I have recently purchased Galaxy S and the phone runs fine for most part. But when I try to use GPRS on the phone, its slows down a lot and often freezes for several seconds. I only have this issue while using GPRS and not wifi. As soon as I switch GPRS off the phone gets back to its normal speed.
Does anyone know the likely cause of the problem and its solution? I am currently using Android 2.1 and the 2.2 upgrade is not available in my region.

Well i use my phone for work alot and it requires internet. I'm currently using the MilkyS ROM and the first time I flashed it my phone was probably slower than the stock 2.1 but internet was working fine. So i eventually got sick of the speed because games would lag and even general navigating. When I reflashed it the speed was fine it was great infact however my 3g started playing up it shows the 3g symbol, the APN is fine but the data connection is very unstable it might work for 2 minutes then drop out and stop working for 10 and the 3g symbol sometimes disappears when this happens! I'm becoming extremely frustrated please throw all your ideas at me. is it the modem i have to install with milkyS? will it solve the problem if i don't flash with the modem? thanks!!

Well buddy i think the problem is with the carrier !!
My SGS also have the same problem ,i found it out that some places couldn't get perfect 3G coverage that makes our signal reception to stutter,I changed the option to GSM only from GSM auto(PRL)in Jetpack v5.1 JVS this made the signal stable but my 3G is gone....
its even the same in JVQ too and my friend's SGS also does the same,it even did happen to my old MotoDroid/Milestone.So i think its a carrier issue...!
I don't think it is I think it has something to do with modem compatibility because I get the 3g symbol and every so often internet works for a bit of time but then cuts out and it just shows 3g sending but not receiving and sometimes the 3g symbol will disappear. I only had this problem when I tried to reflash the ROM. My reason for reflashing was slow phone speed for some reason but internet worked flawlessly. I had the same issue with the internet with the darky's rom too so I'm not sure of the issue but it's bugging me!!

If you are confident that its a modem issue then try CM7 and these threads maybe useful!

Try these.
As a quick and temporary solution, you can always return back to your stock firmware.
Go to samfirmware.com and download the original one.
I believe my note is originally south american (UBKK1 or something like that). On GB stock rom, wifi worked beautifully for me in the US. Since upgrading to stock open germany ICS, I've been having major problems.
Right after upgrade, it connects but drops to 5mbps whenever I try to browse or do anything that requires data. I rebooted the phone and now it drops to 5mbps but can't even connect to any sites.
I'm very baffled because it has successfully authenticates and gets an IP and initially connects at like 58mbps. The instant I use it, it drops to 5mbps and it can't ACTUALLY connect to anything.
Has anyone had this problem? Are there any subtle differences in wifi bands between North American/South American/Europe?
I've had some problems getting wifi to work right after upgrading from GB to ICS. I'm also on the stock German one (rooted). I resetted my router and modem removed the network from my device and then restarted it.
It started working, but not as smooth as on GB. Signal is showing less bars and drops more.

Hello
I am a lucky user of Galaxy Note.
I have also a problem with 3G/HSPA modem.
There is mostly working connection,where my download speeds reaches up to 8Mbps,however suddenly it stops transfering the data.
Then I must switch on/off the airplane mode and it works again.
So,where can the problem be? It occurs few times per day and it is very annoying.
I am running on Orange Slovakia network.
Is there any way to upgrade radio/modem stack?
Thanks,Tomas.
Hello, I've been experiencing a problem since I had my old I9003. It is exactly the same: When I lock my phone, it sometimes loses the connection to internet until I unlock it. Then, suddenly it connects and recieves all the info that was waiting to arrive.
Additionaly, I see that the phone is almost always using Edge connection, and that is very strange because I live in a big city and everybody with the same model of phone recieves H connection. When I do recieve that quality, internet works perfectly. Strangely, the phone never uses 3g connection, when the icon appears at the top, it suddenly changes to H.
As I said before, the same problem happened to me with my samsung galaxy SCL, exactly the same. I sent it to the oficial service of samsung and recieved a new samsung galaxy s plus. However, I think that they just changed the outside of the mobile phone, because the connectivity problem remained the same.
The info of my phone is the next:
Android: 4.1.2
I9001XXKPG
3.0.74-cyanogenmod-g8b4fc54
[email protected] #195
I flashed my phone to 4.1.2, but this problem already existed before flashing.
Anyone experiencing the same problem?
I am using samsung galaxy note GTN7000 with CWM 10.1.3. Recently i got into a weird issue of shutdown. Phone switches off automatically after sometime when i am using internet through wifi or 3g. But if the charger is plugged in it will not shut down. Also it does not shut down if internet is not in use i.e. wifi is off and mobile data is disabled. I tried changing ROMs, went back to stock ROM but problem still persists.

Try to use the camera with flash and check if the phone shuts down... Could be issue with battery.
