My internet on straight talk is suuuper slow whenever its not connected to wifi. I was wondering if anybody has some tricks up their sleeve other than not inputting the proxy settings?? Thanks in advance.

What does your network icon show? It's located at the top right, next to your signal bars. Is it 4g or E?

Its 4g but I can't even load a YouTube video on HQ and on regular quality it HAS to buffer the whole video before playing it. So in a nutshell I can't stream video properly. Websites like Google and yahoo all work pretty snappy its just that streaming issue that's killing me lol

You might be getting throttled straight talk is random first I would take out your battery and your sim card for about 30 seconds then put em back in and turn it on. I f that doesnt work call their customer service and let them know your service is running slow and follow their instructions. I've had this happen a few times and these two steps worked for me when I call them I take out the battery and the sim card as well just because not sure it if helps.
also use the speed test app to see if there is any difference in your speed before and after you follow these steps hope it helps.

I think it might be something else cause I've been on wifi almost the whole month cause I'm always home working on music.. maybe my APN's wrong or something.. is your straight talk slow after a while? Like do you by any chance what's our speed cap??

Its not throttling, I have the same issue, I think its AT&T servers. I have the same service but on TMobile SIM and I switch SIM cards and on TMobile I get faster server and uninterrupted service. I think problem is mainly with ping times. My 3MB/sec AT&T service is wayyy slower than the 5MB/sec TMobile service (both on Straighttalk SIMs on the same GNote i717.
(P.S. I thought I need to Root to get 4G with TMobile sim but it works without root. Strange?!

Anyone else experiencing this? I live in Maui, so i obviously don't have LTE. I have an unlimited data plan in which only 250 megabytes have been consumed. I will be at the store and have 4 or 5 bars and it takes forever to load a simple web page.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Is this typical on all of the roms? I was on a call and went to send my wife a picture of what I was looking at in messaging and got a popup saying can't open camera during call. Never really noticed it before but was wondering if it was the stock camera app or the phone. I'm on Saurom VI with Att fix.

Yes this is normal. Every android phone I have had works this way
Yes mine does the same thing.

stock camera does that but some of the cam aps from the market work just fine during a call
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Cool, thanks to know. Seems kind of silly that I can't take a picture while I'm on the phone. I don't think the camera makes the earpiece work......lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Not all of them work this way. The GSII did not and neither did the GSII SR. At least on the official ROMs I played with the camera worked during a call. I have not tried that on the Note.
What would be the logic of disabling the camera while on a call.?

That's what I thought. It's not like it needs the phone radio to open.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Its more about the resources that the phone uses while on a call and the camera. The are both huge ram hogs. And we know what happens when the system gets taxed too much.
Can someone PLEASE tell me where to find the wifi calling service and or app so that i can get rid of this garbage annoying service and icon. Thank you.
No it's not in my settings. Yes I'm using a custom Rom but no one else using the Rom is having the issue so if someone could just tell me where to locate it in root explorer that'd be great. Thanks
Btw I deleted the WiFicall.Apk in system /app and it's still there so I know that's not it

Have you tried tried unchecking the box under Settings/More settings (under Wireless and network)?

IN the phone app, menu settings, should be at the bottom.
Under the dialing tab, hit the menu, choose call settings
at the bottom under Internet Call Settings
Try Titanium Back Up from Playstore, and go to Menu ---> Then Batch, find it and un-install it from there.
Lol it's not in either of those places. It's not in titanium backup either. Anyone know where it is in system?

Wifi calling is an awesome feature for those of us who travel internationally or have bad coverage in our homes.

Does it count as calling from abroad? Or does it just use regular minutes?
Go to settings > More Settings and uncheck wifi calling
And wifi calling deducts from your limited minutes. It isnt free calling but its just in case you have a bad phone signal you can use someones wifi to make calls. Once you make that call you cant be out of the wifi range or your call will drop. I disabled mine.

So this is probably a dumb question but I have nevr had it happen before. My DNA the last couple days intermittently has been showing the 3g icon even while I'm connected to WiFi. I'm not sure but is that a bad thing or not?

If you send or receive a MMS while on WiFi your data will come on for a second or 2

Thank you. I honestly wasn't aware of that. And I was sending a panorama photo I had just taken around that time. Good to know.

I have the same thing happening but it's on 4G and 3G sometimes, usually it doesn't show any data transmission but just seems to stay on doing nothing for several minutes. Mine does stay on until I shut off my mobile network and when I turn the mobile network back on it stays off. With no text messages or anything going through.
My calls are going straight to VM. Any ideas?

Yeah, I looked at that in settings and it was not checked. I just did a light re-flash of this rom, and they're still going to VM.

It happened to me, but my issue was extra ordinary since I would get calls with aosp-based roms. I had to take it to sprint and they said it was due to signal handoff issue between towers.
