[Q] [Troubleshooting] 3G network problem - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I have problem with 3G connection through application, but wifi is fine. All that I can do through 3G connection is go on a internet browser and surf. But if I open some application which uses the internet so do not connect..
How I said through wifi is everithing fine, but through 3g is not.
I tried wipe, factory reset and clear cache from but nothink helped...

Goto -> Settings -> Wireless Networks -> Mobile Network -> APN
Is there anything there?
If there is find the settings for your carrier and double check them

re:
Yes, of course there is configuration for 3G work... I said in a internet browser I can surf, but I can't use internet through apps as gmail, market etc...

Can it bee that the network provider has somesort of problem with the network or the gmail and market servers they are using is down. Once i have gmail problem but that wasn't the phones fault The server Google used was down with somesort of problem. Must say that strange problems ppl has with they phone if connection via wifi works but not 3g? Then it must be fault in settings or fault i the network.

I do not think that, because I have this problem around 1-2 months

So you can not connect via 3g at all from application?

try and add the network manually (as if the SSID wasn't being broadcast) see if that works, i had a similar problem and did this and it kicked the wifi in the seat of the pants and it started working again.
Tried that, still not finding it. Would the security level / type of security have any thing to do with it?

[Q] Data useage and selecting wifi

Hey all,
Dumb question here but first android phone so need your help.
I only have 500mb of data allowance with vodafone UK and just recently got a text from them saying im near my limit for the month.
Being at home with the phone I use an app called quick settings to disable mobile data and then enable wifi.
But just used network monitor app and it says that I've not used any wifi.
Can anyone help with what Im doing wrong as dont want to go over the allowance. Coming from a BB never had this issue as they ZERO apps worth downloading
Cheers
I use Network Counter.
If you want to know how much different programs waste, you can look at TrafficStats.

Thanks will give both a go. My worrying thing is android market doesnt seem to use the wifi when downloading even with mobile data disabled.
Maybe your wifi sleep policy is wrong, go to settings - network & wireless and go to wifi/wireless settings and tap lower left touch button at bottom of phone and select advanced once in that menu you should see wifi sleep policy select that and set it to never, it means the wifi is always on even when phone is locked. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the 2 programs suggested. Seems network monitor didn't show anything correctly.
With wifi on and data disabled your 2 suggestions show wifi kicking in.
Just gotta remember to switch on before downloading!!!
Thanks again

[Q] Wifi connection

Hello forum! I'm having an annoying issue with my I9070: when I connect to my domestic wireless LAN the cellphone regularly accesses the Web and web-based apps work fine. But if I leave the phone inactive for, say, 10 minutes, it won't be able to access internet sources. The strange thing is that it still reports being connected to the LAN: to regain the connection I have to turn off the Wifi and turn it on again.
This is annoying because those apps that work in background can't actually access Internet and thus won't function regularly!
I've looked for solutions on the Net: I found that Android phones have troubles with WPA-PSK-protected wireless networks, such as mine; I found suggestions regarding the code *#001#* to access a debug screen where to turn off Wifi sleep mode (but for heaven's sake, I couldn't be able to find this goddamn option!); somebody suggested to switch to static IPs on the phone, to no avail.
If it can help, I have an unrooted phone with Gingerbread 2.3.6.
Try to go to Settings - Wi-fi - Advanced - Wifi always on > there check always.
I hope it helped

Yep, the setting was already checked.
I can't seem to understand if the problem is in the router or in my smartphone. Hope it's not an hardware issue.

Do you have some battery boost application installed or something else what could affect turning wireless off? If you have, try to uninstall it.

Only battery related app is Battery Widget from Elvison, and it's just a widget showing me the charge left. Don't think it could be the problem, it doesn't feature any battery saving or battery boost function.
I'm experiencing exactly the same problem, but I only have this using my home Wifi.
Looking for a solution also!
EDIT: Do you have this everywhere but also just at one specific place or router?
What brand is your router?

Sorry for the delay of my answer.
I noticed that this happens at my girlfriend's house too, and also her wireless network is protected via WPA-PSK.
My brand of router is Sitecom, while my girlfriend's is DLink.
I'm using a sitecom at home too.. Guess the problem is more in the router than on the phone.
I've already been through the routers setting but unable to find anything..

Wifi ssid not showing

I'm currently roaming and for some reason I can't find any ssid networks when I scan to show up. I can't find any answers anywhere.

Well I guess lets go through the basics first...Are you sure that WiFi is on? Have you restarted your phone? Have you performed a factory reset?
Are the ssid's your searching for "hidden" ssid's?
If I set my home Wi-Fi router to broadcast ssid, I see it. If I set it to hidden, I can't see it.
This is a known problem. I have it; I thought it was my fault for deleting too many apk's. Then a girl came along with unrooted stock phone and said she had it.
use app from play store to temporarily fix problem
My Note 3 drops WiFi at my home saying the signal its not strong, but my computer and the other phones can connect. I have to turn off cellular data to get it to connect.
