Ok Im having issues with my mt3gs. Damn thing started acting up more then it use to .. the phone doesn't receive or place calls when it wants to. The phone is unlocked, rooted, ron is cm6.1 and has the latest radio update and the phone is on simple Mobile . The phone works fine with data but called wont go out or in . I have to reset it like 2-3 and then it will work. But for a while then back to nothing .. before I would get incoming calls and out going would be iffy but found a way around that using Google voice call back app. Also the phone works grake with t-mo sim. So if any one has or had this issue please help ...

This might be a dumb question, but this is usually one of the first things I've ask.
Have you tried a different ROM?
As for Simple... Well, I know there's a few people out there who are on that, so I hope they browse by and maybe have some words of advice.
Well I jumped to cm 6.1 cuz in the stock rom the phone wouldn't make out going calls .. I would dile out it will then reboot itself when the call wouldn't go .and with the cm rom it will just hang it self up after like 30 sec..

So I got a new SGS3 and it works fine, except when I am in 3G. When I am in 3G I can receive and place calls but no data. Att support was no help, so I figured I would check here. As far as I can tell it is either a APN, Gateway, or Account settings issue (the later being something I can not do anything about). I say this because my n1 gets signal fine here, and it seems to run fine, so long as it is 4g.
Any ideas? Also, does the SGS3 have EDGE support?

Bump: And also I tried to set an old APN but that didn't help.
Have you rooted and flashed it or are you stock? If you are just stock...there is nothing this forum can do to help really.

I have not rooted or anything, I have tried some APNs but I was hoping other people might help me out with something else to try. I don't really buy the whole " if you are stock... there is nothing that can be done" What if I was trying to get help with a stock developer build of my n1 (which I have previously) or are you asserting that without rooting I will not be able to fiddle with the modem settings?
What I'm saying is the phone comes ready out of the box. Unless you have changed something then it is a network problem. You will have to take it up with AT&T.
U can only do so much stock....and thats not alot! Root and use stock rom so u will have root access to see whats what...and to be able to control what u do or dont want ur data to do

Thank you guys for trying to help but I know all this. I am just in the period of time I can take it back and I don't want to risk that by bricking it while monkeying around.
I (Maybe) have isolated the problem, they said that I was set up for LTE and there are some issues with proper propagation of properties. Anyway problem "May" only effect people on ATT with Samsung S3s bought at BestBuy locations and the upgrade includes unlimited data. Still working will update tonight....
BUMP!
I have flashed many ROM's over the past mths well now MY LTE/4g service is slow i am getting .56mbs on the up and like .52mbs so i was wondering what to do... before you ask me what i did i am going to tell you.
1. i wiped factory reset my phone and all that good stuff.
2. flashed new ROM went from at&t Rom's to bell roms to t-mobile roms
everything else is working just fine on my phone i get calls and can get texts and it says that i am connected to 4gLTE however the speed sucks. I checked my phones APN settings and my IMEI looks to be right its not all zeros... so right now i am at a stand still and i just wanted to know how to flash back to stock and start all over again... i tried to look all over for this in the forums but could not find anything.
The current ROM i am on is Jellybean747 M3 Plum.
Thank you for anything that you can help me with.
Going back to stock
Check the following thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737848
I just went back to stock...make sure you have the latest drivers for the Galaxy S3...dowloand the latest Odin...
Start the phone in download mode (volume down + home button + power at the same time)..then plug in your phone to your computer.
Hope this help

.56 speeds looks like throttled speeds. Do you have unlimited data? If so, have you passed 5gbs?

***If your having similar issues, please call sprint to make them aware of the issue.****
Anyways, can any one help me. I updated to jelly bean OTA, and since then my LGOG does not like to send text messages out. My phone will not send messages shorter than 10-20 characters. Im in the CHICAGO area. No problem receiving them, just more often then not i get a failed sent. I have tried resetting the phone hard/soft. I took my phone into sprint and they said I need a new phone. Wtf! Anyone have this issue, or have any ideas to resolve this?
Im pretty disapointed right now, the phone was flawless before the update! Never had a single problem before. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE.. In conclusion,if anyone is interested, I believe the new jellybean update just doesn't play well with my towers in my area of Chicago. With the jelly bean update my voice signal was excellent, but the data signal was degraded. I always noticed, with ics while 4glte was connected, the voice signal was less. With jelly bean it seemed to be just the opposite at all times, great voice so so data connection. Only if i could have both and jellybean wtf?? Maybe someone could help me on here and explain a radio/jelly combo i would have best of both worlds.
Seems to be a Chicago issue.
**Either way I aquired LGNPST and original TOT file and reflashed the phone with original software and have not accepted the jellybean update for now.**
If you would like me to host the files needed PM me, I'll send you links.
I suposed I could have tried to reflash ZV9/ICS or ZV9 radios, but I bricked the phone before trying that.
I must have got the best phone out there. I've never had a problem with any software version we've had.

Rub it in why dont ya.... Well mine was the best android phone that i have owned. I never had a single issue before this.
I guess since i havent got any responses no one else has this issue. Is there anyway to reflash jellybean on my phone again?
Have you tried a ##72786# in the dialer? It will reprogram the phone. It won't erase anything.

I have not tried the ## but ill give it a shot. Sprint may have done that.
More on this issue, it seems just not to send short messages. Like lol, no, yes anything shorter than a sentence. I have noticed tht long texts send fine, and picture text seem lightning fast. Whch is great, but cant respond to someone with a simple yes or no. Wtf
I have also noticed a bigger delay between automatic switching between 3g and 4g. Before the update the switching was seamless.
I have also rooted and reflased the ota, same issue. I did not flash the radios seperate tho.
The ## did not fix my text issue. Sprint store did do this as well.
Still have this same issue anyone figure anything out? Anyone have anymore suggestions i can try? Sprint does something on their end, and restore the phone with ## and it works for an hour, then back to the same issue.
Peteyo, are you in Chicago? Maybe it's it's a network issue. I'm having the same problem and so is my buddy. I can't believe more people aren't coming forward with this if it's a national thing.
But let me know if you find a fix, and I'll do the same. And you're right, it only happens on short messages!
Im in Chicago and having the same issues, even with other messenger apps that use stock mms, I also use whats app and have no issues. They seem to be random some send and some don't. If there is a fix please post it is a pain .

***If you have this issue please call sprint, so they are aware of issue****
I have chalked it up to LG sucking! or I supose it could be sprint. The JB update they pushed changes the way the phone communicates with the towers. I grabbed bits and pieces from other threads with data problems and came to that conclusion. It doesn't appear to make issues with everyone, or have the same problems.
What i did, and what maybe the easiest is to reflash the phone back to its original form out of the box. Also im not accepting the ZVB/jelly bean update that messed up our phones. To return to original state, u must aquire LGSNPT, and Sprint`s original tot file. You can find these two in the developer sections. Its really easy and painless and get you right back where u need to be. The toughest part is putting your phone into download mode. vol+ vol- and power buttons.
Make sure u back up your pictures/things you may want to keep.
Option 2 you can **** around and try to find an ICS file, root your phone, and flash it back to ics. Or better yet root and flash ZV9 radios.
However im not sure if these will work. I have not been able to find ZV9 radios.
Option 3 if you have insurance get a new reman phone, or if no insurance pay sprint 50bucks for a reman phone. But you will still have the same issue if you update to ZVB/jellybean.
I wish I new more about this stuff and make a custom radio that has the voice improvements from ZVB/Jellybean, and the data from ICS/ZV9. Probably not even possible.

I'm in the Chicago area and noticed the same thing...
The strange part of all of this is that my text messages will always send if they are greater than about 10 to 20 characters. Anything smaller than that amount will give me a send failure. Has anyone else had that experience?
Data and Cell Reception have been stellar for myself since the update -- I believe I was having the texting issues before OTA (though I wasn't rooted at that point)
***If you have this issue please call sprint, so they are aware of issue****
That was my exact issue! I had to send complete sentences. WTF

Don't you feel a greater level of sophistication when you have to type an entire sentence?
I'm sure it's Sprint trying to cut down on their SMS costs, but I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
Funny! I guess I should have just added a bunch of quick messages that are complete sentences for a yes or no answers. And the lesser 4g reception does slow down my midget porn downloading. Maybe it really is a win win...

It has not been fixed yet, and I'm starting to believe it may never unless people start complaining more. I strongly encourage people to call sprint support often regarding this, if you would like to see it fixed. I have opened a couple cases with Sprint business support (corporate account here). If more people raise a stink, they have to do something!
Will do. Thanks for the quick reply:thumbup:

Thank you so much! To make things even more confusing when I was using cyanogenmod 10 rom mms was working perfectly, however I found the rom to be buggy, VERY SLOW and all around confusing. So I figured if I used the apn-conf.xml from that and put it in jellybreads apn-conf.xml (despite cgm's being sprit) ot should work! No dice. Ill give yours a shot n let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

If that APN is what got you hot and bothered, lol, be certain to link back to it in other threads for other users to be able to configure their setup as well. I don't even use my Evo for anything more than a music player, so I could very well not be capable of much more here.

well that apn work specifically for jellybread. Ive been searching for as i said 3 days for a simple custom rom that was stable and fast and fully functional (Minus 4g :,-() . all of them seemed to have major flaws, slow and bloated, threw my phone in a loop, far too many options confusing me.
but for wimax I'm convinced that since I have 4g included in my plan for cricket if i could figure out the right settings in qpst I could get on 4g too. Id probably get a heart attack though from excitement. Ive seen youtube videos for it but i could only hope. ill try posting a new thread for that though.

The other cricket users of JellyBread and Kendallc123 herself may be as ecstatic as you if you can get 4g working with cricket, but you should link to this in the JellyBread thread so that the cricket users there see it. Also I'd thank user/dev Wambo_Bomb, since he is the one who left me that APN when he gave me his old Evo.
i spoke too soon. my phone said the message was sent, which before it wasn't even doing that but they aren't getting the pictures on the receiving phone. back to trying out different roms :,-(
though i despise having 2 different numbers for messaging and despise having a app for text and another for mms i suppose i can just use my text free account from pinger for images and my phone for text. obnoxious but it is a work around i suppose.

Cricket 4g will never work on the og. The reason is simple cricket 4g is lte while the og is wimax. Now as far as mms that will work but you have to make changes to the apn. I have attached one that I know works but you will have to edit the username in the apn. Unlike most carriers each cricket user has a unique user name. It is your phone number here is an example ( [email protected]). Easiest way way to do this is get apn backup and restore from playstore. Backup your current apn and then copy this one into the apnbackup folder that was created and edit the username. Turn on airplane mode delete apn then restore the cricket_sprint.XML file. Reboot phone and turn off airplane mode.
As long as your settings are correct in qpst then this will get your mms working. If you need further help feel free to pm me.

thank you for the link ill give it a shot. as i said before I've tried MANY apn settings so i do know how to do it. every apn ive tried for cricket or metropcs though has had different numbers in the other lines. (NOT the MDN line, i know you have to put your number in the mdn line) My settings in qpst have to be correct or internet wouldn't be working as well, because as I said the cryogenmod 10 rom was the only rom that mms, (and everything eles worked) for even though the apn was set to sprit. (makes no sense to me but it worked) But the rom was pretty much unusable on my phone with how much battery it drained, (2 and a half hours and the batter was gone) how slow it was, (cpu usage was constantly at 998mhz) and the rom was all around confusing for someone SOMEWHAT new to this stuff with too many options i didn't understand.
I think its something other than apn settings because the cryogenmod rom worked for mms and internet though the apn was set to sprint. all other roms ive tried has had either sms not working and/or mms not working and/or phone not working and/or contact lists not working something for the basic phone functions causes force close errors with all other mods.
once again it didn't work. the pictures say sent but are not being recived by the person im sending them too. SMS that are too long and converted to MMS come arcoss as code to the person they are sent too. I dont understand why one rom with sprint apn settings would work but this one wont. is it possible for roms to change qpst settings? i cant tell anymore though as i cant enter diagnostic mode.
