has anyone experienced the clock changing itself by going ahead an hour or two by itself. it's done that to me twice since i update to ei22, and have no idea how to fix it. it's annoying.
Works fine for me. You can go to settings, date and time, and set the time manually. I use automatic and it works fine.

Clock issue from Sprint Towers
I have had this issue on and off, so it is not just you. I had it on EC05 all the way to EI22. My wife has it as well on her unmodded, unrooted, completely 100% bone factory Nexus S (in case anyone thought is was from modifications).
I think the issue comes from the Sprint towers, specifically WiMax. I only have the issue after I have been using 4g. I have not played with my wife's phone enough to test it, but called Sprint and they said something like "you aren't the first to complain, we are looking into it". The did ask me if my phone was at all modified.
I think it has a lot to do with where you are as well. I am right on the edge of a timezone (between CST and EST) and sometimes my phone hits the EST tower. If I pull the time from the tower I have this problem intermittently.
Good luck.
are u goin in and out of roam? if so might be changing something around possibly
no, i don't go in and out of roam. and i odin back to eh17, and i haven't had the problem with clock since i went back to eh17. so it has something to do with ei22. now can i use eh17 rom and flash or odin another modem? is that possible? or will there be any complications? the modem is the kernel right? (sorry, still a noob in the learning process)
by the way, i do appreciate everyones help. thankyou very much.
Modem and kernel are different beasts. Not sure if you can Odin the EH17 modem after you upgrade to EI22 and new ROM. I did run EC05 on an EF02 ROM, and EF02 modem on an EC05 ROM.

I'm currently running blazer 4.1 with fc07 modem and gunslinger kernel. No matter what Rom I use, gb or ics, as well as testing with different modems, my gps will lock the first couple times but after coming out of a long sleep it won't lock at all. I've tried gps status with no luck, as well as tried the el29 gps fix when I was running that modem. The only thing that seems to work is booting into recovery and clearing cache and dalvik. This will get my gps to lock until my phone goes into another long sleep, then back to nothing. Does anyone know of any other fixes I could try?
Sent from my Blazing fast Epic 4G Touch
Have you cleared AGPS? Also try using a different kernel.
I've tried every combination of everything. I just reboot and that never fails to work. A little annoying, but, no big deal.
I figured it was just a bug in the ICS leaks. Mine also does the same.
Yes, I've reset agps and downloaded through gps status but nothing helps. I'll try a different kernel next, but even when I was on the ics roms and using the stock kernels it would do the same thing.
Sent from my Blazing fast Epic 4G Touch
I had gps lock issues too, but after trying most modems I found one that doesn't seem to have any problems. Make sure you update your profile and prl after flashing modems /kernels

Sounds like u might just have a hardware problem and need a new phone. My first phones GPS was awful and wouldn't lock and my replacement is perfect. Trust me Samsung phones are all different. My epic touch is different than yours and so on. Take it to sprint and get another one.

Never had a problem with a lock on any GB Roms with any kernel or Modem...Ever since I flashed ICS Roms tho...is when it started...None of the (GPS) programs to improve locking would work...The last two leaks for ICS which would be FC06 and FCO7 I've been gettin locks...So its not a hardware problem...One sure way to get it to work is to restore a GB Rom with EL29 get a lock leave GPS Open boot into Recovery and restore a Nandroid Backup for the ICS Rom you were on...Open GPS and you will lock... this worked every time...But now since the last two leaks of the two previous ones I mentioned I haven't had a problem...So its either the Modem or the Kernel...I expect the Modem...The problem is on here a lot of people haven't had locking issues with GPS whether they are on ICS or GB...(Go Figure...)
If your not on ICS its hardware.... I had the same issue till I traded the phone in......new phone GPS works perfect on all GB Roms

My GPS worked at one time, but not at all since ICS, and MAYBE the last two revisions of GB. Tried every trick in the book, even goong back to old modems. Hoping this is addressed on software soon, or I may turn the phone in. Not a dealbreaker, but a huge PITA, I do use it somewhat often. Then there's the principle of a defective product.

I also thought it is not a big deal until I took the bike at 11:30 pm for a ride and (I know this sounds dumb) but I got lost and when I tried to reboot, the battery decreased suddenly from 50 something to only 7%. I had to work my ass as quickly as possible to reach some place I know before it dies completely on me, hahaha...

I have GPS issues on my stock EL29. It was working previously but then I installed the ICS leaks and my GPS stopped working. Went back to complete stock and its still not working. Bummer.
After doing a full wipe and install of the stock rooted el29 tar, I finally got gps to lock successfully multiple times. I left gps locked and flashed blazer 4.1 and all is still good. Do you think its safe to do an advanced restore of data in recovery or should I just restore everything manually?

Hey guys,
Not sure what to do about this. Unless someone has a better answer, I'm betting that the radio on my phone is dead.
Today, when I left work, I noticed that I was getting a phone signal, but my evdo data wasn't working. Turns out that wimax worked though. But then I ended up someplace where the wimax signal wasn't consistent, so I tried switching back to 3g, but no dice.
So, then I tried booting into the fc09 flashable boot utility to see if I could update profile, etc., but when I did, there was no mobile network at all, and since then I can't get the radio to recognize a signal at all. I have 4 working Sprint phones around the house, but my epic is the only one not working.
So, since I was there anyway, I tried accessing the hash/dialer codes for ##data# and see if I could reset the radio. But, the msl that I had written down for this phone didn't work. When I tried running connectbot to look it up in fc09, it crashed. When I rebooted into cm9, and looked it up there, there was no entry for ril.msl
I guess I could get the msl from sprint and try again. But I thought I would check here for a suggestion from the best community on the planet first. =)

This may sound like it has nothing to do with the modem, but when was the last time you wiped formatted data/ factory reset? I had your issue a while ago, and for some reason formatting data fixed it for me.

Your baseband version is unknown so the only way to fix it is to get the ns4g modem to stick or switch back to the fc09 modem, i use the fc09 modem and it is a lot more stable than the ns4g one, I would reccomend that one. To flash back to it all you need to do is flash a kernel for fc09 and flash the modem in odin and you should be done

I've been using the ns4g modem since October with no problems. I'll try reflashing again.

Well, how about this. I haven't reflashed the modem or anything yet, and now my cdma radio is working again. Hmmmm. I'll have to outside a little later and see if the evdo will work as well.

Hey all, I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what's going on with my phone/service. First off I hope this is the correct forum since none of them officially address the US Cellular version of the S3.
So what is happening is that my device seems to only want to connect to 3G. I am running the latest nightly for CM 10.1. It all started last week while I was in the twin cities on data roaming for a few days. On my drive back to Wisconsin I notice I would go in and out of 4G service.. by the time I hit home I was on solid 3G service. This was last Friday. I knew there was some work going on the towers in the area as my brothers 4G service started working on Sprint. I just assumed it was something to do with that.
By Sunday and still on 3G, I called tech and they did everything under the sun to try to get me back on 4G to no avail. They ended up sending me a new phone. When the new phone arrived on Tuesday I did a factory reset on the old phone just to clear everything before sending it to them and I noticed it went back on to 4G. This was on the stock ROM, rooted still.
So I switched the phone over to the new one and sure as hell, comes up in 4G. I replaced the recovery and restored a backup I had.. phone pops up.. 3G. :crying:
I did a factory reset a few times and nothing.. still would only come up in 3G mode. I then restored a backup I had for the stock ROM and what do you know.. 4G. Flashed a fresh download of the stable 4 snapshot.. 3G.. then I did a factory reset and what do you know .. 4G.. reboot the phone.. back on 3G.. Tried AOKP.. 3G..factory reset.. 3G.. Back to CM 10.1 nightly.. 3G.. factory reset.. 4G.. reboot.. 3G.
I cannot figure out what the hell is going on.. it clearly isn't hardware as it's now happened on two phones. I thought it might have had to do with being on data roaming for a few days so I waited until the data billing cycle finished (the 6th) but no luck.
I'm at wits end.. I will try anything at this point to get it working again with CM/AOKP.. doesn't matter.. just want my 4G back!
Your phone does not have 4G, It has HPSA.
On AOSP/AOKP, your connection will show up as 3G until it's being used. Let's see some speedtests.
Don't go by what it says in the ststus bar. What does it say inder Settings > About Device > Mobile Network type?
Now go start a large download, like a rom or something. While its downloading check again and post what you see.

Speeds
Thanks for the quick responses guys..
First thing was my status bar was showing 4G for about a year.. it was just recently I started having the issue. I used to get about 20Mb/sec down and now I'm getting about 800Kb-1.5Mb. It's clearly much slower than it was.
And the network type is CDMA - EvDo rev A:6
Try going under Settings, More Settings, Mobile Networks, and try a different network mode.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
Its selected as LTE/CDMA/EvDo. The only other option is CDMA/EvDO. I think it's set correctly.
What about Network Operators? Have you tried checking or trying a different one?
Sorry, I just don't know much about the usc model.
What is the model# btw.

Not sure what you mean by network operators but the CDMA subscription is set to RUIM/SIM (which it should be) and the System Select is on Automatic and not Home Only.
Model is SCH-R530U
Under mobile networks you can manually search for and then select an operator.
Judging by your model number, you will likely find more and better help and probably others with your phone in the Verizon forum. (Possibly Sprints, but most likely Verizon)

Thanks. I think I found the answer.. some code in CM 10.1 was causing the NV to lose it's information. A code change was put in to prevent that from happening.. I just need to go back to stock and flash back to CM.

Everything I've read involves going back to stock, factory reset, and reflashing. Is there any way to resolve this without reverting to stock? Or is that the only way? - Does it need to be unrooted? And also, one thing I was curious about, I have a stock backup, would flashing that, and then reflashing to a current CM backup do anything, or does it need to be a clean flash?
I would go totally back to stock and start over. It wouldn't even take more than an hour to do everything.

Yup, if you're having problems, taking shortcuts often result in more problems and more time involved than just starting over clean.

I was having the same exact issue on CM10.1 RC5 -- called US Cellular and eliminated everything but CM causing the issue. Flashing back to an earlier version of CM, trying RC2 first.

I'm sure this question has been answered b4 and I'm sorry. So just hear me out. I've had problems over the past week with getting my phone to receive SMS and calls. I can make calls but I'm not able to receive them. I was on the phone with the sprint the other night and they were doing all these things to try and fix it. They had me do dial pad codes and my phone did not respond to those. They had me send some SMS messages to myself the text went through but didn't go back to my phone. And when I reflashed the modem and rom on Sunday afternoon I lost 3g I used to get almost 5-6 bars in my house on 3g and now I barely get 1 bar. I am on Stock Gb27 rooted stock kernel but I was on agats Gb27. I need help I would like to avoid getting a new phone. Thank you in advanced

i dont think the ics dialer idea would work...you can keep trying different modems and see what happens or tell sprint that they suck and demand an airave..they will probaly charge you for it..
As for which phone to get...there is no way for me to answer that man...But i'll tell you this. When i get my next phone it will be the water/dust resistent S4..But i dont see a new phone helping the signal..
You could change you're prl to a roaming one..there are guides here and there online..But this only works for sprint not boost..If you're on sprint..a custom prl would be my move..

Sorry..i seen you have signal now..ive been jumping around and helping others in about 3 different forums. If you're problem is just sms or mms. I would wipe the cache for the sms app in app manager. Then boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache.Reboot. If it is still wonky..try checking you're apn settings..if they are wrong.change them and reboot.
Should I just look online to see if they're wrong.
