Develop Bugs

What's going on with my 4G/3G speed?

So, for the past week or two weeks my G2's Internet/data speed has gon' tremondously slow.
I'm talking about,I feel like I got a metro phone unless I have wi-fi.
My G2 has always bin running excellent ,until now its bin acting like its on edge.
I've switched my Radio,ROM and Kernels and still the problem seems to exist.
I've tried so manytimes and my market downloads take up to 30 minutes to download and my youtube loads so slow....I don't watch it anymore unless I'm at home on wi-fi.
Has any one bin experiancing this? Anybody can tell me how to fix this problem? Much appriciated.
Oh and, the 4G/H icon still shows..
Thanks.

Did you get a text message from T-mobile saying your data has been throttled?
-Kiyo

Yeah, sounds like you might be getting throttled.

Yeap, that's what it is... I remember getting that text.
Is there anything to do about it?
Thanks.

There isn't really that much you can do. I know there is a thread somewhere in development that will show you how stop being throttled but not sure if it would work if they already started doing it. Luckily for me I get that message every month but my speeds stay exactly the same.

Ahh, I know what thread you're talking about.
I follow those instructions and it also stopped happening for me for a good while even with the text messages thrown at me, but now it started doin' it..
I guess i'll try that again.
thanks, that helped alot my friend.

Sounds like tmobile is throttling the speeds. I have used way over 5GB and they are saying they are throttling me, but I'm still getting fast speeds.

It blows my mind on how much data people use as I don't even get close to that and I surf ALOT. Prolly because I'm on wifi alot.

The fact that your on wifi is exactly why you don't even come close to using that much data. I also got a text from them and I'm still getting fast speeds. I average about 5mbps. I've also hit 15+mbps three times. I've tried posting pics but have been unsuccessful. I'm using shootme but every time I try to upload I get a "wrong extension" message. Not sure why it's happening now,but I was able to upload fine before.

What gets me is how you clearly have an unlimited plan, but will be throttled. I understand you still technically have internet after being throttled, but that is damn ridiculous.

[Q] Using wireless tethering on Verizon?

Hey guys, I just switched to Verizon, got a Nexus, and rooted it. I was wondering just how easy is it to get caught by Verizon if I use the wireless tether apk? I'd appreciate it if someone posted their experiences with it. Thanks!

I use it all the time and have never got an email in the past 2 years, and I use at least 5-10GB a month.

this is the first time i use it constantly . because of the 4G speeds. i havent got a email or a text from them.
before i had it with my incredible but hardly use it, because of the slow 3G speeds.

Alright thanks! This is actually my first experience with android on a phone (other one was CM7 on my Nook Color) and I had just always read that you get lots of sudden charges so its good to have peace of mind.

Sorry for the bump, I've got one more question. Wireless tether seems to give me a much higher data usage reading than the settings app in ICS. After using it a bit it said I used 500kb while the settings app reported that I used 1 KB. Is there a reason for this?

If you're really stupid about how much you use it, they will catch on but if you're smart about it you can get away with it a lot.

noob here . I looked around here , but cant find much about installing all these different things. Id like wifi tethering to work . I only need it very seldom but would like to have it when i do . How do you install?
thanks , Dan

I am using pre111 and its working fine. Are you rooted?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Yeah im rooted and running ARHD 2.1.2
I will try pre111. Thanks.

Hmm well I am just running stock 4.0.2 and it runs fine. The only issue is after I turn off wireless tethering the phone crashes. A restart fixes it though.

Hmm that's odd. Maybe some incompatibility with ARHD? Did you move to pre111?
On a side note, how is ARHD compared to stock?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I did go to pre111 and got the exact same errors
It could be ARHD related as i thought this also but dont feel like flashing back to stock right now
As for stock v/s ARHD comparison, I wasnt on stock long enough to compare

Alright, so I just flashed ARHD onto my Nexus and wifi tether is still working fine. Did you give it super user permissions?

Of course i did silly
Im running radio 4.03
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403133

Wifi Tether will not work with 4.03. I consistantly get errors in the startup log. Even worse, when on wifi at home im fine and my signal icons are blue meaning im connected to google servers. But if i disconnect off wifi and use my cellular 3G connection my signal icons stay grey and will not turn blue.
I had to flash back to 4.02 and instantly got blue icons on 3G and now my Wifi Tether works.

USB port is defective??

My brother owns a Samsung Conquer and the phone started prompting to choose what type of connection he wanted (charging,usb ect). It would also turn off and on by itself but do it constantly. I tried resetting it but it still doesn't work. I have tep but on my e4gt. What are my best options? Will Sprint want to charge me for fixing it? Thanks in advance for your POSITIVE suggestions

What????? Also YOU probably should look up sprint's policy on servicing devices experiencing hardware failure as opposed to posting nonsense in the wrong forum about a topic that can be better answered by looking at 1. Sprints website 2. Sprint online chat 3. Sprint telephone support (*2 from your sprint device!) or 4. By any employee at a sprint store... just saying... should all of those options fail there's this new thing they tell me the kids are calling "the google's", that may also help...

Why do you guys have to be such snooty little bags of DICKS? Just answer his damn question. Or nevermind, I will....
Sprint is now packing in an app called Sprint Connection Optimizer on many of the latest OTA updates. This will make it check for the best connection to use in this order: (Wi-Max Market) Wi-Fi, 4G, 3G; (Non-WiMax market): Wi-Fi, 3G. This is an effort to free up capacity on the data network for people who are just stuck on 3G cruise control when they don't realize better connections are available around them, such as WiFi or WiMax. Our 3G network is starting to vomit all over itself, so while we wait for the long-term solution (Network Vision) to roll out, they are using the Sprint Connections Optimizer as a short-term band-aid solution.
Comprende?

For Tapatalk I had to turn off notifications for PMs(as I never get them anyhow) to make this go down dramatically.

Turn off location services for google apps. Sign out of Google talk if you're not already. Try that and see if it helps.

Dude read posts.
Turn off any notifications like Tapatalk, Facebook, etc...
Google settings like location services.
Learn hpw to manage apps and close them out properly. Every once in a while I'll go through TouchWiz Manager and end all apps even though I know some of the apps I haven't even opened or they might just still been opened up.
Like I said your maps app is taking location which kills your battery faster.
Your email app is probably on auto sync which means it's constantly syncing itself constantly on a connection that is constantly getting information back and forth hence killing your battery.
Beautiful widgets if that is also on auto sync which means it's taking your connection again and constantly syncing for info and data.

So if I disable auto sync and all that, will I get the notifications late or not at all?

Not at all. Its not too much of a big deal I mean I just still go into my email app and just hit refresh just to see if there's anything new and is much better for battery life than having to be on auto sync because Its not constantly having to sync every second.

I suggest going to the link in my signature and reading the ENTIRE OP. You will then better understand these specific wakelocks and how to better manage them.

How Many Apps Do You Install On Your Phone?

Plain and Simple. How Many apps do you have installed on your Phone, Not Including System Apps
Also If you Don't Mind Listing them.

One hundred something. I don't know the exact number off the top of my head. That's what I love about the S4...so much memory that you don't have to worry about running out of space unless you install a lot of games (which I don't). Apps2SD solves that problem, too.

Wow are you guys nutts? Guess yall like to keep a lot of junks in your house too eh?

got about 120 apps. but i try to have an app for just about any reason. the pics are off of my s2 cuz i'm still in trial-n-error mode on the s4 (got about 8 different roms i'm taking out for test drives). truth is, most of the apps are rarely used, but i just feel better having them there just in case. btw, i'm taking suggestions from anyone as to their recommended dd rom, please include ur setup as far as kernel, fixes, etc. i have had my s4 for about 18 days now and i'm still in research phase....so much reading and choices.

I guess i keep some just to see if theres updates which will make them useful; such as google keep which is begging to be integrated with google now.
But i just found an app to help with that task
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cypressworks.changelogviewer
It lets you add apps to observe for updates without having to install them. Currently i only use it to get an overview of changes to my all my installed apps since the play store sucks for that. This app shows changelogs all on one screen. It's really well made

My name is scoob and I'm a recovering appaholic... I used to download just about any app for any task i could find. I had apps on my phone that i never once used. It was like hardcore app hoarding...I used to have like 140-170 apps total, but I have since cut waaaay back. Backups used to take forever. I'm proud to say, I now only have a total of about 56

This gave me a good laugh because it hit so close to home! I had to purge my collection of useless apps I had a while back as well...

I have around 120 but lately I've been doing some app pruning and getting rid of ones that I haven't opened lately.

I probably have around 50 or so.

You guys got a lot of apps! I user to have about 40 apps, but I realized that I didnt use most of them. So now I have about 20 apps, if I urgently need an app I download them at the time.
Sometimes I keep looking for some games that I might like, but rarely find some lol

325 total with 6 gb's left for more

I have 302 installed, with a few gigs of free space.
I have 1562 user apps backed up with Titanium Backup though. I restore apps as I need them, so depends on how long since i've flashed a new rom.
What's the point of having a phone with a ton of free space? It's just wasted potential to me.

Usually around 50-60.
