sometimes I get awfully slow data, and when this happens the 4g icon tells me that it's uploading and downloading something both arrows are filled in. I also had this problem on my s5 anyone else experiencing this or know a fix?
I do not have anything thing backing up or syncing
Are you using the new sim card that came with the phone? Have you done a factory reset? Have you called Tmobile to report the issue? What have you done to troubleshoot the problem?

Happens to me everyday at work. But I attribute it to an overly saturated area. I work at Legacy and DNT where you have shops at Legacy, Ericson HQ, Yum Brands HQ, BofA HQ, JC Penney HQ, Frito Lay HQ, FedEx HQ.
And it's only going to get worse since Toyota HQ, Liberty Mutual HQ and Chase are building in the area.
Only happens on LTE though, I manually switch off LTE and go to 4G(HSPA+ only) and I get excellent signal and can actually use data which leads me to beleive again it's due to over staturation

it seems like its being caused because android os is using a gig of data everyday, its uploading stuff in the background
Turn off backup app data in your google account settings and make sure auto backup is off its under backup and restore or something like that in settings.

I promise you. Just turn off the things I said. Before and after screen shot. It fixes it. You can also download netguard from the play store and restrict background data for apps on an individual basis. Hope this helps.

Works, but what's this business about a subscription? Seriously, I'll hang with youtube or dailymotion at the moment. I really don't think I need to be charged for mobile tv considering how much the carriers are taking it out of our asses with regular service and data. Not to mention sucking up my limit for the month and then running me into overages.

when at home or whenever possible .. jump on wifi .. when im at home i watch all kind of live streams on my nexus with wifi and plays smooth as butter ..
whether it be live streams of movies for channelsurf or nfl football,nba, or regular tv shows its all good...
since its over wifi doesn't affect your tmobile or whatever carrier u have data limit
Got it working on mine. It keeps asking for the subscription thing. Theres some decent free stuff on it, but most of it you need a subscription for. Cool app none the less, thanks.
this would just be perfect as someone mentioned before if it could be hacked, so it isn't a trial and is free.
took a little bit of playing around with but now its working great
Wont work on CyanogenMOD6 (Kang-0-rama v1.0)
BOOO!!! no tv app ever work
Well, I got it working on the mytouch 3G slide. The only problem is that the display is a little smaller, so some of it gets cut off. The live TV works just fine, and if I tap the video it centers it full screen... It still cuts a little off at the bottom (or some on the right side if it's not full screen)
Is there a way to shrink that down a bit so it doesn't get cut off?
installed> accepted trial> started watching limited TV on 3G. Its a good start.
i cant see the trial subscription page...am i the only one?
I had my galaxy nexus for a month and I couldn't stand sprint( even tho they have "unlimited data") so recently moved to T-Mobile whihapperently had best coverage . And I like the service for the time that I had it so far so I was checking my data usage and i saw the Android data usage is really high never happened on my nexus so I was wondering if anyone have any idea what could have been using ? Thanks

I've been having a similar problem on the two Moto Defys in my family. Onavo Count shows Motorola Blur as using data at the rate of tens of MBs per day even though no apps requiring data were being used. I confirmed the total handset usage with Tmobile and then tried using Go Launcher EX instead of Blur, and sure enough the mysterious data usage disappeared. I still have no idea why a stock launcher would do such a thing, but everything points to it. You're problem may be completely different, but I'd start looking into alternative system apps if it persists after a hard reset.

I know this is an old thread, but in case it comes up in a search for someone else, I had this problem and it was solved easily. I didn't turn off my sync for gmail, etc. I just went to Settings>Privacy> and un-checked the option to back up my settings. I think my phone was using cellular data to back up my apps and all their settings to google's cloud, which was causing my data use to skyrocket. Un checking that box solved it.
Hey guys,
So I have this reoccurring problem on Google Now where it always thinks I am a few miles away from my house when I am actually at my house. I was wondering if there was a way to essentially "factory reset" Google Now? I want to open Google Now be able to set it up as if I was using it for the first time ever. Clearing the app cache doesn't work because it will just ask me to sign in using my email and then all my info is imported and my problem is still there. I know I have my correct address input because I have continuously gone through the set up process of that specific card to try and fix it.
Here's a screen shot to show what I am talking about.

Google Now tells me I am currently 8 minutes away from home, yet I am home! If I open the card to navigate GPS recognizes that I am in fact at home!! [emoji35]
Anyways any help to fix this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Take out battery and then put back it in...that should work

Wow can't believe I never though of that! Thanks, you're a genius!!
You might see what your location services settings are. If Google now only had access to your cell tower-based location, it might be off by a few miles. Whereas your navigation app probably has permission to use your GPS. This seems especially likely if your navigation app isn't Google maps which may point to a restriction of all Google apps to location data.
On an unrelated note, I would be hesitant to publicly display something as personally identifying as a map pinpointing my house. Maybe I'm just paranoid from one too many SAEDA briefs.

If you're butt hurt about my sarcastic remark to your sarcastic answer, maybe you should keep your sarcasm to yourself since you clearly cannot handle when it's fired back at you.
I bought my S7 less than a week ago and I notice something odd happening with my mobile data connection.
When I'm using 3G (Mobilcom-debitel_Vodafone/Germany), my connection is consistently laggy. Every action that I require connection for takes a couple of seconds to be executed, if executed at all. For instance, click to download an image/audio/video/etc in whatsapp, it takes 5+ sec to start the download; open the browser, takes 5+ sec to load the page; open Deezer, takes 5+ sec to start loading the data... and so on. I notice this problem since the first time I used 3G on the phone. Everything is up-to-date and I installed the phone from scratch, app by app, no backup/transfer from other phone. On my previous S6 I didn't have this problem.
Some information that might be useful:
- I use 3G/2G (auto-connect), no LTE/3G/2G
- I'm usually with BT/Wifi/3G enabled at the same time, not necessarily connected to a device or network
- The data icon keeps the up arrow on, but the down arrow off until I actually receive data and the request is processed
- If I try to turn off the mobile data connection/put in airplane mode, it takes the same amount of time for the connection icon to disappear (5+ seconds)
Is it a known issue? Anyone with the same problem?
Try to restore your phone. helped me with the same problem.

Just checking: you know that the phone is brand new, 2 days old, right? Just checking... Also, since the first time I went outside to use 3G I noticed the problem.
Did you have this Problem by using WiFi only?
2nd Option is run a Speedtest (Ookla) to Check the ping.

No, I haven't. Just my usual ****ty router problems, but other than that the wifi is fine.

I did it already and there are no problems there, as you can see below. 3G speed on my plan is limited to 21mbps.

On a side note, I did a reset of the network settings and apparently it got better. I'm still testing it, can't say yet it's fixed, but I noted some improvement for sure.

As I posted, resetting network settings was apparently a solution, but this morning it was clear that something was still pretty odd.
I will consider starting from scratch. I'm so lazy, it takes a long while to config the whole phone again, but apparently it's worth a try.
Just got one for a father's day gift and I've been using the watch for the past week. Love it, but can't stop feeling that I'm not using it to its full potential. Thought maybe if I got some questions answered here, I would feel better.
1. what's the GPS, Wifi options for on the watch? I don't have GPS on right now, but Wifi is enabled. Not sure what app uses it, but I thought everything was connected to the phone through BT, so didn't need additional connections on the watch. Can someone clarify?
2. The weather app that's pre-installed is slow to refresh...meaning when I travel from city to city, I want to know what the weather is like in the next city (current temp, etc.), but can't for the life of me figure out how to manually refresh current location?
3. I only can read the last message in a string of text messages....is there no way to look at all unread on the watch?
Thanks in advance for your help guys!
Gps: use for workout apps, tracking distance, Mapping, directions. Wifi in case you don't have phone nearby-can use Wi-Fi service where you are. The Gear S3 can operate on its own, without having to be connected to the phone.
Weather app- well you can manually refresh it and it should update when you so that. Also many weather apps available for it.
Messages - you should be able to scroll up once you click on the person, to see previous messages.
It can be a stand alone phone-if you left your phone at home and it's on, you can use the watch as a phone and receive and make calls on it, as long as it was Bluetooth connected to the cell phone before you left.

For multiple message...I always see the number of unread message in a Circular icon at the bottom of the notification...I click on it...and all the messages are scroll-able.
