My mini pro was only about 8 hours standby, that is up ontil last week when danish 3 updated something on their net, now the phone is easy 2-3 days standby...
What 3 changed i dont know, but they had a big crash for a whole day here in denmark at the same time, and i didnt change anything on the phone...
Send from my X10, still without 2.1 *&%#
As i said i dont know what the operators net update was all about, but at the same time that i got mutch more standby time, many other have repported a network speed increse...
The funny thing is that i am not even using 3's 3g netwotk, as i live in an area with only 2g, and that is roamed free from an other operator here in denmark "tdc"...
But something has changed thats for shure, and it is not on my phones setup...
This was only ment as info to all of you who also have really short standby time... it can be something at the op side...

...how did you freaking do it? I have tried everything from the 1.47 to the 1.54 and still nothing. I am living in Japan using the Cingular/AT&T 8525 and am always ...constantly connected to the 3G( i always have either the "3g" or "H" symbol showing. Is there some other trick i can do to get my battery to last me through the day? I cant use my phone on the weekends cause of this issue...I will be away from a usb port for too long lol.
I hear there is GPRS network in Japan...is there a way you guys are connecting to that instead when the phone is idle to conserve battery life.
The thing I dont get is there HAS to be a way to fix this because my non PDA phone (issued to me by softbank) has great battery life and it is using the 3G network as well. It must be using some other kind of band or something to preserve its life. I hate having to switch to my crappy phone on the weekends because of battery life...please help me out guys. Thanks.
P.S. I owe this site so much ...as it is because of this site I am able to even use my phone here. THx in advance.
phone: cingular 8525
rom: black satin
radio: 1.54.07.00
(got mms, live ...and all the other stuff working thx to u all..just the battery is left)
not a softbank user, but you can try and disable 3g using a comm managers that has the 3g button.
like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320239
see post #24 for the one with a 3g button.
you other option would be to get an extended battery, see the threads in the accessories subforum
I was using the Black Satin ROM for awhile and my battery life was really short. Same thing with K's Roms. They both ran nice and fast, but the battery was almost dead before I left work.
i switched to the latest HTC WWE Rom. Battery life was instantly better. Lasts almost 2 days. I have a Softbank X01HT in the US and connect to AT&T 3G service. I get corporate email, so Active Sync is constantly running too.
hmm interesting suggestions I'll have to try them (yes the xtended battery one too) However, are you connected to the 3g network constantly..cause I am, and I'm almost certain that is what the culprit is. I am just baffled how other phones here manage last long here, I know I am doing something wrong in my connection settings. If i turn 3g off, phone can no longer recieve calls and basically stops being a phone. Dayum.
Hi,
I would like to ask you guys how much percent of battery take Cell radio (Cell standby) on yours devices.
I think, that on my device is 61% really too much. Even when I almost don't use phone, and I'm on GSM strange signal area it takes about 50% of battery. It's quite a lot I think. I also tried switch down any data (also 2g) and this high value is still same.
Somebody said that it takes over 3 days when he have to charge again. If I'm lucky, I will keep almost to 2 days.
Please report also verzion of your FW, kernel and if you have custom ROM (Prime, AmberHome, ...), customized (t-mobile, vodafone, ....) or stock one. Thank you.
radio means wifi gps bluetooth and stuff like that not necesary gsm and stuff
mine is about 40%
cheers
le : stock and optimus one by vodafon i think

I don't think so. Wifi and GPS or bluetooth are reported separately. It's just GSM.
Anyway thanks for share
Maybe will be fine also let me know next most battery consumation "parts". (my is
Cell standby - 61%
Wi-fi - 22%
Android system -11%
Im running megatron on tmo..cell stand by is 19% while android system is highest 53%
Before cell standby was 27% on AH.
This thread is about the famous 'data hanging' problem experience on SGS2's and how to address it on the Three Network in the UK. (Where the green arrow gets stuck on uploading with no download).
The problem from what I understand is that the handset constantly changes between GPRS, 3G, H and H+ to save power. Fast Dormancy is a setting the SGS2 uses to make this even more frequent.
The Three network is pretty flaky, and relies on 'borrowing' signal from other providers. This means EVEN MORE changes. The SGS2 doesn't deal with changes particularly well and due to the sheer number, often gets stuck when a new connection is formed. Cycling data connection will fix the problem temporarily
I get this problem with stock firmware a little and custom firmware a lot.
I do not want to be stuck on KE4 forever and I do not want Three's stupid games installed. I am very annoyed.
Update 19 August 2011
I spoke to Three today. I explained what happened and both the first line rep and his manager knew the problem that I have. They acknowledged that it is an issue that they are in talks with Samsung about trying to fix.
They told me that I can have an exchange, but that EVERY SINGLE ANDROID PHONE ON THEIR NETWORK has this problem.
However they still refused to give me a refund as I'm (well) out of my 14 day cooling off. I told the guy that under the Sale of Goods Act, if something doesn't do what it says on the box I can get a refund for an indefinite 'reasonable' amount of time.
I am getting a call back from his superior this week. Will report on progress, but this is big. Three are selling phones that they know don't work properly on a mass scale. I am going to use this to my advantage.
I bought mine sim free. Was on t mobile for a while and moved the 3 a couple of weeks ago. I've not noticed any problems as you've described. I once had this on O2 though and it turned out to be a localised network fault.
Are you using juicedefender? JD caused that same problem with my old Milestone, but so far it's fine on SGS2 on Three.

Hi guys. I have this phone on Three here in the UK and annoyingly, several times a day, the data stops working. It gets stuck with the uploading arrow in the bar (no download) and will just sit there.
Cycling the radio / flight mode brings it back to life for a few hours. Does anyone else on Three experience this? I need to know if mine is a faulty handset, or if its a network problem.
This happens regardless of which ROM I use.

Mike, mine is exactly the same. It will absolutely fly for most of the day (even sometimes days at a time) and then it will just get stuck. Press and hold power to deactivate, and reactivate 'data network mode' and is well again till next time.
Seems to happen more when the phone has been sleeping for a prolonged time but not always the case. Doesn't appear to be any pattern. Changing ROM makes no difference here and I've quadruple checked my APN settings.

Known issue.Is not carrier dependent.Same here with Vodafone Greece.Some guys told that is hardware fault and some software.I think is software problem

It is the modem firmware. Once I updated to kf2 modem the problem dissapeared.

This happens to me most days, I have been rebooting to get back online. I will try the flight mode on and off to see if that helps.
But this is obviously a problem with Three network. I just thought it was Three`s sneaky way of throttling my "as much as you can eat" data plan.
I have KF2 modem and the issue continues.
I am glad to hear that others face the same problem. Is anyone in the UK on another network experienceing it? My friend is on Vodafone and we have the same ROM. He does not experience the issue at all.
Does anyone have a link to a thread which documents this issue?
I rely on Whatsapp and Email for communication, and this stops both from working. I might actually have to send my SGSII back if it continues
I'm on Three UK and have not experienced this problem yet. Shall let you know if/when I do.

Ive definately had this recently. didnt have it b4 though.
I have this problem. Stops my LiveProfile from working properly. Its very random too.
Can be quite annoying.
Hopefully it's a software problem rather than hardware. Only time and updates will tell.
I'm on o2 network with stock KE7 XEU firmware.
Same as op. Three and on ke7
Just went to kf2.
Will see what happens
If anyone manages to fix this, please share.
Incidentally, my bluetooth does a very similar thing with my car stereo. It just freezes and requires cycling off and back on.
I'm on three and get the same issue.
I also do the flight mode recycle.
I'm also using juice defender.
It's not a major issue for me more of an annoyance

I just remembered something you can try. Change the APN from ( i think) three.co.uk to just 3INTERNET.
I also having this problem from last week. Before I do not have this problem. May be network problem.

So far, this appears to be working!
(although I can no longer check my usage on the Three mobile website, but that's not too much of an issue)
I'll keep this thread updated with my progress.
Incidentally, I did not get this issue until I started flashing ROMs - or at least I didn't notice it.
I've been having this issue the past few nights on Orange. Fine during the day but at night the data stops.
Reboot the phone and it comes back. Just about to try KF2 modem to see if that helps.
yeh i have the same problem.... i can be going on internet browsing away then 4-5 pages in it just stops... and takes 1-2mins load and then just stops all together.
i dunno why its doing it...
im gonna call THREE in the morning ask what the hell going on.

Please do let them know that a number of us are experiencing this. Although it doesn't seem limited to THREE, it definitely isn't on every handset.
Mine still hasn't done it since I changed APN as recommended above though.
I've got an Optimus V, it is a very fair phone for the price, but I'm having real issues with 3G, I often have no Internet, but I should - usually have 3G connection but no Internet.
My battery life is also very poor compared to my other phones.
Both issues are making this phone less than useful. I did try the AOSP CM7 mod a couple of months ago, and while I was on it, I didn't get the Internet issue (just may not have happened), but I didn't stay on it long as there was no SWYPE support and I am really used to SWYPE now and cannot live without it, so I'm back to stock.
If anyone has any insight on how to repair the 3G connectivity or the battery life I would really appreciate it.
NOTE: I looked through several pages here and did see a couple of notes about the 3G connectivity but nothing on how to fix it.
Hmm, well I've noticed if I do NOTHING literally but a few texts and calls, my phone will last about a day with 3G turned on, now, if you already rooted your phone ( I presume you have) you can turn off the 3G. For me (cause I'm always texting the girls ) with the 3G turned off, I can be sending 1200 texts and I'll still have battery for the end of the day.
As for the no Internet issues, I have no suggestions but to just wait, it happened to me one time, and I waited a day and it was back up and running, so it must have been on Virgin Mobiles side of the network.
Today I'm having issues with 3g connectivity on my Lumia. The phone just doesn't connect no matter what. I tried restarting it, pulling the SIM but no luck. At first I thought: my bad for cutting the SIM card myself, maybe after some time it got messed up. When I came home I grabbed my gf's 710 and it was behaving the same way (her SIM card is brand new). Coincidence? I don't think so. A friend of mine with the same carrier (H3G) just told me he had no issues whatsoever connecting using 3g connectivity, and he has a Nokia N97. This is starting to piss me off...anybody else having connectivity issues today? It must be something Microsoft/Nokia related. God I'm about to throw this thing off the window.
3g connectivity
I had the same issue the day i bought it..had to reset the phone for 3g to work again and today i face the same issue again!

My God I hope this is not the case, that would be annoying as hell...this is just too weird, why would this happen on two phones at the same time? Geez this is worse than on Android...
Hoping the same..Even im waiting for a workaround to make 3g work on my phone.
Ok, I just woke up and tried again, it works now Microsoft/Nokia have to do something about this tho, this is not acceptable...
Doesnt work for yet..still unablle to figure out why whatsapp is running fine but no other 3g activity happening. Please let me know if u had to do something for 3g to work.

Nothing special really, I simply let it charge overnight, picked it up in the morning and it was working. Yesterday I tried everything: plugged it to the pc, switched flight mode on and off, tuned it off for a few minutes but no luck. The last option would have been draining the battery completely then plug it to the pc to turn it back on, but that wasn't necessary. Really weird...i still need to check if my gf's 710 is working now.
Seriously, this is not good. I noticed it since yesterday again. I had it when I first got my Lumia. I have weird issues such as being able to stream music non-stop over 3G, yet being unable to make or receive calls. What I do to make it work? I switch to airplane mode and back.
I got both Lumia and MicroSIM for free; didn't have these issues for weeks. I got the newest firmware (12072) using cab sender, might be any constellation? Typed on my Lumia btw
Apparently my gf's phone is working as well now, gotta love these random bugs...
Happened the same here, suddenly I got no signal at all, tried everything, didn't want to format the phone so I just waited and some hours later connection was back, but 2g only, next day all was fine with 3g also workin

How long has it been going on like that? Mine started working again after about a day...
6 days now, really getting pissed off. I think its just a faulty model. I'm gonna try to factory reset. Anybody have any other ideas?
6 days is a pretty damn long while...do a factory reset and if the issue is still there you should definitely get it checked. I had no idea this thread would have gethered all of these people, this is something that Nokia should be really looking into...
So i called vodafone and they told me that when i took my new 2 year contract (and got the phone) i also got a new sort of contract that slowed down my internet.. while this makes sense it also doesnt because the speeds they were talking about should still have been fast enough.. But since i also only had 500mb i upgraded and the problem is now gone. everythings really fast again.
One question though: When i pick highest network setting i can only choose 3g.. but with my current contract plan i should get "H". anyone have any info on that?

Ok let me explain what is going on. In Holland (Im dutch also) we have "H" as the symbol for an ACTIVE 3G connection (meaning downloading/uploading data). Where "3G" means an inactive (or not consuming data) 3G connection, this is not worse than H, its the same.
On the US version you will see 3G when not downloading and 3G+ when downloading (which is the same as our H). Whatever letter there is does not matter as long its not a G you have your max speed.
Now also notice that there are a lot of areas where providers can not peovide the maximum speed (crowded/low signal/etc). Make sure you check your speed with full bars and dont be paranoid with data tests. If the speed is reasonable and IE9 can load a decent page, than its ok. If it wont load a page than your 3G does not work.
If your 3G does not work (what was the case for some of you) than set the APN settings manually to your peovider (or use the Nokia Network Setup app), goto Settings --> Cellular --> Edit APN.
Now 3G will work.
Again dont be bothered about whatever Icon it shows, H, 3G or 3G+ its all good (or 4G). As long as there is no G or E you will have the highest connection your phone can receive. This does not guarantee your provider can deliver you what you pay for (probably you get much lower speeds) and they might also cap your speed if you surpass your datalimit (as does TMobile NL with "unlimited internet").
Good luck
