For the last week or so I've noticed my dbm goes anywhere from -78 to -109. It doesn't appear to be a ROM issue (Aloysius, xtra sense, Kaos, TazzCyanFroyo), and I've flashed some radios to see if that fixes the problem.
I've tried the *#*#4636 trick, for some reason on the TazzCyanFroyo rom when I hit Select Radio, Get the force close, it kicks me out of the prog so I can't see if that option is still set to GSM.
I've also noticed my 3g kicks down to 1g. Frequently. I'm missing a ton of texts, and some of mine aren't going through. I dug around on here, but didn't exactly see anyone running as a high a dbm as I am.
Does this mean I have to unroot and drag my ass to Verizon?
As an additional, maybe useless piece of information- I live in Florida and the weather here is not usually ideal. It's been super rainy/wet/muddy here lately, could the yucky weather be a contribution? I'd LIKE to think my paying through the nose for their sub-par service means I wouldn't have to face issues like this, but I also know technology isn't impervious to forces of nature.
Thanks for your reply, folks. I *ask* that you don't flame me, but I also sort of expect it.
Possibly a PRL issue? I don't suppose you live in or around an area that was formerly Altell strong? You may need to have someone smart at Verizon tech support send you a hybrid so your phone looks for other towers that it wouldn't otherwise lock onto. I read about an issue like this and that was the solution. Seems to me it was even in Fla.

It's incredibly likely, but I never even knew about that. Originally I came from South Carolina where my signal was excellent, but when I moved down here I never bothered to get my number changed.
Is it a piece of hardware that perhaps does it, or is it an internal program?
Where exactly are you? If you did move into a divested market that was bought by Verizon then it could be causing problems.

It's not hardware at all. Purely software programming. Actually, if you haven't dialled *228 since you moved that may fix your problem. PRL stands for prefered roaming list(or something close to that). Basically it's the program that tells your phone's radio which signals to pick up if you can't find a strong Verizon signal. In some markets, especially ones where Verizon has squires towers rather than built them, the default programming may not be looking for those towers even if the signal is very strong.
Try dialling *228 and updating your roaming capabilities and if that doesn't work a call to Verizon should really help.
I'm sure that this problem is not unique to me. I live in a small community with poor cell service. I have a vzw booster, it's placed in my living room. That way I get good service in my yard. The problem is that most people in my town have become aware of it. We have some really questionable people that have become quite a nuisance, the type of people who you don't want to know when you are home or not. It's really starting to bother my wife. We can't even sit in our living room anymore with the windows shades open. I know that this probably the best place to post this. Can anyone help me out with blocking numbers or something. I'd hate to have to unplug it, I've searched for the answer. But have officially given up. :'(
I mean really? I paid for it, shouldn't I be able to control access just like a router?
Unfortunately it is just extending the cell service frequencies. All the same rules apply that apply to a cell tower. I'm sure Verizon could control roaming of phones on the device, but any low level tech would probably deny the possibility. They probably just don't have a easy one click solution. But i would call them and complain. Tell them you have limited data on your home internet and you don't want the whole neighborhood using your service.
There is also the possibility that your extender could be a repeater of the closest tower to you, in which case you could never deny any phone service because it would also cut that phones service from the tower.
Good luck, please post any info you gather.

I found this in the FAQ, it may pertain to you.
Can I manage and secure access to my Network Extender?
Yes. Only the Network Extender account owner can sign in to My Verizon to manage device settings. You can set your Network Extender for Open Access or Managed Access.
Open Access allows any Verizon Wireless phone within range to use your Network Extender.
With Managed Access, you can prioritize access to your Network Extender to up to 50 Verizon Wireless callers you select. Where a compatible tower is unavailable, callers that do not appear on your Managed Access list may access the Network Extender when not in use by priority callers. All callers may access the Network Extender for emergency (E911) calls.
Also Section 2 in the manual it also mentions this.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/network_extender_user_manual.pdf
Everything I find says I can set a priority list for 50 phones, but not block. Idk
If you chose other reason, please let us know why

Guys, let me tell you this: Samsung announced the devices that are gonna be on JB and they dont gonna update this neither. They did this with our players and they are gonna do it again with this. Buy something else. A galaxy nexus Or a nexus 7 are betters options
If you dont believe me read this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...more-devices-soon-including-the-galaxy-music/
The galaxy music is a cellphone not this device
If the price is right, i will get it, but i doubt Samsung will release it for International market.
I'm waiting to see what they finally release. I've been thinking about getting a Galaxy Nexus and just using that.
tbh, I was gonna wait to purchase it instead of my 4.0, but I thought about the price + the chance it probably wouldn't fit in my pocket.
It's probably gonna be around $300 on launch (although I'm not sure) and I only had $200 at the time of purchasing my 4.0.
There was a company called Yepp in Korea and it's Samsung's.
It's a MP3P company and that's why our devices are like "YP"-G70 or else.
And Yepp company takes care of our device and firmware kind of stuff.
This means that Samsung is not really fond of MP3P as they are toward its phone, Galaxy S series.
I wouldn't recommend people to buy MP3P from Samsung. Cellphones I will recommend, but...... MP3P?
I'll have to ponder about it.

Actually, YEPP is not a separate company. That's the name they've given to their PMP (Portable Media Player) line. YEPP is an acronym for something, but I forget what it means.
As for the Player 5.8, I speculate that it will be at least six months for it to release in international markets, because that's how long it took between the release of the original Galaxy Player in Korea and the West.
I am definitely going for the Galaxy Note 2. I am very reluctant to buy another Galaxy Player from Samsung again, as they charge full price for obsolete hardware and leave their customers in the dark with upgrades
I'm probably getting an ipod touch then, even though I don't really like is and the small screen.
The thing is it's too expensive, I would've bought the $200 16 gb if Apple released it.
Still waiting to see how are they gonna price the ipad mini lol

GPS stands for "Global Positioning Satellites" and these satellites are the key to identifying your location on the earth. Devices with GPS have an additional part within them that allows your device to communicate with the satellites, and as a result the GPS satellites are able to pinpoint your coordinates on earth. Without a GPS receiver your device cannot communicate with said satellites, so no GPS positioning is possible outside any facilities. And, I say that because without a GPS receiver, the only other way to track your location is via your Wi-Fi connection. So, the location services you mentioned…I just explained them for you.
P.S. - Most technologies that exist as commodities now were first invented by the U.S. military. GPS is one of those technologies, as well as the Internet.

Yes. I remember back in the day, when I still had my HP iPAQ, I was using TOMTOM maps for navigation. At that time, no handheld devices came equipped with internal GPS receivers, so I had to buy a Bluetooth GPS receiver to use with TOMTOM.
Nowadays, most devices (but, I guess not iPod Touches) come with internal GPS receivers, allowing for offline navigation if you have the available maps cached on your device.

There are basically three ways to identify you location on the face of the planet - when you are connected to a wi-fi hot spot, its position can be identified (not yours, so it's appriximate), if your device has a gsm radio, so it can connect to a cellular network, then it can identify your location by your proximity to the nearest towers on this network, it's called agps and many devices nowadays use this to identify your approximate position on the globe, because it's quick, and once they know your approximate position, they use gps to get your precise location. Well, and the last one is gps, which was already explained, a gps chip inside your device talks to satellites in the space to calculate precisely where you are. The advantages of this method is that you don't need to be connected to the internet via wi-fi or 3g, it uses less energy, so lasts longer and gives you more freedom. You need to have some kind of mapping software to be installed on your device for this method to work (like abovementioned excellent TomTom or Garmin or iGo, there's a whole bunch of them), but once you have one of these, you have a full featured car/personal navigation kit, with voice guided turn by turn navigation anywhere in the world where you have map coverage.
BTW, SGP 5.0 makes and excellent gps!

You are correct, in a sense, to say that there are three methods of location detection. However, I respectfully disagree that location via tower belongs in the same boat as GPS and Wi-Fi detection.
Location detection via wifi is exact down to a few feet, which is based on an IP address. GPS tends to be very accurate, and depending on certain variables can be off by a few hundred feet.
Towers, as you mentioned, are more or less a means to an end. It offers a very, very general idea of location, but can off by up to miles. Again, as you mentioned this rough idea of your location is then more precisely pinpointed by GPS satellites.
Lol there is somebody who does not what is gps..i use GPS in my player 5.0 a lot with "my track" application ..and off course you can install some offline navigation for car ..i use IGo because it has best maps for my country ..(in apple maps in my country my town of 200 000 people does not even exist ..there is no on the map ) but for car i use tablet for navigation..bigger better hh.

Well, i wasn't categorising different ways of identifying your position, so you really have nothing to respectuffy disagree with. I just explained them all.
Location detection via wi-fi gives you the position of the wi-fi hot spot, so if you are close to it, your position is precise, if you are 100m away from it, your position will be 100m off. It is also stationary, it doesn't move with you, so it's useless for turn by turn navigation.
Location detection via towers can be quite precise (comparable to precision of gps location detection), depending on where you are. If you are in a densely populated area, like a city (with many towers around you), your location will be very/quite accurate, on the other hand if you are in a rural area, with weak signal you may not even get a fix.
My preferable way of location detection is through a gps chip in my device. This way i'm not dependant on any external factors (apart from satellites in the space and the charge of my device) and free to go wherever i want.

"The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver." Taken from Wikipedia.
It's used mainly for Turn by Turn direction and can be used to track travel distance. For instance I use the GPS with Runkeeper to track my runs/walks/jogs.
Location Service on the iPod uses Wifi Networks to triangulate your position. Which is good if your in a city with a lot of wifi access however if your not your boned.
I think the old Galaxy Players (4 and 5 inch) were made with spare parts from the entire Galaxy S (Vibrant,Captivate, etc) and Nexus S series which was quickly going obsolete. I seriously think that Samsung would support the new Galaxy Player series with legitimate updates. There's a pretty big gap in performance specs between devices that came out with Gingerbread and ICS and with the old Galaxy music player series coming out with Gingerbread, the performance before the ICS "spec bump."
I'm probably gonna pick up a 5.8 and develop ROMs for it if anybody was wondering. The specs should be enough for a few more years or Android releases

GPS files just allow for faster initial lock. It should work fine without. It might take a minute or 2 to get an initial lock once you first get here (not unusual when you make a big locational change while the GPS is off).
Keep in mind that GPS only supplies latitude, longitude and (approximate) elevation data. Maps, directions, etc. come from a mapping or navigation software (but people sometimes use the term "GPS" interchangeably with map/navigation software, which is confusing). For instance, with Google Maps you will either need to cache the map sections you will be using, or need to have an active data connection to stream the map data. Of course, if you have purchased 3rd party navigation software where the maps are stored on the SD card, then that is not an issue.
Have never used a pre-paid SIM in the states. So my experience is limited to my knowledge of the post-paid accounts (contract) in the US. AT&T and T-Mobile are the major GSM carriers in the US, with a variety of smaller "regional" carriers that typically just purchase bandwidth from AT&T or T-Mobile. I believe AT&T blocks the use tablets as voice call devices (on the cell network, internet call solutions such as Skype work fine), so T-Mobile (or a regional carrier that uses T-Mob's network) may be your best bet. I think T-Mobile supports voice on tablets, but I'm not sure of that.
Of course, your tablet will need to be SIM-unlocked.

Hi jprednik,
What you're going to want to do is modify your GPS.conf (this can be done with a market app). This file essentially tells the device what GPS maps server to use for faster locks. There are several servers for north america. I would download an app that allows you to switch those servers, or if you're brave enough (it's really not difficult, it's a text file) you can edit the server list yourself. You may want to verify that there are no GPS configuration settings in your build.prop too. You can pull the GPS server settings straight from the US Galaxy nexus system dumps if you want. That will give you the proper address google uses for GPS servers. Hope you enjoy Florida, from a Virginian.
Oh and as for prepaid...I think, don't quote me on this, you'll have good luck with StraightTalk wireless. They use AT&T bands, the largest GSM network in the US. Hope this helps!

As far as I know, AT&T does not allow voice calls on tablets. You might be able to get it to work by modifying build.prop or some other mod. But out of the box, I don't think it will.
Straight Talk gives you the option of picking either the AT&T SIM or a T-Mobile SIM. So Straight Talk may still be a good option. Lots of folks here seem to like the service, with reasonable prices, and widely available at Walmart stores (which are quite common in many places in the US).
Thx for the info.
To sum it up: if i leave mine flyer as it is, ill be able to get GPS lock in States. I ofc have igo app and maps instaled for states. It will onlly take a bit longer to aquire the satelites. I can modify Flyer in order to get faster lock.

I'd say that's a pretty good summary. I've taken my Flyer and also my HTC phone (One X) to various locations in Europe and Middle East, and never had any issue with GPS getting a lock, and never flashed any extra files.
Initial GPS lock may take a couple minutes when you first arrive in the US, as I mentioned. Its just the GPS system having trouble resolving what part of the world you are in, if it has changed drastically while the GPS is off. Ensure you have a clear view of a majority of the sky, and just let the GPS do its thing for a few minutes, and you should be fine. Then every time you use the GPS after that, the lock should happen much faster (10-20 sec). Being connected to a WiFi network may also help get that initial lock much faster (not sure if igo can read you location from WiFi networks, but Google Maps will).
Prepaid SIMs are certainly available. But just not as convenient or widespread as other parts of the world. And may also be a bit more expensive than you are used to. Its just the way the telcom industry works in the US. I've been to lots of places in Europe and Asia, where you can just walk up to a telcom vendor in the airport once you arrive. Its not like that in the US. You will have to go to a T-Mobile, or similar cell phone retail location. Or go to a Walmart store, and go to the cell phone department and ask about Straight Talk. Either way is pretty common, just not as widespread as getting a prepaid SIM in some other parts of the world.
Also keep in mind that 2 of the major cell carriers in the US (Sprint and Verizon, as well as a number of smaller "regional" carrier) don't even operate on GSM (they use CDMA), so cell phone stores (and networks) will be useless to you.

T-Mobile doesn't care what device you're using on a pre-paid SIM. You'll even get HSPA speeds depending on the coverage. I have a 3g Flyer on a T-Mobile prepaid SIM and I've not run into anything I cant do that works properly on a regular SIM-based phone. I'm running LeeDroid GB ROM, by the by.

Good info. One thing to note, however: HSPA speeds will only be obtained if the device is compatible with the AWS 3G band; or on the 1900 Mhz band in select markets (since those are the bands that the T-Mobile HSPA network functions on). Otherwise, the OP will only have EDGE speed. But it sounds like he just wants to use it for GSM voice calls, anyway.

I don't think there are apps that will tell you exactly where the cell towers are. If your provider has a website with a coverage map, you can usually tell generally where the towers are. I tried googling it, but couldn't find anything myself, about Tripoli.

There are various apps that supposedly do this, but I don't really trust them. I tried a couple, and they don't work. One, Signal Finder, shows a bunch of towers, but not where I know for a fact that they exist. Another, CellMaper, doesn't even show any towers. But it does have an option for Libya.
Frankly, I don't know if such a thing is actually possibe: your phone somehow detecting exactly where a tower is. That'd require some sort of triangulation or reverse GPS location or some such thing. Anything else would be merely a map with the locations included, or perhaps something proprietary for the tech support workers of the service providers.
You could always call your provider and ask. Or perhaps there's something from your government (like city hall, or public records) that has to disclose this kind of information on request. I have no idea if that sort of thing exists where you are.
