App shows download in progress, but 3G icon doesn't show anything? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Whenever I use the XDA app (for example) it'll say its loading, but the arrows over 3G don't show any activity.
I see it in other apps like the market; it'll say its loading a page yet the arrows show no activity for about five seconds.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

3g? Can you choose what connection you have? I want to know how to do this...
On topic, mine does this as well. I used to have instant data transfer but lately whenever I use anything that requires internet, it is really slow. Sometimes I will wait for it to load but never see any activity above the 4g signal. Getting more and more disappointed in this phone...

I'm fairly new to all of this technical stuff but from what I know it doesn't have to do much with your phone.
1st off what data plan are u sign up for?
2nd what build are you using?(example :kd1,kc1,kb5,fully stock out the box?)
3rd what mods are you running?
4th do you use your data plan ALOT?
These question will help me help you

Unlimited data, running KD1 with Gingerbread theme (though I experienced this issue on stock KC1 before). Custom boot and shutdown as well, bloat removed, FOTA fix, on AT&T, lol. VERY CUSTOM, I know.
I use my dataplan a TON lol.
Thanks.

Well i'm I'm AT&T so that's why its 3G for me.
but to change your connection speed, go to market and download SGS tools. Click secret codes, and there should be something like "band selection". You'll have to find out which bands T-Mobile uses for what speeds, but that's a way to change it.

The Froyo to Gingerbread wait...

Seeing the GB roms available before the actual update by carrier...is it worth getting it now or should I wait until whenever for the official update? I'm enjoying the custom froyo roms but lerry if trying the gb roms now.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I'm personally waiting... When I got my sgs4g there was nothing now I love the phone.
Considering the improvements with froyo roms over stock I think it's in my best interest to wait for the developers to improve the stock gb rom.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I'm on the odexed kg4 leak with drhonk's red cwm+ext4+root kernel, and I *love* it. OC'd to 1.3GHz, I Quad 2850 or so. Gingerbread is light-years ahead of froyo. Only issue I've personally encountered is outgoing wifi calling volume is inaudibly quiet, and that's not a dealbreaker as I stopped using Wifi calling when I started using Bali kernels.
If you're thinking about it, I say go for it
I felt the same way and held off. Took the plunge - Installed the samfirmware 2.3.4 leak via odin and Drhonk's GB CWM+Voodoo a couple of nights ago (could not get it into recovery using whitehawkx version). Phone is awesome...no rainbow boot screens, no FC's...just plain awesome. Everything works...came from Black Ice with Bali 3.3UV and all of the tweaks and will not be going back.
It's a personal choice though, the only thing I am currently missing is the voodoo sound I had with Bali 3.3UV. Small price to pay IMO.

Unless I missed something the Kernel doesn't support it. I have the voodoo control app installed and lagfix enabled, but it says that the kernel does not support the sound mods.
The other thing i miss is the black ice "system shutdown" audio. That never got old.

Extract the shutdown.ogg from blackice in system/media/audio/ui. Use a pc to convert it to a .Wav then place it in system/media/audio/ui make sure it is called shutdown.Wav for gingerbread to work right.

I got tired of waiting for the upgrade. It's one thing to wait for an upgrade and it's another to get zero dates and information. I decided to use SamFirmware's latest, and to put it simply, I love it so much better than Froyo. In fact, the only thing bothering me is the website scroll on the stock browser. With Froyo, I could swipe upwards a few times and it would quickly take me to the top of the page. For some reason, with Gingerbread, a swipe appears to move me up the screen by some fixed intervals. This extra 3-5 second inconvenience is very tolerable.

Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I agree with Jay on this topic. GingerBread is amazing, with the major downside being horribly quiet WiFi calling. Unfortunately with as often as my phone is WiFi connected and how much I use it for work, I'm sticking with Froyo for now. Other than that, if you're comfortable with flashing it, there really is no reason to wait.
be sure to thank the devs for their hard work. froyo at this point in time is much more customizable than gb, but its only a matter of time before our devs crack it.
Donate if possible also! The devs put a lot of their time and effort these ROMS.

decompile the apk and then you need to rebuild some of the dependancies based off the gb rom to run on non gb like the classes dex file also need to edit the jar then repack it sign it should be ok from there

Just a heads up. After i flashed your bluefuzion theme while on infused v2.0.5 i lost my hpsda(4g) and it went to 3g. I restored my back up and my 4g network came back.

No. If you want HDMI, you need to either run a Froyo ROM or wait until after AT&T releases Gingerbread - going to take at least 1-2 weeks after that IMO, maybe longer.

I've been running mosaic vi all day now and all I can say is wow. I loved mosaic when I had my captivate, followed it from mosaic one all the way to 5, then handed it off to my dad when I got my infuse. After installing mosaic 6 on my infuse today, I played with it side by side with my dads captivate, also on mosaic 6, and our phone blows the captivate out of the water. I haven't seen a single hint of lag whatsoever.
If you try mosaic, which I highly suggest you do, don't worry about the fix for mosaic 6 posted in the op of the mosaic thread...couldn't get it to work properly, and the rom works fine without it. Also, you can use all of the themes they have for mosaic, just make sure you flash hellraiser again after you flash any theme. I installed the erebos theme and my phone looks slick as hell. Love having themed swype keyboards again.

No H+ icon, as it's a captivate rom and the captivate doesn't have H+. It does have the H icon however, and my speeds seem to be on par with what I was seeing on actual infuse roms. As for the mobile ap, not sure, haven't tried it yet, but wasn't hellraiser 6 supposed to fix that issue?
Edit*** You had me curious, so I checked on both things. I pulled a 3.3 mbps down, 1.3 up, which is about the fastest I have seen in my area. When I was on my captivate and on only hspa, not hspa+, I could only pull like 1.5 to 2 down, so H+ is still working even though the icon doesnt show. Also, I tethered my laptop using mobile ap to edit this post, so it is in fact working, just make sure you use hellraiser 6

I've been running Mosaic since last evening with a modded version of Hellraiser beta4 (with my kernel, which basically makes it beta5). So far it's nice - I may likely return after trying 1-2 ROMs for debugging/testing purposes.

The best ROM for my mom

My mom just got an Infuse 4G last night. She's unhappy with the stock ROM (rather, she's not liking it). Realistically I am using this opportunity to break the woman into smartphones, and the Infuse 4G is a great one with a screen that she can read (I love the look of that AMOLED, it's making me want a Samsung when it's time to upgrade).
The question is, which ROM is the most user-friendly? If you read my sig you'll see I have an Atrix 4G myself and am currently running an Alpha ROM so you'll know I am no stranger to the mod community. I just don't want to go from ROM to ROM to ROM showing her each one, wasting my entire day reflashing her phone. If anyone can come up with one or two suggestions for me to try for her, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm looking for something ICS-like, smooth as butter, and not over-the-top like some of the Atrix guys like to go. Thanks for your help!

Imho, find out what she wants out of the phone and tweak it with apps. Stick with stock froyo and avoid the grief.
Ex. Big text battery indicator to show battery. Business calendar is better than stock. Go launcher is better than stock. Show her how to put direct dial shortcut on the screen etc...show her the widgets.
Leave the rom alone because everything works.
From my experience, it's the app and how to use the phone...not the ROM
For better battery life, odin flash one of the stock gingerbread leaks and leave it. KK4 leak would be OK. KL2 is better but tw30 is messed up on it. I like the stock froyo but the battery life sucks.

But bt doesn't work properly on aosp roms (cm7 and miui) if your mom needs simple and stable...infused 2.2.3 or s7....I would recommend one of mine but mine have alot of add one and tweaks and are really for advanced users...like I said infused 2.2.3 or S7....everything works and stable and simple..

See I'm attempting to throw CatyRom on it, the ICS app tray is really what I'm after. Something like that would keep it simple for her to find things without having to go through the app drawer which is what has overloaded her in the past. She absolutely refuses to use an iPhone because of this.
Catyrom is good...don't get me wrong. .just know what your doing when flashing is all bro...and thanks for choosing caty

My sig says it all, I've been around the block a few times. New to Infuse, veteran to Android. And so far, Caty is doing the trick. Thank you
No prob bro

Hah. I thought this thread was a joke when I read the subject line.
Well at this point it we have a handful of really good stable, infuse based roms. So it's all about what color she wants really lol.
Have her take a look at the screenshots for : Zeus, Caty, Bionix, Numas, Victory rom, or infused(old one but a goodie). And pick which one is astheticaly pleasing to her.
Nah, no joke. I made some modifications that allow single-touch activation of apps/tools but other than that she seems happy with Caty. She's a blue person, so it worked in my favor.
It seems odd that someone who has had no experience with smartphones minus playing with someone's iPhone and hating it would want to jump head-long into the ROM world but she's seen the difference it made in my phone. ICS on my Atrix is great, and I am hoping that one day you guys get it running on the Infuse, it seems like a good phone and you folks seem like an intelligent bunch.
Zeus (gb rom).
Plus:
Bluetooth and wifi are working good. Good battery. GPS is good.
Minus (common to ALL gb roms):
HDMI out does not work

Don't Update Your Phone to Stock UCLB3 Not Worth It! (Info Inside)

I've been working around with this Firmware for awhile. As much as I love Stock I just don't love the Stock At&t offers. Here's things I notice to be a problem: STOCK: UCLB3 (Not to be used as a Daily Driver) F*** You Samsung for this!
1. Facebook App - Scrolling comes Unresponsive, Laggy Scroll, Sometimes don't scroll at all.
2. Temple Run Game - Lags, Touchscreen unresponsive trying to do jumps and turns.
3. Instagram - Slight scrolling lag will occur.
4. Netflix - Scrolling can become Unresponsive, Scroll lag
5. Gallery - The most laggiest piece of **** Gallery I've ever seen on this phone. Quickpic solves this, but WTF!
I can make a whole list of daily apps, But just the newer apps that we may want we can't use for these reasons. Came to conclusion Firmware and Touchscreen Firmware is completely Boinked. I still lose Wireless connection leaving me to believe ULCB3 modem is boinked as well. UCKL2 modem gave full Wireless Bars and never dropped. I don't think Samsung will ever fix this...... I'm not here to complain, I'm here to give others an insight of what to expect using Stock UCLB3. And Stock UCLB3 is useless without Root!
For those who hate custom roms, Try finding a rom as close to stock to meet your needs that's all tweaked out and allows root, At&t and Samsung will never Deliver the goodies devs do here. Those worrying about Warranty issues rooting their phones. I returned my phone back to stock before sending my broken phone back, The flash count read 1 count but goes away with GTG Ultimate Unbrick. We don't have to worry about jigs and etc and erasing flash counts like the SGS 2. As long as you flash it back to stock, Superuser and all rooting will be gone.
As Close to Stock UCLB3 Roms I Recommend:
------------------------------------------------
SGH-I997 UCLB3 Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, Zipaligned - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508619
Vagabond ROM Stock UCLB3 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506223
so since your having troubles its not worth it for others to upgrade ? who's to say its not just your phone that messing up
Touchscreen bug is there for everyone not just myself, I hear others on both At&t forums and Facebook complaining of touchscreen unresponsiveness, and Scroll lag. I wouldn't be shocked if they pull the update......It wasn't officially announced! Don't get me wrong The overall Scrolling on UCLB3 is fine, Scrolling isn't playing nice with these apps. There's absolutely nothing wrong with my phone. And a youtube video below that I made goes to show you just how the scrolling should be on this phone......But that rom is pretty dead. Trying Emancipation Rom
I had been on the leaked lb3 since it came out because i was just tired of flashing roms and just stuck with it. I flashed the deodexed version of lb3 a couple of nights ago and it is a hell of a lot better than the leak. Its snappier and more responsive. Its not just your phone. This firmware sucks. It's incomplete.

I'm sorry but I will never buy a Samsung again, this is awful. Do they even test it before release? I know the infuse is not a flagship phone but come on! We can't even get a solid version of GB which was released over a year ago! Wtf have you been doing all this time Samsung!?! Same goes as well for the SG1 .. or is it because you release a new verision of the same phone everyday!? Just give us vanilla GB .. I BET YOU THAT WORKS JUST FINE! ... how do you screw up a lockscreen? LMAO

My wife has unrooted UCLB3 on her Infuse (which replaced her SOD-plagued Captivate), and she hasn't had any complaints about it (aside from the phone being "too big")
Granted, she doesn't even have a data plan, and only uses wifi for Internet, so maybe that might play into it. ?
Seen update, the day after i loaded Z-TR. Like any custom rom you can run into lil issues however ZEUS seems to me to run FAR better than the crap AT&T has put togather not 1 time but 3 times in a row!!!
MY Thanks go out to DMAN and the collective for their hard work!
i thought hdmi out didnt work with uclb3 either.
im so tired of going back and forth, i just want my phone to run smoothly. I had zeus, but i kept getting the SOD now I just upgraded to this and now my screen is unresponsive I can't wait for an upgrade
