I was thinking that is there any way I can force my phone to work on specific speed like enabling high speed means you get max out of your network. Say 14.4mbps is what your device has, can I fix it to work at 7.2mbps? I feel doing that so will save your battery.

I need to know why my data speed is so slow. What can I do?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI seem to be seeing an issue with the data network access on the EVO. When it happens none of my applications get internet aceess and my mobile network status says "turning on". The only way I've found to fix it is to pull the battery. Any one else seeing this? If so is there a better fix than pulling the battery?
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy eris has always has pretty alright battery life, what I would expect out of a smartphone, if unplugged at 9AM it usually was running on its last leg around midnight. I've had it for over 5 months now, I've always had it activated on alltel, I installed the 2.1v3 leak before the official OTA was out and just lately it seems like there something very wrong with my battery life...
If I unplug my phone at 9AM within the past week and occasionaly check and respond to a text message, my battery had been down to almost 30% by NOON... what?..
I have noticed that if I disable Mobile Network (3g/1x data), the thing lasts all day and some... If I turn mobile network ON, I can't see that I have any network traffic or any apps running in the background that are syncing data at all... I've had google account sync mess up on me before and have to reset my google account because it gets stuck in a syncing loop, but its not doing that, already checked. Very weird.
Anyone thing it could be something wrong in my ##PROGRAM#/##778# provisioning menu, maybe something got changed?.. Maybe it could be do to Alltel's AT&T merger that's happening right now, maybe some 3G tower's radios are turned off or something...
I just recently got the D2 after having the D1 for a year. I loved the D1 and loving the D2 as well, except for a couple of minor issues, but one that is really bugging me is the speed of the network on the D2. I've tested with the D1 and was getting over 1Mbps frequently. I have tried in numerous locations, different parts of the city, different times of days, and keep getting very slow test results. On the status bar it reads 3G, and the tests come back at 129kbps, 102, 165. Horrible IMO. I have *228 many times, is there anything else I'm missing? Or is this a known problem? I've searched and came up with nada.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAn app I'm developing opens a TCP socket connection to a server. That works great, no problems. What I want to do is simulate network delay and slow speeds, but the changes don't do anything. I telnet in to the emulator console just fine and can set the delay and speed changes, but they don't affect my app in any way. Even disabling data entirely (gsm data off) doesn't do anything. However, all of the settings affect the browser, just not my app. I'm just using a regular Java socket (java.net.Socket). What am I missing?

View 2 Replies View RelatedTrying to figure out how to get a working Android tablet to play in my car's USB port. Apparently the SGS3 Easy UMS app works, where you are able to play music through the car using that app, as it has a sim card slot to fix the issue where usually the car will say device not supported, as is my issue with the Nexus 4.
I was trying to get a Nexus 7 tablet installed in my car, without redoing all the stereos etc. to get USB sound, but it seems that may be the only way to go. I really want a USB connection, and not Bluetooth / Aux, as the sound quality is inferior...
Car: Chevy Cruze 2012 Tablet of choice: Nexus 7, but may go with a Galaxy Tab, if I'd be able to use USB that way.
I'm a SGS2 owner on T-Mobile and a university student. Yesterday morning my phone anomylously deregistered itself from my network, displaying the error message "Not registered on network" whenever I attmpted to make a call.
I phoned Samsung and T-Mobile and resolved the issue by a 'Network Refresh' and manually registering the phone to T-Mobile. I registered manually and had the phone working hours before I got the text from my NSP telling me that I had recieved a network refresh. About which time I noticed that my 3G was not connecting, and has yet to establish a connection today.
You can use the 3G network for surfing the Internet and at the same time the wifi network to move files only?

I cannot find the source of LightCycle on the web, but apparently, it seems to be a permission issue because it says "E/LightCycle-storage( 2892): Sessions root directory could not be created.".
Briefly, I need ONLY ONE of my apps to access the data mobile network while the other ones remain blocked but when I connect to a Wi-Fi I need them all to be connected, how can I do this?

How can I set my Galaxy Nexus to prefer WiFi for data over the Mobile Network? I have to go to settings, turn off "enable data access over mobile network," then cycle WiFi on-off several times before the phone will connect to my home router. Router has two channels, both a WPA2 encrypted one, and a "home guest" (open) one. Both show up as disabled until I cycle the WiFi off and on several times. There must be a setting to tell the phone to prefer WiFi -- no?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was searching online to see how to make a shortcut to toggle the 3G connection on and off without having to sift through multiple menus. I came across the method of having a long press on the power lock button to pull up the menu but mine does not show the network data on/off option and never has. It only shows
* Silent mode
* Airplane mode
* Power off
* Restart
Nothing else. Is there a way I can make a shortcut or some other way to ADD the network data on/off on this pull up menu from the power lock button? By the way why would my phone not have this option from the start when the phone came with Gingerbread and was updated to ICS 4.0.4? I have Sprint so they call this the Epic 4G Touch, so not sure if it was Sprint that buggered this from the other SGS2s that have this feature or not.
I'm trying out the network speed emulation as described in the following link: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html#net...
But is doesn't work, although "network status" command shows the correct values... I know it doesn't work by writing code to monitor the eth0 device in /proc/self/dev/dev, whatever speed I set, it seems always use maximum speed available to the host machine.
I have had some issues concerning turning data management back on. Since I only have 250 MB included in my plan, I would much rather have the phone on wifi only when I'm at home Problem is, when I turn data network back on, it says "network not available". The only workaround seems to be turning the phone off completely and rebooting. SLOW.By the way, this happens both with the excellent app Quick Settings and the normal Parameters Phone App.I saw someone having similar issues regarding Wifi On/Offwith a Sprint Hero.
View 19 Replies View RelatedMy dad works in a secure building and needs a phone without a camera. He's with ATT and uses a dumbphone. He wants an android phone he can swap his sim card into while not at work. He has neither a data plan or a texting plan because he doesn't use them. He's considering an unlocked Legend or N1 if he can find an app/widget that will disable the data network radios on his phone, so he can only use the wifi. Would this work, or are there better apps/widgets you guys know of?

Does anyone know how to make it only show people with phone number?
It was thread about forcing your evo to roam on 3g data network. I was able to find threads about the hero but now the Evo. VZW works great at the cabin but sprint I have to walk out to the street and it will not roam onto VZW for some reason.....I have goggled and searched all the usual forums.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I've been using my phone for a few days now, both at home, at work and a few other places around town. So far Sprint's network has been unusably slow.Is this normal?For instance, 3G seems to be capping out around .5mbps, often closer to .2mbps, with tons of packetloss. By comparison, on AT&T I was consistently getting 1.5 and 1.8 in the same areas.For anyone that had Sprint before the masses of early Evo adopters deluged Sprint's network, what was your experience?Does .5mbps seem about right?Am I just expecting too much?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSome of you may recognize me from having decided on going with the EVO. Well, it turns out my girlfriend gets a better deal on handsets with Verizon's network. She can get Droid 2 Global, Droid Incredible, or Droid X for free with $25 "all you can eat" lines. They are a bit more pricey per month than sprint ($5), but with free phones that seems like the network to go for. Her line doesn't require a contract either (although mine will).She is pretty much decided on the Incredible I believe. She likes the size (moving from iPhone 4s), likes the fact that there is no slide-out keyboard, and likes the nice quality of the screen.I am torn between an incredible and the Droid X. The big selling feature of the Incredible right now (since most specs are really similar) is the fact that Best Buy will have them for $1 at the black Friday sale. The other two phones will each run me $150-$200 out the door.
I guess I just wanted some incite on what you all think would be the better/best choice. The worst thing about the incredible for me is the tiny battery in it, although I know we can go aftermarket. My nunderstanding is that a 1600 mha battery wouldn't increase the bulk, but add a little weight, which is fine. Also, the incredible doesn;t ship with an SD card (I don't think?), though it comes with 8GB on board, so I could get an 8-16 gb card for our music for far less than the difference (of $150-$200) for the other droids.

Seems all the posts are about the opposite but I rooted and things were good, installed leedroid last night and just recently turned off my wifi and that's when I noticed that I had no data? I'm on Telus and far from using all of my plan. Very odd! Re-flashing with "AuraxTSense v8.0 HTC Sense 2.2" I do get the "limited service" warning at start up.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've had my desire for around a month now & had no real problems with it, flashed it with a stock ROM initially & then rooted it a couple of days after the root was released. When I woke up this morning I was connected to my WiFi network but when I tried to load a webpage, nothing happens, it comes up with the stock 'Web page not available' page. I tried a couple of web pages but got the same response, I thought it might be my WiFi network but when I got to work, exactly the same thing happens. I can connect via GPRS when I disable the WiFi with no problem. I've been using Y5 Battery Saver for the past two weeks, not sure if that's relevant. Is this a standard error / known bug, how would I go about fixing this, not having WiFi is obviously a bit of pain!
OK, installed a Terminal emulator over 3G & ran a couple of commands, including dmesg. From the output of dmesg it looks like the WiFi connects but then something goes wrong, here's a brief transcript:
pfn: set ssid = ******
Link event
Link UP
Enter set packet filter
start to add pkt filter 101
wds: 0021 @ 01
qmi: wds: network stopped
rmnet_stop()
wds: 0022 @ ff
qmi: wds: DISCONNECTED
If this is any use, I'm happy to try other commands.
