[Q] Reckless Getaway will only download over mobile network (?!) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! I bought these two amazing games (racing & getaway) over the market 10 billion offers for 10cents, but I'm having problems installing them: Neither of them will download the data files!
I thought maybe it was the polarbit servers were being hammered by the downloads, but it's been 3 days and I'm still unable to even start the download. So I attempted using my mobile network. Which is something most of you would have attempted already. But in my case...my network is limited to EDGE/GPRS connection. Which means the fastest speed I can get is around 90~100kbps on the good days. Just to make it clear, that is somewhat 11KB/s. VERY slow.
So today I tried this network to see how that worked. And it works! Its just, that at this pace, I might need a whole uninterrupted week to download the data files, and I'm afraid as soon as for some reason the download stops (changing window, for example?), I will have to restart it.
So...Do you know of any possible reason for the game to ONLY download under the mobile network? I'm using my home WIFI, and as far as I know there shouldn't be any problem.
Thank you!

Do you get some error saying that? Doesn't make any sense, i downloaded it just fine over wifi.

Yeah I know it sounds weird. Now I've left the game downloading for half hour on my super slow connection, but I think the red progress bar didn't even reach 5%.
Also, today when I attempt to download over wifi, after somewhat 30 seconds or one minute, I get an error message "Download Failed, please verify you have a working wifi connection", or something like that. Wifi works perfectly for anything else, and as far as I know, there's no kind of cap or limit.

No 3G with cooked ROMs?

Hi Guys.
So I was finally able to get a cooked ROM on my Fuze using an older XP machine that I had. But now, after trying both ROMeOS and DCS, I'm not getting any 3G signal. What i do get at times is the hsdpa signal, but i don't actually receive it; none of the data services are working (internet, weather, youtube, etc.). Could someone please tell me how to get 3G on my Fuze?
EDIT: It seems like I am getting the HSDPA signal at times but its very tempermental
anyone have a solution?

In start>settings>phone>band do you have the auto in both drop menus on??
also try start>settings>connections>advanced network> in the HSDPA try to see which option is used. try to use 'enable HSDPA Only' or even disable it completely and see what happens.
had the same issue and this seemed to fix it.
Advanced Config Tool>menu>more settings>Comm manager - Add 3g to comms manager.
Open comms manager and switch 3g off > soft reset > switch 3g on > soft reset
Good luck
thanks ill try that out when i get a chance. what rom were you using?
EDIT: nvm saw it in your sig
did you run the network config wizard after flashing the rom?
it prompts (or detects) your country and operator and configures most things for you.
if it's not part of your cooked rom, look for it as a .cab
yea i ran the config but it still doesnt connect to 3g. I'm trying the suggested solution now
still not working....
I still cant run apps like cellular video and the youtube app. Youtube just wont load the vids, and CV gives me a message that says it's only supported to 3G phones. I really hope theres a solution to this since I really love ROMeOS but I want apps like youtube and CV
haha i give up. I officially ***king hate this. I feel like I spent 300 bucks on a phone that is perfectly engineered and has crap software on it. Im so agitated i can't even think straight. I'm really close to just getting rid of this phone and i dont even know.
Well... felt good to tell someone.
I am having the same problems. I am using an ATT Fuze and I flashed ROMeOS last night and now I cant to connect to the internet or use the youtube app via HSDPa/HSUPA, 3G, or Edge. I can use these applications if I turn on Wi Fi, but if I use cellular internet I get a big red sign that says "ERROR" and then followed by "the remote server refuses to perform the request. This address is not available". It also shows an H on the top bar if anyone was wondering. Any fix for this or just try a different ROM?
Update: I tried a new ROM and same thing. Does anyone have a solution? I am sure us two aren't the only ones with this problem!
I am getting pretty desperate, can anyone help?
same problem here, my area supports hsdpa but with a speedtest i have between 24 and 36kbit

go to start>settings>Connections>Advanced network>GPRS "make sure CHAP authenticaion is selected. that is what ATT network uses. then go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connections> select manage existing connections and then go to the proxy tab. make sure your remove both check marks and you should be good to go.
Wow, thank you HackMimic that worked! I tried everything I could think of and was about to go back to stock ROM just to use 3G, but now I can continue using flashed ROMS. To the original poster of this thread try the above and it should work as I had the exact same symptoms you described and now I am cruising along on HSDPA! Once again thanks HackMimic!
no problem. i had the same issue back in the day when the connection setup app first cam out i noticed that it always seem to set the GPRS Settings to PAP instead of CHAP which is needed for MMS and the net over here in america. also noticed issues with proxy selected. glad i could help.
Yea I tried HackMimic's fix but not directly from you . I was reading on how to configure skyfire and they said to do that, and what ended up happening is all of the sudden the youtube app worked and so did everything else. Regardless, thanks for the solution. I'm a little more amazed everyday by the wealth of knowledge on this forum

[Q] Downloading/Data problems

I have a problem with with connectivity of my phone. I will have full 3g service but at times will not be able to load anything on the web. To correct this I have to continuously refresh till it connects or reboot my phone. On average this happens 2-3 times a day (usually will start to connect after I refresh the page a few times) and requires a reboot to correct about 2-3 times a week. I have had this problem while completely stock and while running various custom roms. I have called "tech" support at T-Mobile and so far they have been no help. They gave me a new sim, reset my service twice, master reset my phone, and told me to switch to Edge every time it happens to see if that helps. So far nothing. My local store said they are fixing the towers around my area because we are not seeing the speeds we should, but this happens on any location I am in around the city.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any help to fix this would be awesome!
Another, maybe associated problem, is I am not able to download any files to my phone. When trying to do so from any download site, when I select download nothing happens. I have Astro and have it selected to allow. When it does randomly decide it will download the file it will only download about 180kb and say its finished when the file is 180mb. Any ideas on why this is happening again would be awesome. Right now I am using Bionix 9 and have no problems with anything else. This happens no matter what rom I am using just like the connection problems.
If this has been answered already I am sorry but I could not find it just direct me that way and close this thread. I usually find what I need without posting as you can see from the lack of posts lol. Thanks again all!
I have the same problem. For example I will have full bars on 3g and market will say something about no network connection
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I've had the same problem as well. Tmobile said to get a new SIM card, which i did. It helped a little bit, but every once in a while it will lose its connection. They are sending me a new phone, since I threatened to cancel service. I'm really hoping froyo will fix this problem.

NetflixOne app... movie doesn't play

I can open and login to Netflix, which is very laggy. I see the list of movies, but when I select a movie (Ironman2 and some old cartoon) it starts to load and just hangs on the red "NetFlix" screen with the loading message. I have 4-5 bars of signal. Any suggestions?
Using NetflixONE
First install of any Netflix
No tweaks to EVO 3D....
Thanks,
Larry
Mine workes fine and its snappy. Then again, I'm using Wifi.
Yeah, I have to try WiFi when I get home. Hopefully that's it. Still, that kind of sucks that I would experience these issues with 4-5 bars!
Either way, thanks for the reply.
Larry
Hmmmmm im using the same but in blue.... Works absolutely perfect... Even over 3G
Sent from my Evo3D
Works for everyone else. So it should work for you. Even if you have full bars... that's just your voice connection. Maybe your data signal is weak. Do you have anything running in the background? Try a SpeedTest.
IN response to ChriChoi...
Hmm, you may be on to something. Ever since I got my phone (June 25) accessing the internet has been slower than when I was using my Hero. For instance, when opening Google, the page would load in decent time but the progress bar would take up to 35 seconds to load! Same with other sites.
As for the Speed Test, here are my results... not sure if this is good or bad
Download = 131kbps
Upload = 128kbps
Ping = 774ms
As for the Netflix apk
- NetFlixONE-HiDef1080p-RedSea-VXXX.apk
I will try the blue version. But I feel it is my data connection or possibly phone.
Update...
It was the "data" connection I had at my office. As soon as I got home and connected my wireless, Netflix worked perfectly. Thanks for all the replies fellas!

3G issue

I have a slow but free 3g for my contract, it was working fine for months with my android phone, and about 2 weeks with my lumia, but now it refuses to work normaly. Everytime i try to load a page, it says "cant open webpage" but it works after a refresh. Its really annoying. I guess its the problem of IE...i have to say it sucks as much as on desktop. But there isn't any other for wp7, is there? Or is it possible to turn of https? Its really annoying too... we have a free fb (facebook zero, 0.facebook.com wich has better speeds than m.facebook.com) but everytime i try to open a page it warns me its not https and i have to confirm continuing to the page.
Also if I try to turn on HSDPA it restarts and its still turned off, any idea?

HSDPA is still on even though that trigger says off. Don't worry about that.
Can't help you with the other stuff though. Guess it got something to do with your 3D connection itself? It might be bad. I have never had as good network coverage as I have with this phone. I have data connection were all my Androids have failed me.

push messages arrive very lately (if they do) anything that use 3g is very slow

Question WiFi slowdowns

Hello all,
I have a cable modem, which broadcasts 2.4 and 5 GHz wifi signals. My internet connection speed is 1000 Mbps.
The problem is, that the wifi-based internet acts quite strange. I don't know how to explain it precisely, sorry for the lame description. My experiences so far:
Connecting to the wifi signals with the phone are fast and flawless. Both to the 2.4 and 5 GHZ networks.
The phone is within the 0,5-1 meter range from the source, the signal strength is maximum.
From the user's aspect it seems that the internet speed is wobbling from normal to very slow.
It seems like the host resolving is extremely slow, the downloading speed is fine.
Speedtest app displays ~500 Mbps download speed but sometimes it takes a minute to establish the measuring connection.
In most cases I'm unable to install or update apps from the Play Store. I can browse the store without problems, but the apps are not downloading, instead I'm getting a few minutes long "pending" text, then an error which displays "The app cannot be dowbloaded". In some cases the apps are downloaded.
I've tried the following:
The problem affects both the 2.4 and the 5 GHz networks.
Slowdowns are appearing both in browser and applications.
Another devices on the same networks are working fine. Even my old Samsung S7, an iPhon7 and a Realme Pad.
I have already checked the wifi channel population, there are no relevant interferences.
If I turn off then restart or switching between the wifi networks, it seems working fine for a minute then it starts to lagging again.
Mobile broadband connection is working perfectly.
Any tips and help are much appreciated. Thank you.

Why don't you update the ROM to the latest version?

RMX3301_11_A.10 is the latest version. It came out yesterday.
I have the latest ROM.
In the meantime I have figured out that the host resolving slowdowns were caused by an adblocking app, EVEN if it was turned off entirely.
Google Play Store downloads still struggling though. Sometimes they're lightning fast, in other cases do not finish.
I'm continuing the investigation.

How did you do the initial installation? Everything from scratch or from a backup of your previous phone?.
If you did the initial install from a backup, I recommend doing a hard reset and installing everything from scratch. The phone will work much better.

I did it from a backup, then installed some other stuff manually. To be honest, the phone started doing it automatically during the initial setup and I let it go. Does it matter?

Of course it matters, first, surely the backup was from android 11 and in the Realme you have android 12 and they are also different models, different processors. Some applications will create incompatibilities and that will make the phone work erratically.

Thanks for the tip, I will do a hard reset then and see what happens.
Well, I did a hard reset (a clean wipe) and reinstalled everything manually.
Google Play Store (from now on: GPS) still not working properly, but the browsing speed and everything else is fine.
In most cases GPS downloads are in "pending" status, then after one or two minutes, it displays a "can not download" error.
The interesting thing is, if I turn off then immediately on the wifi connection the downloads continue with full speed. This is working for a minute or so, then the connection become unstable again.
Quite annoying, but I can live with that until it affects only GPS downloads. Everything else looks normal (browsing, in-app downloads, notifications, messaging speed etc.)
For the Google Play store issue try this.
1. Go to system settings
2. Go to APPS
3. Go to APP management
4. Go to Google Play Store and open it
5. Tap the 3 dots at the top right
6. Choose uninstall updates
See if this begins to work properly afterwards

Unfortunately, it did not solve the problem.
If you have access to another wifi in another location does the Google Play store issue continue? If it works then you have some type of issue with the wifi at your location.
