Antenna Problem help!!!

Hi guys I have been getting slow speeds, on my 4g galaxy s is really slow the top is 0.12mbps beyond that it can't even touch 0.13, is something wrong with the radio?, i called my service provider and they said that my service was fine and it could be a problem with the phone. The phone is brand new and it started a couple of days ago, they also say it may be a problem with the towers in my area. It has to do with the phone I think because the tower cant be bad for days
are you on stock or a custom rom?
have you tried a different modem driver?
Why did you make 2 threads with the same question?
Also, go over to the galaxy s 4g section, as that is your phone and more people can help you. This is the vibrant 3g section.

Go to the galaxy s 4g section. This is the vibrant 3g section, and they are not the same phone, therefore we cannot help you.

Samsung Galaxy S II D710 vs Samsung Galaxy S II GT-19100

Is the modding for the Samsung Galaxy S II D710 [Sprint Version] Just as good as the modding for the Samsung Galaxy S II GT-19100 [Unlocked] version?
I am looking to switch from AT&T Dell Streak to Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II D710 [Sprint Version]. Finanical Reasons.
Best,
needspractice
PS.
I have my streak moded perfectly and was just wondering if you could mod up the D710 just like you could mod the Streak or the GT-19100?
Nope totally different phones if you flash anything made for the i9100 you will destroy your spring galaxy s2

Not sure that was his question... Sounds like he was just asking about modding.
OP, there is modding for the SPH-D710, yes. But sm625614 brings a VERY valid and important point. The SPH-D710 has different hardware, so do NOT flash any i9100 firmwares or kernels to it.
SPH-D710 also has a separate forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
Aw. Thank you very much. What is the difference between the two though? I mean am I going to be depressed because I have the Sprint version or is there a huge support moding group out there for the D710?

Besides the different cellular technology? (GSM vs. CDMA)
Why don't you check out the D710 forum I linked you to, and find out? I don't know the answer, as I'm an i9100 user, not a d710 user. Sorry.
Basically all I want to do on the Sprint network is tether with a mobile hotspot up to 8 devices for free. Install non market apps like the Amazon App Store. And Root my phone. Is this all pretty easy and possible with the D710 that you get from the Sprint Store?
And if I went there today? Would I get the newest version with the newest parts like the silver headphone jack and what not?
Also do you think its a big deal to give up my unlimited data plan on AT&T? Or if you pay the extra 10 dollars with Sprint is that basically unlimited data?
I would change out the roms but that is not entirely to important to me but I would like the option to.

I see you already posted this EXACT SAME question in the thread you posted in the Epic 4g Touch forum... So why are you still posting Sprint questions in a forum for a phone that doesn't work on Sprint, and also disregarding the forum rule (http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263 - scroll down a bit) that says to only post once?
When you root it or flash a new ROM does it give you portable wireless hot spot?

That explains it. This guy needs to learn some forum etiquette. He doesn't even seem to be looking at the responses to most of his spam posts either. Just taking the shotgun approach.
O can you get wireless hot spot?

Weird Problem?

Hello all,
So I have a bit of a weird problem. I read about The Google Now for ICS Project with Voice Search now added (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224) and I decided to give it a shot. My first problem might be that my phone is not rooted. Now my phone is not this exact model but I cannot find a correct forum for my phone. It is a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S II LTE phone. To use the ICS Google Now Project will I need to root my phone?
Next question is when I plug my phone in, activate USB storage and search through my phone, I do not have the folders they say I should. I am looking for systems/apps which I do not have. Any reason behind this?
Thank you to anybody who is able to help me out
Your phone is an SGH-I727R. Also known as a skyrocket which has its own forum. Also you do have a system/apps folder but in order to access it your phone must be rooted.
Omg what's with all the slowrockets here and a Rogers one at that. Guess att and rogers are pretty similar? Lol...yeah...

I9300 is the International version
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
When u boot up the phone, it should say i9300 or i9305.
Or
Just go to Settings > About
Look at the "Model Number" and it will display GT-i9305 or GT-i9300

No this is the wrong forum. You need sprint galaxy s3 forum.
If you do anything from this section it will brick your device.

I too have been trying to root with stock FL26. I did have a rooted phone with FL26 but someone stole it at
the grocery store right out of my cart. Now I have a replacement from insurance that needs tweaking..
The guides I've seen are geared for older updates. not sure why it isn't working on the current.
You should check out life360, man. It's a phone tracker. Anyways. How did you get your phone rooted? I really need mine rooted!!

I had life360 installed, the guy took the phone down the street and pulled the battery first chance he had.
The street it was at when it updated last location was a drug dealer area. Anyway, on that particular phone I used odin in windows, similar method that I used with the original epic. Just trying to get this newest update rooted without bricking, just needed confirmation that the method talked about above would do that.
