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.

Indeed. however, i would expect the data to go back in hiding, where it belongs when its done...

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.

Hey Everyone,
Can anyone who has been using a D2G on a GSM network, I am on Rogers in Canada myself, provide some feedback on which ROM's they have tried aside from stock blur rom, that has worked properly with GSM?
I know CM7 doesn't work worth **** on GSM and the MIUI ICS that is out has mixed GSM reviews.
So if anyone has any ideas or positive results I would love to hear about it.
Otherwise, it will be time to say bye bye to the D2G
Froyo-based CM7 was perfectly stable on GSM.
Gingerbread-based, I don't dare touch it. I know MIUI works, but there are quirks.
I tried CM7 Gingerbread. It worked well for calls but i could not get it to accept an APN so I couldn't get data except on Wi-Fi. after a couple of days I gave up and ran into the Miui ICS build. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and I'm quite happy with it. I did have to install third party app to get it to accept an APN at first (it kept FCing from the Android settings menu) but after that it's all been perfect.
What cell carrier network are you using? GSM ? Rogers? What was the apn fixer app called. Thanks.

There's only CWM via Droid2 Recovery Bootstrap (which uses logwrapper hijack).

Try long pressing the data toggle in the notification bar, might get you to the Mobile network settings screen.

Is there a way to switch off 4g on the verizon SGIII and leave on the 3g to save some battery?
I don't want to turn off mobile data completely but i can't find how to turn off 4g like on the galaxy nexus.
I'm looking for the same feature as well. I haven't been able to find it yet. I've been having issues with the phone not having a data connection while on 4g. 3g works fine and i'd like to force it to drop from 4g to 3g.
I called VZW and their technicians were stumped that there was no way to disable the 4g radio in the settings. They were also confused as to why I get wifi notifications when the wifi is turned off (thanks verizon. I pay for unlimited data and i get nagged to use wifi).
if verizons is like sprints it eould be under settings-> more settings-> mobile networks and switch it from cdma/lte to cdma

yeah, i looked there, but the only options are LTE- verizon internet and EHRPD- verizon internet
does anyone know if the EHRPD is cdma only?

Use the app called Phone Info (free in the market) Open it and choose device settings. Scroll down and click in the box with the arrow in the lower right corner and select whatever reception you want.

^this is truth and the most popular way to switch to 3g
so is it just "cdma only" that we want using the phone info program or something else? there's a ton of option in the drop down.

you want cdma auto (prl). CDMA Only won't give you 3G.
Switching back to 4G
Quick Question....I've used this app to bump my phone into 3G and it works great, but now I can't get it back to 4G. I'm with Verizon, and I've tried all of the LTE settings in the drop-down menu. How can I get my 4G back?

If u are using jelly bomb theme there seems to be an issue with getting back to 4g. If u aren't just select LTEcdmaevdo and u should be back to 4g

I had to flash back to stock to get 4g back. I re flashed synergy and stopped using the app.

Argh....I flashed back to stock, and still no 4G. I even took the SIM card out for a few minutes and reseated it. This is frustrating. I checked my other phone, the trusty old Thunderbolt and it has 4G. I thought that there may have been an issue since we had heavy storms, but if that old clunker gets it, then the SG3 should. Also, mom came over with her Nexus and her 4G is working as well.

Called Verizon Tech Support (besides being upgraded to the 20GB Data Share plan), and there's something wonky with my SIM card. Need to go get a new one tomorrow. Oh well....I won't use that tool again.

Hello,
I have a stock rooted Blaze 4G. In the Settings, I make sure that NFC is enabled, but it does not seem to work. I downloaded a bunch of NFC apps, and none of them could pick up any RFID tags (e.g., parking meters, work badge, US passport, etc). The battery states that it has NFC.
After I rooted my phone, I got rid of a lot of T-Mobile bloatware, so I am wondering whether I could delete something that would affect NFC.
I do not know if it is a software or hardware bug and whether this is a bug at all, so I would really appreciate any suggestions or comments. Thank you.
im running tweaked 1.6 and nfc works for me... you ha e to enable in settings and use an app but i can send bookmarks and contacts and data between phones at least.. i havent found any tags to scan yet...
if youre thinking that you might have dumped some apps that you need, i would reccomend flashing tweaked, it is unbloated and smooth....

Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
I tried Tweaked v1.6, and the NFC still did not work I could still try to flash the stock ROM, but I really doubt it would work either. I guess it is a hardware defect, and unfortunately, I cannot bring it back to T-mobile as I left them a while ago. I do not really use NFC often (apart from SF parking meters), but it is nice to have a fully functioning phone.
nfc on android phones only works with a frequency of 13.56 mhz so perhaps the tags you are scanning are on a dif frequency

The US passport works on 13.56 MHz frequency, but my phone cannot pick it up. Parking meters clearly say NFC, and my phone cannot pick them up either, so I have to enter the long number manually.
my phone doesnt even have NFC
my battery says near field communication on it, and the option to turn it on is in wireless and network settings... did you by any chance change your battery?
i have deffinately sent stuff between phones, but havent found a tag to scan yet...

Yes, the battery is stock, and it says Near Field Communication. I have not tried to use it to communicate between phones, but that is not what I would use it for on a daily basis anyway.
So at first wifi seemed good, range is better than my epic, speeds good as well(throughput anyways) but I've noticed a lot of disconnecting lately and having to toggle my wifi on and off to connect a lot. I'm not sure on this next part but I believe it all started when enable smartaction features. I tried toggling, dhcp versus auto, no difference. I'm thinking that maybe there is a cache somewhere in the driver that is not clearing properly creating network handshake issues, but that is a speculated thought based on very little knowledge. A little extra info, I have experienced this on both my dual band wifi N netgear at home, and a single band wifi G netgear at work, I'm stock no root(yet). I am semi noob when it comes to networking but I do have enough knowledge to setup securely a wifi network and do basic troubleshooting. Any thoughts on this? I am gonna try disabling all smartactions as well and see what fruitation arrives from that.

lol, don't think it was necessary to go to those lengths... Just disable any SmartActions is the suggestion.
I have a few night time / low battery smart actions - and I guess I never really use wifi during those periods. During the day when I do use wifi and the smart actions are not in use, I don't have any wifi issues.
Interesting theory for sure, especially since it is a new and perhaps only partially tested Motorola product. Would be nice if this is a workaround, at least there's something to look into .
I don't think it has anything to do with Smartactions....the couple of times I've experienced Wi-fi disconnects I never had any of those running. It seems to be more of a seemingly distance/threshold sort of thing to me.

I've never really experienced any disconnects that I couldn't attribute to distance...
Some here have said that wifi disconnects within feet of the router and VERY frequently. I can't say I've ever experienced that on this device...
My wifi issues were definately not range based, but I have yet to experience the issues I was having before since disabling the smart actions, but I will play around with renabling when I have some time and see if I can narrow it down, I have a feeling it was the sleep profile and I'm pretty sure I left it at defaults other than times.

Through the STOCK phone dialer put in ##106157#. It will reset a lot of wonkiness and do another hands free activation, updating ports, PRL, etc on a level more in-depth than the System Updates option.

Not related to smart actions, but maddening nonetheless...
Go to "Settings" --> "Wifi" --> "Menu" (Bottom right) --> "Advanced" --> "Show Reminders" - uncheck.
