3G issues - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm having a lot of issues with my 3g. Don't think it's Rom or kernel related though. My 3g just drops and takes forever to connect and I even did the soft reset with 611 today on tw and nothing.
Any body have any ideas? Lol

Join the crowd, I think it's Sprint, here in Louisiana, they say they've finished 3g upgrades, I can't tell a difference at all. Some spots seem to be better than others. Seems at night I get better speeds. Mine does the same as what your describing, AOSP or TW has nothing to do with it for me. Luckily I can connect to Verizon's 4g most of the time.

Only thing is is this just started happening a week ago.
How do I connect to Verizon's 4g?

I'm roaming on their network, because where I live, still no Sprint 4g. I just turned LTE on one day, and voila, 4g.

Have you tried Reprovisioning your data ? You can call Sprint, or you can do it yourself. Dial ##72786# in the dialpad. The Device will reboot once, or twice while it is setting up. Just let it do it's thing.

Is there anyone else on Sprint you know in the area ? Just to help you get a better idea of what's going on.

Try a different Rom. Just to rule out the possibility. If that doesn't correct it, I would ODIN back to Stock. See if that resolves the issue.

I would get rid of that modem. Try EE03 or the EH17 modem.

i get a similar issue. anytime i move my phone more than a couple feet, 4g drops, and has a hell of a time reconnecting (even one side of my bed to the other and it drops 90% of the time.) So, it's mostly a coverage issue, but it also seems to be a bit of a hardware/software failing.
Do that thing to make 4G connect at -110dbm instead of the factory setting of -89dbm. It is the How to get better 4G signal" thread.

Yeah I agree. The reason I say that is because one of the guys here has Metro and he's having really spotty connection as well all of a sudden.
The merger did go through, I got a letter from T-Mobile in the mail yesterday about the merger.

I am having the same issue. Is anyone living in the dfw area on tmobile network having data issues? I go outside I get 15 mbps I sit in my house I get 300kpbs. Ive called tmobile and they are looking into it. But its been like this for almost a month now. You should call them and tell them whats going on. First call customer care and tell them the issue. They gave me credit on my account because why pay for something that dont work right then they'll connect you to tech support. Good luck. If we get more people to call in maybe they do something nationwide.

You don't have wifi ? because wifi calling is great...but conversely you might try turing your phones wifi off at the house and restart..I had a problem at first as the phone would jump off the gsm network and on to a bad wifi signal

Problems with 3g data

Anyone else have the sprint version of this phone and have problems with 3g data at times. For example it sometimes says I have full bars but Facebook will say that I don't have a connection at all. I'm wondering if its the phone or does sprint just have crappy 3g in LA? What do you guys think?

That upload speeds are faster because they're not as heavily impacted by users as download speeds are. In other words, your local site is over capacity and its resulting in slower speeds for everyone. Once sprint upgrades your site, it'll be epic.

This is what I've heard that we are getting lte around here (sprint rep told me when my calls kept dropping) and I was driving down 287 by Bridgewater and had a spot of lte. Hopefully we can stop this. Its happens more and more each day that I'm feeling bad to text ppl. Its gotta be annoying to get the same text 5 times.

Think this is exactly what the problem is low signal and it continues to try sending the message over and over until it registers on sprints end that it's been sent/received... I've been sprint customer for ages and have had similar MMS issues when signal was funky, granted on different phones but still sprint... What's weird is in last 24 hours I've all of a sudden started getting 4g at my house and have started getting these weird problems MMS issues as well, multiple incoming and outgoing.. Wife picks on me... Lol, if we can get some logcats multiple users we might he able to start pinpointing these across the board issues
