Fast dormancy on tmobile - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Appearently tmo US does support it but its set to unknown....
Should i enable or disable?

Idk. My G4 sleeps like a boss and battery life has been very good so far. Are you having issues?

I only know that TMO US supports FD. Most US carriers support this, but I haven't done a whole lot of research on other carriers other than TMO US.

you rock. i'm on tmobile and just enabled it. from the little research I did it seems like it's surely a good idea to enable it correct it? really no downside?
---------- Post added at 01:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------
my only question is i've read if you have it on and your area/network don't support it you can loose more battery life? Does all of tmobile have it in the US or does it go by area and if so how do i check?
BTW Thanks again!

There is no downside as long as your carrier supports it, yeah. FD basically switches your LTE connection to 3G if you're not using the internet. This way it doesn't drain your battery as quickly. The reason why you lose battery if your carrier does NOT support it, is because then your phone ping the network more than it should. All of TMO US LTE areas have this because it's built into the network.

Just curious why T-Mobile doesnt enable this by default on their phones if it is so useful?

I keep getting this error when I type the code in, any help?

Thanks, I enabled this yesterday . Question if this uses 3G for phone calls does it affect HD calls or HD calls are also on 3G connections?

I just went through the hidden menu on the H815 model - couldn't find any setting akin to fast dormancy. I can assume then that this is strictly for the T-Mobile variant?

Sprint L710 --> Verizon prepaid

So finally got it worked on Verizon prepaid. Can say it works perfect, perhaps first day, 3G works well.
In that case I have a few questons.
If I flash new Kernel, will it affect on my Verizon service at sprint's L710?
In total what I MUST NOT flash to keep Verizon working on my phone?
How dis you flash it to verizon prepaid?
Same way like to Boost or others with donored Verizon ESN it works well.
As for Tutorial, I'm not a specialist in that question but can help to write it if there are few sources.
Assuming it's like every other flashed service providers, flashing roms and kernels will not affect anything except maybe your ability to send mms. Just don't do a ##786# factory reset using a touchwiz rom because that will clear out your MDN/MSID and AAA Hex keys.
There's no way I'd be on Verizon for their 3g.

can't figure out how to connect phone to it.. put phone to debugging, and soft doesn't recognize it
You should try dfs. It connects to the gs3. I'm) poking for the settings to change. Sort of a step by step. There are plenty for cricket and boost. Just in can't find any for Verizon. I'm sure the steps are similar in just need the specific strings to put in.

Yes it connects.
Well, if you tell me where to look into DFS i'll provide you settings that you need.
In dfs look in Ports->diagnostic

Sorry, didn't see.
Well yesterday everything was good on 3g, but when I flashed CM10 I lost data connection, now I come back to stock but there is still some issues with data and Sprint icon appearing, sometimes I get 67 Error Registration to sprint failure.
I checked ##data, there is a lot of settings belong to Sprint. Also now i noticed that 3g speed too slow, i tried speedtest and got 120 down/150 up via speedtest, its not what I got yesterday before CM10. Also phone sometimes looses connection. Think something went wrong while I flashed CM10 or that guy didnt set all proper settings.
Averything txt/call/data work, but some issues I still have to solve...
Does somebody have some info what alse to change in settings?
Ill just stick to Speint instead of going thru all of that trouble to get prepaid.

No I did not. Cause I have no AAA/HA codes.
Also I can't flash zeros to SPC that's why I have no possibility to flash it over the air to Verizon.
No luck so far. I have done everything but i have the roaming sign. I cant make a call or text. Can you maybe post a screenshot of your tabs in dfs? I figure that would be easier than typing your values. When i try to make a call i get the verizon operator only. Im did not flash a verizon radio or anything. Not sure if thay matters.

[MOD](WIP) Add 3g/ipv4 support + more (update.zip)

I don't have much time so Ill revisit this later and give it more details
What this update zip does
add apns
allow edit of default apn
allow edit of tether apn
add 3G
add ipv4 option (and actually work)
proper icons (E, 3G, H and 4G)
all network modes visible (probably not needed but added anyway)
TETHER BROKE FOR NOW
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A NANDROID BEFORE YOU FLASH (works for me might not for you)
THIS REPLACES THE BUILD.PROP SO ANY PREVIOUS BUILD PROP MODIFICATIONS WILL BE LOST USE WITH CAUTION
If you want to use this with your modified build prop check back in a few days or take a look at the build prop inside the zip.
Reboot into twrp
Install apn_mod.zip
Wipe cache/dalvik (do not skip this)
Reboot system
Tell me if you get stuck in 3g I think I fixed that bug but not 100% sure (temp fix: open network mode and select GSM/WCDMA/LTE)

Honestly if you need to ask you probably wont benefit from it. But you can change the default tether apn to fast instead of pcweb + 3g + mega apn pack. I need ipv4 for my vpn to work properly and not leak my ip but there are lots of reasons to use ipv4 instead of ipv6.
This is awesome. could you possibly add lte/wcdma to the network modes? I can get the option in the hidden menu through the dialer, would love an option for it in the network mode menu.

When Roaming IPV6 doesn't work that well. I had to create another APN so I could connect to the roaming network. Even that was a little finicky. This will come in handy when going to Wyoming to visit the Family.

Probably not unless you are only seeing 2g and 4g lte if that is so you will see e/3g/lte after flashing this. but you can just go in the build prop and edit that in. I will try to update the op tonight with details but probably wont get to it until tomorrow. I guess if you already see e/3g/4g you will get a lot of apns from around the world with this package.
*Edit*
can you get ipv4 apn to work properly with this phone on att? I dont mean ipv4/ipv6 but the real ipv4? if not that would be another benefit for you if you care for ipv4.
It shows ipv4 in the APN, but I never see 3g, just LTE, 4g, and a couple times 2g.

yeah then you would only be getting apns from this. If you are interested in that I'm going to make a apn only package tomorrow for the zone people.

sorry didn't see you don't get 3G if this phone supports that band (I think it does) you should get 3g from this.
*edit
but that's just a simple build prob edit Ill have that in the op tomorrow
So this actually changes the tethering APN for the stock tethering app?
Does it also replace framework-res then?

This should help out with VPN and torrents. Checking it out now!
Does this removes the 5GB cap of tether use on T-Mobile ?
Thanks
VPN works now, that's awesome. Still not able to download torrents though, oh well. Nice work!
Hay boss do you have to make the changes to the build.prop for this to work? Reason is it cause poor signal and 4G to drop in and out. At least it does on my device. Had the same problem with those edits on the G2.

If you can get your tethering to work with the fast.t-mobile.com APN, data will not be counted as tethered data.

[/QUOTE said:
No 3G bug since I flashed this last night.
Last night I noticed my tether is broken, but I didn't know why. My computer will not connect to the hotspot and will complain that the signal is low.
I did some debugging and found this:
I/hostapd ( 3179): wlan0: AP-STA-MAX-REACHED
The phone is not allowing the client to connect because it thinks the max has been reached. It's not a build.prop thing, I couldn't find it there.
Doing some more digging, I found that the hostapd.conf file that is generated when the hotspot is on (/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf) has max_num_sta=0 even though I have set it to 8 on the Settings Menu. I have changed the settings to something else and this always comes up as 0.
I also see some errors about some config files not being setup properly:
Code:
E/hostapd (31402): Configuration file: /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf
E/hostapd (31402): Invalid MAC address '/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.accept' at line 1 in '/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.accept'
E/hostapd (31402): Line 15: Failed to hostapd_config_read_maclist '/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.accept' at config_file.c
Not sure where this config_file.c is, probably in the code of the hostapd binary.
I don't think I had seen hostapd being used in the stock tethering, but I wasn't really looking for it when debugging previously.

The stock firmware has a hidden tethering APN, which is pcweb.tmobile.com. Using this zip allows you to change the tethering APN. If that one is configured as fast, then you should be good to go. Is your tethering working with this patch? Mine isn't

Hotspot performance

Hi, I live in a metropolitan area with generally good LTE signal (t-mobile/usa), and before the OPO3 I had HTCs, nexuses and a Z3. And I use the WiFi hotspot a lot. All the handsets in the past few years had performed surprisingly really well - same service, same place - i could stream HD youtube since 2010.
This one though is barely loading pages. Everything else works great. Is this normal?
when u r connected via ur mobile hotspot have u done the speed test through the device u r connected to and see what speeds u r getting
---------- Post added at 05:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 AM ----------
not as good as urs
it's like riding a comet..
oh and that verizon IP is there because i couldn't even load the test page, so i had to load it on my wifi, but i tested it connected through the phone

Do you have two sim card loaded? I have T-Mobile and I only have 2G, 3G and LTE option.
Edit: I was on epic.tmobile. changed to fast.tmobile and LTE ipv6. Maybe I'll get better data now. If I do, I have to retract my statement about slow data.

Data connection switch 2G/3G/4G missing

Hello guys.
I need another tip as I am not running AT&T network in Europe I wanted to ask you if you are able to switch manually between network types 2G/3G/4G. The phone connects me to 4G regardless to how bad the reception is, and in that areas I want to be able to swotch from 4G to 3G.

As far as I've ever known, the only way to really impact that without root would be to change APN settings. I can't really provide specifics on this device, but there definitely isn't a quick and easy way to toggle between them.

You saved me from selling my beloved S7 Active! After searching (camo green, unlocked) from about 2 months, I bought it a week ago. I'm using "MINT SIM". So on default network settings, I'm fine outdoor, but indoor situation is horrible, it keeps me in LTE (barely 1 bar). So calls were getting disconnected. I don't care about data in my house, as I'm on WIFI all the time. Now, from your provided code, I selected 'Global Auto' and I'm getting ALL bars of network! It is connecting me to UMTS automatically! Data speed good enough for me! I don't have to sell it anymore! Thanks a lot!!

Hello guys.
I need another tip as I am not running AT&T network in Europe I wanted to ask you if you are able to switch manually between network types 2G/3G/4G. The phone connects me to 4G regardless to how bad the reception is, and in that areas I want to be able to swotch from 4G to 3G.
Does any of you have a solution for this item?
Your responses will be appreciated.

apn settings on sm-976v

I jave a verizon note 10 plus. I want to switch to straight talk. The voice and text works but the mms and data do not. I tried to update the apn but unable to. Any insight to this?
Has Verizon unlocked it?

How long have you had the device? If less than 60 days you're going to have to call Verizon.
If over 60 days.
Which Straight Talk SIM did you use? If I remember correctly, Straight Talk includes different SIMs for each network in its packaging.
You may need to call Straight Talk.

They did not unlock it and I've had it over a year. They have a verizon sim that can make and receive calls and text. We can't send or receive mms and have no data connection. I try to get the proper apn and it says the user cannot make changes and everything is grayed out.

Then call Verizon. Verizon SIM unlocks its devices after 60 days. It's automatic.

Probably need to flash unlocked firmware so you have full access to all the settings like apn and such

From the way you've described. You cannot even put in apn settings?
Called Verizon and they said its unlocked and I cant change those settings even after the phone is unlocked so I'm screwed. There is no way for me to root and put custom firmware on it to edit that. I have a paperweight

Then you need to call Straight Talk. The issue is with them, or you used the wrong SIM. Straight Talk includes multiple SIMs in its packaging because it supports all four (three?) of the US carriers.
You can also check to see if your phone will work:
