Ok so i'm having an issue, I use my phone to tether as my main internet connection. Before with my x2 i was able to turn off CDMA and use EVDO only. So text wouldn't cut off my tethering date. On this phone i'm in EVDO only mode but i still get text messages :/
I dont think i can get phone calls in evdo only but the text still mess up the internet. This is weird
This phone does data and you can use the phone at the same time. Not sure about it while tethering, shouldn't be a difference though.

I was under the impression that this feature only works while on 4g is that not the case?

Always works. Its a qualcomm SoC thing. Rezound and thunderbolt could as well. Kind of silly to jump to conclusions like that without actually seeing if it hurts anything. I've answered phone calls while playing black light online.

Its not really silly, with the x2 if you got a text or a phone call you lost internet. Everything i read said it was because of the verizon network. so i figured it was every phone. Just what i read and was told by people on here and verizon.
New to Verizon.. if I understand correctly you're saying this phone can do voice and data? Even on 3g ?
I thought Verizon's network couldn't do that. If the previous statement is correct then can we use the international dialers that have video built into them ?

I thought the same thing, But i guess that was silly of me to think....... lol Really though idk what samsung did with this phone but on 3g you can do data and voice at the same time. i'm kinda surprised. I know nothing about international dialers
Like I said, its a qualcomm SoC (system on chip) thing. What I'm saying is silly is that you already claimed the txt messages hurt your tethering.

Those of us who started with the thunderbolt and then rezound have had this feature. I love it as i used to have att which was this way.

I also came from ATT so this is a nice surprise for me.
as for the dialers, I know there are dialer apps out there (which generally come from non US phones) that have video calling features built into them, is there anyone watching this thread who could tell me if it would be possible to get one and make use of it? and would it require root to replace the dialer app? (I'm guessing it would)
thanks

With other phones I had, there were scripts to wipe the eds/radio/GPS partitions in between roms and it made sure that you would not have data problems and it kept everything fast. Has anyone or could anyone make us one?

OMG go figure. Literally hours after posting this my data is now busted. Wifi works mobile only works intermittently. With other phones this was almost ALWAYS fixed by wiping the aforementioned partitions. Is everyone just ignoring me or do we have so little dev left that no one in the know has seen the OP?

ROMs for this device don't flash the radio. If you zeroed out the radio you F'd up your phone something good. Nobody has figured out how to reflash the radio on this device. Also, we never touch EFS. That is a big no-no and another way to F'up your phone. Sounds like you nuked it something good.

I have the same thing, where it is not showing my phone number in the about phone. I also have to reset the radio at-least once a day to get data back. (Go to airplane mode and back) The cell works fine though... Weird, never had this problem with original GB rom. There must be another cache partition that needs clearing?
that, I have no idea but my girl had data problem for 2wks now and no rep seemed to know the answer.. I had 3 replacement phones for her and nothing, 2 new sim cards nothing.. My last option of my own was to change number, and guess what.. It works now. By the way, problem was data would stop, browser would redirect me to web2go and say I have no data plan and 1.99 charge to continue. just a reboot would fix it but its a hassle. Well, changing numbers helped.. Something deffinetly went wrong with that other line or something.

I recall someone posting that these are a result of the NS4G mishandling emergency alert notifications through that system the government partnered with US carriers to implement. Unfortunately, I have a GSM NS, so I didn't pay much attention to whether there was a fix.

It's just an error with Sprint's network, normally you wouldn't even see them but they show up on custom ROMs.
everything I've seen about these go back to it being an issue with the emergency broadcast system, it something to that effect. they are not rom related, & I've seen reports of them on several different phones, not just the ns4g.

Okay, so my phone had been connecting to data and then just dropping within a minute and try to reconnect and so on, so I sent it into Samsung. It turns out, all they did was take the update that Samsung had put out while they had my phone and said it was fixed. It may have seemed fixed to them, but it is definitely not. It seems as though it only happens when I'm in a 3G only area which is where I live so I basically cannot use my data at all. I know it works when I leave where I live because I went to Los Angeles last month and my 4G and my 3G were working fine. I just don't understand it. I know it's not because my area has bad 3G coverage cause it's fine. I'm just so flustered. Any help?

Looks like tower problem to me since it works fine in town.
Flash every modem available to see if you can find one that works with your 3G tower. Have seen older radios that worked better with 3G due to the towers being old tech. Since the phone and radios are new may not be able to find radio that works consistently. The 4G will work with with any 4G tower. If not able to get 3G contact Verizon and put in a ticket on your local tower. Hope this makes sense.

All radios are on Rootzwiki. If radios don't work call them back. Nothing wrong with phone if works in town although also depends how far you are from tower. If any Verizon phone works you have a case for upgrade of tower or phone. If just at home may give you extender. Do not let them charge you for it.

This device is solid on 4g and when in a 3g only area...soon as you get to a area where the data switches between 4g/3g/1x it becomes flaky at best no doubt. Beans rom seems to have the most stable data connection whem Im on the outskirts of a solid 4g signal...it is a device issue that should be fixed with a software update at some point. The problem is its easier for verizon to release a device with bugs, then to spend the extra time and cash to R&D and fix them before release date. I know it does not make sense, but think about it from there end. Lets say VZW has a device thats 90% bug free, so they release it to start locking people in on new contracts and rake in the money hoping folks dont complain about minor issues. If folks do comlain, well then vzw will run you thru the mill and send you a refurb, or open a claim ticket...by then after enough time has elapsed and no issue is fixed, they most likely will discontinue the device andoffer you a different one, passing the customer on to a whole new set of problems. Welcome to America, where its a dog eat dog world and we are all wearing milkbone undies.

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.

Lame man. My issues were terrible until I switched to synergy. I'm on the he modem now but have had luck with lg1 as well. HD was **** on my phone.
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.

I believe eventually LTE will be used to transmit calls over data but as of now, No, I don't think so.
I think calls and text are still over Cellular (1x), thats why MMS still go slow I think, but they're working on VoIP. I think it's a matter of time.
Thank you for the responses, appreciate it The more I learn about this phone stuff the better.
