I'm only getting one AT&T in that list. Not sure why you are seeing two unless you are picking up another AT&T tower.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Hmmmm, yeah it's weird... I am still picking up to. I'm in the LA county. Anyone else seeing the same?
[Galaxy S III General] jerdog:
I am on Straight Talk using one of their ATT Sims. Do I just use the settings they gave me for my APN in here?
[Galaxy S III General] daveop:
Just tried this. Speeds were ~4.5 down before the rest at my house, and about the same after. I will be keeping a close eye on battery usage and report back. I used the Zip file attached.
[Galaxy S III General] gadget069:
I'm in the same boat, gettng my S3 today.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] cc999:
I have an international unlocked 9100 and my wife has the store bought ATT SGS2.

Her stock setting from ATT had Fast Dormancy DISABLED.

ATT does NOT use Fast Dormancy period.

[Galaxy S III General] mcvigo:
how could I change this for my carrier CLARO ?
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
OH REALLY? I know your wife's SGS2 is the end-all-discussion-close-this-case-slam-dunk sorta thing, but:

http://www.research.att.com/export/sites/att_labs/techdocs/TD_100036.pdf

And if that's not enough, back from 2010, guess which network it's talking about when it mentions the iOS?:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/30/ios-4-2-supports-new-tech-to-reduce-network-congestion-nokia-si/

A little bit of advice that might help you along in life: Avoid using words like "period" and replace them with "I'm led to believe." Will make you look less douchey, especially if you're flat out wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] jerdog:
Ok - so if I am on Straight Talk, which is using AT&T, I should be able to use these AT&T settings right?
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
Under adb shell, run: getprop gsm.operator.numeric

If that returns 310410, then you're on the same carrier # and can use these settings.
[Galaxy S III General] jerdog:
Great help. I am so I have used the downloaded file and we'll see what results I get.
[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
Speed is not the issue. I get 3-6MBps usually down. The issue is high Cell Standby, sometimes 20-30% even after this fix. BetterBatteryStats show secril_fd-interface pretty high up there as well. Question: are you sure that "c. dormancy: on" should be on, not off? Because this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1086599 shows them setting it to off.

a. plmn: 310410

b. nwkname: Cingular 410

c. dormancy: on <----- or off??

d. mtu: 1500

(ALL OTHER FIELDS ARE BLANK.)

Anyways, still testing this.
[Galaxy S III General] komugi:
Would this fix only be for the AT&T MediaNet? Or could people with smartphone/iPhone plans use it?
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I switched to dxlea modem and it works like a charm. Also turned off Google back up.
[Galaxy S III General] jerdog:
Where are you located? Finding modems that work well in the US on international devices is a challenge

[Galaxy S III General] komugi:
Personally I find the DXLEA modem extremely slow for AT&T. Maybe I'll try it again now that I updated the settings.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I was in Vegas when I was giving it a try. And the XXLF5 one that everyone is trying was terrible there, it was crawling like a snail.

DXLEA worked better there.

I'm back in CA right now, just did a speed test for you. And it seems quite a bit better. In the valley where I was getting 800 kbps, now I am getting 3.3 mbps (3,305 kbps).

This is DXLEA with these dormancy settings.
[Galaxy S III General] BoostedSR20:
Just stumbled onto this thread, and looked at this before doing anything. I also have TWO AT&T listings. I haven't touched anything yet. I'm also on the medianet plan w/cingular APN.

So I chose the 2nd AT&T listing for giggles, and it told me that my sim card doesn't not allow me to connect to that network. :confused:

EDIT:

Forgot to mention, I've been on medianet for years, but recently switched to a 5gb 4G plan (when I got the HTC OneX) So I tried this phone with that plan, and the phone APN. I was still only getting 2-3mb down, and my ex with her SGSIII, and medianet was getting the SAME speeds. So I switched back to the $10 medianet plan. I haven't done any speed testing since....
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
It's strange, but I am getting crazy Kernel Wake Locks do to enabling fast dormancy.

How about you guys? It caused extreme battery drain last night. Went down like %25 overnight.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I know that Fast Dormancy works well with the iPhone, but I'm starting to believe that much like how the iPhone is on a different network APN (data plans for iPhones and Smartphones are separate), the Fast Dormancy might only be for them as well.

I guess we won't really know unless the ATT version of the Galaxy S3 has Dormancy enabled.
[Galaxy S III General] BoostedSR20:
My friend has one, (AT&T version) how can I get her to check?

Ok, other than the obvious, looking at the file, because she's not rooted...

Ok... I guess use ADB to grab the file, then look at it.. lol.. sorry I'm just posting to myself..
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
No that's awesome, we need your help bro. I am thinking ADB is the only way to grab that son of a ***** with the phone in developer mode. I hope you can help us all out. But as seen in my image above, the Kernal Wake of 6 hours is abnormal.

There's a chance we might have to adjust our values from 6 seconds to even hire or just turn it off completely.
[Galaxy S III General] BoostedSR20:
Ok.. Well she is a single mom/career woman, not *super* tech minded (she has this phone due to me, been using iPhones all her life) aaaaand her only PC is a MacBook. :eek: I'll see if I can make something happen over Skype tonight.

I haven't touched mine yet, till this is figured out, BUT mine is actually going back for RMA. I have a brand new one arriving tomorrow. I find it odd that I had both AT&T's listed, and I'm bone stock un touched. (I've been doing alot of hard resets)

EDIT:

Looks like 80% chance I'll see her tonight, so I can do this. I'll keep you updated.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Oh that sounds like too much work for you lol. Maybe we can get a hold of the stock ROM and dig into that. Sammobile firmwares usually carry stock ROMs for everything right?
[Galaxy S III General] BoostedSR20:
Well like I said, very good chance I'll see her tonight. If so, not a problem.
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
Disable it, probably not supported in your area.

I feel like fast dormancy is a hit or miss depending on location. Some places on the AT&T network might support it and some might not. Of course I'm not sure and there isn't much information about fast dormancy on the web in relation to AT&T.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Didn't you grab the official ATT Galaxy S III? Or are you using the HTC One X?

Either way, is there a chance you could supply us with some APN settings for either one?
[Galaxy S III General] BoostedSR20:
Anyone here super awesome with ADB? Care to give me the command line I would need to grab the file? (saving me tons of research time)

I never use ADB to get files, I'm always rooted. (root explorer)
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I'm sorry, but I think you need to be rooted as in the adb command shell you put in SU for superuser.

http://www.androidnz.net/2012/06/at-your-own-risk-how-to-disable-fast.html

Hold tight, maybe we can get help from either the stock Kernel or a user that has the ATT version.
[Galaxy S III General] BoostedSR20:
No, I would be doing it from the PC plugged in.... not on the phone itself..

EDIT:

I'll get it figured out...
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
From my memory, when I did adb commands that were trying to access root, it would pop up the super user on my phone when I typed in su on my computer.

Maybe I am wrong, as this was when the Captivate first came out. I hope for your success as it would help us all out. Thank you.

My guess is that the iPhone may have better APN implementation possibly even by region turning it off and on automatically. Just a guess though.
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
I'm still using my international one x....debating about an att sgs3 but not leaning towards it to save money.

I know the apn though. The sgs3 and one x on att use the PTA apn as default because of the LTE. Other phones are unable to access this apn. At least I couldn't trying thr galaxy nexus, one x, etc....seemed to restrict it.

I wouldn't worry much about it. I currently use the Phone apn but media net apn works better for some people based on location.

I'm in new York and have fast dormancy enabled. No excessive drain but everyone's different based on location.
[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
Well, after messing with it for some time, I FINALLY and ACTUALLY managed to disable fast dormacy on my i9300 S3 using ATT CSC files and the ATT PTA APN. secril_fd-interface doesn't even show it's face in BetterbatteryStats anymore! And data speeds seem more consistent and a bit faster. Woohoo! I am going to test it overnight and provide a detailed mod for you guys. No data wipe required! I expect to get up to 25% more battery now but we'll see by tomorrow. :)

First pic is before, second is after. Notice that secril_fd-interface is gone!
[Galaxy S III General] BoostedSR20:
Awesome!

Are we still interested in the settings from the AT&T SGS3? I'll have access to one here tonight...
[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
Can you pull out the /system/csc folder and zip it up and post it here? I used the one from the ATT Note. Should be the same but I'll check. Funny thing is that even the AT&T's 4G LTE Samsung devices still have a minimal amount of Fast Dormacy enabled even the network doesn't support it. Go figure.
[Galaxy S III General] BoostedSR20:
No problem. Her phone isn't rooted, so I'll have to use ADB from my PC. What's the command line? (I never push/pull files with ADB)
[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
Create a folder called CSC on your desktop and go there in a DOS prompt.

You should be able to just do a adb pull /system/csc/.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
How come you had to edit the CSC? Couldn't you just have edited the file in the zip and type in "off" instead of "on"?

And lastly, are you on ATT?
[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
I didn't have to edit the CSC. I simply put the AT&T's CSC files in the CSC folder and made the phone think it was going through initial Phone CSC set up so it can set up the proper AT&T APN and nwk_info.db. I tried with frustration editing the Cingular 410 entries with no good results. secril_fd-interface just wouldn't leave. I will work on getting the Cingular 410 Medianet APN working but for now, I only have it working with ATT PTA.
[Galaxy S III General] BoostedSR20:
Ok, I used my phone to figure out how to pull the CSC folder so I'll be ready when she gets here.

What else do you want off the phone? APN settings? The database file from the OP?
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I believe the files in the CSC folder will have all the APN settings in there, etc. Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S III General] BoostedSR20:
Ok then, I'll grab that and throw the .zip in my dropbox. No interest in the folder containing the database file from the OP?

I would say 9-9:30 ish...

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

Ok here it is...

When I did this on mine it was about 4.6mb worth of crap, several files and sub folders. On her phone its barely anything.

Let me know ASAP if this is what you need, or if you need anything else so I can do it before she leaves. :angel:

[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
For those using AT&T and the Cingular 410 APN, try this nwk_info.db file. This file has Fast Dormancy completely turned off. You will not see secril_fd-interface in BettterBatteryStats Kernel Wakelocks if you're using the Cingular 410 APN and it's set up properly. On another note, I have been testing with the ATT pta APN and I seem to be getting bettter speed, ping, and results.

Cingular 410:

Ping 140-155

DL: 1500-3100

UL: 512-1100

ATT pta:

ping 105-115

DL: 2500-4500

UL: 700-1100

My ROM: XXALF2

My Kernel: Stock CF-Root

My Modem: XXLE8 (seems to be best for me)

Any way, results may vary. Let me know how this one works for battery and speed.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Thank you very much! So the answer seems a little bit more confusing, there seems to be a few settings to turn FD on or off when in a area that supports it.

Is there a chance you can pull her nwk file from the same folder?
[Galaxy S III General] komugi:
Broken archive. Also isn't ATT PTA meant for LTE?
[Galaxy S III General] BoostedSR20:
I pulled the entire csc folder and put it in the zip.. ?
[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
I reupped it. Check my last post. AT&T PTA is for LTE and HSPA combined. That's why the phone still connects to the network when LTE is unavailable.

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

I think he wants the nwk file in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases. Can't get it if you're not rooted.
[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
This attached nwk_info.db has Cingular 410 and AT&T PTA in it. Both have Fast Dormancy completely disabled. You need to add the AT&T PTA APN and copy the extracted nwk_info.db to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases folder and make sure you set the correct permissions and owner. I like to wipe Dalvik cache and Battery Stats after this so I can better monitor results.

Use this at your own risk! Every device is different. Working well for me. :)

Guys, here's the SGS3 ATT version. I'm going to load these up and give them a try. I know they have LTE but lets just see what happens and if my phone can autodetect them.

Why 0 and 5? Why not 0 and 0?
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I'm not sure. It seems like they just want it to turn off and close it down and let you reanable it. Maybe that stops the wake lock since it keeps going on and off and on and off. Well I just dumped this guy in there. I'm goign to bed and checking out how by my drain is and goign to see my internet speeds.
[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
I see. Also, I looked at that nwk_info.db in the dropbox link and dormancy is still on. Just wanted to let you know. Are you seeing secril_fd-interface wakelocks? Anyways, I'm set to 0 and 0 with dormancy off. We can compare battery drain tomorrow! :)
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Yeah, after work, about 6 hours ago I disabled FD, and the SECRIL_FD seemed to be completely gone.

I can already seeing it creep up on my phone, even just leaving it for a second right now. I'm at %57 running DXLEA modem. Will report first thing when I get into work tomorrow at 7 PST.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Well I'm down to 41,but I used the phone for 20 minutes right now. But the drain wasn't as bad. Yep, those are all the settings needed for ATT in different regions to get fast dormancy to work everywhere.
[Galaxy S III General] komugi:
Did you set PTA as the main APN in the settings? Or is the settings still using the Cingular APN?
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Well so far I'm just testing normal Cingular 410. Will try the PTA APN settings. But the file I posted has all the plmn information for ATT, you will need that for your phone to connect to all the ATT stuff PTA or Cingular wise.
[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
I get waaaaaaay better ping times on pta then 410.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I'm going to give it a try. But my Fast Dormancy problem isn't as bad, it went from like 7 hours last night to like 3 minutes.

Did you check out that file I posted? It has every plmn number set up for ATT, PTA and cingular. Came from the SGS3 ATT itself.
[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
Saw it. Yes, I have that file. Same one from the ATT Note i717. The plmn you really need is 310410. And from further research, it seems like you can't really win with battery on this one since not all of ATT's network support Dormancy. When you set Dormancy to off and 0 (lcd on) 0 (lcd off), you get a bunch of "deleted_wake_locks" kernel time, continuous. This seems to drain the battery due to the kernel constantly deleting the secril_fd-interface wakelock. When you set lcd on and off high (60), you get an abundance of secril_fd-interface wakelocks when the kernel is waiting for the connection to go dormant. Seems like ATT found a happy medium by using Dormancy and 0 3. That way the kernel only waits about 3 seconds for the connection to turn off when the lcd is off and it stays on (0) when the lcd is on and you're using the phone. Makes sense I guess. Faster connectivity when lcd is on and battery saver wen lcd is off along with short kernel waits for fd to kick in. I bet some ATT devs are following this thread laughing at us saying, "hahaha, we figured this out years ago". :)

Anyways, done with this, spent way too much time on it. My conclusion is go with ATT's dormancy settings for best connectivity and battery stand by. Also, liike I mentioned earlier, the AT&T PTA APN seems more solid than the Cingular 410. But, if you're usng the AT&T PTA, make sure you have the right data plan or you might get annoying texts from ATT.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Yeah, I'm on the unlimited media net. The DXLEA modem seemed to boost my speeds to almost double so that's good enough for me. Don't want to risk getting stuck on a data plan with those annoying text.
[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
What region are you in? I'm still to find a good modem for SoCal.
[Galaxy S III General] jerdog:
I assume you mean the DXLE8 modem? Also, has anyone tried flashing the AT&T SGS3 modem on the i9300?
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I'm in SoCal as well. I love DXLEA, I have way better reception and getting good data connections.

Some people like XXLF5, but when I was in Vegas XXLF5 was terrible compared to DXLEA.

I might give XXLF5 a try, but seeing how it is, DXLEA was great in LA, OC and Vegas. It might be the winner.

http://d-h.st/oLC

Nope, it's DXLEA I believe. Look at the link above. I don't know if we can use those modems, it's a totally different SoC with LTE also right? I don't want to risk it, last time I flashed a modem for my Captivate and it was for the SGS1 I got stuck in a boot loop. Lol.
[Galaxy S III General] ookba:
Skeeeeeered!! Want to try it?? It's probably got a lot of LTE overhead in it we don't need.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I definitely recommend you try the DXLEA modem. Let me know if you have comparisons with it to another modem since we both live in the same region.
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
So, can anyone summarize which nwk database file I should use (I'm assuming the AT&T one) and where I should put it? I also have an i9300 on Straight Talk AT&T.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Just give them a try. If you are rooted, it's easy as copying and pasting them and rebooting your phone. For you, I think you'll have to mess with the APN settings.

But if you want the hard way, then follow this guide to figure out what plmn you are currently connected to.

http://www.androidnz.net/2012/06/at-your-own-risk-how-to-disable-fast.html

Then just throw in the one I posted since it has all the ATT plmns. Back up the other one just in case it's a no bueno before you copy and paste it in.

Lastly, if Fast Dormancy is not supported for straight talk, then just put "off" and 0 and 0. It's hard to understand but when you read the AndroidNZ thing I posted it will make sense. Will take like 15 to 30 minutes of your time.
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
I read that the other night. I know what FD does and that not every carrier supports it. I know ST runs off the AT&T base network, as opposed to other MVNO's that use the GoPhone network. My APN, as I put it in myself looks like this:

Name: Straight Talk

APN: att.mvno

Proxy: Not set

Port: Not set

Username: Not set

Password: Not set

Server: Not set

MMS stuff, yada yada yada

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

So yeah it does have the same network code as AT&T, because it IS AT&T. Only difference is the SIM displays the network operator name as HOME instead of AT&T. I don't have issues with data. My battery life is stellar but I'm not sure if FD is enabled or not; I'm guessing it is because I get wakelocks every once in a while, but they don't really affect my battery life at all. I notice that the wakelocks happen every few seconds as opposed to the whole time the screen is off, so I may stick with what I have if the AT&T one doesn't work well.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Well install betterbatterystats. If you are having drastic wakelock issues due to FD, then look at my image I posted earlier. 7 hours of wakelocks due to fast dormancy.

You'll either need the nwf files I posted or just turn it off completely.
[Galaxy S III General] komugi:
For modems, I've tried LE8, LEF, LF2 and DXLEA, so far, I found the OTA push of the LF2 modem to be most consistent/stable even when moving. DXLEA I found to be pretty fast when stationary, but when I'm in a moving vehicle, it keeps dropping out on me. I'm in New York/New England area.

I'm on Wanam Deodex'd LF6 Stock w/ LF2 modem :)
[Galaxy S III General] Product F(RED):
Nah, it barely uses battery. I have BBS. It's weird; battery life is great although I THINK FD is on. I'm on Omega ROM 6.0 so I'm on whatever CSC comes with that. Anyways, the wakelocks come in waves; in other words the wakelock doesn't appear to be permanent. I could be wrong though; I'll see.
