Not recommended to flash the modem unless you are in a good 4G area. I clean flashed AOKP M1 ROM flashed VRBLI5 modem . While in good 4G area had no problems as soon as I left (I am a truck driver) my signal and data started acting up. No data or 1x data signal also cell signal very week and a few dropped calls. So I flashed the VRLAHE modem now I got 3G back signal also better.
I think that VRBLI5 is optimized for 4G but this is just my experience.

Playing Devil's advocate here, could the bad signal just have been a really crappy area? I'm in the northeast and I know parts of Maine I fluctuate considerably and lose signal all together. Other phones do the same so I know it's not my S3.
So tempted.. I already DL the file!

Not really as soon as I flashed "HE" modem signal and data returned to normal. As I said I'm a truck driver and in the past year and a half since I got my first android phone there were only 4 or 5 occasions my 3G dropped to 1x and that was only in PA and WV in the mountains. Where I was now in IL on an interstate it should not have happened. VZW has the whole USA covered with 3G. A couple months ago I was driving through WY not a town in a 80mile radius and still had 3G. Believe me I was pleasantly surprised.

Worked fine for me too while I was in a good 4G area the problems started once I left the city. As I mentioned it is probably optimized for 4G . If you are and stay within the city that has 4G you probably not going to c a difference between HE and I5

I usually stay on 3g until I step out of my house or until I go to town. I haven't noticed a difference thus far in my area. I was also in a extremely strong 4g area when I flashed and it changed to 3g without a problem and has the same service I have always had. I'm personally running Paranoid android 2.52.

... lastnight the club where i shoot trap has no lte. my device usually will drop data there. this is the first time i had solid 3g and it even switched down to 1x but data never dropped! also lte signal seems improved aswell. imo this is the best radio to date.
this radio has been an improvement for me. in my office i am lucky to get 3g. this new radio has given me a steady 3g signal all day so far
New radio is working fine for me as well.

On the official release of Miui which has had many reports of data issues. Flashed new radio yesterday, I am in a fringe 4g area, and the handoffs from 3g to 4g seem to be much better for me. Previously after moving into a 3g area, I would have to go into airplane mode in order to get 4g back, now it seems to be switching on its own.
I wish someone would explain the whole rpm thing. Does it need flashed with the modem? Does it need flashed everytime we change the Rom? Do we even bother flashing it if we are not on the stock Rom? Why has there never been an rpm zip with every other modem?
We need answers!

ok now bear with me...lol I have been extensively doing some research on this topic. It seems RPM has to do with power management for the radio. This was implemented on the G7 update. I had no clue because I never take OTA's...In order to see the signal improvements the rpm file should be flashed with the latest radios. However nothing negative will occur by not flashing the RPM.zip. I believe this was an attempt to help fix ril issues with data handoffs and spotty 3g signal.
So if you flash just the I5 radio and dont notice any improvements or even worse signal try flashing the rpm.zip and I can about gurantee an improvement will be noticed. I can not believe how much better the 3g to 1x signal and data handoff has improved!! Anybody is more than welcome to chime in and correct me if this is incorrect. There is not much info on this topic as I spent a couple hrs putting bits of information together to come up with this conclusion...hope it helps!
I flashed this new modem/radio,and frankly, I see 4g on my phone more now than I did with the G1 that was on it previously. Everything else works as good, possibly better than before, though I did not take any measurements before flashing.

Has anyone had a problem today where your phone just cannot connect to ATT's 3G or HSPA network? For some reason, my phone is getting little-to-no signal, and if I do, it is only on GPRS... I CWM'd to my stable nandroid, but no dice, leading me to think that this problem is with the network.

My definition of normal is >3Mbps down, >1.5Mbps up... How is yours so different when you are so near? I get these speeds regardless if I'm on HSUPA or UMTS. I tend to use the latter to save battery.
The more I look, the more I think that ATT just capped my speeds 2 nights ago. This is crap. No modem change, nothing fixes it.

T-Mobile acknowledges a known issue with data connectivity on the One S:
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4288
I'm guessing this is the same issue others have reported on the EU One S(wherein the data indicator jumps back and forth between H and 3G and takes ages to load), but the T-Mobile US software, like on all their recent phones, is modded so the indicator will only ever say 4G.
Reviewer has also stated that using EU-based ROMs on the T-Mobile US One S will cause "data bugs," so I'm wondering if this is what he is referring to. If it is, the bug appears to exist in both the T-Mobile US ROM and the EU ROM.
Has anyone had this issue in their T-Mobile US One S? What are your experiences? I've mostly been at home and on wifi since I got the phone a few days ago.
I had an issue with using an EU rom and the data switching back and forth from H and 3G. I reverted to stock nandroid (provided by reviewer) and haven't had an issue with switching between 3G and 4G while at work. As with you I am on Wi-Fi at home so I'm not too sure if I am affected. But I do know that while I was on the EU rom I had drastic drops in signal and network speeds as compared to the stock rom.

Interesting. I am using stock US T-mobile, as of yet unrooted because I might take it back. Connectivity is soo spotty. I have not contacted t-mobile yet because I want to collect as much info as possible. It's either 4g or nothing, that's true. And often, it's nothing. My old 3g phone would drop to edge and stay connected. This one will just drop the connection and that happens to often.
I've been using the One S for about a week and zero issues. My residence is only covered by edge but Park City and Salt Lake City I get solid 4g with zero drops or hiccups.

I'm affected. Many times when I open the browser to search for something, I'll get the No Data Connection window pop up, even though status bar shows 3G or 4G. I close that, reload the screen, try again and it usually works. It's as though it fails to hook up to the network until it tries a few times.
I dont really have data drop issues. My 2 issues are that it switches from hspda to umts periodically, but that doesnt affect data.
I have a concern though that I feel like reception is poorer on this phone. my gs2 would hold a better signal. In fact on the gs2 i never dropped calls, whereas on the one s i had a few.
Can a radio update fix this?

What? You're comparing two different devices. A radio issue can cause lower signal so a radio update can give you more signal.

I just performed one, and got the delay/interrupt, my results were:
Download: 110kbps
Upload: 710kbps
A previous attempt last week netted 9102 down, 2065 up....that was obviously WITHOUT the bug.
I am near Chicago First let me just say for some reason my reception really never goes past 3 bars and sometimes I have none at all in places the sgs2 would have plenty dont know if this is just me...but man when data is good its phenomenal I have got up to 25mb down and 3 up but the interruptions in reception and data kill that pretty bad..so I am very torn about this phone I hope it isn't hardware related because the EU version has the same bug..
Same here most of the time I only have a max of 3 bars and I noticed sometime when I have all bars when i pick it up I lose a bar or two
Yes, phone does have connectivity issues. I live in New York and my previous phone would never go down one single bar on 4G, except in my job where my 4G goes down to 2 bars.
Now my bars go up and down like waves and jumps from 4G to 3G constantly, and in my job I just get 2G. It really sucks. Let's hope it's fixed with a hardware update and that it's not the actual chip.
Experience is exactly as you specify. Stock Rom always displayed 4g....custom Roms flip between 3g, h and I even saw an e today?!
Although time with stock was limited...I do believe, whether just a label or not, seemed data was faster with stock. Regardless....no complaints.

I don't think I have ever had a phone with Tmous where this wasn't a problem. I just figured it was T-mobile's network kicking me off so I wouldn't hog all the bandwidth. In other words, every smartphone I have had with tmobile has had this issue.
I am one of the people who have had a hard time getting good 4G service even though I'm in a. great 4G area. Today I noticed that if I reboot my phone in the area I wish to receive 4G service I get a super-fast 4G connection!
Now, that is great news but why can't my phone do this without a reboot? Does anyone know why this happens?
Have you tried simply turning airplane mode on/off rather than rebooting?
No, I didn't and thanks for the idea. But the phone should be able to do this on its own, right?
I have to toggle airplane mode when in a spotty 4g area. I hope a new radio will help with making a more seamless switch.

To be more specific (not sure if you know or are curious) a new radio hopefully will report greater signal for your respective area. New radios typically come with ota updates and users may notice greater data speeds and network signal.

Had the same problem too. I went to another city without 4G and came back home and tried to watch some YouTube. Noticed right away that YouTube was buffering. Initially thought that maybe Verizon was throttling me. My speed was from 0.5 to 3 Mbps max. Restarted phone and did speed test; speed went back up to 10 Mbps. That made me happy again.

Do you guys think Verizon will implement an ota update with a new radio, but also something to lock the bootloader back up?
Well we have some people who have posted the radio updates on the forums here, and I don't think they touch the bootloader (not 100% though), so assuming Verizon does push an OTA for new radios tied with a re-locked bootloader, it'd only be a matter of time before XDA figures out how to install only the radio update.

I bought 3 SGIII's and noticed right away that mine was not getting as good of 4g as my two daughters. Long story short, after 2 weeks I got an new phone with the updated VRALG. Was better but not great. Verizon Reps stated it was a known problem with som SGIII's.
Now I am running Synergy ROM and 4G is alot less problematic, even better than both my daughters most of the time. If I do have a problem I will cycle Airplane mode and it fixes it. My 2 cents
I feel like there's something wrong with my phone. The signal is week and I'm getting abysmal speeds. Like .2mb per sec downloading something. I'm also in a highly populated area where 4g seems to be strong here

If its really that bad. Its a hassle but it'll work...
Dial *#*#4626#*#* or download the "Phone Info" app shortcut, and it'll take you to the same area.
There you can select your radios, Dont mess with anything besides the drop down box with the preferred networks. Set to LTE Only, (defualt is LTE/CDMA/Evdo) when you are in LTE only mode, you should get pretty blazing fast internet. But your SMS/calling outbound and inbound wont work while this is activated.
As for an actual fix... You just need expirament with the different radios... On my Old bionic phone, i remember it was getting really spotty 4g, more than usual. A clean wipe seemed to alleviate the issue. I can't explain why it would it just did...

Im in West Phoenix and I do see low signal in my house (usually 1-3 bars with 2 being the norm). But out and about I get 4-5 bars 90% of the time when I am driving. I see normally about 14/4 on 4g and 1/1 on 3g at my house and usually 25/10 in Buckeye when I am there. Even with 1 bar in my house i have yet dropped a call. I find that the HE modem works best for me so I rock that with a K3 base.
not really sure on what modem I am using.
As Far as I know everything should be stock 4.1.1 from Root66's rom.
I am just hearing all these discussions with signal issues with the s3
the only thing i can really do to troubleshoot it is go down to the verizon store and see if they have a phone on a network I can test against.
If they get better signal on their phone.. then I would have to assume my phone is jacked.
troubleshooting these issues is difficult without a base to compare our statistics too.
currently I am in Apache Junction and 4g signal is abysmal .. 515dwn 1000up
..
but its apache junction.. so blah.
Ya It probably spotty on the east side I havent been over there in a while so I cant comment on how my phone is over there. If you are running a stock rooted K3 image then you are gonna be on the K3 radio which is the most current. You can flash another radio in your recovery from here and see if it helps.
I live on the east side (not as far as aj) and I get great signal. Full bars everywhere I go and 35-40 down 10-20 up. I would agree with going into a store and comparing side by side.

Could be the signal itself. Also in nj and have been getting 3g in places I usually get 4g this week. As long as you're not permanently in 3g I think we should just wait it out and see if it gets better.
You could always flash a new radio to see if that improves anything

It's seems to be just in my house but I've noticed very poor signal throughout most of Morris Essex and Passaic counties, but just over the past 2 days.

Yeah I've noticed it in Sussex and Essex somewhat.
Essex -80 to -90 dbm
Sussex -108 dbm
Go to this thread to find flashable radios and modems. Switching radio may/May not improve signal. Usually I find no difference but that's just me
