Hi there,
Since I bought GS+ few weeks ago with 2.3.3. (xx??? rom) in Latvia, I have tried several ROMs and always rooted after that from recovery mode by flashing Root.zip.
There was a problem with my def rom, about 80% of sms failed on first send, so i gave it a try for other roms.
Right now I am using rooted XXKP4 (2.3.4.) as I found it the most stable for me - no WiFi issues, but every 2nd sms still fails.
So far I tried asian SZKP6 (2.3.6), european XXKPJ (2.3.5.), XXKPG (2.3.5.), XXKPS (2.3.?). Always the same - they work fine, no sms problem on any of them above 2.3.5 (including), but always there are problems with WiFi - it drops signal and changes connection to 3G/2G. Sometimes it drops every 5-6 minutes, sometimes it drops once in a half hour.
I always wiped data before flashing and did factory reset after flashing with Odin, after that I always root it with mentioned method and restore all my apps/system data with Titanium Backup PRO.
Could you guys help me find out what is the problem?
I want to get fully working 2.3.5 or 2.3.6, without any issues, but right now I am stock with 2.3.4 because I prefer push resend my messages better than Skype video call dropouts because of auto changing internet connection type.
Thanks in advance.
the only thing i can say is had the same issues with wifi dropping and first sms of the day would faili tried all the roms including the one im using now and they all had the wifi faults UNTIL i did a full factory default and erased disk, now im using the XXKPS 2.3.6 and it works fine.
So make sure you do a fresh start after flashing your Rom.

Factory reset after flashing with this code: : *2767*3855#
Backup first your internal sdcard because the reset will erase it.
I'm also on 2.3.6 KPS and think I have no wifi drops.
And to think I mean, I have not noticed.

Just a question - if I backup my internal sdcard before flashing and full reset with code listed above in previous reply, can I restore (copy from PC) all my files after everything is done?

The same...
Tried two roms (2.3.6 and 2.3.5) which works fine for lot of people here in xda-devs.
Factory reset before, and another reset after flashing, but the same situation. Everything works fine except WiFi - when I open WiFi settings, it shows refresh (search) every 5 seconds and drops after some minutes.
I'm on KPS and havent noticed any wifi drop.
How often does it drop? Does the wifi icon disappear when it drops and reappears when it connects?
i must of just got lucky, all i did after flashing to XXKPS was a complete reboot to factory defaults from settings/privacy/factory data reset and wiped SDcard aswell when asked, i then installed all settings and apps from scratch i didnt use any previous backups.
like i said before i installed XXKPS and got wifi drop outs but this is the rom im using now and the wifi is fine now, the only thing i did diffrently was what i wrote above.

Jep, this is how it happens - WiFi icon disappears and if connection is active, it drops (interupts d/load, skypoe, etc)
BackDaws - i can notice it before rooting and restoring my apps/sets. Last time I tried xxkps, it dropped for first time before I managed to copy root files to my sdcard, so this is not about restoring.
then just keep flashing it until you get the wifi working, im scared to flash to anything else now as that wifi bug was getting on my nerves.
are you using a Belkin Router by anychance ? ive read that changing the DHCP lease to 2 days instead of forever resolves this problem.

Ok at random times, my phone will be showing full service...all 5 bars...or sometimes even just 3 bars....but showing it has service. Yet I have no internet and cant make phone calls or receive phone calls.
If I reboot the phone or turn airplane mode on and back off...everything will start working again....but this only last for a little while.....
I first noticed it after trying out LeedDroid, so I restored cleardroid and the problem was still there, I've since switched to the Ace Inspire rom by gtg....and tried using both the 26.06.06.30 radio and the 26.09.04.11 radio and there matching RIL. Same problem on both. When its working data speeds are great...best I've seen....but the problem is, its not always working.
EDIT: So I ended up formatting my SD card and starting all over with attn1's rooted stock rom, then flashed ClearDroids rom and so far so good, no problems.....my data speeds are back down to about 2.5, and I'm definitely missing the 4 to 5 I was seeing on some of the GB roms...
A little scared to flash anything else, so does anyone have any ideas on what might have happened, or had any experience with there phone not connecting even though it says there is service?
Any thoughts????
Did you do a full erase, wipe cache, dalvik prior to flashing the ROM?
My guess would be something to do w/ the latter radio flashing. I lost good data speeds due to radio flashing and had to rerun the hack kit on.the rom I was usin to get them back.
Try.flashing just.the rom you want without the ril and see what happens. If I flash the ril, it breaks GPS on mine.

Yeah I always do a full erase, cache and dalvik before all my roms, I dont have that much stuff on my phone in the first place, so I dont mind starting from scratch each time.

Thats good to know....maybe the RIL flashing is what did it...its just odd that when I restored my nandroid back up of ClearDroid...the problem was still there, even tried flashing the Radio 3 times in row.... one minute I would be getting 4mb down and 1.8 up....then 2 minutes later...no data, no phone calls...yet full 5 bars of service....then if I waited longer...it might start working again...and so on.

Similar issue here on a STOCK rom. Looking at H+ with 3 bars and while the phone app works, I have absolutely no internet access.

There us something going on with flashing some of the desire hd roms and then the inspire roms. I lost gps under leedroid and after restoring a backup some thing stayed and was still causing the issues, it continued after flashing numerous roms. I had to redo the hack kit and start from scratch to fix it. I bet that you are having something of that sort going on. I was scared to flash anything after I got it set up but now I stick to either aosp builds or roms by US devs and haven't had any issues. Also on a side note, I have heard some people saying that gps on the inspire only works with a clear view if the sky, and mine will lock inside to 10 m in under 15 seconds. I think you just need the right rom.

I'm fairly new to ROMs (this is my second). I have followed the instructions and successfully installed the ROM, modem, and update.
2 questions:
1) Wifi does not work (will not turn on). I had wifi problems on my last ROM. I have reinstalled this ROM numerous times today thinking something must have failed since wifi does not work. This seems to be unique to me since I can't find anything in the thread regarding wifi problems. Any suggestions?
I've gone so far as to use darkside superwipe as suggested in a different thread. Still can't get wifi to turn on (just sits with "Turning Wi-Fi on..." message on screen). Never errors out, just stays like that.
2) ROM Manager: Fix permissions fails. I get the following error when I select fix permissions: "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" Any suggestions?
Thanks so much for the help!
You should post your question in the ROM thread. The developer (seanscreamz) or one of the other testers will see it and be able to address your problem and help you out.
I can't post in the Dev section yet. 6 more posts and I will ask there.
starting over...
Ok, I figured I might as well make sure that my wifi woes are not a hardware issue. I've reverted back to stock Skyrocket OS to make sure wifi is available and working in stock form.
Following this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348, I reverted to stock and I can confirm that wifi works in stock form.
I've also reformatted my sd card in case there is any chance a corruption on it would cause my problems.
Now going to reinstall SkyICS...

Are you on CWM touch?
have you went into the busybox app and clicked install?
wifi broken again
I have followed these instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 to regain root. After getting root, I installed ROM Manager and selected "Fix Permissions". On reboot, I lost the ability to connect via wifi.
Did I miss a step?

crazyD: digging your avatar. I'm currently trying to decide between a G26 and XD9sc...
btw, installed and ran busybox. not sure what it did for me. I also updated ROM manager to latest. Accidentally initiated a backup from ROM manager. Will see if wifi is back after that has completed.
Edit: wifi still errors, won't connect. I'm not clear what steps I may have missed or screwed up between being stock to rooted. I will revert back to stock again and try again...
Are you running juice defender? Its giving me problems with my wifi connection!

I'm not running Juice Defender. At this point, I'm trying to revert back to stock form again with working wifi.
Edit: ok, reverted back to stock by doing the following
1) reboot into CWM recovery
2) factory reset x3
3) clear cache x3
4) format system x3
5) clear dalvik x3
6) format emmc x3
7) restart and pull battery
8) boot into download mode
9) push stock tar (k0kane) via Odin3 v1.85
I now have wifi again!
So now I get to try to get back to SU and CWM without losing wifi...wish me luck.
still have wifi!
OK, rooted and CWM installed. I still have wifi, which is good. I'm afraid to select 'Fix Permissions' for fear that will break my wifi.
I'm going to install Sky ICS now and see what happens.
sky ics and wifi!
OK, It took a few attempts, but I now have SKY ICS installed and wifi is still working.
I've installed the base ROM and the modem...not the updated yet. My download speeds are terrible, but at least I have wifi. I think the data speeds get better on the update.
Sean's instructions say to let the phone "cache and settle". I have no idea what that means...so will try to wait 10 minutes or so before installing the update.

My uneducated guess with the data speeds is the modem for UCLE2. I haven't had the chance to go to LTE on SKYICS yet, but data is definitely slower on "4g" networks.

quick update
Here is a quick update:
I spent some time redownloading all my apps and in general setting up the phone. I then ran the SKY-ICS update. Everything seemed to be working great.
As an added bonus, the email app in SKY-ICS syncs with my employer's exchange server! Which is so awesome. The stock ROM, and the last gingerbread ROM I had on the Skyrocket would not connect to our exchange server. I was very pleasantly surprised by that functionality.
I then lost wifi again. Wifi seems to be unpredictable and I'm not sure if it is hardware or software related. I again have wifi this morning, but didn't for the last two days. Also, my phone won't restart, it appears to get stuck in a powerdown state.The haptic buttons stay lit, but the screen is blank. I have to pull the battery to get it to restart.
But overall, I'm very happy with the performance and functionality of SKY-ICS. I will do some digging on the restart problem.
It started I think after I put the 1st JB TW ROM on my phone (eg Incubus). Since then, every time I try out any AOSP/AOKP based ROM I lose WiFi.
Wipe and format everything (data, cache, dalvik). Install AOSP/AOKP ROM, do the initial setup, get WiFi working and then after 1st reboot -> no WiFi. I tried many ROMs based on the above platform. Same thing.
If I toggle the wifi on/off/on some times I get the wifi back but just until the next reboot. Sometimes when I try to toggle the wifi screen freezes.
I odined back to stock. Unrooted and locked. I rooted and unlocked and right away I reinstalled a CM10. Same problem.
When that happens there is no wifi network found and scan finds nothing (i have many netorks around me). It is like the wifi service is not present.
I tried different kernels and different radios. No go.
All the TW stock ROMs (ICS or JB) work fine.
Any idea? Did you hear about this anywhere?
Thanks for your help.

Try wiping System before flashing AOKP as well. Wipe them a few times just to be sure. Im thinking that possibly recovery doesnt always wipe like it should but im not sure.
I did it.I tried too many times not to get it right at least 1 time.

I tried the last CM10 from Sep the 23 rd.I don't know which version is that.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Well, I have news. Problem not solved but something new came up.
I had a nand of an official cm10 from Sep the 9th. I recovered and voila the wifi works perfect. More than that. I dirty flashed the nightlie from today and everything works fine
I then wiped and format again everything and flashed the CM10 from today. WiFi lost again after 1-3 reboots.
By the way if I reboot after losing wifi next time I get a screen with activating which stays there forever. Also my phone no and MIN are gone.
I recovered them but the wifi is still gone.
I live in Ca so I'm in roaming if this is of some importancce.
Can somebody mimic this? Fresh install of CM10 official and then reboot.
It does the same for me for any AOSP AOKP JB based.
I have a netgear router that provides wifi service on 2.4 and 5 Ghz on both bands 20 and 40 Mhz. The SSIDs have different names.
I specified already that when that happen I cannot see any other wifi around me and there are many.
I was running the latest stable version of CM10.1 on my GS3 and all was going well until someone sent me a text message and I tried to respond. I was greeted with the error of message not sent. I attempted to text someone else to have the same error. Attempting to call someone will just hang and eventually say call failed.
I thought it was a radio issue so attempted to flash different modems but had the same result. So I restored my previous rom Beans 11 that was working after wiping and the same issue. Data works perfect, but voice and text does not. I searched and odin'd back to stock VRLG1 and entered *2767*3855# in hopes of that fixing the problem, again no voice/text.
Any suggestions further help? I don't know what else to try!
*CM10.1 was working fine, and then calls/texting stopped but data continued to work without trouble.
*IMEI seems to be intact
*Flashed backup of known working rom and issue still persists
*Flashed back to VRLG1 and attempted *2767*3855# as per another post to no avail and this is where I sit.
Same thing. Installed jellybeans 12 now I can't call or text. Prior text was hit and miss some days....restored stock rooted image flashed other Roms....no help. Dialed the ** number....so screwed. Ayneegry should have backed up my few several times. No idea what to do.

When you say "Data" do you mean wifi or 3g/4g? If you have no phone/text/3g/4g then it's probably your imei. Check under phone settings, see if it's gone. If it's gone you gotta restore, do a search.
If you have 3g/4g then I don't know what the problem is. Sorry, just trying to help
Odin back to ICS and reprovision your phone by going into the dialer and typing *2767*3855#
rgrossie - data as in 3G/4G works no problem... phone showed IMEI still there but followed a thread to restore it anyway to make sure that wasn't the issue...

I hear ya, if I can't figure out what's up, I'll end up having to go back to verizon and see what I can do... It was out of the blue, everything was working and then suddenly it just stopped. Happened on a flash that was a little over a day old, so who knows.
Check Mobile network
I have thiss problem happen occasionally when I flash custom roms. Look under your mobile networks, see if either CDMA/SIM is checked or NV. If NV is checked switch to CDMA/SIM and then reboot. That seems to fix that problem most of the time.
Edit: After some tests found out this doesn't always stick, but I did find out that after switching from NV to CDMA/SIM turn on airplane mode so the radios are tunred off, wait a few moments, then turn airplane mode off. That worked more consistently than restarting it.
