Been having problems with my Omnia7 since beginning of the year and was hoping Mango with firmware would fix these issues.
This is how it turned out after update...
I can't upload anything to SkyDrive on 3G (I get "The Windows Live ID Service is unavailable at the moment"), if I turn on WiFi it works instantly so there is nothing wrong with my account.
I usually can't download apps from marketplace on 3G, i get "The Windows Live ID Service is unavailable at the moment", if I turn on WiFi it works instantly.
I usually can't post twitts to twitter, I get some connection error. Not sure if that works over WiFi.
I usually cant do statusupdates to the Windows Live feed, I get some connection error. Not sure if that works over WiFi.
Bing search usually doesnt work on 3G. "We cant connect to search at the moment" if I turn on WiFi it works instantly.
When I say usually, thats like 60-90% of the time maybe?
Some of these things actually worked better before the update.
I chat with more people from Sweden with Omnia 7 that are having exact same problems.
(We are also the same people thats been having serious call problems with dropped calls, robot voices and bad call quality. (We have a thread soon reaching 700 posts about that on Swedish Telia forum, started in february, thats how long we have been at it with this on our provider and Samsung, and still not fixed))
Samsung Omnia 7 is really unusable on some networks and by the looks of things Samsung doesnt know how to fix it.
Im just so damn sick of this ****.
It would be nice if Mods didnt move this thread so we can see if any other OEM have any similar problems, thank you.
I'm using an Omnia 7 in Singapore and have not faced the problems you mentioned. You may want to try Samsung's Network Profile tool and reselect your carrier to reset 3G settings.
Yes the Omnia 7 works just great on some networks, if we switch to Three the problems pretty much goes away. This would indicate that there is something wrong with Telia but they have also tested everything and there is no other phone having these problems.
Believe me we have tried everything, we have had our devices at Samsung Service Centers and they have installed "special" firmwares for us etc but nothing solves the issues.
No problems with my Omnia 7 in Australia. It does sound like a carrier issue, honestly. Does internet browsing using 3G work?
There is no point in saying you dont have the problems, we know there are lots of happy Omnia 7 users out there.
But the fact remains the phone doesnt work on some networks.
Here is the old list (taken from the Omnia7-forum) of carriers where users have reported the same issues.
A1 Telekom - Austria
Proximus - Belgium
Mobistar - Belgium
Base - Belgium
Singtel - Singapore
T-mobile - Netherlands
Virgin Mobile - France
Bouygues - France
T-mobile - Germany
T-Mobile - US
Vodafone - Italy
Telenor - Norway
ERA - Poland
Simobil - Slovenia
Keep in mind the list is 6 months old so things might have changed in some places...
It would be interesting to know if VoodooKing is on Singtel?
Change to different carrier? If Telia sucks so bad wouldn't it be logical to change to something else?

Its my employer that uses Telia, I cant change it.
And its not Telia that sucks, telia has the best coverage in Sweden bar none, so its Samsung that sucks and as soon as Nokia delivers and my employer gives me green light to get a new phone this piece of **** goes straight into the wall.
it sucks to hear that your omnia 7 is experiencing these terrible bugs
mine's working perfectly though. omnia 7, not branded, philippines
Mine has the problem of not getting a data connection when I turn it on/off.
I have to end up turning the entire phone off, then back on with data on. That's the only way it'll work 100% of the time.
It does however work at times, but very rarely.
There is a rumour going that Samsung will release a fix for these issues in October.
I'l believe it when I see it though, seeing that we have been complaining to them since february. But maybe the Mango release has given them new energy or whatever?
Crossing fingers here.
I'm having the exact same issues with my Omnia 7 since switching to Telia from Three a few weeks ago.
This might sound absurd and in wrong thread but...
I seem to face same issues with HTC Titan on Giffgaff (uses O2 in the UK).
Could it be the way OS is laid on phones?
I have an omnia7 and a hd7
with the hd7 I don't have any problems with 02 DE
with the omnia7 3g suckes big time , internet not working and MP downloads are working so I know I have 3g but still if I try to IE It don't work

I have the same devices but I don´t have any problems with T-Mobile Germany.
BTW I thought you have sent your HD7 to our all Heathcliff74 ?
Some weeks ago I offered him to send my HD7 via mail too but he didn´t accept my offer because of the risk that the device could get broken for some reasons.
Same issues here, TMobile NL.
Problems keeping/establishing WiFi connection and problems keeping 3G connection. Sometimes have to reset to make it work or airplane mode on/off otherwise full 3g+ bars but no Internet...
Here in holland the 3g coverage is nearly perfect (delft/den haag) and I barely have death spots. Mago improved it, but did not fix it. After a while the device just gets cut off the network. And wifi disables when locked, when unlocking it struggles to reestablish.
The only problem I'm facing is that sometimes sound disappears during phonecalls while the connection
is still in place. I'm on vodafone nl, but this problem is a well known problem with the omnia 7. I used to
have HTC trophy and never experienced this problem. For me this was the last Samsung phone, as with the
last Samsung phones/tabs I had, I experienced nothing but problems and s##t support.

you might want to consider using the diagnosis app to set your connection to a particular band
*#2263# under the diagnosis application will bring up the band selection menu
I used to have the problem of the phone always taking a longer time to get data connection mode. But that was fixed after just a simple move of limiting what the bands the phone would search for to have data connection.

I have never had any issues, I'm using Telia too. Works fine here.

Thanks for this, but Im not able to select 900/1800/2100 which is what I need since our 3g is on 2100 (Netherlands) so if I select 900/1800 ill lose 3g... which is not worth it of course
Hi everyone,
I'm using UGKL1 as the radio for my GNex for a couple of weeks now, nothing's wrong but not great
I wonder if someone who lives in North America (Bell / Rogers / Fido / T-Mobile, etc ..) has recently purchased a GNex. Does it come with a brand new radio ?
Thanks in advance.
Bought mine on Feb 6th... from Bell. It came with UGLK1.

ok i just udated my radio to ugkk7 and it was way faster in every way at my house i have my tmobile galaxy s2 and i only get 2 mbs on the speed test and my galaxy nexus only gets about 1mbs so ater the update my galaxy nexus gets 7mbs sitting in the same spot thats crazy fast so yet u need to update to the latest
I was using UGKL1 for a bit but find I'm getting better signal with XXKK6.. I'm on TBayTel/Rogers in Ontario
Thanks everyone.
Hope we'll get a newer radio soon.
For now, I'm "happy" with UGKL1.
Just caught the news this morning that t-Mobile and orange networks (everything everywhere) are going to roll out 4G in the UK from next month. They are going to use the existing 1800 mhz spectrum.
Question is, will my international HTC One X be compatible? On the spec for the phone, 1800 mhz is compatible over gsm, but will it work with this new 4g?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Its doubtful I would say considering the 4G one x has different hardware
Be interesting if an update could make it work though

Appears they are doing this just in time for the Iphone 5 release date.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
if it supports 1800mhz then i think i would support it. (with possibly a firmware update)
the reason the 4g one x needs different hardware is because the frequencies etc they use for 4g in america are different than in uk, hence the need for different hardware.
NO.
What technologies a phone supports are down to the hardware in it. The phone would need a chip to encode and decode the 4G signals.
The most advanced technology the One X (international) supports is DC-HSDPA which is Dual Cell HSDPA giving a theoretical maximum of 42 Mbit/s.
The phone doesn't have any hardware for LTE and therefore cannot support it with a simple software upgrade.
It won't be rolled out till 2013 most likely, they wouldn't release it out of the blue, most likely iPhone launch time next year

F*** OFF about the Iphone 5 has nothing to do with it! Admittedly the UK needs to update the mobile infrastructure but I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the iphone 5 launch lol. Ministers have been discussing updating the network because it is too slow. I work in retail and we have Mobile card payment terminals and when the network is busy we can't take any payments. So this to me seems more important than the iphone 5 launch. Just my two cents
Curious - there must be some sort of plan/ strategy to allow devices to connect to this network. What is the point if nothing current in the UK could use it without special chips?

Well, it's a chicken, egg scenario.
This is soo.... The 4g LTE 1800 is in Portugal since january of this year. The uk soffer some delay. Nothing about iphone 5 cause this delay!

Everything Everywhere have apparently been working with Huawei on USB / MiFi modems to make use of the network, which is estimated to be ready around October.
It is also worth noting that Three have now been sold some capacity from Everything Everywhere - but they are not allowed to use it until September 2013.... which seems a bit pointless.....

The whole decision from ofcom seems dodgy to me,
O2 have been running a 4G trial for a year now and the first UK network to do so, but ofcom only gave permission to Orange/T-mobile?
What's going on, I do agree that it creates unfair competition to give permission to someone but not others.

I don't miss the UK much regards to net speeds and such. Had 4G LTE here in Denmark for a good year now already. Good to see UK catching up.
Bit unfair that everything everywhere will have a huge advantage over the other providers until next year when the 4G auction comes around

They'll almost certainly roll it out in phases - it will get SOME press but not enough to stun the nation etc. There'll be some limited devices / dongles and possibly test handsets using it - whilst it's debugged and the glitches ironed out...
THEN
They'll wait for a flagship device (like the iPhone) and launch a huge marketing campaign claiming to be the fastest and only 4G network etc etc. Possibly even have an exclusive launch of a device for a month or two before other carriers get the flagship device.
They might also have some services launching at the same time (VoD or similar) - but we shall see.

Apparently most of the kit is already in place, they have been installing it into existing towers for the last several months - probably because they knew that OFCOM could only ever approve it or risk backlash from "delaying the roll out of superfast broadband across the nation"
The Government and OFCOM have already admitted that Mobile Broadband will make up a large part of the UK Broadband rollout - and in particular in rural areas is essentially the most cost effective option. For instance in Greenlaw in the Scottish Borders where I am, we get full Freeview, DAB, SKY, Freesat and I connect to the exchange at 8128k - but there are no street cabinets - we connect direct to the exchange, the only thing BT could ever do to bring Fibre to our village would be FTTP and do you really think BT are going to spend that sort of money for 43 business lines and 423 residential ones..... Meanwhile I get a pretty decent Three UK mobile signal which I rely on whenever Freedom2Surf/Pipex/Tiscali/Opal/Talk Talk (I have no idea who I'm with now - they have been taken over too many times) falls over and generally gets me lower pings and higher bandwidth than my fixed broadband does. If Three offered Unlimited broadband (like they do on the One Plan) that could be used to host servers and connect all my computers too for around £25p/m I would drop the fixed line in a flash and go Mobile.....
4G mobile broadband from Three (or anyone to be honest - but none of the other networks offer anything faster than 2G where I am) could be a very viable option for people who don't have any alternatives Lets face it - I'm looking at around 2020 if I have to rely on BT....
Can't wait for 4G In UK but I have a feeling once it's been out for a while and most people have 4G capable phones it will be dog slow just like 3g

What you said doesn't make sense.
It is 4G, it is LTE, it will be on 1800MHz, and it won't work with the Tegra3 One X.

Could anyone with this device provide me the stock values for the following, Next LTE Scan, BSR Timer, BSR Max Time. You can obtain the values by entering ##3282# on the dialer, Under Advanced menu, Values are at the bottom. Thanks
That code came up as invalid on my 973

Thanks, do any of you guys know how the LTE signal strength with this phone compares to the S3 or Note 2 or Nexus? measure of RSRP
Should be about the same as the note 2 since both use the same radio, although Samsung makes weak radios though and according to the FCC (the U.S.'s Federal Communication Commission, which has to approve all things over U.S. radio waves), the optimus g has very strong signal compared to its competition. The only better signal was from Motorola, who is known for great radios, but apparently, the Optimus has better radio performance than HTC and Samsung products.

Do you have a link to the FCC webpage that states the specs of its findings about the optimus G
See no difference with Galaxy S3 LTE.
But wi-fi is really weak, dunno why.

I'll have to find it again. It was for the CDMA version, but I bet the same applies, since the radio hardware is comparable across the devices (and the exact same on the Note II), but LG outperformed all of them (and was about on par with Motorola, who traditionally makes the best radios.

If anyone uses Optimus G (Korea) then can press 5457#*180#
Hi,
I bought a LG Optimus G E975 from the website kogan.au. When I got the phone, it looks like it's not for Australia market - the language was set to Chinese, and so was the user guide. Then I flashed the Avatar ROM from this forum.
Everything works fine except that whenever I use 3G mobile network, the speed is extremely slow, e.g. 13kb/s - it brings me to the stone age. Even I am with Telstra, the biggest service provider in Australia, I cannot get 4G everywhere - only a part of Sydney region has got it. So I have to rely on 3G network. This is very painful. I have 1GB download quota per month but I can barely use it.
After some googling, I have discovered that LG Optimus G E975 only supports HSDPA 900 / 2100 for 3G netowork, while Telstra network 3G operates at HSDPA 850 / 2100, and lots of area doesn't have access to HSDPA 2100. I believe this is the cause of my slow 3G network speed.
Does anyone has experience of how to resolve my issue, i.e. how to speed up my 3G browsing?
Thanks for help in advance.

Lots of CM based Roms are having troubles with Wi-fi /3G (that's my experience). Try flashing the Epsilon rom (not cm based) and see if it helps

Thanks, mate.
Telstra uses mostly 850Mhz on UMTS. From start, your phone is wrong. And you won't be able to use 4G either. Don't know the laws in Australia,but here in Europe we have 10 working days(30 in some cases) to return a product. Also, you could contact the seller and tell him your issue. He sold you an useless phone.
Another thing you can do is to check the apn's.The speed you mention is like GPRS/EDGE.

It's already a few month since I bought the phone, so I am not sure I can return this product to the seller.
Anyway, I have learned my lesson.
Thanks very much.
I would definitely recommend checking your APN settings as @kimitza suggests.
