I'm currently on Nims' Infinity Final and I found a bug. Whenever I do not turn on the wifi or data connection, the signal icon will definitely stay at the minimum look *Other phone showing full signal.
But the signal icon will become normal after I turn on wifi or data connection. Does anyone know the solution?
Edit. My phone getting freeze after keyboard force closed. Sometimes after using apps like messaging, twitter and others which use keyboard, a message pop up about Samsung Keyboard blah blah and I got to force close. After that, the launcher freeze but I still can run an app by long preesing the home button.

So as the title says, I'm experiencing times when I have full 3G (I don't live in a HSPA + area) but the H its greyed out. I can make calls and send texts, but can't access any websites. I'm running ginger blur 3.5 but was experiencing this prior to loading it as well. I'm not running any battery saving apps that may be disabling the internet usage. Usually a reboot of the phone will get me service. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance!

This might not help you.. I use a widget that can turn on/off mobile data and sometimes it gets a little screwed up. If I go into settings > data > data manager (I believe) and manually turn it off and back on it sometimes fixes my problem. You could try that instead of rebooting sometimes ..not super helpful advice but ya never know.

Did you configure the APN already? Did you try your SIM card on another phone to discard a problem with your line? Is data enabled in data manager?
Check those. That might be the issue
try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13838602&postcount=5
works perfectly here, no idea why you have to do it though, obviously you need to make sure your apn settings are correct aswell.
Does any one face the following problem, it happens almost Daily at least once:
when i receive a phone call, the SLIDE to ANSWER or Pressing the home button ( i set home button to answer calls) does not Answer the call... the CALL is left in the background and i can not either Talk or even End the call!!!
i have to reboot to make a call afterwards!
i flashed KE2, 7 & and now 8 with no difference. i even Flashed the RADIO from the very ORIGINAL stock and no LUCK either...
I noticed that sometimes when this happens flight mode automatically becomes on! Really strange...

seems only you and me dear in this issue... so lets share and try to find what is causing this problem..
do you use any profiles app. or task management app, etc.?
Im on Samsung Omnia 7 and my phone have issues with incoming calls. I get silence when i answer. And my friend just bought Samsung Galaxy SII and he have the same problem. It only happens when you use a specefic carrier and it only happens when your in a weak signal area.
Also notecing a lot of internet connection, bandwith changing. Its all over the place all the time. Edge, 3g, 3g+ .. i belive on Android it says HSPA and HSPA +. But it seems its the sma problems with all Samsung devices thats new.
A friend of mine, who also has the 3d, noticed that there was a setting in the wifi settings that enables you to set your phone to connect to the strongest wifi signal. Just go to wireless and connections, go to wifi settings, press the menu button, go to advanced, and select best wifi performance. I never noticed this and thought it was awesome since we have a ton of wifi networks at work that are better in certain spots.

I had been wondering if there was a description somewhere that tells exactly what that setting does. I always thought it ran the WiFi radio at a higher current in order to keep a better signal. Are you sure it has anything to do with always picking the strongest signal?

You can change wifi sleep settings in that same menu also. I run the performance mode and still get great battery life also

i use an app called green power,its free,it turns off all radios(wi-fi,3g,4g in the paid app)when ur creen turns off and automatically turns them on instantly when u unlock ur screen,does wonders for my batt.life.
It's better to keep wifi connected when the screen is off as it uses less energy than the 3g radio

I'd still like to know your source for the info saying that this setting evaluates the signal from all wifi sources and picks the one with the best signal. This setting is not outlined anywhere other than to mention that it uses more battery. Is it just something you turned on and you noticed it did that... or did you read it somewhere?

I do the same thing unless I'm somewhere that has no wifi. I also disable the always on mobile data which saves battery life without losing functions of your phone.

Disabling "always on mobile data" will prevent you from getting push email from apps like K9 mail. Won't it? I mean, if I'm waiting for an email and I want to hear a chime when it comes in (I have K9 set up that way), it'll never come through if there's no wifi and I uncheck "always on mobile data". Correct?
Mike
Push email still works. Or At least gmail does..

If you have a spot where this would help, check it out. Mine does it at work. We have a customer wifi and a service wifi that get better strengths in certain spots and it will switch back and forth.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Someone should do a couple runs of Speedtest with this on and off to see if there is a real difference in throughput.
Also, turning off "always on data" does not stop Gmail from syncing, and it does wonders for battery life in my experience.

Correct. Whenever you turn your phone screen on though, data will reconnect and stay connected for a couple of minutes, any e-mails that were waiting to be pushed to your device will then get sent. You won't get any notifications if you never check your phone all day, but I'm usually getting a text every once in a while which I turn the phone on to reply to.
You'll get immense battery savings with always on mobile data turned off as well.
Hello,
I was wondering if there was a How-To thread on doing this? Or could someone help me do this? I couldn't find any from my search's.
Current ROM: δ-HyperDroid-Androidmeda-v3.0 (with petsaj's surgeon)
This feature is already there in the Hyperdroid + petsaj surgeon combo I use. The reason I ask on a how-to for this is because, for some reason, custom ROM's that have this particular feature are the only one's I can use to get 3g data connectivity. Otherwise, I always get this irritating "Refreshing SIM data" pop up, which eats up battery, and heats up the back of the phone.
I'm still not a 100% on whether this would be the actual reason, or whether its a an issue with my carrier, but i want to give it a try so i can know for certain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Arjun.
Im on Revolution ROM, and it has this feature. Try it c:

Thanks. But I'd like to find out how to do it myself; to test and see if this is whats causing issues with 3g data connectivity for me. I think even Simple & Clean v2.x has this, and so do a few others.
But I don't think MIUI ROM's have this (not sure about this again - from the MIUI's I've tried, doesn't seem like they do).
My main concern has to do with 3g.
Thanks again.
Sorry to bump this. I didn't want to create another thread with the same question.
Hopefully someone from Hyperdroid would see this.
It's as simple as changing some png's... Download my surgeon, navigate to /vrtheme/SystemUI.apk and see which ones are blue and which ones are grey.
Thanks petsasj.
Will try it once I'm back from work.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Ok. I was just having a look at the pngs in the Androidmeda 5.2.xx and the pngs in /vrtheme/SystemUI.apk (of your surgeon). Only difference I see is the colours are green in the base while they blue in the surgeon.
I dont think this could be the coz of my 3g issues.
Petsasj: any idea why I am able to use 3g only after flashing your surgeon? Like i said before, if i flash the base ROM (or any ROM for that matter), either of two things will happen:
1. In GSM/WCDMA mode, it'll search for my 3G network -> the 3G icon shows up, and instantly disappears. I am still connected to my 3G network, but there is no data connection. On checking the "Status" in Settings it shows up as Mobile Network->Connecting.
2. In GSM/WCDMA mode, it'll search and connect to my 3G network -> there wont be a 3G data connection. "Status" in Settings says Disconnected.
For both the above instances, this "Refreshing SIM data" pop-up keeps on coming. The phone heats up at the back - battery goes down the drain! Very annoying. 2g works though (with data connectivity).
But if I flash your surgeon (and only your surgeon btw, the other surgeons dont help me with this issue ), everything works! 3G, 2G, switching between the two... !
Would u have any idea as to whats causing this??
Arjun.
Hi Friends,
When my SGS3 was started up or opened the screen ,It has pop-up message " BroadcomMEMsService has stopped " .What is that means seem nothing happen to my SGS3 only it disturbed me to "OK" to get rid that message. Thank you
I have this service running on my phone as well. I'm not sure what it does.
A-gps and glonass I think.
There was a thread about this already and it was mentioned there.

I froze it with Titanium Backup and nothing has stopped working that I'm aware of.. get a instant GPS lock.
This takes a lot of battery and my battery life has significantly improved after I froze this.

Ya I'm not 100% certain but glonass and a-gps may be separate to "normal" GPS so you would still lock on to the "normal" satellites.
Theoretically anyway.
The poster said it was to control some bcm(some numbers) chip and it was a-gps and glonass. He sounded like he knew what he was talking about.

I think it has to do with the weather widget.
I disabled the Current City: Enable to show location information.
And manually added my city, now the broadcom service has dissapered.

Weather widget gets location from....... GPS/glonass/a-gps.
Broadcom doesn't make weather Widgets, it makes wireless chips, Bluetooth, wifi, GPS etc.

U cant see this popup anymore, but your problem isnt over.
When you need A-GPS or Glonass again you shall face this error again.
It seems some system file are corrupted; only a full wipe or other rom can solve this, I think.
After six months without this problem, yesterday, I run into same problem, you describe - "BroadcomMEMsService has stopped", its really strange... Yesterday I installed only these updates - QuickPic, franco.Kernel.Updater, Change Hostname, Sleep as Android, IM+ Pro, nothing more... But even after uninstalling these updated, error doesn stoped... So I dont really know, why this is happenning. In detailed error message I can see: java null exception error 29
So I tried to froze this service, and error is gone, and GPS is still working. I need to do more tests, If I can find if anythig was affected by frozing this service... but up to now, everything is working...
