Keeping signal alive - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

When I am downloading roms and other things using aDownloader, some times the download speeds dip tremendously, from 200 kbps to 1 kbps. I know this is to preserve battery and whatnot, but that is not an issue for me. Is there an app or something to keep the signal 'alive'? Looking around yielded no helpful results. Thank you.

Are you sure it's not just slow servers? Is it every download from any server?

Force Roaming

Hi I'm running eg22 and I'd like to force my phone into roaming sometimes, for instance when I have 1 bar of sprint but my friend has 5 bars of verizon...instead of my phone switching to and from roaming when I so much as blink. I know sprint has been known to cancel contracts when over 300 and some odd megabytes have been used in roaming..so maybe a program that let's me roam at the push of a button and also logs data usage. Please help!!! Thank you so much in advance!

Yeah I was looking for something more homegrown. I'd love it if someone became motivated from the idea and decided to release something through xda. I really have grown to value this community. Apps seem to evolve faster on here.

(Software Suggestions only)WIFI signal, and speed improvements?

I'm running a cm 10 nightly ROM, but my WiFi seems to be pretty weak compared to stock WiFi. Any tweaks, mods, or settings that could improve my WiFi... I only pay for 2 GB data lol, I want to use my WiFi at home, but my phone doesn't grab it, even though my touchpad and laptop grab it perfectly.
Thank you for any suggestions

Wrong section. If cm gives you trouble, why not use a different rom

Data has sporadic freezes

It happens a lot on the xda app, and noticing it alot on instagram. I see no data activity for 10 seconds then it will animate and data will load whatever im browsing. Dont use facebook or twitter. Infact I never used instagram till yesterday and its doing same thing as xda, which is what I browse with the most. I thought it was just the xda site but I guess not. My wife hasnt noticed it in hers but i will be trying her phone out now that I know its the phone.
Surprised I havent found other complaing. Maybe I need to swap this thing out

No issues like that on mine. Data seems to always be smooth.

Sounds like a hardware issue. My iPhone 4S had this issue and my replacement was perfect.
Iam gettting that on xda too. I am using dagr8 rom.

I noticed it yesterday too on the XDA app. Everything else is smooth except for the app. I had to use the browser instead
She had the data freezes on the xda app today but she also said her Facebook app does it too

I've noticed this as well. I'm running cleanrom. Noticed it heavily but sporadically on XDA can't remember it happening on Facebook or anything else.

Is there any apps that can run a ping test or something so I dont keep eating up massive amounts of data testing this thing when im having outages

Try fing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
*#*#4636#*#* will get you a ping test - choose "Info," then "Device information," which is actually telephone information. You can also get an app "Hidden Menus" from the Market which will save you the effort of keying all that in
*#0*# works to get into the Service Menu to test the rest of the phone out.
I am wondering if it's a modem issue. Any ideas if we have any other modems and can we flash modems from the first Note? I saw dagr8's thread on modems but no Att modems available to download. They are all bad links. I think they were having issues with them. I also saw someone posted a newer modem but it needs to be packaged in a zip.

I need multi view so I can watch and run ping the same time as browsing. I have to switch over to pinging app when I see no activity and buy the time I switch over its pinging away. It stops pinging when I am switched over on another app

Facebook

The big update finally hit android users. It's way faster. !!!

Doesn't seem any faster at all. I can't tell one bit of a difference. I have a 25 mbit connection and it still takes ages to load photo albums. Still a horrible app.

Idk dude every update that Facebook claims to be "faster" and have "less battery consumption" just seems like bull. It sucks battery no matter what and the app is no faster and completely identical to the mobile site. In fact if you just set your profile to send email notifications it notifies you on everything instantly

I have no problem with this, cause I'm one of the few that don't have a Facebook. I know I'm strange

Supposedly the app is a complete rewrite to be Android native...Testing it for myself...I've been a big fan of FriendCaster Pro, so I hope they took a few notes from them
I love the new ui. No problems on my end

I'm on aokp and when my 4g kicks in it is really fast. Guess it's better to use it on WiFi

Does it still eat up data like candy??
Dunno. I'm unlimited data

Bad reception

My gs3 has been getting bad reception lately. My gf's HTC 1x and my gs3 used to get about the same service inside my house where now I'm getting 1 bar when she gets 4. I've tried everything I can think of to get a better signal. Flashed modems, changed apns, flashed back to stock, tried build prop hacks, nothing helped. Could this be an antenna malfunction? Are there any hardware mods that may help? Maybe something I've looked over. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Been having the same problems, always at 1 bar at my house, WiFi on makes it worse for some reason..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I just turned wifi off and went from none to 2 bars. But with the way my signal goes in and out it could just be coincidence........

Here is a list for different radios on i747: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
You can flash them in twrp or cwm.
Its a hit or miss depending on your phone and area.
I tried the latest release and am getting very good reception
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Didnt realize they had a new radio. Really wasn't expecting the new radio to help since I tried the rest with no success but it actually fixed my issue I'm getting about the same service as my gf. Thanks alot.
