I had the same exact problem. Data on CM9 and MikMIUI was intermittent, if at all. After trying just about everything to fix data on ICS, I decided to re-flash to COMPLETE stock and go from there. Initially, I used Revolutionary to S-OFF my phone and I now suspect something in Rev S-OFF was causing the data issues. This is what I did:

1. Re-locked bootloader

2. Used Blue's guide to go back to S-ON and complete stock

3. Updated to 1.63 via OTA

4. Unlocked bootloader with HTCDev

5. Flashed CWM 5.0.2.7 and Superuser

6. Used JuopunutBear to S-OFF

7. Flashed CM9

This process took awhile but I've been running CM9 Alpha 5 for the past few days and data has been solid, no issues at all. I guess JuonpunutBear>Revolutionary
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] manimmal:
Kinda sounds like there could be something to that. And I'm just spitballin this but I've never had any of these issues with data that everyone else is having, or has had (on any ROM I've ever flashed). I bought my phone S-ON and used Juopunutbear for S-OFF. Never before, or since then have i had data issues. Can anyone else attest to that who used Revolutionary to get S-OFF vs Juopuntutbear as far as data issues go?

And anyone else who knows more on the subject, is that a possibility? :confused:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Lockdo6307:
I'm gonna try and Soff just weary with sticking wires to achieve it..... Just seems strange ill give it a go I guess
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jjbz:
For the wire trick, I used a 1/2 foot of old coaxial cable from the middle of the cable and stripped off a 1/2 inch of each end's protective layer. Seemed easier and more efficient than using an ethernet cable
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Lockdo6307:
i just did it and used a paperclip worked fine going to try miui now will let you know
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Lockdo6307:
data works fine thanks a million for input had something to do with S-on idk seems strange..... flashing the boot.img so many times must cause a bug ...... doesn't matter now all is good :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] qayshp:
try this!

Sorry, I didn't think to post here.

If it happens again, try going into a basement or elevator where you know your phone will drop connection and begin searching for network. I mean absolutely no signal. It works for me, see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28881240
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Have you tried airplane mode? That will shut down the radios. When it is brought up again out should start looking for signal. Our perhaps switch to 2g only then back to 2g/3g?

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] qayshp:
Yea none of that works, I know I tried it.

I actually had to lose signal for it to start working again.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Kanerix:
I've tried using airplane mode, hard reboot, soft reboot, changing roms, wiping data/cache/everything, pulling the battery for a while, and none of it works to restore this. RMA'ing the phone.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:

hiii. i hv galaxy s2 and dell xps 15, both having bluetooth 3.0. but when i transfer data through the bluetooth, it show transfer speed at d max 200 kbps :( . but as far as i know, bluetooth 3.0 can have a maximum of 24 MBIT/SEC transfer rate.

Can anybody tell my how to transfer data at higher speed..

thanx in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aufban:
Same question here:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amin-GalaxyS2:
To get what you want the laptop and sgs2 should both be connected to same wireless network. I suddenly noticed that. In my home wifi the transfer rate speed reaches 1mb per sec. May be in better wifi networks it increases even more...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
Are you sure your computer/USB receiver supports USB 3.0?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amin-GalaxyS2:
I forgot to notice that not any bt3 can do high speed, just those are bt3+hs like sgs2.

And ics does not support hs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandeep5885:
yes i m sure dat my dell xps 15 is bt 3.0+hs capable as there is also an option. i m attaching an image of bt settings in my laptop
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandeep5885:
i have also face this problem when i was using gingerbread version
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winie:
from wikipedia: "Bluetooth 3.0+HS provides theoretical data transfer speeds of up to 24 Mbit/s, though not over the Bluetooth link itself. Instead, the Bluetooth link is used for negotiation and establishment, and the high data rate traffic is carried over a collocated 802.11 link."

so that's why they have to be connected to same wifi network
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandeep5885:
ok ok. but tell me how to do wt u just said....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amin-GalaxyS2:
Did you connect both devices to same wi-fi?

I Have hp dv6-6080 and in GB I got notification when both were connected to the wi-fi, without wi-fi not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandeep5885:
m i supposed to make an ad hoc connection in the laptop
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buntoo:
BT 3.0 + HS not supported by ICS

Bluetooth High Speed is not supported on ICS.

You'll get only BT 3.0 speed which is around 200-250kbps.

On gingerbread I was able to get around 2-3MB (16-24Mbps) transfer rate.

Hi guys,

Just wanted some help from you guys. Suddenly i noticed that my s3 has started speaking on its own. Like when i zoom out my homescreens, it says

"Workspace 2 of 3"

When i open a folder,it says

"Folder opened "

I dont know what happened. I didnt tweak any settings and updated to the latest firmware about a week back. Until yesterday there were no voice feedbacks but all of a sudden they have started. Couldnt find any setting to turn them off either.

It is very annonying and any help would be greatly appreciated!

i get an endless bootloop, i flashed a new firmware to try and fix it, but to no avail, any solutions?

do you think its bricked? i mean it powers on, i can access cwm, download mode

i tried this also

. Start your phone in CWM Recovery

2. Go to Advanced

3. Choose "Wipe dalvik-cache"

4. Now go to "Mounts & Storage"

5. Choose "Wipe /cache"

6. Reboot your phone

if the problems still exists after doing that and you're sure it's not related to the rom, then you need to do this:

1. Start your phone in CWM Recovery

2. Now go to "Mounts & Storage"

3. Choose "Wipe /data"

4. Choose "Wipe /cache"

5. Reboot your phone

to no avail. lol. i guess i will have to be buying me a new s3

(other roms wont get past boot loop also)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
....................................

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .

First make sure you are in the correct forum and flashing your phones firmware .

Backup data first if phone is working .

Boot CWM recovery

Mounts and Storage

Format cache data system sd card .

Remove battery

Boot to download mode

Open Odin

Install correct stock firmware .

Still problems use Triangle Away to set rom counter to zero flash original or stock firmware .

Return to service centre .

Hi,

I finally succeed to install the new Achotjan ROM and by the way thanks, it's a really good ROM.

But I have a problem with the 3G. There is the informor that I have 3G but when I go to the Google Play Store or on a web page, there is no connexion.

The wifi works fine.

Is this due to the new ROM?

Thanks

Anthony

Kernel: default kernel

Opérateur: Orange France
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin-J:
you enabled 3g :) but u dont have data plan :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taoder:
Yes I saw the H with the two arrows and sometimes they're both white which means that at receive data.

But with more research, it seems that my phone is taken for a computer. When I'm connect in WIFI, I'm not anymore redirect to the mobile page.

Example: Before: www facebook.com -> m facebook.com, now: www facebook.com -> www .facebook.com

I don't have this problem with other ROM. I really like this one and I don't want to change.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin-J:
H is 2g not 3g. and the mobile redirect thing is based on user agent. ur phone browser does not introduce itself as a phone. so, websites think that it is a computer. it is not only 4 ur rom. any rom u can install browser.apk with custom user ageny settings (some roms dun have, but is downloadable, some cases even stock roma have it) si if 3g dun work 4 u, change rom (u can still use this browser :) just make an apk backup or download new apk after u install new rom)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel29:
H i s for High Speed Packet Access,and its way better than 3g
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taoder:
Thanks but I gave up. I already re-intalled all the apps. I don't want to restart to the beginning. I will have the new ROM when I will have a new phone.

Could anyone recommend a good stable JW6 Base to start me off?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saphirrot:
no, because they are all stable, as far as i know. Just pick a rom and test it urself, if you like it, keep it, if not choose another until you get the best choice ;D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid_No.7:
Cool, was looking for an opinion but after having a look theres tons, so as you say best start testing.

From searching JW6 seems to be the latest official base, going to try Saurom.
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
Do you use a case on your OB?

On the one hand OB is very slim, what makes it feel good in the hands and look very nice, on the other hand if it falls on the ground it may break.

And do you use a screen protector? some people claim that it's unnecessary, but is OB screen really made of gorilla glass?
[LG Optimus Black] Vinzgore:
Never used a case and I dropped my phone many many times, still working great and it is not damaged :)

I have a silicon/latex cover and NEVER use it, makes it bulky and very hot, i just saw a metal back cover though i may get that one

[Galaxy S III General] kabracity:
Hi,

Just wanted to share a bug I found with a friend, regarding the otg feature. Doing a quick look on xda, I've notices that this bug is also present on other Samsung devices, such as the SGSII and the Galaxy Note.

After disconnecting a storage device (such as a pendrive), the unmount process keeps running, preventing the phone going into deep idle status (see pictures below).The issue is solved by restarting the device (I guess you can kill the process/service if the phone is rooted, haven't looked deeper yet). I discovered it after having a serious battery drain yesterday night and thanks to BetterBatteryStats.

Maybe some of you have run into this issue and found a fix.

Cheers
[Galaxy S III General] DavidJAD:
Same thing happens on my S3.
[Galaxy S III General] alex_herrero:
I think we may all have the same problem. Even GNote and SGS2...

There are many threads on this regard on XDA, (e.g. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525860) and I think we should keep investigating. There should be a way of make a script to kill the process (or propery unmount).

EDITED: After some tests, it seems that if you unplug or go to the notification bar and click unmount, it will trigger the issue. But, try the following:

Go to Settings, Storage, scroll to the end and hit Unmount OTG Storage

It won't trigger the bug. Confirmed by at least 2 devices.
[Galaxy S III General] DavidJAD:
I just tested it and when unmounted the way you described, the bug doesn't appear. Decent temporary fix until Samsung gets around to fixing it.
[Galaxy S III General] alex_herrero:
Well, that's it then! Solved!
[Galaxy S III General] flathunt:
So you know, if anyone's still looking, I've got a 6810 with the UK 4.0.4 stock (rooted), which displays the same behaviour but the fix suggested doesn't work, the only thing that does is a reboot after disconnecting any USB storage.

EDIT - retracted, the workaround does work, I was looking at old data.
[Galaxy S III General] tdodd:
I was directed to this thread from the Note forum. On the Note, running the latest German ICS 4.0.4 release this option does not exist within the storage settings. The only option I have found is to unmount from the notification bar. This method is still invoking the wakelock, so no fix for us Note users yet, it would appear. :(

I had to reboot just to save my device and my sanity.
[Galaxy S III General] worldix:
Hi, i'm a new user. After a couple of tests with my galaxy note, i have seen that removing the usb pen "directly" without click on the safe removal notification doesn't activate the bug.

However, even if you safe remove your usb storage, kill the MTP usb mount process by going into "settings--->applications--->running--->show cached process on the bottom on the page, the bug is still here.
[Galaxy S III General] alekhkhanna:
Oh crap, just noticed my SGN has this bug (running NoteCore with CleaNote). And even after stopping the MTP USB Mount process from cached applications, it still shows up in BBS i.e. still running. :|
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
Yep. Same here. Everytime I remove the USB stick I forget to reboot and phone doesn't sleep. Next time I will try the fix. What a f... up Samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] ligu:
Is there some where we can go to file this bug with samsung?
[Galaxy S III General] ks2:
UsbStorageUnmountter

Same thing on my S3 with original actual Samsung firmware. I must reboot to deactivate the UsbStorageUnmountter. :(
[Galaxy S III General] fred_be9300:
Possibly off-topic, but I found the same issue exists, and workaround works, for my Galaxy Tab 8.9 (P7300 (3g), but with P7310 (wifi-only) stock ICS). Thanks for the hint :) I will post this workaround in our own sub-forum, with credits.

I've searched around for a way to kill the UsbStorageUnmountter, but couldn't find one.

I noticed that "Quick System Info Pro", in the Processes tab, will show a (thread/activity/whatever) under "Android System" called "UsbStorageUnmountter", when the bug was triggered (by unmounting from notifications). I haven't tried yet to kill this process (pid=191)... my instinct says it does more than just usb unmounting, so I doubt it's "safe" to kill. To be continued...
[Galaxy S III General] shouk_1987:
Thank GOD, i am not the only one here

Hello Everybody, i have the same BUG here, S3

I am on a custom ROM ( ICS based ) and i was afraid that it would be a bug in the kernel or something

I connected my pen drive three days ago and the battery was like HELLLL

Draining like the japanese bullet train :D

I am really hoping for a solution other than rebooting the device

For the above workaround, i cannot see "Unmount OTG Storage" under storage settings

Do u mean to select this option when the drive is connected, rather than selecting the option in the notification bar ???
[Galaxy S III General] Beach_Head:
Yes...

Because if you un-mount through the notification bar, that's what triggers the bug...

[Galaxy S III General] lelinuxien52:
Unmount via settings doesn't work for me ! (On XXELL4 GTi9300)
[Galaxy S III General] qwerty12:
If you have the wonderful Xposed installed, you can use the attached APK (source) to stop this bug by having the wakelock released just after it is created.

It's just a small adaptation of jazzk's fix from here, so if you'd rather edit the smali directly, instead, head there.

Grab the APK from: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36014120&postcount=291
[Galaxy S III General] kerbiii:
I installed the apk, what happens next? Does it remove the wakelock when i safely remove usb? Bcoz i cant find the app itself

[Galaxy S III General] eakkypoo:
I am using Note2 and having this issue as well.

Well, I have installed the file usbstorageunmountter be gone.apk already, but it seems like it doesn't work at all.

The only way to disable the usbunmountter issue is to go to setting>Storage>unmount it.

This issue will be gone, and the device will be enable to go into deepsleep again.

It might be annoying to do so, but trust me, it is worth to do while battery is draining.

Just do not unplug usb without those step, if so, you will have to reboot your device everytime.
[Galaxy S III General] rmarcus:
Has anyone been able to make it work using the latest BTU firmware LLA?:confused:
[Galaxy S III General] hellter:
Ok, this works on my GS3 stock too :)

I think it's the best partial solution... btw you have to try this on first instance, if you unplug your usb without this method and THEN test it, it won't work

Look at the bottom, where the themes are, select the very first 2013 beta not the second one marked 2013 beta 1024, that should fix your problem, seems because I was on the old beta, I still am on the old beta, so the new rollout isn't being used as yet, therefore I didn't get the effects you guys did and I'm not about to try it out to find out, lol.
