3 Network UK fast dormancy - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just installed gokhanmorals fastdormancy toggle app to test effect of having fd on or off. I think 3 uk network has fd enabled so shouldnt speed be better if phone also has fd enabled?
anyway, using speed test, my speeds are the same regardless of fd setting (approx 70ms ping, 5500kbps down, 3500kbps up)
So the question remains, should i enable fd or disable it? which is best for battery saving?

didn't try GM's fd toggle yet, but does it require a phone reboot after enabling/disabling it?

yeah, need to reboot after changing

[Q] Weird result in speed test?

I decided to try a speed test using my 3g connection.
My upload speed is faster than my download speed, it's double the speed.
Why is this happening?
Anyone had similar results when running a speed test?
Make sure H+ is enabled. Enable Fast Dormancy if you have disabled it.
Regards.

Fast dormancy is enabled, how do I enable H+?
Try inputting this in keypad,

Regards.
Thanks, still the same result.
Upload speed much faster than download speed, it's fine through wifi though.
edit: I've solved the problem by changing the apn. Now downloads much faster than upload

[Q] Clarification needed to study fast dormancy

I'm trying monitor fast dormancy(FD). I'm testing it on my Samsung Galaxy s2. I had rooted my phone and installed samsung kernel back.(Android 2.3.4-kernel 2.6.35.7-Carrier:AT&T)
First doubt is, after monitoring the tcp packets, and logcat, there is no sign of FD getting activated (Although i have added entries in nwk_info.db for my carrier, also build.prop doesn't have any entries related to FD). So i think this kernel doesnt support it although my network does. Is there a way to invoke FD in my current OS? Are there any particular custom ROMs tat might support FD (AT&T carrier)?
Second doubt is tat we created a simple app to send and receive(client,server) a single udp packet(full internet access permission given). It works on the emulator(eclipse), but on the phone its working only with wifi, doesn't work with my 4g/3g data connection when wifi is turned off. Is there a fix for this issue?!
Thanks in advance.

1) Where is the confirmation that AT&T supports FD? Everywhere I have ever looked on this subject I've seen conflicting information.
2) FD changes would be in the RIL and modem, not the kernel - don't confuse the svnet-dormancy wakelock with radio fast dormancy. The svnet-dormancy wakelock is just Samsung being lazy and inhibiting CPU suspend for a fixed amount of time after doing anything with the radio rather than determining when it's safe to suspend and destroying the wakelock immediately. (In general, wake_lock_timeouts that ALWAYs expire are a sign of bad coding.) I'm fairly certain it's disabled by default in the stock I777 firmware. (There's a "secret code" in the dialer that you can use to see what it is set to - however last time I tried changing it, it did nothing, and I forget what the code was.)
3) How are you monitoring FD behavior?
4) As to the UDP issue, have you confirmed that it isn't just AT&T's NAT implementation blackholing something? What happens if you run the same app on a wifi device that is tethered to the GS2?

[Q] Network switch

I have a question... is there a switecher or something between 2g, 3g, 4g etc? I mean is there possibility to turn on only 2g mode to less battery consumption or sth like that?
Sent from the future
there is an unofficial way.
Dial ##3282# and it will open up a field test mode. Click on the three dots at the bottom and then go to settings. You can then set your Network type to what you prefer from automatic. To make it stick, turn Toggle ENS (reboot required) to Off. Back out of Field Test and then turn off/turn on your phone.
PROTIP: Add ##3282# as a contact and pin it to the screen for easy access.
I thought that it's little easier, i mean without phone restarts etc, but ok, thanks for advice.

Supposedly the carriers required that the switch be removed.

Under Settings->Cellular, there is an option to set "Highest Connection Speed". Options are LTE, 3G and 2G. Would that not work for you?

I can't check this because i dont have this phone right now. Im going to buy it but i read that battery consumption is quite big so i decided to ask you about network switcher, because it can save a lot of energy

[Q] Tethering & Data Connection Issues

So Im using stock ICS 4.0.4 from the latest OTA update and Im rooted. Everything usually works fine but every few weeks something happens to my ability to tether. Im using Wireless Tether for Root Users from https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ . Any other tethering app fails to work including FoxFi. I start tethering and get no errors and everything is fine for a minute. I have full connection and speed. After about 1 or 2 page loads my speed suddenly drops so low that web pages time out but skype and steam will stay connected but weatherbug will not. I can't actually call anyone on skype. Pings to google work with 100+ms. If I turn off the data connection on my phone and turn it back on then I can load pages but again for only a minute or a few page loads. If I reboot my phone then I have no problems at all until I turn on the tethering app. I can do speed test after speed test with 15-24 Mbps download and roughly the same upload. Until I turn on that tethering app. By Turn on I mean press the button to start tethering. Turning off the tethering does not restore normal connection until I either turn the data connection off/on or reboot the phone. My settings from the app are:
Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup Method: Auto
Wifi Encryption: Enabled @ WPA2-PSK
Wifi-Driver Reload 1 and 2 checked
Keep Alive Checked
MSS Clamping: Checked
Routing fix: Checked
Using google DNS Servers
Disable Wake-Lock: Checked
I've tried changing DNS servers but I can resolve google's IP during the ping test. I've tried other profiles but this one is the only one that works. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and did a factory reset with no luck. After a day or 2 the problem seems to mysteriously disappear and things return to normal. I've got the old unlimited data plan I was originally forced into from Verizon. I've been told by several Verizon reps that they cannot throttle my connection for any reason and I do not have any sort of limit due to licensing agreements with the FCC. Since everything works fine before turning on tethering (I used the phone for hours) then it sounds like something the app is doing to the phone's settings. Verizon says there are no outages in the area but I didn't think that was the issue anyways since turning off the data connection and back on gives me a normal connection for a minute. While this does go away after a day or 2 thats a couple days without internet. I would appreciate any help I could get with it at this point as hours and hours of google searches returned a few people having the issue but no working solutions other than getting a different phone. Does anyone have an ideas? Thanks.
Change the profile to the rezound and disable mss clamping. I had issue with the tether doing the same thing when mss clamping was enabled.

you will have to use a different usb port or a different usb cord

Possibly but this same issue has been noted for several other users. I happen to be one of them that seems to get throttled at times. It usually happens when I tethered using lte and used it for some high bandwidth stuff like gaming or streaming movies. The thing is that Verizon does something called bandwidth shaping which causes them to slow your speeds based on the traffic in your area.

are you using a custom rom? If so go into setting and change the processing style. Like the style, governor.

The CPU governor has nothing to do with the data side haha. It is just something vzw does and they don't do it to everyone though. I could tether to my ps3 and play call of duty over lte and get lag. Switch to 3g and be perfectly fine.

Help wifi slow!?

My wifi on my phone has been running really slow. It runs super fast on my mac i have really good data speeds on my router almost 100mbps
I did a speedtest with the app on my phone and got up to 70mpbs but the phone still just goes slow. If i switch the wifi off and put on my mobile data it works fine and fast on 4g . Anyone help me and know the issue?

anyone?
Silly question but have you rebooted?
Also a long press on the Wi-Fi network from the Wi-Fi menu I'm settings check its link speed.

it used to run fine idk what happened
Have you updated software yet? Tested with power save mode off?
