As title says, I went to the theatre today and realized I still had 5 bars of WiFi when I was 20KM away from home, was this a one time glitch or is it a known problem?
sounds familiar....
hey there,
I'm down here in New Zealand with a both versions of device, X & XL
my XL has the problem you speak about.
When i leave my house, it takes for ever to disconnect, pain of course because the 3G or 4G wont flip on while it thinks it is still on wifi.
When i return to my home/SSID the device takes for ever to reconnect, if it even does. i go to the wifi settings, and the connection initiation is just cycling, end attempts to connect, over and over.
I've thought i had fix it once before, by installing a new RUU. I was on RUU 1.77.708.3 Asia, could only find 1.77.708.2.
this seemed to fix disconnection on departure problem, but the cycling and hunting continued when i returned.
I have since found that this must be linked to the bluetooth. I say this because while the wifi is hunting/cycling i flip off the bluetooth and the wifi reconnects within seconds. I tested this more and with bluetooth disabled i have no wifi problems at all, but with bluetooth on, its gives my problems.
The second issue is the bluetooth its self. unlike my flawless desireHD, i can only stream music to my car head-deck, when i get a phone call, the music cuts out like it should, but the phone audio doesn't happen, been like that from the get go. wifi was a problem all the time because this dodgy bluetooth was on all the time so i could listen to music in the car and hopefully one day take calls in the car also.
well i have good news for me, today i flashed CleanROM.3.Standard .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655011
Today for the first time I can take calls over bluetooth in the car. this is good news because i was certain this was a hardware issue, even it it is, i am confident it can be resolved in the software now.
I'll do a few drive-by's my house tonight to test this wifi, see if that got resolved also. I'll let you know the result later.
I tell you all this in-case our issues are the same, it might save you some time... maybe.
good luck with, and check that bluetooth theory because i'm dying to know if its a common problem.
Cheers
Thank you for that very detailed post.
I also have bluetooth running (connected) to my car and it works flawlessly but it may be a cause for the WiFI staying connected as well. I will turn it off and see how it goes as the week progresses and keep this updated as well.
I would also like to flash clean rom but I am using the Rogers variant so I am worried it might not be compatible.

This has been a known problem since the HOX has been released.

First reaction: It's not a glitch, that's just really good WiFi...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I did those drive-by's......
Me again...
I did those drive-by's of my house, unfortunately there is no joy for me, still the WiFi behaves the same as before.
Its funny, down here we have assumed that the X is the same as the XL apart from the cpu. But in reality they are two completely different machines.
So I turned off Bluetooth and the problem does not occur anymore, WiFi disconnects as needed but it is obviously not a permanent fix. Another problem is the WiFi being on and off with 5 bars swapping between 4G and WiFi...
CleanROM again......
OK, I was doing some more reading and have since found that the developer of CleanROM has released a GSM patch so the hotspot on his ROMs now work.
You might remember i said earlier in this thread that CleanROM.3 worked best for me but the hotspot didn't work so i couldn't use it.
Now i have CleanROM installed again, Hotspot works, bluetooth both Audio & Phone work, and the WiFi at this stage seems to be doing what it should without having to manually toggle the bluetooth on and off. No apparent bugs to report at this stage.
Software Info on phone says this version is built around 1.29.728.12. I don't know if that means all ICS version of that number are good or not, but again its a place to start. Its looking like some versions have the issue and some don't, this re-assures me that it can be resolved within the software. I don't mind testing this stuff, as long as the developers don't mind developing it, and its a good learning curve.... its all good.
Check this CleanROM work out, it could be your answer.

I'll check back in in a day or so and update you on my WiFi situation.
Cheers!
Thanks again for all your research and assistance.
I have the Rogers variant, should be no problem flashing it to CleanROM correct? Also, for each new CleanROM update, I would have to wipe and flash again? Seems troublesome.
Can you advise on the process required to flash the ROM? I am new to Android and the steps in the thread is not as comprehensive.
Many thanks.
hi there, show you how to load roms, thats a big job for me....
...I'm new to this myself, but i know a tutorial that will save me a ton of typing.
you need to do 2 things first, before flashing roms.
1,Unlock your bootloader
2,Install clockworkmod
have a look at this ,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647272
Study this thread, very helpfull. He explains how to install clockworkmod on your device, once you have that done you are 80% there, and you only have to do this process once, once done, flashing roms will always be the last 20%, you never do this again.
Infact flashing roms and backing up your own rom is a very simply task. the commands are on a list, just choose them as you go. To backup, wipe, and flash a new rom takes me less than 10 minutes.
Go to you tube and look at this, this shows you how Clockworkmod works.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOQEmQYFEeY
dont be freaked out, take it step by step, you'll be fine.
I also started this thread, regarding working roms for this wifi issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27585586#post27585586
no one has replyed yet, but it might yeild helpfull info later on perhaps
Thanks, I will do this shortly. Will unlocking the bootloader or doing any of the aforementioned steps give me the tampered signature?
Yes
yes, your phone will be marked.
Boot loader will be marked "Unlocked" , even if you relock it, its just gonna say "relocked" . nothing you can do about that.
The boot loader will also say "tampered" if you update the rom, but that msg dissappears completely if you update the phone via an RUU.exe
Can this hurt me with regards to warranty requests? I know I can remove the tampered status by flashing a stock ROM but I am concerned re: bootloader.
5/19/2013 Update: The bug might be dead! Like for real this time. See this post, post number 14 in this thread with an explanation of what to do.
10/25/2012 Update: TRY THE LATEST BUILDS OF BRUCE'S CM10 STARTING WITH THE 10/25 VERSION!
Bruce has made a change that helps differentiate between the regular data stream and the MMS data stream in an attempt to see if that was what was causing the instability issue. This is only on Bruce's CM10 Kang as of 10/25. If you are only another CM ROM, flash Bruce's (even if just for a minute or two) and see if the data bug goes away. Please report back if it did!
If this does cure it, I'm sure Bruce will share the sollution to all other devs and your favorite other AOSP ROm will have the cure shortly.
Updated 10/24/2012
This is a detailed description of the 6 million or so things that various people have attempted to do in order to rectify the blinking data connection problem plaguing T Mobile USA users on AOSP ROMs for the Sensation. This issue is non existant in Sense based ROMs.
The problem has something to do with how the Sensation authenticates itself with the T Mobile Data Network. It's not based on the cell towers as voice calling is unaffected. The theory is that the AOSP framework lacks the proper authentication certificates for part of the data network and when the phone is routed to that part of the network, it gets kicked off teh network, then continually retries to connect.
This was and issue on the Sense Gingerbread Stock ROM in 2011 but T Mobile and HTC patched it. All Sense ROMs are free from this bug. But no one knows what exactly the patch was so AOSP ROM's have not been able to be cured yet.
Short version....
Problem started for me on Bruce's CM10 rom. But it's reported on all CM10 variants and most CM9 ROM's as well.
One day I noticed that data wasn't connecting well. It would blink on and off. Sometimes it would stay on, but if I turn it off then right back on, it might go back to blinking.
The problem exists on all AOSP roms (AOKP, CM9, all versions of CM10) even after full wipes and restores of known working nandroids.
Cell signal for voice calls works perfectly. No problems whatsoever. So the phone is connecting to T Mobile. It just won't get data.
Long version....
To fix this I've tried the following...and how each does or doesn't work.
Switch to 2G networks only and switch back. Problem remains, and still blinks E on the EDGE networks rather than being solid on them.
Updated the radio. Problem remains.
Updated the entire firmware package. Problem remains.
Superwipe and flashed Sense, verify data works well. Then regular wipe and flash a fresh install of CM10. Problem remains.
Flashed clean version of CM10 and fixed permissions. Problem remains.
Made calls from the phone. Some people have reported that this helps temporarily.
Sent myself a text message. Some people have reported that this helps temporaliy.
Turn on airplane mode for a minute then go back to normal. Some people have reported that this helps temporarily.
It's not related to Wifi at all because I've created the error on fresh installs of CM10 before ever turning Wifi on.
Formatted SD card. Problem remains (and just to be sure I got the error while the blank formatted SD was removed from the device)
Checked the APN's 100 times. They are correct.
Spent an hour on the phone with T Mobile. Their tech said everything looked good on their end. He cleared the SIM and reactivated it. Problem remained.
Other people have gotten new SIM cards and found that while they helped right away, the problem eventually came back.
The only things that have shown any help to multiple users are in bold above. There are various reports of 100 other 'fixes' that people swear fixed the problem for them. But all of them involved the phone disconnecting from the network and reconnecting. That appears to be the key to get data working again temporarily. Making calls and sending yourself text messages also forces authentication on the T Mobile network without breaking the original connection.
If you want more details or want to review the logs to see if you can figure it out, logcats of the problem are located in this post! Click here for logcatty goodness!
Here is the real kicker....
Everyone once in a while...it connects. And once it's connected it'll stay connected until I turn the connection off or reboot the phone. Then it'll go back to blinking in and out when I try to turn it back on.
Just another note, the data is finicky on my old LG G2x also on TMobile with AOSP based ROMs, talk works, but cell data won't come back after going into airplane mode and out, until a reboot. It works fine on official TMobile ROMs. I suspect there may be some proprietary cell data negotiation between handset and Tmobile towers that AOSP code doesn't have.

Okay here's an update on this for anyone who finds this thread through a search or Google or something....I'll try to describe this using the simplest terms possible so those of us who aren't cell tower engineers can understand it. (And I assume that's most of us, including me!)
The latest running theory is that the issue occurs due to the way the phone is handed off from 1 tower to another.
As you move your phone is handed off from one tower to the next. You get unregistered with tower 1 and reregistered with tower 2. That's normal.
However if you are within range of 2 towers you can't be on both. You have to be registered with 1, and that's supposed to be the stronger one. But AOSP ROMs lack a T Mobile certificate that authenticates which tower is supposed to have priority. So when the data is blinking you are getting bounced between 2 towers because the phone is trying to register with both.
The latest version of Bruce's CM10 ROM (Dated 10/10/12 and with TMOUS DATA in the rom name on the download page) supposedly includes patches that fix how this authentication works. And I only say 'supposedly' because the patches have only been up for about 12 hours so the jury is still out on how well it works. Personally I've been on it all day today and haven't had the data issue yet. But it can be days in between seeing it. So it'll take a while to know for sure that it's fixed.
If this turns out not to be the exact cause of the problem, it's something similar and a final sollution should be found soon.
Update: This have never been substantiated, and several users with the bug have reported knowing for a fact that they experience the problem when in range of only 1 tower.
Hi,
I have noticed with JB ROMS that you get 7 or 8 APN's,most of which do not apply to me.
Have you tried (making a note of your one first) and deleting all the APN's
Reboot,and just install yours.

That's one of the 1000 things that's been tried, to no effect. If he APN is set to the correct one the extra APN's are ignored.
Nothing that you do within the phone can cure the problem. At most, forcing the phone to re-register with the tower is the only thing that can help, and that will be temporary if it works at all.
The best bet now is to hope that Bruce fixed it with his latest additions to CM10 now that we understand what the actual problem is (or at least that we think we do)
Update....
T Mobile data is still broken. It has not been fixed yet. The latest theory may just be one more in a long line of theories that turned out to be wrong.
There are days when I really hate this phone.
Thanks for the update. I've been monitoring that thread occasionally, but it has way too much traffic for me to keep up. I was close to switching to it, but I need good battery life and reliable cell service over any smoothness benefits of JB, which is why I'm sticking with HyperNonSense ICS for now.
been experiencing this issue for a couple months myself. currently stuck in a no data bout as we speak. i'm wondering if it has anything to do with the amount of data we've used. i noticed this last bout started right around the time i passed 5gb. should also be noted i'm on the unlimited 4g plan and tether like crazy. i guess i'll know if the problem persists until my next billing cycle. for now i'm stuck with a sense nandroid and crack flashing aosp daily to see if it's fixed.

I have tried the SIM swap fix. And that has apparently worked. I've been using in good for about the last 6ish hours without any problems. :good:
So i'd give that a shot if your willing.
I've been using CM10 KANG since it was available for HTC sensation. Never had the data blink issue. Recently, my phone started to have this issue. Data would simply not connect with CM10 or CM10.1 with any radio/firmware combination. I also noticed that when I travel to work, i get data say after 10 miles away from my home and it continues to work after coming back home. However, after restarting the phone, i hit the blink problem again. Wondering if its because of some cell tower maintenance/upgrade near my area.
So I was on bruce's ROM until a week ago and this never happened while on his ROM. Just upgraded to albinoman's ROM and this started happening. I have to send myself a MMS picture to get it back again. Hope this helps
Fix
Ive had this problem on and the only thing that seems to help is flashing a new ROM but then a few weeks later it returns... I realized that this only happens when I try to send an MMS message or attempt to receive them. I don't know how to stop receiving an MMS but just delete the picture message you're trying to send and your data should stop blinking on and off. Can't guarantee it'll work for you but it worked for me! GL!!
It appears as though this stupid annoying silly obnoxious bug has finally been squished, sprayed with 3 cans of Raid, and its' mangled corpse then burned to a crisp...I hope.
3 weeks ago W1ldFl0wer brought this fix to Albinoman's attention...
In the build.prop under phone>system was the following line....
ro.telephony.ril.v3=datacallapn,signalstrength
This line appeared like this on all AOSP roms for the sensation.
The fix was to add skipbrokendatacall to the line so it looked like this....
ro.telephony.ril.v3=datacallapn,signalstrength,skipbrokendatacall
Save the file, reboot, and data should spine right up and work fine. So far the peopl ewho have run into the data bug have implimented this change and BOOM, data fixed.
So if you use any AOSP ROM 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2 other than Albino's CM10.1 Kang just add skipbrokendatacall to that line and see if it fixes it. Only do this if you on in the US on T Mobile's network. If you are in parts of Europre making this change will screw up your data.
If you are using Albinoman's CM10.1 Kang ROM, he has already included this line in the build.prop for you. You just have to activate it. About 30 lines into the build.prop is the new line that reads...
#ro.telephony.ril.v3=datacallapn,signalstrength,skipbrokendatacall
Just delete the # in front of that line. (The # makes the ROM skip the line when loading everything, but lets it stay in the file so you can read it. Deleting the # means that the phone will read that line when it reboots.) Then go up to the line that says the same thing without skipbrokendatacall and delete that line entirely. Save the file and reboot. If you don't delete the original line without skipbrokendatacall, your phone will go haywire, data might not work at all, and you might inadvertantly trigger Z Day. So if you're not ready to fight in the zombie apocolypse, only leave one of those lines in the build.prop.
Hope this cures it for everyone! Again, don't make this change if you live outside the USA or are not on T Mobile's network! Doing so on other networks in other parts of the world could make things worse for your phone!
Here is the link to the post where W1ldFl0wer informed Albinoman of this fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40755845&postcount=9003
I don't think W1ldFl0wer invented the fix, but he certainly is the one who made it public to Sensation users so go to that post and thank him/her bcause I might finally be able to stop obsessing over this stupid bug because of this user!!! :good:
Hi all,
I'm running cm10 currently, have been using it for a long time. I have the 2.40 telestra radio installed, never had an issue in the past with it.
After flashing the new 0127 weekly from cm10 (4.1.2), I cannot make or receive any phone calls. SMS works fine, data works fine. I have recovered to an old backup that was working fine, still cant call/receive calls. The call begins, 2 seconds of nothing then says call ended. I have flashed a brand new ROM, recovered to 3 different ROMs (MIUI,venom,AOKP) all the exact same issue, I did a clean install, Ive tried different radio's 2.09/2.40 (only ones that seem to work well data wise for me), I've done everything except flash the stock ruu (which I'm having trouble finding documentation on, I believe the easiest way is with the one click tool, scared to flash the wrong ruu though )
My screen has a crack in it, not sure if its relevant as the issue began after I flashed the new nightly, I don't understand how this could be physical.
All in all, I'm stuck can't use the calling feature at all. The mic still works, tested with a recording app. I'm just looking for a suggestion as a next step.
The phone is a rogers HTC one x, please let me know any suggestions or if anyone has encountered this before.
Thanks in advance guys,
Josh

Got it fixed, I ended up speaking with tech support from my carrier, they "refreshed my number" on the network, solved the issue. I ended up going through the entire RUU rewrite process for no reason. Just an FYI for other people out there, start with tech support first, ended up being an issue with the network, not my software.
I try to keep up with latest os, but 4.3 has me baffled. The first time I tried to install 4.3 was on Jellybam 10.2. I followed the instructions to the tee, but it didn't work. All 4.3 roms I've loaded I've never had a signal. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Now that all of the 4.3 roms have the custom recovery already on the rom, it still doesn't work. I have no signal. I thought about unrooting my sg3 and starting over, but that is a pain. So I'm basically stuck with 4.2.2. If anyone has anything to say about my problem please do so. Thanks

I'll second that. Was running cleanrom 7.0, thought I'd fool around with 4.3 Flashed a couple of different ROMS, and none worked. Restored my backup of Cleanrom, and still no signal. It shows 4 bars, can receive an occasional text, but trying to text or make a call the signal drops away. Help!

when you flash, co you clean flash? and what recovery are you using? This info would help in getting your questions answered.
i've been running Mastamoon's unofficial 10.2 (Android 4.3) nightlies (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385652), and regularly flash back and forth between TW Roms as well and have never had any real data problems. sure, drops data every once in a great while, but Mastamoon puts a lot of work into cleaning up issues.
one thing: IF you flash, and you don't have data, did you wait more than a couple of minutes? Sometimes it takes a while on first flashes. Also, did you check what your status said? (menu >system settings >about phone >status? Also, check to insure your mobile network is set up correctly (menu >system settings >more > mobile network settings) and check your CDMA subscription is set to RUIM/SIM and NOT NV, and network mode is set to LTE/CDMA/EvDo sometimes during a bad flash, these can get hosed up.
like i said, i run Masta's unofficial version, and go in and out of data areas (no data in the subway tunnels) and it always goes right back.
give that a try, and if still having problems, add more information befor just saying "i don't get any data with any 4.3 rom

Good afternoon, and thanks for your help.
I wish I could give you more information, but I broke one of my cardinal rules about messing with my phone and didn't take notes. Suffice it to say I was trying a couple of different 4.3 ROMS in the forums, as well as the two available MIUI roms that were in there. I use TWRP.
I did wait quite a while before declaring no data, it has actually been a couple of days. It does show I have a signal, and I can get texts that are sent to me. When my wife tries to call my phone it goes right to voice mail, even when it does say I have a signal (4G, full bars). I also cannot send a text, it immediately goes to 'failed message'.
I tried setting my phone back to LTE/CDMA/EvDo, but I don't see an option for CDMA subscription. I wonder if I accidentally tried a Global ROM instead? All I am really looking for is some 4.2 love, I like what my daughters Nexus 4 has for lock screen widgets, and my Cleanrom installation is acting a little wonky now and again, so thought it was time to flash something new. Silly rabbit, trix are for kids.
Thanks again. Thinking of flashing a stock ROM and starting over. Any thoughts?

follow my last post; Mastamoon has his version of CM10.2 (4.3) running great, and is very quick at answers (during the week that is) as well a couple of other DEVs that follow that tread are always willing to offer help. AND he has a download app, that once you install will tell you when there is an update, give you a direct link to it, and after downloading, will check the MD5 to insure a good download.
providing you are on VZW that is.
I actually had this problem coming from hyper drive to dirty Unicorn. But i started out on the Droid X back in the day so I was used to it. While I don't know if this really works but it worked for me is do *22899 then *228# ( so the keyboard pops up ) i did it a few times also i turned it off the cell service and turned it back on using the toggle. While i dont know if that will do it it worked for me. I know LTE dont need do that because of the sim but it does for me in the hiccup.
A question i have that i cant post in the Dev Fourm because of lack of post. I been part of XDA for long time just never posted. But I'm running Dirty Unicorn and theres a option for fast charge but it does nothing. I've used this feature before and makes my car charger work better and home charging and my battery sucks now but does anyone know how to get it working? I've tried terminal did SU and FFC but nothing.
I'm running twrp recovery. I'm asuming the latetest version. And i do let it settle for a while. As for the settings you mentioned, everything is normal,and as it should be. The imei,meid, ect. Is normal. Thanks for the input.
I've fixed this by going full ODIN, putting a stock image back on, and following the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066133 Seems to be working, it is no longer on roaming.

I try to keep up with latest os, but 4.3 has me baffled. The first time I tried to install 4.3 was on Jellybam 10.2. I followed the instructions to the tee, but it didn't work. All 4.3 roms I've loaded I've never had a signal. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Now that all of the 4.3 roms have the custom recovery already on the rom, it still doesn't work. I have no signal. I thought about unrooting my sg3 and starting over, but that is a pain. So I'm basically stuck with 4.2.2. If anyone has anything to say about my problem please do so. Thanks

When I tried 4.2 and turned off data it completely killed my signal. None of my recoveries of 4.1.2 had signal. Flashing back to stock fixed the signal problem.
Hellfire and Dirty Unicorns have worked great for me since going to 4.3 and 4.3.1. I use cwm touch recovery but idk how much of an effect recovery has with flashing a rom successfully.
But this tool makes rooting, unlocking the bootloader, and recovery very simple and easy. (but I would flash the latest recovery after using the tool just in case)

I believe fast charge is kernel related and not because of a rom. I haven't ever used fast charge but all the kernel threads always list fast charge as a feature. But which DU build are you running?

swipe does not seem to work yet. home button doesnt bring phone out of sleep
The phone does not react as not to enter the call
Friend I need help my problem is that since 9/16/2014 M10 CM11 can not update my phone because when you upgrade to the latest version of CM11 and now updating your rom CM12, everything works fine wifi, data, text messages, all but the only thing is that I if I can make calls perfectly, but if someone calls me, the phone does not react as not to enter the call, but to put it together on the phone that is calling me hear them (tic, tic, tic) as when you put it near a speaker, meaning that the call reaches the cell, but the cell does not react. I hope someone help me or help me since I can not upgrade my phone.

I also have a SGS 3, now running Masta's Lollipop CM 12 initial release. I was on the same modem but updated to NE1 one posted by Masta in his thread. It does NOT lock the bootloader. Good luck and post back your results. Have a nanod backup just in case. Gary

try putting a random micro sim card or a regular sim trimmed to fit micro sim in the sim slot, this works for the d2vzw and d2lte roms on the straight talk s3, we were having the same problem with these roms but a sim fixes data for us, maybe it will for you too, doesn't have to be a working or active sim just needs a sim in the slot to connect for some reason, hope this works for you

Misc data usage now at 40%, that's a lot higher than it was.
At 30% right now with one hour screen on time.
Pretty bad, haha

Tried out the lollipop rom, it was solid until it froze on making calls. Flashed back to my backup of CM11 M12. I'll seriously wait until the bugs are worked out. Spotty calling doesn't make me want to run it at all
From my CM11 S3
Hi Everyone,
I'm still on an old CM10.1 masta build from 7-30-2013 and I'd like to get back into things with these CM12 alpha builds. How should I go about this? I know I need to update my firmware/baseband (still on MF1) as well, but what should be my order?
Recovery - nandroid
Flash - Firmware/baseband
Reboot - to make sure all is well
Back to recovery
Wipe data/cache/factory reset
Flash - rom/gapps/SU
Done?
Then just dirty flash subsequent builds?
Thanks for your help, I've had solid performance from this old rom but looking forward to an update.

flash the ROM and Gapps THEN do your wipes, if you don't you might flash the ROM and when you reboot it might be buggy and you might think its the ROM when it might be something left behind from before so do your wipe so you don't run into that; always flash then wipe before reboot, sometimes you can skip that step and flash one over the other without wiping to fix issues in what you are flashing new but that's for experienced people to play around with and doesn't always work, anyway fkash rom and gapps then wipe and reboot

Ambient Display
So, this is in regards to the CM12 alphas, and since I don't have 10 posts yet, gotta post here.
Ambient Display was merged, which is pretty sweet, except it seems to randomly display for no reason. I don't have any notifications showing up, so why is it coming up? It can display several times in a minute, or go several minutes too, it seems pretty random. Only thing I can think of is it's picking up subtle vibrations and thinking I've picked it up?
no incoming calls
Anyone else having an issue with no incomming calls? Ive realised since a few months on cm11 i get no incomming calls unless its a private number.. I would love to use cm12 but theres the same issue. Seems to affect people using this phone outside the US like i am. I saw someone mention this in the main thread but im stuck posting here since im a new member :/
Yes my girlfriends phone after i installed cm11 on it. Never did figure it out.
Top and bottom mic swapped in skype and other such apps?!
First off my last no calls issue was solved with this file. i cant post links so maybe search d2gsm_rilblobs.zip
Ever since I've used CM on my S3 i noticed during my skype calls when i hold the phone to my ear the other person doesn't hear me well especially when there's allot of ambient noise!
I soon discovered that when using any app that records audio it uses the top mic only. but in regular phone calls through the network its normal using the bottom mic! Does anyone experience this? i mean it works fine and if u don't pay attention it may not bother you, but as an audio technician i notice these things! u can try if u have skype using the test call talk in the top and then bottom and you'll see the top is louder when its played back.
I went back to stock and the mic worked at the bottom as it should.. maybe there's a fix for this floating around? I have the Verizon S3 but if anyone notices this i would love to know its not just me!!
On masta's CM12 nightlies, I'm having an issue with data between flashes. When I dirty flash a nightly over the previous one, the phone refuses to connect to mobile data, even though everything is apparently fine. Anyone else have this issue?

You try turning airplane mode off then back on? Make sure your mobile network is set to lte or 3g and not global.
