Same reception problem

I have the same reception problem in Morocco since last update, sometimes i need to disable WCDMA in network options to solve the issue :mad:
[Xperia Arc General] shtreber:
yeah, i had one night this issue, 70% of battery drained to 5-6% wlan on, sync on. i think 7-8 hours.

and this day, 40 mins internet on with sync, mp3 1 hr headphone.

and batt. temperature 40°C and phone was hot.

10 min display on. and i havent run any app except fb and browser.
[Xperia Arc General] wiv678:
Try .368

I had this on both .42 and .58. Reception was terrible.

Have "down-graded" to .368 and I have perfect reception everywhere.

Whereas before I'd stopped using my phone for anything that required Data. Now am bock on Facebook and Twitter with avengance!

Its like a new phone.

Hope this helps others...

I am facing a similar issue with my ARC. When I make a call or pick up a call, I see a status on top of the screen as "Emergency Call Only" and the network signal goes down with a red cross mark.

In few seconds, the network signal comes back to full strenght. But any incoming calls at this point of time gets diverted to my voice mail... Any fix for this? I am on 4.0.2.A.0.42.

Anyone has a fix for this?

[Xperia Arc General] diabolnik:
I have the same problem, losing signal when the display is off. Also, everyday the clock is 10 minutes out of sync(if I don't reset it, after 3 days it's 30 minutes); Is it related? I have tried flashing all the firmware available, from the first one to ICS version but it doesn't work. I suppose it's a hardware issue? This is why I need support even if I sent the phone in RMA three times. First time, they fixed the network circuitry without succeeding. Then there was nothing to fix! Problems are still there, in fact I lose signal every time I turn off the display. How is it possible? What information do they need to identify the problem?
[Xperia Arc General] jayman1986:
Send the phone in for warranty repair, it's their job to identify the problem not yours.

I'v tryed both ROM's out and have found that the latest versions of Cronos Ginger x seem to be faster and a little bit more than the latest CM 7 on the Hero but would like to know what you guys guys think about both. I know both have there bugs but to me Cronos Ginger x seems more pure AOSP than CM 7 does now and i like the fact that Cronos Ginger x seems to be doing its own thing more and more unlike other ROM's that build of CM 7.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ryanraven:
Cronos FTW

Cronos is way faster that CM7 amd is pretty much the same but a little more tweaks added :D go with Cronos i was running 2.4.0 but changed to Floyo because i'm too used to it :D

I've been tethering for a while now with my phone and I noticed that lately it seems like my internet stops working after a while. Sometimes it will let me download as much as 2GBs then it starts kicking me off minutes after I begin tethering.

Is Sprint able to see if I'm tethering now? I don't care to much either way I'm fine using my phone to download the things I need. It's just sometimes my downloads fail after reaching 100% so I like to use my PC more.

I have noticed that I've used 50GB this month :eek:.
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
So its because of people like you I get slow connections whenever I try to open any website on my phone if I can't use a wifi.

[Nexus S General] RushAOZ:
That's BS. Don't throw claims around no one knows are true. I tether and the other sprint 4g phones in my household don't take a hit in bandwidth. The amount of people that tether alot or a small minority compared to people that don't. Blame sprint for not giving you a good connection, not us. Anywho, back to this torrent... :)

[Nexus S General] Windst:
Sprint told me to root my phone and tether.

I don't think they check.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
actualy they can tell and torrent downloaders are so easy spot, and im pretty sure torrent downloading might be in the fine print somewhere.

Oh also your so cool bro replacing home internet with sprints weak 3g/4g service that does not have any net neatrilty laws lol you will be gone sooner or later
[Nexus S General] searchfirst:
I read recently sprint was pulling tethering apps from the market so they may be trying to weed out some in addition the recent 5GB cap on hotspot, i'm sure they are fine tuning their system to track data in different manners. Currently they cant even separate hotspot and phone data, that should serve interesting to how they implement overages.
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
Yeah. Eventually when all the unlimited plans are gone at least we'll know why.

Also, sprint can tell your tethering, they're just not actively doing anything about it yet. After all when you are on 3G or 4G you go through their IP gateway and they can control what you see and can tell what you're using to see it. The only way to prevent that would be through vpn and maybe some https but headers still have to go through clean.

P2P is probably the easiest to detect even if encrypted so good luck trying to get your number back after they close your account.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] searchfirst:
True, i would hope the systems are able to track it with all the tracking a smartphone is capable of especially just knowing the browser type they should be able to see who's tethering. I'm really curious to see how this plays out over the next year or two with data usage.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
No definitely you guys
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Actually they can
[Nexus S General] cteneyck:
Don't believe anyone who says they cannot tell if your tethering. All they have to do is check what the source and destination mac address using a program such as wireshark to sniff the IP of your phone.

Also don't believe anyone who says your phone is affecting their bandwidth. Bandwidth depends on signal strength and how much bandwidth they are using on their 3g 4g frequencies they use. Its different everywhere for every tower and has to do with the type of license they were able to obtain from the fcc for the tower you are using.

As far as your question regarding sprint killing your downloads, you would need to find a way to sniff you phone's 3g/4g connection to find out whats killing the packets. i would guess that its probably an issue with the connection(s) timing out for high ping times. i don't know if there is a way to manually adjust the ttl in android.
[Nexus S General] dowmace:
Guess what jackass not everyone has cable availability. I live in the county and I don't have cable, or DSL available. In fact as of this year I can no longer get a phone line to my home. The only options some of us have are satellite internet or tethering. :mad:
[Nexus S General] searchfirst:
They may be able to on a backend but sprint.com and their billing system doesn't show the difference. Currently if you call sprint and ask for your hotspots usage they cannot provide an answer.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
Yes but torenting is easy to spot due the way it downloads parts of bytes from different spots
[Nexus S General] chefdave12118:
Really????

[Nexus S General] obsanity:
There are means to tether when you have no options. I was pointing out the ops ignorant approach to data usage since he clearly has a different internet connection but still chooses to use the phone.

Keep your jackass to yourself.

[Nexus S General] dowmace:
You blamed him for your data speeds. If he is causing low data speeds, then how do the people legitimately tethering not effect your speeds?
[Nexus S General] method115:
I never said I have another internet connection. I said I could simply just download the files with my phone. I preferred to use my PC instead because I can avoid having to transfer files.

Thanks for the help everyone.
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
Sprint would accommodate for that. But because people abuse the otherwise would be fair use type of tether system, soon people such as yourself, who can't have any other access will be either limited to a ridiculous 5GB per month or not have the ability at all.

For people like myself who ocasonally use tether without tether plan (because of root access) to check some emails/web when stranded without wifi access, Sprint may disable that all together and we'll be forced to pay the $30 per month fee for the 1 or 2 times a year of 100-200MB of data used.

That's why I can't stand people abusing it. And for the op... if you truly do not have any other means of getting a wired data line, I hope you are at least paying for it even though it may no longer be unlimited.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] cteneyck:
Obsanity, Were I can definitely understand your frustration with sprints slow network (I feel the same way), Sprint advertises unlimited data on smartphones. regardless of him paying for tethering (which he should pay for), data is data, and its all 1's and 0's and therefor is a mute point. People that tether without paying for it are not cause of slow data, however they will be the cause of tiered data plans. Until that happens chill out and relax. If you have a signal , -60db or better, then call sprint and have them take a look at the tower. if they insist its your phone, have them replace it. if they won't look at the tower, thank them for their time and file a complaint with the fcc.
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
Yeah, I'm not in all complaining but just finding this post and seeing a guy who just went 50GB in one month on wireless cell tower is got me ticked off. I've done torrents but I don't think I crossed that much in a month on my cable connection. So much for me trying to use wifi to offload as much as I can.

And btw I don't complain about the slow data on my phone, that was more if a sarcasm note.

[Nexus S General] supercluver:
OP you said "...I never said I had another internet connection..." but that doesn't really clarify if a different one is available or not, and if one is what type?

If there isn't, then you live somewhere pretty remote and it is very unlikely you have 4G service. Given a typical Sprint 3G speed for a remote area of 600 kbps, 50 GB would take 7.9 days to download. That is 24 hour per day use for basically 8 days. If you actually only are using tethering for, say 12 hours per day then it would be of course 16 days. I just don't understand what the hell you could be doing for 12 hours straight a day for more than half the month on the internet.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Satellite is available anywhere
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
and with lightsquare wonts our 4g be satellite anyways
[Nexus S General] dowmace:
For an outrageous price and severe caps on bandwidth.
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
Sprint offers unlimited on cell phones. Not on computers. If you are tethering the computer is using the unlimited data not the phone. The reason sprint offers unlimited data is because phones typically will consume much less data than a computer in every day use. If more and more people are consuming computer like data that leaves less data for everyone else.
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
Thank you. That's my point that there IS a difference between wireless cell data and wired. At least for now until they upgrade all of those networks because I think eventually all wired lines will be out of business.

So who Here has actually had a account issue with sprint about tethering and/or torrenting? And are we talking the adopted hotspots under settings or a rooted market tethering app like wireless tether pdanet and barnacle.

I tether daily for 3-6 hours for web surfing, YouTube, Skype, and here and there torrent under a gig every few months.

My Gf is has a Droid charge on verizon, and tethers more than I do doing 25+ gigs. Hasnt been contacted yet or terminated. Her net cuts out a lot though .

And then my boss kinna att, which I was on too prior sprint we tethered 8+ hours a day at work watching videos downloading music and movies.

who gets ccaught, how, why, and do they get offered a 2nd chance?
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
Yeah, my post just above yours is a result of a friend of mine setting up her sister on a evo 4g with tethering. He told her to watch and not to use too much but she wanted to be cool. She goes up north almost every weekend where there is no cable access and shared her phone tether connection. About 3 months after that she lost her phone number because they terminated her account, she had to pay the $350 for early termination and they sent her a bill for over $1,800 for off plan tether usage.

She ended up paying all of it and she thought she would at least get her phone number back but they will not even activate a new account number for her. They said they start an investigation after an account reaches a predetermined limit to see if all data is actually phone data. They never said what that limit was but she had statistics app installed and she was pulling over 25gb per month.

So yeah, keep tethering.

That's a scary story, it like that one about not drinking enough water and I will get a Kidney stone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spawn_e_git:
Hi New to the Galaxy S2.

I brought a phone locked to T-Mobile and removed the SIM lock via a market app.

I then put a debranded firmware on the phone and everything worked OK except the Active Syn with my corporate exchange server.

The email would sync if I manually request it but when it was set to push or every 5, 10, 30 min etc. Nothing would happen.

I enabled While Roaming option and now all sync including Push works fine.

My Version is:

Sales Code XEU

Model Number GT-I9100

Andriod Ver: 2.3.4

Baseband Version: I9100XXKI1

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468 root@Dell143 #2

Build Number GINGERBREAD.XWKI4

Is this normal behavior? I've done lots of searching as to why push does not work with exchange but not found anything regarding this.

Could this be because my firmware is not 100% installed correctly and the phone thinks that the O2 sim card is a "abroad" network because somewhere in its mind it is still a T-Mobile phone?

Kindest regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr866gooner:
Not likely to be firmware that i can think of. It must be something to do with the previous t mobile lock and now it being used with o2 network. Have you tried contacting o2?

sent from t'internet
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spawn_e_git:
I've not contacted O2 because the phone is a corporate SIM so O2 will probably not deal with me as I'm not the assigned contact from the company.

I didn't want to use the cack Nokia E55 given to me so I bought this myself and everything seems OK except the roaming needing to be on.

Am I running the latest firmware? KIES says that I am but I noticed in was 2.3.4 and there is lots of chatter about 2.3.5.

Kindest regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr866gooner:
