As the title says, starting a phone call causes my connection to drop from 4G to 3G. It is restored as soon as the call ends. I'm currently using the Liquidsmooth ROM, and since I can't remember whether stock did this as well I can't tell if it's an issue with the ROM or if that's just standard GS3 behavior.

I'm not sure if it is or not but it's better on your battery anyway and data really doesn't matter during calls.

Look at post 3625 in the Q&A thread for task's ROM...pretty good explanation about why you're seeing that issue.

Okay, here's my weird thing.
I recently switched my Droid Incredible to Synergy's GingerSense phone mod. When I did that, any call I place to my roommate's cell phone crashes his phone app and kicks him off the 3G network for a few moments.
Well, I figured this was some weird ROM issue, and I changed ROMs to the HTC Desirable rom. That didn't help. I've tried reprogramming my phone by calling *228. None of this helps.
This does not happen to anyone else that I call. He's currently using Synergy's GingerSense mod for the HTC Thunderbolt. I am the only person whose calls crash his phone apk.
What the heck is doing this?
Id say its his rom not yours. I dont see how your rom calling him would make his phone crash, I dont think thats possible.

I agree, but it would be pretty bad ass if possible. I'd be calling everyone, then.

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:

I have a S3 i747 in canada on koodo (telus towers) and recently i have been in areas with poor 4g reception and am on 3G for the most part. i have noticed that none of my applications which use mobile data function on 3G though, i have looked around and found a few posts relating to DNS issues but it seems to be more in general data not working and doesn't seem to apply. I have my phone set to LTD/GSM/WCDMA and the APN is set propperly from koodo, pulled off their website. Any help appreciated.
Thanks
EDIT: I should note i am running Paranoid Androind 3.6 but have also noticed this issue on CM and Carbon

flash a stock type rom and see if it helps. I'd do that before consulting the carrier. I doubt they would cut you off from earlier generation speeds
Hi everyone,
I know that alot of users asks for this question but I really search for an answer but I didn't find a good one.
I recieved a T-mobile galaxy s4 and immediately rooted it and installed a new rom (Insane kit kat)
But after short time I understood that my calls not always works as they should.
After two calls suddenly I stopped to hear the other side and the other side stopped to hear me.
I tried a few times and sometimes the call was good and sometimes not.
I asked on the Rom thread and they told me to switch my modem to nb4 and i did it... but the problem remains....
I also switched the kernel to KT but also... still no luck...
And today I also switched the rom to Resurrection Remix and it worked for few hours but the problem returned and stayed....
So someone got a good idea to what should I do before I take the device to a lab..?
And I hope this thread will help otherslike me that got the same problem...
Thanks!

Yes, once you go stock you will loose root. BUT, lets see if that fixes your call issues first.

Flashing this over custom rom and then rooting will give you rooted/stock Rom?
No special precautions to take if you're on a custom rom?

So.... I returned back to stock, at the first attempt the WIFI didn't worked so I flashed again and then I started to make calls... but..
after few good calls the problem returned again...
In my opinion I really think that the problem is in the software and not in the hardware because I can make some regular calls.
The sim is brand new but the cell company that I belong to is working with roaming only and based on other cell company network...
I'm really hopeless.. it's really sucks....
any more ideas?

You mean a "hardware" problem? If you returned to full unrooted stock and you calls are still messed up you have 2 choices....
1. Return it for warranty purposes.
2.ReRoot and run a custom rom again just to make sure.
Other than that, I'm outta ideas

I know this is a long shot but have you tried shooting canned air into the mic and speaker, or using a headset? Canned air has fixed two mystifying problems for us, and it seems equally likely that this random behavior is caused by hardware.

I know Sprint's network used to ignore texts that were sent to close together. Maybe custom roms send texts to quickly, causing the network to ignore the second one.

The problem isn't sending, it's receiving. I don't get the second parts. Everyone has no problem getting what I send. I'm probably either gonna reinstall my rom or put the latest Kitkat on it
