[Q] GB Wifi low signal? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I flashed new Gingerbeead 2.3.3 and rooted. I did notice that my wifi is so low on 1 bar. i am like next room from wifi router.. my old 2.2.1, it was always full bar. umm i wonder, is it Gb's new bug? thanks

You're not the only one! I think mine had the same problem. Mine only has one bar and nothing higher and my room is right about the wireless router.

Green Power Compatibility with Nexus S?

Hi people,
Recently went to the market, and I tried downloading Green Power. It claimed to be able to work with 2.3.3
However, I don't see it toggling 3G automatically.
Has anyone managed to get it working?

If you are connected to a wireless network the app doesn't use your data connection. Try running the app with your wireless off or turn off your router. You'll see it working then.

Huh I thought the main objective of the app is to turn off the 3G when its not in use?
What's the point of turning off the wifi or router?

I use an app called "Network Switcher" which seems to work well on my Nexus S

Great app I think it helps me save battery I'm still
On 2.3.2 still waiting for 2.3.3
Just tried network switcher ... sometimes it doesn't return me 3G connection ..

I got this yesterday it does switch off the 3g so I think its been working. Although there were a few times when I switch RH screen on and off too quickly that it takes 10 seconds o so before 3g comes back
So far its been good using greenpower can update later

The reason I said to turn off wifi/router was so he could see if the app was turning on/off his 3g connection properly; that being his question
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Alright its been a few days and I can safely say that green power is working out awesome for me
If I just leave the phone alone it last a lot longer I'd estimate it to using around 10-20% battery judging by the percentage reported by the phone

Mobile data problems still...

Ok, I know I have complained about this before but when I am connected to mobile data I do not get what I am supposed to get.
I don't get "H" "4g"or "3g"all I get is
"1x"and "E"which sucks because the speed blows.
All I would like to know if there is a fix for this because I have had 4g with the stock rom and now I am on cdma which is odd
I also cannot select a band when I go into the "*#*#4636#*#*"menu -> phone information -> menu button-> select band
What I get is a "select [unsuccessful] (whichever band) message and sometimes a force close.
I don't know what to do any more because I made sure that the apn settings were correct and that I was connected to a tmobile network provider
Someone help please help me
Thanks in advance, googleme1

I would like to know this too because all I get is edge. If I reset connections, my phone picks up 4g and within a minute I'm back on Edge. It sucks. But what are the correct settings for above as I am using CM7 RC1.

Try to get a baseband switcher. I'm on the defy and that did the job.

Well the g2x is relatively new and from my knowledge there isn't any basebands for it as well as radios...although there are some for the
Lg o2x which will probably brick my phone

Sorry that no one has attempted to answer your question. I've ran into this exact issue before. Redownload the rom and reflash it again. Once the phone boot up do not touch the phone for about 5-10 minutes! This step is important! Let the software settle in. Once its settled in then reboot the phone and then wait till your carrier (T-Mobile) pop up and then unlock the phone and depending on your area's coverage you shall now have 3g-4g signal.

T-Mobile is undergoing technical issues from a phone call I made over to them. They said that they are working on resolving the issue ASAP and that it should be within a couple of hours.

Your welcome and completely restart every single step you took to get the rom on the phone. That includes redownloading the rom and then reflashing it and just wait 5-10 minutes once it reboots. The reason why I say redo the step completely is because it could of been a bad download, a bad flash or just that you didn't give the software sometime to settle so to eliminate all possible issues do the whole step over completely!

Ok whats the best most stable modem for the Infuse? Like in terms of speed, network stability and battery life. Also was wondering if flashing some kind of kernel would improve anything.

Nope. Used it for 2-3 days and wifi actually works good. Everything is good, except for the battery drain. KI3 works best for me.

When on public wifi, you usually have to open a browser and agree to their terms before anything on wifi will work. Did you do that?
No never did. Not know about that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Yeah it's super annoying as many times those pages are not compatible with mobile browsers. There's a number of times I've had to mess around with it for awhile to get internet to work. Depending on the browser I've used there are times the agreement page doesn't even show up.

What I notices that, whenever the phone picks up LTE network, the signal strength bar resets to 0 then back to full. This is also when phone calls get dropped. Have repeated the Scenario several times and proved that is the cause of my call drops. So I think it is most likely a software issue.

I've been running this edit for a few days now, and have noticed there is a faster connection from 3G to HSPA in my office, which is a plus for me. Can't speak to any other benefits the edit may bring, but I can vouch for the edit making the N5 even better.

Did you flash the latest radio like I posted?
Are you on any special ROM? Using smart radio on gravity box or cataclysm? I sometimes have an issue with no signal on smart radio.
