After installing a CM10 nightly data / WiFi are working but I can't make calls or send text messages. This is my first experience with a custom rom so I'm not sure what went wrong.
Do you still have you imei number in about phone/status?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I would check the IMEI as suggested above and flash again if the IMEI is still showing up.
My IMEI was set, but my phone number wasn't.
Thanks for pointing me to the right place.
Update, I jumped the gun on this being solved. I can call and receive texts, but I can't send them.
Check your apn?

I see this posted a lot when trouble shooting here in the forums. What exactly is APN?
Access Point Name
It's basically the settings for what your uses to connect to the network.

I checked for that and I currently have two options:
Bell: pda.bell.ca. Currently checked
Bell flex: inet.bell.ca
I tried the second one but that didn't help
Edit n/m
Some googling led me to this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/SMSC_Updates
I tried all three styles but each one gave me an instant "update error"
You are on a bell phone right?

I just installed Liquidsmooth and I have the same problem there.
Flash stock rooted and see if you can then.

I restored from the backup I made (of my stock rom before I started all of this) and everything worked.
Then stay on that....

I haven't been able to receive picture messages since I first rooted and flashed a ROM on my S3. I'm not sure if it has to do with the settings or what, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Running Paranoid Kangdroid by the way if that makes any difference.
is your mobile data on? (doesn't work through wifi)

Yup, data is on.
It might help if we knew what Rom you are running. If it's aokp try the following:

I'm running Paranoid KangDroid, it was in my first post.
That's what I get for posting after visiting the bar. I didn't see it the first time through. See if the steps in that thread will work for you. It fixed it for me on task's Rom.

I'm on the Sprint GS3 and something weird has happened when I flashed two completely different roms that has never happened for as long as I've been flashing Roms dating back to the Samsung epic. I flashed the Avatars Rom and the Liquid Smooth Rom and as I went to sync my contacts I put my email address and password in and it said "could not connect to server". Any reason or fix to that problem.

Are you on WiFi? Might be either a signal drop or wrong password, but I can't think of anything else other than a weak data connection.

If you have wifi, use it. If not, Odin back to stock and start fresh. Sometimes between flashes certain things stick and u just don't realize. I flashed from one TW rom to another with a full wipe and a lock screen setting stuck thru it.

Same problem here. Tried different gapps, signing out of Google account, reflashed ROM, cleared play store data. I haven't even flashed anything in almost a month.

Needed to install gapps for the Avatar ROM that's why it wasn't working. For the Liquid ROM its the kernel; I don't know but my phone wouldn't reboot after flashing the rom, the fix, gapps and kernel.

Also, is this a new issue? Did you flash/install/add or remove anything?
I was able to fix it by full wiping and re installing JellyBam 7.3
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I had this happen a bunch of times with my skyrocket, then my ATT S3, and finally with my friends Verizon S3. I just deleted all the different APN s. Then manually entered the APN info that I saved on my skyrocket or a text file. All is well now. FYI I've always had a tough time figuring out APN settings even with XDA. So I actually got my APN info from an activated phone in an ATT store one day and have been using that since.
Definitely not well documented on these forums that I've seen anyway... Please correct me if I I'm wrong.

Sounds like a problem with your carrier, I'd suggest given them a call.
Btw, you didn't give any info on what ROM/kernel you're using.

Then yeah, contact your carrier. I believe it's on their end.
If they tell you to factory reset, don't listen lol. That's not the problem. (Can be used as last resort)
I deleted the sprint connection optimizer from my phone and am now getting download speeds of about 1Mbps whereas before I was getting 150-200Kbps. It might just be me but worth trying out if you are rooted.

And unlocked. You can't remove apps unless unlocked. Or you end up in a boot loop.

I always remove it first thing on any ROM. Even on my GS3. It took up so much battery by itself by turning my wifi on and off and messing with my data.
So once rooted and bootloader unlocked would I just go to system/app and delete what? Is it the WiFiOffLoad.apk and the WiFiOffLoad.odex? Thanks

Has anyone tried it with a locked boot loader? I know removing Google and LG stuff causes Security error on boot, but I have frozen sprint apps no problem

Is there any merit to this? How is deleting C.O. making your download speeds faster?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Whether or not this works for anyone else or why it works for me is unknown. All I know is that before and after the deletion my download speeds increased. Whether or not it coincided with a network improvement that is causing my speed increase I don't know.
I have compared my results with a friend with the same phone but is completely stock and my download speeds are significantly more than his.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Well it doesn't hurt to try. I'll check if it does anything to my speeds and report back.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I'm not sure if it's a fluke but it does seem that I am getting better download speeds. Top 2 scores are with C.O. uninstalled and bottom 2 are with C.O. Installed. Maybe you are onto something. I'll perform more tests later on since there isn't sufficient data to prove this yet.
Edit: Before I tested with/without C.O, I updated the PRL. Both internal/external IPs were different. No speed changes were seen without updating PRL with/without C.O. I doubt removing C.O does anything to increase speeds.

If anything the connection optimizer is annoying and deleting it does clear up some resources.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I want to try this but I don't want to unlock again. Could I freeze the application? Or disable with autorun manager with no ill effects?
