has anyone got any ideas how to stop this roaming?
I've just got home and it has roamed to Orange again, I've been home for 1 hour now and it is still on Orange even tho I have a 3G T-mobile cell over the road from me. If I manually select T-mobile it will go onto it but it doesn't want to stay on it.
I didn't have this trouble before I upgraded to ICS 4.0.4

I think you have to call T-Mobile and opt out as its NOT normal roaming(little R over signal bar) its a network specific thing

[Q] No 2G on N9005

Hey guys, first timer here. Having a bit of issues with H+ / 2G and 4.4.2 battery drain.
I know that 4.4.2 has a battery drain bug that will be addressed with the launch of 4.4.3 and so I'll have to just keep waiting until it reaches my phone. However, I'm using the LIME network here in Jamaica and I'm unable to get 2G. This being the case, my phone stays on H+ while I'm on the road and this kills my battery very rapidly. What I usually do with my note 2 was to keep it on 2G until I needed to browse and that would allow my battery to last for up to about 16 hours.
When I select GSM only, I don't get any data whatsoever. When I check with my provider, they claim that the 2G band on my phone probably isn't compatible with theirs. I find this strange, because this note 3 is an international version. Are there any tricks, hacks or anything that anyone can give me to get 2G on demand and save some battery?
Ps. I normally use 'tellinfo' on the note 2, but it apparently isn't compatible with the N9005. Any help'd be greatly appreciated.

ask operator for their band specifications and then search it to find flashable package of modem of
N9005 that s compatible with urs.
then flash that modem.zip Or flash whole rom of another region

Are you sure, that there is 2G coverage in your area?
Many phone flashed with Super imei facing this problem, comform your imei number typing in keypad *#06# , compare with sticker under battery or box.

Well I don't know how it was flashed, but when I typed that in, I got a different imei than what's on the back of the phone. Is there any way I can fix it back? The phone keeps coming off the network and saying not registered, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a fix for this problem but u need to tack your mobile to Mobile service shop who has a TOOL SPT Box, look below link.

Sounds promising. I'll get on it Monday morning and post back here with the results. This should work for the 2G issue, but what do I need to do about the changing imei? I'd much rather get the phone back on the original
Additionally, I hear mention from a couple of persons that they ended up taking their phones to repair shops and had them do it. Is it that special hardware has to be used along with the spt software; or can I just connect up to my laptop with the software and do it myself?

Can you force 3g

My office is at my home. Our area has very poor sevice. I had to get a range extender from Verizon since it is so bad. I have no need for 4g since i have good wireless internet. I don't want to drain the battery with the phone constantly looking for 4g. Does the phone have a setting to force 3g or does anyone know if one of the toggle widgets will work?
That is one of the things i didn't like about my LG G2. You could not turn off 4g. Battery life on it is excellent on it despite the issue.

That's the problem I had with the G2. There was no setting on my Verizon phone to force it. No widgets would work with it. To my knowledge no one ever found a way to do it. Can anyone confirm we can do this on the Pure with Verizon service.
Thanks,
Also on Verizon and would love a way to force it off 4G at the area by my work which is where a bunch of medical centers are the 4G bandwidth is <1MB and often internet cuts in even with good signal. The issue is simple overcrowding of their local capacity. When I had my OG droid which used CDMA I had no issues with performance.
I think we are going to be finding more users looking for this so hopefully there will be a hack or an update to allow for this!

You can force it on LG devices (tested on both G2 and G3). Provided that your device has the Verizon Hidden Menu apk (custom ROMs have it, might not be present on stock, I don't remember), run the following in a terminal app: am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.lge.VerizonHiddenMenu/com.lge.VerizonHiddenMenu.systemSelection.SystemSelection
It'll pop up a menu selection that lets you choose between the various network modes: CDMA+LTE/EVDO Auto (2G, 3G, and 4G), LTE Only (just 4G), EVDO only (just 3G), CDMA w/o EVDO (just 2G), and CDMA w/ EVDO (2G+3G). There's also some GSM/WCDMA options in there.
No clue if something similar exists for the Pure, but just thought I should point that out.
I downloaded the LTE OnOff app for HTC Thunderbolt today and can confirm that it does work. I set it to CDMA auto (PRL) and the phone is staying in 3g.
I have a network extender at home on Verizon. My old S4 would connect to the extender. After 2 days, my MPXE has not connected. I just moved the SIM from the S4 to the MPXE.
Do I need to call Verizon and register my phone with them?
Any suggestions?
I did not have to contact Verizon. DIAL #48 to see if you are connected. I just had to force 3g so my X would not constantly try to connect to 4g. You dont get the little house on this phone, so you might actually be connected.

I use the app call Network Signal Pro which tells me what kind of cellular signal is being used. It reports LTE, but has low signal strength.
With my old phone, when I was connected to the Net Extender I would hear a beep before the call rings thru. the Net Signal Pro would also report "network extender" as the network type.
What does #48 do to the phone?
I think in the secret menu you can force it to CDMA only. I saw it but for me I chose lte/CDMA I usually have lte everywhere. But yes there is option to set it to CDMA only

Verizon dropping to 1x and !

Have not seen any mention of anyone really having data issues. However this was my experience once I was rooted. Of course all the proper settings in networks tab. Thought maybe a bad sim as I had it for awhile and cut it for the MXP. Verizon swap no problem. Leave the store and ten minutes later it happened again. While rooted I only had gravitybox and viper installed along with kernel auditor. Uninstalled them no change. So here I am now after a factory restore and no signal drops whatsoever. About to reroot and go step by step to try and trigger again. Besides returning phone for what I think is software related is there anything else I am missing to setup after rooted that is tainting my setup. Maybe a rom would help. But not too many days left for Amazon 14 day return on cellphones. This is last resort as I love the phone. Thanks for any assistance.
Sounds like you're in LTE mode only (even though you may have it set properly in settings) so any time you lose 4G it can't drop to 3G. You need to access Phone Info and change it to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL).

It's a hidden menu that can be accessed several ways. I have a direct link to that I created in Nova launcher (widgets > activities) that I restore to any rom/phone I use. It can also be accessed from the dialer (sorry but I don't know the code to enter) or with an app (Google HTC Thunderbolt LTE On/Off app - it may no longer be in the Play store). If I'm not mistaken there's an Xposed Module that'll add it to your power menu.

Thanks. Will try once I notice the issue again. Now Pandora doesn't want to work but it worked before FAC restore.
Edit: works fine to get to menu. Noticed the default was something like lte,gsm, CDMA auto(prl).
Changed to setting in second post.
We shall see.

Sounds like you're in LTE mode only (even though you may have it set properly in settings) so any time you lose 4G it can't drop to 3G. You need to access Phone Info and change it to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL).

Assuming OP has the same issue I am having then it isn't in LTE only mode. The issue I'm having seems to be APN related. I went camping this passed weekend and the data connection wasn't available which shows a ! in the signal icon. If I went to the APN settings and tried a different APN then it would connect and show LTE. This is a bug similar to what I've seen on some other phones using AOSP systems like CM, etc.

I messed around in APN's but mine would always jump back (automatically) to the 2nd from the bottom on the list.

I'm not sure that actually changing the APN is the issue. I think it has more to do with it resetting the data connection state. Sort of seems like a race condition because changing the APN didn't always fix it for me the first time.
I've also never seen a data issue in my hometown. It was only when I was out in the middle of nowhere.
My wife's Nexus 6 never had the issue while we were camping.

Even when I change lte settings to lte CDMA prl auto it defaults back to the one with gsm CDMA lte. I have lte only on and no issues. What apn there are so many in the list.

LTE/GSM/CDMA is fine. This corresponds to "Global" in the main cellular settings. It simply means it will use either GSM or CDMA depending on the sim card installed. With a Verizon SIM card it is the same as having LTE/CDMA.

Yes but I have tried those settings as well as hidden menu settings. Only one that works is LTE only mode in hidden menu. Just don't understand why all the issues on any other setting. This is first unlocked phone for me but I've never had to change these settings while running stock roms. Is there anything else that I should of done after installing sim? Or even after to get these settings to work.
