Not sure if anyone has any leads on a modified APK that allows force upload through 3G. I still have unlimited data usage on my ATT account and just trying to upload files slightly over the limit (waiting for Wi-Fi message is annoying) can be quite a nuisance.
I know this topic may be slightly beaten over, but would be awesome
Oh yeah.. "Waiting to Retry" is fun...
I don't know of an apk to allow upload over 3G, but I also had issues with the "Waiting to Retry"
I let it go for about 30 minutes, and finally just cancelled it. I had a good wifi connection, I was able to use the web browser, and the file was only 202MB (720p video), and yet it never went through.

I am trying to share a video i just took in 720P to youtube stright from the phone, I have it on wi-fi and it keeps coming up saying waiting to retry and if u click on it and say retry it still does the samething. Its a 5 min video abd about 450mb. I was thinking maybe cause of the size of the file it wont let me upload is there anyway to change settings for this.
I know alot of ppl will say why dont u just connect it to u computer and do it, but i was at my friends house at that time and i was trying to upload on the spot there.
Just wondering if there is a limit on the size and if there is, is there a way around it.
I was having the same problem and I read somewhere that the problem was on youtube's end. The mobile upload server has a limit on what size file you can upload. I'm not sure what the limit is though. I've been able to upload files that are less than 20 mb but one that was close to 100 didn't work.

You could just transfer to computer and upload to YouTube. Works fine from there. I uploaded some samples:

I'm having the same problem.
My file size is only 29.8 MB (The limit for YouTube was 2Gig back in 2009!).
I'm more worried that the problem is more WiFi related.
I can sustain an upload for about 3 seconds and then I get the error message. I have to keep holding my finger on the video until a pop up appears, and then click retry. It goes for another 3 seconds and then fails. I have to keep doing this. When it finally gets to 100% it restarts at 0%. (I had thought, hopefully, that it was somehow doing upload recovery each time I hit retry, as it was counting upwards to 100%)
I'm wondering if there is a system log anywhere in the phone that could be looked at.

Not size
I doubt it's the size. I'm having the same problem with a 15MB video. To the people who seem to want to suggest putting it on the computer and uploading it: That's obviously not the point, the idea is that the phone should be capable of uploading the file. If there are limits (and I doubt that's the issue) it should inform you of that when you're trying to upload.
Vibrant is still awesome, but it would be nice to know why this is happening.

First of all, this is one thick bloke.
And I have the same problem
41mb file
720p
2min long
very fast wifi
full wifi signal
It runs for about 10-15sec then says "waiting to retry 1 minute". Very annoying and unfortunate. Haven't tried it on an iPhone, but I suspect it just works...
WORK AROUND!
So uploading to Qik works very smoothly and fast. So use Qik to upload to Youtube/Facebook!
Basically go to a computer and link your Qik account with Youtube/Facebook. Then log out of the android app and log back in. Now, go to the video you want to upload and hit the upload button. Wait for it to finish upload. NOW hit the Youtube/Facebook button! Tada!! It will send the video to youtube/facebook after its done processing.
Hurrah!! I haven't tried it over 3G but suspect that its not limited. Also currently uploading so I will let everyone know if its HD or not.
Edit: Never mind, not HD :-(
Did anyone ever figure this out? I can't upload in 720p it appears.
Same problem here. It gets to varying percentages of uploading, then does the "waiting to retry" thing. It never connects again after that. My file is a small 40MB. It sort of blows that Google can't figure this out. It's a Google product on a Google phone. I'm going to try that Quik workaround.
A couple of weeks back I was having an issue with my Captivate and Galaxy Tablet getting super slow download and upload speeds on WiFi. I tried everything I could think of on the router to fix the problem. In the end, it was not really a logical thing that was necessary to resolve the problem. I have an N router, and most of of my equipment that is WiFi capable is G. So, I changed my router's output to G only, since the important stuff is all directly wired anyway, and since then my downloads and uploads fly. They are just as fast as the computer now on speed tests. To put it in perspective, I was getting like 100-400 kbps before hand for both downloads and uploads, and now I am getting 15+ mbps download, and 3-5mbps upload
So, if your problem is really coming from WiFI, I would try setting the router to G mode only (assuming you have something that is N capable.) Also, try changing the channels to something different.
Hope that helps!
"something" keeps connecting to my 3G Internet Connection.
I don't know what program that is, and I have no idea whatsoever how to find that out...
Please help me out, this is very annoying
Download Spare Parts
Hello
I had a similar problem a while back and found that it was actually YMail app uploading a video that was bigger than the 25mb limit. Thought I had cancelled it properly but it basically uploaded 1gb in the space of 4 hours and thus used all my data allowance.
So, on to the fix.
Download Spare Parts.
Open, Click Battery History. Click arrow at side of top option bar (Think it says CPU usage), Click Network Usage, The culprit should then be at the top of the list.
If it is an app doing it then I am sure a quick uninstall then re-install of the cheeky app should sort you out.
Good luck.
Thanks man, I will try that right away. I will let you know the end result
No problem, really hope it helped.
My apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. I found a loosely related thread on google's support forum, but nothing here.
Bought a Nexus 5 and I've been trying out Straight Talk ATT and I've been noticing these problems, most likely all related:
I've been getting notification delays for push data services. Namely, my work email(exchange) and gmail. Sometimes the notification won't even come through. I'm up to a half hour on my last one, still waiting on it. SMS works just fine. Haven't tested MMS, particularly because I don't get many of those. The data connections does work though. I can manually load pages just fine, if a bit slow at first like the ping is astronomical. Almost makes me think it's establishing a connection each time.
When I check the color of the wifi or cellular connection icon, it's frequently orange. Most of the time it will quickly resolve itself to white in the few seconds it takes to check it. From what I understand, orange means it's having trouble talking to google services? This shouldn't affect exchange notifications.
I'm getting poorer connections quality than I expected. I live in Ithaca and while my home has poor Verizon connection(so I expected similar from ATT), I've barely found any place at work or the mall that can hold ANY LTE signal or a decent HSPA signal. HSPA speed tests give me under 0.5mbps up/down, while the only LTE test I've been able to run gave me 2.5/1 up/down.
The aforementioned thread on google's forums mentioned flashing 4.4.0's radio apk, has anyone else tried this?
Which APN setting affects the data part of the connection? Is it just the APN type?
Bump.
I'm starting to wonder if my problem is exacerbated by my current postpaid VZW phone getting data notifications much quicker. I'm suspecting that Straight Talk has a lower priority on ATT towers, thus why my data notifications take up to minutes sometimes. Anyone know of a way to confirm this?
Always On Push Notifications android app
I am not sure if anyone is following this thread anymore, but I switched to StraightTalk about a month ago, and have been experiencing huge delays in my google voice notifications as well (among other things). I've tried several different apps to get this resolved, but none have worked for me... so I decided to write my own. It was published to the google play store this morning (Android 2.3+ currently). If anyone sees this, please try it out, and let me know what you think.
It's called "Always On Push Notifications". I can't post a link right now because this is my first post on these forums though.

What fixed it? I find I have to archive my old messages/call logs for it to not lag.

I am not sure what you mean, but I was noticing similar issues with my Nexus 5 on ST using ATT towers. While on LTE at the office, my connection was always great, but if I wasn't actively using my phone, my cell signal would go orange, and all of my notifications were significantly delayed. Furthermore, even trying to browse the internet with an orange signal would just idle and sometimes would not complete at all.
The app I wrote attempts to prevent this by simply keeping your connection active. It does this by manually sending out a heartbeat using the Google Cloud Messaging service approximately every interval that you define in the app. This helps keep your notifications flowing. On top of that, the application will also make a very small data request (~60 bytes), to help prevent the APN from timing out your connection.
I have found that those two things are enough to fix the issues I have had with StraightTalk.

That answered it. It must be a StraightTalk thing. Weird.
New observation on this problem:
- GMail notifications not arriving
- When I check I see that the WiFi icon is orange
- Phone is still connected to the internet, I can browse, but icon remains orange and no notifications arrive
- Only when I disconnect/reconnect Wifi does it recover
I also discovered that the WiFi icon actually turns orange at the moment that Google tries to send me a notification. It can be fine for hours before that.
It turned out that this only happens when I have the cellular radio turned off, by turning on Airplane Mode and then turning WiFi back on. With the cellular radio on and connected to the network, even with Mobile Data turned off, everything is fine with WiFi.
I think it's an authentication bug with Google Services. Somewhere in the message notification sequence it tries to either authenticate your phone or perhaps locate it via the cellular network, and if it fails then the connection to Google Services is flagged as faulty. The failure could be caused by having the cellular radio off, or perhaps by being in a bad reception area.
Hi,
Wondering if anyone has run into the following issue with their Pixel. My phone is an international model (G-2PW4200) and I bought it exactly a month ago.
The issue is this: I seem to never be able to download any decent size file (e.g. a video on social media sites or apps like Facebook, YouTube, Whatsapp, etc., or to download any app on the Google Play store) via WiFi without the download getting "stuck" half way, sometimes not even at 10%. The download would get stuck indefinitely, and only resume once I disable WiFi and start downloading via LTE. Sometimes it also comes back if I just disable WiFi and enable it again. Another problem I have is that my phone seems to go offline when it's not being used for extended periods of time (that being in the 5-10 minute range given I look at it almost every 10 minutes) despite having WiFi during sleep set to be always on. I can tell this because when I try to log in to something like Whatsapp Web it complains that my phone is offline, and this is a problem that never happened with me with my previous phone in the same setting.
A few points to keep in mind:
1- I have "Keep WiFi on during Sleep" set to "Always"
2- This happens everywhere (at home, work, friends', public WiFi, etc.) so it's not related to just my router's setup, and it happens every single day and almost every single time.
4- System is "up to date" and I have the latest update installed (Android 7.1.1, build NOF26V)
3- I'm still able to browse web pages (via Chrome), and browse apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, etc. without getting interruptions or showing any signs of disconnect. It's only the above two issues that I see when downloading big chunks of data, and for some reason my phone appearing to be offline during sleep when it shouldn't be.
Any idea what may be wrong here and how I can fix this? I really would like to keep this phone, but this is really becoming frustrating.
Thanks.
Have you factory reset?

Yes. And ironically enough I ran into the same problem immediately while restoring my backup as the phone was trying to redownload the previously installed apps. It would get stuck not downloading anything but not complain about a lost connection until I disable WiFi and switch to cellular data.
This reminded me that the first time I ran into the problem was also the very first time I used the phone when also downloading my apps.

can you test your wifi performance with another device?
and also try some download manager like ADM and check download with it.

Given that this happens everywhere, not just with my home WiFi, I know the issue is specific to my Pixel. Unfortunately no one at work has a Pixel to try it, but all other devices connected to the same WiFi spots are fine.
I was told by someone that disabling LTE and sticking to 3G cellular data will fix my WiFi issues. Will be trying that at work today.
Hi everyone!
I'll try my best to explain what the issue is as my level of expertise when it comes to tech stuff is not advanced.
I have uTorrent installed on my Xiaomi Device.
My internet works fine. I have VDSL plan 20 Mbps.
Whenever I download a uTorrent file on my Xiaomi device, it works ok, the download speed is ok. It reaches 2.5 MBps, just the right download speed for my VDSL plan.
However, I have 1 other device (Samsung Phone)
While the Xiaomi Device is downloading the file from its uTorrent app, when I try to go to the internet with this Samsung device, it still detects the wifi signal, but it gives me an error saying my connection has timed out, and that little exclamation mark thing on the wifi symbol appears. When I go to youtube for instance, my Samsung device tells me I'm offline. Now when I look at my Xiaomi device, the download is still running.
Whenever I stop the uTorrent app, the internet comes back in my Samsung device. So I was able to rule out that the problem is the uTorrent. However, this never happened before. My modem router just got replaced as upgraded my ISP's plan. Before, I download things on the internet with no problem at all.
What I did so far?
I adjusted uTorrent's maximum download limit to just 500 KBps, as I was thinking that if I set it to Maximum, it will consume my bandwidth. But no, this didn't work. I was still getting the same trouble.
Hope you guys can help me. Thank you!
