I have another thread with a complaint gone to Samsung Level 3 regarding the wifi connect/disconnect. But I've noticed that this is only apparently on my "N" configured bands. My ordinary "G" band doesn't seem to have this issue.
SO, I would be interested to hear how other people have setup "N" only bands that don't have problems. On 2.4 or 5Ghz.
I have two wifi routers, one is a Netgear N300 WNR3500L. This is a FCC supplied router and is part of the SamKnows testing of ISPs in the US. This router creates a G network, with WPA2-AES security, fixed channel.
My second unit is a Linksys WRT610 v2 dual band with DD-WRT (DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/07/10) mega (SVN revision 14896)).
I had both of the "N" set to 40mhz wide, and the channels were fixed (based on surveys at the time). Both are again, just WPA2-AES encryption.
I would be interested to know what/how people have thier 'no problem' "N" settings.
(I've even changed to 5Ghz auto width and auto channel (since it's the only 5Ghz in the area), and I still get drops in the connection.)
And it isn't that when it connects it isn't fast, see below: I only have an officially 50/8 connection.

Haven't seen your other post so not sure what problems your having. But I have a WNDR3700 and mine connects to it great. Almost instantly in fact.
And how is it configured?

I have a Netgear WNDR3700 running DD-WRT that I intend to only use with 802.11N / WPA2-AES. I'll repost here tomorrow if I run into any problems (and if I don't, that probably means everything's OK).
I hope your issue is isolated, as working WiFi is of utmost importance to me, since I hate paying for the carriers' over-priced dataplans (and am not a lucky SOB with grandfathered unlimited).

Nothing I have has 5ghz so I've got that turned off.
2.4 has :
-WPA2-PSK encryption.
-Locked channel
-Long preamble
-Allow up to 300mbs
-Not broadcasting
Anything I'm missing your interested in?
Thanks. That's fine.

I came from a T-Mobile galaxy s just wondering if our phone is able to do so.

Like VOIP you mean? If so, check on your settings in phone settings one the bottom.

on tmobile they have a handy app that connects you to tmobiles servers via wifi and sets you up with sms/voice via wifi. all the while still making it count towards your min count.
the difference is the tmobile app is just a simple toggle and you have voip, no additional accounts etc. it was one of the perks from tmobile due to their poor network coverage as long as i had wifi i had a phone.
sprint only offers home solutions call airave, same basic principal.. phone connects to airave (which acts as a mini cell tower) connects via ethernet to internet, connecting to sprint.
i personally would love it if sprint looked into the wifi-calling technology, but then who are they going to sell those airaves to? and get that extra 10 a month from?

This is one reason I hate all current cell companies. Honestly ALL of it, ALL OF IT is data any more, only difference is where it is encoded at and how it is. But honestly VOIP should have happened 10 years ago on cell phones, and we shouldn't be counting minutes/texts any more. Data is Data is Data. Except this data - he is different.

Anyways, I want a 100% data package from a provider. When I use Wifi at home, thats my data - not yours. When I use 3g/4g/6g its yours and bill me for it. /rant
I don't think the MoPho does this like the HTC Sensation and others do, but you can use GrooVe IP and you Google Voice number for VOIP calling (doesn't use your minutes). I've tested it briefly; it works very well.
Yes- Groove IP and NetTALK both work well. NetTalk is free and you can call US numbers free from WIFI without using minutes.
I've racked my brain on this for hours, searched and searched and come up empty, now I'm putting it to everyone here for some help.
Today, my phone has been saying that I'm roaming, no matter what network I'm connected to. I'm on AT&T (have been since 2005) and haven't had this problem up until today. I'd expect it to display roaming when I'm on a partner network (US Cellular/UNICEL), but now it's doing it when connected to AT&T's towers and I can't use any mobile data.
I hadn't changed ANYTHING today (radio, ROM, APN settings, etc.) before it happened. I've tried several things in an attempt to fix it, as well: switching from CM7 (my current ROM) back to Aura; reflashing the latest AT&T radio (from both the CM7 post as well as kenn's Alien post); resetting the APN list to default; manually entering the 4 AT&T APNs (US, US HSDPA, US Tether, and US MMS).
I'm at a total loss and need some fresh minds to take a crack at this too.
Here's what my current "About Phone" looks like:

Try to restore default apn's. the stock AT&T ones, not the single one that comes with cm7

I had a similar issue once when my father and I were on a long trip. Both of our phones just stopped having a data (and probably voice too). Mine was running CM7 while his was stock gingerbread. I had to fix both by enabling international roaming and this remained a problem for several hours until either time or distance fixed the problem.
Essentially it looks like AT&T was actually the problem since we were in the middle of Wisconsin in an area that had pretty good signal. We never saw an issue on the bill and once international roaming was turned on my data speeds were perfectly acceptable.
I know it isn't the same issue, but if your phone functions normally then I wouldn't worry about it unless it takes more than a couple of days to clear up.

The thing is, I haven't travelled at all; I'm in my home area. It's good to hear that you were able to set International Roaming without being charged, though. I'm hoping it's just a problem on AT&T's end, but I haven't heard anyone else complaining about it yet...
Called AT&T to verify no towers down in your area? You stated you have stayed in your home area. It's entirely possible there is work going on on the tower you usually connect through, and this has resulted in you being on a partner tower and roaming. Just a thought.
So I just finished flashing the True Connection mod from UnNamed and noticed I am on 3g.
Yesterday I noticed when I was a few cities up north from my area my signal bar turned green, does that mean it was actually H+ or I just had really good connection?

I never had it shown green and drove mostly all over south Florida except one area in Dania Beach so I was rather confused if it was bad or good till I Googled it.
My speeds are great and I really don't need them faster, its twice as fast as my iPhone 3gs, when downloading files its around 600kb/s which is plenty fast.
Wifi Tethering:
Right now its bouncing between H+ and 3g depending where I am in the house.
So I am a little confused...
Im curious...what did you expect from the true connection mod?

Well I didn't know what it was till I read this:
Simba501 said:
By default, the status bar shows HSPA (H) as the connection even if UMTS (3G) is active. HSPA is only in use when data is actually being used. In idle, it goes back to UMTS (3G). The addon will show this if you flash it. In areas where there is only UMTS (3G), this will be indicated by the addon as well. AT&T defaults to showing HSPA for everything because they want to pull the wool over their users' eyes, and make them believe they have HSPA everywhere they go.

I just don't get how the signal and speeds relate.
I would think a good connection would get you the best speeds but maybe I am missing a whole lot more stuff that I don't understand.

Hey LilChris06, are you the mod from OCN?
On topic:
Samsung's default setting is to give you the H+ symbol at all times, even though you may be connected to 4g or 3g. The "true connection mod" you flashed just changes the symbol to show you what you really are on, as the quote states.
As for your question, there are more complications to it, but generally yes, good connection does mean good speeds.
So you got 3G = UMTS
and the H = HSDPA, which in laymens would a "3.5G" in relation to 3G
H+ is an upgraded version of HSDPA, which occurred in 2008.

Can anyone confirm what would be the best model for someone in the UK?
I need to return an H820 due to multiple issues. Lots of minor problems had a fix or workaround, but the deal breakers were the blocked updates (thanks AT&T) and no 3g connection for some reason. It’s listed as supporting 2100MHz, but 3g isn’t an option in the settings. Even when using the V10 Hidden Settings app to force 3g it won’t connect. It doesn’t even see 3g providers with a manual search. 2g and 4g were fine though but I have patchy 4g coverage in my area… at best.
Anyway, I was looking at the H850 as it's the European version, but it appears it’s actually lagging behind carrier models for updates. Some aren’t getting OTA or LG Bridge updates for some reason. It’s a shame because I quite liked the phone otherwise and being a great spec and generally unloved makes it good value IMHO.
Maybe someone can confirm if they are successfully using any version in the UK?
I have the H850 model with vodafone sim and it works great with 4g.
Thanks for the info :good:
Do you know if you get good (or any) 3g reception? Also, what version/patch date is android on your phone?

Version 20S_00 I think the patch is from November 2017. I usually get 4g reception and only occasionally 3g reception. Although LG have confirmed Oreo is coming to the G5, recently. Also the reception is going to be dependent on your provider and your area, the phone works great on any network.
Thanks again. 3g reception is very good in my area (poor 4g) and works perfectly with several providers and other handsets. The H820 didn’t offer 3g in the settings for some reason. I tried the V10 Hidden Settings app (see below) to unlock the option and when 3g was forced it refused to connect at all. Hopefully it’s not an issue with the H850.

November 17 patch is a bit of a worry though… did you decline a more recent update? The only reason I ask is because there seems to be a lot of owners who just stop getting updates on eligible models and LG wash their hands of the problem. A big draw for me would be the ongoing updates and possibility of Oreo.

On my Samsung A20, I have network problems. Óne of my simcards cannot access internet past 600KBps which is 4.8Mbps.
I get this problem no matter the OS I am on. Even if I switch OSes, the problem is still there.
All the other simcards work at full speeds.
The funny thing is, The galaxy store just updated in full speeds at over 15MBps which is around 120Mbps. It took 2 seconds. Then it immediately went back to the normal speeds of 4.8Mbps for the rest of the phone.
Edit 1
Actually, the galaxy store is operating at full speeds.
That's an improvement
It never does that
Edit 2
So I just took one of the IP addresses that the galaxy store is using and used a VPN to tunnel all my data through it. My speeds are now at 3.9MBps, an improvement from the 0.6MBps I was getting.
No one on my ISP network has a similar issue. My isp has also tried resetting my simcard multiple times to no avail.
Wtf is happening. Is it the phone's issue, the simcards issue or my ISP? Could this be related to my phone? My phone got mildly fried a while back and now it won't respond to half the chargers, won't fast charge and there's no MTP. Did the simcard get fried too? But my phone is dual sim, and the other one works fine. Also, the simcard seems to work fine with the galaxy store so I am confused.

The PlayStore at 600KBps
I then took one of the IP addresses from the galaxy store and used a free VPN to route my data through it. My speeds increased to over 34Mbps.
Mark you, it's a free VPN so those are really good speeds for it.
