Hello, sometimes I have this problem that I randomly can't use 3G data. The 3G icon is still grey (if there's no data its brown), but nothing that requires internet works. Also, the two small arrows near the 3G icon show me that no download is taking place (no down pointing arrow) and only upload arrow is active. Does anyone else have/had this kind of problem?

Same problem here
It could be the APN? Does LTE or Edge work?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
It happens randomly, I am not willing to test the crawling EDGE and I don't have LTE either. I'll add that my previous phone didn't have this issue.

I had a nexus 4 that cut out and bars went at my mates, a 3 blackspot. My Nexus 5 shows bars but looses data and sometimes says I need to insert a working sim and reboot. None of this happens at home. It's like the phone has a breakdown with a weak signal!

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

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

I'm using an infuse 4g with JB 4.2.1 cm ROM. I unlocked my phone and put in a T-Mobile prepaid sim.
I'm supposed to have 4g consistently but I'm getting 2g(edge), 3g(umts) and on very rare occasions I get 3g(HSDPA)... Its approximately 70%-%20-%10, respectively. And these changes are all happening in the same household. No tower switching.
I only have the option to switch on 2g only in my network mode settings on cm10... APN settings are correct and all T-Mobile can say is that I won't get 4g if the tower doesn't support it..
Are there any possible solutions to obtain 4g at all?
If so, how do I keep it on all the time?
Do I need to install a new modem?
If so, which?
Any comments and/or answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Using Uckl2 at the moment. FYI.
Also, I know the modem is for WiFi but does it affect carrier data? If not what can I change to affect my data connection?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I always thought the opposite. I thought modems were only for mobile data. But does switching modems help?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Could increase or decrease your signal and rate at which data is downloaded and uploaded depending on your modem of choice. Battery life is also affected minimally (usually).
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Hmm, didn't know that... Well thanks for the lesson but have you tried switching modems?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I switched through a couple and uckl2 seems pretty stable but no change on carrier network service.. I want to put on kl3 but I can't find the download.. Not too many options for my phone though.. That I know of.

It might just be your location.

Since I changed to cm10 and switched to T-Mobile sim I have yet to have 4g. Tried where I'm at now and up to 70 miles from here... Very weird. I can't tell if its T-Mobile or the ROM.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Have you had it before on the same phone? Have you tried using another 4g phone?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I had 4g on it before, on att and on metro. Both while using stock Froyo rom and GB aeon rom.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Weird, it sounds like its the network then
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that's what I'm thinking but when I called T-Mobile, they said that they cannot diagnose a non-tmobile phone. The only info that they can give me is that they assume its my location and possibly the modem but they cannot guarantee switching modems will work. Doubt they hack phones though, Lol
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
from my recollection..not from experience:
T-mobile or networks other than AT&T will only give you: edge or 3g.
No 4g or hpsa+
to get better than 3g, you need to be on AT&T
When the phone is on "H" I ran a speed test and its pushing 5 to 7 mb download speed. Is that close to 4g?
Any advice on how to stabilize the network?

Tried searching and could not find any settings that worked for me. On my N4 I used what is on the simple mobile site and I had internet but no mms. Now I cant even seem to get the internet to work. I have tried different settings I found online but none seem to work for my N5. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

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.

I'm not taking about making calls the n5 gas issues when switching between towers I will lose signal for a while and cant receive or call any text.

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.

Set location mode to Device only in Android settings.
Why is it happening? The device keeps waking up to refresh it's location.
Really? Wow. Thanks for the info. I'll try it out and see what happens
