I have the stock Samsung Galaxy Nexus. AT&T Store put in a new Sim card. I kept my grandfathered data plan. I used Speedtest to check download speeds to confirm my observations.

Using wireless at home, I am getting about 11Mbps download speeds.

With cell phone connection at work or on the road or at the A&T Store - I am getting about 7kbps download speeds.

I went to the AT&T Store. They say there is nothing wrong with my data plan or AT&T linking. The APNs are right. I am on the high speed (HSPA+) network.

I am think that the wireless radio is different from the cell phone radio. If so, then the wireless radio is working right, and maybe the cell phone radio is not? Does this make sense? Is anyone else had this problem and found a solution?:mad:

Thanks in advance,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Unless your wireless internet in your house is from a tethered/hotspot device or some sort of "mifi" (does AT&T have these yet?), it will certainly be faster than your cellular connection. That is a function of the backhaul behind your internet connection at home versus the backhaul to the towers your phone is connecting to outside of your home. And even with those towers, each one may have a different load and different server access, and so speed will vary between towers, or even the same tower throughout the day. The wifi radio and cellular radio are separate in the phone, and the difference in speed you are seeing is a difference in the signal delivered to the phone, not the phone's ability to receive signals.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt-Helm:
I live in Shaker and i'm getting 5mb/1.5 most of the time. When i head downtown my speeds drop by 2/3.

I'm using the suggested APN settings from this forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wrayrb:
Thanks for the info.

The rep at the AT&T Store using his iPhone had 8Mbps download speed. Many of the posts here on the forums are reporting cell radio download speeds of 3-8 Mbps.

I realize that download speeds over the cell radio can vary, but when they never go above 7kbps, that suggests the cell radio is defective.

I guess I have to try to exchange the phone, if Expansys will help me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Maybe it's defective. Try comparing it to AT&T's Galaxy S II (not the skyrocket!), or the Atrix, or any other HSPA+ Android (should have similar kernel when stock) device in the same location (the iPhone probably routs more power to its antennae since it has a battery-life surplus due to a smaller screen and lack of true multi-tasking/background processing).

My speeds have been dead on with what my Atrix got.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
redo your apn's, make sure you're using auto or USA bands and try wcdma only temporarily. In the *#*#4636#*#* menu. The apns I think are under call settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wrayrb:
Well I called AT&T Support. I finally got to 2nd level support. The tech their checked. He finally said there does not appear to be anything wrong with the phone. He said my unlimited data plan (grandfathered from 8 years ago) was the data plan for a feature phone. He asked what I had previous, and I told him an AT&T Tilt, which I ordered with the Media Max 200 Bundle.

He must have scratched his head, but said that the data plan I had did not support smartphones (huhh?), but he could upgrade my data plan to a smartphone plan for an extra $10. I asked about my grandfathered unlimited data, and he said the new smartphone plan would still be unlimited. (GREAT!) And no new contract!

He had me change the APN to the HSDPA one. Then he had me reboot the phone and check speedtest. My download speed was now up to an incredible 1.2Mbps, lots better than 7kbps. So I can live with that. I am not sure why i can't get the 3-5Mbps that others talk about, but this'll do.

Thanks for code reveal, very useful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jesseownzzz:
The reps are doing something weird trust me (At&t rep here). They're either putting the wrong plan or your device may be defective. If you have unlimited you got to have a 30$ feature called SMT PERSONAL. If its the 2gb plan it should be 2gb for smart phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
lol at incredible 1.2 mbps. Check your speed at 2am when its not peak and tell us. Either you're in congested area or something else is wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wrayrb:
I did get an $30 smartphone unlimited plan (old one was $20.). Is "SMT PERSONAL" some add on feature in addition to Smartphone Unlimited Plan?

Thanks for all the feedback. I have a callback scheduled Mon at work when I'll have a better connection. Data from home generally sucks anyway
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MamomaN:
I have a very important question about the battery life

i need every extra hour while am using my phone heavily

any one tested a good rom in the Continuous heavy using ?

any rom and kerenal , original or cooked .. it doesn't matter

i mean look at this photo :

this photo with my current I9100JPKJ2 2.3.5 + siyah last kernel

the battery dead just in 3 hours of heavy using , it was :

" 3G always on + twitter app always on + some camera "

and everything else was off and automatic brightness and disabled fast Dormancy

and that what happened , it dead in just 3 hours !

so please tell me what the same conditions with your experiment

how long it lasts ?

how many hours it gives me with this using ?

i was about using TurkbeyRom , but i asked first maybe there's better one

any ideas ?

CheckROM v4 is very good.. Even with default settings...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFaixy:
how much screen on time? i got about 6hours max
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudferret:
I'm guessing you have a metric ass load of apps running/syncing and draining your battery whilst your phone is awake. If I keep my screen on time to ~4 hours I can get 3+ days (approaching 4) of life out of a single charge: Wifi on most of the time, data off when in Wifi range, sync off, every thing that requires syncing I've set to 1 hour intervals. I weeded out battery draining apps some time ago using Better Battery Stats. Your phone is asleep when your screen is off however, so that's good. BBS might help you narrow down processes but these may not show up under Partial Wakelocks.

I am on an extremely tiny ROM however and the same can't be expected of a stock or modified Samsung ROM. Disabling fast dormancy can drain battery depending on if your provider supports fast dormancy or not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hooozy:
which rom and kernel do you use mate ? i have screen on for 3 hours and my phone wont even last for a day
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MamomaN:
so , any suggestions or stay at my current thing ?

nowadays i have a serious issue in my country

it requires a lot of hours outside my home using twitter and facebook and some camera

every single extra hour is needed !

tried everything , sync is off , automatic brightness , etc

so , time to give up ? :(

Insanity 56 + it's stock kernel. It's based off CM7 (7.2RC0 I believe), but slimmed down to 47MB.

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

If you want to use Twitter and Facebook apps you'll have to accept that battery life is going to suffer a ton. Good battery life isn't a holy grail or unattainable by any means, it's all in the apps and settings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MamomaN:
yes i know

but as you see , must people already confused me :o

some says it normal , and some says something wrong !! O.o

i know it's normal when we talk about heavy " hardcore " using :D

but i have some hope that i can find any solution gives me extra little hours

every hour needed really in my case !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudferret:
It's not a great battery profile, but it could be explained easily by screen on time and lots of apps running in the background. I guess it's a matter of figuring out which app(s) are responsible and deciding which you can live without to at least make it through the day without being at the mercy of the nearest electrical outlet. I find I can easily make the battery suck on this phone; nature of the beast.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MamomaN:
yup i know .. but i am very confused because people keep telling me something is wrong !

some people said they got 10 hours with heavy using like mine !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzmtl:
Not everyone's idea of heavy use is the same, no way battery will last 10 hours with screen almost alwasy on.

Maybe you should look into an extended or spare battery instead.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
No, your battery graph is normal. Every Rom, every kernel will show this result with the usage you have, don't let people fool you otherwise.

No, impossible. You can only have around 10 hours of screen-on time while doing *nothing*, I've also accomplished that once:

While on other occasions it will look like this:

So all that BS that Rom X with kernel Y will magically improve your number of hours: no. Only thing that matters is: what's running in the background, what's being displayed on the screen (dark or light images) and if you're using lots of bandwidth.

Browsing the internet while displaying a light screen: max screen-on time of around 4 hours (so: battery will be dead in around 4 hours as well). Using the phone otherwise while displaying dark content: maybe 5 hours screen-on time or more.

All that "I have X hours of screen-on time with heavy usage!" where X>5 hours is complete B.S.

Thanx a lot , now it makes seance

ok , what about new batteries that samsung made recently

i heard that there's some improved batteries last longer than the stock one

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
I'd think more about grabbing a bigger capacity battery or more batteries so you can swap over to a fully charged one when you need to.

I agree with eliminating unwanted battery drain but I don't agree with not using apps we want to use.

We have an awesome phone. Enjoy it. Use what apps you want as much as you want. So you have to take 2 minutes out of your day to swap a battery who cares. Better that than having to use it like an old Nokia.

ICS is not even built by Samsung yet .

I would wipe phone install stock rom .

Run as a barebones for a few weeks .

My battery lasts anything from a day to four days depending upon usage .

Real friends and a real life will help your battery drain as you can do so much more than use Twitter and Facebook every second of the day .Even if you are leading the revolution .

Sorry for late reply, I got the white extended official Samsung battery, and it's very good! I can feel the extra life, even if it's only ~300mA more, and it just lowers my stress about whether my phone will see me through the day or not. Also, it means I can keep my "old" battery in my wallet, so I can switch in emergencies.

Hello all!! I'm using the latest CheckROM with cf-root kernel... I'd like to know some opinions with this rom and siyah kernel 2.4.1... How is the battery life? Is it stable? What is the bln mod in the kitchen pro app?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnarfsan:
I am using that combination. The Battery life is good and my phone has been stable so far and also incredibly smooth. The only issue is that the kitchen app doesn't install modifications automatically with clockwork recovery 5 so you would have to flash them manually after downloading them.

BLN is a service that can make your white capacitive buttons light up in various ways to notify you about incoming messages, missed calls etc.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodyshyt:
Siyah kernel works great with check ROM. Pretty stable and the battery life is great. But frankly speaking the differences if any are negligible. They are more of placebo. I currently use Siyah for MIUI only for the undervolting and bln support.

Since I have installed the MIUI version of December (1.12.2 and 1.12.9), the usb storage doesn't work.. when I plug the usb cable to a pc (tried on Windows and Mac, but still have same issue) the system never mounts the sd, and the phone never asks me to do that. (even if the charge on usb is enabled, it doesn't work; but when I plug to a AC adapter I have no problem)

May I have my Usb storage working again? Help me guys :o

I had the same issue, and sometimes when I tried to mount the SD card it would freeze and I would have to pull the battery. I succeeded to mount the internal sd storage only, but it didn't mount both int and ext memory :/ But i'm back on stock now, getting annoyed with all these little annoying problems on custom ROMs.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] madsc13n41s4:
Alright, I have searched, and searched, and attempted, searched some more, tried a bunch of .apk's I've found from various threads, and nothing... Here's what I've concluded: (tell me if I'm right)

Any AOSP contacts.apk from any other ROM or CM6 will not work on the SK4G. I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that AOSP contacts.apk also handles the call log functionality (just a guess)?

So what I have to work with is the Touchwiz contacts.apk that someone (can't find who to credit) has themed AOSP. The problem here is that it has a -very- annoying bug: You can open it directly and it looks fine (see image 1), but then sometimes you can hit the back button and it looses the theme (see image 2), or you can open it through the dialer (phone.apk?) and it just doesn't have the theme at all. This is Very Annoying for me, looking to throw together a true-AOSP UI.

Flawless themes (can't spell "themeing") such as the dialertabactivity.apk, that works for all intents and purposes (even though it's not real) works for me, but I've now spent 2 days researching and trying to find a different .apk and I can't... Any suggestions? Any devs able to fix this? Anyone able to explain why the SK4G is SOO dependent on Touchwiz? I'm in no way a dev, I'm just a modder. This is pretty much just personal use for now, i figure I'd have to do something really epic for me to try to put out another rom.

It occurred to me that sometimes, mostly when the battery charge is around 30%, the soft keys start to blink and then their light goes off, even if the screen is on. This doesn't happen always of course, and I guess it may be a kind of bug rather than a serious problem.

Does anyone else have a similar issue?

Everyone should say which android OS they are running.

A game that was compatible with a GB ROM on flyer will not automatically work on HC. For HC vs GB.. if its not compatible with the Acer A100 , its probably not going to work on the Flyer HC either. That's a developer issue, nothing HTC can do about it.

may b even acer iconia a100 apps will also crash....coz f dual core factor.....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Some games are writing specifically for the Tegra , but there is no reason to require that other than developer choice. Many games use hardware, kernel or OS specific hacks to improve performance , but that causes them to be incompatible with other devices or other Android versions.
