They do support the fastdormancy in globe... I have a friend who works in Globe, technical department and he confirmed that they are using fastdormancy. I also confirmed by calling the customer support. Sad to say I was explaining for almost 30 to 45 minutes to get the answer as MOST OF THEM DIDNT KNEW what in the heaven I am talking about... but at last after 30 to 45 minutes I got the confirmation...
Thanks man for your effort.
Any time buddy...

is it practical for us to disable fastdormancy on our gs3 running on globe network?what are the implications on disabling fastdormancy if it is supported by globe?

You can disable the fastdormancy if you want. there is an app developed by GOKHANMORAL called "togle fastdormancy for galaxy s3". you can find it on the forum. but my suggestion is keep it on as it saves battery if you are using GLOBE. I am not aware if it is supported in SMART or SUN network...
i highly doubt SUN has fd.. yeah, Globe does have fd but i disable it to save battery... i dont really use it

from what i understand i suggest you leave it enabled because globe supports fd. it will save you more battery than disabling it as it will draw more battery from your device as it stays on the highest possible cignal type or powerstate. i assume when you said "i dont really use it" is because your not enabling mobile data on your s3?
i rarely enable data on my S3 since I am on prepaid and finals week is here, i need to save some money lol

This is correct although you will get slower overall speeds since it is moving from the lower, battery efficient 3g states to the faster, battery draining h+ states in twenty second intervals.
If battery is your priority leave it enabled, if you want the fastest speeds disable it- but it will drain fast and you will have no signal in areas that only have the old antennas.
Globe tweaked it recently, before it would go all the way down to g, now it idles in 3g.
Personally I leave it enabled as losing signal is not an option for me.

A simple explanation...
1. If your carrier supports the fastdormancy AND you are using DATA frequently than LEAVE IT ENABLED AS IT WILL SAVE THE BATTERY...
2. If your carrier doesnt support the fastdoemancy AND you are using DATA OR NOT, disable it as it will save the battery...

I occasionaly disable fd when im streaming movies on my ps3 tethered on my s3 or if i want it to stay on H+. The only time i enable it is when im on travel. But it really doesnt matter if your on a 2g network or if you manually set your connection to gsm. Anyway guys how much speed are you getting on globe's HSPA+?im currently here in davao and here is my speedtest attached with fd disabled.

If you move into an area that is only 2g and you have fd disabled you will not have cellular signal. There are still some areas in manila and a lot in the farther provinces that are 2g only. You will not be able to make calls, sms, etc.
Imho it's wiser to leave it on as patel suggests.
But hey those are good speeds! Never had those in any part of manila, laguna or batangas. Looks like the bandwidth is all yours. Lucky you

FYI you will still have cell signal on 2g and fast dormancy disabled. There is no fd on a 2g network. Enabled or disabled it will ignore what you have set.

Actually you won't.
Disabling fast dormancy essentially turns off the 2g antennas of the phone. You can search this forum and you will see posts from last year stating people losing signal in places like capiz, batangas etc losing cellular signal with fb disabled and getting back the signal when enabling it.

I provided screenshots for you too see im running on 2g with fd disabled. Fd doesnt disable 2g networks at all. It only switches powerstates if your connected on 3g. I guess people not having signal is because maybe they have set their phones to only search and connect on wcdma networks.

Having gprs registered in your phone doesn't necessarily mean you're in a 2g area only.
You're in an area that has 3g but has shifted you to lower bandwidth most probably due to congestion. It's a different story when you're in an area that has no 3g.
Afaik switching to lower power states is disabling the higher powered antennas and switching to the lower powered ones. The inverse also holds true.
You will only see the difference if you are in a 2g only area for an extended time. Try staying in a 2g only place like some areas of san Juan batangas and you will see that you're the only one with no signal while your friends dumb phones will be perfectly fine.

As ive said. Im currently in davao. But im from a province from surigao del sur.and i tell you theres no such thing as 3g on those areas. My s2 has always been set to only connect to a 2g network as theres no point on setting it to auto switch between gsm and wcdma as there is no 3g network in my province. My s3 is the oposite. Iv set it to only connect on wcdma because data is always enabled on this device. I only have signal loss on my s3 if im in an area where there is no 3g. And both my devices hav fb disabled. I hope this clears everything.

I had a question for you guys using the international on AT&T.
On my GS2 I remember when data was not being used and was idle the signal meter would show 3G and switch to UMTS and when I used the connection it would switch to H/H+ HSPA.
With my GS3 however, it's constantly showing H even when it's idle. It's NEVER really goes into UMTS mode even when it's idle. I've seen it switch to 3G for a split second every now and then, but then switches right back to H in a split second. In my status I see it's using the HSPA network, not UMTS. The times that I saw it switch to 3g for a split second (I happened to have the status open) I saw it switch to UMTS then switch right back to HSPA.
I know switching to UMTS when the connection is idle saves battery life So I'm wondering since mine doesnt switch to UMTS if it's affecting the battery life
I've tried different modems, in network settings it's set to Auto.
So my question (after that wall of text) is does your phone switch the UMTS when it's idle and show 3G? Or is it constantly showing H like mine?
I'm trying to figure out why the hell it wont stay in UMTS when there is no data activity. If it does switch to 3G/UMTS when it's idle anyone have any ideas what could be going on with mine?
anyone? lol

Maybe you guys should try gokhanmorals fast dormancy app from the play store.
And maybe take a look at the thread that was floating around here about proper fast dormancy settings for at&t.
Mine switches from h to 3g as soon as it stops transferring data.

Mine switches to 3G as soon as data is stopped transferring. No problems here. and it will sit on 3G until data kicks in again and picks up to H+

hmm so it also happens to K Rich's phone. Can you do me a favor? from the dialer hit *#0011# what band does it say when it's connected to 3G/UMTS?
I can also get it to stay on 3G constantly by changing a setting in the advanced phone control menu, but then it doesnt switch to HSPA when data is active.

The modem is restricted so you can't change the bands. It's set to switch to the best signal.
The idea of using 2G to save battery consumption is a wives tale. There isn't any difference anymore.
I would hope that's the only reason to want to switch to 2G!
But yeah, with current technology 3G/4G is no longer a battery killer like it once was. Especially on our state of the art awesome Galaxy Notes!
I do not agree with this entirely, because at college I only get 2g all the time! ANd my battery never gets below 75% when I am home it bounces from 3g/4g and even sometimes to 2g I live in a weird area lol...And my battery gets down to 30-35% when I am home doing the same things.....
The modem in the phone is on or off, and it doesn't downshift if it has to run on a lower band. It's like a light bulb -- on or off.
Don't take my word for it, google the topic and you can read what the engineers say.
You can't do the same things with 2G and 4G networks (at least not without pulling your hair out).
I must disagree with you, 2G and 4G switch is available in international GNote. So there is a way to swtch it. And if i am in zone of low 3/4G signal zone, it always switch to 2-3-4 G, so it also make the battery drain faster. In HOX AT&T there is a command you can dial some code and get into menu for switching Bands. There should be somthing like this in Note also.
There is a dial code for this modem but it is a restricted menu. You can't make a selection on it.

To get the option, you would need Samsung modem software and be able to edit the file and unrestrict the band selector. That is something that has never been leaked, unfortunately.

That's actually a solution for this OP who wants 2G on Straight Talk network. If he follows your instructions, because of the hardware, all he will be able to get is EDGE connection for data.
People I would really appreciate your feedback on this, during the past 3 weeks I have noticed that my download speeds had been drastically slow even when I have 4G and speed test coming back on results over 4MB download per second I see this is mostly during some times of the day, late at night it is fine, as an example when I tried to download an app from the market or as well when I'm using my phone as a hot spot it takes over a minute to download 2 MB of data. I have unlimited data and my friend my cousin and his wife are having the same issue, I was having it on my S3 now on my S4, my friend and cousin on their Note 2 and my cousins wife on her iphone 5 we all have unlimited data and now we are wondering if verizon is playing a dirty trick on us.... does anybody here are seeing this problem? are you unlimited or limited? I have called Verizon and they say they are only throttling 3G, not on 4G I already did their stupid apps deletes and resets factory resets etc etc, and I don't want to root my S4 yet in case they blame it on the phone and want me to exchange it.
Thanks,
A worried data devourer

I noticed the speed fluctuations when the Google play store started with the new updates. It would be with various apps updating and it would be on the network and it was also affecting speeds while on WiFi. It would take 5 min to download a 2 MB file that should only take a few seconds. I do not think the throttle is through the carrier but it may be on the google servers depending on which one you are connected to. I noticed recently that it has gotten better but there could be maintenance going on that is slowing down services and also with the weather around the country there could by bypasses going on that can affect downloads. Just my guess.
Just popped my sim into the galaxy nexus still experienced slower speeds. Maybe the weather or some other factor is at play

It might just be your location. If anyone in the range of the cell tower your phone is connected to is using a lot of bandwidth or it is heavily populated with 4G users, you will feel the effects of it. Have you replicated it in a completely different area that's less populated and is greater than 5 miles away?

None is better. Only change speed on data and yet not everywhere. So C6802 is better if you don't have Lte and C6806/6833 are better if you have 4G. Lte drain more battery when using it, only on Internet as voice calls do not use it. Having more drain on my C6802 with poor signal, this is basic to all type of mobile network not especially for 4G.

Apple fans are hilarious! Swallowing everything without thought.

Sure, because you don't call on 4G or 3G. Voice call are still using 2G GSM or cdma2000. So how can the talktime be longer?

None is better. Only change speed on data and yet not everywhere. So C6802 is better if you don't have Lte and C6806/6833 are better if you have 4G. Lte drain more battery when using it, only on Internet as voice calls do not use it. Having more drain on my C6802 with poor signal, this is basic to all type of mobile network not especially for 4G.

so basically, without good signal LTE will only drain more power and still be slow. is that correct? tnx

With a poor 4G signal it'll simply switch to 3G/H+ and always try to look for a good 4G. Same thing happen if H+/3G signal poor it drop and try to find it back. Only difference is that with a 4G phone it stop looking for faster network only when on 4G. After with a simple 4G/3G switch you will be able to enjoy full 4G speed when browsing Internet and can turn it off to limit battery drain when not browsing or when in a non or poor 4G area.
I do not have a Lte version only because shop in Vietnam advertise having the C6833 but don't have it and don't know when will. So I was impatient and bough the C6802 (my old phone died 1 month before).

thanks for all the info. :good:
Does anyone know a method just to stick with h+ data signals instead of switching to 3g.
Fyi in my area 3g reception is poor n always toggle between h+ n 3g.
The h+ signal is pretty good n it's enough for use also.
Therefore I thought if I can stick with h+ it will save my battery life.
Please comment your idea or solution.
Thnx in advance

You can only set your phone to your mobile providers Mobile Data capabilities. It is not something you can set to work at just h+... this depends on the strength of your carrier in the particular area you are at. Your phone will pick up the best signal it can. Mine also goes back and forth, depending where my location is... and the building structure I'm at (and how much interference there is between buildings, etc)... unless it's some hardware you can attach (like antenna on inside of back cover) to boost signal.
I remember for my S2 device... someone posted a way to just have a certain mobile data signal... but it didn't really work, just had the symbol, but obviously still can only get what my phone was able to pick up.
If someone else knows a solution I haven't heard of, would like to hear it.
Oh thnx.
Plus no one will try to create a mod to use the less power signal instead of 3g. So seems like this is it.
But my idea was if a developer can make a mod to stop looking for better signals after achieving h+ that's it.

Lol... H+ stands for hsdpa/hspa ...it is 3.5g...faster than 3g
The phone runs on H+ during data usage and 3g for calls

Anyway is there any way u know to then just stop on 3g cus I really don't want 3.5g.

Unfortunately there are no ways reported for 3g and H+ toggle as far as I know
Only 2g to 3g toggle is known

When there no data transfer it will show 3g and when data is being used it will show h+ or h

Using sevice mode to select HSPA only, no UMTS ( 3G )
