I'm quoting myself in order to remind you of my original comment and issues with 3G internet connection. You asked for a further description and I just want to give you that. Sorry, that it took so long but I observed it the last two weeks in order to test it several times and confirm the characteristics to be significant and not some kind of placebo.

From what I've experienced, the situation definitely improved a lot! Though, I can't tell you if this relates to the usage of your app or it might be a general improvement of my carrier. Sadly, I still get no constant internet connection even though connection seems to be stable and reception is great. Things that I can tell you:

- Turning airplane mode on and off solves this problem

- Switching between 2G and 3G solves this, too.

- It only occurs on 3G. Everything works just fine on 2G.

- Switching between airplane mode and 2G/3G solves it but just for some minutes. Sometimes it only lasts some seconds.

- I'm not sure but as far as I observed, the connection never interrupts while there is a data exchange. I can download big files (>500 mb) or constantly stream music without beeing affected.

- Active Reconnection is always activated. Active Keep Alive is deactivated most of the time since it doesn't prevent the appearance of the issue and then just reports Ping Failed.

- Losing mobile connection sometimes causes your app to force close in background.

I hope this might help you. In fact I don't know if the improvements come from your app but I still want to thank you for your efforts.
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Welcome!. Seems like your only post. Did you register only to say thank you? Thanks a lot.

You can also use the thanks button. :)

Thank you for your feedback. Battery drain is low and will become lower with upcoming updates, especially for higher ping intervals.

You're welcome. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Thank you for the information.

Are you using the latest version with "reset on failure"?

And you didn't mention whether switching data on and off solves your problem. Please clear it.

Based on the valuable information you have provided, future version of the app will attempt to fix your problem.
[Android Apps and Games] spupuz:
i do always switch to 2g once screen of and switch off data when in wifi, does this app can be useful also for me for boosting mobile data?

anyway the UI is UGLY.
[Android Apps and Games] iapps:
I second that feature request. It is quite useful for those of us owning several websites which we have to keep an eye on. Your app can double as both keeping the connection active and notifying the user if it gets no response to pings for some time. Very useful app!
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Yes, it can improve your overall mobile data experience if you are facing some problem with your connection. Your SUGGESTIONS for improving the UI will he highly appreciated.

Several websites? So your want pinger to iterate through a user defined list, right? Can be done. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] iapps:
[MENTION=5235790]ms.goofy[/MENTION]

Yes, a list of several sites will be quite nice :good:
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
It will be added with upcoming updates.
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Can anybody help with translations?
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
An update in on the way with enhancements and power saving features.
[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
u want feature i got u some features

ability to change dns (rom toolbox has some good dns,,, google norton etc etc)

u know... the ui holofie it

i got more soon for you but great app.
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Thank you. This will be a good feature.

Will include it in future updates.
[Android Apps and Games] mokkami:
Great app, thank you very much. Just using it since 20 minutes and it at least feels like something has been improved.

But one thing.......the ping always fails. Even right now.
[Android Apps and Games] MARKBOARD NETSET:
Awesome app :good: I hope my 3G will be boosted on my tab 2 P3100 ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Regarding ping failures, are you behind a firewall? What type of connection are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] mokkami:
It seems not to be a firewall issue. I use 2g/3g network on Vodafone India. It is also not related to xprivacy. Or something else.
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Are you using any kind of proxy with protocol or port restrictions? Is your device Moto G XT1032? Which OS/ROM are you using? Any other observations? It will be helpful if you could send me logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] LetsGoGames:
Not bed, but I think you need to do something with interface design! Because its a face of your app, but now its really dirty...
[Android Apps and Games] mokkami:
I am not using any proxy. Yes i have a Moto G XT1032. I am using Stock Rom 4.4.3. I have absolutely no idea why this happens. I will flash it fresh and then i'll check it again. If this issue still appears i'll provide you a logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Any particular suggestions for interface improvement?

Okay. Let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] LetsGoGames:
Just use a flat UI, Now its looking like in 90s...
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
You can disable transparency from settings. Will try to make improvements over time.

Few Suggestions

Please give an option for a paid version, so that one can get rid of ADs in the app.

You can keep the amount of paid version as to be decided by the user.

In latest version, time is not specified after which the data connection is stopped when screen is off !!

You can give the auto disconnect after idle time options to the user, where idle time is decided by the user.

Also , i want to know once the data is disconnected on screen off, is there a built in time interval, when it will connect to the internet and check for app updates/notifications.? and if i install an app to turn on data connection at specific intervals even while screen-off , will your app's screen off settings interfere ?
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Thank you for you suggestions. We'll try to incorporate them gradually.

Data is not disconnected by the app on screen off, only the keep alive is stopped to save battery. The app will reconnect data connection as soon as your other app disconnects it if Active Reconnect is activated. If only Active Keep Alive is on, depending on the settings, no interference should be caused.
[Android Apps and Games] shhbz:
Well truely this app seems legit and constant full bar on wifi and network will test more tomrw as to see if call drop is even solved and would love to see a less battery drain that could help my nexus5.

A better ui and paid version would be great with no ads
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Thanks for sharing your experience and for giving nice suggestions.:)
[Android Apps and Games] androidarissa:
Nice App Thanks You!
[Android Apps and Games] shhbz:
wow what service provider couldn't do this app solve the issue for me I was facing frequent network drop on call but this solved it all even my network provider gave up saying we can't give service to my location so issue will be there but this solved it all.

gracious :good::good::good:
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Thank you for sharing your experience. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ezwanmir:
i love this app... at my place the signal bar only 2 or 3 bar.. but with this app i got full bar! thank you!! :o
[Android Apps and Games] Droidphilev:
I have the same kind of problem too. At home i get a good signal on 3G but the difference is that i can't make calls either and when some one calls me they get my voicemail. Does this also helps for being reachable for phone calls?

For now i switch to 2G at home and then it works fine.

(phone/connection work just fine when in other area by the way)
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
It's not meant for that but it might have some indirect effect. You can try and find out.

That's great! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Droidphilev:
Will do, thanks

I think the problem is exactly this:

There are 2 cells in my neighbourhood. One is 2G only (closest tower), the other one is UMTS. Since the phone measures a good signal from the UMTS tower it refuses to switch to the 2G-tower that is nearer. The only question is: why does it measure a good signal while this UMTS-tower is (too?) far away.
[Android Apps and Games] Batu73:
Update don't work...

Sorry but I use Samsung GT-S7710 with Android 4.1.2. I can't update my rom cause it's a phone from my enterprise.

The last version 1.2.2. work. Do you have the 1.2.2 apk plz ? Or an update ?

The probleme is : in app, mobile data stay "on" even the data from the phone is "off"... But we just use wifi intranet...

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Just deactivate Active Keep Alive and then turn off mobile data from your phone settings. It should work fine.

If not, you can have the old apk.
[Android Apps and Games] Batu73:
But I need this fonction Keep Alive always. Because we use a lot of Wifi Hotpost with my job... Can you send me the previous version ?
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Just send me your email id or send a mail asking for previous apk from in app help.
[Android Apps and Games] razz1:
I am using this on my Sprint GS3. Sprint service just sucks in my area but this app has created a far more reliable connection with a good solid signal. TBH I wasn't expecting much from this app but you really knocked it out the park! Excellent work!
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
That's great. Thank you. :)

sweet. thank you for your work. DL now.:thumbup:

err on the side of kindness
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
You're welcome. :)
[Android Apps and Games] mbmb8989:
Great App ! I really feel a difference :) just a little problem : even if i checked the "AutoStart" option in the Keep Alive settings the app does not reactivate itself when the phone turns on.. When i open the Applications settings and go to Background Services i can see that the app is stucked in the state (Rebooting) with 0 MB as size. So i have to open manually the app and click on the Keep Alive to reactivate it and it would be perfect if i could manage to get it do by itself.

Anyway i m on Lg g2 cloudyg3 rom (2.0). Tell me if you need some sort of log :)

Edit 1 : I managed to have a force close on the app when the phone turned off and i immediately turned it on, unfortunately i couldn't do a screenshot but i could open the stack trace and see a NullPointerException on the class PingerService.

Edit 2 ; Just want to add that the problem seems to occur when the phone is idle from long time (when idle from 5-10 minutes seems fine) anyway ..
[Android Apps and Games] x3dnd3x:
Possible to attach .apk file? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Thank you for appreciation. Regarding the problem, it may be due to some ram clearing feature of your rom or something. It will be great it you could send me the logcat output. :)

You can get it from Opera Mobile Store. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] mbmb8989:
Ok ! Regarding the fact that the problems occurs when the phone is idle from a long time should i send you an entire log (that covers let's say an hour of deep sleep) ?

PS : I think also that this may be related to the rom because i may have noticed the same behaviour with other apps (like facebook, etc..) where the app, even if it was in recents, had to be loaded entirely again. Anyway that was only a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Yes you can send the entire log or you can filter the logs and send the logs for this app only.

If you don't usually get any app not responding or crash message, its might be possible that the app is being silently killed by something.
[Android Apps and Games] mbmb8989:
here you go : https://s3.amazonaws.com/pushbullet...bSdaPx3W2QQhlRI0QwNKD/2014-11-16-22-15-32.txt

I hope that this helps :)

If something is missing or i did not catch the problem within the log please let me know so i can try again !
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Thank you. I gave if a glance and it seems like you have captured the problem. I am guessing this log is for the case when the app silently dies in the background when phone is not being used. Let me know if it's not the case.

I'll update you once I've done a thorough analysis.
[Android Apps and Games] mbmb8989:
You resumed it perfectly ! Looking forward to your reply! :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Can't access the txt file anymore. It shows access denied. Send it again, please.
[Android Apps and Games] mbmb8989:
Yes of course sorry for the inconvenience !

The file is attached. You should open it with Chrome if notepad does not display it correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Thanks. It will be fixed soon with an update. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
I believe that this issue has been fixed. As I am unable to replicate the problem at my end, I'd like you to test it before rolling out the update. Would you be able to test if I send you the fixed apk file? You help will be highly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] mbmb8989:
Yes of course ! Just send me the APK and i'll test it tomorrow ! I'll give you my feedback after a day of usage. And thank you for your time !
[Android Apps and Games] schwartz.matthew.e:
This may be a dumb question, but will this keep the phone from going into deep sleep and thus killing battery life?

The biggest need I have for this app is that Verizon, once switched to 3g CDMA, holds there without a reboot sometimes. Very irritating.

Thanks for your hard work Dev!
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Thanks a lot. Please check your messages.

No, it won't prevent deep sleep. Actually, it itself sleeps to save power when you phone sleeps. Just make sure in-app Power Saver setting is turned on.

I've got a very different and very customized galaxy s4. If I install this and it messes something up can it be uninstalled fully so it will be exactly as it was before? It has customizations that can only be done with the DFS cdmatool and I don't want to have to mess with that anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] dpatel20:
Hi -

I have just come across this app and would like to understand how best to use it. My problem: I'm using a Nexus 4 and my connection drops to 2G too often (too aggressive to drop to 2G even though there is a 3G signal). When I switched my sim into a Samsung SII, I found that my connection stayed on 3G (HSPA) much more.

I want to use my N4 rather than the SII, so I hope this app can help. Can this app help me to stay on 3G more rather than dropping to 2G? If so, which settings should I enable?

I should mention, with my N4 withOUT this app, when I am on 2G and use data (e.g. use browser) the connection does NOT change up to 3G even where I know there is a (reasonable) 3G connection.

PS: is this app still in development?
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
Why not just set your phone to wcdma only and it will only use 3g?
[Android Apps and Games] dpatel20:
I have tried setting to WCDMA only and that does work but I do go into areas where there is no 3G signal at all. In which case I have no signal at all. I was hoping this app would somehow force it to stay on 3G for longer but the phone would still drop to 2G if necessary. The SII seems to have a more aggressive means of keeping it on 3G and only drops to 2G if really needed.

What I also noticed with the SII was if I was on 2G, I would still be able to use data (albeit slow) - for example, Google Maps would still work. But with the N4, in the same 2G area it's just not usable (e.g. Maps will say 'not available' or something).

Not had chance to test the app whilst out and about yet.
[Android Apps and Games] gsawicki:
Airplane mode during call

Hi

I have a problem. If there is a problem with 3g connection Connection Stabilizer will turn on Airplane Mode to restore connection. But if the problem occurs during phone call, turning one Airplane Mode will disconnect the call. I there any option to disable reconnecting by Airplane Mode during phone calls? It's really annoying (it happens to me 2 times for a few days)

[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
Yes, it can be uninstalled fully. Simply uninstall.

You should use Active Keep Alive and adjust ping interval for best results.

You can disable refresh radio in settings. If issue persists in with latest update, it will be fixed in next update.

Try with new version 2.2.0. It will solve above mentioned problems.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi, first of all thanks for making this app.

I have a unique problem. My ISP throttles my 3G connection to 8 KB/s after a certain amount of data (around 75MB). If I turn my connection off and on, the speed will be restored till the next 75MB or such.

I've tried contacting them and they said there are too much users here that's why.

Is there anyway to disconnect and reconnect my data connection when the speed goes below some KB/s?
[Android Apps and Games] ms.goofy:
As of now, the app can do this if the connection stalls (speed goes to 0). For this you need to use Active Keep Alive and have Reset on Failure option turned on in Active Keep Alive settings.

Your problem is unique and it is the first time I have heard of this. The app may be updated to reset the connection when speed falls below a threshold but only if many users need this. Also rooted device will be needed for this to work on android 5 and above.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Sure ? I will ask my ISP, they might have something on there side. Excellent work with the app though, works well with my other SIM.

All the best.

Hello, I have some problem with 4g connection on galaxy A10. If signal is bad - connection drops from 4g to 2g, and go back only if finding really good signal. I trying to force connection type on 4g with another app - it's working good in the places with bad signal, but I can't get phone calls with it.

Can I make force reconnection with your app, when connection drops to 2g? Or may be you can make the same function in the future updates?

Hey, mind sharing what app you are using to do this?

I have the same situation when I ride the train it will get stuck on 2g and will not return to 4g.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] TheBigL:
Are you sure this is the correct answer?

Asking because if I turn on airplane mode on and then off my phone gets connected to the 4g network for a while until it returns to 3g.

Thanks for answering.
[Android Apps and Games] TheBigL:
Thanks, very informative.

So the calculation to which network to switch to is mostly handled by how much power is drawn, did I get it right?

What if I don't care about power consumption and only want the highest speeds?

Is it some hardware limitation that cannot be changed?

I am very interested in this because my daily train to and back from work are mostly internet-less. I would like to improve this if possible.
