Led stays solid not blinking. - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Does anyone have this issue. I'm rooted with wicked Rom wiped and reflashed many roms but the problem has been here since brand new

Heard of the issue before, if it was like that previously root and after, more likely faulty hardware you should exchange it.

only able to download apps over 3g.

This has been a problem for a while, but i thought it would be just a simple reflash gapps and maybe rom, so i delt with it for a time. But now i just switch from aokp to cm9, fresh install, and the problem still persists. Anybody else having similar problems or have a fix?
Try going to settings-applications-Play Store/Market-Clear Data.

Tried clearing the data and all the basic troubleshooting you do when something screws up.nothing works

It is not ics. I've made a few threads and in most of them you come and bash ics. The problem came up recently, and I been on ics since I first got this phone, which was in April, and I've had no problems till now. So if you don't have anything to say about a solution to the problem please, keep your opinions about ics to yourself
Now back to the problem. I've recently switched to cm9 and the problem is also here. It's really annoying when large apps have to update.

Proximity sensor/ auto brightness not working?

I have been doing a bit of searching around, haven't seen to run in to much.
But my proximity sensor doesn't work..at all along with auto brightness. All of this worked before and I'm running stock rooted.
I've had the phone for 3 days.
I read some where that it could be Google voice but I uninstalled that and it still doesn't work.
Should I return the phone for another? Or could it just be conflicting applications?

Wondering this myself I'm on the newest build of aokp and it seems like the auto brightness is not working

Try the Sensor List app...
Went to AT&T and they said something about DoA and brought out a new S3 that worked properly. Even let me keep the battery from the messed up S3.
But I tried resetting and restoring the phone, re flashed stock latest AT&T rom and the sensors still didn't work. So I reset the flash counter of 1 from rooting I suppose and had my device replaced.

How do you test it?

might try that on my day off
I'm also wondering if there is an app or some reliable way to test the proximity sensor

Flickering screen

Not sure if this has been brought I tried looking a few pages back but didn't see anything. Anyone else having this problem with the screen flickering while its dimming ? I noticed it was doing this even on a stock ROM unrooted. Then I rooted and loaded a custom rom and it still does it. Does anyone else have this issue ?

It dims really slow and there is a flicker otherwise. Known thing.

Had the same problem, I did a factory data reset. It's a pain in the ass but it fixed the problem.
Good Luck.

[Q] phone turns itself off

has anyone experienced their phone turning itself off, and the only way to turn it on is to pull the battery and restart it?
Never heard of that..at least on our note. I have experienced a weird rabdom reboot. Not sure of the relevance between the two but still falls under the weird category. Some say avast security causes these things...

I dont have avast installed. I have had the phome for about 10 days and it has happened about 5 times. the only thing that I have noticed that is it happens when I look at my phone after I get out of my car which makes me think it might have something to do with bluetooth because I have uconnect in my car. I am running stock rooted ljc and have already tried a fresh install and it still happens.
Ive had the exact same problem on stock LJC when I leave my car having used the phone with Bluetooth. The led is usually flashing and the screen is stuck off until a batter pull.
I have not noticed any other lock ups like this otherwise when not using BT. Ive had the phone 2 months.

I have had this happen twice this week but chalked it up to being a custom kernel issue....it happened in the same exact location each time...while streaming pandora in the car....in a spot undergoing network vision upgrades. I will have to test it further

I know that there were some bluetooth fixes in lk8 I wonder if that was one of them. I cant run it cuz I need my wifi to work all the time. maybe it was adressed in ma5. does anyone running either of those builds have an issue like this?
I've ran lk8 on stock deodex and ma5 and haven't had any problems with wifi. But I only use it on my home network.

What kernel?
I was getting rogue restarts/shutdowns in calls on some of the Perseus kernels. Alpha29 IIRC.

I am on the stock kernel. only things different from stock out of the box are root, and I installed twrp from that goo app from the play store.
Update....
After running ma5 for the last 3 days I have not had this issue any more. If anyone is still having this issue I would recommend to flash ma5.
That's good news. Are you using just the updated modem firmware or an entire rom of MA5?

The entire rom.
Before the rom was available I flashed just the modem and still had the issue, but since ive been on the full rom it hasnt happened.
I guess I will update as well...I flashed the new modem and latest perseus kernel and have not had the shut off issue in the location it was previoisly occuring at.

I did the rooted no data oc and I was getting wakelocks from bluetooth share. I un paired and then repaired the phone with my car and the wakelocks went away. Just a heads up.
Hmmmmmm.... never had that happen to me. I am a power user too. I can drain the battery in 5 hours if I try hard.

Does your s4 randomly reboot?

My gf got an s4 and it has randomly turned off and rebooted. She exchanged the phone once already for other issues but she says both phones were rebooting like this. She said it happens even with no apps from store installed. I thought it would be some kind of incompatible app causing an issue but maybe not. I have this phone and I am not experiencing this problem. Anybody gone through this?

Only time mine did was when i was tethering and charging, not to mention it was approx 85+ degrees. I forgot to put my icepack on it but other than that no i have not had any reboot issues. If you can easily re-create the issue, take it to a Corporate store and show them.
Has happen once with mine while i was on instagram for a bit
