Same here, just started today and if that weren't enough, for me anyway, The International Data Triangle popped on and I have no voice coverage. I flashed back to stock and got the voice back but the data drops in and out. I wondered if there is some sort of outage. Called in and NADA that they are aware of.
Weird.. Might have to send this one back. This will be the second time. PRL and Profile Update fails.
In Minneapolis/St. Paul Btw.
That's my same situation everything exactly its wrks better wen u unroot but rooted sux signal wise I thought I was the only one having this issue I wonder is it just our phones or did da update have sumthn 2 do with it?

Not sure. When I called Sprint, they checked the tower strength, Known issues in the area and found nothing. So they want me to stop into a store and have them look at it. I put the standard recovery back on and locked it back up. Wish me luck.

Maybe you were watching the local action at Jennifer's and something in your pocket activated the PRL by mistake? Wink wink.
what radio are you running? try flashing ke5
Yeah, on ke5. They did manage to fix it at the store by erasing some network stuff and reinstalling the ota latest update with their computer. Then they said blah blah blah. I told them thanks a bunch. We will see.

OK so I need some help . . . . . after flashing a new ROM/kernel, I noticed that my network service was insanely poor. I thought it had to do with the new ROM but now after I have tried every which way of flashing and reflashing, I still have the issue. I used Speedtest to see what kind of DL speeds I was getting and I am usually in double digit kbps, 114kbps is my top. My wifes Acclaim regularly gets 600+ to the same server. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I may have screwed up or how I can go about fixing it? Everything works fine in WiFi btw.
Thanks in advance.
Fixed: Somehow I managed to get knocked off my 3G service. Called USCC tech support and they were able to turn it back on for me.

Try updating your prl. Dial *228 when at home and not roaming. Follow the prompts and wait for it to update. Should help and really can't hurt.

I called 911 and it didn't work. The 911 operator didn't have any ideas either.
Well it's starting to look like I should start think about buying a new phone. I have tried everything within my ability and nothing. In a last ditch effort, where could I find a flashable radio that I could use just to make sure it is installed correctly?

Try going back to 2.1 and see how the data is. I somehow got a new prl when I flashed aosp and my girlfriends phone is on an earlier version. We both did the *228 and hers stays at 15108 mine stays at 15110. There is supposed to be a way to manually update our roll back prl. Idk wish I did

I did flash back to 2.1 and the data issues remain. The PRL on my phone and my wife's Acclaim are both 15110, but she gets 3G service and I don't. It also takes over a minute for my 1x service to load after turning off wifi. Also, If I force EVDO, I will get a "3G" banner at the top of the screen, but data does not work and the banner eventually goes away.
Additionally, is it normal to get a Verizon voice when you *228 while roaming? Because that is what I got when I was roaming yesterday. I have to believe that flashing Fascinate software has something to with it.
You could check the efs clear box in odin. I know it has something to do with service. I did that once in my vibrant by mistake. Are you dialing 911 in your home area? It needs to be in a uscc home area same with *228. The efs clear might break your phone worse so.......

Yes, which is why I said do it while NOT roaming. If you completed the *228 while roaming on Verizon you basically connected your phone to their network not USCC's.

I did the *228 at home while not roaming. When I got the Verizon thing while roaming I just hung up I never went through any kind of programming. This was well after things went awry anyways.
I believe this all started a few days ago when I tried flashing the ComaVolt kernel. I got a boot loop and had to do a battery pull. I then flashed dfgas's superclean port and I thought everything was working fine until I got out of wifi the next day and noticed my network service was aweful.
Go back to di14 and do the *228 and dial 911

Do you have a belief plan? If so flash it to stock with odin and take the phone in and tell them to give you a new one. Even if you don't have a belief plan I would flash it ti stock and take it in telling them it's defective. worth a shot. Sorry that nothing is working for you bud.

I do have a belief plan but I bought the phone on Ebay a few months back. I was just out for a bit and the banner at the top would go into "3G" but while it was like that I had no network connection. Somehow I pooched my 3G radio I guess. Maybe I'll call tech support and see if they can help. Everyone I have ever talked to over there has been really good so maybe it's worth a try.

I reset. I go 4g only. 2g only. It will work for a while and then just nothing.
Turning on wifi even when there is no wifi seems to help.
Anyone know a better method?

Your really gonna hate this. My simcard was sent to me may 7th .
It is suppose to be the newest type.
Yes when I do get signal the speed increase is noticeable.
But it did not help the drops. Even when it shows a signal. It won't keep it.
I hate having to go in and do airplane mode all the time so I can get a signal and post to xda.

When I'm blocking someone its on purpose and I use call master. If there is a problem with connectivity I can reset the radio layer or reset the telephony service. This might be an idea just to have the ability reset the radios at different levels in order to clarify the problem

I use a call blocking app like call master or root call blocker. It allows in the setting to reset the radios individually.

No its a monthly plan. I called up rogers tech support and he had me change the network mode to gsm only and he tried calling and it went through, then hspa and same thing with data on.. went to gsm/hspa/lte auto and with data on the call went through fine.. as soon as I got off the phone, I tried calling my number and calls stopped going.. (put it back to gsm only and it started working even with data on, but when its on LTE with data on is when it starts screwing up) does that mean when its connecting to an lte tower its messing up? Is that my phone's issue or the towers? Is there anything I can flash to the phone to see if the problem goes away.. already flashed stock radio but didnt help

any fix??? it just started happening like four days ago and never had this issue before.
This is a known issue, at least in Canada with Rogers. It has nothing to do with what rom or Kernel you are using.
It appears that Rogers is having intermittent issues with the LTE network. It comes from the handoff between LTE and 4g when a voice call is received. After you hang up, you are supposed to go back to LTE automatically. But with this glitch sometimes the phone will get stuck and as a result you get no texts and calls going straight to voicemail.
You could try creating a new APN node for 3g/4g only and using that to see if it solves your problem while Rogers is actually becoming aware of the issue and fixing it.

So, it's been more than a month now since I have not been able to get a solid 3G connection in my area where there is no 4G. Last time I asked no one was really able to help, so I thought I try again. If I turn on my data, it usually takes a while for it to connect and once it does, it stays connected for about 30 seconds to a minute. Sometimes it's longer, but it always drops eventually. Sometimes it has the 3G icon, but nothing happens still. It's a beezy to try and send or receive a picture message. The only time I ever use Internet now is if I have Wifi. I sent it into Samsung, got it back more than a week later and all they did was take the update the GS3 received while they had it. It seems as though if I'm in a 4G area, the data works fine, but other than that, it's almost nonexistent. Can anyone help me, please?

I don't know what to say bro. Is it just your area? How does your phone do on other areas? If it works in other areas then it's just bad service in your area? How does someone else's phone act around your house. You should compare it to another phone and see if that one loses data.

Have you tried any modem swaps? Comparing service on hour Samsung to say a Motorola or an iPhone will make you pull your hair out. I fell into it as well. My wife's iPhone wouldnt drop 3g and my old Motorola got great service in the same spot my s3 would drop signal/go to 1x.
Things really got ****ed up when I went to an area with 4g. Watching my phone, with 4 bars of 4g drop to 3g then to 1x, to no service at all for a few minutes then repeat the process over and over again made me RAGE!

Well, my issue isn't like that when I'm in a 4G area. That's why it doesn't make any sense. The service here is fine, my phone just doesn't like it. I've tried every modem out there so far, and none have helped.
