[Q] Google Play market Downloads VERY SLOW - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey gang, hoping someone else has had experience with this.
Just out of the blue tonight my play store downloads have become very very slow.
I'm running on Carbon Rom, and have been since Sunday, with no issues. My download speeds on speed test are the same as always, and web browsing, facebook, and everything else seem just fine.
Anyone else have this problem?

I had that quite a few times and usually is a server issue cause by a lot of traffic.

I hope it's just a server issue. i'm getting close to 30mb /sec on my 4g, and my wifi is fine too. Everything else is great except for the play store. I even flashed a different rom to see if it made any difference and everything was the same.

It is definitely server as everything should be slow in regards to 4g and wifi not just Google play.

Must be a server issue, it happens to me too. I just cancel and restart a few times and it's back to LTE speeds.

[Q] Anyone else Having wifi connection issues with the xoom?

Hey I was wondering if anyone else was having wifi connection issues with the xoom? Every time I use my xoom I have to keep retrying to load the market, webpages and everything else that uses data. Usually have to reload the market around 3-5 times to get it to work. I have tried 2 different routers and stilll the same thing. Please let me know if anyone else is having this issue and if there is a way to fix it. Thanks
P.s. When Im on 3G everything is fine
I get it but only with Market, I assumed it was a market issue.
On. 3G, for me, everything is dog slow, but I never get the Retry box.

Mine works perfect with my AT&T U-Verse gateway and tethered to my AT&T captivate. No problems here at all with wifi. Do you have problems with other wifi routers? Go to Starbucks or a friends and see if the same issue occurs. If not, there is something with your router that Xoom does not like.
I'm having WiFi issues as well. I don't have any issues with any other laptops in my house ... but my Xoom ... get very poor signal on WiFi and sometimes doesn't get any connection at all. This is serious buzz kill.
Mine is also choking on wifi. Switch to 3g and no problems. Annoying.

Hardly surpisring when the antenna is surrounded by glass and plastic
Wifi is suspect on the Xoom. I cannot get a connection to my secure wireless at work but I can connect to the less secure guest wireless network. I also could not initially tether with my phone (TMobile Vibrant) but after I downloaded Mobile AP I was able to tether just fine and have not had any issues since then.
No complaints here to report. I'm pulling in on average a speed of 17mbps download on most days from my home wifi network. Quite the speedy little guy my Xoom is.
WiFi hasnt been a problem for me either.
So far, I've used it on 4 different wireless networks (G and N/G), using various security options and I connect to each without fail. Hell, Ive even seen the Xoom connect to WiFi when driving down the street towards places that I have it configured to see.
I did have some trouble at one point due to my DNS and DHCP servers being offline. I didnt suspect any issues with them, so I spent more time than I should have troubleshooting the Xoom.

Always Connecting...
Greetings All,
I have been having issues as well after the update. The wireless always disconnects and connects and doesn't stay connected. No problems with my Droid X or laptop or other device.
Problem is that now I'm getting very close to going over my data plan.
Is there a fix in the works, since it worked perfectly with 3.0
Annoyed...

UPDATE: Uninstalled the leaked Flash 10.2 and that has fixed the problem, somewhat. Still disconnects, but less.

Wireless issue fixed....
Greetings again,
Even after uninstalling flash, the problem persisted somewhat. I was getting very frustrated and so I reset the xoom to factory settings. A few notes on that. All applications were reinstalled, through the market which is good and bad.
So far, after 2 days of heavy wireless use, not a single drop in wifi connectivity.
Hope this helps...

So far my wireless is great. I use WP2 Secure at home, a WEP at my parents, and a MAC based approval network at work. All are steady with full bars and no issues.

Its the encrypton protocol, WPA2 with AES will cause problems.
TKIP works.
I also have random issues. Some days its just fine, but other days wifi works and then stops working, usually a reboot fixes it.
Must be some wifi issue.
I have a fully factory stock xoom and have had NO wy fy problems at all! internet conection firm and stable. I intend not to root my zoom untill all the important updates are done and stable. I also am waiting for my 4G card install. I have WPA2 with AES and the xoom conected to it with NO problem
I haven't had any problems with mine whatsoever. I think it could be your router. My Xoom stays connected with my router and I haven't had a single problem so far with connected wifi.
My PS3 needs a router reset every single time I want to play Black Ops though.
ihad this issue. I think it may be hioneycomb and not xoom related because I experienced it on the acer iconia. The good news is that I resolved my connection issue with wifi. On the surface it looks like a dhcp handshake issue so, if you assign your xoom a static ip from your router, the issue goes away and all is good.

Error downloading with WiFi.

Am I the only NS user that has problems with the wifi? Usually if I try to download something either from the market or the web it gives me an error that it cannot download, but that doesn't happen with 3g. It does not matter what router I use, or if I'm far or near the router. I can surf the web good it only happens when I download things. Any ideas?
I'm using CM7 nightly #40, but it happens with all the roms.

When I download something I just put my cellphone near from my router!

I'm bringing this up because I am having 4G issues in my place. The data cuts in and out a lot, and sometimes hangs with the up arrow lit, forcing me to use 3G for the time being. I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems.
I am also thinking if VZ is throttling or not, but 17 days into my billing cycle so far, I have used only 2.5 gigs, hardly a reason to be considered excessive.

I doubt verizon is throttling. You are proly in a 4G fringe area. If you don't need 4G all the time, you should change the radio to CDMA auto. Your battery will quickly drain looking for 4G signal (or trying to hold on to a weak signal)

I posted a question like this on the q and a forum. Its not your phone. I am having problems with 4g in okc and im not the only one. People on rootzwiki are having the problem too in Texas. I believe its a verizon issue

I'm well inside the 4G area, and it worked well where I live until about a week ago, and its been flaky ever since.
what25,
You are not alone. Did you find a solution to the problem? If not, I hope you didn't do anything drastic.
I also have the problem (in Houston, on thunderbolt) and have found others on xda dev and rootzwiki that are having similar issues (also in Houston area). It's not just you. It also seems to be only thunderbolt users.
I'll post the links to others having the problem. Also, have you noticed it in general or has it only been with certain apps. For a while it was a problem with my 4g connecting. Now the 4g is connected but hardly loads. Plenty of apps seem fine, maybe slower. But it is mainly Google services that don't work. My Google voice doesn't work at all. I don't get notifications for new messages and the messages don't load in the main screen. Google plus doesn't load at all. Youtube is very slow, and the stock browser is also barely usable. I've had the problems for about the past 4 days (I think I really started noticing on Friday). These problems only occur on 4g by the way, not 3g.
Please respond if your situation sounds like it's the same problem.

Same problem here! Houston area

Same here (Webster). I started the thread at Rootzwiki, here are the details of my problem:
"I'm having the strangest problem, my browser is not cooperating with 4G. Especially with Google, the progress bar just sits there nearly indefinitely. It can load full sites, such as topgear.com, but it hangs at the end before the bar is full.
I can toggle down to 3G and it works fine. I'm currently running the OTA MR2 radio. This started, however, some time after I flash Chingy's latest leak. I've flash radios back and forth a couple of times, cleared cache and dalvik, clear Internet application data, I've even done a complete wipe (wiped everything twice) and re-flashed without restoring anything what so ever. Nothing works other than toggling down to 3G.
That being said, it's not a connection issue. I can tether and it runs great, speed tests ran from the phone have good results and most application that use data are fine. I'm baffled.
Any suggestion? Any one ran into something like this?
Thanks."

Yea I would describe the situation as very similar.
The browser would be very slow, or sometimes hang, when trying to load a webpage. When on 3G, everything works fine. My GMails have been getting delayed notifications on 4G as well. Havnt checked youtube, but I assume a similar situation would arise.
I switched back to mr1 radio and lte to no avail. What the hell, it's been 4 days. Has anyone contacted Verizon about this issue yet?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Apparently the issue has to do with the DNS settings. Not sure why Verizon changed their DNS on us. Here's a thread on rootzwiki that contains the solution to fixing.
rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1763-Browser-not-liking-LTE&p=39618#post39618
i called and no one has reported it. i put in my report and after so, i decided hey i wanna try the nightly synergy. 7/25 on 2.75 radio, now everything works. but just to make sure i wiped and flashed cm7 and omgb back for a fresh start, 4g locked on but still had the same problems. im in the Houston area as well, i work downtown and live off 8 and the not so newly opened 90, i get great coverage never loose 4g.
Very odd. If it was due to a particular radio, it should have resolved when you flashed another. If the fix posted by strwberrybened does not work, grab SetDNS from the market & change to GoogleDNS or OpenDNS
Yes, no 4G in Deer Park at around 3:15 pm this afternoon. I was at my doctor's office and noticed that I only had 3G. I was unable to access the Internet via my T-Bolt and rebooted, it restored the Internet but not 4G. I am charging my phone now and will check again soon. I am using the leaked radio posted just a few days ago on the RootzWiki site.
I'm in Deer Park too, also 4g is back to normal. About time, just do a normal reboot and 4g should be back to normal. No more 4g lag!

[Q] Google Talk Lost Connection Problem

I have the Skyrocket for a day and a half and have had "Lost Connection to server. Messages will be sent when online." occurring constantly. It can happen while using 4G or Wifi, signed into a gmail account on another computer or not. My WiFi connections are set to never sleep.
The solution often seems to be to wait five seconds and it reconnects, occasionally I've had to out and back into Google Talk.
I've found lots of reports of similar problems around the web for different phones and no solutions yet.
Any ideas?
Mine was doing that a lot and I use it to talk to my wife overseas. After I rooted it and downloaded bloatware free and just froze useless things i realized it wasn't doing it anymore. It could be a coincidence or idk wth I'm talking about. Only other thing could be ur data connection could be screwed or hogged by other application which is causing it to consistently disconnect. Let me know how it works out.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I'm still having this issue, and it is quite annoying. It is still around after having rooted the phone and cleared all the private data to sign in with a different gmail account.
If you are also having the problem then it might be good to post about it here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=22570
as always, let us know if you have an idea of what might fix this. If I I figure out flashing a rom I'll let you know the results, but some of the posts in the link suggest that this doesn't always solve the issue.

[Q] Problem with mobile data browsing

:Fixed: It was a Hyperdrive ROM issue for some reason. Dunno what it was, but I liked the ROMs. Just like browsing the internet more
Posted this on other forums with zero results. Hopefully I can get some help here because my mobile data browsing has become basically un-usable now. I don't even bother getting on the internet unless there is a Wifi connection close by.
I have a Verizon S3 rooted with Hyperdrive RLS14 ROM on it, and out of the blue last week, my internet became ungodly slow. It'll get to the 50% mark, and just stay there for 30-40 seconds before opening the page. Looking at the up and down 4G arrows, they just seem to stop for a while like it isn't asking for data anymore, then it resumes.
It works perfectly on Wifi, and when I do bandwidth tests on mobile data, the dl speeds are slower than normal(8Mbps now vs. 35Mbps before), but still within the acceptable range. I have tried it in multiple large cities, and it still seems to freeze up on websites. I haven't installed any new programs either. I feel like I am trying to look at porn with dial-up internet. Any ideas?
I do have unlimited data and it hasn't ever been throttled on my account.
Things I have tried so far:
new SIM card
3 different browsers; FF, Boat, and Chrome
Scanned for viruses using AVG
rebooting
Fixing permissions via recovery(twice)
Deleting everything off of the phone in recovery mode and re-installing two different versions of ROMs (RLS14 and RLS15)

1) I have tried both Hyperdrive ROMs a couple of times to no avail. Thing is, it worked fine up until two weeks ago
2) I'll give that a shot later this afternoon, but still no idea why it randomly did this
3) I have a few friends with the Verizon GS3, and they haven't had any problems with internet browsing. It is also happening in two large cities with full 4G coverage
I'd like to figure out why this happened to prevent it next time. Like I said, I didn't do anything different to the phone. It just randomly stopped working.

I am not exactly sure what this means, but from my searching, I have attached an image where I believe it displays the radio.

Bump because this issue is ongoing, and has actually gotten a little worse. I upgraded my baseband to MF1 and it did nothing. In the RLS15 Dev thread, it seems like a few other people are having the exact same issue
Did a bandwidth test in New Orleans earlier and the results were:
ping 122ms
dl 48.41 Mbps
ul 18.07 Mbps
Definitely fast enough, but internet browsing is basically non-existent now. Every other app that uses mobile data works perfectly, just not any internet browsers(Boat, FF, Chrome)
