Help with texting

Hello this is my first post. So tell me if I'm doing anything wrong. Okay onto my story, when I reply to a text it shows in top of the recent text I received. Like if someone texted me "you coming over?" I would respond with "yea be over real quick" but my message would appear on top. It would look like this.
(yea be over real quick)
(you coming over?)
But if I wait like 5 minutes later then respond my text box would be on the bottom.

You haven't told us if you're on stock or running a custom rom, rooted, etc. When did this start happening?

It started when I first got. This is stock. Not rooted or anything. I tested this on my dad's s3 and same problem.

I would start by clearing the messaging cache. Settings>apps>all>messaging
Then I might try booting into recovery and wiping cache if that didn't work
Did you and your dad update the firmware to jellybean or is that what it arrived with?

It came with jelly bean 4.1.1.

Go to settings and then choose "date and time" and it really should be set on automatic date and time and automatic time zone.

Wow you guys are awesome!! Thanks so much.

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.

Sorry, I was trying to help. Yea, the question would be nice to hear.

From the looks of it his card is permanently blocked. I would assume this is his issue. But probably better to hear what he or she has to say

I downloaded one of the clock work mods rom and mistakenly hit protect sim card. Now i can't flash roms doesn't have aroma installer on them. Any roms that have 150 mb i can't use. It'll say phone lock use puk code.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

How could the SIM card be locked if the Sprint GS3 doesn't even have one? Maybe the OP flashed the wrong ROM?

If that's the case you only have to type the PUK(personal unlock key) code.
To get it do the following:-
Call your service provider's customers care from an another phone with the same service provider and then give your sim's 20 digit number(it's printed in the SIM).Now they will give the PUK.Just type it and your phone should get unlocked.

What ROM are you running? Are you sure it was for the Sprint variant (d2spr)?

Yes it was for Sprint when I had it. Now I'm running hyperdrive 13.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Hyperdrive 14 is a universal ROM that doesn't seem to have carrier specific variants. If the problem started on Hyperdrive, that could be why. I don't have any experience with that ROM so I can't really help but with that info, maybe someone else can.

I'm sorry at the time when my phone started saying sim locked was when i was using cynogemod rom. I guess that's how you spell it. My daily driver is hyperdrive 13.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Sprint phones do have a sim card and it's built into the device. They are not remove able. I have heard of sim cards going bad. Search the sprint S3 section on sim card issues.

[Help] Network Issues

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.

Just did a clean flash of the ROM, and it went back to normal! Thanks though!

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.
