Absolutely agree with you as you have described precisely what my symptoms are.

Hopefully if enough people complain to T-Mobile about it, they might actually admit there is a problem and fix it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Taz69:
Maybe the delays are because http traffic is proxied

Maybe the delays are because http traffic is proxied....

It looks like Orange are operating a proxy or some other form of protection. A few weeks ago I discovered that they had something in place to restrict access to adult sites, wouldn't have bothered me other than the site I was trying to visit was xda-developers.com.

Even followed their link to get the site unblocked and got a nice little responce stating "Your request has been actioned and the content is confirmed as only suitable for customers over the age of 18." before getting their filtering disabled.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Gavin01:
Exactly how i seem to find it, either it works or doesnt. There seems to be nothing u can do either to make it work, reboot, change from UTMS to 2g ot what ever. Nothing has any bearing and its most annoying, tbh i wish id never got the universal now as its a huge piece of junk, or at least the t- mobile ones are. Ive used a 02 one and its just soooooooooooooo much faster in everything.

im using the latest rom and even after flashing its still sluggish before anything is installed.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adam_beasley:
Having been in a T-Mobile 3G area most of today (Loughborough, Leicestershire) the service itself has been as quick as ive ever used it, getting around 270k on a fairly medium signal.

The times it hasnt worked (long first time loading) it has returned to me with a server or IP error. I just assume that as web'n'walk is unlimited, but has restrictions on use, that the servers are overloaded trying to monitor or prevent certain services working.

Its been picking up a bit lately tho, im suffering the waiting times less and less each time I try. Tho 3G UMTS has really sucked the life out of my battery today, it may be best I keep it on 2G instead.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Haven't noticed any of these problems on T-Mobile in and around London. Have you all removed your "Content Lock"?

As mentioned earlier by Taz69, connection may be slowed down by the T-Mobile servers checking to see if you're 'allowed' to visit various sites?

I disabled my content lock ages ago using 'My T-Mobile' on www.t-mobile.co.uk - give it a go if you haven't already, it may make a difference?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StuBFrost:
My content is unlocked and always has been so it isn't that umfortunately.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] QuaCKeReD:
So, Im not the only one :roll: Do you get the problem where it can take 30+ secs to switch between GRPS and 3G too?

Also, I spoke to T-Mobile about slow speeds and lack of connetivity - I can hardly get a signal in my office, although I am sat across road from a T-Mobile mast!!!

They said that as the mast across road was congested, my device was connecting via a mast further away (I like the idea of it not trying to get on a congested mast, but distance causes problems with connectivity too :roll: )

Other thing they pointed out was, if you call them with the postcode that has the problem, it gets logged...enough logs and they escalate it ;) (I'm up to 6 logs in my postcode now lol)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PC_Arcade:
How can I tell if it's switching? Mine says "Connected (GPRS, 3G)"

Since (re)removing the lock it does seem significantly faster though :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adam_beasley:
If your connected via standard GPRS then the connected logo at the top of the screen will have a G on it, if your connected via 3G GPRS then it changes to a U (for UTMS).

Ive always had a delay swapping between the 2, yesterday my 3G signal kept dropping so it would switch back to 2G, and it kept doing this so much I couldnt get any internet for about 5 mins. I know you can turn the UMTS band off, but this makes buying a 3G phone pointless.

I have content lock off since day one, and its always been fast. Today theres been bo problems with the service at all, fast logon, good speed connections etc.

Seems a random thing lately, but its only been lately. Its been fine for a few months before, so hopefully its somthing there working on and it slowly getting sorted.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] o_street_uk:
The problems could be down to the pay and go users Web and talk, for a max of £1 per day they get unlimited internet, see t-mobile for more info, this could be eating servers bandwith within certain areas, i was able to logon this morning, but after 9am i keep getting page cannot be found errors, The little u and the 2 arrows show me I'm conneted but i cant load any pages, I hope this is the case and t-mobile sort this out asap
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tonywob:
I have had the same problem now for around a month. I am using Opera 8.60 and it takes around 1 minute to actually resolve the host name. Sites with adverts on take forever. I contacted T-Mobile and they said that the signal in my area is really good and there shouldn't be a problem. They told me to take the sim card out, wait 30 seconds and then reinsert it, and then try.

I have not yet had any luck, and it seems to be the same throughout the country, as I was in Cornwall over the weekend on holiday and it was just as bad.

P.S. I am in Liverpool, and I have a full 5 bar umts signal.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adam_beasley:
Seems at some point everyone gets this issue and in all areas of the country.

I have sent a fault report to t-mobile earlier today detailing the problem.

If you experience this problem I would recommend that you report this fault to t-mobile and get this issue under investigation by them. The more there told the more serious they may take it.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] prusling:
Is there a proxy setting that should be used with T-Mobile 3G/GPRS?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adam_beasley:
T-Mobile replied today with the following...

Sorry to hear you have experienced difficulty in using the GPRS service, The service its self was going through a software upgrade and has now been resolved, If you preform a soft reset on the device a re try the issue should be resolved,

If you still are experiencing the issue tomorrow then please try your sim in different device and then reply to this email with the result

Hope this information helps

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StuBFrost:
Is the problem resolved for you ? I thought it was for me because it was fine last night and first thing this morning but it soon went back to rubbish again.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] QuaCKeReD:
Ideally, need to stay away from proxying (at least via the provider) - it will on add a delay.

Sounds feasible, apart from every time I call I get told the same thing....so far T-Mobile having been upgrading software on their GPRS service constantly for 2 months :roll:

Im investigating the possiblity of setting up seperate DNS servers through my SDSL connection :P
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adam_beasley:
Been ok so far, but as I work nights I dont really try it much in the day, so might have different results. I will keep trying it and see if its better or not.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PC_Arcade:

I'm using 3G here in the Philippines.

SMART Prepaid I get 290kbps same area rate is PhP10.00/30 mins. of usage

--

Globe has crap 3G just got off the phone with their 'customer service' and the only reply I got from the rep was... we are constantly upgrading. It really sucks since my contract won't be up til October.

--

Since I get crap UMTS while the phone is on AUTO [band selection] I have difficulties making and receiving calls. I set my Exec to GSM when I have my Globe SIM in it.

So far no slowdowns with SMART I guess cause only a few people really connect to the net using 3G ATM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] stualpha:
ok digging up an old thread here.

I was wondering if you guys had this problem resolved?

I was on o2 and the first page load delay started happening not long after I flashed to a new rom (infact not sure if it was a radio rom) I just left it basically as it didn't bother me too much.

I've just moved to Three and the long locating time still happens so I gave here a search and it seems T-Mobile users had the same problem.

Is this a network issue or a device/sofware issue ? As i've been on O2 (same problem) and Three (same problem) it would suggest an issue with the device.

Do you guys still have your long waiting times?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] franklinromeo:
i do. it actually doesn't move past the locating stage.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] stualpha:
Ok, I think this is a PIE issue.

Using opera pages load straight away, however in PIE locating is on for ages whenever I goto a different domain or load a domain for the first time.

It's very annoying.

[Verizon LG G2] csoki123:
Hi, I purchased an LG G2 2 months ago from Verizon and it was working great as a mobile hotspot until it updated to android 4.4.2. Now when I go to connect my Mac Book it either times out connecting or gives an invalid password error. I have talked to Verizon and LG tech support who have essentially had me reset the password a few dozen times to no avail. They are now telling me I should contact apple as it must be an issue with my MacBook, The hotspot does not work with my other Android or Windows based devices either and at this point it seems pretty obvious that it is not simply my macbook. Any advice? I rely heavily on the hotspot capability for my work and am unsure where to turn as each company seems to push me off on the next, resulting in a big circle of no solutions. Hoping some help will come from here! Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] frackingdren:
Have you tried going into the application manager in control panel, swiping left a couple of times until you're in the all column. Look for com.lge.mobilehotspot.ui then clear data and cache if it isn't greyed out.

Then try to configure your hotspot application all over again.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] doverjosh8:
I'm currently debating whether to get the Galaxy Note 2. I do have the Galaxy Note 3 and I basically wanted to try out the Galaxy Note 2 to see the difference. I've heard good and bad reviews, but I'm not entirely sure if it's going to suit my needs of messaging, social networking, calling and occasionally gaming. Is this phone worth the money and what features does it include which make it better than other phones?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pvaldeben:
Note 2 is awesome. I gave mine to my wife then got LG Flex but camera and screen was better on note 2 so I ended up returning the LG and got a second hand Note 2 again.

Why would you down grade, are you still in the retune period??

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Avocet:
Please check my facts ... here's the deal. Last week, I was about to pull the trigger on a Verizon deal for a pair of HTC One (M7s) as an Anniversary gift for me and wifey. My spouse thought she surprise me first and well, she did. She picked up the HTC (M7) and got me a new Verizon S4 (4.3) on contract.

Now I'm all caught up on 4.4.2 KitKat issues on the S4 ( of course, after I bought a 32gb extSD) and the various ways of rooting (too many to count now) and etc. etc. etc.

A very tardy 4.4.x for Verizon is rumored to be here in a couple of weeks. Will this OTA break the LOKI bootloader bypass? I love both of the phones and am a Touchwiz fan to a degree, but I'm wondering what the future may hold.

Is this a waiting game for now? I wonder if I could return the S4 (after 2 weeks) by bringing to light the absurdity of selling [sic] anyone a phone with SD card designs that are compromised to a large degree (I know, not completely) ....

Thanks in advance.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Avocet:
Sorry its an MK2. Again, is LOKI dead with 4.4.2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Loki was only for MDK.

Anything after can be rooted and install SafeStrap. The official Verizon 4.4.2 isn't out yet but there is a leaked version as well as a method to update to it from mk2 and keep root.

Just do a lot of research before jumping into anything that you may not be able to come back from.

Which ROM did you flash and with which method?

If you installed the AOSP ROM, the sd card is concidered by the phone as internal storage and all 8gb (7.something avtually) of the phone's internal storage are available for installing apps

Is that the case?

You have the aosp rom indeed?

If not, what is yhe rom?

Can you get into recovery mode?

I keep trying to update using ota but keep getting the message that it's exceeded the maximum amount of updates. I've since installed kies in my PC But can't figure out what the next step is.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jgaf:
Well, once you connect your device to your PC and run Kies 3 you should get a prompt that there is an update available. After that just follow the instructions, which are pretty much clicking Ok and I Agree. It is weird that you are not getting the prompt. Are you in the USA? Are you rooted? If you aren't having luck with Kies 3 or OTA updates, then you could try downloading the FW from one of the link in this forum and flashing it through ODIN.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Jackal239:
Hello all, long time lurker here with a couple if questions. Not new to rooting: I've rooted an HTC Inspire, HTC One X, and finally this bad boy. This is definitely a different experience and there seems to be a lot of info that developers assume you know but even after reading everything recommended I still feel very confused. I am on the MDL baseband, rooted and flashed with the 4.3 GPE version which I think was pulled from a nexus variant. Here are my questions:

1) Are there any stock, rooted, Touch Wiz ROMs with the AT and T bloat removed?

2) What does Loki do, and if not explicitly stated that it's used in a ROM, do I install it before flashing the ROM or after?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
There's plenty, and you can flash ROMs from any S4 variant though you might need to flash an at&t kernel. Loki is our method to bypass the locked bootloader, and if you flash a ROM without it then it won't boot.
