Hi, I'm new to XDA so please forgive my noobyness. I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy SIII (white, unlocked) here in Singapore. Since then, I've installed the latest stock roms, then tried out aosp custom roms, and finally settled with aokp after flashing CM9.
My problem is that whenever I receive a call and answer it, my signal suddenly disappears (no signal bars with a tiny "x" mark). Whenever I make a call, I dont hear the ringing tone. I cannot hear the person im calling or calling me, and I learned that the same is true for the other end. After we end the call (which never really happened), the signal goes back to full bars, which is my true signal strength (i have excellent signal almost all the time).
I can also send messages without any problems and connect with my data plan. It's just the calls. Not sure when it started. Probably last time I flashed an original stock rom, or started using custom roms. Please help, its killing me slowly.
Thanks
Cm9 for your phone is still under development of I'm not wrong.. Hence there can be bugs in it and that's the reason you are facing signal drop issue..
Report this in your forum so that it will be rectified.
However, flash a stock ROM and see if it is a faulty software or fault in your phone..

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, XDA keeps telling me that I'm still new here (less than 10 posts) so I can only post in the general and Q&A forums, and not the development forums. And yes, I'm currently trying to clean up and install the latest stock rom. I'll report back on the progress. Any good soul out there who can notify the AOKP guys about this will receive a cookie.

you can actually ask in the QnA thread itself.. But all on galaxy s3 forum itself.. If you ask in general QnA forum you will not be getting complete help..
I really want to help u.. But since i don't own a s3, i don't know much of your device.. Still we both are Samsung family..

Okay..
I guess there is problem in your hardware.. Do one thing, flash the latest firmware available for your region and take it to your Samsung service center.. They will rectify the issue..
NOTE: before going to service center make sure that you have reset your flash counter using triangle away software.. Or else your phone warranty will be void..

Hey guys need help desperately, i tried almost all roms such as XXKPE, XXKPH,XXKPQ,XXKP7,XWKPG, JPKP5, JPKPE but all of them fail to stabilize on my Galaxy SL i9003. Tried factory resetting, wiping dalvik cache after each installation. I even tried CWM and now I am at Cranium 3.0. They were all stable on the first day but the next day in the morning, my phone was either turned off or restarting itself. When I turn it on again, all my contacts were gone, and i have to select language again like it went on soft reset(i called it soft reset because it resets only my initial set ups like locker screen, vibration intensity of haptic feed back, ringing tone, notification tone, all animations but all programs and login details are still there). Is there anything else that i can do to my phone?
Can u tell me purose behind posting this thread in development section...?
First of all,please don't post in development section
For your problem try installing kpe first and try pitting it in Odin with latona. Pit

Don't treat newbie like that. Give them link and say thank you to them because without newbie there is no Pro !
Hi,
the problem that you describe is like mine Acer Liquid, follow this step and say if persist
Wipe Data, Cache
Flash XXKPE with repartition and correctly
Remove Battery from phone for 1 hours
insert battery into device
Download Mode
Flash XXKPQ
Without flashing any kernel or like
if persist, i think its not problem SoftWare but its hardware problem, go to Samsung Assistence

I understand that ur suggestion & even ur suggestion is really good. Senior member have implemented this stratagy many times. But main problem is still that new people dont take effort read some rules. There are many useful sticky thread especially for new people but they want everything readymade.
1)Reading threads wont solve his problem.His is unique,and he posted in deperation.But remember,try not to post these things in dev section!
2)And the answer to your question-Go to service centre.NOW!
Not a dev discussion. If you are tired, please make a stable rom for yourself.

If it's not under warranty anymore, you could try flashing a custom ROM. I don't believe you will look back!

in response to your inquiry, i cant help. AOKP has been the only reliable CM10 rom for data for me. No idea why, but thats just how its been behaving for me.
if youre AOKP build is before a certain date you should try a newer one. an RIL fix was built in recently for this issue.
I just reboot and 4g comes back full bars. Happened like twice only though. Love aokp!

Hey guyz, I have been on stock GB 2.3.5(India) for the last year. Been reluctant to switch to ICS, as people have mentioned gaming issues. I searched but couldn't find a single post that points out the improvements in ICS over GB in Galaxy R. Is it worth switching to ICS? Sorry if I sound dumb, but I don't know much about this. I see that we have CM10 but I'm new to this and not yet ready for it as I'm worried about warranty and stability. It would be really helpful if someone would be kind enough to point out the improvements in ICS n is gaming really laggy? What other issues are there compared to GB? Sorry for being too jumpy and anxoius.
Yes gaming is laggy. On the other hand, scrolling has improved manifold in ICS, many features of ICS like
Inbuilt data usage
New settings menu
Last but not the least, access to apps compatible with ICS!
All this can be experienced, in case u plan to upgrade

Have anyone tried Official Indian ICS??
I have a very basic question.
The ICS (India) OTA upgrade is 240mb while the one to be flashed via Odin is 617 mb. Why this discrepancy?
Will there be any kind of difference between the two with regards to phone performance?

The OTA update just has the difference between the previous and new version of software and is compressed. Whereas Odin tar contains the whole package of software. Also, Odin tar (approx 600MB) when compressed, comes down in size (Approx 300MB).

Been testing indian ics for past few days, but the battery life is really bad. Anyways thanx for ur inputs. From some posts I've seen that the polish ICS is the best so far, I mean fewer game lags were reported. Is this true? Can someone confirm? I may switch to it if thats the case, until we have a stable CM.
How does one check if there is the emmc bug in the OTA ICS India update? Is there a simple way of checking for the same?

Wipe the Data in CWM and restart it, if your mobile is working fine then there is no eMMC bug else you are effected and you have successfully bricked your mobile (Simple way to check the eMMC bug )......
ok jokes apart Samsung I9103 Kernel source it self is having this bug so all the Stock kernel's will have it....

Well i meant simple way without bricking ofcourse! I have had signal disconnections in all ICS ROMs (custom & stock). The OTA update is working fine, no signal disconnections till now.

Weird. Ive never faced any problem.with any of the roms. (Stock or Custom) except on power up
Tried XWLP2, XXLQ9, ZSLPD, CAMP ROM, PAC ROM, BB ROM 2.1, CM10
No such problem.
And on the GB INDIAN version...2 visits per week to the SSC from DAY TWO. I started hating galaxy R. But then the Company Owned SSC guys made my life easier and repaired and tested my phone for three days and put some other GB (as they told me) ^_^
I love my Royale now :')
Buddy bdw i would recommend you to get your network cable replaced/checked for once. These network disconnections can mean the hardware being faulty. (at times) (scary)
Has happened to me once on day two of buying galaxy R.
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda app-developers app
Well when i ment signal disconnections, it is not about data internet but about the network for calls.
I had described the problem 'as i can see' in the thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31787563
Also see the "post issues in ICS" thread under General section where I am testing a solution for this as suggested by Vikesh and MJ Vikram.
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda premium
Buddy this is exactly what was happening to me.
The network came and vanished like anything.
The clock (being set by the network's time) used to run to the current time on receiving network.
The SSC guys changed my network cord for this problem right in front of me. (It is a blue wire in our phone)
Since then my signals have nsver gone 0. Theyre always somewhere between -60 to -89 dbm.
I was just suggesting that it might be a hardware issue.
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda app-developers app
Buddy I never thought it could be a hardware issue since i never had this even once either on GB stock rom or the NeoRom v3 which i used for nearly year. While I have always had it on stock ICS or Mazel 2 with ardatdat kernal v4.1 and above. There are others too who have had this and named it the 'call bug'. I am now testing with v4.0.
Unless....its a hardware issue unmasked by the said kernal. Lets see.

Hey Guys,
I rooted my phone last night, tested out CM10, and then restored my original stock backup just so I could have everything fully functioning for today. As of now, I am still rooted with CWM touch as my recovery. I am not getting cell service. I have done a battery pull and gone in and out of airplane mode. But still no luck. One thing, when I loaded CM10 stable, this "Activating" screen came up on first boot, and would'nt go away, so I did a battery pull, and just restored. I hope that didn't reprovision my phone and do something stupid. Any help would be appreciated. If not, I am about to go full stock restore, and call Verizon crying (from a working phone.)
Update* - I am getting random incoming text messages. But I can't respond or make outgoing calls. Also, in phone info, I have an IMEI # (or whatever), but it shows mobile data as disconnected (proabbly b\c I am on wifi).
P.S - Thread search tools are not available. So don't yell at me.
The search never works for me. Give this read. I don't rum CM or know if this will even help your situation.

Thank you so much!! Step two worked for me perfectly. No more flashing nightlies. Ever.
Note* - I actually flashed 10.1 first, you know, because it makes perfect sense to flash an unstable build BEFORE testing your phone with a stable one (idiot move on my part). I then flashed stable 10.0, but it was too late. This is my first sim card phone, all my android devices over the past 5 years have been on sprint, and have been HTC. Steep learning curve on my part. But now I know. Thank you guys for you quick help.
There's a lot to learn, glag it works.
Just make sure you back up your imei and never flash a rom that's not made for the Verizon gs3.

Easiest to flash Synergy and it will make a flashable IEMI backup on initial flash.
