WTF is up with my 3G?

My phone has always randomly had a little glitch. For some reason, once every so often my 3G icon just disappears and stuff like my internet and market dont work. SMS still works fine though. Normally just a reboot fixes the problem but today I had to pull the battery. This happened even when I was fully stock but now I'm running DC 3.2.3 still with the stock kernal. Any similar experiences?

Running all-stock with no root. Happens to me also.
Full bars for signal (calls and texts) but the 3G icon stops transferring. I just put the DATA widget on my homescreen and toggle it. Not really a big deal...so far.

Same things happening to me it wont connect to 3g and freezes most of the time. Just started about 2 days ago

Anyone know anything about this problem? My phone now randomly restarts even when im not using it from trying to connect to 3g im guessing. Keyboard also stops working randomly

are you running a rom?
...If you are you should try flashing a stock rooted and see if the problem still exists. If it does you may want to try to unroot, go back to stock and update everything. Then you can narrow down if it is rom/software/hardware related

Yes i am running stock rom rooted. What do you mean by update everything?

I was also running stock rooted at first. Here is a weird update I just came across though. I've installed (and uninstalled) SwitchPro, which is basically a more customizable widget than the stock power control widget, 3 times now. And every time I add the actual widget to my home screen my 3G instantly disappears.....wtf? I uninstall it and reboot my phone and it's back to normal.
I'm gonna dig in to this a bit after I get back from the gym.

I just meant that if you unroot the phone, make sure your radio's are updated to stock, update your profile and prl, then you could determine if it is hardware related or maybe you just have a bad signal?

I think he means Device Self Service. Updating your PRL, Firmware and Profile.
I forgot to mention that when my 3G becomes "sketchy" this is the 1st thing I do. After that do a soft-reset and pull the battery out.

##RTN# - enter MSL - click menu, reset.
This is the only way I've found to fix this.
It wipes out ALL of your information so make sure you are backed up and synced. It is just like getting the phone new out of the box - it will auto-activate and you should be good to go.
If you don't have your MSL, call Sprint technical support and ask for it.

Thats pretty disapointing that that seems to be the only awnser. Will try when iget back from my vacation. The problem that makes me really mad is that it reboots randomly even when the screen is off in my pocket. Any backup app recomendations?

[Q] Wi-Fi Goes to sleep. Policy: Never. Any way to fix it?

*Edit* Wi-Fi sleep policy is set to never.
It seems like the Wi-Fi goes to "sleep" on the DHD. I installed VLC Remote a little while ago, and after 1-2 minutes the controller will not work. I had to quit the app and reconnect for it to work.
I did a test by pinging the DHD from my computer while the VLC Remote was active, turned off the screen several times. It worked perfect!
I then stopped the pinging and after 1-2 minutes the VLC Remote stopped responding. I pressed the pause button several times, nothing happened.
Then I started the ping back up (the VLC Remote was still open) and after a 2-3 "Request canceled" (no ping reply back from the phone) it got a response from the ping and the VLC Remote worked again.
Is there any way to make the Wi-Fi not go to "sleep"? It's annoying me to stop/start the remote every time I want to pause the movie.
I tried turning Best Wi-Fi performance on, but that didn't help
Thanks!

select the wifi settings, then press the menu button and select advanced, change the wifi sleep policy to never and your laughing

Thanks for the reply fkofilee. It's already set to "never". Updated the original post and title with it.

I restarted the phone and did some more testing.
As long as the screen is on there are no problems (VLC Remote responds), but when I hit the on/off button on the top of the phone to turn the screen off and turn the screen back on after a couple of minutes, VLC Remote will not respond. I have to ping the phone for VLC Remote to respond again.
Any suggestions?

same here, have to disconnect/connect to wifi to get it going again. Really frustrating when my exchangesync fails. Work as a IT-administrator and have to get serverfails reported as soon as possible.

I also have this issue its so annoying. I could be connected to wifi and have bars and then go to download something from the market it will pause and when I go into network setting its says wifi is authenticating but it doesnt change so I have to turn off and back on to get it working again. I had a Iphone 3gs and never had wifi issues like this.

I don't think we have the same problem. Downloading seems fine. When I ping it (while running VLC Remote), it works fine. I can shut the screen off, turn it back on 10 min later and it works fine. It seems like it goes into a type of "sleep mode" when there is no active traffic to/from the phone.

I sent an e-mail to HTC about this problem. I'll keep you guys updated.

Dont know if you do or are into mods but if you root your phone and flash clockwork mod you could try and push a new wifi module using root explorer...or even flash a custom rom...Pretty sure this would fix it..
Depends how much you know about this stuff though..
I can help you through it if you want to...some people dont want to though and I cant blame them...

Thanks rixsta! I'm gonna do a custom ROM, but I'm gonna wait until Gingerbread is released and custom ROMs have been made for that.
Are you up for testing if this is a problem on your ROM? If so, is this fixed with a new wifi module?
*Edit* With LeeDroid 1.2 and Buzz 1,22Ghz v1.0.2 it fixed the problem! I also sent a mail to HTC and they have forwarded it to the programmers.

I'm using leedroid's Rom so can't test and I've just got it working great..but...why don't you just root with visionary and pay £2.50 for root explorer and move a new WiFi module...that's all you need..
Up to you really..you could use Apache oc kernel...you will need to s off with this method and buy setcpu from the market...if your going to be doing custom roms in the future then you will need to do this anyways...if you need help let me know...I can tell you where to get the WiFi file from...

I have the same problem too, but it only happens with the mail application and the market, while the browser and XDA app works without having to reconnect the wireless connection.

My friend has the same problem and I don't want to install a custom ROM on her phone.
Any news regarding this issue?

[Q] GS3 TMO: CM10 JB ROM + wifi calling?

Hey guys, i have a few questions
i have a tmobile gs3 and am passionately waiting for the JB OTA update. Untill then however, i would love to use CM10 JB ROM. THe only problem is that it doesnt have the tmobile wifi "built-in" app for that. So does anyone know a way for that to happen? (PM me if you know a way).
Also, currently im am using ICS and it seems like i need at least one bar of cellular coverage for wifi to work. If i am not registering a cellular network, my wifi will not work. I noticed this pretty recently and was wondering if it is like that normally. Are there apps or fixes that can allow you to use wifi if you are not registering cellular network at all (kinda like an airplane mode)?
Thanks alot
I will donate to developers if they can help me out

Don't want to be one of those people, but there are a lot of threads on it. But, pretty much, unless it has changed recently, there isn't a wifi-calling for any CM stuff yet and not sure if there will be. Some people were working on a project. There are other roms out there that do have working wifi calling though, might want to take a look at those.
Also, you don't need cell signal for the wifi calling to work.

What do u mean a WiFi built in app? Also have u tried any new radios for cell coverage? And WiFi does not need any cellular service at all

thanks for quick reply guys.
i have had cm10 jb on my gs3 and then i decided that i needed tmobile wifi calling. so once i downloaded stock ics from samsung and installed it, my wifi calling only works when i am registering the cellular network. If i dont have any bars (and wifi is connected) it won't call at all. wjat could be the fix for this?

Did you do a clean install..

Well if u flashed the stock ROM with Odin like u said let it boot up then go into stock recovery or if u have a custom recovery wipe data and caches. To get in it is the same way either way. Vol up, home, and power at same time

I just moved to CM10 a few minutes ago and personally, I don't know how I would ever go back to anything less than this. Why worry about WiFi calling when there are plenty of VoIP alternatives that use Google Voice?

can i somehow set it up so that when my tmobile number is unavailable, it redirects it to google voice? But only when my number is unavailable (as in i wouldn't want to set the redirect every time i am planning to go off service). The thing is that i go to school and i see patients all day long, and in some places i have reception and in some i dont. its very irregular and unpredictable. so if i could set it up in the way that "if unavailable, redirect to google voice" type of thing, i would be a happy camper.
Oh and also, even my google voice does not work if i am not registering a cellular network just a bit. (help with this too?)
thanks guys

im not sure what i did, but i know that i did not specifically erase any data. it just seems that wifi calling is an integral part of the firmware that any "random" data on the phone should no phase it. hmm...

Can someone confirm that CM10 JB has a option in the Phone App menu to forward a call when unreachable? I donw want to go thru the hassle of installing it if it doesnt have that option.
thanks alot guys

I'll look into this further and see what I can uncover for you. I use GrooveIP for my VoIP needs and it was a godsend when I was on the $30 plan with T-Mobile. Hopefully I can find something that will suit your needs in the process.

There should be a setting for phone forwarding just like any other OS/phone. Just change it to your GV number and should be GTG.

4.4 no mobile connection? no baseband? no IMEI? solution

It's been said a few times that SELinux settings have an effect on mobile connection on some phones, not all, but some. Mine being one of them, that theory has also been criticized, ironically by those who's phones do not suffer from the issue. Anyways, if your trying a 4.4 ROM and have no APNs, no baseband, IMEI etc grab SELinux mode changer from the market, set to Permissive and be on your way. Why or what causes it is beyond me but changing to Permissive solves it. It takes a few seconds after boot for supersu permissions, a few seconds then for your APNs to be populated and baseband, after that you will get mobile connection working.
Hope this helps someone else fighting the same issues. Here's a video showing before and after, a little wait at the APN screen the second time for them to be populated. Also, sorry for the quality, just easier to record the screen directly compared to holding a camera.

Glad it was of help, just passing on what I have read and tried to make it easier to find so made a thread for it, some of us have the issue but appears the majority do not.

I had the issue initially when installed with twrp, did it once again with cwm, worked like a charm. Good info to keep in mind though.

anybody got the apk handy they can upload? flashed the latest cm nightly not knowing it was 4.4.1, and the store won't connect via wifi for whatever reason.. i'd rather not have to do a clean install to get my phone working again.
Thanks.
Nevermind, I managed to pull it from the woman's unrooted moto x. It's here if anyone else needs it..

just out of curiosity. vAre you guys having any issues with the AOSP roms slowing down the data speeds? I know people have said for a long time since GB I think that the tw roms are much faster than AOSP I never saw that on HSPA+ but I am on simple moble and they just turnrd on their LTE and my phone gets an average of 28 down and 14 up. on tw roms but on AOKP or other AOSP roms it gets 8 up and 3 down. Like the lte is not working. Anyone else have these problems?

I love you.

Thats a lot of data. I've gone as high as half that in a couple days. But some people have been saying that it's to obvious because your phone can't possibly burn through that much data. So eventually you might get dropped for violating the terms of use agreement. Idk. This is what I've been told. Just a heads up. That's allot. Plus I fear the day they do away with unlimited data because its used as a home internet service. ... Just saying... That's alot of fuggin data for two hours on a smartphone!! Haha lmao. See if you can hit a hundred!

I tethered my g3 with a playstation 4 and downloaded a full game to see if it would let me without hitting a limit, Thanks for the heads up. Have a few games to download in coming months I'll see if I can hit 100gigs.

My phone shows no data whenever I switch it to ipv4 anybody else having that issue?

data
I set everything up just as your instructions say and so far so good! I am however using skydragon rom with there kernal as a note. What im wondering is how do i tell the difference between using data and using hotspot data? How can i be 100% sure im not going to get a enormous bill at the end of this months cycle?

If you use prime thether mod and use a butt load of data t mobile can't do anything about it. There plan says UNLIMITED DATA! I know Netflix uses a lot, so it's hard for them to figure out on what your using the data for. I've gone as far as 90gb of data last month two months and nothing.

i cant seem to get this Mod to work. i switch roms switch modems. tried both, 10m and 10c and cant get it to work switch apn to Apn to APV4 and cant get it to work. i restarted my computer, my computer connects but there is no DATA coming thru, i tried with other devices, they connect but no data!. I Gave up.

Question. Is the tethering supposed to turn off automatically if it isn't being used? Never noticed this before but lately when I'm steaming to my tablet at work using this mod, if i pause what I'm watching the tethering is turned off. I'm usually gone about 15 minutes when it happens. No biggie i guess but i never noticed this before. Thanks.
SOAB. I just saw there was an option set by default to turn off after 10 minutes. Nm my Question.

Hay there I was the one who made that rom and 1.2 is pretty much pure stock + sd card kitkat fix so it shouldn't be on the rom side. If you have any xposed modules running I bet it is the problem or outdated twrp. Try to update twrp with twrp manager from the play store and/or remove all xposed tweaks. If I can give you some advice unless you really like 10C the lonely rom you might want to find a new rom. Sadly I don't have the time and will not be able to update that rom (at least not in the next couple months). I am going to request it to be locked after I do some changes in the op.
Edit* I just remembered I have two 1.2 versions. the first 1.2 was up for about 4 hours before I took it down and turned it into 1.3 so if you have the version that has the 2g/3g/h/4g icons (no 4g lte because H is what tmobile calls 4g and lte is the only true 4g) it is now the 1.3 version and has changes that will not work with primetether. Simply dirty flash the corrected 1.2 over your current build and primetether should work. Quick link to the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/development/rom-lifes-stock-rooted-t2821821

Does any body know if this mod works with any 5.0 roms?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a version of primetether that works with the stock lollipop coming soon?

no more tethering?
Yes I also ran in to this problem last night. No matter what Rom I use, the Tmobile screen pops up when I try to access my browser. What has happened? Has T-mobile found a way to stop AOSP tethering and prime tethering?

I just tried installing SR Remix and it still doesn't work.
