3g signal drops while toggling wifi/3g mode

I have noticed that when I toggle to 3g mode after using wifi for data , the signal drops to 0.

also the 3g speeds and signal strengths are way weak than GSM phones on same network. do we have some tweaks that can help here out ?

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

well dropping signal to 0 while the signal area changes is not affected by the ROM as far I can tell .. PRL is one factor that matter and can help to get stable signals.

Just a honest opinion.. take it or leave it ... :D

THIS IS FOR METROPCS USERS

i used SHOGUN ROM AS A BASE

I made this rom for people who have their evo 3d running on metropcs your phone needs to be already on metropcs with working internet after flashing this rom your mms and voicemail notification will work from first boot also if you wipe data and cache or restore apns to default at any point after flashing this rom your mms and vm notification will still work i have tested this rom working

YOU MUST HAVE WIFI AND 4G TURNED OFF TO SEND OR RECIEVE MMS MESSAGES

How old exactly is this rom?!?!! This is cool though even.though I have everything working on my evo with metro it wouldn't hurt to have this as s backup
[HTC EVO 3D] oakieville:
i made it afew days ago shogun as a base y do you ask is sumthan wrong with it?

Good to finally have some MetroPCS love on these forums.

[HTC EVO 3D] yungtexas:
Oh no I was just asking in general....I'm gonna give this a try and see if I can finally be 100% with my evo 3d...although the download never finishes....once it starts it maybe downloads a meg then it says complete. I've tried multiple times to no avail
[HTC EVO 3D] myke3295:
Great! works and thanks for posting it.

Awesome !i have Sprint but its.awesome to see a ROM for another provider if I ever switch LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] myke3295:
cant send mms tho
[HTC EVO 3D] oakieville:
Sorry i forgot to say wifi and 4g have to be off to send or recieve mms i edited op
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
The wildfire mms. Works great on your ROM. No issues with font sizes. Haven't tried WiFi though.
[HTC EVO 3D] oakieville:
ya im running the wildfire mms to i like it dont work for me on wifi but still i like thanks for sending me it i plan to make it transparent when i get a chance
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
Yea I liked the transparency of the old app I just like the sense style mms apk better for some reason. Basically just how its customized into the contact and everything. The transparent status bar kinda trips me out though I can't see what's in my notifications depending on what wallpaper I have.
[HTC EVO 3D] oakieville:
i like the sense mms better to and the transparent status bar is easy to change back to white or watever you want there
[HTC EVO 3D] edgeez25:
Man Its nice to see somebody actually supporting the Metr3vo... was on the OG and had it down and could get any rom to work for me but takes a lil more work on the 3D its frustrating some times...
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
Yea I haven't wanted to change it since i still gotta take it back to those d bags that flashed it.
[HTC EVO 3D] yungtexas:
Your 3g working??
[HTC EVO 3D] oakieville:
na he has same prob as you yungtexas and he has original meid still cant figure out wat the prob is in qpst in the ppp tab somewhere there is a check box says sumthin about 1xrtt do you guys have that checked
[HTC EVO 3D] edgeez25:
My 3g Is working fine and Im in Stockton also... what PRL do you have??
[HTC EVO 3D] yungtexas:
The nature of our 3g issues goes beyond the prl trust us...I'm on 3022 right now but have tried em all from 3019-3026
[HTC EVO 3D] yungtexas:
Yeah mine I think is checked and the box to the right of that is unchecked like the photos in the provisions guide show. I may just play with it and see what happens
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
Your supposed to have the box for optimized dormant handoff checked according to all the guides. That other box says 1x-ev>1x I think its for phones that use hybrid mode. But not for us.
[HTC EVO 3D] oakieville:
you misunderstood i have 3g mteezey and yungtexas have an prob i cant figure out.

i have dormant handoff check but not the 1xrtt one its unchecked
[HTC EVO 3D] yungtexas:
Yeah that's exactly what I meant!! The other one is unchecked but nothing Bro!! I feel like we're near the problem though as long as we keep brainstormin and troubleshooting
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
I knew you had 3g. I was just letting him know which one to check. I can see how that sounded though. Typing things can make it sound different than what you are really saying.

As for what you were saying yungtexas I'm starting to feel like its a lost cause. I started this process in October when i bought an og EVO. That was before the 3g prls were being put on the phknes ota. But back then I would get a 3g icon but would switch back a few minutes later. I got data a few times but as soon as the 3g really started rolling I never saw it again. Sold that EVO cause the place repaired the meid and I thought that was the problem. So I found this 3vo for super cheap bought it had it flashed without a repaired meid and I'm still having no luck. At this point if I get 3g to work I dont know what I'm gonna do with myslelf. I know the data settings for like every stock metro phone now plus the different settings that are used on motirolas by heart. When I've said I've tried everything I really have.LOL. Im giving myself till my next phone bill to figure it out otherwise im gonna switch to boost or sell my phones and get plans with Verizon. It's just so aggrevating to go somewhere and need to use the net on the fly and it takes minutes for pages to open . Anyways sorry bout the long post. It's been fun but getting old.
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
Well I have had a repaired meid phone and this one that's not and haven't got it on either. Except for the couple minutes at a time a long time ago on the og EVO. I think it may be since metro has it capped everywhere but.Florida to a point that our phones won't connect.
[HTC EVO 3D] yungtexas:
And that's why waiting to see if anyone else outside of Florida has had any luck with getting 3g. I mean I had 3g for a little bit on a sense rom over a month ago for a couple days....it would even stay on during and without data transferring...but the crazy thing is on the network type app I was still showing 1rxtt. Guess Florida is where its at when it comes to flashing cdma phones yo metro....they got the good end of the stick on boost and cricket
[HTC EVO 3D] oakieville:
Ya i really dont get y some people get 3g and not others i have it and its steady and im in stockton, ca. One thing i notice is so far everyone i have talked to that couldnt get it had some part of the flash done by someone else not sure it matters but im thinking its something with the initial flash i do it by myself i just pay to add the esn but no one else ever touches my phone so leaves me thinking its some with the flash not sure tho but i have flashed alot of phones and never had that prob

And yungtexas if you where on a sense rom and *#*#4636#*#* showed 1x rtt then it was 1x rtt sense rom have that issue dont beleave it unless *#*#4636#*#* shows evdo rev A
[HTC EVO 3D] yungtexas:
I just wanna reflash my phone all together and see where that gets me
[HTC EVO 3D] oakieville:
Thats probably your best bet
[HTC EVO 3D] yungtexas:
What's the right and wrong way to do this...I don't want to do this again
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
If your not gonna do it yourself find out if they use houdini. If so make sure they use a 3g phone when they flash it.
[EVO 4G General] Jbino:

I've never flashed a rom, afraid I may brick my phone. I've read alot just haven't flashed yet.
[EVO 4G General] spyd312:
Did you install a new kernel? If so, flash a new one that's made for non-sense ROMs. Also, never say your device is bricked when it's able to turn on and function. Being bricked means your phone ceases to turn on.

Hi everyone,

Im with a huge problema with the Frequency of my UMTS,

When i dial to *#*# 4636 #*#* and get to system information/configurarion

there is an option to select the Band of GMS/UMTS

Automatic

EURO Band

USA Band

JAPAN Band

AUS Band

AUS2 Band

and if i select any of there the phone return Fail when i try to set any on these.

And i think because of that my phone cant connect at 3G and only to EDGE.

Any one knows how to fix that? Maybe a reflash of original rom?

Hi everyone,

Absolute noob here, first post and this seems the best place to post my query.

I'm having problems with my video calls with Skype on my Galaxy Note. I bought mine just about a week ago and Skype the most important app for me right now as I need it for comm with my relatives and GF. but video doesn't seem to work. Is there any additional configuration that I need to setup? Or Is there any particular version for Skype that I should be using for NOTE?

I really appreciate any help or guide on this...

Many thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S II General] Grimlocc:
I've seen other threads on this but they were from some time back so I was wondering whether the SG2 getting really hot near the camera was an issue that has been fixed with an update?

I've only had my phone for a couple of days and was just using MAME when it got really quite hot on the back near the camera. Is this a bad thing? Can the phone handle it? I stopped playing just in case it was going to damage the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] MrPhilo:
This is normal. It is a thin phone. If you really want to play with less heat, just clock it at 800Mhz and switch off a core. It'll handle it perfectly like all the other single core are doing. Only difference you'll see is that loading time be slower.
[Galaxy S II General] NobbyLK:
Custom Rom

Or just use a Custom rom Like Checkrom - that will handle the heat problem better by using another Voltage. And your Phone is (i think) a bit faster with that rom.

But there are many other Roms here in the Forum.

Been looking at the skyrocket not sure if I want to get it. I live in Phoenix we Verizon lte but don't know when we are getting it. I know that the gs2 is better then the

Skyrocket, processor wise. So can anyone help our give done insight
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
if you dont have AT&T LTE in your area, dont get the skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] igotdez:
No, there are other things...

Our radio actually works - lots of reports are coming in that the Skyrocket is having tons of connectivity issues.

Our battery life is excellent - A number of ****rocket owners are reporting that battery life on LTE is horrible.

Our phone isn't a gigantic fatty.

Our device is faster - it's not the launcher - the Snapdragon is consistently slower in every workload anyone has tested, whether it is the "feel" of the user interface, or if it's a benchmark. As much as I hate benchmarks, when they are consistent with subjective user interface responsiveness experiences, it does say something.

I just copy/pasted from entropy512 thanks....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shamelin73:
I have been contemplating this same thing....

I am in the Chicago market (LTE) I am going to stay with the OG. Already ordered the car dock from Samsung.

I can stream Hulu+ just fine with the OG.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jconfus:
go to the store and compare two phones

do a speed test in the store as well

do a benchmark test as well.

It is too late for me to change to Skyrocket so I say OGGSII is better :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cfaberlle:
Enough said /thread.

+1 I think the GS2 is better, just go to the development section and see the support already from the devs :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hrishi2das:
This is the exact question facing me. I am in a Non-LTE area.

From the data I have seen, Both phones have advantages and disadvantages. The OGSII has better performance, FM. The Skyrocket has Better GPS, Network Speed (In Non LTE areas, APN related ??)

None of the reviews seem to address whether the Skyrocket battery is better or worse than the OGSII. Also another thing in question is how is the radio, voice signal , data signal in marginal signal areas.

Can any one elaborate if there is any existing info on these.. ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jadefalkon:
I made the mistake of returning my I777 for the Skyrocket. It was a pain but I'm back with the original galaxy S2. I could deal with the other draw backs of the skyrocket, but it does have major connectivity issues in a non LTE area. The Speedtest app took me 16 minutes to download.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cliff p:
Real world testing and data comparisons show very little difference between the snapdragon S3 and the Samsung E* processor. Granted it runs at 1.5GHz (max of course) compared to the 1.2GHz (max), I still think it's worthwhile especially since I'm in an LTE area.

I'm going to go trade in my SGS2 tomorrow. YMMV, obviously.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cliff p:
You can't compare an HTC phone that doesn't even make use of TW 4.0... So what if it has the same processor? Does it utilize the same system ram, the same software interface, etc.? Not trying to be rude, just stating my opinion. If you're going to compare apples to apples, do it with the Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket, not an HTC phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hrishi2das:
The HTC phone looks bad in the video, I am trying to understand if the Skyrocket will behave the same, Without the Htc sense overlay, and with a faster clocked snapdragon 1.2Ghz->1.5Ghz processor compared to the Sensation.

The radio problems with the Vivid and Skyrocket are in HSPA (3G) areas. They can drop to EDGE speed or lose data completely. If you're in an LTE area and don't travel it's not a problem. A co-worker with a Skyrocket just got back from a multi-state trip and got EDGE speeds in 3G areas. AT&T’s supposedly working on a fix. Here's a link to the discussion in the Vivid forum. That they're both experiencing similar radio issues isn't surprising considering they're both using similar Qualcomm chips.

Loved my gs2. Really did. I work with all the carriers so I always have envy of the larger screen on the sprint gs2. Zero complaints about the gs2.

My area should have lte in a couple months. I prefer the larger screen. I've have zero connectivity issues. My h+ is faster with my skyrocket somehow. Zero lag. Screen looks just as great.

It comes down to preference but do not let someone tell you the skyrocket is less of a quality choice or that it's slow and the screen is garbage. Benchmarks mean nothing. In real life I've noticed zero difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmunjal:
I read the Vivid posts and it sounds like a network or APN problem, not a device issue. I went from an i9100 to the SR and it's faster on HSPA+ everywhere. I have noticed issues with the pta APN. I switch to phone it works fine.

I had to remove the battery and it all came back to normal till one time when it got stuck on the HTC logo and wont go any further then that. I have tried to run PC10IMG from Hboot on it but its says that Main Version Is older! I have also tried to delete the hboot.n00 file from PC10IMG boot and reziped it but it didnt worked. I have tried to go into recovery and did a full date wipe on it but with no result. In other words I have tried all the options to recover it using my sd card and it didnt work.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
You could try either a factory reset, or flash a newer PC10IMG

The PC10IMG's are signed, and seeing as you are S-ON, your phone will run a signature check, so you cannot modify the the zip at all, or it will fail.
