Hell everyone,
I recently rooted my phone and installed LiquidSmooth on my AT&T Samsung S3. About three days into using the ROM, I notice some connection problem between my phone and AT&T's network. The problem I experienced was I wouldn't receive texts or calls from other people even though the phone is connected to the network. When I do receive the texts, they come all at once at the same exact moment. Which means my notification ringtone going off like crazy.
This problem usually occurs at night around 9-12PM. I also experienced the same exact problem when I first started using CM10, the stable build. The one thing I also noticed after installing both ROM's is there's no voicemail number. I had to manually add a voicemail number, which is my own number, right?
I decided to unroot my phone and run Samsung's newly released JB update, which totally blows besides the battery life. As of right now with the unrooted phone and Sammy's updates, everything is running fine.
Thanks very much, I appreciate any help I get from you guys. And, I do want to apologize in advance if this question had already been asked. I tried searching, but couldn't find anything on the subject. If you guys need anymore details, please do not hesitate to ask. I will try my best to provide as much detail as possible. Thanks once again.
I've been having a problem with receiving texts sometimes and I recently noticed that it happens with call apparently. The issue is that I'm texting people back and forth and then all of a sudden I wont receive messages for a long time (couple hours). At some point, someone's text message will push through all of the other ones all at the same time. Sometimes when I assume i'm having this issue, I will send a text to myself and it will push the other ones through as well. Recently though I was made aware that during this "outage", I also was not able to receive phone calls at all. The signal is strong at all times (3-4 bars). Also happens when I'm home all day and not changing locations when it will suddenly stop getting texts and calls. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I restarted the phone and changed cell towers with the Airplane mode many times and the issue continues to happen at random times. It is really inconvenient. Suggestions?
Technical details: I use the stock 4.1.1 Rom that comes with AT&T S3. I do have LTE in my area.
And now it has happened 3 days in a row but at different times of day. This is a huge problem for me as I use my phone a lot. Any help would be appreciated
You still have your IMEI number via settings -> about phone -> status?

TRy making sure yiur not in airplane mode. i was stuck in airplane for a week ._____________.:cyclops:
That's weird. Re-seat your SIM card, if that doesn't do anything then take a trip to your nearest AT&T store/dealer and have them swap out your SIM card and see if it still occurs after that.
I had a similar problem a while back and it happened to be a network problem with my carrier. Gave them a call and all is fine now.

It happend to me too. I went to att store and get new sim. No problem for last 15-20 days. Looks like i got stronger signal too.
Just to give anyone interested in this an update:
I went to the AT&T store today and told them my issue so they told me to go to the nearest AT&T device support center (which was really far away). People over there told me they heard about this issue many times over the past couple of months. The guy working there had a S3 and said he has the same problem. They received an email from the higher-ups this morning specifically talking about this random outage thing I have and that they are currently working on it. They were told to not exchange phones or sim cards because of this since it wont help. The issue involves a combination of Network and Jelly Bean software problems and happens on all new LTE devices that have Jelly Bean from AT&T. They told me to check periodically if there is a solution.
I guess I just gotta wait. Unless someone recommends a ROM that is not based on the latest AT&T jelly bean?
Bumping it up, both me and my wife have had this happen. From what im read its a pretty widespread deal.
Anyone know of a work around at least until they fix it?
Keep us updated
Same problem here - switched from Verizon to AT&T last month and started noticing this problem a few weeks ago. Back then a Google search didn't find much on it, but this thread looks promising.
Just to add my two cents: I'm on a rooted S3 with task650's AOKP (4.2.1) build 12.23.2012 (link). Made sure to flash the modem for my phone (I747UCLI5 from here). Problem: phone randomly won't receive calls or texts. Sometimes calling someone will fix it.
I read somewhere that on AT&T, calls and texts are received over 3G and sometimes phones have difficulty switching from 4G. Anyone know if this is true?
Do a full wipe /system, /data, /cache, /dalvik cache. And your problems should be gone 9 times out of 10 that's usually everybodys problem

Seems to still be working fine.
I started a thread on this also and just yesterday received some info from AT&T tech.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123974
guys,
it is an ATT issue,
here is a temp solution for a fix:
1) With phone on, take off back cover and press your SIM card so it releases from the spring. It won't come all the way out as it's blocked by the battery. This seems fine - I didn't bother trying to force it out as I didn't want to break anything...
2) Once you see the message that the SIM card is removed, go to the dialer and dial *#2263#
3) You should see a menu with band selections. The current setting is "Automatic". If you switch to "GSM All", you will be EDGE (2G). If you switch to "WCDMA All", you will be on HSPA+ (3G, though AT&T and others call it 4G).
4) Press the SIM card back into place until it clicks. For whatever reason the phone will not recognize it until you reboot. Upon reboot you should see your new setting in effect
please see, post, comment here:

First of all I searched and didn't see anything on this, sorry if I missed it.
I am having a issue with my S3, it seems it randomly stops receiving calls and sms. The phone is only a week old and it has happened twice already.
A simple restart seems to fix this issue however I would prefer to have a device that I don't need to worry about restating daily to ensure I am getting my calls.
AT&T
4.1.1
Non Rooted - UCDLK3
Any help would be great & thanks in advance.
you didn't search properly, as there is a thread about this already. it is a known issue on AT&T's end, so everyone experiencing this problem needs to wait for them to fix it.
It is a problem with LTE service, using only 3G is the only current fix to this.

Just happened yesterday out of nowhere. On AT&T, but there's no HD call coverage here in Honolulu, so that wasn't the problem. People calling me goes straight to voicemail, but I can make calls and texts and receive texts. Thought it was a rom issue, so I did a clean flash on the most recent SD rom, but no luck. Kind of out of ideas now

There was a rash of posts by folks not receiving calls/texts all over the AT&T forum a month or 2 ago. Pretty sure that instance was network related. If you didn't change anything on the phone (like you said "out of nowhere") I'm guessing the same is true in this case.

i had the same. they enabled HDVoice which is their voice over LTE branding. It doesnt work with non AT&T roms. I got into with them on the phone. they said they couldn't turn it off. i called in a few times. it sounded like complete BS, but the tier 2 person created a tag & escalated it up. It just started working a day later.
you can go into your phones hidden settings for the time being & turn off 4G. It sucks, but at least your calls come through
Hi, all.
Experiencing an issue that is getting seemingly worse by the day.
Pixel 2 XL, stock, up to date, using stock Messages app: MMS (usually in context of group messages) are randomly not coming through. At times, I see a prompt to 'download' the message, which will fail....other times, I don't get them at all (I know this b/c my wife and I will be on the same group convo and I won't see half of what she does). Mostly not getting messages from iPhone users, regardless of carrier.
There's a thread in the AT&T community about it....and I've tried it all. Manually inputting the APN info, resetting network/bluetooth/wifi, turning off enhanced LTE, restarts, resets, wifi on/off....nothing helps at all.
The issue started a few weeks ago, and there seems to be an increasing number of AT&T users experiencing this. I strongly doubt it's a hardware issue with the Pixel....and neither Google nor AT&T are acknowledging an issue.
I feel pretty strongly that it's an AT&T issue....
Is anyone experiencing this, too? Or, does anyone have a workaround they can suggest?
Would appreciate any and all insight/input.
Thanks!!
I'm experiencing this as well. I'm sure it's an att issue. The only solution I've found is to disable enhanced 4g LTE but this is unacceptable
After days of troubleshooting it looks like the solution for me was to get a replacement sim card. MMS now works. Hopefully this works for anybody else having this issue.
I have been experiencing the same issue for about 2 weeks. I also tried all of the above with no resolution. Finally yesterday Google Support acknowledged there is a known issue with AT&T. Their solution...they are sending me a replacement Pixel 2 XL. Not the best solution in my opinion and if the issue really is the SIM card it means even with a replacement phone the issue may continue. Guess I'll have to wait and see. Finger crossed!
