My gs3 has been getting bad reception lately. My gf's HTC 1x and my gs3 used to get about the same service inside my house where now I'm getting 1 bar when she gets 4. I've tried everything I can think of to get a better signal. Flashed modems, changed apns, flashed back to stock, tried build prop hacks, nothing helped. Could this be an antenna malfunction? Are there any hardware mods that may help? Maybe something I've looked over. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Been having the same problems, always at 1 bar at my house, WiFi on makes it worse for some reason..

I just turned wifi off and went from none to 2 bars. But with the way my signal goes in and out it could just be coincidence........

Here is a list for different radios on i747: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
You can flash them in twrp or cwm.
Its a hit or miss depending on your phone and area.
I tried the latest release and am getting very good reception

Didnt realize they had a new radio. Really wasn't expecting the new radio to help since I tried the rest with no success but it actually fixed my issue I'm getting about the same service as my gf. Thanks alot.

I'm running a cm 10 nightly ROM, but my WiFi seems to be pretty weak compared to stock WiFi. Any tweaks, mods, or settings that could improve my WiFi... I only pay for 2 GB data lol, I want to use my WiFi at home, but my phone doesn't grab it, even though my touchpad and laptop grab it perfectly.
Thank you for any suggestions

Wrong section. If cm gives you trouble, why not use a different rom

So the past couple days my mobile connection is being cut off, for around 30-45 seconds every 10ish minutes. It comes back on its own but it's getting kind of annoying.
Also, my mom and brother have gotten lte on their phones which made its appearance yesterday for the first time in my neighborhood, and I have yet to get it, we live in the same house. You think maybe these have something to do with each other? On jelly bean running BlackJelly rom

Sounds unrelated, but does your GPS currently work? I had the same issue with data and LTE the other day and my GPS didn't work. But I've since been able to fix my GPS and that also fixed my data dropage (can't test LTE).

I opened up maps and gps is working fine, so is Google now. Is it possible that it's just a simple sim card issue?

It could be. It's more likely an issue with your APN. There's a specific one you have to use for LTE to work (under the assumption you're on ATT).

Has anyone else had an issue with the Gs3 not connecting to the hspa. I have called T mobile and had data reset but the issue keeps happening. I I have also flashed all of the available radios and same thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated I am currently running CM10.1 but the issue occurred on paranoid as well.

When I turn on my data it switches between 3g and 4g and I can't even figure it out
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
That is how it is supposed to work, nothing to figure out.
My gfs phones never switches or anything my phones does all the time
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What is she on and it never switches to what? If she hasn't updated her modem it will stay on 3g all the time. It is like this on every AOSP rom for our phone. Unless there is a theme that edits it out.
If speedtest says it's fine, it's fine.
It just switches from 4g to 3g all the time but I guess I'll have to live with it

I can't send any picture messages, I have a tmobile locked s3, not rooted or anything, please help. I've tried resetting the apn and everything, rebooting the phone etc.

Help!

Were you able to send mms before? Try sending while wifi is on and off.
It could be a network issue too. Does it say 4g in the status bar?
Call support to see if tgey have any problems on their end.
If not, you could backup all your data and factory reset. Other than that I'm not sure right off hand.

I have 4g, full bars, I tried with and without Wi-Fi, tried resetting the apn, even though I didn't mess with it in the first place. I don't get it.

Are you sending it with stock MMS app? And are you sure you can properly connect to the internet?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yes everything is stock, I have data because I'm using 4g to use Facebook, web, and currently this xda app.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
This is a total shot in the dark, so try if you want to.
Power off
Remove battery
Remove SIM
Replace SIM and battery
Reboot
I know it sounds strange. But stranger things have worked!
I still think calling support and finally factory resetting is your best option.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
I'll give that first part a shot, I really hope to avoid the second lol.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Well, it was worth a shot. Sorry I don't have a better idea right now.
Maybe Odin flash the stock firmware?

Too bad I didn't see this sooner!
I have had that problem on 3 different occasions....
The simplest and always the only fix was:
Called my provider (T-Mobile)
Asked them to remove me from the network, and re insert me (my phone, that is)
Removed the battery, waited 3-5 min
re-installed the battery, and booted.
sent a mms picture to myself, and Got it!
no real work on my end. It seems the re-insertion to the network is the "Fix" that makes it work.
This why Doc said to call his provider. They should've done this if he called.
On the online chat with tmobile.. if course they want to make me try the hundred things I already tried..

3 support transfers and they had to create a ticket for the guys upstairs, could take up to 3 days...Wtf.

I'd call back and tell them exactly what you read from bobo above. Tell em you looked up the problem online and saw several places that said the same thing. Ask for a supervisor if they still won't try.

It's all fixed after they put in the order. I was at work while it got fixed.
