serious issue! data loss - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

first i got to send my apologies to kootz (sp?) because i thought it was only doing it on their rom when i just happened to be i was on their rom the couple times it has happened. i thought cm10 didnt do it because immediately i would flash that and data was back. it happened today while running cm10. suddenly i have no data connection i can talk and text but no data. even after reboot no data no i can connect to wifi. what i did this time was go to titanium back up i erased the data for "input devices 4.1.1 blh blah blah" and data kicked back on.......anyone else having this issue???? i don't know if it's doing it on the stock rom as i have not been on it for quite some time.......anyone else??
even when i toggle data off and on it still stays off but the phone acts like data is off only thing that can be done is talk and text.

You can actually confirm that you have mobile network connectivity period?
As in, you're sure you can talk?
When I lose data from LTE -> 4G/HSPA+ ... then I lose everything. It looks like I can call, I have full bars, albeit no logo, but I can't actually place a call. I get the 'Emergency Calls Only' message, OR 'No Network Found' depending on Rom.
Either way, no solution....yet.
Also, I'm on Bell Network, currently running Ariel 2.08 Stock. (ATT-based I believe).

I have the exact same issue with my Telus SGS3. Even when running on stock ICS, even before rooting, I had the issue as mentioned above. I sent it out for repairs under warranty and Samsung claimed it not to have any faults and they just reflashed and sent it back claiming it passed all tests. I asked Telus to send it back again because it came back with it stuck on the Samsung logo. There has to be a solution to this or Samsung should at least fix it.

I still can talk and text. I have talked and text. Once I wipe data of that file data kicks back on......
Beside the bars there us nothing there. I have made calls and got texts but I have no data. I have tried putting into airplane mode and off and I have tried toggling mobile data......

[Q] all of a sudden phone will not find any carriers?

Been running Darkside rom for several weeks now without any issues. Just picked my phone up to check it and it says no service and "searching" but never gets signal. I took the sim out and used it in my other phone without any issues. I have the replacement warranty if I need to swap it but is there anything I could try before I do that and return it to stock? WifI calling does work but with Wifi off, no cellular service. Thanks.
Try wiping data and cache in recovery

Check your apn settings
Sent from the iPhone graveyard.
I had this with my old iPhone. It usually happens when its baseband crashes. For some reason jailbreaking always did that to it.
Just reboot your phone. If it happens very often you might have a bad flash.
It is working again. I think the 4G must have been out in the area because if I selected GSM only it would get edge. Thanks for the replies.

[Q] 4.2.1 Won't connect to 4G (tmobile) while home

Some brief history:
Rooted on stock ROM from factory everything working fine.
I was prompted for 4.2.1 OTA update, I accepted phone restarted with no errors.
I cannot get 3G or 4G around my house the signal is full and and i see the little up/down arrow as if some activity is happening.
Any app that requires data Facebook/Netflix/Speedtest tells me network is unavailable. I can still make and receive call and txt
Data does work once I leave my area and phone connects to a different tower I imagine.
I have spoken to tmobile support and a ticket was placed to check the status of the tower and they are reporting "no outage" .
Things I have tried for troubleshooting so far:
1. reset and re-enter apn details
2. tested my sim card in a CM7 rooted HTC Nexus same issue
3. Tried my sim in a stock tmobile blackberry curve , data worked (3G limited device)
4. My phone gets data when i force 2G network only
I would hate to flashback as I have everything setup perfectly and even my tether is working but any help is appreciated.
Try using a different radio
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Wouldnt the 4.2.1 OTA push out a new radio if needed? I'm not using a custom ROM all stock since day1 except for root w/gnex toolkit. Also the phone gets great 4G speeds when not in that problem area (that happens to be my house)
OP, have you found out what your problem was as I'm having the same problem with my phone

ATT GS3 losing Data Network randomly

This is the Task650 and Ktoonsez AOKP. VERSION: d2att(4.1.2 JZ054K) from December 2nd release.
My data network goes in and out at random. It actually started happening about 4 days ago on an older build by Task650 & Ktoonsez but I saw the new one so wiped dalvik and Partition cache and rom'ed. Even after flashing the new ROM, data is acting the same way. It is completely random, happens when the phone is in use or when it is locked. I can tell when data connects for short spurts because I hear the notices for new emails. All in all today, I've maybe had 5 minutes of HSPA/3G data and the rest all I have is cellular network for calls. reception strong, and I am in areas where I always have good connection and speed.
Any ideas? Kind of frustrating if I am out to lunch and want to catch up on things (stuff is blocked at work). Also I am paying for data I can't use :/
fully wipe and reflash.. try a different modem

I am admittedly new to flashing, I just assumed everything was in the package. I flash the ROM and Gapps, is there a source for different modems?
This is definite disconnect of data DHTP. Can't get anywhere, and there is no symbol where there usually is on the reception bar. When it comes back for brief moments, it has either HSPA, 3g, etc.... on the bar.
are you able to send and receive calls? text?
I flashed that rom three days ago, and i had to replace it via warranty. it showed it had signal, but couldnt make any calls or text at all. then i Odin back to stock never worked again.
Don't think it has to do with any rom. Noticed that my wife's sgs3 has had a problem sending and receiving texts and the network drops a lot as well. She is completely stock with the jelly Bean update. My network has been a little suspect over the last few days also. Might just be the service.

Hey Guys, I may have found the culprit...sort of.
The wife has an iP5 and she said to me while we are driving to a holiday party 'I finally have official 4G LTE on my phone'. To which I of course ask what she means. Apparently the same day I started not being able to connect to data networks, is actually the day that ATT fired up their 4G LTE tower(s) in the Lehigh Valley area. When I do get data on occasion, it's when I bump down to 3G and HSPA. Unfortunately, the ROM has a bug where I cannot force it to look for just 3G, I go to save the setting and it immediately jumps back to LTE.
I may just have to flash to a version that definitely supports 4G LTE data. This issue occurred before I flashed to newest ROM, so it has something to do with the core build or modem that both versions use.
Ngriffin, if you find any successful modems please let me know. I like the ROM but I can't go without a data connection much longer.
So, for those who care, I flashed Gapps and also Flashed a new modem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898) version UCLG1 and it's a no go. A few in my area said it worked great for them so now I am a bit discouraged. Northeast Pennsilvania Area.

LEM

LK3 -------------Works but only 3G data.

More info, tested using the Wife's Ip5 and realized we don;t have LTE at our house, so I'll have to wait until we get withing range of the LTE tower(s) to see if it has an issue. However, I now have data reliably.

That's normal. LTE is data only and isn't used for phone calls.
I've been running Task's AOKP on my SGS II and III for a while with no data issues. Check your APN settings. If you're in an LTE area, you should be able to sit on the ATT LTE APN and have no problems, even away from LTE coverage.

To update further, LK3 modem worked for a short while, but once I left the area of my immediate cell tower and it had to connect to another tower, it couldn't. I flashed ALL modems in my list a post above and NONE work. I'm kind of pissed right now.
Any ideas? I'll probably to a full backup and then flash a completely different ROM and cross my fingers. Is there an official JB stock ROM sans the bloatware that is stable and can connect to LTE (or any data network reliably for that matter)?
It was my APN *facepalm* Thanks for the suggestion. It was sitting on wap.cingular instead of the LTE and it was causing the issue. I'm on modem CLH1 and it is working, I have the 4G (3G) symbol now and data is connecting. Well, I learned something thanks! :victory:

I started having issues with mine about the same time. I haven't been able to figure it out yet. I had just gone to JB and flashed a new ROM. Then started noticing not just data being very spotty but also my calls (both incoming and outgoing) were very spotty too. Both seemed to only work about 50% of the time. I have since completely wiped and factory reset twice. I even Odin'ed back to a stock Rout66 jelly bean system but I still have issues
I have updated my APN to ATT PTA but that hasn't helped. What APN settings did you go with? Is ther some specific for LTE coverage? On the stock system now I can actually see the LTE icon when it actually chooses to connect.
Also, where did you find other modems. I was told in another forum not to flash any that weren't specific to Jelly Bean and all I have found is the stock I747UCDLK3 which is already on my phone. I did try flashing that seperately just to see if that would help but did not.
I need to get my phone working pronto as it is my main phone for both business and personal phone calls. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I thought they changed the APN to "ATT PHONE"? Trying to find those details now.
EDIT:
AT&T Changing Default APN's... no more pta???

When you're on stock, only thing you can do is check with your carrier and they'll either tell you that it's something on their end being worked on or that your SIM card is faulty.
This happens to me on tasks AOKP ROM at least once per day, but it usually only happens when I turn on LTE. Basically what happens is the phone has cellular service but no data, after a few minutes it comes back. What I have noticed is that its to do with LTE so maybe there's a problem with that?

Task's AOKP doesn't set the default APN to LTE for Rogers so you might wanna make sure it's your default APN.

Data connection lost

I been having this issue since I loaded up wicked rom on my phone. Works for 5 minutes only then loose connection, the only way seem to get connected again is through making a phone call to any... I just call my voicemail to get connected again so I don't have to annoy people! Help!!!

The current modem seems to *really* want to be on LTE. If you don't care about LTE you can disable it...settings - connections tab - more networks - mobile networks - change "Network Mode" to GSM/WCDMA. You'll still get HSPA+ speeds, but it should stay connected better.

Thanks man, it's just weird that the only way to get back connected is to make a phone call... I was at the time bike store yesterday and they mentioned something about updating the towers to LTE and should be over end of this summer... They said they are already ahead of sprint as in service at the moment and they are trying to be on the same page as AT&T and Verizon. I messed with the option by the way many times but didn't notice the difference yet but I will update the result on a following reply in the future. Thanks again

[Q] Data works, Can receive SMS and calls, can't send?

Hey guys, I was using my phone fine all day, but then a text didn't send. Tried again and nope. I tried calling someone but I never heard a ring. I tried putting in airplane mode and turning it off and on. I even installed a new ROM (clean flash) and still the same problems. I can receive SMS fine but most of my SMS won't send. And my data works just fine .any suggestions? I live right in front of a tower and get full bars BTW.

Perhaps your roam settings got jacked. Make sure it is set to "Automatic" and not "Sprint Only"
It could be Sprint, they may be doing updates if your are is set for Vision Network upgrades.
