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.

Sorry for the highjack, Snoopy. Let's get your situation fixed.

All incoming calls going straight to voicemail

This started happening 3 days ago.. My gf had to call me 8 times last night before she got through to my phone.. I don't know wtf is causing this but i'm pretty sure its not the phone or ROM. Also at times incoming texts come in late.. My apn is set correctly.. Any help would be appreciated

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

How do I reset the radio? And I do not have anyone blocked or call forwarding enabled
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

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

Believe it or not removing the sim sometimes works as it registers/unregisters you from the network.

Just flashed stock radio and same issue.. Tried the Sim card removal twice last night too
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

edit----if nothing else helps try reflashing. If that doesn't work get new sim(no charge if you say it is defective ) make sure your reflash stock rom.
If that doesn't work, send in for trade under one year warrenty.

Thx but could it be a Rogers issue? Also is there a stock ROM that will get rid of clockworkrecovery?

are u in Canada or on rogers network? Did you flash an ATT from?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Yes im in canada on rogers network (rogers is only in canada) I flashed sky coke rom, before that was on quickwiz which i had no issues with

maybe that ROM had trouble with Rogers network. I would contact the developer and seek some sort of resolution

Went back to a rogers based rom and same ****... which leads me to believe it aint the ROM or the phone.. ****

Is it prepaid? I know sometimes prepaid have issues
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

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

Same issue here. Att user. Sky ics rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

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.

Last night alone it took 40 minutes for a text from my wife's phone to arrive. And that was only because I turned my phone on and wifi kicked on!

Thank you for your response. So they are aware of this issue? Also, what should the settings be for a new APN?

Girlfriends Exhibit suddenly lost data signal?

My girlfriend is out of town right now visiting a school and called me tonight saying her data has suddenly stopped working. She does not have the data icon in her notification bar at all.
I asked her to verify that it was not in airplane mode, and it was not. I am not familiar with her phone and am not sure what else to try.
Her phone is entirely stock and on T-Mobile. Until today she had full 4g capability, now seems to have no data what so ever.
Any suggestions on what I could have her try?

Did she contact T-Mobile and verify there is service in the area she's visiting, unfortunately T-Mobile doesn't provide service everywhere

Yes she has been there 4 days and had it up until this afternoon. Knowing her, I've got a feeling she somehow disabled it. I just didn't know if perhaps anyone would know of some way she may have done so other than turning on airplane mode.
For example, my fascinate has a mobile data toggle on the notification bar, hers does not, but I didn't know if there was one elsewhere maybe.

There should be an option to enable/disable data in settings under wireless networks.
On this phone it's settings, wireless and network, mobile networks, enable data packet. It might not say exactly the same thing on the exhibit, but it should be close to that.

[GUIDE] How to get your MMS back in CM10

Thanks to Shadrach in #verizons3 for helping put the final piece in this together.
So it's well known that after your first reboot you will lose your phone number and therefore lose your ability to send MMS. Here is how to solve it.
Update
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/21023/
When this update gets merged, you will be able to skip the part with phone info to get 4g back. I've tested and confirmed. I will be updating the post today with quicker steps. (and you can get it in invisiblek's newest build http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/r...tlies/testing/ (That's as of today, August 11th. Probably tomorrow you'll want to check http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/r...cial.nightlies )

Needed: Phone Info (Get it from the market). (Needed only if you're getting 3g instead of 4g when you do this)
1. Go into system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks -> CDMA Subscription. Change to NV.
2. Hit back button and then click airplane mode button on the menu. Wait for the connection disappear. Then uncheck airplane mode and wait for it to come back and give you an empty triangle for a connection
3. Go back to system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks -> CDMA Subscription. and change to RUIM. Repeat step 2 except you should actually have 3g or 4g now, depending on the build. If you have 3g then see below.
Using this method I can do the whole process in under a minute.
You may have lost data which is where phone info comes in. If you lost data:
1. Go to system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks. Change network mode to LTE/CDMA
2. exit out that menu and 3g should come back but either way go into phone info.
3. In phone info go to phone information then scroll down and change set preferred network type to either LTE/CDMA auto (PROL) or LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).
Data + MMS is now restored. Enjoy.
Addendum: For some people the reactivation screen comes on after they switch to NV. You can ignore it and hit the home button.

Can somebody confirm that is working, also thanks for this

It should work on either, I would think. Haven't ran AOKP to try it out though.

This should work for AOKP, it is an AOSP rom after all.

This works, and probably should be updated on cm10/aokp thread. Thanks!

Also, are we able to reboot the phone everytime after this or if we reboot we will be loosing the phone number again

Does not keep after reboot, but I made a log and passed it on to cvpcs who is going to take a look into it.

Worked nicely. Not much of a process like this guy says. Don't be a bum lol

okay... so i guess my first attempt at a reply to eaten by the webnarnians...
anyway, question is this:
in the cm10 thread it was suggested by many that 3g totally sucked in cm10 and that if you weren't in a 4g area you'd have major issues with data connection on 3g networks. does this fix resolve that problem as well then?
i've been holding off on cm10 because of the concern over lack of 3g. i'm not in a 4g region so it's 3g or nothing for me at the moment. i'd love to give cm10 a whirl but don't want to lose data.
thanks for the info!

I can attest to 3G sucking balls. Paranoid Android is so badazz too but I just can't deal with lack of service

Unable to get 4g back after using Phone App.

I selected the (CDMA auto PRL) for 3g only then didn't like it so i wanted to switch back but it would not let me. so now i'm stuck on 3g selected (CDMA auto PRL) every time I try to switch the setting to something else it just reverts back. Did anyone else have this issue? Please is their a fix? I need help to get the 4g back on my phone. (Galaxy S3 Verizon, rooted)

I had to reset the phone and install a different rom to make mine work. Hopefully that helps.

I will try not to do that then when I get my s3.
Hope you get your 4G back and try a hard reset to fix it.

I stopped using that app due to it happening twice. The last time it happened I had to unroot and reprogram the phone

I had this issue and flashed a stock rooted Rom then used airplane mode and it came back. I highly advise against using that app

The same thing happened on my non-rooted Verizon S3 after using Phone Info app. Verizon tech said my phone was defective. When I went into Best Buy, they started switching my phone to a new S3 and it still did it...found it was the sim card. After I got a new one, it's been working ever since.

I have posted the fix in about 4 other threads...you need to reprovision your device with the dialer code

This wipes data so have a nandroid ready.

For the millionth time avoid the beans rom and the jellybomb theme.

I don't think that phone info app has been updated in years. Was never meant for new ultra high end phones. And not to sound rude but those menus were never meant for us to play with.

That menu is how I ****in' ripped off VZW and their tethering app for the longest time with my old X2 before I got pissed off at it's random disconnects and just started using wifi tether for root users.
Ahhh.. the memories. Good times.

idk if this is the same but i used the phone info app on my fascinate and changed it and couldnt get 3g so i went to mobile networks under wireless and networks
in settings and clicked data enabled

I haven't had any problems with the phone info app! Use it daily and it's never gotten stuck on 3g.

Does this Re-provision code work with 4.1.1, I've been reading that it only works with ICS builds? I can't get 4G lte ever since rooting my phone and I've tried every thing but this. I don't want to try it though unless I know for sure that it works with jelly bean.
My Build:
Clean Rom 5.5.1
Leankernel vzw tw jb 1.2.1 (imoseyon)
Baseband I535VRBLK3

The "phone info" app is stuck on CDMA auto (PRL)
APN is set to LTE - verizon internet.

I'm on CleanRom 5.5.1 and I use Phone Info app to switch from 4g to 3g, but to go back to 4g I always have to go into System Settings -> Wireless Network -> Mobile Networks and switch it from there. Same with every JB Touchwiz ROM I've tried.

I got it changed in APN setting to "LTE - verizon internet", the only other option is "EHRPD - verizon internet", I also have global roaming set to "always allows on trips". However ever time I go back to the phone info app it resets to "CDMA auto PRL". Am I missing something?

Id say delete the phone info app or wait until it's updated to be compatible with jellybean. 3g is almost then same as lte anyways at least with my phone I almost always have a strong lte signal. The s4 chip in the gs3 was designed to be a power saver on lte compared to older chips

Ok, so if I delete the app is my phone still stuck in 3g mode somewhere in else in the phone then? I guess what I mean is does deleting app force the phone to run off the APN settings? And if this still doesn't work can I use the re-provision code ( *2767*3855#) that I saw earlier in the thread? Finally is there a way to simply check if my SIM card is screwed?
