Smartphone and Cellphone Wars

Question to those with Smart data plans, is your mobile data connectivity consistent?

I just had mobile data enabled on my Smart line and I noticed that my mobile data keeps on getting disconnected. Even when I'm in the exact same spot, there are times when my internet would just disconnect and I'll have to restart my phone to restore connectivity.

And then sometimes, even if there's internet (indicated with an H+/H/4G/3G icon), I have a hard time loading apps and web pages.

I've never had this problem with my Globe mobile internet - 90% of the time I have 3G/LTE signal and it doesn't disconnect.

Present!

experienced that for almost a month, before ang lakas and ang ganda ng connection ko dito sa office

then boom bigla one day naging dead spot as in, totally nawalan ako data connection, network signal is fluctuating too.

Pinabayaan ko muna, until kahit asaan na ako intermittent talaga data and network ko.

I reported it to smart, mukhang isolated case saken. took them almost a week to fix it.

gumanda ng konti not like before.

I applied for retention na din BTW kaya goodbye unlidata na, mindful na ako sa usage.

Same experience from a friend a few days ago. She tested the data/day. And had the same experience.

It would go to gprs=2G wtf

Ngayon mo lang ba na Experience yan sir?. Sabi kasi dahil sa APEC magiging inconsistent daw mga Wireless internet dahil priority daw na mabigyan ng magandang connection yung mga delegates.

No. Mga 3 weeks na. Kahit wala sa metro manila ganyan din. And like I said, walang problema sa Globe.

Saan ka nagcomplain bro? Sa smart mismo? Nagpunta na ko sa service center tapos ginawan ng ticket number tapos wala namang nangyari.

I'm also on Smart, and data is really bad when I'm on Ayala turf (the whole of BGC, and Trinoma).
Lately, i've been encountering there are dead-data spots. One is in the Gradalupe bridge area. Another dead data spot is near the C5/Lanuza intersection. But I only experience this during heavy traffic (i.e. EVERY NIGHT). Siguro konti lang equipment ng Smart sa area na yon tapos hindi mahandle yung data traffic.

And yeah, the data icon is displayed (H+, etc.), there's no reception. Sometimes, toggling the airplane mode on/off helps. This forces the phone to reconnect to Smart.

I did both, visit the shop and call their helpdesk everyday. Sad thing no detailed/specific explanation were given to me kung ano nga ba ang problema.

Then i received a text informing me that the issue has been resolved, restart my device then kahit papano its better than before i raised them my concern.

Yes.

Many times ko na nireport ito sa smart, no response from them namely Glorietta and Trinoma talagang pahirapan sa cellular data connection.

May jammer ba dahil ayala owned both ayala malls and globe?

Ako prepaid smart na may kasamang net ang monthly subcription ko. Same experience. Nawawala minsan. Di naman lagi. What i do tawag ka sa smart. Tapos request mo na parang irefresh yung line mo

So far 10% of the time ko lang siguro na-eexperience yan. 90% of the time eh okay naman data plan ko. although HSPA+ lag max connection ko ha.

Any place you go ganyan ba? Or just a particular area?

Everywhere. Nakakainis nga pag nagwawaze, biglang mawawala so hindi ko alam kung yung route is still the best route since hindi naguupdate yung traffic. :/

Ah hindi nga maganda yan. Have you tried using another smartphone just to isolate na baka may problem smart sim mo sa current smartphone mo. Also smart provided ba sim mo or pina-cut mo lang sa mga telco shops/tiannge? Sa akin kasi dati ko pa sim yun, pina-cut ko sa labas kasi sobra haba pila sa smart bus center. Ayun kunting bump sa phone nawawala connection ko.

Pero sa'yo data lang naman ata may problem eh. Signal for calling and texting no problems tama ba?

Ako every year nangyayari yan. September onwards. 3 years and counting, pero meron talagang "enhancement" smart sa data nila. I think ni-ready nila for the expected influx of new subs bec of the iphone6s.

But they always give me rebate last year 3 months rebate binigay, this year 2 months.

CNS, bakit ka nag retention? Sayang unlidata. Bwisit-bwisit na smart sa akin 2 years ago pa ako kinukulit mag retention. Ayaw ko nga. [emoji16]

I gave in hehe wala pambili ng new unit, sayang naman ayun goodbye unlidata nga lang.

Wifey asked if I'll buy a new unit, masyado mahal na then may monthly pa ako sa plan not worth sparing my unlidata.

Now medyo konting ipit sa pag gamit ng mobile data. 15GB a month lang kasi. Ginagamay ko pa paano i-manage ng hindi mag exceed.

Madalas ngyayare saken to since nag switch ako to smart more than a year ago. After 7 years of loyalty to globe may mga disagreements ako so i switched. Kinda disappointed, pero try nyo work around nalang is to force ung connection nyo sa lower tier.

In our house 4g ang connection kaso hindi full bar, so I am forcing it to 3g/wcdma kasi full bar ako sa H+ e. Altho technically mas mabilis ang 4g, kung lahat ng 4g capable device sa area dun naka konek at weaker ang signal nya, e di wala rin. Try nyo lang i experiment madali lang naman ibalik.

I don't mind the data cap.

I used to have unli data, but I was paying 2499 a month. After my contract expired, I downgraded my plan to 1999 a month. Since I didn't get a new phone, I was entitled to a rebate of 600/month so in effect I was just paying 1400 for 5GB internet and unli data plus consumables.

My average for 1 year was 3.7 GB so 5 GB is enough. Walang patayan ng 3G yan. Now, since I got mobile data for my other phone and since nagpapatay na ko ng 3G sa bahay, I downgraded even further to plan 999 (3GB, unli call and text) tapos 350 a month yung rebate so 650/month lang.

Then may promo ngayon 499 lang yung 3GB and unli so maybe I'll avail that.

Yep ang kinaiba lang talaga is now i need to turn it off.

Pero sa usage hindi naman ako totally deprived. Same as before, pero again pag talagang alam ko na hindi gagamitin off muna like before going to sleep.

To be exact 10 days pa lang ako since retention, nakaka 2.3GB na ako, in 30 days hindi ko din siguro maconsume yung 15GB na cap (Sana) hehe
