Data not staying active? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Anyone experience issues like apps that use data such as Facebook, friend caster, twitter, xda,.. Such as if your viewing something it won't refresh auto or manually. And you have to reset your data to be active again..? I'm noticing it is mainly while connected to lte
I'm on tweaked rom 2.3 with the latest saber kernel 32.2 UC

For example I have on auto refresh on this app and I tried manually refreshing just now and still won't refresh.. It's like certain apps I'm having hangs on.. But open a Brower or 2 and it loads whatever no issue..
P.s.. Double posted, didn't allow me to attach image to first post

I've experienced this also. It has something to do with our phone's way of handling the high power consumption of LTE. I first noticed it using my favorite app DeskSMS, which worked flawlessly prior to LTE, now it doesn't work half the time. However, It became such an irritation I manually went back to 4G, and everything works like it should.
If I ever needed the higher speeds, I can always switch to LTE.

I figured that but it's surprising that lte wouldn't operate the same as on a 4g connection but faster..

CM7 issues. (Dolphin browser, 4G, in-call sound)

So I believe I've had this issue everytime I fashed any kind of CM7 to my phone. The backup of my dolphin browser never actually restores correctly. All my other apps restore their data perfecty and work fine. But dolphin browser always just restores the app but I can never get my data back on it, so I lose all my bookmarks and saved emails and stuff which is annoying and sometimes I forget some of my passwords lol. But has anyone else had this problem? Even when I backup my bookmarks from the app itself and restore them it never gets me them back.
And the problem I'm having with 4G is it never connects or shows up. I know I need to have 3G on first, and I do, but when I turn 4G on it says "turning on" then "unknown" and it never even shows in my status bar as scanning or anything.
Also, the in-call speaker sound stays on the loudest even when lowerng it to the end. Its like that with regular talking on the phone and head phones, and no, its not from voodoo control. But is there anyway to fix this?

Tb. I always use it and it works perfectly on every other ROM I flash. Its just cm7 I'm having problems with. And no the backup isn't corrupted or anything. I'm thinking maybe it could be because dolphin runs differently on cm7?? Or has some kind of different data?

I can't imagine that the data would be stored in a different location. But you even said dolphin's own back and restore doesn't work on cm7? I would say that is a dolphin issue not a cm7 issue contact their support.

Ya that's what I'm thinking. Maybe it runs in a different way or something.
But anyway, that's not the biggest problem I'm having. I don't mind that as much as any of the other two issues.
4G, for some reason, just isn't working for me. Can anyone confirm that it actually works so I can see where the problem is from?
Also, the in-call speaker sound stays on the loudest even when lowerng it to the end. Its like that with regular talking on the phone and head phones, and no, its not from voodoo control. But is there anyway to fix this?

Not sure about the in call volume I can't test 4g seeing I don't have 4g where I live. Which version of CM7 you on? 7.2 RC2 is the latest version.

4g is working for me on cm7... or it was 2 days ago... not on cm7 right now so can't test... maybe they are working on towers in your area... they are starting deployment of lte and it has been giving their network some problems from what I've read... I know there was a big outage last week in texas because of this... maybe its that...

Maybe, or maybe not. Ill restore my backup of thunderhawk and test 4G to see if its from the ROM or the network. And I seen another tread talking about the in call sound to always being too loud so I guess that's a ROM based bug but not a big problem.

[Q] what app can do screen off auto turn to 2G,screen on turn back to 4G?

I want to save battery life ....
I do not know about the app but there is one problem. Sometimes I download large files and i do not want to keep my screen awake all the time. But if it switches the connection to 2g from 3g (or vica versa) it disconnects for one second and the download fails.. So that could be a problem for downloading large files.

if can set the timer,that problem can fix
Juice defender can do that I think. Haven't tried it myself I don't use that app anymore, but I believe there was an option in it to toggle between 3g and 2g. However, you have to have root access and a kernal/rom that supports it. Stock kernals don't support allowing you to switch between 2g to 3g without doing it manually yourself through the settings, so you probably need to find a custom one that does.

You'll need a mod ROM to get full use of Tasker for battery improvement. Stock ROM doesn't allow 2G/3G switching.
I understand that CM10 allows this.
Someone should confirm, as I've stuck to rooted stock rom in SIII and plan to keep the same on Note II.

[Q] Possible wifi issue?

Hi,
I am wondering if it is normal that wifi speeds slow down after a certain time. My wifi at home can reach up to 22 Mbps down and say in a couple hours for example it would drop to 10 Mbps. Immediately I would restart my phone and it would be back up to normal speeds of 20ish Mbps. I do multiple back to back tests on speedtest.net app and my wired connections and other wireless devices are consistent.
My wifi does not disconnect and it has no problems connecting to other souces. At work i have the same wifi issues.
I have a Canadian Rogers Note 2. I am rooted and flashed to cleamrom 4.0.5, fully wiped and reset before flash with twrp. I have tried turning off power saving mode during the slow wifi transmissions and still have this issue,
I am lost as to what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.
Yes this is for me as well I have been on clean rom and now stock and it continues to do the same not a huge deal but I just noticed it last night im on mediacom if thats any help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
In the meantime I have installed My Data Manager to see if there is any unknown wifi data transmitting while this problem is happening. When I had the phone bone stock I really did not monitor this issue.
I use the international rom and I notice YouTube buffers longer than it should than it chops shortly after. I just tried recycling wifi and now it's snappy again.question now is how long it will last

I have been playing with this issue for a few days now. I can sort of recreate this by leaving the wifi range and entering. This will create that speed drop I described in my first post. By turning on and off the wifi toggle resolves this.
While using My Data Manager it shows no mystery wifi or data transfer in the backgound. Everything checks out in that aspect.

I did not notice a drop when infront of the AP.
I'm running stock Att and started having slow wifi speed after the 4.1.2 update. Toggling the wifi fixes the issue but it slows down again eventually.

yeah this blows. I don't know where the fault is. Running cleanrom 4.0.5 with its kernal. I don't believe I have really modified anything other than flashing the rom and a few zips here or there.
Normally it isn't a big deal but it really seemed to cause issues when syncing for the first time with dropbox yesterday. I had to keep restarting wifi. I think part of that was dropbox but 4 gb took literally hours to get done
I don't know if it happens on cleanrom 4.2.5

I am on CleanROM 4.5 right now and it behaves the same way. I did read on another thread that there is a possible fix by replacing the 'wifi' folder with the one from Android 4.1.1.
Here is the whole thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956155&highlight=wifi+problem
I have performed the suggested fix and will monitor the issue when I go about my daily routines.
Any new info on whether your idea worked? I'm experiencing the same thing you guys are.

AOSP 4.3 discussion

What are things you've noticed so far in the alpha/beta builds of Android 4.3?
As of 8/10,
- (Cosmetic) I like the addition to the LTE signal. On cm10.2, the 4G icon has been replaced by "LTE". (Does not apply to SlimRom.)
- Device appears to be much, much smoother and consistent.
- AOSP keyboard no longer opens a window to save a word to the dictionary. It just does it once you hit save. (This one is a big plus for me.)
- LTE, while speeds haven't necessarily matched my Touchwiz experience, I can safely state that LTE, even with slower speeds than Touchwiz is loading pictures/videos a lot faster. It's much more noticeable how LTE connectivity has improved when going to a 4.3 rom on this device.
- Required to enable root via developer settings prior to using any application that requires root access. (This is a security feature but for someone that flashes ROMs on nearly a daily basis, it can become a bit tedious since it's just an extra step.)
Find anything new? Share your findings here.

Things are loading faster on LTE even with slower speeds? Interesting! Is your ping lower or something? I need to try a 4.3 ROM tonight.

Speedtest results yield ~10mbps in most instances but the overall browsing experience is much smoother. Perhaps something with the routing and such.

After two hours and 36 minutes of screen time, I'm at 89%. Been on 4G LTE the entire time.
Edit: I do have a 3000 mAh battery, though!
Battery has been great on slim it's also noticeably faster than 4.2 ... Camera is buggy as !-!311, that's really the only thing wrong with it though... My friend did just send me a file to flash to fix the camera, haven't flashed it yet so idk if it'll work or not

Is camera still buggy? what exactly is buggy about it? I havent tried an AOSP rom in like 6-8 months because first time I flased one my sd card got corrupt. I believe it is formatted correctly to where IT wont happen now and thinking about finally making the switch since touchwiz development has kind of slowed down recently and im starting to get bored. Main thing keeping me on touchwiz was the camera. I take a lot of pictures. Are there any other issues that would keep me from using an AOSP ROM as a daily driver? Bluetooth issues,random reboots,freezes ect...
I never had the luck of running a 4.3 build perfectly. Phone ended up crashing and getting stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 boot screen.
Latest carbon runs quite fine 8-29 nightly. However, I noticed Bluetooth doesn't appear in the toggles nor can you enable torch in the power widget. Anyone know a work around to fix this?

Very slow Wifi performance

Last few weeks my Wifi has been very slow. Web pages take forever to load, facebook g+ ect, all take there sweet time. I have reset the phone, tried various rooms and nothing g seems to help. I have a 10mbit line so it's not my router or connection. Any ideas. I am using stock rooted tw rom 4.1.1

Up from?
Ping times on HSPA/+ are typically higher than LTE or WiFi.
Are they noticeably higher than before? It sounds like one thing you have no done is try rebooting your wireless router.
Another option, which I cannot personally confirm works, is tweaking your WiFi settings, specifically power saving mode in regards to the WiFi card in your phone. Make note that this could also lead to more battery drain with extensive WiFi usage (streaming and such).
In your dialer type *#0011#
This will bring you to ServiceMode. Hit Menu and select WiFi. Turn off WIFI Power Save Mode.
I doubt this will help, but you can try it.
Alternatively, you can boot in to Recovery and clear the cache on your phone.
