[Q] I randomly lost service and I can't get it back. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I was on YouTube for a while, and I noticed I lost all bars and everything. I still have WiFi connections obviously, but I cannot get service back. I've reflashed my ROM, tried a different ROM, powered down my phone and took the sim card out and put it back in. I'm not not sure what to do.
EDIT: It seems like it's working now, but I have an average of one bar. Any help would still be appreciated. Thanks.

It was weird man, one night about 2 weeks ago here at work my signal wouldn't work at all, nothing I did changed it. I changed modems and roms nearly all night. Then an hour before my shift ended the service magically was restored. It was really strange. I'm not sure what to tell you on this, I did some research and looked around but found nothing on it

My girlfriend claimed she had the same issue that night as me. She is on straight talk though. Maybe a coincidence, I'm not sure. But my signal is weak now. 1 bar all the time. I haven't left the house yet so I'm not sure about anywhere else

Just a suggestion but try going somewhere else with the phone other than just your house

Same issue here. I called both verizon and htc... they gave me the same answer. It is a roll out issue. Apparently because its in phases... whatever. My first tbolt came down fine; this is a replacement for a broken power button and now nothing. but at least I still have free tether! HA HA fail/win you decide.
Drop down to 1X and then search for it. Once you find the update, switch back to 3G/4G to expedite the download. Worked on my girlfriend's Thunderbolt.

Yep! i was rooted up until yesterday. While rooted I checked for & successfully detected it. But I rejected. Did a full backup using TiB and ROMManager first then unrooted. Now that I am unrooted, I cannot detect the update anymore. Been trying for 24hrs.
Just going to give up and reroot using the rooted update.

dropping to 1X doesn't work for me. However, here's how you drop to 1X:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Then go to "Phone Info"
Scroll down and choose "CDMA Only" from the Drop Down. Note the setting before you change it so as to revert later on.
Good Luck and let us know if it works for you.

Thanks Kaptain.. I gave it try and got nothing still. I'm planning on rooting soon but not just yet...
Call support and make sure the imei is correct for your device... That was my issue.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
same here... having hard time forcing the update. running stock.
rebooted, turned down to CDMA only, tried it all and doesn't work.
the first update a couple of months ago worked fine when i tuned down to CDMA only, but doesn't work this time.

couldn't you just take off the battery cover killing your 3g/4g signal???

haha, yes it does. If the battery cover doesn't sit properly, your 4g antenna doesn't work worth crap because it has contacts in it....
Reason why half of the extended battery covers don't work...
God I hope your other 3 posts are more useful...
My update came threw this morning. I am not sure if this is a coincidence but when my green light came on for a full battery charge the update came threw when I checked it .

[Q] No signal

For the past couple of days around the same time 10pm I have lost my signal and it doesn't reappear until the morning, or at least that's what happened this morning. I'm running Apex 10 and the 5.1.2 of Talon. It's very frustrating because I can't use the damn thing as a phone and I'm not even sure if the signal will come back. This just randomly started happening what could be the problem??
Thanks

Tower maintenance?
The last time I saw that on my phone was when at&t was back hauling a tower. I'd give them a call and see

Thanks, the fact that Apex is an i9000 rom seemed to be the problem, because my signal went out again tonight. I flashed Fasty III to my phone and magically I had a phone signal! Thanks again, really appreciate it!

Att data down??

Is anyone else having problems with att data services?? I just disconnected from my wifi, and it seems that att data is not working, can't browse the web
No. But I'm in Texas. Depends on the tower you are on.

Mine does the same thing. Usually if I wait just a little bit, it will come on. Never had this problem on GB. Thinking about going back until the new JB ROM gets up and running a little longer. Almost there!

Mines stock and rooted and will drop the data every once in a while even in the middle of downtown dallas. I just toggle data off then back on and it works.. I get the same issue with GPS... on 2.3.6

Issue I've noticed across multiple ROMs..

I commute by train which causes my phone to lose service. When I get back above ground where there is service, I do not get any kind of data until I wake the phone up.
Anyone else seeing this issue?

Just get a new firmware..
So aside for the two incredibly helpful posts above, is anyone else seeing this issue? This is occurring with all current radio updates.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Do you have the eifi option to turn off wifi when sleeping? I think that affects data also.
I've noticed this too, seams to only be when in deep sleep regardless of wifi/data settings. Have yet to find a solution, looked everywhere

Well I dont think we have defected devices.. My initial S3 had the same issue and was replaced... I would think a problem like this would be reported all over the place though.

Data keeps stalling

Hello, I have searched around but I haven't found anyone reporting this particular issue nor one similar enough to troubleshoot on my own based on those solutions.
I recently began noticing that I was experiencing an issue where data LTE/hspa appears connected, but no information is transmitted. If I put airplane mode off and then back on, data reconnects and all is fine until it happens again. This is occurring multiple times per day.
I am running cataclysm ROM with Franco #40 right now.
Any help would be much appreciated.

are you undervolted?
I did not attempt to undervolt so unless Franco is doing that automatically, which I am inclined to believe it is not, I do not believe so.

Not that I am aware of, it's T mobile but I typically have very good-excellent LTE coverage.

I've seen it happen on occasion. The only thing I would suggest is trying stock to see if you can reproduce.

i have tmobile as well, and had that happening to me several weeks ago. it started happening suddenly, was like that for several weeks, and stopped happening just as sudden. i think it might be an issue with tmo, or something that they are doing. anyways, putting it in airplane mode then back always fixed it for me when it did happen.
Good to know. I will call them if it continues.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Also with t mobile and had this issue suddenly start about two weeks ago. Very annoying. I do the airplane mode trick to get it working. Where are you located? I'm in Sacramento, ca

no.
bars dont turn orange, and a connection is shown. data just stops flowing. turning on airplane mode then back fixes it every time.
Same thing
I am on Metro PCS (t-mobile) and have the same issue as others. Weird thing is I only noticed after activating a replacement Nexus 5 I just received. Can't say I remember seeing this so frequently on the original (wasn't paying as close of attention though).
Probably just something up with t-mobile. Might try reflashing the radios. My original Nexus 5 updated via OTAs where as the replacement came with the 4.4.2 stock image pre installed.
