[Q] data stops working

I seem to be having a problem where my data connection stops working and I need to reboot the phone in order for it to start working again. I can still make calls and send sms but if I try to access the market on go on the internet for example, it doesn't work (even if I try wireless) I've tried different roms, different modems and the problem keeps coming back. Does this happen to anybody else? Does anybody know of a fix for this? It's as if the phone goes into a sleep mode and then won't fully wake up.

Have you tried an odin? Different sim? I think you did everything else all good.

I've done odin, but have not done the sim. You really think the sim would do this?

Sim card will do it.

Thank you. Unfortunately, the xda app doesn't have a thanks button (it should). But now that I'm on here, everybody gets a thanks. The "people" got thanked twice because he complained.
thanks again for the help. As soon as I get a chance I'm passing by an ATT store to replace the sim, this is really annoying

Anyone know a solution for this?

I can't seem to get any service from my carrier. The phone can get reception/signal, it's just the phone displays No Service from the pull down notifications. And when I go into mobile settings and try to search for a network or anything, It says "Error while searching for networks." Is this the antenna problem? Would I have to open up the phone and adjust something? btw does anyone know where the antenna is located at?

Well, this was happening when I was on the stock os. When I bought this it seem to got connection and then suddenly it stopped getting connection. I'm currently on Glorious Overdose V2.

Sounds like a hardware defect or Sim card issue.

I unlocked the sidekick, tried a ATT simcard got good reception like Tmobile, but still no service. Do you know where the antenna is in the sidekick?

Its probally an antena prob because surprisingly I droped my old samsung gravity smart in water by accident and my first thought was to take the battery out and let it dry,that succeeded on letting me turn it on fully but I had no reception what so ever which is odd but this sounds off topic a lil but I ended up bricking it o.o normaly t-mobile themselfs sometimes making horrible phones don't get me wrong their good but most of them are 2.2 froyo ._.

[Problem] Infuse Sound Problem

Hi..! I'm a noob. I have a problem with this phone, when I make a call, I can't hear with the earpiece nor speaker the person who I called, neither that person can hear me, but the speaker works with musics, videos, etc. and the mic works with google voice. Also when I record a video the sound is very noisy.
I hope a solution asap. Thanks

Can you include more details?
Do you have a rom or are you rooted with any mods?
Were you playing with and settings in the phone section?
Have you called anyone a second time?
In some roms there is a bug that there won't be sound on the first call after flash.

The problem happened after the phone bricked when I was trying to update to GB with samsung kies, and I returned to stock with the rom in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27286083#post27286083).
I tried to make others calls and nothing happened.

Went to the link you provided but it does not go to a specific rom, What rom are you currently using?

I'm using a stock GB.

ok, this will take a little time but always works for myself and many others. Post 1 will get you back in business and post 2 will get your root access back. All credit to qkster. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081

ok. I'll try later and I'll post the results.

I did it and I still have the problem :s
Another Solution..?

The only other thing I can suggest is make sure your APN settings for your carrier are correct. Other than that be patient - there are many people with far more talent than me who will be dropping in to read your post. When they give you a solution that works, let them know and hit their thanks meter. All the best.

nobody can help me?!

Hardware problem?

I don't know, I tried changing the earpiece and the problem continues

Send it in for a replacement

No voice or text...

So my GS3 on Verizon is rooted running latest clean rom. I flew to Chicago and all of a sudden, i cant make or receive calls, I can receive text but can't send, and i have fast 4G data... What's the deal? It's been a day I thought maybe it was confused with towers. I called Verizon yesterday and it was no help at all. Right now I'm stuck using Google voice for texting and Skype for calling. Any help would be great!

Well, Skype no longer works for free... Now I have no calling ability... Any ideas?

You can try flashing back to stock using section 5 in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709. After that if your phone still won't connect you can try putting in this dialer code:*2767*3855#
This will of course totally wipe your phone and everything on it, but should restore service.

Isn't that only if the IMEI is removed? I still have hat and have service... I just don't want to try all that if it's unnecessary
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Those directions won't work if your IMEI was lost. There is a different thread for that in the development section. The directions I gave should restore your service. You could try different fixes like flashing a different modem in recovery, but it sounds like it's not a modem issue since you have data. You could try doing a factory reset, clearing cache and dalvik and reflashing the ROM in recovery first. If you have any nandroid backups where you had service you could try restoring to a backup.

Alright, I looked over the instructions and decided to just try re flashing modem... It worked! Thanks for the jump start in the thought process... It was tough without a phone on vacation

Glad I could help a little. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas! So... Back to not working... Weird that it's so intermittent... Any other ideas?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

So should I try the step 5? Will it be difficult to re root? I really don't understand this issue... I mean it literally worked to make a phone call and text, then it did not work.... Any quick fix would be greatly appreciated!!

Could this be a bad sim?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Could be a bad sim. It won't be difficult to reroot at all. That guide I linked to has instructions. I would go ahead and try flashing back to complete stock using section 5 and using the dialer code I gave above if it isn't fixed right away when you flash. If that doesn't fix it, then it probably is a bad sim.

Odined back to stock and made 2 phone calls... Working on rerooting, damn thing tried to update! I went back to ICS for ease of reroot. Thanks for the help!!

Wow! And we're back to not working this morning... did the re provisioning, still not working! Call Verizon, they try to repeat the troubleshooting... Tell me it can't be a bad sim card and that maybe it's the network... I'M IN CHICAGO! I think there'd be more complaints.... Anyways, do you think I could go to a store and get them to trade me a SIM card?? Oddly enough, my lockscreen says "roaming" even after all this provisioning...

People have gotten newer sim cards for much more trivial problems than yours, you should be able to get one. I wouldn't really know much else to do besides just getting a replacement phone.

Well, just an update... Got a new sim card, still didn't work. They're sending me a replacement phone
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Well that should finally fix it. These phones seem to have a mind of their own with each one having its own little quirks. I guess it must be the different hardware types or manufacturers. Who knows. Hope the next one serves you better.

Not sending or receiving SMS/MMS and data

I've had a problem with my skyrocket for quite some time now. No matter which radio, ROM, or kernel I use the data will be hit and miss and so won't phone calls and messaging. I've already had one skyrocket replaced because of this issue and even got a replacement SIM card to no avail. I get full bars of H+ service. I've tried adding different APNs as well. The AT&T store is obviously stumped (they are basically worthless) and phone support is no better. I was wondering if anyone knew of this problem and what caused it or a way to fix it.

To be real I doubt I your got a dud phone 2x I would try to get ur carrier to change it to something else... because all those symptons point to a bad antenna on a phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I will take it to them and try to get a replacement or a different phone. I got my first one within the 30 day return period but I have had my current phone for about two months. I also forgot to mention that if I throw it against the wall or smack it against my hand, the message will usually go through. Now, I don't usually go throwing my electronics around haha. I only did this after it started happening and that always seemed to make it work.

I got really tired of slamming mine against the wall. I started taking a screenshot of my text and then emailing it....its all good now.
