Connectivity Issues

Anyone else having connectivity issues with this phone? Just seems to disconnect from the network a ton.
I heard there was a rumor of 4.0.3 coming out soon from the Verizon rep. Can anyone confirm that?

The rep doesn't know anything more than you can read here.. 4.0.3 was halted for the nexus s so I doubt we will sew it soon. Try a new radio

I have flashed 4.0.3 to mine and the radio is the latest gsm version. Not much has changed and it still has poor cell reception.

Like seriously. This phone is great when it works. But thats only half the time. The other half I cant text or make a phone call. Its not just a lack of a few bars, its NO SERVICE at all...I'm not sure what gives here.
EDIT** Went to the Verizon store and swapped out my phone for another one. Apparently it was the phone itself that had issues. This new one works great.

[Q] AT&T radio on T999?

I've had many Android devices over the years and flashed a few ROMs in my day. I haven't messed with any of that in quite a long while though.
I've recently switched from all Sprint and all HTC devices to T-Mobile's Galaxy S3. I searched and found the thread about the Team Sonic modem flasher. I tried to read as much as possible but don't think my question is answered there.
Basically.. I get no service at my house and cannot manually select the AT&T network. Everyone with AT&T (including my girlfriend who has the S3) gets service here. Can I flash an AT&T baseband on my T999? I currently have UVLJ4 and get nothing inside and 2G outside whereas all the AT&T people get 4G in my house.
Hope this hasn't been answered before.
Thanks
Sam

Pretty sure that's a no-no.

I think you could flash the modem, but you need to verify they use the exact same partition on both variants. If it flashed to the wrong partition you're likely to hard brick the phone.
An att modem is not going to get you on the att network. I seriously doubt it'd even let you even make a phone call on tmobiles network, though it could happen. I can't figure any real reason (other than pure dumb luck) that another carriers modem would be better than one coded specifically for the network you are on.
Your best bet is to try out all the available modems we already have before thinking about trying another carriers fw.
And search again, but look in the development stickies too! You may find other things you could try. For the moment the modem flasher is quite outdated. I may work on updating it this coming week for those who are still wanting it. We'll see!

Will this no-no brick my phone or will I just not be able to get any service once flashed and then flash back? I've been trying to scour XDA and the rest of the internet for answers. So far I found this info..
"The modems in the GS3 are SDR or software defined radios. Their frequency TX and RX spectrums can be modified through software. The nice thing about the MSM8960 SOC board is that the radios can be programmed to virtually any current GSM, HSPA or LTE frequency in use in the United States today"
If this is true, I should just be able to flash an AT&T baseband, correct? Then again, I read that the T999 doesn't have the LTE compatibility that every other S3 has. Is this software or hardware defined?

Its a hw limitation.
Call tmobile and let them know the situation. Since you're new to their network I doubt they'd do it but I've heard of them providing a cell repeater to put in your home. Worst they'll say is no!

We replied at the same times and I did not see this until I had already posted. Thank you. I guess I will try previous T-Mobile modems and see if one happens to be better for me. All I want is to roam but the phone won't let me choose the AT&T network even though it shows up in the network search. Customer service told me you are unable to roam as long as a T-Mobile network is available at your location.
I do not want to risk bricking so I will stay away from trying the AT&T modem as I am not familiar with this phone or any flashing that has come about in the past 2-3 years.

GT1900M... on Rogers.... PLEASE HELP.

I do apologize in advance, but i am in desperate need of help. I purchased a bell unlocked GTI9100M off of this guy.. he had it unrooted, did something to it, and now it's a I9100... he told me it's unlocked and how i can use my rogers sim etc.. Here's the problem... my signal/data reception is horrible.. I constantly go from 3 bars 3g... to zero in the most random spots.. If im at a friends house, i will get no service.. in my own driveway i will get nothing, in my bedroom i will get 3 bars....
android version is 4.0.4
baseband: I9100XXLQ6
if i type in #*1234# i get the following..
pda: i9100xwlpt and my CSC: i9100xeulpa
there was another code that i tried typing for the USSC? however it said invalied MMI
i honestly have tried everything to get a constant signal and no go, this is honestly frustrating me since i don't know what on earth he did to it. I read that Bells frequency is compatable with Rogers . But I don't understand for the life of me, why I get extremely bad signal! I don't know if he made it to be set out as the international version, I just want to get this thing working, that's all. it's almost as if the phone is a vegetable in order to get a good signal strength... I did the whole rogers apn settings etc, and still no go.
Once again, I do apologize, but hopefully someone here can help me.
thank You.

I know he flashed the phone. Do i need to root it and get a custom rom to see if the aignal is better or do i jave to flash the rom back to bell?

Idk.... hence why I said check the i9100 forum

[Q] Help with RADIOS!!

I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus with Sprint running ParanoidAndriod 3.55. I think my radios are older and I need to update them. My baseband version shows L700.05 V.FC12 / L700.FC12 which I understand thier are newing radios out to download. I am having issues with signal lose making phone calls and what not. I live in a area where Sprint should have no issues with service wihich I have never had before. I am hoping that updating my Radios will help. Can someone please tell me which one are the newest and the best way to install them. Thanks.

The newest radios (ga02) are in the second post of this thread. You just flash them. :http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...rcery 5.3-Toroplus ~5/25~(Collectors edition)

You missed the stickied Sprint radio thread in the Sprint Dev sub-forum.

Thanked you by mistake, actually.
4G symbol on status bar is a cosmetic thing... Since LTE is considered to be 4G... and vice-versa

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Nexus Sprint L700

So, I thought I would ask here. I can't find a lot of information on the problem. There are sites that have contradicting information in google results, but mostly, nothing consistent. Hoping at least here I can get a why or a how to fix it.
So, as the title suggests, I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus L700 running Slimkat with Android 4.4.2 build 4 official. I think there's an update to that rom, but at this point I don't think the rom has anything to do with the issue. All roms have the issue.
So the issue in question. Sprint rolled out LTE 4G in my area but my nexus never gets it. I know we have 4g because my Galaxy Tab 3 picks it up all the time. When I look at the tab, the network is listed as LTE:14. However, no matter what I try, the nexus will only ever pick up CDMA - EvDo rev A. This is a 4G phone and I'm using the GJ04 LTE/CDMA radios, but I never get 4g. I get 3G just fine. For whatever reason, it's like the LTE radio on this nexus never bothers to activate.
What i've tried to fix this:
1. Different radios. I've tried them all, from FC02 to GJ04.
2. Different roms. Same issue on all roms. Doesn't appear to be a custom rom issue.
3. Doing the data settings to LTE only. This doesn't stick, it just goes back to CDMA. I'm told this is by design due to 4g being data only mode.
I don't know what else I can try. Sprint's only answer is to blame it on the custom rom. Which I can't necessarily blame them for, it did void my warranty, but even with the stock rom I still get no LTE.
Any ideas?

Well for sure one thing is to flash the stock rom and see if you get the lte connections.
second, try someone else sim and see if that fixes the issue.

Sprint Galaxy Nexus getting no 4g inside coverage area
I am having the same issue as the first post and have tried all of the same troubleshooting tactics with no prevail. I am currently running LiquidSmooth v3.1 4.4.4 KK baseband GJ04. I have contacted sprint and they are of absolutely zero help. Not only am I having 4g connection issues but I can barely receive 3g. I am located literally in what sprint considers one of their best 4g coverage areas in my area yet haven't been able to connect once. Please any help or insight as to a solution would be greatly appreciated.
