[Help] Network Issues - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hey, so I just flashed the illusion ROM, and I wanted to change the DPI. So I followed the steps and right when I rebooted to click accept in the market, none of my networks turn blue to confirm connection. They're all gray and the market says no connection even on full bars of 4G. Any ideas hire to fix this?

I know it seems obvious but reboot the phone.
It could also be a tower having problems.

I've tried that, but to no avail, it stays gray. Maybe it's the towers.

Call support, they can check and let you know for sure.

So, is the phone coming on and working just fine but the phone part of it isn't working and 3g?
Do you still have an MSID in phone status under settings?
Did you try reset of services: ##72786#?
Yup. Wifi, 3G, 4G all work.

I'd say bad flash. Corrupt data. What method did you use the first time?

Unknown for 4G

Precursor: I have tried multiple roms both ICS and JB.
Ever since I rooted GB27 after doing all the OTA after getting my referb I can't turn 4G on. The status goes from Unknown to Enabling back to Unknown. I have 3G just fine, can connect to Wifi just fine, just can't enable 4G. Any ideas? I've tried a couple different things I've found here but so far nothing is working. My next step is reflashing my ROM with no external SD card in.

Have you tried flashing different modems? If you are running GB27, then you have to run a jb modem. But you can't flash modems through mobile Odin, has to be done through pc or cwm.

The modem is separate from 4G. have seen something like this before and it was a hardware issue... Another instance was because of a virus protection app that was installed on the users device.

I was about to make him feel really dumb... But, I decided not to. I have an image now and I have to be good if I want to keep my RC. But every once in awhile I can't contain the rage and I have to lay into the offending party or I might esplode.

3G/H+ issue in AOSP ROMs

Hey guys, I guess this has been reported before but I've never seen solutions or explanations for it. On AOSP ROMs, data works when it displays "H+", when its in "3G", it stops working, but thing is, sometimes I have to turn off data and back on again for it to work properly because it stays stuck in 3G

That's a rom related issue, not all aosp ROMs have that issue.

Yep, that's the fix I used to use.

Also, simply toggling airplane mode on/off can help. Itll ensure you are connected to the best possible tower.

Using latest md5, can I use that old team sonic flasher that's around here? Also, I've heard of some people saying their phones get hotter with md5, mine does so too, any ideas on that?

You can use it, though it hasn't been updated in a very long time. Only thing we know of so far for the md5 heat issue is to use a different modem.
You can flash any modem as long as it is for your model.

Yep just flashed the previous one from md5 from your thread (ljc I think) and its working better. Heat is less and data seems to be more consistent

Good deal. Let us know if you have any other problems or if it starts exhibiting the same ones again.

Can't call or text

But data/ internet seems to work. Stays in data roaming most of the time. Was on swamp monster and stock. Sprint couldn't fix it either. All of a sudden it started doing this. I also have a second note2 with SwampMonster and that phone works great. Also have a s3 on wicked sensations that works great as well.
Any ideas?

Are you in an area where Sprint is currently upgrading their towers/service? That has been known to cause issues.

Best advice would be to find one of the signal checker apps in the play store and see what signal strength you're getting. If it's weak you know the problem is with Sprint. If it's strong then you would need to look deeper into your phone/ROM/firmware etc.

How to set/write a custom PRL on Optimus G?

Hello, I need help to set a custom PRL on my optimus G.
Just so this thread isn't flagged, I am not trying to do anything illegal. The sprint tower is down around here from the storm, and I just want to roam so I can send/ receive text messages. I will pay any calling on roaming fee and I am not going to use my 3G / internet on roaming. I am not trying to be forced out of my contract, I just want to be able to use the phone until the tower is back up.
I have had to do this once before on my Galaxy S3, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks again.

Did you ever get this situated? Or is the tower back up? I forget where I saw it but I remember finding hybrid PRL's that made your phone go into roaming (off VZW or something) and it would probably help you.
This might help if you still want, it's pretty freaking old but still, the concept is there

Thank you. They put the towers back up. This phone is a lot harder to set custom PRL. The S3 had just a dialer code lol! But thank you. I hope that link will help someone else too!
