Hello all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime G-530T through T-Mobile. For some reason lately a lot of times that I send pictures I get a notification of "network error" I reset the phone and give it a minute the picture will got through. Usually when I am sending pictures I am at home connected to my wifi and in addition to the wifi my phone usually has 4/5 bars. I clean out my cache regularly. I have 1 1/2 GB of space left on my phone with and a 30GB SD card that contains my pictures,games etc. It's not rooted. Any ideas? Thanks

Anyone else been experiencing problems with T-Mobile UK in the past week?
The issues I seem to be faced with are:
1) Calls not getting through to me even though I have signal - either a reboot, or sometimes switching the phone to/from flight mode sorts this
2) Text messages not coming through until the next day (perhaps linked to the above as often they will appear in a bundle the next time I make a call/reset the phone)
3) Most mornings when I first check the phone it has gone to the 'no network' exclamation mark symbol. If I restart the phone/reboot then I get a strong signal so it was definitely lying!!
4) Often if I try to make a call I'll get an operation failed message or a can't connect toe 'general t-mobile' (or something along these lines) message. Again restarting the phone app or rebooting sorts this out.
I haven't installed anything for a good few weeks so I'm struggling to ppinpoint what would suddenly cause this apart from either hardware or network problems.
I'm considering doing a hard reset and running the phone with no installations for a few days to see if if improves but thought I'd canvas some opinion first in case I can save myself the bother.
Cheers
Had something like that...........
in the first few weeks i got my Vario II
but then a couple of weeks ago had a major prob and had to do a hard reset
Since then its been perfect, connect to internet first time........ send and receive email no probs........ and phone connection is great even thought when they did a street check at the shop it showned i didnt live in a 3G area I still get good connection
I'd back up your stuff before considering a hard reset though
had the same problem until I replaced my SIM to a 3G USIM.
This exact issues cause me not to receive anymore SMS text and 0 free memory.

I am experiencing the same issue posted over at androidforums.com. Today I had to take my phone back due to 0 amount of memory left on the device and no SMS or voicemails being received on the device. This along with the sleep issue is unacceptable and I have no clue how Sprint and HTC released devices with such obvious flaws. I was fiving Sprint and HTC another chance after my 6 month disaster of the HTC Touch Pro. Over that time I exchanged it 5 time due to the keyboard failing.
Here is the EXACT same issue I am experiencing: CLICK ME! or read below.
ROM Memory Leak Filling Up Internal Memory
Issue:
Over time, Internal Memory free space dwindles and no amount of clearing apps frees the space. This will also cause the above issue of SMS & Voicemail messages not being received once a critical amount of free space is reached.
During the past few weeks my my Hero has been exhibiting signs of a ROM memory leak. It led to not being able to receive SMS messages even after hard resetting the phone. See these threads for that issue:
HTC Working on critical SMS/Voicemail issue
Intermittent Text Message Receiving - Deals more with intermittent issue, but has some fatal sms isuues in it too.
MMS/SMS stopped working after out of space error?!?
It appears a leak is being caused when rebooting (or turning off bluetooth) the phone when the phone is in a "connecting" status with bluetooth device. Basically the phone stays in a "connecting" status when it fails to connect, even though the notification in the notification bar says it is connected and your bluetooth device says it is connected. In actuality it is not and all calls and audio will be routed to your phone not bluetooth device. If you restart or turn off bluetooth while your phone with a "connecting" status active I have found when you reboot it will eat away at your ROM memory(not RAM). You may not ever notice the bluetooth connection failure if you don't get a call while when it should be active. The "connecting" status does not clear unless you unless it manages to connect after a while which is rare (either does it within a few seconds or not at all) . I made a video of this behavior because not a lot of people have been experiencing or at least catching on to it with their usage patterns.
Edit: It appears that the leak actually occurs even if you turn bluetooth off while the phone is in connecting status so a reset is not necessary for the leak to occur. This basically renders bluetooth use unusable as there is no way I can think of to avoid a leak if it gets stuck with the "connecting" status.
Sorry for the video orientation.

I just returned my first hero today and set up everything all over again. i use bluetooth a lot on the phone, about 4 hrs a day, and would stop getting sms messages. the problem was fixed with a soft reset until recently, which they then told me to get a new one. i guess i will try to deal without using bluetooth for a while and see if any new info comes up or if i get the problem again.
this same thing happened to me too, wish I would have seen this earlier. I was having some BT issues so everything would connect and then disconnect.. so I had to get a new phone too
Can't wait for a patch!
The bluetooth issue isn't settling with me well. I used to use bluetooth daily, now I can't. Htc needs go adress this problem soon....
Hello,
I got a Samsung Galaxy SII I-9100, stock rom, no modification, and no rom update since I bought it.
Since this week-end, I see very frequent data uploads (green up arrow lights up, and network mode changes from 3G to H+). It happens every few seconds/minutes and stays for several seconds or minutes.
Because of that, my phone battery lasts less than a day instead of 2 full days and nights, and it probably also eats my data plans.
I uninstalled all the applications I downloaded, restarted the phone many times, disabled background data and auto-sync, with no success.
I've installed Radioopt Traffic Monitor, I can see the data being uploaded (around 50 KB in 6 hours), but according to the app, it's not send by any application.
The only work around is to long press the power button and disable "Data network mode". But still, I would like to use data and auto-sync without killing the battery (as I was doing before).
Any idea? I heard it might be related to the network itself. I'm on Vodafone Ireland. Might it be anything I installed?
Thanks for your help.
All your apps any apps .
Apps are set to download/update 24 hours a day .
Check each app and turn off its data connection or use an app like Quick Settings to turn mobile data on/off ,
jje
In my opinion 50kb in 6 hours aint high at all..

Hey,
I've found the answer, it might help somebody else in the same case:
I'm on a prepay contract and I had no credit, so I guess the phone was trying to connect to the APN, and the connection was refused, and it was doing this in a loop. After topping up, the problem disappeared.
Cheers
Same problem with my SGS2 but my phone is not sending 50 KB in 6 hours...but rather 200 MB in 5 hours !
I'm not on a prepaid contract, though.
here is a screenshot of the process sending all those data, if anybody can help me...

Me and my girlfriend both got a Nexus 4 a month ago and that was when the problems started:
Google talk shows a greyed out contact list a lot of the times, and other times it works as it should. I also see that when Google talk is working fine on my phone that sometimes my girlfriend goes offline, while she is in the same room as me and nothing has changed. Clearing the app's data, rebooting the phone, toggling airplane mode and signing in and out from google talk don't fix the problem. And even when we both are showing as online, sometimes when a message is sent, it gets delivered after a few minutes instead of right away.
Strange thing is that on other moments it justs works nice and fast.
An extra thing to mention is that in Whatsapp during that same time that Google Talk fails to work, messages get delivered really slow. I see my phone sends them to the Whatsapp server succesfully, but the delivery on the other phone can take 5 minutes or more.
Does this sound familiar?

Sounds like you're randomly losing data connection. Are your signal bars blue or grey during this issue?

The signal bars are blue and my internet connection seems to work at those times. That's the strange thing
I've done some more investigation when Google talk showed my girlfriend as offline a few minutes ago. The signal bars where fully blue and other applications that required an internet connection worked as the should. When I called my girlfriend the phone ringed immediately and it all worked good.
Starting about a week ago my phone became slower and slower to send and receive text messages. I use the stock messaging software platform. Data is fine and so are phonecalls and connecting. When I first start my phone it takes the normal 1-2 sec for the circle to stop spinning and show the sent timestamp and it's fairly snappy on the receive as well. But after a few hours the phone slows down to taking anywhere between 30 sec to a minute to send and god knows how long to receive. I don't think it's the network as my girlfriend is on the same plan sitting next to me and hers are very snappy. My phone operates fairly snappy but it'll take 30 sec to a min to shutdown. I've tried clearing the cache on the app and clearing the active RAM with no effect. No errors seem to report and no new apps on my phone except for a couple pushed updates. Only thing that seems to help is a reboot. I've also done a factory reset just to clear everything out and re-installed all apps from the market and not using TiBu and the issue returns.
Thoughts?
Setup:
Android 4.3 rooted MK2
most AT&T and some samsung apps frozen
less than 200 text messages in total
