What does LOS look like?

I get terrible ****ing coverage at work, I mean I'm roaming half the time. Sometimes Ill have like 2-3 bars, ill look at my phone, and bam, 0 bars. Other times, Ill get notifications of Voicemail messages, but Ill never have received a call (which im guessing this means calls aint coming thru at times)
Is this the LOS issue? Or just really crappy signal? Is there a notification or something when the LOS issue comes up?

No...i think u jus have the weak signal issue...with los u have no bars....and theres a big white circle where your bars should...it sucks cuz some times u have to restart your phone to get it back...

I suppose it depends on where you are but for me that's what my LOS problem looked like, until I eventually had no signal at all (a white circle with a line through it) and no amount of reboots would bring it back. I bought 2 ET4G's and we have a small tower farm down the block where the big 4 and Clearwire all have a presence. I'd put both phones down on the table next to each other and my phone would roam over to Verizon and my wife's would show 5 bars on Sprint. I had to send my ET4G back and revert to my old HTC Hero and that has 5 bars at my house. I had high hopes for my Epic Touch 4G but it was not to be.

Its a circle with a line through it indicating no service
Samsung Galaxy S Dos indeed

yeah then I dont htink I got LOS, i still miss calls because of this **** reception though.
Gonna set up an airrave at work soon.. hope that helps **** out

A bit offtopic but what browser is that?

Not caused by low battery. Did the MSL reset 4 days ago and haven't had LOS since.

[Reference] 4G speeds

I've always been curious how much 4G speeds vary from place to place. I travel a lot for work, but lets face it, Sprint coverage maps are pretty much a best case scenario or an Opium induced fantasy at best. Post your 4G speeds with a screen shot, (pics or it didn't happen), please no flaming. If you don't have 4G in your area, please don't troll! Hopefully Sprint will get you covered when lte rolls out.
Real simple, get speedtest.net. Check your 4g speeds.
Take at least 3 tests to show average.

4g? What's that?
Ha, ain't got 4g here.

Speeds vary. If I take them in the morning i get 9mbps and at night. In the afternoon 4g is kinda bad

+1 Seams as though network traffic is definitely lower at night. Varies by tower as well. Just a few miles up the road in Kansas City, I can get upwards of 10M with a weaker signal then I have at home.

never really use 4g unless i need to tether really badly. I usually stick to non 4g roms

T-Mobile - horrible reception? (Time without a signal)

I've got the T-Mobile SGS3, and am getting horrible reception.. time without a signal hovers around 30% at home on this phone, where as both my Nexus One and Sensation had no problems whatsoever with signal. Going for WCDMA preferred instead of GSM auto (default out of the box setting) didn't help.. fwiw, I'm getting 3-4 bars of signal on the statusbar.
is anyone else having this issue, or is my phone just a lemon?
Thanks!

bump.. no one else is seeing bad reception?

I think a lot of people are having this problem in one way or another, including myself.

Im on sprint, and my signal is piss poor also. Take forever to logon to pandora and forget about watching any videos, impossible. I'm thinking the modern needs an update. What's the sense in having this bad ass phone if we can't even listen to internet radio in peace. I'm going back to my SSG2, and getting my HBO back for lunch

I'm still getting 25-30% time without a signal, just sitting at home.. why is the signal strength for the SGS3 so bad?! Is it a Samsung issue? I've only had HTC android phones before this one.

Switching from 3G to 4G (airplane mode toggle)

I've been using a Sprint Galaxy Note 2 in Chicago since Thursday.
Last night I was in an area where I thought there should be 4G but was only getting 3G. I did an airplane mode toggle and when it came back on I connected to 4G. There have been other times that I was on 3G and did switch to 4G automatically but there have been a lot of times that I seem stuck on 3G for awhile.
Is this likely b/c I'm still getting a weak 4G signal and as it gets stronger the automatic switchover should be more frequent (or else I would just always be on 4G) or could this be signs of a similar bug that's plagued the EVO LTE?
Anybody else finding they need to toggle airplane mode to connect to LTE?

No LTE in my area so I unfortunately cant confirm or deny this issue.

I have a few LTE spots in my market and my phone picked up the signal each time I drive by them.

99% of the time I stay locked on to 4g in my area. Nothing like my Evo 4g LTE which I had to trick into locking onto LTE with *#*#4636#*#* or whatever it was. This thing is much more LTE reliable.

Op try switching roam mode to home (sprint only). This have worked real well for me.

Thanks, I'll give this a try.
--Edit--
Just to confirm you are telling me to change Roaming Network from Automatic to Home Only. Is that correct?

The phone will drop to 3G to conserve battery when data is not in use. I believe there's a way to force HSPA only, you're going to have to search for it. Your phone and its radio firmware are fine though.

Currently on giffgaff and was thinking about switching to Three to take advantage of DC-HSDPA and eventually 4G, but it's worrying if the data connection is that flakey.
Sorry I can't offer any help but will be keeping a close eye on this thread and hopefully will give some insight about the Three network. The lack of 2G fallback for calls also bothers me.

I understand it will drop when not in use but this is when I'm on a website browsing it will drop and If I click a link it won't do anything it's weird

4.1.1 7105 on t-mobile does not do that, works fine.

I'm having okay data connection using the modem in your screenshot. N7105 on Three.
3G H H+ all working fine but there are some dark spots where I can't get data even with H+ on full strength.
