[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Omega doesn't have any CSC information for Straight Talk or ATT, so they turned it over to your SIM card and how your carrier registers it. So I don't know if FD is open or closed, most likely closed for you.
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
Here's Omega 6.0 for me out of the box. I think the wakelock for Fast Dormancy SHOULD be there if you're in an area that uses it and you have it on. However, it shouldn't hold a constant wakelock. Here, you can see that after 4 hours, I only have a 4 minute wakelock from secril_fd-interface. I didn't change anything; just flashed the ROM (ignore the USB stuff on top, I'm charging my phone through my computer so I don't care about those wakelocks):

If I let my phone sit for 5 minutes, even with the wakelocks I don't lose any battery. I'd probably lose 3% or less in an hour (guessing). If anything, if my battery life is great already, I won't bother enabling it since it seems to vary from location to location. However if there's any place AT&T would have it enabled, it's definitely NYC because of the notorious network congestion.
[Galaxy S III General] tsangwc:
I have used the modified nwk file I made according to the Straight Talk APN setting. So far the phone is 11H53M1S on battery and I have 31M47S "secril_fd-interface". Is this normal?
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
No it is not at all. The OP hasn't been updated for awhile. But please read throught he last 2 pages for more information.

You might need to turn fast dormancy off or copy over the ATT NWK files I posted earlier.
[Galaxy S III General] komugi:
Agreed. I have idled for about 8 hours. I got around 13 minutes. Drain with no wifi and complete idle is around 1.4% Ish
[Galaxy S III General] jerdog:
So what exactly are your settings? ROM, Kernel, NWK, etc.?
[Galaxy S III General] Pitnefor:
How do you do this?

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

I inputed these APN Settings but I'm not getting any connection. I have full bars but no 2g, 3g, H+ symbols and I cant use data
[Galaxy S III General] jerdog:
Check that Use Packet Data is selected in Network Settings
[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
Using DXLEA all day. It's good. Seems a bit slower than XXLE8 but battery friendly.
[Galaxy S III General] komugi:
If you have a actual AT&T Dataplan, you will need to ask them to activate the 4G Smartphone plan before you are able to use the AT&T PTN APN.

Sometimes the reps will give you the run around saying that you absolutely need to buy a 4G device from them before they can add it, hang up and try another rep.

Wanam Deodexed LF6 w/ CF-root kernel and LF2 modem. I'm using the nwk_info pulled from the stock AT&T phone at the moment. But my old nwk_info was completely blank to begin with.
[Galaxy S III General] Locky Loki:
Will all these be deleted once I flash new ROMs WITHOUT full wipe?
[Galaxy S III General] Pitnefor:
Guy I called first said i was already on the 4G data plan. I just signed up for ATT service a little while ago when this phone came out. I have the international version in US california central valley.

is there a way I can find out if im on the 4g data plan myself?
[Galaxy S III General] komugi:
Maybe you can check your dataplan on the website. I'm not sure if it specifies 3G or 4G though.

Here is my battery usage: 9 hours idle/no sync/no wifi/cell only w/ 3G -- dropped 10%, which translates to ~1.11% per hour. I do have 9 minutes of secril_fd-interface, but I don't think it's causing any drain, or if it is, minimal.

[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Having Secure_FD isn't a totally bad thing. It's bad when you see that it's like 6 hours. But if it's small amounts of wakelocks it's because it's doing its job. When an app syncs when the phone was asleep, the FD is just forcing it from HSPA+ to HSPA right after the app does what it needs to do and then it goes into deep sleep shortly after.

So those split seconds are just FD doing its job. Now if it were 6 or more hours like I had before, then that means something is wrong and it's turning it on and off and on and off.
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
Wow, completely missed my own thread, thanks for the heads up SlimJ87D.

It's good that you found that FastDormancy is indeed enabled but is set to be disabled when screen is on (lcdonfdtime) and is enabled when screen is off (lcdofffdtime). The logic makes sense... disabled FD when screen is on to maximize throughput/performance, but you definitely want it enabled when screen is off to maximize battery life.

Funny and crazy part is, I've actually been running this setup (0-20 for lcdon-lcdoff) for the past week or so with very good results. Will update the original post accordingly, thanks for all the investigative effort guys!
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
So your 20 means that it's turning off H+ in 20 seconds after you turn the screen off?
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
My HSPA+ goes down to H once I stop using data, even with the screen on. This was the out-of-the-box behavior for me and also on Omega ROM which uses a EUR (Europe) CSC file. Out of the box the phone was from Vodafone Germany (had a couple of Vodafone apps on it and it came with a German manual, but it was unlocked). I tried the AT&T nwk_info.db the other day, but it didn't change anything so I switched back to the other one.

It might vary from region to region; I'm in NYC so I'm assuming AT&T definitely has FD on here to combat network congestion.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
If there is no information then the phone leaves it up to your SIM card and carrier to send the information. So you're just running whatever straight talk has set up.
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
Yes, 20 seconds FastDormancy intervals when screen is off. 3-5 seconds still seems a bit too crazy for me.
[Galaxy S III General] dieselfatal:
Guys..does anyone know why all of a sudden i cant connect to anything and use data..?

I got galaxy s3 few days ago with att goplan $50 everything unlimited including data...everything was working fine up until this morning...in the notification bar it shows acruve data. It displays H and switches to H+ sometimes it shows 3G as well. These chances btw H/H+ and 3G happen often. I didnt touch anything. Basically just popped ATT sim card and everything was working petfectly. Please help :(((
[Galaxy S III General] jerdog:
have you cycled Airplane mode?
[Galaxy S III General] jcrompton:
Be sure that under Settings > Wireless and Network > More Settings > Mobile Networks , that Use packet data is checked. Maybe it somehow inadvertently got turned off ??
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
Hijacking other people's threads with a dupe is not very nice.

Here's the original: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1736238
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Is it intervals or is it the time to just shut H+ off? Like 5 seconds after you turn the screen off it shuts H+ off. Or do you mean every 5 seconds it will shut it on and off. Because when I had it at 60 is when I had that crazy Kernel drain for some reason.
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
I'm almost 100% sure it's polling intervals. That was one of the biggest issues with the SGS2 initially, it was constantly polling FD.
[Galaxy S III General] dieselfatal:
Its checked on..
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
So what advantages and disadvantages do you see with ATT putting 0 and 3 (I thought it was 5 but it's 3) as their values? That seems a little strange doesn't it since other people are putting 60 and 60?
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
Yeah, I don't understand such low intervals of polling at all. Even the stock nwk_info file from the UK has 5/5 as default for their carriers whereas AT&T has 0/3 based on the one you uploaded.

At some point, I'm thinking people are just making **** up, but who knows. 0/20 seems to be working well for me, but given it looks like FD support is region specific, the best advice would be to try various combinations yourself to see what works best.
[Galaxy S III General] locoboi187:
Can the OP update the thread with the latest news if any? :) like if we need certain files from the ATT version that I read here?
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
Already did. AT&T nwk_info.db has 0/3 for lcdonfd/lcdofffd and dormancy "on." I'm just running 0/20 instead.

(It was at 60/60 dormancy "on" before.)
[Galaxy S III General] komugi:
That seems to way that you are on 3G data plan. If you have 4g one you should be accessing under pta. Under your account you should see something like lte etc. I will post screenshot in a little bit. Posting from iPad right now

Edit:

You should have something that says LTE data -- for me it's LTE Unlimited with Visual Voice Mail
[Galaxy S III General] ExTREmE99:
i may be in the minority here, but what would i fix fast dormancy if i actually have access to the PHONE APN? im on the smartphone unlimited plan (yes i know i can go down to the 10 dollar plan, but id rather not lose the holy smartphone unlimited plan if i were to ever go back to an at&t branded phone)

im only getting 2-3mbps MAX currently on the PHONE APN, and would loooove 5mbps. i'd even donate a little something to anyone willing to help ;)
[Galaxy S III General] jerdog:
Confused here I think... Don't we all have access to the Phone APN? What we're fixing here is adding the specific network capabilities to the network db file that doesn't exist on international phones. Just having the APN won't work.
[Galaxy S III General] ExTREmE99:
no, you should only have access to phone if you are on a smartphone data plan. otherwise you're on a medianet "wap.cingular" APN. correct me if im wrong someone

in the OP we have:

[Galaxy S III General] normallywho:
I've been following this thread trying to work out what I should do. I have the I9300 and I'm using the Omega 7.0 ROM. While the phone does seem to be using HSPA+, the data download rate seems capped around 1mbps and the upload doesn't get above 0.08mbps. The only thing I've tried so far is to drop in the nwk_info.db that was posted, but that seemed to have no effect. My previous phone was a Captivate and while I never ran Speedtest on that, it felt just as slow as the SGS3 does now. I'm in the Northern VA area where I expect the network to be fairly decent and my reception is almost always excellent.

What I'm wondering is whether this is something being capped by AT&T (and therefore I need to call them) or if it's something I should be able to address on my end. Looking at my account information, AT&T has it listed as:

Smartphone Bundle without Messaging

Data Unlimited for Smartphone Personal

TIA.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Drop the one I added awhile back, download the fast dormancy app just in case you need to shut it off as it can cause wake locks, and give DXLEA modem a try.

Any of these or all of them could improve your internet speed.
[Galaxy S III General] normallywho:
Thanks for the suggestions. I've installed the fast dormancy app and tried toggling either way with no speed improvements. I haven't given it enough time to find out if it has an impact on battery life. I believe the DXLEA modem is included in the Omega ROM.

I'll try a speedtest from the office tomorrow to see if it's a geographic issue, but other than that, I'm running out of ideas.
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
Where did you get the app?
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Check if DXLEA is running. Omega only installs it form a "full wipe" I think, not upgrade. Not sure.
[Galaxy S III General] normallywho:
It's listing the baseband as LE6. I haven't been able to track down what that translates to.

I can now say from the office my speed is a little better with 1.9mbps download and about 0.93 upload. Still not nearly what I would expect.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
You are not running DXLEA then. I highly recommend that modem for the US.
[Galaxy S III General] normallywho:
Thanks for the help Slim. After getting DXLEA flashed the first test came out about half the speed of previous tests, but subsequent tests were around 3mbps down and 1mbps up. It's not great, but it is much better than I had and part of that may be the servers Speedtest is trying to connect to.

Getting back on topic, was there a solid recommendation with regards to fast dormancy? I think right now it's disabled and it seemed like that was the direction most folks were moving toward. Is it actually an issue of, "if fast dormancy is available in your area you should turn it on?"

Per the recommendation that I drop the version of db attached to this thread, I went back to the version of the db that came with the phone. Noting of course, there's no entry for Cingular in that db, I assume it's configuring off the SIM? If that's true, does flipping fast dormancy through the app have any effect on those settings?
[Galaxy S III General] komugi:
The recommendation is turn it on first, see if you get a lot of fd wake locks, if you do, turn it off. By a lot I mean hours. A few minutes (get around 13 minutes after 9 hours standby) is normal. FD seems to depend a lot in your area. In New England area so far, FD seems to be enabled.
[Galaxy S III General] Sango2:
So if it's flipping between HSPA+, HSPA and 3G what my S3 is doing, I guess that means it's fast dormancy is on and working for my area?

On a different note. Using Fido on my Galaxy Nexus in Canada, I my phone mainly sticks on 3G (UMTS:3) and switches to HSPA+:15 only when there is data transfer going, then switches back to 3G once data transfer stops. Seems like fast dormancy implementation is working differently with them.
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
Yes that means fast dormancy is on. There's an app to toggle it on and off in the market. Mine works the same except it goes down to H instead of 3G.
[Galaxy S III General] kobexu:
I have an international GS3 on AT&T's $50 unlimited gophone plan and have no Internet access, would this fix my problem?

I know at&t has a way to block smartphones via imei but they can't recognize my phone since it's unlocked. I'm going to give this a try. Thanks for the post.
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
Did you set up the right APN? Data should work whether or not FD is on; it would just be faster if the network supports it and it's on.
[Galaxy S III General] kobexu:
I kept the default apn settings but I have checked with other posts here and don't see any difference. Please see attached screenshot.
[Galaxy S III General] graffixnyc:
So when I have FD off I notice my battery drains pretty quickly and in the past 10 hours(mostly idle) that my phone has been on I've had that secril wakelock for 22 minutes or a little over 3%(on DXLEA). Yesterday in a full charge I had close to 2 hours in secril wake lock (on LF2 modem)

I'm not on media net. I use the phone apn and one for mms.

Here is my db file

[Galaxy S III General] jerdog:
I am having my best luck on the LFB modem. Both when I was on stock and then CM9 and now CM10
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
LFB drain characteristic is completely different from the previous releases it seems. LFB holds the upper percentages much longer (100-80%), but seems to drain through the lower ones much faster. The previous modems dropped below 80% relatively quickly, but once it hit the midrange, it held the charge much better.

I'm starting to think the only difference is in how the charge is being reported.

[Galaxy S III General] bricky23:
What settings, modem, fast dormancy, speeds are you using/ getting? Using LBF modem here. No other special settings, get around 3mb.
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
I get around that speed in most cases but I'm in NYC which is heavily populated as you know. Sometimes I hit above but I've never gone above 5. LF3 modem. I filled in all the APN info except from the proxy fields (MMS proxy yes) because they can throttle you if you do. Fd should be on (an automatically is) because AT&T supports it in most areas. But if you're an area that doesn't you may experience high wake locks.
[Galaxy S III General] Zabalba:
Would anyone have any insight as to why sometimes the connection cycles down to 3G? I understand when FD is properly working I should see my connection from H+ to just H after the request for data is finished. But sometimes my data connection goes to 3G and there is a noticeable latency until it reconnects with H or H+. I realize this might be something else unrelated to FD but I was wondering if anyone else in this thread notices this kind of behavior.
[Galaxy S III General] fredless:
looking in the wrong place?

Maybe I missed something in this post, but when I open nwk_info.db the carriers and carriers and dormpolicy tables are empty?

Hello,

I am wondering if there is an equivalent on a CDMA networks of taking out the SIM card on a GSM network. I need to completely disable my phone for two months without utilizing airplane mode of any software driven solutions. Is it possible to disconnect my phone from my sprint plan for a while?

Thanks,

I've been reading around and trying to get my head around how to get this going but felt I should just ask. I want to put Dynamics 7 on my phone but I don't know where to start? Could somebody help me out? Thanks for at least reading.
[HTC Titan] AndyFZ1S:
I take it you have a Titan? You really will need to study up on flashing before attempting to do anything to your phone, HSPL will be the first thing to consider and then you will probably need to use the Gold-Card method to successfully flash your chosen ROM,

HSPL Thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1684912

Best of luck :)
[HTC Titan] Cloudsdabomb:
I'm trying hspl and its not working on ruu. It cant get a connections why is that?

Also: I found these intstructions somewhere else. Is it safe to follow?

1) Turn off your HTC Titan.

2) Turn on your HTC Titan, enter SPL mode by doing so.

3) Unrar the compressed file DFT__HSPL_WP7SG1.rar

4) Go into DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1\1_SPL205\TITAN\ inside the directory where you extracted the file DFT__HSPL_WP7SG1.rar

5) Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe

6) Wait till the precedure finish to install SPL (0% -> 100%)

7) At the end of the procedure the device will reboot.

8 ) Enter SPL mode, or turn the device off and enter SPL mode again if you didn't make it in time.

9) Go into DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1\2_HSPL\

10) Run SFT_HSPL_WP7SG1_INSTALL.exe

11) Install HSPL following the istructions on screen.

12) At the end of the procedure the device will reboot.

13) Enter SPL mode, or turn the device off and enter SPL mode again if you didn't make it in time.

14) This time you should be able to read HSPL2.5.160015.3 and CotullaH at the top of the SPL screen

15) Unrar the compressed file DFT Eternity 24 langs Freedom V1 Pearl Edition.7z

16) Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe

17) Wait till the precedure finish to install the custom rom (0% -> 100% , it will be slower this time)

18) At the end of the procedure the device will reboot.
[HTC Titan] AndyFZ1S:
Personally I would stick with the information you find on this site, Many happy custom ROM users out there will agree, Read first, Understand, Then attempt if you are 100% sure, Otherwise you will be asking how to un-brick your phone.
[HTC Titan] Cloudsdabomb:
I understand, then quick question on RUU am i doing task 28 or 00? It's not giving me a country error it just says my phone is not connected.
[HTC Titan] AndyFZ1S:
Sounds like you are using the Advanced ROM Update Utility? Are you sure this is the method recommended for flashing your chosen ROM or HSPL even? Read the HSPL thread and it says if you cannot establish a connection then use the Gold Card method, Think you need to do a bit more reading.
[HTC Titan] Cloudsdabomb:
I asked because it says " If flash fails with error "Country ID error" you should use gold card to flash. Im not getting that error. just no connection.

Edit: when i put in spl mode it connects then goes to 4% then give me error 294. is that the Country Id?
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
Before you do anything else, do you have a USA AT&T Titan or EUR Titan? This is very important
[HTC Titan] Cloudsdabomb:
It's a USA I just read about having to gold card US ones. Already ordered everything :) just wish I didnt have to go through all this trouble.
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
What have you done so far? I guess since you "have ordered your stuff", nothing yet. If that's the case, make your gold card with the EUR 2.5 ROM (get it from here) and before you do anything else, flash using the gold card method with this ROM.

That will de-brand your Titan (meaning take it away from AT&T's clutches!). Supposedly, if you have a USA AT&T Titan you must do this first or be stuck like the rest of us with 2.5 SPL and no HSPL and no way of getting a custom ROM on our device until this $#!7 is fixed.
[HTC Titan] Cloudsdabomb:
thanks so much! Yeah ill try it haha.
