[Q]Why wont my 3g work? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I flashed Dark Knight v 5.5 to my rooted samsung captivate and I love the rom but when i go to download things over 3g from the market place they get stuck and wont continue, I have left them for hours and it still wont download even 2mb. I think its because I have a H sign where my 3g used to be when i was on ginger bread.Im on ATT and any help is appreciated I have searched for hours in this forum and the web but I could not find anything. Thanks
If you need more info let me Know and im still new so im not sure where to post this.

Settings > Wireless Networks....More > Mobile Networks > Use Only 2G Networks
If the box is selected, you will not connect above 2G, it must be un-checked.

The phone is connecting fine on 3g for everything except downloading things from the market place, it will start downloading and just stop and wont move on for hours.. I have made sure that option is unchecked also.

What about under Manage applications/ Google Play Store... Try Clear Cache, then Force Stop, then try downloading something again...

Alright I could not get it to work in dark Knight but for some reason it works in Slim ics fine Let me flash back to dark Knight to try that and i will report back.

Alright I flashed back to dark Knight and now the downloads from 3g get stuck on the downloading message don't proceed to finish. Everything except downloading from the market works, looks like i will have to flash back to Slim ics till someone finds a fix for this and yes i tried the above.

I'm having the SAME exact issue. A few people here have offered advice which didn't work for me, but mostly I'm ignored because it seems to be "my problem" since not enough people seem to be having this issue.
If I flash back to stock using ODIN market downloads are snappy again.

Try clearing market data.
Clearing data didnt work

Is this happening on 3g or wifi connection?
I have seen this issue..i have three captivates all running cog5.5 and only one seems to have occasional problem with market...not sure exactly what causes problem but toggling wifi, clearing cache or rebooting seems to correct it
I am not patient so I don't wait an hour for a download....if it does not work I just try the above in that order and usually one of the first two works but reboot always fixes

It happens in 3g and its all the time, each and every single download. In wifi its normal and snappy. I know its not my network coz web is fast and everything. Rebooting doesnt work too, clearing market data too so what else could I do?

Just because your browser experience is good does not in and of itself completely eliminate your 3g connection a being the cause. One thing to try is attempting market downloads from a few different locations - this would help eliminate your data connection if your experience was the same at different locations.
I have a few more questions. have you flashed any custom roms? if you have flashed did you restore apps and data with TiB? Are you running any lag fixes? Are you using any task killers?
The downloads are the same everywhere and with browsing its faster than the iphone 4 I even compared them. Im runing the cognition 5 beta I think, I never restored anything and never screwed with the one click lag fix

Settings» About Phone - the build number at the bottom wil tell you which version of cog you are running.
When you say the market is slow everywhere - does it always everywhere jump out to a certain percentage than drop off to a slow crawl? And when you say everywhere - how many different locations and how far apart were they?
When you cleared the market data cache did you force close the market app first before clearing the cache?
And are you using any task killers?
Im actually runining cognition beta4, and im using the defult tast menager that came with the rom. Its all over the place, I could be 30 miles away from home and the downloads speed for market are slow. Usally it jumps to 14% or 33% and than just slows down like crazy and goes by 1%

It sounds like something is corrupted that market uses on your phone that is causing your network connection to crash while downloading. If the following does not clear it up you may need to reflash cog
go settings» wireless and network and put your phone into flight mode.
Then go settings» applications» manage applications - go to the "All" tab - scroll down and select the market app - here select force stop - then select clear data.
Then reboot your phone.
Turn off flight mode and retry your market.
Ok so I did what you told me, with no results. Still the same. How would I flash to beta 5 cognition? Can I just install it using rom menager and install it over the version I have now? Also how would I do it without losing anything. Also thank you for trying to help me!

Unless you go through the kernel swapping steps rom manager will not work with COG 2.2b4. Secondly - to be sure and get rid of what ever is causing your problem you wil be better off doing doing a full wipe anyway.
I use google contacts (www.google.com/contacts) and google colander (www.google.com/calendar) and then sync my phone with those each time I am done flashing. I move any pics, movies, and documents I want to save to my external sd card - and then I remove my external sd card for the flashing process (i also keep a backup copy of all these things on my pc). Any apps can be re downloaded from the market even the paid ones as they are linked to your google account.

[Q] No 3G on Rooted Samsung Captivate

I rooted my Captivate last night using Super One Click and the Youtube video from MobileTechVideos. I installed Titanium Backup and uninstalled all the bloatware along with Tethering Manager to allow for mobile hotspots. However, this morning I discovered I now have no 3G access and can only access the internet via my wireless network. I haven't come across anything online to suggest how to fix this problem. I've tried restarting my phone but this didn't work. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Any suggestions guys?

Use ODIN one click to go back to an out of the box state and see if the problem persists. If it does then it could be your hardware or AT&T's fault.

Sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. All I needed was to check Use Packet Data in the Mobile Network Settings. Thank you for the easy fix! I was getting ready to unroot and start again.

I am confused...by wireless network you mean like the one from your network(for eg: ATT) one right? your problem is that you are getting EGDE but not 3G? I am sorry I didnt get your problem.

Glad you did. anyway we are not perfect sometimes we may overlooked something due to excitement or what other feelings as a result of what we do and clouded up our troubleshooting instinct. The best way is to be calm and don't panic it's just part of being a rom flashaholic, overtime it will increase your confidence and skill.

[Q] Forgotten wireless network

Ok I'm a moron.
I accidentaly told my nook to forget a wireless network and now I can't get it back. I've looked all through settings and don't see anything that would allow me to reset this. I've tried scanning as well.
I'm running gingerbread the CM7 mod.
Sorry I tried searching but when you look for something like 'resetting' you get a lot of threads about resetting back to stock which is not what I want to do.
Is there a way to I don't know purge the wireless settings so it will search for networks that it has been told to forget?

When you tell it to forget it doesn't blacklist a Network, it just Removes it from your preferred Networks and forgets the Password. It should reapear on the list of Available networks if in Range.
If it won't show up even when standing next to it do this.
-Download Wifi Analyzer from Market.
-Open App Punch Menu and Tap View. Select AP List.
-Look for the Network and Tap it. It might prompt for a Plugin from Market. Just Download and continue.
-When Window pops up put in Password and hit Connect. TaDa it should now work.

Well I don't know if its a glitch in system or the mod itself but when I got home my nook wouldn't connect to my home network either. It kept saying I was out of range even when I was sitting in the room with the router.
So I ended up just reinstalling gingerbread. My instal was only a week old do no real biggie for me just annoying.
Ill just make sure not to ever forget a network again as it apparently Jones up my system
Thank you for the advice though.

Hey I have the same problem going on right now. My system wont connect to anything. The wifi status just keeps saying connecting and then will eventually turn off. I think I am going to use this as an excuse to try out Deeper-Blue's Honeycomb preview.

[Q] rooted droid 4 and razr

The wife and I both have received this error message that can not be gotten rid of by rebooting "facebook (build 144481) download requires network" it just will not go away. We have strong 4G LTE and WIFI signals. Not sure what it is. We rooted both phones with the tools found on this forum. Any help or direction is greatly appreciated

Not sure if it has anything to do with it or not, but later in the day that my wife received her error message (yesterday) she got the JB update
I also got the Facebook (Build 14481) download popup on my Samsung Galaxy S. Uninstalling Facebook app does not help and rebooting also does nothing.
How do I get this Facebook download notification to go away and stop it from downloading?
Again not sure if it has anything to do with JB rolling out, but now my "system updates" option in "about phone" is unavailable
Facebooks latest android update is skipping Google play store. They're updating directly through Facebook. Which raises a lot of concerns. And I'm sure rooted or custom devices are conflicting with this change.
I got the same thing on my GNex. I was able to long click the download and stop it (download manager), but it started again shortly. I just cleared the cache in D/L manager, we'll see how that goes.

Mine kept trying to download over and over and over...
I turned WiFi on, and it finally went away. They probably made it so it only downloads over wifi, but they probably stupidly wrote it so it polls for wifi connectivity instead of registering for a callback event. My phone was getting hot, until I got this notification to go away.

the Facebook (build 144481) download restarts again....and NEVER gets anywhere or does anything!!

Issue Resolves with WIFI use...whatever the Facebook (build 144481) was or is.....
This thread should probably be moved to a more general area. I'm also receiving it on a Samsung Vibrant rooted on 4.2.1.
Possible fix.
Long press on the error and then select app info, force stop. That should do it.
I got the same thing on an LG escape, and turning on WiFi doesnt help it. Nor does a reboot. Fing FB that I dont even use.

Tried that, it just comes back like 5 minutes later. I'll have to try connecting to wifi to see if it clears. Right now it seems to go on indefinitely without showing any progress. BTW I have an HTC One X+ stock.

fixed or resolved the issue for me in a matter of seconds...perhaps whatever the download update is....yours is locked up...try rebooting and having wifi on, so when the download restarts it's utilizing the wifi from the start...
Mine is gone!
Mine doesn't do that anymore. I first uninstall all facebook apps including the messenger one. You might have to clean the catches too.

[Q] Android OS using data in background

Hello everybody,
I am in big trouble. Android os is using my data in background. please explain me why i can't control this background usage.
I turned off every sync. I used droidwall, data manager, apn switch but still eating my data. please kindly help me how to solve this thread?
data switch should have control of all data usage.
thanks for reading my thread.
You are turning Mobile Data OFF but the phone is still using mobile data ???
Data use in the background is usually apps updates .
If mobile data toggle is off it uses no mobile data only wifi .

Hi Everyone, my friend is having the exact same problem, the status shows Android OS has downloaded 300+MB today. Anyone know what causes this? He has updated to the latest stock version of the OS via Keis. I have check all his other app settings and they are only downloading the usual 5MB per few days. This is very annoying.
If you set a limit in data usage it should cut it off when you go over it. I'd probably try a full wipe and start from scratch

One an app downloading two play updating apps three software OTA updates in the background .
Find something on Play store that monitors individual apps data usage .
Or just turn mobile data off .

Won't it show an app downloading in the notification bar if it was updating anything from the play store? Also I have turned off software update and still nothing, I have downloaded an app to monitor data usage and Android OS still shows the most downloaded. What is going on? This is frustrating.

Mobile Data is off so that nothing gets downloaded, that is the first thing I told him to do. I am at a loss as to what else to tell him. The only thing I can think of is installing another stock ROM via Odin.

If Mobile data is off then you need to be sure that its actually using data and check via the network .

Yes it is using the data as he got a text message from EE saying that he has nearly used up all his data plan and will be charged if he goes over it. So something is downloading as Android OS, an update has been done and am stumped. All other apps have their own download info so unless some other app that is badly made.
So that means Mobile Data is not turned off check the toggle .

Yes it is turned off. But when he wants to check FB, or News on the Phone it starts to update when he switches the phone on. He just text me and said that he has used up all his data and now is on 2G and can't afford to switch on 3G. So he will have to wait till the end of the month before he can use 3G. So I am not sure what to do. It seems a lot of people have this problem but it seems that no one knows what causes it. I thought it happened mostly on ICS but I have seem some people saying that their ROM (JB) has done the same thing.
Its a question of tracking down the updating app .
Turn firmware updates off in the settings for one .
Have a look on Google Play My Apps update them over WiFi .

I have installed that. But it still displays the same info also I have checked the settings for updating the apps and it is on WiFi only. I think I will have to Root the phone do backups and re-install via Odin.
It has downloaded 8MB this morning in a couple of hours.
problem solved
After finding several solutions, i change apn setting to pap mode. And i use droid wall and i allowed only facebook, candy crush and browser on 3g and allowed everything in wifi. Now its ok and no data use in background.
Thanks for your replies to my thread. Member.
