[Q] Straight Talk Verizon 3G not working/slow - HTC One V

Has anyone switched over to Straight Talk with this phone? I have it working on Straight talk using Verizon towers, but my 3G speeds are really slow, as in 100kbs slow but it shows the 3G symbol. Does anyone have a fix or suggestion for fixing this problem? Also, sometimes the data connection fails and it says error code 89: cannot make data call...

Evo 4G Always Digital Roaming and Slow Data (Help?)

Precursor: I recently purchased an EVO 4G online and had it shipped up here to Canada and after some phone calls/fiddling I managed to get it onto the Telus network. I can make and receive calls and send/receive sms with no difficulties. Data seems to be working (I get the 3g icon with up and down arrows and can surf the net), and mms seem to be sending.
Which brings me to the issues at hand:
1) My 3G speeds are super weak (between 100kbit and 140kbit down and 100-600kbit up). If I stand in the same place and use my Touch Pro 2 (they both show the same number of bars) I get 800-900kbit/sec.
2) My EVO 4g -ALWAYS- says "Digital Roaming". I've updated the PRL with the latest Telus one (off the internet) as well as the one off my Touch Pro 2 but see no difference. I don't incur any roaming charges, but the phone always thinks it's roaming.
3) Last but not least, I'll often get a pop-up that says Data Call Failure Error Code 67. Sometimes I'll go for hours without seeing it, and sometimes it'll pop up every 5 minutes.
Any input/insight is welcome!

P.S. If you want tips on how to get your EVO onto Telus, drop me a PM.
I will love to have feedback, as I get the "data fail" error often while roaming...
Update: It seems that when I force my phone to use only EVDO, the Data Call Failure Error Code 67 goes away. Perhaps related?
Just following up on my own thread: It seems the Error 67 is because my 1x data login details are incorrect (a side effect of the sprint radio).
Still wondering on the other questions, anyone?
Xan, how did you get HTC Evo to work on Telus? I'm almost at the point of returning this one that I got from Texas. I have tried for 24hours to no avail.
Please help!!

I just had the same issue. Luckily I downloaded an app off the market called 2g 3g switchand it resolve several issues I had including yours. There are three options one of them is the cdma NAM switch in which you could select NAM 1, another option is to leave in automatic, and third if you have any 2g and 3g switching issues you can select hybrid. Note after switching wait probably 5 minutes and sometimes try again,also you may have to reset.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Nexus [PagePlus] Problems

I've had my Samsung Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.2 ParanoidAndroid 3.60 on PagePlus for a good 2-3 months now, and I have been having problems with the phone since the start. One of the main issues that I am having with the phone is slow messaging. I am able to send messages at normal speeds (not MMS, MMS takes forever to send/will not send at all), but when I am receiving messages, most of the time the I don't get it for about 4-60 minutes after they sent the message. Another problem that I have had recently (4/22/14) is that the phone switched to 4G LTE when it is on PagePlus, which is 3G. I don't know why it suddenly switched to 4G, I just changed by batteries and then when I powered it on it was just on 4G and I cannot use any of my data because it prompts me to "Sign into Network" and my network for PagePlus says T-CDMA 64. When I try to sign in or use my data it says that I cannot use mobile broadband and that I cannot activate my phone and it gives me a Verizon number. I've switched the network preferences from LTE/CDMA to CDMA/EvDo and it is on 3G now but it still prompts me to the same site when I try using my data. So yeah, basically my phone lags when it receives messages and I can't use my data because it switched to 4G. Anyone got any ideas?

I really need this fixed.

no calls or data on ROGERS Canada

Hi all, I hope I can get help here since I'm getting crazy trying to have my p8000 with Rogers connectivity.
I've tryed on both Stock and Eragon roms with same results.
The phone seems to only be able to find 1 network - ROGERS 4G. It registers it, but then I can only get the messaging to work... both calls and internet are still down.
Also important to say that the reason why I can't see the LTE might be related to my old sim card. I'll be replacing it soon.
Anyways, in the mean time I could use some help with:
- assuming I can only connect to the 4g, should I be able to have calls at all? are calls delivered through 4g? 3g? 2g? all?
- Any reason why I can only see 4g? is the phone not capable of connecting to 2g/3g?
- anything else I could try? different modem drivers, some app to assist on this?
Thanks
update
I partially solved the issue...
few notes.... since I leave in canada, the 3g frequencies do not work...
So, I can only have internet with 2g or 4g....
no this brings one other issue regarding receiving phone calls while phone is in 4g... it does not know the calls are coming since they are transmitted using 2g... any way phone monitors 2g incoming calls while using 4g internet?
Hi
Any progress on this. I have the same issue (p8000 and rogers) Have you found a solution?
I'm on Rogers with the P8000. When it is showing 4G, I'm surfing away fine. Making a call, it switches to 2G because like most carriers (other than Wind/Mobilicity), voice calls are on the 2G network. I dont believe the P8000 has 3G bands that we use in N.America so you are only going to get 4G or 2G.
According to willmyphonework.net, the P8000 is able to use all of the frequencies. Therefore, you should have 2g, 3g and LTE.
Is this not the case?

Calling kills internet

Just wondering if anyone else is having problems using internet while on a call. I will have LTE until I start a call at which point the phone drops to a h or h+ connection and refuses to do anything network related. When I look at the phone information menu it says LTE for voice and data, is there anyway to force voice to UMTS or something so I can leave the LTE open for data? I'm using cricket wireless, a at&t mnvo in the USA and I'm on viper is 7.1.2. I'm not provisioned for volte or wifi calling.
I also don't get any internet at all on HSPA. Never had a phone do this before.
