Curious to know why messages sometimes fail. I know if i dont have service, thats an obvious answer. Sometimes though I will see the failure notification and then i glance up and see that I have service. Did I loose service and it came back that fast / I didn't see it, or do messages just " some times fail" ??? Please point me to the reasoning of this, I am techy and am very curious why.
This happens maybe 1once every 1,000-2,000 messages, so not very often at all. And I have noticed this at home at my desk, driving ( passengering) in the car. ect.
As well as do the -DB account for the signal bars, ( I have a widget that shows signal bars and -DB) or is DB something that goes along with signal strength?
??????????????

If this happens once every 1000-2000 msgs I wouldn't worry.

I probably average one of these a day, half because of signal, half not. I think it's just AT&T. I wouldn't worry about it.
Well I'm curious why it happens.....?

happens to everyone. if it's not happeninga lot, deal with it.
there definitely was already a thread about this. It is from a momentary network drop possible a corrupt packet along the way or some obscure system problem. Unless it is happening every message (which happens to me at home because of ****ty reception) just suffer through the 5 seconds and three clicks. There is not a magical fix all solution by changing a setting

Is this a cappy thing or AT& T thing? Apparently again there are. 2 towers down in my area...

...you just answered your own question. If your reception is so great with 2 towers then it must be your captivate. Most people don't go through perfect cell reception for several thousand messages so a couple of fail to send are not a problem

I said 2 towers are down. But I'm in a different area and I fail like. 1 outa. 70 with good service. This has just been a common problem today. Otherwise it is seldome.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I think we all have this issue, no matter the phone. All comes down to the primary factor - AT&T
Lol the irony. I came down south 70 miles from where my home is where the down towers are, only to hear there's down towers in this area as well. Haha

Sorry did not see they were down plus the moonshine making had me a little loopy. With down towers in the area the other ones are being over taxed. Att already has problems with their networks being assaulted by iphone users

My wife's iPhone has full strength while my infuse has one bar and drops data sometimes sitting next to eachother. I'm on infused 1.5.3. Is there anything I can do?

A lot of people have this problem. I haven't read a fix for it yet.

It's entirely possible that the infuse is giving a more accurate reading of the wifi signal than the iphone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Yes I thought of that. But I keep losing data during this time. She doesn't. And I get a you should stay with iPhone smirk. I have 10 employees all on iPhone and 30 family members all on iPhone. So imagine the arguments I have LOL. The employees I tell to zip it or ill give them a blackberry curve.

Are you losing the 4G data connection or wifi? If you're losing wifi, download wifi analyzer from the market and see what wireless signals are humping that channel with your wifi, then switch your network to a less busy channel.
I did that and I get a wireless signal through all 3 floors of my house.
And as much as I enjoy mocking my wife's blackberry, she's dropped that thing a million times and half the keys are worn off, but it still works (somehow)...
Thanks. Yea its just wifi. Yes I love mocking BB too. But I agree , I once threw mine across the yard 20 ft and it was still good. Good memories there. LOL
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Lol Well sounds like you already know your stuff, but if you need help with the wireless stuff just lemme know!
I try and use my wifi at the house when I can but like you sometimes it just stops working even when I'm clearly in range. I usually turn it off and have to use my network. Pretty sad but the wifi on this phone doesn't seem to be its strong point.
Sent from my rooted infuse flashed with infused!
Agreed. My only complaint so far is wifi. I'm chomping at getting the galaxy s2 now as well. If this phone is so fast and smooth imagine that one. With dual core.

Same here, just started today and if that weren't enough, for me anyway, The International Data Triangle popped on and I have no voice coverage. I flashed back to stock and got the voice back but the data drops in and out. I wondered if there is some sort of outage. Called in and NADA that they are aware of.
Weird.. Might have to send this one back. This will be the second time. PRL and Profile Update fails.
In Minneapolis/St. Paul Btw.
That's my same situation everything exactly its wrks better wen u unroot but rooted sux signal wise I thought I was the only one having this issue I wonder is it just our phones or did da update have sumthn 2 do with it?

Not sure. When I called Sprint, they checked the tower strength, Known issues in the area and found nothing. So they want me to stop into a store and have them look at it. I put the standard recovery back on and locked it back up. Wish me luck.

Maybe you were watching the local action at Jennifer's and something in your pocket activated the PRL by mistake? Wink wink.
what radio are you running? try flashing ke5
Yeah, on ke5. They did manage to fix it at the store by erasing some network stuff and reinstalling the ota latest update with their computer. Then they said blah blah blah. I told them thanks a bunch. We will see.

Did you try a hard reboot yet? Holds volume up plus power for several seconds until the phone reboots.
dude I have been asking what and how mto do a hard reboot for a while now and no one could tell me I guess you are the only one who knows what he is talking about here as far as reboots go. I was haveing problems with EB 1.08 and saw this thread and tried the hard reboot and like magic I have data again thank you.
The two towers in my area were both undergoing a service upgrade.
I called Tech support no help. Granted I called 3am my time.
While I was on hold the voice on the phone said you may not be able to send or receive text messages. Also said any service needing data services are down in your area or market.
I went to sleep, When I woke up all problems we're gone.
In the morning I called back and told me there was service interruptions in my area for 2 days.
That was the problem. Not phone related.
My G1 on the other line worked fine the whole time.
I was so mad!!!
Thanks for the help

While I believe this selects both GSM&WCDMA for network selection, it doesn't resolve disappearing APNs...

All working fine now.

I have been using a Microcell since it was released by ATT. I have use 2 Blackberrys, 1 IPhone, 3 Androids and 1 Blackjack phone with it and have had zero issues.
We currently have 3 Androids using it..1 HTC Inspire, 1 Atrix4g and now my Infuse. We have no issues with any of the phones communicating except the Infuse.
The Infuse works fine as far as Voice calls go. Data and Text messages are a disaster however. About 20 times a day I send texts from home, where my microcell is. About half of them fail....so I resend and resend and resend...sometimes up to 10 times before the message gets sent. I am certain that there is some sort of issue between the Microcell and the Infuse 4g but I have no clue what it could be. I have tried every ROM, Kernel, and Modem I could find but all seem to have the same issues.
Has anyone else had this issue?
What other solutions would you try?
Thanks in advance.

The Microcells are very hit or miss depending on what device you are using. I have a client that has 2 Microcells and one of them we have had no problems with. The other one is replaced and still having issues connecting to it. ATT said that if there is even a hint of normal cell signal it won't connect to the MCell. I don't buy it but my experience with the MCells has been disappointing at best.

I dont know about texting, as i rarely use texting. but I do miss incoming calls. Out going is fine.
but when some one calls me, i dont receive any ring, but the caller listen a ring sound, and it looks like i am ignoring his calls.
If he leaves a voice message, i know that some one called, else its like no one called me.
So, it's been more than a month now since I have not been able to get a solid 3G connection in my area where there is no 4G. Last time I asked no one was really able to help, so I thought I try again. If I turn on my data, it usually takes a while for it to connect and once it does, it stays connected for about 30 seconds to a minute. Sometimes it's longer, but it always drops eventually. Sometimes it has the 3G icon, but nothing happens still. It's a beezy to try and send or receive a picture message. The only time I ever use Internet now is if I have Wifi. I sent it into Samsung, got it back more than a week later and all they did was take the update the GS3 received while they had it. It seems as though if I'm in a 4G area, the data works fine, but other than that, it's almost nonexistent. Can anyone help me, please?

I don't know what to say bro. Is it just your area? How does your phone do on other areas? If it works in other areas then it's just bad service in your area? How does someone else's phone act around your house. You should compare it to another phone and see if that one loses data.

I have 6 other people in my family and all of them live either in my house or down the street and we're all on Verizon. Their service is fine. I say it has to do with something with the phone.

Lame man. My issues were terrible until I switched to synergy. I'm on the he modem now but have had luck with lg1 as well. HD was **** on my phone.
Have you tried any modem swaps? Comparing service on hour Samsung to say a Motorola or an iPhone will make you pull your hair out. I fell into it as well. My wife's iPhone wouldnt drop 3g and my old Motorola got great service in the same spot my s3 would drop signal/go to 1x.
Things really got ****ed up when I went to an area with 4g. Watching my phone, with 4 bars of 4g drop to 3g then to 1x, to no service at all for a few minutes then repeat the process over and over again made me RAGE!

Well, my issue isn't like that when I'm in a 4G area. That's why it doesn't make any sense. The service here is fine, my phone just doesn't like it. I've tried every modem out there so far, and none have helped.
