I have my S3 now for a few days, and noticed that when not on wi-fi, my dropbox does not upload anything.
If I go to the upload screen there are many files and the top one is uploading till it reaches some (i beleive fixed) amount of data. It then stalls for a few seconds and restarts. This then repeats itself all the time!
I have to cancel each upload, to stop it. Reboot does not help.
Anyone else? I will try factory reset to see if it does anything,,,,
I still do have this problem, does anyone else see it? I did a factory reset, flash another firmware (alf2 - official, over OTA) and it still does not work. Everything else works ok.

How can you possibly upload pictures when your phone doesn't have internet connection?
If you're using data/3g go to dropbox settings > upload using > wifi or data plan
I have 3g/data connection, and you can manually push any file to dropbox if you have internet connection, wifi or any other. But it transfers 400k or so I beleive and then stalls, waits a few seconds, and then restarts the upload. If left to itself it would very efficiently use all my data plan, as it does it all the time.
I lost my nervers and asked a friend who has the same sgs 3 with the same firware to try it, and it is not working either. It starts the upload, does a part of the file, stops, and restarst from the beggining. On wifi it works, but I need it exactly for when I am not on wifi. So this is wide spread, but nobody tries to upload something when not in wifi or what?
1) take a picture
2) make sure you are not on wifi, but on 3g/whatever
3) click on the picture in gallery -> upload to dropbox
4) open dropbox and check the uploads "page"where the file is uploading partially in a loop forever
Or am I doing something wrong?
Somethings wrong because I just tried it without issue. Are you sure you have 'Wifi and data plan ticked under dropbox settings and mobile data on
Yes, I checked this, it is selected to upload with wifi and data plan. There is some limit somewhere.... or what... arghh
I tried everything, even changing the network mode to GSM. This made it to transfer 80% of the 2MB file, but it took forever.. then it started again. on WDCMA (3G, H+) it seems it stops when the H+ changes to 3G but it is hard to say. I can download whatever I want, 20mb no problem, but upload seems not to work if the conenction changes all the time. This could be better if the connection quality on the location would be better.... But still, why can I download but not upload. I got a third SGS 3 from a neigbour and it is the same for his, so this is not hardware.

Was very happy with devoid, then flashed void forever. Could connect to 2G after the flash for quite a while. Next morning 2G disappeared and randomly reappeared. And then played hide and seek, with extended periods of hide.
Flashed devoid back tonight. Everything was ok. Then it started again! Aaaaaaaaaargh. I've been on this network in this city for 2 years and I never drop my data connection. Works very nicely. Even before void forever it was great. But I don't think it's because of the ROM, prolly something I did.
Could it be related to d2sd? Where are APNs stored? I have ungaze. With the old devoid I had nothing and then DT for a while, so I suspect something related to the d2sd script? Any system logs anywhere for mobile data?
TIA, I write for a living so I often need to mail folks while I'm on the move and this is really really really effing my happiness!

its not abt d2sd but it may be wrong with ur apn settings...
so first check the apn setting as
settings->wireless... ->mobile...
there u have seen the Apn tap on that
then check the already settings were there are correror not
or try to create new settings as
menu-> NewAPN
THEN GIVE THE APN NAME
IP
PORT
SAVE THEM
CHECK THE NEWLY CREATED SETTINGS
Umm no my friend, my APNs are alright. I'm not that stupid ;-) Ive reinstalled my MMS and Browser APNs many times over.

Maybe temporary problem with ur provider..give it some more time..
What provider are you with? Because your connection dropping might not even be an issue with something you flashed, merely convenient timing lol.
Check the provider website or something, ask friends who are on the same network. Maybe that's it
Hehe, yes it could be cruel timing. I'm on Vodafone. Fine will hold my horses for now I guess.
Maybe custom ROMs are not yet ready for mission critical applications, such as yours where your work requires stable interconnectivity.
I just had this happen to me. In fact, its even *WORSE*; my phone refuses to make any data connection, even over (connected!) WLAN.
However, the internet is actually working fine, both WLAN and 2G/3G. Running adb, I can ping internet hosts with wlan enabled and disabled, but all of the applications that use internet (browser, market, email) gives errors.
I've tried clearing cache and dalvik from CWM, but no change......
I have no idea WTF is going on, and why it suddenly stopped working correctly.
maintain minimum talk time balance. only then internet pack or data connection will work. have a minimum of 10 bucks I'm your pre paid balance apart from your internet recharge.

I dont have prepaid/PAYG. I've also had problem with my wifi connection getting associated, but getting stuck at "Obtaining IP address......."
I still dont know whats causing this, and why it appeared, nor how to solve it (I did reboot my phone a few times, wiped the cache and dalvik) and eventually (after deleting and recreating the APN) got it working again. So I'm relatively happy for now.....
well this sounds crazy, it happens to me also, but in a different way, the "E" icon totally disappears after 9pm, what i do is change the clock to am and its back again,
weird, don't know its my provider or rom thats playing around
Well my question is in regard to the atrix radio.
It started today...or at least I just noticed this morning.I run cm7ba2tf with 1.45 kernel.I also installed weekely 3 on top of that.
It has been running great for about for about a week and a half.suddenly my phone has been acting weird.
I had the. 30 radio
This morning internet was great like usual but I couldn't download from the market or internet.apps just wouldn't download.
Wifi did download apps from the market though.initially I thought something was wring with my radio.I flashed. 36 radio and reception was even better websites opened faster but still can't download from themarket or internet.I restored my back up still the poblem persists .I ran a speetest everything is good.my data plan isn't done yet so I don't know why I can download unless I'm on wifi can anyone help me?
Can u download using a web browser? If so its a market problem. You can go into market under yer applications and delete the cache for it ( the data) then reboot. If that doesn't work have u tried wiping cache and dalvik from within recovery?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
i had a similar issue earlier today, the market would load but i couldn't download apps, webpages would come up, but applications that required a network connection to request data (e.g. Amazon price check) gave me a network error.
i checked my APNs and switched from 'AT&T US' to 'AT&T US HSDPA', and everyone was happy.
Can't download either through the browser or market.sideloading enabled. Device fully unlocked.flashed different radios to see if that's the issue and factory reset twice.cleared caches dalvik and permissions too.it seems its a network data issue sites liad fast just downloads don't work going to call att tomorrow if I can't figure out the issue

Will try this since I'm almost positive its not the device so much as just something with 3G/H+ signal
Hi! I bought these two amazing games (racing & getaway) over the market 10 billion offers for 10cents, but I'm having problems installing them: Neither of them will download the data files!
I thought maybe it was the polarbit servers were being hammered by the downloads, but it's been 3 days and I'm still unable to even start the download. So I attempted using my mobile network. Which is something most of you would have attempted already. But in my case...my network is limited to EDGE/GPRS connection. Which means the fastest speed I can get is around 90~100kbps on the good days. Just to make it clear, that is somewhat 11KB/s. VERY slow.
So today I tried this network to see how that worked. And it works! Its just, that at this pace, I might need a whole uninterrupted week to download the data files, and I'm afraid as soon as for some reason the download stops (changing window, for example?), I will have to restart it.
So...Do you know of any possible reason for the game to ONLY download under the mobile network? I'm using my home WIFI, and as far as I know there shouldn't be any problem.
Thank you!

Do you get some error saying that? Doesn't make any sense, i downloaded it just fine over wifi.
Yeah I know it sounds weird. Now I've left the game downloading for half hour on my super slow connection, but I think the red progress bar didn't even reach 5%.
Also, today when I attempt to download over wifi, after somewhat 30 seconds or one minute, I get an error message "Download Failed, please verify you have a working wifi connection", or something like that. Wifi works perfectly for anything else, and as far as I know, there's no kind of cap or limit.
~So I haven't really seen anyone else with this issue so I don't know how to fix it.
My phone likes to randomly not load things via internet. Mostly happens with ATT Data connections, but sometimes it happens with Wifi as well I believe (hasn't happened with wifi in a long time).
I can try and load a page and it will simply not load a thing for a good while (sometimes hours), then all of a sudden it will load like it's on a 10MB connection.
Happens with the internet browser, facebook, and any internet apps. Really gets annoying when I'm trying to browse the internet
I have tried different APNs to no avail, tried turning wifi on/off, changing all wifi settings, etc.
Anyone got any suggestions? (Maybe I'm just retarded and there's a well-known fix for this... at least I can hope right?)
Thanks
EDIT: It also used to never send MMS until I changed APN's if that makes any difference. Just not sure if its a software/setting issue, or if its hardware that needs to be replaced.
There are two APN settings, one of which is used by MMS. It sounds as if your APN settings might have been wrong at one point. What are your APN settings now?
Are you on a different ROM? Do you use a 3rd party app to disable and enable the data connection (to save power)? I know my app sometimes doesn't turn the data back on, so I have to go in and do it myself.
Is this your first phone with AT&T? If so, where did you transfer form? Did you have a data plan with your previous carrier? Did you buy your phone from Amazon?

My APN settings are the "phone" HSPA and "phone" MMS settings from the large thread in this forum.
The phone isn't even rooted. No different ROM, just a stock phone. No 3rd party apps that disable/enable data.

I've had ATT for a decade or so now. Phone bought and activated in an ATT store, and last phone I had was an iPhone, so whatever data plan that used was what I was previously using. I would assume they changed the plan to reflect the android device (if there is any difference), but I wouldn't really know because it is on our family account.
Anybody got any clue? This is really annoying the **** out of me. Also found out my brothers phone (on same family plan) is doing the same thing.

Maybe download Tweakker from the market; it automatically rewrites APN settings for your phone and carrier. CM7 uses wap.cingular, and I used Tweakker to change it from that. Worked, no probs, loved me long time, yada yada.
Thanks, just downloaded it. We'll see if it makes any difference.
Worked great until just now. Lost internet again. Thanks though.
Any other ideas?
i am on AOKP, not sure if you have the options to do the following in stock but try.
1.do you have the option of deleting APN? delete all...
2. force the phone to look for wireless carriers (takes like 4 minutes).
3. click on At&t to registet on it.
4. reboot and the original apn should be there.
I reset it back to the original APN but I dont expect it to help... I had the problem even before I started messing with the APN. We'll see how it goes though.
Any other suggestions are still welcome.
I have a similar, if not the same problem. I have concluded that it's either a modem/hardware issue or network issue. Every one and a while, I'll have to wait ~20 seconds for the internet. This always happens on AT&T data. Once the connection is made, the green and orange data indicators light up and the page loads just fine. Changing the APN's increases my internet speed by a lot, but does not fix the latency issue.
Someday I'll get around to calling AT&T.

Sounds like the same issue to me.
I keep thinking I should go to the ATT store but I really dont feel like having them do a reset of my phone then send me home without actually fixing anything.
Have you noticed what kind of connection you have? I don't use stock, so I haven't thoroughly tested this there, but I believe I experience the same issue. I'm running CyanogenMod 7, and what I see is that whenever the phone drops to 3G, I don't get data. I can force 2G (Edge), which works, and if I pick up HSPA+, I get data. If I'm in fairly sketchy signal areas (bad parts of buildings, fairly far from towers, etc.), I'll notice it flip-flopping back and forth between 3G and H+, with no data. I've never had an issue with wifi not properly loading anything.
I did try switching back to stock for a couple of hours, and it appeared my issues were more along the lines of what you describe, without actually displaying a flip to 3G when I can't get data...but like I said, I don't use stock on a regular basis.
NINJA EDIT: I'm on my second phone with this issue, after getting a refurb due to a USB port going bad. I've tried flashing multiple modems, and have been able to increase my speed, but have not been able to fix the issue when I drop to 3G.

Im in an area where I constantly get 4G or LTE... I haven't really noticed a correlation between the drops and whether or not its on 4G/LTE. I haven't experienced it on Wifi in a very long time though.
Also, the stock APN seems to magnify the problems greatly. Switched back to the Tweakker APN and it runs much better (although it still happens occasionally)
Had the same issue as you, try my guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576199 it seems to have helped many!
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy S II (I777) Killin' it with Task650's awesome AOKP ROM port!
Thanks but the Tweakker APN seems to have solved the internet issues. Only problem now is that MMS doesn't work with the Tweakker APN. Anyone got any suggestions on that?
Hi all i have a galaxy s2 with new ics open UK and rooted.
Everything works great... Internet apps play store etc
Problem is when trying to upload photos to Facebook the status bar fills to 101% then stops for a while then shows the cannot upload message. I then tried to use speedy uploader mad it won't even log in.
The funny thing is the moment i use wi fi the problem goes away and photos upload fine as well as speedy uploader logging in and uploading photos. Logged in to Facebook in speedy uploader then switched off wifi to try an upload and again the status bar filled to 100% then showed unknown error.
When using mobile data i have made sure it is a strong connection hsdpa and everything else works. Normally i can fix anything technological but this has me stumped. Any ideas please? If there is any more info that i can provide let me know.
Thanks
Update
I have tried the same scenario on another S2 on same network running stock o2 ICS rom and the photo uploads fine to my facebook account... This narrows the problem down to a glitch in my phone.
Attached are images showing what happens.
I have tried all the usual routes - uninstall - clear data - reinstall - unintall - hit hard and shout Also reset my network settings for o2 (seen something about proxy problems elsewhere) but nothing seems to solve this. Facebook app works fine for news feed and profiles but only on data network does it have this problem. Any app trying to upload a photo to facebook is filling the status bar showing it is uploaded and then producing an error. Not a connection issue for definite.
Getting frustrated at this and close to doing a full wipe and reset tonight as I don't have patience for annoying things like this. Please someone have had the same problem and/or know of a solution to save me missing a few hours sleep !
