[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Airplane mode is a feature of the phone and turns off all radios. You can hold the power button and choose airplane mode or use the quick toggle in the notification window. Since it sounds like you may be in an area with weak 4G, you can also use an app called Phone Info to set it to CDMA auto (PRL) under Device Information. You can also change it back to LTE/CDMA/EvDO if you want it to switch as normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] frankybeenz:
With the Verizon S3, is there the need to do *228 (or *22899) ? I did this every so often on my old HTC Incredible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Doesn't work on LTE devices. A reboot essentially does the same thing. Some have recommended pulling the battery with the phone on, removing the sim card for about 30sec and then putting everything back in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xceebeex:
Thanks, I know what airplane mode is, wasn't sure where the APN setting was. I will look in to phone info though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kreeker:
Are you guys also experiencing the "No Sim Card" and "No Network Connection" issues?

Or is this an entirely different issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
When this phone goes to 3g, it does seem extra bad on how long it takes to switch back to 4g. i have areas where i live where it goes to 3g when going in between hill (less than a 50 foot stretch) and it will not go back to 4g for over 10 minutes if i dont manually do it. Not to mention my LTE never goes above 10 mbps on the best days :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] swordphsh:
Somewhat related...If you use Anycut to create a shortcut to IOTHiddenMenu, enter the ##DATA# Menu, edit. Under "Advanced", there is an LTE toggle, under "Other" > "HDR/1X" you can set the phone mode, and then under "Other" > "LTE APN Settings" you can somewhat modify the APN settings, reset and discard. If it asks for a password, it's 000000.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
I gave these a try. I'm trying to find a way for my phone to favor 4G when there's a 4G signal, no matter how weak.

Yesterday I did a test, 3G with 3 bars vs 4G with 0 to 1 and 4G had consistently faster download speeds and shorter ping times. The upload varied from similar to 3G to slower.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
:):)

probably easier said than done. The phone info app can force LTE but you lose voice and text.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
Ya I found that out yesterday when testing speeds. I went to send a text then make a call and no luck

Otherwise 4G service where I live could be excellent at one spot then a mile away no service. If I had excellent 4G consistently I'd consider GoSMS which I believe has the option for data text and also a separate VoIP app

Ah well hopefully something will be figured out eventually. With a strong 4G signal 4G is considerably faster and more consistent than my 20mbps home broadband

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lefos123:
send it back

I've had similar issues with my network. I had no 4G in 4G areas, but mainly my wifi would disconnect randomly and 3G also dropped to 1X a lot. I ended up having to send it back and get another one. So far no issues. Also the new ones have an "Updated" sticker on them. I think it was just a software update they applied, but I never got the OTA on my old phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Your new phone came with an already updated firmware version I535VRALG1 instead of the original version I535VRALF2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kreeker:
I'm having the same issue with my second replacement phone... My first one was replaced for an entirely different issue (loose home button).

Did you get the "No Sim Card" notification and "No Network Connection" message?

I think I might have to return this one as well...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mccallen7583:
Not sure if anyone will have the same luck I have with the "Phone Info" app, but with it I was able to get my 4g service back and my phone is functioning normally again. Just open the app, select Device Information and scroll down to "Set preferred network type" and select "LTE/CDMA/EvDo" then get out of the app.. 4g should return shortly there after. When I looked at it, my device was set to "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)"

do this download wifi analyzer and it will tell u ur weak channels and ur strongest channels on ur wifi router. then log into router and change ur wifi channel to the strongest one. works great and i have no probs now!!

plus those wifi booster apps are junk

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sferg.410:
Apologies if this has been asked before.

I have just changed from my S2 on Orange to a GNex which i think is great. Both are unlocked, rooted etc. and i had Orange Signal Boost running on my S2 which was really useful for me were i live in the UK as there are lots of places around me with no signal but there is wi-fi.

So, is it possible to get Orange Signal Boost or a similar kind of app to run on the GNex with JB 4.1.1 so that calls can be made normally but going via wi-fi and not normal signal as there is not any. I now UMA or something is needed and the S2 has that, but basically is anything possible with the great GNex?????

Thanks

There's a real invasion of cheap android TV boxes, I'm wondering which one is the best to buy for future firmware upgrades. I noticed they use several different CPUs and have different features, I find it difficult that the producers will release future upgrades. Do you have any experience on these boxes?

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bronk93:
Any ideas why cell standby has the highest percentage of battery consumption or is this normal? Im running a rooted stock ics Rom from our development forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
If the phone is idle it's normal. Also I'm pretty sure its affected by signal strength, the lower the signal the more battery it will consume.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] htc0101:
I had a similar problem. I went back to the factory charger plug and USB cable and my battery life got way better. Search "wake lock". That was my problem. Hope it helps.

As mentioned above a bad or low signal strength can affect it too.

One last thought, what about background apps syncing? If you have a lot of them...?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bronk93:
I've researched the wake lock and since I don't have the original charger I always reboot my phone after charge so it goes into deep sleep. I didn't use my phone almost all day and it kinda freaked me out that cell standby was at the top of the list. Naturally if the phone isn't being used then cell standby should be at the top of the list.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jaythaovadose:
Cell standby is usually no signal idle is not using the phone.FL CPU spy and make sure your phone is deep sleeping

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karnalsyn:
So in the span of an hour I had rooted and unrooted my phone. Did this for a couple reasons really. First being this is my first android phone and I wanted to experience the process. Second being I wanted to try the sixaxis controller apk.

I live in Canada and imported a phone via amazon.com purchase. I believe I got the Taiwan model as right out of the box it was defaulted to a chinese character setting. During my unroot process, I flash the UK base into it. This happened because of two things. One being I wasn't 100% sure I had the Taiwan model or not when I was selecting the rom to flash back to. And two, I was following the video in the rooting section which included resetting my flash count to zero and changing my phone from KOR to BTU.

Since then I've run some tests. Cell service is looking good, data is working. Only thing I noticed that I lost in the process was the language keyboard(canada) was available in the chinese stock rom, but I have to use the US one for this stock.

Is there anything I should be aware of? Should I not get too attached to this stock rom and try my best to flash back into the original?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Nope. Rom's are completely interchangeable within the boundaries if the i9300/i9300T hardware.

You can even go as far as cherry-picking the System from one ROM, the CSC from another, the modem from yet another...

(Only within compatibility, Axxx and Bxxx ROM's are not compatible, Bxxx being newer)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karnalsyn:
Great, good to know. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karnalsyn:
actually just found something, I can no longer access the menu button from within the wifi settings screen. As a result I can't select frequency band, etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
It's possible that some ROM's dont include that feature. If it's on auto you should be fine anyway since it _should_ prefer the 5Ghz band over 2.4.

AOSP Roms don't have it either, no issue here =)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dnguy76:
Hey guys, after flashing my Nexus it seems the IMEI changed. Calls and stuff still works...

I just want to know if it would cause any trouble if I left it that way? I don't want to stuff up the phone more than I already have and I dont want to pay to fix it if there's no point.

Phones out of warranty so I don't really care, what I'm worried is if anyone else has this Issue and has the same IMEI Number causing the Mobile Phone Service Providers to either block me or I duhno... Rock up at my door with the police? Cause as I'm aware we're not supposed to change it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hirorir:

In the OG EVO section there are two wikis that were extremely useful to me and I'm sure many others. There is a Device Wiki and a ROM Wiki. They were generally kept up to date and consolidated a good deal of information. What would it take to get a wiki going for the EVO LTE?

ok so I was flashing (experimenting) Skyrocket ROMs for my Hercules. So I was kinda going crazy on the flashing since I was bored so flashed this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1560759

BTW it was NOT SKYROCKET ROM, this is ATT GS2 which is completely different than Skyrocket. Skyrocket ROM is compatible with our device, just FYI

Anyways, boom the installation was snap and it rebooted automatically as it said on the OP. Then the phone just went black... wouldn't turn on, nothing. I pulled the battery and inserted nothing.... I was like WTF that I did..... of course it BRICKED!

I was going crazy (well not really lol). Luckily I still have warranty so called T-Mobile and got it replaced, will be here next week.

Well the point is READ READ and READ before you flash anything, I got lucky since I have warranty but not everyone.

Lesson learned in a hard way!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
You need to fix this post.. The rom you flashed was not for the SkyRocket but was for the ATT SGS 2 which is totally different phone.. PLEASE PLEASE dont start another Rumor that Skyrocket roms are not safe.. because they are.

Not being mean but if you dont specify then for the next month we will have 100 threads asking about SR roms on the Hercules..

Edit: Not to mention you can trick it into download mode and use odin to fix it.. search for instructions if you want to try.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
Not sure why you posted this.. there was no question.. this is Exactly what I said. Not a Skyrocket rom so it should have been obvious it wouldn't work.

But unless you follow the link and see its for the ATT SGS 2, the OP leads you to believe he bricked flashing a Skyrocket Rom and that's misleading and should be corrected to reflect that.

Edit: Nvm I searched for it myself
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I guess the moral of this story is if you are gonna flash an AT&T rom on the hercules you have to make sure you are getting it from the (skyrocket) forum..

Umm op says you flashed a rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
Still. Even if this is the case. . . Odin download mode should still be accessible.

Either way it wasn't a Skyrocket rom or modem that you flashed. You should edit your OP to reflect that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nellycruzz:
Lol newbs. Just cuz you brick your phone does not always mean "oh I'll just use Odin" lol. U can't flash the wrong radios and modems and expect Odin to save your ass. Its called a JIG. Search it. You can buy via eBay or wherever u get lucky at. The sgh-i777 and sgh-i727 are totally different. If they werent, then please explain why at&t released two desperate phones near the same time branded the "galaxy s2". Lol. Good luck on your search.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shankar10:
yeah it was a wrong ROM and RADIO lol

but I'm not worried about it, my replacement will be here tomo. I made this post so that people will be more careful about what they flash :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
No dude. We all get that. I'm still waiting for you to admit this had nothing to do with a Skyrocket rom or radio. You need to edit your origanal post to reflect that.

EDIT : nevermind you did that already.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
Unless the partition was overwritten that contains DL mode then it will ALWAYS work.. .

Also did you try ..

1. remove battery.

2. plug in phone to usb on computer with battery STILL OUT

3. while plugged in hold down volume up and down.

4. Still plugged in and still holding the volume up and down, insert your battery.

5. boom choose continue and find download mode

Usually foolproof.

So yesterday I went to flash a Kernel and needless to say it didn't work. So just like my Galaxy Nexus, I held down the special key combo and got into the Bootloader, scrolled to Boot Recovery and it went to the Google screen but never went to recovery. I figured it just froze so rebooted into Bootloader and tried again, with the same result. So I tried it again to see if I could even boot normally from the Bootloader and it wouldn't even get past the Google screen doing just a normal boot.

Is anyone else having this issue? May try a full fastboot restore back to stock and re root, but I would like to know if anyone else is having this issue before I move on.
[Nexus 7 General] evonc:
Connect your N7 to a computer via usb and then boot into bootloader and you should be able to get in. It is a known issue that you can't get into recovery unless you send a command via adb or you are connected to a pc via usb.
