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.

Yeah, I know it's happened to me too with a brand new Galaxy s7

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.

Hello friends. I'm going to try to tell my problem in English.
Wifi signal is draining my battery since three days ago. I've read a post of a user who solved it, cleaning the golden contacts of the back cover. I've tried it, but it does not work. As i said in the other thread, I'm not root
What can I do?

was tempted to say charge you battery or stop using wifi
But, first you should provide us with more details like ROM version, radio, full details of your bootloader screen so that we can understand you device more.
What have you tried apart from cleaning the contacts, full wipe, factory reset etc?
thanks ben
Thanks for your help ben!
I have the same general settings, sync settings and same apps than before the problem.
More details from my device:

I have no tried factory reset cause it`s a big problem to lose everything, but if that´s the only way to solve the problem, I can try it. I downloaded a free app and I´m going to calibrate the battery in a few minutes. is that like to do a fullwipe?
Thanks again for your help and sorry for my English. I do my best.
suggestions would be to install an application like battery monitor widget to produce a history of your power consumption, so that you can analyse what is using all the power.
Check the following settings
Settings->Wireless & Networks->Wi-fi settings->(Menu button)->Advanced->
Wifi Sleep Policy = Never
Best Wifi Performance=OFF
Consider which new application youve installed in the last three days?
What has changed?
Thanks a lot ben! I think that´s the solution.
My device looks like this:
Wifi Sleep Policy = Never
Best Wifi Performance=ON
I've unchecked Best Wifi performance, I think my girlfriend was trying to connect to her wifi network the day when I noticed the problem. Maybe she checked this option. She says she didn't check anything, therefore I'm sure that she checked it.
Thanks again.

in which case, she certainly checked it that could be the end of your problem.....that setting improves the the wifi connection at the expense of additional battery consumption.
so install and run the monitoring as suggested above and report back in a couple of days.
So I got a text message from Sprint less than 10 min ago saying I could save battery life by turning ON WiFi is this true?Anyone else received this?

ive seen this somewhere else though im not sure how valid it is because not only is it searching for wifi, apps are still using your 3g/4g. though i could be wrong on that.

Yes, Sprint's been pushing wi-fi for some time now. It's all over the online account section of the website. No reason to be concerned.

Wifi uses the least power as long as you're actually connected to an access point. If you're not, the wifi radio only wakes up for about 15 seconds every few minutes to scan for networks it's previously been connected to. This is assuming you have wifi set to always stay on (default behavior) instead of turning off while the display is off.
I've hit 3 days on a single charge if I kept the phone on wifi and worked from home. Personally, I leave wifi on, but have Tasker set to disable it when it connects to my car stereo over bluetooth (and re-enable as soon as the stereo disconnects). No point having it on when I'm driving, but I have that setup so that it disconnects from my home router when I get in the car, forcing it to connect to 3G so I can start streaming music.

Of course they're pushing it, it saves them money if you use wifi for data. While it does save you battery if you use wifi and have a steady wifi connection I wouldn't put much merit in anything any company pushes.

I really don't think Sprint cares about our batteries ... just trying to minimize our data usage on their network.
Hello,
I would like to know if anyone is experiencing these issues after flashing to CM 10 (nightly or M2) and if you are experiencing them have you found a fix.
1. When I am in a 4G LTE area my service drops and keeps switching between 3G and H+ but it never picks up LTE.
2. It takes a really long time to send a MMS.
3. Screen times out when typing in the quick reply box for texting.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, it seems kept only getting 4G the other day regardless what I did. After reregistering my network (Settings -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> Network operators -> AT&T) now every time I text it would go 3G/HSPA+ then back to 4G so I though that was normal.
I don't get any lag when I'm texting anyone. and when I go to quick reply it screen doesn't time out.
This is on the 101412 build. I did reinstall my stuff last night to get the new gapps 101112 but I doubt that would've made any difference.
I would try re-registering your network and see if that helps any.

I just re-registered. I'll wait for a few hours to see if I notice any differences. Hopefully that'll fix some of my issues.

Hi All,
I got my Nexus 5 few hours ago (after trying out the Nexus 4 but not feeling it) and have been setting it up the way I want it, and then about 30 minutes ago its stuck on edge and i ve switched between 4g and 3g but no luck, i've restarted the device as well no luck. I have a friend who has a Nexus 4 who had this issue a while ago until it self resolved after a few days but I don think I can cope with just edge connection.
Is anyone else having this issue and what can I do to resolve this or what advice has anyone got for me.
Thanks in advance (made me realised once again why I stuck with HTC)
i have the same problem, any idea's?
Try entering *#*#4636#*#* in to the dialler, going to phone information, scrolling down and changing the network type to another one.

Does this setting persist through a reboot?
Also, I'm on Sprint and having a similar issue with being stuck on 3G. Does anyone know which setting if any will give priority to LTE? It seems the phone only operates on LTE when I choose "LTE only" which is really not what I want to set it on permanently. None of the other settings seemed to give any favorable results. Thanks all.
I think I wrote LTE a few too many times.

Hi all, I have the same problem, the dispostivo get stuck in 2g network - edge.
For me to run, switch to WCDMA only with *#*#4636#*#*
It is a very annoying bug, it has happened every 4 or 5 days.
My Nexus 5 works on EDGE or LTE, but will not switch to HSDPA any more. Software is 4.4.4 Any ideas?
I tried factory reset from recovery, still the same.
Flashing the android l radio improves o2 network reception in the uk
I tried this and it keeps changing back to the setting it had before .. Do I just back out after changing it or do I have to click something else ?
Today i went on business trip and while on plane i put airplane mode on. Upon landing i couldn't connect to network anymore, it gives me 2 errors depending if i manually select network or try automatically, those 2 are Unable to connect. Try later and Error while searching for network.
I reset network settings, restarted phone, reset it, tried different sim in my phone and it didnt work either, mine did in other phone. I dont known what to do besides wait to go home and give it to service since its under wattany... any ideas please?

You didn't say but have you tried a reboot?
At least20 times, wiped cache too
Came home and network works... I'm still taking it to service but don't know how they'll or I can test it. Other sim produced same error abroad so it's not that...
Edit:
Bit of an update:
I called my warranty place they said phone is from Italy which now made sense but that it should work. I ran imei check and it says blacklisted. I bought it new unsealed with warranty from official place so now I'm gonna need a new phone, right?
It is the bug of Samsung. I am having the same problem all the time on both S8+ and S7Edge. Iphone 6 is fine. Typical answer form Samsung is 'network or sim' related. O2 is saying problem with your phone. When I choose network manually everything is working. As a fix you can turn 4g off when roaming
