[Q] Simple mobile slow data

I hope Im posting in the right place.
Im on simple mobile.
I have htc g2. i unrooted it with gfree .5.
I have vision ginerbread 3.3
IM having VERY hard time getting anything over like 40kb/s
I dont know what to do. I cant get on youtube, or even download an app from market without getting an info window that tells me something is wrong with my connection.
i have android version 2.3.3
baseband version is 12.22.60.09_26.02.01.15
kerner version is 2.6.32.28-cyanogenmod
mod version is cyanogenmod-7.0.2-vision
build number gri40
Could someone with simple mobile give me advice? i keep reading how you guys are getting 1.5mb/s and i cant even reach 100kb/s lol
thanks in advance

Are you on 4g hspa+? Did you change your apn settings?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

ever since CM7 7.0.2 i have not been able to connect to HSPA either, I have tryed new roms but no luck. I just ordered a new one under warranty.

hi, i did change my apn settings. but its still super slow.

its going to be your radio then, mine had the same issue, until i updated the radio, my speeds were so slow, then hspa+ finally kicked in and now i get about 2Mbps to 6Mbps

I have simplemobile as well, purchased it for work (to tether in a pinch) and while I am not exactly "happy" with the service + phone, I guess its passable.
I get HSPA as well, using Ultimate Droid + the .16 radio (I've tried every single one, this is the best) I get 2-6mbps download with this combo and simplemobile. My biggest issue is the horrible reception and the data dropouts for no reason. I take public transportation and trains for my job and can never hold a tether for longer then 5-10 mins if I am moving. Also for some reason I am unable to use voice and data at the same time, as well as the annoying issue of hanging up a voice call and having what seems like the radio "rebooting" ie: going to zero bars, dropping the data connection and 5 seconds later getting a radio lock again.
I have finally gotten good APN settings to enable me to use hspa as well as MMS (finally after 3 months i have mms). I would be happy to share if needed.

that be awesome!
btw, how do i get an .16 radio, i looked around a bit and couldnt find what i was looking for.
thanks

Share your settings, I would like to compare

me too. im resetting to 26.04.02.17
i do have ril files, but i cant find a way to put/flash them into my phone.
anyways, i get only 40kbs on 4 bar edge network. i heard it should be more.
my settings are 216.155.165.50 and 8080
what do u guys think?
ill be willing to donate $10 (to whomever or developer, if its allowed) if i can get this thing fixed. ive been working on it for like 3 days now with no success

I get about 2Mbps down and 600kbps up on hspa not sure if its 3g or 4g I was able to hit 6Mbps at 3 in the morning
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

Seriously? Even on 3g it shouldnt be sos slow i feel like.

could you guys who have g2 and simple mobile post your "about phone" stats so i could compare? Cause this is what i did. i unrooted. than rooted back, upgrade to version .17, changed apn settings (under tmobile data) to simple (i didnt create new simple apn setting). and im still getting like 30kb/s on edge or like 40kb/s on 3g

Hmm go to the development section and use the ril, radio Matcher

Int'l Note with Straight Talk BYOD - how STABLE is your DATA connection?

A quick background:
- I have an International Note - factory unlocked
- I signed up with Straight Talk few days ago - ordered the AT&T SIM Card
- Voice, text messaging and MMS works
- I am in Northern California
Problem is, the data connection is very UNSTABLE. I will have full bar, can browse the web and then.... BOOM! Suddenly no data, even though my phone show 3G and full bar. The only fix? Turn ON Airplane Mode, Turn it OFF or REBOOT, which is clunky and time consuming at best, especially when you are out and about.
This is not just an annoyance, but makes the phone almost unusable since I need data for my Exchange email, Google Navigation, etc. I DO NOT use the Note for tethering.
My APN is as folllow:
APN 1...
Name: Internet
APN: att.mvno
APN type: internet
APN type: default
APN 2...
Name: MMS
APN: att.mvno
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port: 80
APN type: mms
Fast Dormancy: Disabled
For those who use Straight Talk, could you tell me:
1). If you experiences the above
2). Where you are at
3). What APN do you use
4). Do you enable "Fast Dormancy"?
I am trying to figure it out if this is my Note or just ST flaking in my area.

I had the same problem with fast dormancy disabled so ok re-enabled it and it has been fine since.

Same issues here with an att sim and tried both single apn settings that came with straight talk and the two separate ones as you have. Also tried both fast dormancy enabled and disabled with same sketchy results. My location is Milwaukee, WI. Seems prone to disconnect right right after I connect to the market. Turning on and off the data connection re-establishes the connection though.

I used to have the OP's issue constantly here in Southern California too until I re-enabled Fast Dormancy and it's been pretty good since for me as well. Also have better luck with the 2 separate APN's that you're using.

That's interesting... it seems that I have to ENABLE Fast Dormancy for a stable data connection. I will try that and will update here.
I wonder if it has something to do with which tower I am connecting to...

Its really odd because everywhere I read AT&T doesnt support fast dormancy..
I still think its something at&t does to prepaid because my gf's SGS2 doesnt have that problem and I dont seem to notice it when I used her sim card..I'm on ICS and theres no way to turn fast dormancy off or on.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe some areas had upgraded equipment that supports it or something? Like you one of the first things I did was disable it per the instructions in the ST thread and never tried with it enabled until recently just out of curiosity.

I'm in the sacramento area, using the same settings with great results. Occasionally I have to toggle data, maybe once every two weeks, but not too inconvenient.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

I turned ON Fast Dormancy and I was getting even unstable data, so I turned it OFF.
I was driving to another city today for lunch and I noticed my data connection was pretty stable. I had been doing a lot of testing: Google Maps, Email, Pulse News app, etc.
However, one thing is consistent: everytime I open Android Market (Google Play now), it will load UP until where I want to DOWNLOAD an APP (for testing - small apps - less than 2 Mb), the data connection shuts off....same problem as what I posted above.
I tried doing so about 4 times in 3 different location: home, work and lunch place, each location is about 5 miles apart. Same results.
Is Straight Talk monitoring and BLOCKING app download?

I'm using straight talk on my gf's S2 with tethering and its blazing fast (6 Mbps down and 1.1 Mbps up) and stable right now. Although I'm in Michigan atm (heading to California tomorrow). I plan to switch from AT&T's price gouging plan to straight talk when I get back so I'll let you guys know how it is in Modesto.

I have the same issue with market and sporadically, otherwise.
I don't think this is a straight talk thing. It doesn't make sense.

But if I access Android Market using Wifi, it NEVER FAILED. I access it using office network, home network, Clear HotSpot and Barnes and Nobles WiFi.
With ST, I got "No connection" after attempting to download.
Yeah, doesn't make sense, but this is what I found after numerous testing today...

Even when my data connection used to be flaky with Fast Dormancy disabled before I re-enabled it, I was always able to install & update apps from the Market. The weird thing is that it was pretty much only NON-Google apps that gave me problems with the data dropping out.
I would call ST Tech Support tomorrow if I were you and see if they can check your account and stuff.

I am in Northern California as well, Fremont to be exact. I have not noticed any problems with data while out and about here. I use the exact setting as posted in post 1 in this thread.
While at home, I just turned off wifi, and tried to connect to the Play store, No Connection - Retry. So I turned on/off Flight Mode, went back to the Play store, and was able to download a couple of things no problem.
This is pretty the same thing that would happen to me on my last Android phone, so maybe it is more of a Android thing than it is a Straight Talk thing.
Other than this, my Straight Talk data connection seems to be fine when I'm out and about.

Thanks for the info. So it seems more of Android OS problem.
The thing that intrigued me is that this issue doesn't happen to my 3 other Android phone, which are running on At&t, Verizon and Virgin Mobile.

Same here. I've been using nothing but Android since the G1 and I've never had these issues until the Note on ST, so I don't think that it's an Android OS issue UNLESS Samsung has a bug in the OS on the Note.
When I have time I'll do a search in the Galaxy Nexus forum or something to see if there are any problems with people on ST there...

I'm up in the grass valley area. Same set up as you. (But I did not touch Fast Dormancy).
It works pretty well, but I do see the signal get lost every once in a while. I just wait a sec and it reconnects.

I had inter.. data connect issues for the longest time..i would constantly have data stop and have to turn on and off airplane mode to get it back..
market would fail to load etc
i changed to a single APN using the settings in this post and my data hasnt dropped out since..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24922145&postcount=89

Using same settings as OP and have had 2 occasions when my data dropped off..............in 2 months. About as stable, if not better than my previous smart phones dating back to my Treo 600. :-D

While custom rom'ing I was using Straight Talks APN settings w/ fast dormancy off and had no problems in downtown Chicago and on the north side around Wrigleyville where I reside.
W/ that said I installed the Chinese ICS Leak when it first came out and I had worse signals than on the GB rom's. Could have been the radio I flashed.

Battery Saving Tip: GSM Only Mode!

Ok, this may seem VERY obvious for many, but thought it was worth a mention.
On the N7105, under Settings > Wireless & Network > More Settings > Mobile Networks,
the "Network Mode" option has LTE/GSM/WCDMA (Auto/4G), GSM only(Edge/2G), WCDMA only (3G/HSPA+) .
When using data in passive mode, like letting emails, notifications, contacts, s/media etc sync in the background, if you leave it on GSM only, I'm guessing it'll take up a lot less battery.
And every now and then when you need to browse or stream etc, you can temporarily set it to LTE/Auto or WCDMA depending on the data load (like WCDMA for audio streaming; LTE/Auto for video streaming).
I'm sure there's widgets that do it from the homescreen too.
And I guess the same applies for the N7100, except for the LTE part.

For anyone on 3 in the UK wanting to try this, 3 doesn't have a 2g/GSM only network.

Thanx for the tip

While this is true, I can't stand it. This is coming from me! I used to keep my Blackberries always on 2G. But the problem is if you do anything OTHER than receive emails or send messages, then it's too slow.
Not to mention anything over data via 2G or 2.5G (Edge) cuts off your phone line as it's using the data connection and you can't handle voice and data over over 2 or 2.5G. Be warned! You're going to miss a lot of phone calls!

If you receive a call it will cut out the data connection. Not the other way round
You won't miss any calls...
By the way everyone, check out opera mini! Set image quality to low and pages load pretty quickly over 2.5g and decently over 2g.

Cmon guys. . This phone is the mother of all smart phones in regards of battery. ..you need these tricks only if you are stuck on a desolated Island. ..
handwritten from my note 2 (N7100)

I will also have to agree with the previous post. I get almost 2 solid days if not a little more of battery life on this thing. Changing the 4G setting only takes away the full ability of what my "little monster" has to offer.

Actually, yeah!
It happens to my mom and me all the time. At my moms house she doesn't use wifi, and she leaves it on GPRS. if she's chatting on whatsapp, the phone call goes to the answering machine because it's being transmitted over the same radio! So her being online holds up the line. I'd suggest you try it Turn on GPRS and browse the web and while loading a site give yourself a call.

Never ceases 2 amaze me how people use all kind of tricks, from Uv, Uc, to what the op does...etc etc...ending up with nothing more than a dumb phone with a big screen!
I paid the full price n I want to use the full potentiel, n how big of a deal is it to plug to a power outlet? unless ur in the middle of nowhere, in which case u'll have no use 4 the phone anyways!
Peace 2 all.

Well, people only end up "using" the phone for a few hours (in terms of screen time), and for the majority of the day, it's just passively doing it's thing. So if you had some widget set up for a quick 2/3/4G swap, for the great majority of the day, it wouldn't really make a difference in your experience with the phone. It'd just mean you wouldn't have to worry about running low on juice when you actually ARE using it for content/media/social media etc.
But that is, if you can be bothered The battery's great eitherway!
Re: missing calls on 2G when data is on, I guess it might be carrier specific (as to whether they prioritize pushing through phone calls over data); wouldn't really know. But in my case, the phone calls seem to tend to come through...
Anyway, as I do tend to use the phone quite a lot (multi tasking, a/v streaming, photography/editing, media uploading and more, all at a 'decent' brightness) and am out and about till late regularly, I've realized, putting in that little bit of effort when I'm not doing all that makes a noticeable difference by night time.
But if/when all else fails...spare battery

This is exactly what I do when I'm not really using the phone too much and its mostly in my pocket. Taking it out for a few minutes every now and then I use Opera Mini and the speed over 2.5g is acceptable enough. This is a huge battery saver if you need the phone to last as long as possible when you know you'll be away from a charging point for a few days.

if anyone knows of a widget that can directly toggle between 2G and 3G or 4G, i'd love to know about it because samsung implemented network switching differently from AOSP so apps that work on AOSP doesn't work on samsung, at least as far as I can tell. Even having root is useless, I still can't find a widget capable of directly toggling the networks...

For the time being, I've to a shortcut widget to "Mobile Networks" (Power Toggles -> 2G/3G) on my homescreen, and I switch it from there. It's one extra click, but I guess I can live with it!

I've got a widget for the shortcut too, but it's more than 1 extra click right? You have to click the widget, then Network mode, click the mode you want, then click OK, then it will swap modes. That's 4 clicks. On AOSP based roms, it's just 1 click. Guess it's probably a limitation of samsung roms.

So when I posted about switching the original note 1 to edge or gsm only to save battery everyone told me I was crazy and it didn't save any battery but now this is a tip?

You would have been right! it definitely does. The battery consumption difference between 4G and 2G is fairly significant...

I tried it on my previous S3 before and Tasker couldn't toggle it either.

Related to the missed calls when on 2G.
That depends of wich model you're using.
CDMA (example: Sprint) will allow you to use data, but data connection will not be available if you place a call. And if you're browsing the web, or downloading something, calls go directly to voicemail
GSM (example: AT&T) will allows you to browse data when you're on 2G, BUT, you can be able to receive calls even if you're downloading something, but the data connection will me cut off until you finish the call.
That's the main difference about how the modems and radio works between each technology.

[Q] Mobile Data connection suddenly drop

I just got my Nexus 4 not long ago. Everything is running great and smooth. The only thing keep me worry is my mobile data connection will suddenly drop. By suddenly drop, I mean I will have empty signal and bar ( empty triangle). However, it will back to normal in less than 30 seconds. It happens like average saying 4 times a day.
What I did to try to solve the issue myself.
I check the APN. I have all the correct APN based on the T-mobile APN thread from their website. FYI, you can find it here http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1979
I have micro sim card from T-mobile. I did not make or cut one. I'm also not on Tmobile prepaid. I have regular T-mobile plan.
Anyone experience anything like this? I saw many thread like data gray bar...low signal, slow data connection...but nothing like mine empty triangle, and back to normal in very short second...
Need some help and greatly appreciated. !!

Weird. I just started having the same issue., I'm on at&t though. Its really annoying. I tried clearing the cache and dalvik but had no luck. I'm considering reflashing my rom or upgrading the radio..

I'm on stock with no root. I will monitor a few more days before I RMA the device...but I doubt the second device will make any differences...No one sure it's a software issue or a hardware issue. My black triangle get back to connection pretty quick, but still annoying to lose all the data connection suddenly.

Are you having any issues with wi-fi?

What kind of Wifi problem are you talking about? Slow connection? or when you turn on wifi, mobile data turn gray?
I don't think I have Wifi problem (which I just turn on again) I actually set up all of my phone app the first time I got my phone. I download around 80
apps without any problem, and with no slowing speed. I did not check off the optimize Wifi box tho. I didn't run into wifi issue, so I did not check off
that box, although some ppl suggest that not to optimize the Wifi issue. The only big problem I have it's still the mobile data connection suddenly
go off, and go back on in a very short time. I can't imagine what will happen if I'm on a important call or using GPS navigation while suddenly the
mobile data go off...
What's your problem?
for more information about my phone, I have S/N: 310 K
stock, no root, 4.2.2, with micro sim card directly from T-mobile.

Bump =''[

Yep same problem here. All my signal bars will go gray and have no connection. I also get the empty triangle. Annoying as hell. I'm on stock JB 4.2.2 on straight talk.

I have not run into this problem yet but was messing around with my APN tonight and settled on this one and have had no problems with it, going from a "battery saving" HSPA:10 to HSPA+:15 when using data, watched it switch when using speed test. But here is my APN hopefully this can help you for AT&T specific problems. I came off the samsung galaxy s2 this week and switched to the nexus 4 and have had no problems thus far.

Too bad I have T-mobile...=''[

I have similar issues with my N4 running T-Mobile prepaid. I can get it, but it cuts in and out often. Wifi not an issue. I'm running CM10. I'm in an OK service area too. Cuts in and out frequently.

I guess I have the same issue, I'll have a blue triangle with no data activity (no small arrow head in either direction) even after trying to use Google search; it will be 15-30 seconds after hitting enter before any activity happens.
Im rooted, but running stock.

I already request for a replacement. Will update soon, but I doubt the new device will be different.

MMS not working while on WiFi - Suggestions?

So I recently upgraded from my Nexus 6 to the 6P. Fantastic upgrade, except that there seems to be the issue I mentioned in this thread title.
Whenever I'm on LTE my MMS messages / group messages come in just fine. But whenever I'm connected to WiFi -- either at home or at work -- I'll get the blinking LED notification that I've received an MMS message and sometimes see the "Message is Downloading" placeholder, only it won't ever download. I physically have to disconnect from Wifi, and then the message will roll in a few moments later.
A few specs to hopefully help out: - T-Mobile user, phone is stock but unlocked/rooted. I've flashed a different kernel (Franco) but that's it. I live in Los Angeles, and this wasn't an issue with the old N6, but first made it's ugly appearance on the 6P. Wi-Fi calling is always on and preferred. I can literally pop my SIM out and into the old phone, and the MMS will send/receive just fine. It appears to be a 6P problem. I've tried disabling WiFi Calling but it doesn't resolve the issue.
ADDED NOTE: I primarily use Messenger, but I switched to Hangouts to see if it rectified the problem. Same problem persisted. Same with Textra.
I've had experience with flashing other ROMS/radios on the old N6. I'm hesitant to change to a different ROM because I'm pretty happy with how the phone is working with stock, and everything I change can basically be done with Nova Launcher.
I've downloaded the older radio files, and was ready to attempt flashing one of those, but it's very different with this new TWRP 3.00+ and different partitions. My confidence with that has vanished with the new 6.01 partition stuff. If this is a potential fix, any help in that area would be appreciated.
I've also changed and fiddled with the APN settings, hoping the change might improve the MMS issue. It hasn't. I'm using the suggested T-Mobile APN settings that pop up when searching for this issue.
I've been debating switching to Project Fi, but with the absolute reliance on WiFi this hiccup has given me a bit of pause regarding that switch. Specifically because it happens on my home Wifi in Culver City, then the business Wifi in Downtown Los Angeles, across both 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi bands.
Just looking for any help or suggestions. Thanks!

So I recently upgraded from my Nexus 6 to the 6P. Fantastic upgrade, except that there seems to be the issue I mentioned in this thread title.
Whenever I'm on LTE my MMS messages / group messages come in just fine. But whenever I'm connected to WiFi -- either at home or at work -- I'll get the blinking LED notification that I've received an MMS message and sometimes see the "Message is Downloading" placeholder, only it won't ever download. I physically have to disconnect from Wifi, and then the message will roll in a few moments later.
A few specs to hopefully help out: - T-Mobile user, phone is stock but unlocked/rooted. I've flashed a different kernel (Franco) but that's it. I live in Los Angeles, and this wasn't an issue with the old N6, but first made it's ugly appearance on the 6P. Wi-Fi calling is always on and preferred. I can literally pop my SIM out and into the old phone, and the MMS will send/receive just fine. It appears to be a 6P problem. I've tried disabling WiFi Calling but it doesn't resolve the issue.
ADDED NOTE: I primarily use Messenger, but I switched to Hangouts to see if it rectified the problem. Same problem persisted. Same with Textra.
I've had experience with flashing other ROMS/radios on the old N6. I'm hesitant to change to a different ROM because I'm pretty happy with how the phone is working with stock, and everything I change can basically be done with Nova Launcher.
I've downloaded the older radio files, and was ready to attempt flashing one of those, but it's very different with this new TWRP 3.00+ and different partitions. My confidence with that has vanished with the new 6.01 partition stuff. If this is a potential fix, any help in that area would be appreciated.
I've also changed and fiddled with the APN settings, hoping the change might improve the MMS issue. It hasn't. I'm using the suggested T-Mobile APN settings that pop up when searching for this issue.
I've been debating switching to Project Fi, but with the absolute reliance on WiFi this hiccup has given me a bit of pause regarding that switch. Specifically because it happens on my home Wifi in Culver City, then the business Wifi in Downtown Los Angeles, across both 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi bands.
Just looking for any help or suggestions. Thanks!

It's been this way for me for as long as I've owned an Android device. MMS has never worked over wifi for me....I've owned a Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 as well as some HTC and Samsung devices (quite a few). The only device I've ever owned that it worked on is my Mi Note Pro. Even then, it seems to toggle on mobile data and give it priority over wifi until the message is downloaded. I know this isn't a solution, but just letting you know that this is pretty common.
I've used sprint in the past but am now on T-Mobile

Yes MMS inherently built to use only mobile data.
However SMS applications have setting along the line: enable data when dealing with MMS.
For e.g.
That's what I mean by not being able to send/receive MMS on WiFi.

What messaging app is that?

I think that's a T-mobile issue. I used to get it all the time.
