Got my first LOS today. I've had the phone for about a month. Yesterday i rooted using the autoroot method so i didn't mess with the Kernel or anything so i'm not sure if it's coincidence or what. Just letting you guys know.

I've had my phone for about a month and a half or so... I just got my first "official" LOS (the little "no" sign) on Thursday last week. I rooted with the Autoroot about 2 weeks ago so I don't think there is any connection.
I've had "ghost" LOS a few times, though, where the phone wouldn't send or receive text or make a call. I still showed "bars" however...
Now that I've had an LOS, I think I'll try a ROM or two while wating for ICS or CM7/9.

For the record, I had a LOS two days ago, haven't had one since. Im also drinking a Monster Rehab, good stuff man.
had tons of LoS when i was rooted(for about a month) unrooted yesterday and have had full bars ever since then, may on drop 1 bar every now and then but besides that i've had no problems
Had my second one today. Trying send a message it went from 3g with full bars, to no 3g, to the bars going down slowly, to the no symbol. Had to reboot, and it seemed to happen after uploading 20 pics to Facebook.

great...another los thread
This phone has some great hardware but I've experienced LOS even before my phone was rooted. It happens about once per week for me, on average.
Just got my first I after I rooted. Sucks balls.

I rooted using the non-ODIN method as soon as I got home from Sprint with my Epic Touch. Stock kernel, stock ROM, I just wanted to be able to run Adfree and a couple other root only apps.
I've only had one LOS, that was yesterday, about a week after getting my phone.
What I noticed about my LOS was that I was in my basement, I had NO bars then all the sudden I lost signal because it legitimately wasn't there. My HTC EVO 4G does this in the basement from time to time too and couldn't roam either.
Anyway, I went upstairs and left to run to the store but the phone never got signal back until I did a full reboot as where my EVO would/does.
No big deal. Nothing that has warranted me installing viperboys LoS mod yet or anything.
So far this phones been pretty trouble free.
This thread is fun, it's like a special ed Twitter, only much much slower.

I've updated my PRL and profile several times. My old phone was slow too. Could something be wrong with my account?

It could be your area. Try testing in different locations. If it's still slow, then it may be your account.
Sometimes if you use a lot of data, there is some evidence to suggest sprint may throttle you.
The other thing could be your phone. If you have a lot of processes going, even ones that don't use data, it can still affect the phones ability to work properly.
I would try ruling those out and then call Sprint.

There is a thread for this already, a lot of people are having this same problem, including me. It started around November, when before, I would constantly get at least 1500kbps down and up, as both my home and work are less than a block from a tower.
After one day for some reason, I can NEVER get anything above 100kpbs, and it usually doesnt work at all. I have done everything, and sprint, stupidly, thinks that its a hardware problem every time, and since November, they have given me 5 brand new evo's. ALL have the exact same problem. I'm no expert, but 5 brand new phones dont all have the same problem. I have called CS MANY MANY times, and they refuse to check their end, saying every time that "our network is fine".
Whats weird, every friend I have on sprint, their phones are fine, even 3 year old phones. Whats even weirder, my friend with an evo, and the evo's in the sprint store all are fine. But with this thread on here, and a long thread on AF, there seems to be an isolated issue with a lot of people.

Well you can count me in as an isolated issue. My 3G has been fine for like 2 years now, and all of the sudden, I'd say the past month or more, total crap. It's taking me about 5 minutes or more to download a 2mb app update on the market. 4G is still good. I really wish I knew what was going on. I do the same Profile and PRL updates like the OP daily.
Well its definitely not my 3g being "slow". I am just not connecting to it. Qik errors and says I am not connected to 3g. My data status says 1x RTT for my connection. I need to call sprint.
So I just got my Evo, and out the box it already had the Anti-Root OTA Update installed... well she took hers to sprint today since she couldnt get Netflix to work, and they told her there was an update availible to fix that. so she downloaded it on hers and now netflix wirks great for her.
So she comes home, and grabs mine and updates it for me... trying to prove to me that she knows how to do some things... Now my software number is 4.24.651.1... yay... wonder when THIS one is gonna be cracked so i can finally root this thing!
sorry dude the root method isnt availabile yet but devs and unrevoked are workin on it i think they will have root method out by october bro
Leave her...
I believe you can flash the ruu back to 2.2 and root.

You can't be serious?!? Within 6 days people can find a way to root the EVO 3D, but the Gingerbread update that's been out for a month, can't be cracked?
I'm in no situation to get upset, I guess. I don't know a thing about how to do it, but I had to replace my rooted phone due to a cracked casing, and I just received the new one 2 days ago.
I'm missing all the goods....like Synergy.
when they think they know it all, let them do the hard work

Originally the Evo was rooted before it actually launched (thanks toast!). HTC has gotten better locking the Evo down since then.
Does this give you free access to her purse now? LOL
nm....Frustrated with Spint
Tell her that you have made a choice to leave her for your phone. and you want to have great sex with the HDMI port on your phone. lmao!!!!! Cause we all know it is that small since you can't tell her NOT to touch your phone. lol! but then again, girls will be girls. they'll do what they want anyway because they actually think they know what they are doing because some idiot at sprint told her that. lmao. anyway. hahahhahahahahaha. The only reason I root is to use the SO CALL FREAKING 10 DOLLARS a month they are stealing from us. Use as much internet as I can. hahahahahaha
Every one of you who would even joke about your wife the way you are should be ashamed of yourself. As for the OP, you should be kicked hard in the junk for such a disrespectful thread title.
this entire thread is making me laugh my ass off. hahahahhaa

I'm most likely going to be getting this phone sometime in the near future and wanted to ask if anyone noticed any niggles or other nonsense that sometimes happens with Samsung Android phones (i.e. roaming notification not caring about no longer displaying the message, GPS issues, etc.)
Just quick reviews, mostly I'm looking for the little things that bug people.
Thanks
Bloatware on Stock ROM. That the Cons.of this phone. Custom ROM and you will sell your TV and your computer. Never posted using the computer after GS3.

+1, had a number of smartphones in the past, this one clearly blows all of my expectations away. The only issue I've had is sporadically losing connectivity to my wifi and I'm not sure if it's something I've loaded or a bug from Samsung/Sprint. My kids have the Evo LTE and Iphone 4S and I wouldn't trade for the world.
The best phone yet IMO, yes the only con I have found is data connectivity every once and awhile. LG8 radio seems better than any other. Been running jellybomb rom, superfast. Fastest phone I've owned so far, and I've had um back to the HTC Hero.

Best phone I've ever owned with regard to... everything. There's a reason it's the hottest-selling phone right now.

Try moving your router as far away from other electronics. As for the phone...I'm really loving it. With an extended battery( Hyperion 4200mah) in it, I'm getting almost two days off charger with 47% still left as I type this.

Its the best choice, my only gripe is maybe that I wanted quad core to dual boot Ubuntu and do my best to ditch all use of laptop or desktop. ...but ..then again despite all the quads having nicer gpus even the a15 based s4krait kinda disappointed next generation I suppose
This is kinda a crappy year for the fact they are transitioning production processes I'm really hoping the next exynos generation skips a15 all together
But yeah long story short ...it beats everything we have in the US market

It must be your device. I didn't have a single issue as reboot, boot loop etc. Now I've had a few of FCs but with apps that FCed on my other phones too.
LOS was much worse on GSIII for me, I had to turn off and on data to get it back or get 3G instead of 1xRTT quite often. Very little of such LOS issues on my new Note II.
I've had some but updating PRL usually resolved it.
Also it only happened while I was driving (truck driver - all over the country) so I can understand there could be some handoff issues with sprint towers. It never happened yet while I was stationary.
Btw...You paid $400????
I had terrible LOS issues on my GS2, the device was terrible. I haven't seen a single LOS with my Note 2. Every area that I had LOS or data issues with the GS2 is solid on the Note 2. Not a single boot loop, reboot, etc issue at all. Maybe a couple of 3rd party app FCs, but nothing from the stock apps.
Sorry you got a lemon, return it and have it replaced. You are still in the 14 day window.

I kept GSII for exactly 8 hours! The LOS and signal strength were unacceptable. Just plain ridiculous. I couldn't make a call from inside of my house. I could only imagine how it would "perform" if I took it on the road.
I got my S6 Edge about a week and a half ago. Right away I noticed ABYSMAL LTE speeds. Like, less than 500k. After tinkering around a bit, I finally decided to try a hard/factory reset. That *seemed* to have alleviated the issue, but only for a few days. Now Im back down to terrible speeds. At my house I took my wife's S5 and my phone side by side, made sure both phones were using the same server (using Ookla's speedtest app), and ran 5 tests. Every single one her phone got 4-6Mbs, mine got <100k, in some cases .02Mbs. Here at work, with every phone Ive had (3 I think) Ive consistently gotten 8-20Mbs downloads, depending on the day. Today, .23/.18/.28/.09. This is with full bars and LTE. Uploads are great...5-8Mbs.
Phone is stock, not rooted, 5.0.2.
Any ideas?

They arent. Another TMo phone is getting 8-15 here. Its the phone. And network issues in 3 different areas for 10 days is unlikely.

I know what your going through. My best advise is do a clean restore and if that doesn't help then wait for the new update as it updates the modem as well. I have complain about this before.

Theres a guy in the forums who got the update and provided screen shots. There you can see the base being updated. I'm trying to get my hands on 5.1.1. Been trying around to poke and see if I can get the OTA on a clean device and dump it. Will provide update tomorrow. I have 3 T-Mobile S6 Edge devices. So one hopefully can get it.
