[Q] PLZ PLZ help..3g and 4g issue

---

Hi there. Im on EB13 and not running any customs rums. I upgraded from DK28 using the samsung file from the samsung website. Ever since I went from DI18 to DK28 last month i keep dropping 3g or 4g signal. the problem still exists even when i upgraded to EB13. The interesting thing is that the phone shows I have 3g or 4g signal on the notification bar but im not able to load webpages or the market or use youtube (i get a "connection failed! try again" error). It'd be working for like 10 minutes and then disconnects. I have to toggle 3g/4g off and on and i will be back online for like another 10 minutes. This issue is really annoying since i used the web a lot. Is any body else experiencing this? does any one have a fix or can some at least direct me to a direction for a fix? thank y'all

thank you. i will give it a go but i doubt it will fix the problem. I have used odin several times before and besides the rotation issue that it causes (i know the fix to it) i like using it. But i have heard that the samsung update tool does the same thing as odin and it flashes everything prior to writing new files to the phone. It may just be a modem issue but again im a noob and i may just be talking out of my rear

Try removing the proxy settings off the data radio. On the dialer do this:

Get your MSL code first then
##data#
Edit
Others
Multimedia

Then change all proxy addresses to: 0.0.0.0 and the proxy ports to 0. Back out of the menus and reboot the phone.

Let me know how it goes.

Hey thanks. I had done this trick before and it didnt seem to help. I will do it again just to see if it makes a difference on EB13.

Did you figure anything out? You could always try to update your prl?

Why does sprint put these Proxy settings in place? What are they trying to achieve by having them setup?

prevent ppl from streaming data all day. It will slow down the network a bit in some areas. But we are lucky. The thiefs over at verizon got a data cap to 5gb. We do aswell but sprint turns a blind eye just like tmobile.

I havent figured anything out yet. i had my data network turned off since morning and occasionally used 4g. I also changed the proxy settings to 0s again. I will know by the next day or so. btw. Thank u for your help, u had helped me once before also.
