Data symbol

Anyone else noticing the data symbol (h+) staying on even when connected to wifi?
Just curious... I'm running infused 1.4

I'm able to hide it again by putting it in airplane mode and then back, but it's not ideal

itll sometimes reconnect to data. not sure whats making it do that but its not actually transmitting. dunno.

Probably because it is still connected to the network, att needs to keep tabs on you. Plus your calls/text are never coming over wifi (going into airplane mode means you don't get those)

Mine will pop up here and there but I'm guessing it's just checking syncs in the background. I do use the att address book. My data symbol doesn't stay on though when on wifi.

Some things like Market request a data connection instead of wifi for certain things.

Mine does go back to hiding. Not sure why yours isn't unless you have some odd app that's keeping it open.

Mine does this as well. While I'm on wifi the h+ will come on and sometimes go away, but sometimes it stays on the screen. It doesn't seem to affect anything so I don't worry about it.

Just curious, are you sending or receiving any MMS msgs when this is going on?

Question. Have any of you run stock UCKE3 for any length if time? Wonder if the issue shows up there too. Anyways, sounds like a simple cosmetic issue rather than something serious.

Yes me too. I have never seen that when I am in 1.3.2.

did anyone found a fix yet?

Did anyone found a fix yet for the problem that can't send messeges when coneccted t
o 4g?

Sure haven't. I just use CM7 now since it has the 2/4g toggle in notification... I just deal with it now, until a new baseband is out for us, I don't think it will be fixed.

What type of messages? I email, text and mms all day. I've only had 1 time where a picture failed to send and I restart solved that.

It used to work well but because of some incident, though not confirmed yet, there is us in that group that can't send mms when 4g in on. As if sms wont trigger the 2g/gsm switch for it to be able the sms to be send.

There is a setting in the LG hidden menu that could fix it, but LG has not implemented it. Under modem settings there is a CS/PS preference (Carrier Signal/Packet Switched). You want that set to CS. Almost no carrier in the world has implemented PS sending for sms. When you select CS you get a toast message that says not implemented yet. If LG had implemented that setting to the baseband it would fix this problem. It appears the issue is that automatic CS fallback has been turned off. When on on 2G or wifi, sms message are sent by CS by default. On 3G and 4G, for some stupid reason, Android tries to send them first on PS, then when it cannot be sent that way, the modem is supposed to auto-fallback to CS and send the sms. For some reason instead of performing the fallback the modem is just throwing up a general error and giving up. If anyone can figure out how to issue a command to the modem and turn auto-fallback back on I think it would fix this issue.

I don't have such problem (sending text) when the phone displays "H" (I use Eagleblood AOSP ROM because I don't like 2G/4G).

Everything I have ever read about updating basbands was to NOT REVERT to old basebands will brick them that's on old HTC things I have no clue on anything else though. Those were also flashable through bootloader so idk.

Has anyone tried using the KDZ method to do an emergency restore of the Gingerbread firmware and baseband? That seems like it could fix the issue if during the process it resets all the baseband settings.

Is not mms is sms only, only it happends when is connected to 4g network, when i am in 2g netwkrk, uma wifi calling or data disable it works fine. Is like the phone forgot the command to switch to 2g network to send sms message and then switch back to 4g. One doesnt see this switch because it happends in seconds

Well I still have the problem. My carrier cannot help me they have tried everything at this point they are asking me to return the phone.
I really wish this was fixed!

[Q] MMS and Skyrocket

Okay, so this may seem like a stupid question, but is it possible to turn off all data except MMS? I've tried juice defender, and juice defender ultimate, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't have a data plan, nor do I need to use data away from home. however, when I'm out and about, I do like to send photos and whatnot. however, that requires data to be on. But 4G is a such a battery killer, especially since I'm not even using it.
Any help would be awesome! thanks.

Not that I'm aware of. You can shut off data, and turn it on before you send a pic and then shut it off again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

That doesn't help when I'm receiving pics though :/ I get random pics all the time. With minimal use my phone barely lasts 10 hours because 4G is always on. I would turn data off completely, but then I can't use mms. I think it's stupid we can't turn off 4F which is stupid. I don't use data away from home except mms. So I think there should be some app or something that should be able to disable it but enable to mms

You will get a notification when someone sends you an mms message. So you turn data right before you click on download. That's what I do and my phone last me more than a day on medium to heavy usage

[Q] Picture Messages [Solved]

My dad recently updated to ICS (Thanks Team Acid) but when someone sends him a picture a box comes up that says download as opposed to the picture just being there like on my phone which also has ICS. Can anyone help me fix this? It's important as he needs the pictures for work.
P.S. Nothing happens when you hit download. Just says downloading and nothing happens. Checked his gallery for download pictures and nothing new was there.
Help is much appreciated!

If your talking about MMS then you need to check something on your side, MMS works fine on my side, my friend sent me a picture of his Math Homework

Check settings in the messaging app and see if auto retrieve is checked.

Make Sure Data is turned on.

If his data was turned off, then he wouldn't even receive the message. His problem is that he could not see/view the picture that was sent to him.

Actually that's wrong, he will still receive mms but he would have to "download" it to view the picture.

Can you explain this further. When I had Virgin Mobile they had many growing pains when they started selling the optimus v and with that several data outages. When data was out you couldnt ever get mms pictures. I got a couple free months of service because of that. I was told by sprints level three techs mms would not be transmitted. As in you would never get the message unless data was on.
If I am misreading what you are saying please ignore. But I am almost positive you still need data to get the mms. Not just to download but to receive it.
