My GS3 will only connect to my Airave for data, not voice. Power cycled both the Airave and the phone multiple times and nothing I do can get the thing to use the Airave for voice. I can still call out and receive calls, but i'm connected to a native Sprint tower. I don't get the usual tone you hear when you're connected to an Airave, the mobile light doesn't blink, and there's zero bandwidth usage on my router when calling. I can verify through my router that it is definitely connected to the Airave for 3G data though as I can almost peg my slow-ass 1.5 mbps DSL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] v8bait:
My Airave connects fine, but is as bad as it's ever really been. Only get about one or two walls worth of penetration with the stupid thing, it's pretty worthless in larger homes. In 2 bedrooms, the back yard, garage, and office the Airave just causes dropped calls. What I could use is a "Roaming Only" button, as there is very strong Verizon service in the area (those handful of times the phone goes to roaming are very good times).

This happens with the OG Epic, E4GT, GS3, iPhone 4S, and an old blackberry. If only they allowed us to up the xmit power on the things or install better antenna's.

I had LG2 and my airave was working okay. I have lg8 now and it seem to be working the same.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blazerboy567:
Sprint is sending me the new 2.5 airave device to replace my 2.0 one should have it shortly. Hopefully the new software in the 2.5 will work better. Been having your same issue since I got the device on lf9
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digiblur:
Can you physically tell a difference on the 2.5 from the 2.0. I recently got a new airave and was wondering which one I got.

Seems like most people have had a decent experience with the Airave? I just ordered one off of ebay. Hoping to get more than 1 freaking bar in my apartment. I drop calls all the time and I have to go outside or stand near a window to get more than one bar. Hoping this will get me a couple more bars. Only spent 37$ for it...so it's not a huge loss if it doesn't work as advertised. I tried to get one free from sprint but alas, they however did say they would pay the 5$ or whatever it is per month so hopefully they'll still do (been a few mths) that when I call them up and tell them I have an Airave.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blazerboy567:
Yes the 2.5 is smaller and will have airave 2.5 on it. But now I'm running into an issue to where the GPS is saying I am in Austin when I am 20 minutes from downtown Dallas. Call quality has increased but data drop still to 1xrtt however it does pick back up evdo rev a quicker.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blazerboy567:
Here is a pic
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
I dont understand why people care if it has 1xrtt or evo rev a, or whatever!!

just turn on the darn wifi and who cares!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blazerboy567:
I don't pay sprint for data usage and pay Verizon fios for data for nothing. Plus I game don't need excessive bandwidth sucking my latency. Plus the arrive only uses a small amount of bandwidth to convert ur isp signal to evdo rev a
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
that still doesn't explain why one can't just turn on the wifi? you are saying too much bandwidth speed is not good? :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blazerboy567:
Pc gaming not on the phone lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
ah ok.....i get it..you want to save bandwidth for your PC...lol..sorry..my bad

that makes sense...but when people try to use 3g data and complain from an airave, it's a moot point because most phones have wifi now

Yep add tends to stop me from typing in details lmao

Stock LG2

Sprint sent me an Airave due to poor signal at work. I use WiFi for data while I'm at work so that has never been an issue. I installed it in my server room (one wall between my office and the Airave) and I get full bars. I walk to my company's neighbor which is connected to our buisness and it drops to two bars (three wall and about 40' destance). The signal does drop but its still usable. Over all I am very happy with the product.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
Does anyone have any specs on the differences between the 2.0 and 2.5?

Personally I hope they fix the issue of it needing to be in FRONT of your router (right off the modem). Or at least make it so the airraves internal router boots up first before it tries to connect to the sprint service.

Should my device lose power I always lose internet for about 15-20 min while the stupid device boots up and connects... Thankfullyl i'm on a battery backup, but it can be annoying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
i have the old one and I don't need to keep it in front of the router...i just plug it in the router like I plug in my computer to the router
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digiblur:
I never put it in front either. No thanks, I'm not putting any device like that to watch all my traffic. I know it's kinda tin-foil hattish but no thanks. I just put it in behind my router and set a static DHCP address to it so I can set that IP as high priority on my QOS. No issues with voice quality even if I'm uploading a bunch of stuff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
Perhaps you two have a different model than I do, but the one I have MUST be in front of the router.

I've tried DMZ zones, static DHCP, even opened specific ports with QOS on/off etc...

The symptom was the same... It'd work for about a day, then lose the connection to sprint's servers, even they couldn't ping the device.

If I reset the device (not the router) it'd pick up a new signal after about 30 min and work fine for a day.

I went through 3 different units as tech support kept telling me it must be a faulty unit.. until one of the senior techs asked where it was in the line, before or after the router.. and as soon as I mentioned it was behind it, she knew exactly what the issue was.

The only thing I can think of, and I've done network debugging for quite a number of years, is that my ISP, Comcast, is doing something 'odd' with the traffic and/or my IP address and that was causing issues. In fact one tech went so far to say that Comcast Broadband (not DSL) isn't fast enough to handle voice traffic! (I get approx 20Mbps down, and almost 5 up consistently, with almost no packet loss and only minor 'jitter' in their own quality test site).

I've got things working now.. and the only annoying thing was my HTC Evo would hang up on any call when I came in range of the AirRave as it switched over.. thankfully I've not noticed that with my S3 just yet.

For reference, my Device is:

Sprint Airvana

Model: Hubbub C1-600-RT

Firmware:V2.5.14.12
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jesusprice:
When you get that airwave report back and let us know if it helps out with your signal
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digiblur:
I have the airvana version that doesn't have the Airave 2.5 on the side. It just uses a VPN connection and any router that allows a VPN will work with it being behind the router. I have put several of these behind different routers.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blazerboy567:
Im about to give up. I have set the modem/router to have a DMZ to IP of airave changed QOS In router to VOIP acceptance hIgh. Still same issue I called isp had them refresh and reboot signal to home box outside. 8X8 test.com show constant 90% QOS. Speedtest shows 50 download and 45 upload on ISP. Can't figure out why choppy calls and dropping evdo rev a thru airave. So basically back to square one with now a GPS lock issue with 2.5 airave.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blazerboy567:
Here is a question could the voip portion of the signal coming from the box on the house drop if there is a splitter on an outlet. Like a -2dbm splitter one goes to the cable stb and the other to the modem. If that the case that means the data packets will drop and data loss will be present not just voip loss through the data stream.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nacron:
I have an airrave 2.5 to help with really bad call quality and it works to that extent but leaving my phone on 3g signal instead of wifi gives me regular 3g speeds. Max I'm getting is 400k. If I switch to wifi it gives me 25mbps. I have the airrave behind my routers in my house and I even tried connecting my laptop to the lan port on the airrave and I get the same 25mpbs speed test. Why won't the airrave relay the speed via it's 3g?

Try Roam Control

Check out Roam Control, I've used it in the past and it's awesome! can't get it in the play store, but you can get it online if you google it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:
Because 3G as a transmission protocol (Sprint uses HSDPA) is only capable of up to 3.6Mbps...and that includes overhead like error correction and packet headers.

There are other 3G protocols that allow you more bandwidth... HSPA+ which in theory allows up to 21.6Mb/s is the primary example used by T Mobile (which calls it 4G, even though its really 3G).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bkosh84:
I have an Airave 2.5 and my issue with it is that ALL my calls drop after 4-5 minutes on the phone with someone. I called Sprint twice about it and they just tell me to cycle through with power on all phones, update profiles on all phone and nothing has worked.. It became such a annoyance I ended up unplugging the damn Airave and dealing with the 1-3 bars I get in my home.. The connection isn't the best but at least I can make calls that last longer than 5 minutes now...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bennzbennz:
I too like many others have been having issues with the Airave 2.5 with the S3.

Quick question: Would anyone know why I am able to get an LTE connection from the Airave at my house but not at my school? My only guess is that its because where I life already has LTE and where I go to school there is only eHHRPD and EV-DO Rev. A. However when connected to the airave at my school, I get put on EV-DO Rev. A.

Any clues to why this happens?

Much appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Your Airave doesn't support LTE (I checked). You're not getting your LTE connection from the Airave. The towers by you have been upgraded to LTE, and your phone is connecting to them, not the Airave. But when you're at your school, there is no LTE available, so your phone connects to your Airave via EVDO.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bennzbennz:
Thanks for your quick reply. I don't question your judgement but I should probably mention that I dialed *99 and got the recorded message stating that I was on Airave coverage and then did a speed test which then reported my location as being at my house not at the cell site. I really wish Sprint didn't make the Airave so secretive.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
You were connected to your Airave at your house, but not for LTE. Your phone connected to a tower with LTE, but connected to the Airave for voice. Remember, you aren't always connected to a single source. When out and about, away from home, you could be connected to two different towers - one for voice, and one for data. The phone interprets them as two completely different connections and manages them separately.

So, your voice calls still went through the Airave, hence your *99 experience, but your LTE connection was through Sprint towers. I hope that makes sense.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bennzbennz:
Is this due to the S3 having two radios? Also, could it affect on if the phone connects to the Airave properly? I ask because sometimes when I'm not in a very strong signal area, I loose my bars and phone starts searching for service but I still have a data connection and if I remember correctly, I am still able to access the Internet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
It may be because of having two radios, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter. I remember it being like that on my Evo 4G, and that only had one radio, IIRC (not counting Wimax). It's part of the network's design. Voice and data capacity are different in each tower. One tower may be too crowded in terms of voice capacity, but it might have plenty of spectrum left for EVDO, in which case your phone would connect to that tower for EVDO and find a different, less-crowded, tower for voice (I think it's usually the opposite, though - EVDO gets crowded before voice, but it can go either way; there's no rule). This is why people will point out that Touchwiz (and Sense of you were using an HTC phone) only displays voice signal, even if it says "3G" next to the signal. Just because you're connected to a close tower for voice, doesn't mean the EVDO tower is giving the same signal quality.

Just remember that voice and data are two separate connections. It's possible to use 1x voice for data, in which case your data and voice signals would be the same, but 90% of the time, you'll be connected either to both EVDO and 1x or you'll be connected to LTE and 1x.

I honestly don't know much about Airaves since my signal is fine at my house. I just know that most Airaves are not LTE-compatible yet (and even if it were, you'd be limited to your home Internet speeds, so it would be pointless; may as well just use Wifi instead), and I know that the phone can connect to different sources for each connection.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bennzbennz:
That all makes perfect sense. Thank you very much kind sir!

Would a fast Internet connection significantly help the Airave?

We have Verizon Fios with a download speed of 75 down and 35 up.

I was reading on another post about how someone thought that the Airave has built in VPN. Does anyone I know if this is true?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
75 and 35 what? Those numbers don't make sense without some reference.

None the less, yes you need a decent high speed internet connection for it to work. 3mbs down and up should be the minimum to be bale to have phone calls and use the internet at the same time. Also, if you have the Airave connected to a LAN port on your router, rather than between the modem and the router, you'll have problems. The airave needs load balancing to maintain call quality. If it is competing for bandwidth with your other internet devices, it will get stuttery. Since I have DDWRT on my router, I have it configured for QoS and load balancing. Problem solved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bennzbennz:
75 down/35 up was refering to my Internet speed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
Not it's not. Once again, plopping numbers on the screen with no context or scale is meaningless. 75 and 35 are not "internet speeds". They're numbers. So again, 75 and 35 WHAT? Kilobits? Megabits? Chickens? Do you mean 7500kbps and 3500kbps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhill110:
Elementary Watson. Kbps as opposed to KBps.

75/35 is damn good. For me anyway. The best I've been able to get is 50/10 (Kbps)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
Ok, so basically what you're saying is that you have no clue wtf you're saying???? You just said you're getting a slow connection than a dial-up modem that was popular in 1998.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Hate to break it to you, but 75Kbps is a terrible download speed, especially for fiber. It's literally less than 20Kbps faster than dialup.

I think you mean 75 Mbps, which is more in line with a fiber connection. This is exactly why the other poster wanted you to post units in addition to numbers. The difference is important. 75Kbps means you're waiting almost half an hour for every 3MB file you download. 75Mbps means that same file downloads in a couple seconds. Huge difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
I highly doubt he has a a 75mbbs downstream and 35mbps upstream connection from verizon. That's way higher than they typically offer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Well, I really hope he doesn't actually mean 75Kbps, for his sake. Not sure what other units he'd be using. Even 75KBps is pretty terrible. I honestly have no idea which units could be associated with those numbers of it's not Mbps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhill110:
Yes. To many beers. Funny thing... Two weeks ago Comcast sent me an email telling me 25 megs was the new norm for my account. I blew it off. Last week out of boredom I ran speedtest.net (I think) and sure enough 50 Mbps. Of course in the real world that just ain't so.

I do tech support for a local cable company (Well smaller company) We offer speeds up to 105mbs download (Tested to hit about 127mbs download a few times, avg was about 108 or so) Very possible.. but expensive.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
Of course it is possible. But having a 75/35 + mbps connection to your home is still rather rare. Seriously, it's rather pointless too unless you're trying to serve up an entire army of devices.

So presuming he's right and this a legit 75/35 connection, then clearly that is about 74/34 more than the Airave needs :p

Again in my experience, if you have the Airave your LAN, it will get stuttery and choppy since it is not getting any kind of priority or QoS. Using DD-WRT, I gave my airave a reserved chuck of bandwidth and the highest priority. That fixed all the choppy stutters. My IP security cameras and HTPC are all set for lower priority bulk traffic. Other devices (laptops, tablets, etc) are set for normal priority.

Damn dude. So the inevitable next questions... Why? "Just because" is perfectly acceptable. But I'm curious if you have a reason for such monstrous amounts of bandwidth for a residential account?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bennzbennz:
My Dad's business is located at our house and we decided to have just one ISP with a single account. We went with Verizon because Comcast has a data cap and not nearly enough speed and bandwidth. Least importantly, we are Verizon Communications stock holders and it would look a little strange if we didn't have FioS.

Comcast supported SOPA. You know how people don't like dem DMCA laws. I mean I believe in DMCA but not how it would be enforced if SOPA got passed and became a law.

Because the Evdo is garbage on the unit. Sometimes I roam when 15 foot from mine. Too bad they didn't use Samsung for the Evdo units as those airaves were great.

Hello,

The initial build of Paranoid Android ROMs allowed for the total disablement of the native touch keys therefore allowing you to use only the on screen keys native to ICS. I believe the version was 1.2 as 1.3 and up no longer has this option.

Does anyone have a copy of the 1.2 version of Paranoid Android? I didn't have any issues on the ROM and I know it lacks features of what the newer Paranoid ROMs have but I love the fact that you could completely disable the touch key buttons.

Or if there are any other ROMs with the same capability (all though I doubt there is), please tell me, as I have tried all AOSP, AOKP, CM, and Sammy ROMs and have not found this feature again.

Thank you for your time!!!

I know that making a rom takes a very long time but our device seems to only have 5-10 (maybe more) good/stable roms. every one else seems to be getting a lot more love. is it cause we have a miSense device?

So, yes, they're still alive and making roms.

Well, the reason I don't complain is because I can't dev. There's just no time for it. Yeah I get jealous of other forums from time to time, but the alternative is learning how to make my own rom.

I dont say much around here...but man oh man, i have to this time. First of all, a huge thanks to all the devs. I'd go by name but someone deserving would be left out...we may be short on kangs but we've got great roms. I'll take quality over quantity.

I had an ace previously. Dozens and dozens of roms, but they've just repeated themselves. There's only a handful of systems to be ported anyways.

Kernel development on this phone has been off the chains. Anything running on tbalden and kornyone's work has been smooth and slick.

Frankly, I knew when I got the phone that since sliders are kind of niche the scene would be smaller. Used the demo phone in the store to verify that cm was in a complete state. Which it most definitely is. Feeling pretty confidant that cm10/jb will reach completion.

Anyways, I'm probably gonna cry when this phone dies. Maybe you can sell me yours for a spare. Cuz if I ever have to turn mine in on insurance they'll probably try to hand me a different model.
