I live in a crappy reception area, so my phone beeps after each time it lose/gains service. Does anyone know what the file name is so I can delete it? I have searched through system/media/ui and it isn't located in there. I have already searched and the best answer I have found is that it could be deeply tied into the system somewhere. There was also an answer saying that by turning data roaming gaurd off that it would stop the beep but it did not work for me.

You might as well be asking where is Jimmy Hoffa or Amelia Earhart. This has been plaguing Epic users since they came out. So far no one has found how to remove it. I myself went through every file with root explorer and sound player to hunt it down with no success.

While it doesn't relate to the problem at hand, they've known where Amelia Earhart is for ~60 years. They found her plane and half her skeleton in the 50-60s.

I am currently having an issue with my phone calls. Anyone who I call cannot hear anything I say. I'm told that I sound extremely distorted and muffled. However, I am able to use Google search voice commands just fine. So it isn't the microphone itself. I am using Psychos Cm9 9.1, but I have the same problem when I restored my backup of MIUI 2.4, so I'm guessing it's not the ROMs either. I read something about changing my settings to something called EVRC-B, but l the methods I have tried to get to the menu to change the settings haven't worked.
Any input would be appreciated.

or he or she is holding the phone against their chin, or there's lint stuck in the Mic hole, or their friends are jerks. Lots of possibilities...

I used a voice recorder app, and I sound fine. It is only through calls.
I admit I'm kind of a noob since I mainly mess with ROMs, so I could easily be wrong here, but could it perhaps be the radio...?

That is exactly where I would be looking now. I personally find the 1111 radio to be the best. Results vary though. Worth trying a couple at least to see what works for you.

Here you go.
make sure to read the instructions. You don't flash it like a rom. Don't forget to remove it from the sd after you're done or you'll regret it (briefly).
So the link on that page for 1111 didn't work. The 4shared page wasn't available.I couldn't find it on Google since all the links were for a multiupload page that directed me to some other site. I downloaded 1.09.01.0312 instead, read the instructions, and got confused. What is the Android SDK folder? I went into hboot and updated that way. I called my girlfriend, who had the biggest problem with my phone call quality, and she said it was extremely better. So hey, it worked! Problem solved!
Thanks for your help, I appreciated it.
You cant change EVRC in an AOSP ROM - but you can switch back to a stock ROM (Sense 2.1) and any changes you make will stick.
Even if you ask your phone to use the EVRC-B codec, there is no guarantee that the tower will process the request, as that codec uses more bandwidth. Dropped calls and such can (and probably will) occur because of the fight for bandwidth.
On the stock Verizon ROM dial ##778# - enter six zeros and you will find the menu to make changes. Be sure to commit modifications.
Hi everyone I have a flashed samsung galaxy S3 (Sprint Bad ESN) on Page plus.... everything works,, talk, text, 3G data, however my problem is whenever I put the phone in the charger... the phone network signal stops working (I cant get any calls or texts), and it goes back to normal after I unplug it from the charger... does anyone know why this happens..? I heard it may be some kind of bug where when Samsung S3 is connected to old verizon towers it does that.. does anyone know a fix to this? it seems to be similar to this issue http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/104803 Also , the phone is rooted... running 4.1.1 ( I had to downgrade in order to get my MSL)..

Dang. Try turning off the connection optimizer or remove it altogether
I've seen this exact issue before...not trying to slam you, but search and you'll most likely find the thread i saw a while back where the OP was eventually able to fix it. I think it was the connection optimizer though.
EDIT: Search on XDA only

If you remove it completely the mobile networks menu will FC, so you'll be stuck on whatever network mode you were on when it was deleted

I have the exact same issue where my cell reception is SEVERELY limited when plugged into the charge. It fluctuates from No-network to 0-bars. When it shows 0-bars sometimes it lets me make calls or send texts, but calls will drop quickly and texts will sometimes fail. But as soon as I remove from charger, it goes back to 3-bars in my house, and works just fine.
I have even tried using usb cables with ferrite cores on both ends thinking it may have been an interference issue, but that didn't do a thing.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sprint Galaxy S3 on flashed to PagePlus
Benn running MOAR v2.2 for a few days and love it. But I've noticed something when wifi is turned on. If I'm on the wifi settings screen, I can see it scanning about every 5-6 seconds for new wifi signals, even though I'm signed into my home router with a good signal.
Network notification is turned off. I'm running the stock kernel.
Couldn't find anything in the moar thread about this.
Wondering if it's just me or if others also have this happening but just haven't noticed? Because you wouldn't know unless you're on the wifi settings screen with wifi turned on.
Can anyone verify this?
Any ideas on how to make it stop constantly scanning?

Well, this has nothing to do with your rom or kernel...thats just how the wifi is implemented. And you cant turn it off, unless you want to use wifi at all that is, this is to make sure you still have wifi access and to update the wifi networks that show up listed
You can make the scan interval longer by setting the "wifi_supplicant_scan_interval" (or something along those lines) to a higher value in your build.prop (located at /system/build.prop)

Wow, this is frustrating. After half a year of thinking that Sprints network sucks and suffering through terrible connections I finally fixed my issue. After an ice storm this week I was getting nothing but a slow 3g connection. Tonight I was digging through ##data# settings and switched the network from "hybrid mode" to "cdma/evdo/lte mode" and the thing connects giving me 1.1 mb/s for download speeds. I thought I was going to have to force LTE only to be able to connect but I have not dropped back to 3g since switching over to this. I wish I would have done this months ago but toggling airplane mode worked to give me my 4g back so I didn't really worry about it.
If I remember from the epic touch days when you mess around with that it doesn't allow you to send MMS or make calls I think. Might be different now.

I wish my issue was that simple. I have all the towers in my area NWed to 4G LTE, but the one next to my house. They skipped that one. Its like a gap, they won't be fixing anytime soon. My LTE speeds are ok, next to one side of my house.. but thats about it.

Back on topic, OP have you had any issues with SMS/MMS since you did this tweak in the ##data# settings?
Same here with sprint's reception in my area and probably 70% of where I usually go out to. My friends have at&t and Verizon and they just blow away speed tests compared to sprint. I'm thinking of giving this a shot when I have some free time

This has me intrigued. Sometimes I have issues with MMS, and it would be great if I could get all MMS messages that are sent to my phone (stupid group messaging...) to also go to an email box as well.

Sorry it took me a couple days to reply. I wanted to make sure to put it through all the paces. I have had nobody tell me they weren't able to reach me. This has actually been an improvement for me because while I was at home and would receive a phone call I would only hear the ring for about 5 seconds before it sent them to the voicemail. Phone calls are ringing right in now. One thing that happens is I get "darth vader" sounding either on my end or their end after a ten minute conversation or so. Although that happened before I changed this setting when I was stuck on 3g. Network pangs I guess. I am more than happy to call somebody back to have a steady 4g connection. All SMS/MMS questions do not apply to me because of how I use my phone. With google voice those are both going through data instead of messaging in its traditional sense. I LOVE google voice and the extensions to messaging that it provides me like being able to use it on wifi when I have 0 connectivity. I prefer typing out messages through the browser if I am at home because my stupid fingers have problems with hitting the wrong button on touch screen keyboards. Sorry for sounding like an advertisement for GV, lol. Nobody has my real sprint number... I use the GV number so I have extremely easy portability between providers when I decide to move. No mass messages to people with my new number that they might glance over.
Anyway, Hopefully other people have success with what I tried here.
Another thing I am wondering because of people saying they had different settings input. I should have mentioned in the OP that I am currently on TPR 3.12. Are the people who have a different option on a different rom?
Anyone else having troubles with this happened on my note 3 too
I've edited my APN nothing its very spotty works maybe 50% of the time
Well a few thing. And it a pain in the ass. If they don't have it set up right on t mobile ur screwed. It took me calling 5 times to get someone on the line who knew their job. Setting is hidden on their system. So they need to know location. I had same issues till I fought with them. Now it works.
