Upgraded to md3 foolishly, went back to mb1, radio problems now - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Like the titles states, the first day the md3 ota was out, and seen it had multi window I immediately upgraded. Not long after I noticed, and after reading forum posts, there were quite a few crippling features they also released with it. After doing some more researching and finding time on my hands, finally today I was able to odin my phone back to mb1. The first thing I did was try and send some pic messages and noticed I still had the 4g signal icon popping up while using my wifi inside my house. I then decided to flash the mb1 modem and TZ hoping this would fix the problem. Still a no go, still getting the 4g icon while using wifi, and pic messages take upwards of 5 minutes to send, if they send at all. Any Ideas? Thanks.

That's exactly what's supposed to happen, maybe you never noticed, but you can't send an mms message over a wifi signal. Mobile data will trigger itself on until the data is sent and automatically shut off.

Lost 4g and 3g signal

Wondering if someone could help with this. I odin the new EP1W update and it looked like everything went fine. For some reason I didn't like it so I went back to gummy 2.0. Everything went fine. No problems. Then I decided to Odin the new modem. Thought everything went fine. Now I don't have any 3g signal. My 4g will pop up some of the time. But usually I only see the bars, and no it does not have the 1x next to it. Just the bars. I did a factory wipe thinking that would help me out but it didn't. At the beginning I will get a 4g signal, I try and enter my gmail address and it doesn't go through because my signal is lost. I am able to receive calls, sms. But I am not able to get emails, go on the internet, use certain apps that require online access (XDA app in particular). I tried imnuts fix your phone process but it said it couldn't read the cm5 hash or something like that. Is there any suggestions out there? I am going to try and go back to complete stock and see if that works. I will keep you posted but would like your input. Thanks guys.
Never mind. Figured it out.
What did you do to resolve your issue? I have something very similar going on with my wife's phone. This morning, 3G data stopped working, and 4G will only stay locked for about 5 minutes. She had the EE4 modems, and flashing the EP1W modems didn't fix anything.
I went back completely to stock and started all over again. I stayed with froyo because of stability. But I am still losing my signal. Not as much though but still bugs the hell out of me. Thinking of calling big red and see if it is still under warranty. Hopefully they make me an offer I can't refuse ;-p Wish the Galaxy S 2 was going to come but not so much. Not sure about the bionic. Hearing bad things already about the battery. Now the prime sounds awesome.
Sorry got side tracked. Yeah, go back to stock and start anew. Any questions let me know.

I had flashed every available modem, and that didn't work. I flashed back to ee4 stock. That didn't work at all. Still had no 3g and 4g would only stick for a short time. I even flashed back to ed1 and took the ota. That didn't work. Then when I woke up this morning, it was working fine. Who knows.

I get this occasionally too, like data just drops out for whatever reason... it always comes back though and I just attribute it to what's gotta be the huge amount of 4G traffic where I live (L.A.), it just goes down sometimes due to server overload or maintenance I think and even the FiOS craps out for an hour or two here and there probably for the same reasons

1.85 Mobile Network Issues

I was just curious if anyone, other than myself, is having mobile network issues with there one x still even on the newest radio and software?
The issue I am talking about is when you go to use your phone and you pick it up and it has no service at all with a X on the signal bars until you turn it on and off again or in some instances you have signal bars but you can't make a call, send or receive a message, or surf the web until once again you reboot the phone or swap it in and out of airplane mode.
I was just curious if anyone has a solution for this or ideas... ironically when I updated to 1.85 it was fine for an entire day then the next day I rooted and installed a different ROM and the issue came back. Could be timing or not related but I have no idea.
Thoughts?

Happens all the time on 1.73. I've held off upgrading because I've heard of people having fun (and by fun, I mean lotsaproblems) on 1.85.

Same here. Still on stock as well. Especially since I'm not experiencing any major issues with the phone.

Only thing thats really starting to frustrate me are all the double texts/retry sending notifications.
I have had a problem where the phone thinks it has signal, data works fine but you cannot make calls or send texts until you reboot or go into airplane mode.
This happened on 1.73, 1.82 and now 1.85

It has happened to me on all versions. I was told I could exchange mine, but they have none in stock. Another pain in the butt is that I'm not receiving text messages at times. Really becoming a nuisance.

Happens rarely but all I do is toggle airplane mode and its fixed. Takes like 5 seconds. No biggie.

I believe mine started after I rooted as well... I wonder if the root is doing something that interferes with the radio working correctly or something along those lines.
Its the main reason I updated. Even when going from HSPA+ to LTE I would have to reboot the phone while stock. 1.82 did nothing to fix the issue but since I've been on 1.85 I've not experienced the problem. Multitasking is, imo, unchanged.
Yeah. Happens regularly when I am travelling some distance by car and occasionally in the city (maybe every two days while I remain in the city). I'm on rooted stock but it was happening even with un-rooted stock. I hope HTC fixes this soon and Rogers pushes out an OTA update as this is sh*tty. Funnily enough, going into airplane mode doesn't seem to fix the issue. Apps that access the Internet just report an error with the network connection.

[Q] text message timestamps out of order

hi everyone
i've searched around google and this forum and haven't found any fixes for this issue that i'm having.
starting this morning, it seems my text messaages are all out of order. the time stamp on my text message is fine and shows the current time but when i receive a reply, it's 5 hours ahead. so when i go to reply to that message, it will display on top instead of in proper chronological order.
i'm pretty confident that it's not because the cell tower time is messed up because this happens for messages received from people in different geographic locations. also it happened to me while i was at another location more than 50kms away (home and work).
i've tried disabling the auto time and timezone, changing the time and timezone and then enabling the auto update but it's still happening.
i'm using the leaked stock touchwiz jellybean so i've flashed from the uxlf3 radio to the uclf6 radio and now i'm using the uclk4 radio thinking that might have something to do with it. but nope. i've wiped the device and re-flashed the CM10 stable rom, same issue. i've switched back to uxlf3 and flashed embryo 5.4, same issue. i'm at a loss.
i'm using fido lte and my apn is set to ltemobile.apn and my signal strength is good.
please help. :good:
Well it was as simple as pulling out the battery for 30 secs then reseat it and power on. That fixed it.
k.i.s.s.
looks like it wasn't the battery pull after all.. it was definitely the UCLK4 radio that was causing it because the problem came back. as soon as i switched to the stock rogers ics, problem went away and hasn't come back since this morning (12 hrs ago)
I was wrong... I was fine since last week and I know exactly what caused the issue. Goddamn speed test app. I just did the speed test after not doing it since last week and boom... mms ****ed up timestamps again.
Sometimes I wish I wasn't so damn curious.

[Q] Cannot send MMS when connected to WiFi

I switched to this Motorola RAZR HD from my GS3 about 2 months ago. I love the phone. Battery life is awesome, and the phone is lightning fast.
However, in the past week or two, I found that I cannot send MMS messages when connected to WiFi. When I turn off WiFi manually, I can then send MMS no problem.
I do recall doing an OTA update about 10 days ago, which is right around the time my problem started, but I'm not 100% sure that this started exactly after the OTA update. I've also been noticing since the OTA update my phone has been a bit laggy. My phone used to be lightning fast, but now its acting like my GS3 that I had. Again, not sure if this is at all related to any of the other things.
So whats the wifi fix? Is there a known problem with the latest OTA update?
I'm on 4.1.2.
Build #9.8.1Q-62_VQW_MR-2.
System version 9.16.6.XT926.Verizon.en.US
Thanks guys?
MMS needs the carrier's internet to work..not WIFI...at least that's how it is on my network (Bell).

I am aware of that. It is my understanding that the phone disables WiFi to send an MMS and then enables it after the message is sent. It used to work just fine. I don't know what could be causing my problem. I have not changed any settings.
Just wanted to update that I'm still having these problems. 50% of the time the phone will send MMS. The other 50% of the time it will just hang there and keep trying to send and I manually have to turn off wifi to get the MMS to send. Phone still lags, probably worse than ever.
This is also not the same phone as when I first posted. I had a replacement from Verizon a few months ago. The problems carried over with the new phone.
I have been using an app called Clean Master to clean my cache and unwanted files. Seemed to work well at first, but now it doesn't feel like it does anything.

[Q] Strange signal problem

When I first got my Nexus 5 I thought Hangouts was a bit buggy. When sending texts (SMS) it would sometimes try and try to send texts to no avail and other times work fine. Signal in the notification bar was fine so I assumed there was something wrong with Hangouts.
Since then (after rooting the phone with CF auto root - don't think this has anything to to with the problem) I have noticed that at the times my phone won't send texts, in the setting pull down section it shows no signal whilst still showing signal in the notification bar. I have also noticed that mobile standby uses a large proportion of my battery.
I will upload screen shots from my phone soon.
The only thing I could think of that might be causing it is that the SIM card I'm using has been cut down from normal size to micro size.
I just wondered if anyone know's what's wrong or could suggest any fixes?
Thanks
Also forgot to mention turning Aeroplane Mode on and off seems to fix the problem temporarily which is why I don't think there's a problem with the SIM card.
Battery stats:
Screen shots
I observed something similar since unlocking and rooting with wugfresh toolkit yesterday. The mobile signal just drops completely for 10s, then comes back. Mostly happens a few minutes after boot. No idea what is going on there.

When I'm at home mines doing it constantly too, and I haven't rooted yet . There's not brilliant signal here, but forcing onto 2g mode worked absolutely fine on my nexus 4.I'm considering returning it, it must be something wrong with the phone, unless the firmware is dodgy?
Just got the phone yesterday, and I have been experiencing the same problem while I was at work. I would turn the phone off and on again and the problem would be fixed, but then later would just stop working.
When I got home from work, (and ever since then) it has been fine. I am a little concerned.
I to sometimes have this issue, and receiving texts late also. The weird thing is signal bars are still full...
Are all of you using battery guru like the op?

Nope
I have this same issue, it's really weird.
I was on a call and the call was fine. As soon as I hung up I looked at my phone and it said I had no signal, but my signal bar on the notification bar showed a fine signal. Very weird to see a good signal in the notification bar, but no signal in the toggle section.
I can get a signal back by either going into airplane mode, toggling back and forth between LTE and 3G or restarting the phone.
There's a thread on the Google forums here: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/T5ey4dttBOA
Although the last Google reply was referring to APN settings, however this seems to have been refuted by the users.
It would be nice to get this narrowed down between hardware and software. If it's hardware we'd obviously want to exchange.
This is a huge issue too since you can just be sitting around not knowing you have no signal.

Sorry for not updating - started using the Google forum alamarco linked and totally forgot about this post. Have just come across it again.
Just in case anyone looks here for a solution to this problem in the future, getting a new SIM fixed it for me too.
