O2 is down for thousands of users in the uk for a currently unknown issue, Leaving people without signal or data. Its only affecting certain users (Which is pretty weird, As in two people in the same room, one can have full signal the other have nothing). O2 have said they are attempting to fix it but its been like this for about 6 hours for me now. Just thought i would let everyone know as i was flashing and restoring left right and center trying to fix it and i now finally know the cause

I'm on O2 and no problems
Is it possible that it affects some users yet not others because at the cell tower end it is under capacity for some temporary reason and therefore not able to allow everyone to connect to them as they should?
I don't know how they work exactly so it is just my curiosity wondering.

Yeah, it seems to have taken out GiffGaff as well (they piggyback too). I was thinking of joining O2, or one of the piggyback networks because I have had a bit of hit and miss service with 3. I take it this doesn't generally happen since I can't remember reading about it occurring to O2 in quite a while.

I think it's close to be sorted because some people on my facebook are reporting that they're up and running again but my brother hasn't got internet yet, but he has got lettering which suggests that it's close to be fixed.

Reboot your phone and it should be fine, otherwise set to 2G only as O2 reckon that network is back up.
Update from giffgaff on Facebook -
" Yesterday afternoon an issue affected O2’s network which meant some of our members could not make calls, texts or use data.
giffgaff run’s on O2’s network as do other service providers so the problem affected all parties.
We have been trying to get you as much information as possible. However, as this was being worked on through the night by O2 we were not able to give the level of information we would have liked.
We’re happy to say it has now been mainly resolved. Calls and texts are now back up and working, data services should begin to work throughout the day. Rebooting your handset may help this process.
We are very sorry and understand how frustrating it is.
You will find further updates on the giffgaff blog."

Could I ask why you are happy to have left? Just curious as most of the folks I know who are on GiffGaff seem to be very happy with it. (Apologies if this derails the thread.)
Glad to hear the network is coming back up, had a couple of friends on O2 that have been missing their phone services, I am sure they will be over the moon to be able to get back to their facebooking and tweeting

Just because I kept getting cut off for excessive internet usage and they classes it as tethering even though I haven't got a computer or anything I could tether to, which in my book is false advertising.

So I have had since day one of getting my S3 considerably less of a cell signal than my droids in the past (zero data issues, stock, un rooted, rooted, multi-rommed, bad signal). Trouble shot everything I could think of, finally had vzw send me a new device. Just got the new phone, popped in sim, set up, same thing, bad cell signal (not the sim, did that twice). In the Boston area, it's not a network thing, it's the device.
Now, I have a small dent on my phone, do I go through the effort to return to stock and send back my original device to not have a dent anymore and keep the "new" refurbished phone? Or keep my already customized original NEW phone?
This is a tough one, I hate the dent, but like knowing I have a brand new device.
Next thing, I assume at this point that the S3 just does not get as good reception as other phones. Any mods that can help? Love this phone so much that I will deal with a bad signal, but would rather not.
Please offer some valid, valuable input on what I should do. Have 4 days to send one of these back.
Thanks

Hey i got a question, so they replaced your first phone because you got bad signal? Like free of charge they swapped it ?
Yes, as warranty issue. I currently have my original device and the refurbished replacement in my hands. Have to return one of them in 4 days

Why would you go back to the original one, the replacement has a dent on it, not good and still issue.You should call support and get another one. Just tell them the replacement has a dent on it. The S3 has weak signal (2-3 bars where I live and I owned 3 of them), but never had call or connectivity issue. So I would ask for another one.
No, my original has a dent on it from when I dropped it, but it is a new phone. Replacement is cosmetically new, but a refurbished phone. Both have same basic signal issue, not as good as my droids in the past.

i got mine about a week ago, i wonder if they would replace mine (got a crack in it) if i complained about bad reception in my house, because i only get 1 bar here. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/386262_10151093476528557_832449593_n.jpg

Ok got you, when you said signal issue, do you have drop calls or just low signal bar? if you have drop calls then I would try another one and if problem stills exist then you should get another brand. S3 does have low signal compared to other droid phones...or maybe the iphone 5?
The signal strength will be a little weak. The real question is does it drop calls or is the call quality really bad (ex..voice cutting out). Try your phone in different areas and if you have none of those issues then your phone is normal.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I'll forget the implication that an iPhone would be even close to a viable replacement for my S3!
But no, not willing to change to a different device. There are dropped calls in "bad areas" that my droid would not drop in, but I can live with it. Hoping for some jacked up fix that could possibly be recommended.
And, keep original new dented device, or return to stock and send back in favor of replacement refurbished device.... Tough one!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Personally I would return your original and start over with the replacement. Put a case on it. And wait for a signal fix from Samsung.
My friend got a replacement because the vibrator died on his first one. He is now in a replacement vicious cycle and is on #7 right now Each of them have had major issues like extreme overheating etc. His newest one won't connect to wifi. So just keep that in mind, once you get in the replacement cycle you will be getting phones that have been "repaired" for other potentially worse things.
With any samsung CDMA phone you can expect to drop more calls and have a worse signal than you would on an HTC or Moto device by a decent margin.

This. Also remember that the bars are NOT universal you would have to look at the dBm. From what I've read you need to use the same app on both phones in order to get a correct reading since all of the manufacturer seem to report the signal strength in various ways.
This may or may not help..
I have found that the VRLF2 baseband works better on my phone than the lastest G1 baseband. Worth a shot to try it if you haven't.
Of course the basebands can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788313
That's the stuff I'm interested in. Changing baseband version, radio, etc. But I know nothing about it. I'll start researching your link.
I think I'll be sending the refurbished one back, I'll just be paranoid if things stop working. My device now is mint except for the signal.

I personally would keep the original depending on how bad the reception is... Is it just moderately below what you are used to or significantly? The samsung devices have crappy radios period. Considering they now are running the show far as top of the line android they may pay attention and start implementing better radios for our GSIII.
If it is just moderately lower than normal, I would keep the original(youre not gonna get any better with a replacement) and put a case on it that hides the dent. There ARE three different radios you can flash to see if maybe one works better for your area. Check this MODEM THREAD out and try the different radios... do it for a day on each one at least to see if one is better for you and your area than the other. Sometimes ROMs do affect your reception also. I personally think that running a stock TouchWiz ROM gives me a little better 4g signal than running a AOSP ROM but it's such a small difference I'm willing to sacrifice it for the other benefits of AOSP.
At this point, I can't agree enough. I think the key element that verizon has failed to point out to me is that Samsung's do not compare to other devices for reception. I kept getting false hopes that this was a problem that could be fixed, and it cannot. I did just try another radio with no prevail, but again, the signal is functional, just not as good as my droids in the past. I have not noticed any significant changes between rom's though, but I think that's good. Definitely keeping my original, why take a refurb if it offers no functional value other than not having a dent!

That's with some ROMs that for whatever reason default to having the LTE unchecked.
i think this signal issue gets blown out of proportion...i never drop calls on my s3 and signal is great. i performed a side by side comparison against my mother in-law's razr, her device pulled -102db, my s3 pulled -107db...also at that signal i pull 12-14mb/s LTE.
Ever since day one (start of August or so) I've been having a few problems with this phone. At first, I thought it was just the network or maybe the recipient's network. Then I realize it may very well be the Blaze itself.
The problem I'm facing is this...
Almost every time I try to make a phone call I can't hear anything. No dialing sound audio. No person on the other line... just nothing. The phone does go through, but I can't hear anything. I don't use any BlueTooth device. I have to wait several minutes or reboot my phone several times in order for the calls the work properly. This issues has been going on from GB (stock, no root) to ICS (stock, no root) until now that I'm flashing the phone to see if I can fix it (currently using PA's latest version as ROM). I thought the updated radio from ICS would fix it but to no avail. Goes to say, this issue happens to my father, too (same phone, got them for free when we started the contract).
This has caused an annoyance for both me and for friends.
Anybody else experiencing this? Any ideas as to why this happens?
IDK if this helps but I'm from Puerto Rico.

Tell you what, I have been having the same problem. Make sure you call tmobile and complain! They are telling me that this is not a known issue and there are no complaints on it. I had a detailed complaint filed. I sent my phone back, got another one and it is worse than the first with this issue! Another strange thing is that it will suddenly make doubles of my custom ringtones and one of the files doesn't work. It defaults to generic ringtone. Very glitchy. Sometimes, will still show that the custom notification tone is selected but will play default tone. I am sending this one back too. I am really bummed to hear that rooting did not fix the issue on the phone calls. I was actually considering doing this next...... Really hope the next phone doesn't have this issue. I like the Blaze and don't know of another tmobile phone that is comparable to replace it with.
ditto
I have the same problem I believe. I currently dorm near the Bay Area, California. I haven't been able to hear or reply through my calls even though they connect to the other person's phone. This isn't exactly a signal problem because the phone still has bars and I can still tell when someone is trying to call me. I still receive texts, use wifi, and sound is working perfectly fine. I am glad I am not the only one with these problems.
edit: This whole "unable to hear or speak" into the mobile phone problem began around November 22nd (thanksgiving overload?).
I am using CyanogenMod 9, rooted of course.
edit2: So I just tinkered around with the sim card and battery by taking it out and waiting for a minute or two before putting it back in. Voila! I can now hear my voice mail.
Sounds like Handset issues with me... send them back and have them send you new ones... that's some BS if it is doing that Stock.
Just my opinion... being through a lot of phone and that is what it sounds like. just one mans opinion... cheers

I would be better off getting a new, better phone, it seems. It is quite annoying. Either way I voided my warranty by flashing. I don't suppose I can actually return it back to stock (like, literally returning to stock and unrooting and wiping and formatting every data) so I can still give it back... can I?

I got my third phone from tmobile the other day (all Blaze) and my very first phone call it happened on. To add to what someone else said. The phone shows plenty of signal strength and in fact, if I hang up and call right back the call goes through as it should. This from sitting in the exact same spot. I can't figure out what's going on? I had thought on this and realized that I had been turning off apps on the phone that I don't use (pre loaded junk). On the off chance that had something to do with it I turned them all back on. Still does it. I'd say it is a good 30-35% of my calls that this happens on. Very frustrating. I really like this phone but it won't function as a phone for me. I guess now they have to give me a different phone if I return this one too but I don't know what phone is comparable in size and function. I picked this phone specifically for the size. My wife got an s3 and I was not interested in it at all due to how big it is. This sucks.
I have to chime in. i just bought the blaze for my g/f, and i've using an sgh-t989 (galaxy s2), having the same issue you are describing. stock radio, stock ROM, just rooted.
Such a shame considering it is such a great phone for the price it is offered at. Safe to assume it is a hardware problem?

Are you saying that you are having this problem with the blaze or the s2? Both?
Both phone are having this behavior. new SIM used in both phones aswell.
Yeah, I went down and switched out my sim card as well. My wife has an s3 and has no problems so I don't know what's up? Shows signal but calls won't connect properly. Hang up and call back, it works. Huge pain when I am driving or short on time though.
Any fix this problem found? I talked to samsung and t-mobile today, samsung was no help at all and t-mobile asked me to master reset it. Once that didn't work they offered a warranty exchange. Any one have luck correcting the issue?
So far? No. But my phone seems to be behaving for the past few days (3). Which is weird. I'm probably jinxing it right now.

Whas ROM are you using? ICS and gingerbread have a call preference switch in settings. Set it to data preferred. Cm 10 has a lte switch in settings use it. Battery apps can cause delay in data connect. Try these and let me know how it works.
Reposting this from the accessories forum...
Several people recently had their data wiped by installing CM 10.1..
Many of us have done full factory resets with re provisions etc etc..and clean installed a completely different Rom.
After doing so, my IMEI/ERI are still intact, and data has been restored. HOWEVER...
When in an area with no reception (like my f ing house!!!!) I am constantly being prompted to “enable global mode ". This will happen up to 100 times per day and is killing battery life..
Can someone PLEASE help with a fix for this, or even better an all around disable for global mode!?

It could be due to the latest OTA, which does enable global mode. I haven't been able to find out how to disable the constant query of that damned global notification. This only happens when I'm playing a game for some reason. Really annoying, but it's bearable for the most part. Glad to hear that you got your data back though.
I see how it would be agitating to see this in places where you have fringe signal quality. When I'm on the metro, I receive this prompt every so often once we go underground. In this case, it doesn't bother me since I have signal everywhere else. I'm not aware of a method on how to disable it, as I said its infrequent for me, just stating my experience with this nagging notification.

Ok, I am having the same issue. I live in a pretty urban area but at my house and work I don't get the best signal so it is happening may times a day. I only updated to VRBLK3 yesterday and that is the same time this started happening. Wonder if there would be any harm going back to the previous radios.
I just had this yesterday for the first time as well.. was on the train trying to watch a film, and it kept popping up every 15-30 seconds.... really annoying.

Only problem is even when global mode is enabled, if you lose service it then has to refresh the f$&*ing "SIM data", which exits whatever application your using and temporarily disables wifi to do so! I think this is even more f*&%ing annoying because it happens just as frequently as the global prompt! Im really upset with samsung and everyone else who had a stake in the update. You'd think there wouldn't be a problem with releasing a patch but noooooooooooo, it's gotta be a new revision before they care to push anything!

And of course use more battery. LOL Have you guys found a solution to this? I have been away from TW Roms for a while, and thought I'd try a couple. Does it depend on the rom, or will they be all the same if on the same base?
Has anyone found a work around for this? I'm trying a few TW roms to see how they've come along and to see how much better signal is with them. The problem is, as has been stated everywhere with seemingly no answer, that global mode pops up constantly when signal is iffy. Where I live and work the signal is always iffy. This alone is enough to keep at least myself away from TW roms forever no matter how much better the signal is. And it does seem to be at least 3 Db/m better for me, and more usually. This is a big difference in the sticks where I live and work. Anyway, just wondering if anyone has came up with a workaround.
And yes I've tried manually setting LTE/CDMA in data to no avail. I don't want the issue described above where it has to screw with the sim everytime I lose signal. And the popup is more irritating than the poison ivy I have itching me all over.
If anyone has a solution please for the love of god, or no love of god, tell me.

The MOAR port has the option to permanently stop that option from popping up after you see it once.

I apologize if these questions were asked before, but I could not find anything that helped through searching.
Both my wife and I are having issues with the signal on our phones. We get drops and a weird noise occasionally occurs (a weird gargle sounding noise or something like a fax machine). I'm running the latest Ultragen, and she's running the latest AntonX Barebones. I just find it weird that both phones do the same thing.
So, the question is, do all these ROMs use the same modem? Could switching to a different modem help solve the issues I'm having? How do I find out which ROM uses which modem? There's nothing listed in the phone's "about" section of which modem is being used.
Any feedback would be awesome!
About phone>baseband. That will tell you what modem your running. Fb's got thread for modems in the Dev section.
Try some and see if it fixes it. I've never had that issue and don't remember anyone else having it either.
Thanks, Hechoen! I'll check out FB's thread and just do some trial & errors. I'll definitely post back with my findings just in case anyone else runs into this issue.
I forgot to mention that I'm on T-mobile; although I doubt it is carrier related since both phones are having the same problem and I'm in Chicago, where the signal is strong.
For what it's worth I guess TMOB and MetroPCS are in the process of merging. Some people on are having strange issues. So if this has started recently I'd call TMOB and *****. Also try going back to stock on both phones for a few days. If it still does it then call TMOB and ***** some more. LOL Good luck.
I didn't know they started implementing that... I'm definitely gonna *****! LOL Thanks for the heads up!

Sound like an interesting proposal for them to merge if they could only get their four g up and.running it would be great
