Ok im starting to go crazy now. I had a galaxy nexus that was rooted and started getting dropped calls after 30min on the dot. I thought it was something i did to the phone so i went and got an S3. rooted with liquid smooth (stable) ROM and nothing else. Now im having the same problems. Got a new sim card and still having dropped calls after 30 min. Someone please help with this I am getting so frustrated with this. Im going to activate my untouched thunderbolt and see if it follows. I really dont wanna go back to a stock ROM on the S3 cuz i do not like the layout. Again any help would be great. Thanks.

I think is a Samsung Radio issue... I don't use my SIII anymore because of it.
The S 3 radio isn't the best your location can compound the problem. I haven't experienced drop calls other than in the obvious dead zones.
I have heard the radio wasnt the greatest but 30 min exactly every time? Thats gotta be something different. Could the way i unlocked have caused this or the ROM that was installed caused this? When i had my nexus rooted, i didnt have any issues till i messed with the radio. The S3 i didnt touch the radio unless it was built into the ROM. Liquid smooth (stable).
AOSP ROMs isn't as good signal wise as the Touchwiz ROMs with few exceptions. You can test out other AOSP ROMs to see if you are having the same problems.
That was one of the reasons I went way from Liquid (and bluetooth). I'm on CleanRom 6 now, and have pretty good call quality and signal with the VRBLK3 radio. For some reason, the latest radio from 4.1.2 didn't play nice with my phone or location. If you want better signal, TW is the way to go.
So you also had 30 min dropped calls or close to it from Liquid?

No, not exactly at 30 minutes. I would experience dropped calls in specific areas, like when I was driving. I also experienced more chopping sound quality with the latest radio. Flashed back to LK3 and it is much better.
Is it 30 minutes no matter what you are doing or where you are? If that is the case, I'd do a clean install of a TW rom with the radio and rpm of your choice and see if that helps.
Gentlemen,
As the title suggests, I won't be taking long, I only have a quick question to make which I do hope it has a short and fast answer by you.
I'm no total ignorant when it comes to flashing, kernels , custom roms etc etc, I do know my way around.But I seem to have come to a dead end.
Just bought a Galaxy s3 , courtesy of verizon , second handed. The thing is, I plan on using it in Greece,
I've been reading a couple hundred posts about issues with GSM , data connections and whatever comes with it.I myself had a problem with being stuck at roaming after flashing cm 10.2 just tonight. I had to go back to stock 4.1.2 verizon to get signal back.
I hope you understand where im trying to land over here. Imagine this scenarion: Me, phone, Greece,non-stock based custom rom . Phone/text/data issues? What do you suggest? I come very confused...

For roaming on AOSP, see here if it happens again. You'll probably want to edit your APN settings for data if you already have the local sim for Greece. I don't know much more than that but you should be good there. Popping the sim in and selecting GSM should be enough for calls. Keep a TW rom on your phone in case you have issues cuz that will help you in a jam. If you aren't confident that your AOSP rom is 100% stable, which they usually aren't in some way, having a touchwiz rom like Cleanrom or Bonestock could be your alternative rom.
Almost got to the bottom of this, flashing a TW based rom is working perfectly as expected.
Thing is with AOSP based roms i only get verizon wireless as a carrier and a constant -120 dbm signal power.ALthough i can make calls, i cant text or get data.

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.
I ordered my OPO a couple of weeks ago and just received it earlier this week. My main problem is my signal strength. It regularly goes from LTE to 3G to no signal throughout the day. I came from an HTC One M7 and always had 3-4 bars on LTE with no problems. i also have AT&T's home phone service and it remains at full bars all the time. I have unlocked/rooted it along with trying different roms but I still have poor to no signal most of the time. Another thing that concerns me is the recent announcement of Cyanogen breaking off from OPO. I've searched for possible fixes for the signal issue but could not find anything that fixed the issue. Maybe I was just sent a defective device. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Unlocking and rooting, then installing custom ROMs will have no effect on signal strength. The only thing you can try on your end is to flash one of the older modems (thread in General Section) to see if that helps.
You may want to RMA the device if that doesn't help. But don't let the Cyanogen/OPO issue influence your decision. IMHO, that's not a good reason to abandon your device.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will try one of the older modems and see if that helps any. If I can't find a modem that works than I will RMA. I don't think I would abandon it just for the Cyanogen thing but I was still a little concerned about it. I just wasn't sure if that would affect the future of the device (such as OTA updates and Lollipop development). I am paranoid about silly things and just want to cover all of my bases lol.
I installed the resurrection-remix rom yesterday and i have a big problem with it.
i know the resurrection-remix is actually based on cm 12.1, the same problem happened when i had installed the cm 12.1 last month.
the problem is that sometimes my phone signal just suddenly goes out, and i have to wait for a few minutes to get the signal back, i dont know if this is the telecommunications company's problem, becuz i live in hong kong, and i am not using something like t-mobile, maybe the network is different, but i just want someone to help me fix this if it is possible
