Hi everyone. Can anyone help with my problem?

My phone (old smartphone) always disconnect my internet line with U-Mobile within just 1-2 seconds after I turn it on. Restarting phone, resetting Access Point Name (APN), consult with u-mobile staff --- all doesn't work.

The thing is I was able to connect to its internet connection only for the first 2 days that i subscribe to UMI28 plan, afterwards this problem happen. However, I've no problem connecting to house WiFi with my phone. Celcom line also no problem previously.

Anyone know how to solve this problem?

Maybe backup all your things up and do a factory reset is the best way?

K9 Mail or Aqua Mail, is what I recommend from others user who using it. But I don't use both because I'm using stock Gmail Apps.

My SL currently automatic shutdown only at nights. Battery is still 50%.

How to find out which app causing this problem?
*
If you not install anything to cause this, so it might be some bloatware or some malware apps. Get an Lookout/Avasts to scanned your devices, get AdNetwork Detector to scanned those crap dumb apps and uninstall those you find.

Final solution, factory reset it, and don't forget to backup all your important stuff.

Wait, that's a YouTube downloader.  I want an FB downloader.  Or, how do we get the FB YouTube video link?  I long-press but nothing happens sad.gif
*
if the video is uploaded to Youtube, you can open it by using youtube apps and share it by using the youtube downloader to download it.

But if the video is uploaded to the FB own FB server, then I havent found the way to do it yet.

hey guys, i wanna ask about apn..

im not using the internet and 3g, and while reading here and there about disabling mms auto retrieve, seems like apn got something to do with it. my question is, is it okay to delete the apn? will it effect my phone other than the internet/3g?
*
Why would you wanted to do that? Often went oversea? Afraid of auto retrieve, telco charge you for no reason?
I'm not really sure about this, but my device LG Nexus4 doesn't auto retrieve the MMS. smile.gif

Possible. But the Android just got too much way to customize our phone, so sometime really hard to find where and how does it comes from. Maybe you can head to XDA forum go to section theme and skin ask this about would be more accurate. wink.gif

Maybe you can bring your phone and head over your telco for customer service support?

well sadly due to health reason, i rarely walk outside the threshold of the house, which is also the reason why i hate getting my credits sucked dry cause i can rarely get the chance to top it up again :/ and also cause i like solving stuff like this myself haha. but thanks for telling me that though, maybe i'll do it when i get the chance to and nothing else works ^^

if that case, you call to their customer service support regarding your phone model issues to look for solution. Also switch to postpaid and do auto-debit monthly, hassle-less! thumbup.gif

For me is NO, you can get better spec with the price you pay. Forget about S2.

Hi Guys,

Is that true after awhile, the Android device performance will drop? is it due to OS issue?

Not offence to Android device, coz I'm thinking to change from Iphone to Samsung device.

Thanks

Grab Jelly Bean 4.1 or 4.2 above with at least 1 or 2Gb Ram above, you wont complain at all.

Looking for the best browser for android, specifically for Samsung S3.

Currently I am using Google Chrome, but I felt it isn't as good as I thought. Sometimes, it was a bit sluggish...and it cannot copy and go to "website link".

I tried Opera Mini, but I don't really fond that it needs Youtube Apps to watch video at youtube.com.

Any better browser that can watch youtube.com without relying on Youtube app?

For some reason, youtube app never works for me because it takes too long to load the video, and I don't encounter this problem when I am using Google Chrome to surf youtube.com.
*
Use Google Chrome BETA instead of Google Chrome, else get Dophin Browser.

Open the "Always" Apps that you have chosen.
Close the Apps by going back to home screen.
Open your recent Apps.
Hold your Apps until option pop out and select AppInfo.
Then scroll till bottom, look for a button and click Clear Default.

Hi Guys,

New android user here.

Sometimes I lost my 3g signal, my android won't reacquire thesignal. I have to turn on and off aeroplane mode to get back the signal.

I'm using moto g.

Is there a fix for this?

Many thanks for the help!

That was weird, normally if no 3G would be 2G(aka E or G) What telco you using?

Oh I'm using Digi. Nothing wrong on the reception.

Actually, let me clarify a bit - I usually lost when in underground parking area or lift or etc where there is no signal whatsover.

I would expect the signal to be reacquired once I am clear from the area, but it won't. So I have to result to using aeroplane on/off method.

Do you know anyone having this problem?
*
Happen to me once before when I was using Nexus 4 in DiGi but after port to Maxis/Umobile no such problem, now I switch using Moto G in Umobile also no this problem. So maybe 2 possibility, either our current smartphone too slow to re-connect to the telco data signal, or either DiGi fault. LOL.

Good morning.

I'm an S4 user and I always charge my phone when the battery reaches 2% or 3%.

Normally, I will charge it for around 3 to 4 hours maximum when the battery reaches the percentage above.

Is 3 to 4 hours enough to charge ? Or should I go to 5 hours ?
*
Not neccesary to do that, when reach 100%, charge another 10min and unplug it off. (trickle charging purpose)

Mind to tell more detail what is the meaning of fail to run? Maybe you could send your Ninetenology SC to find out more? Looks like something is messing up inside your phone. And it looks fishy.

Backup all your important stuff like (SMS/Photo/Music/Video) and then do a factory reset. Contacts normally Sync to your Google Accounts.

Hi i need some help regarding factory reset option. Now if there is some major bug/problems cannot be solve by any other solution, the best solution is factory reset rite? And most of the time after reset u need to restore to backup for obvious reasons rite? So my question is if my problem is fix after the reset wont the restore from backup point bring back the bug/problems again?..Sry i hope i explain mysef correctly...Thxz
*
1) First, tell us your problem/bug, try to explain the situation.
2) Tell us your device model.
3) What method that you use to backup your own stuff?
4) Restoring your backup won't bring back the bug/problem to you, unless you tell us the above 1. and 3. question. smile.gif

1. Basically there r few problems i getting only lately - random freeze/hang/then restart, answer incoming call automatically loud speaker ON..etc

3. Method i use for backup is the default Backup and Restore app dat comes withe Xperia SP.I think its just a very basic backup app

Do you still have warranty left? If yes, try to claim warranty for such incident.

Your problem of your phone is acting weird, if you don't have any warranty left, you should backup all your stuff into PC, and then unlock bootloader and root+flash it with CustomROM and CustomRecovery.

So now, you can do a factory reset and then try use for awhile and see the problem still persists or not, always update your device to the latest official version.

Lastly, I'm not sure your backup stuff will survive your factory reset or not, so to be safe, backup manually into your PC.

Which Android phone manufacturer is the friendliest in terms of setup for rooting and customization? Samsung has KNOX now, HTC has locked bootloaders and so on. Which manufacturer is a worthy contender while still allowing its users to customize as needed?

I know the Nexus line is a definite yes, but are there any others?

Nexus > Google Play Edition > Motorola > Sony > Samsung/HTC/Lenovo
