So I got my galaxy s3 yesterday and decided that I might as well root and flash immediately and not waste the time setting up just to do it again. I flashed cwm and then tried a couple different runs that wouldn't boot. I went back to my backup and then installed some cwm 10 variant Rom differently but then my 3g was acting up.
I changed the setting under mobile networks to SIM from NV to see if it would make a difference but it didn't so I went back to my stock Rom and unrooted to start over but I never changed the SIM setting back and started getting no SIM errors.
I then went through a couple more unsuccessful flashes before finally having luck with paranoid android and thought that changing back to NV from sim would solve my issues, but it hasn't.
Now my 3g signal Is very bad even when I had the stock Rom and often holds tool 1x even though I have an air rave. What can I do at this point? I don't think trying to hop back to stock sprint Rom will fix the issue since I already tried that once.
I wiped appropriate caches and data every time and even factory reset to before and later find out my initial issues were probably due to hash sum mismatches.

Try to update profile and prl. then restart. make sure your in a good area with strong 3g. best is WiFi especially if you know the speed your paying for. its possible the slow speed is on the sprint side due to lte up dates or bad coverage.

Need some help here. I never usually need help, been modding everything possible on Android for years now. But can't figure this one out, getting worried.
Had my LTE Nexus since launch day. No issues like this before.
Been on all Team Kang AOKP toro ROM updates since release, always on the latest. Stock kernel. Was on build 20 since it came out.
Yesterday at work, had a few bugs from probably not data wiping from build 19, so I wiped it all and re-flashed 20 again. Restored Titanium and started re-setting things up, I believe these are the only things I did. I was at work where I would normally have minimal, but some, service.
Ever since around there, I have not once had a bit of 3G or 4G service. I have not seen the 3G logo for even an instant, only few, gray bars. Wifi works fine of course. It's possible I even lost service before wiping and re-flashing, but I can't recall or didn't notice.
I tried all the usual stuff, wiping everything again, re-flashed AOKP 20, re-flashed other/older ROMs, re-flashed latest radio, restored old Nandroid backups, pulled battery and sim card and put back/rebooted...NOTHING IS WORKING. Also, I have driven through several towns since yesterday so I know it's not a local outage. Also, other people with Verizon phones here have service fine.
I have basically torn the phone down software-wise and nothing has fixed the issue. I still have no service. Each time I re-flash a ROM, it always makes me go on Wifi when it wants me to sign into Google...it never picks up mobile service then or after.
The About>Status screen says:
Network: Verizon Wireless
Signal Strength: shows an actual number reading that changes
Service State: In Service
Roaming: Not roaming
Mobile network state: Disconnected
Please suggest things I can try, but I guaranteed I have already tried them. Can't understand or imagine what is causing this, because I did nothing different than I normally do.
Also, I posted this on Rootz as well, and many replies so far. Still no luck though.
If you have an idea I can try, maybe post there instead at this point for me?
Thanks guys in advance.

It seems a radio problem. Try to flash the stock ROM from Google.

Well I did go back to many random earlier, more stock custom ROMs in hopes of a fix, but nothing so far. I am currently back on the stock 4.0.2 ROM that is rooted and deodexed by Bigxie, but I guess I can go all the way back to stock 4.0.1 or 0.2. Will try now.
Went to Verizon and it looks like the sim card swap did it. The girl there was nice and did it without hesitation for me.
She showed me in her computer how under my family account, it wasn't even fully showing my device or something like that. Not sure if it wasn't there at all or if it just didn't show that I had a 4g phone activated on the account...but I'm sure it was related.
Sucks to have to get a swap and still don't know what caused it or if its related to flashing roms, but at least it works! No issues since...
It is possible, but unlikely and no reasonable explanation, that your sim somehow got affected doing all the flashing and stuff.

I've had this phone about a month, and I can't have a phone call longer than 15 minutes without the call dropping. It has nothing to do with my location, because I have an Evo and older Epic in the same house and neither of them have a signal problem.
I have tried multiple PRLs and modems, including EL29, EK02, and many of the newer ones like FD19, FD24, FD26, FE07, etc.
Some of the newer modems were terrible, in that once I got loss of signal it would stay that way and I'd have to reboot. With EL29 and EK02, the loss of signal appears for only a few seconds, but when that occurs during a call the call drops.
seems like a weird issue, and looks like you have explored software related issues. One thing you could try is a network reset and force the phone to re-activate on the network, you will need your MSL though. If your device is rooted then you can get it. once you have your msl, go to the dial pad and do ## 72786#, it will ask you for your msl and should reset, this just clears out your programming information and should force the device to go through hands free activation. Not sure if it will help, but I don't think it could hurt.
Tried that also, same problem.
You stated that you've changed prls and modems. Have you tried any different roms?

I'm currently using Blazer 4.1 ROM.
One thing I've noticed, is if I turn off 3G data, then the Loss of Signal occurs a lot less often. Today I had a 40 minute call that didn't drop once I turned off 3G. Before I turned it off, I had 5 consecutive calls drop before they reached 20 minutes.
However, it's not a total fix, because I still get Loss of Signal from time to time with 3G off.
ever find a solution to this? this seemed to only appear when i went from a GB to a ICS rom.. but even after i flashed back to my GB rom/older modem, the problem is still there..
Ive had issues network related on mine. Certain roms well kernals mess with things that need left alone. Are you running one of the LOS kernals? I had constant issues with them. Try doing a full format then flash to stock unrooted eg30 then use ota up to ics. Then flash on. Ive fixed many issues with this method. IT seems when we flash flash flash it messes with it. But flashing back to true stock formated does seem to help

i'll try that, i do remember trying to flash back to stock ICS while trying to fix things and that did not help. i would have figured just restoring my old GB rom would fix things but seems the network issues were stuck.
Thanks
I was checking out some of the themes that i had downloaded to see which one i liked the most and after a few installs i noticed that my phone was no longer getting 3g/hspa+ ? I had done nothing except install and reboot like instructed in the discription. I was installing them via "Themes" settings. Im currently on AOKP build 39 with the latest nightly from Franco (R191), I have never seen this before which is why i thought id post this thread. I have tried the following and got no fix:
tried *#*#4636#*#* and selected radio band/automatic but got nothing.
tried a refresh on the APN and got nothing
tried Mobile networks/Network operators/both "Select Automatically" and choosing T-mobile and no 3g still =(. Im stuck on EDGE:2
The radio that i have been on for a while now is xxkk6 which has worked pretty good for me coming from Phoenix,AZ
Dont know what else to do, someone help please
Why make two threads for the same problem?

Before creating a "theme broke 3g" thread. Did you happen to call your carrier and see if there has been an outage reported in your area? Have you tried to reflash rom, gapps and kernel and does the problem persist?
good day.

I'm having the same problem. Was working fine on HSPA last night and woke up to Edge only all day. It's not a network outage and it's not my account as my SIM works on HSPA on my backup HTC Amaze. I was recently on CM9 Nightly 6/20 but I'll try going back to the stock rom and see what that does.
Edit: Tried reverting to complete stock everything and I'm still stuck on Edge only. I'll try a friend's SIM out and make sure it's not my account/IMEI issue, otherwise something has to be wrong with the phone, but I don't know what

There is no outage in my area because everyone that i know has T-mobile and there phone works fine. Re flash rom, gapps, kernel and problem still remains
Either me bringing it back to stock/oem lock then unlock or my phone fixed itself. At first when i was done bringing it back to stock, it was still saying i was on edge, then after about an hour when i tried to root my phone i noticed that 3g/h back up. I still dont know what exactly the root cause but whatever its fixed
I'm having some issues with my connection. I am running stock rooted LJ7. My upload speed reports as .1 using a browser based speed test and any random number between 1 and 100 Mbps using an installed speed test application. It also will not allow me to update PRL or profile.
I had this problem previously and ended up having to restore to an older backup. While that fixed the problem, it is back again and doing a restore and losing data is just a pain.
Things I've tried: having sprint reset the connection, resetting from my end using the dialer, cussing, rebooting, switching to LTE mode and back as well as a few other things I can't think of at the moment as I am half asleep.
Things I haven't tried: factory reset from within the OS, kicking it, factory reset from CWM.
Any suggestions? It's quite annoying. Internet is almost unusable and I cannot send MMS unless on WiFi. (this problem only affects cell radio, not WiFi) Oh, and it also had an awful latency last time it did this but it doesn't seem to be doing it now. Attached are SS of the tests. Do note this is NOT eHRPD.
Thanks.

The second one is hilarious...65mb on upload...though when you flash roms, are you full wiping in between the new rom flashes, not particularly backups?
Uploads tend to be slower in general, though I'd see your sprint store cuz you may have an overloaded network, depending on the time of day.
Yes I do full wipe between ROMs and restores. I've taken the network into account, that's not it. I have a second device with which I check the network speeds and they do just fine. May just end up downloading a fresh ROM and start from scratch.

Hello all!
I am having constant data issues all day where I go to use an app that needs it, it says that no data connection can be found or something. I turn the radio off, turn it back on and then it works. It's a good work-around but it does get very annoying. I've tried multiple 4.4.2 roms but no avail. I tried a different kernel but I couldn't even use the phone. Any ideas?
Same for me; I'm rooted now but it happened before root and after the JB ota updates. Annoying but otherwise I love this phone
I think this has been a known issue since ICS (I could be wrong though).
If anyone knows a fix that would be cool (I have GSM google play gnex)
My issues started late last night, lost data connection and it didn't come back. On my way home, it connected then lost again at home. Went to Verizon today and they couldn't figure it out, said possibly the radio is taking a crap.
On my way to work, it connects then gone. I tried flashing the radio, pulled battery, booted without sim, formatted cache and delvic. I have tried everything and think it's the end of the line for it
I've been rooted since the day I got it and had the issue once a while back but it straightened out and has been great since.
Certain CyanogenMod ROMs have trouble with the Network Modes sticking. Which carrier are you using? For my carrier, I had to have the correct APNs set to get 4G and MMS working. It might be that this is the problem in most cases, especially when the phone switches between 4G and 3G in spotty areas.
