Hey, this is my very first post here, so hopefully I'm in the right place and not repeating questions already asked, however my searches are turning up zilch in regards to the specifics of my issue.
I've had this problem follow me from rom to rom. I don't know if it started while I was still on Jellybean roms or after I hopped onto KitKat, but it has been with me for a while now.
When I'm going about my day, data will suddenly drop. The icon still displays 4G or LTE, but apps that need data won't connect and the browser just hangs. After rebooting, nearly always, the phone will be in 3G, even though the location has great 4G. It will work from here on out, or until it decides to crap out once again. It has done it with 3G too, though, the problem is not only with 4G.
In fact, I've noticed, especially as of late, that my service is awful. I can be in areas where I've usually had full bars, now I have just one bar.
On stock, I could just click PRL update or whatnot, but that's not an option anymore. Could it be that these sort of things are out of date? I'm really only familiar with flashing roms, not flashing kernels or radios.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
Carbon Rom (Nightly - released 07/07/14, I believe)
KitKat 4.4.4
Previous KitKat roms, same issue:
SlimKat
CyanFox
Carbon
Cyanogenmod
Paranoid Android
Make a nandroid backup, flash an MK3 (TouchWiz 4.3) ROM temporarily, if you're on the MD4 bootloader.
Then in the stock dialer, ##72786#.
After, update PRL and Profile. Then restore your nandroid and find out if that helped. You could also check to see if Sprint is working on upgrading your area.

I would like to find a Rom for My Boost Mobile Galaxy S 3. I have used a couple different roms and none were very stable, Kept getting "android UI has stopped" issues. I am looking for the latest stable custom rom for Galaxy S 3 Boost Mobile Variant.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
By CM or other do you mean other AOSP type, or TouchWiz included? ND8 /NDC TouchWiz 4.4.2 is very, very stable.

I am cool with a touchwiz ROM but I want to be able to tether and stuff like a aosp ROM. Really prefer an aosp Rom. Though. Link to that touch wiz ROM?
Thanks cheers
Almost every TouchWiz ROM has native free tethering any more. It's easy to flash it on stock rooted TouchWiz, too.

The first one is Wicked X. Stone of the early versions you still had to flash the tethering mod after, he might have it all worked out by now.
The second is what I'm running now, and he's making it more and more to look like AOSP, like all the way, so maybe you'd like it better. I believe it includes tethering and haven't tested that yet but again if not it's easy to flash.
You have to Odin the stock ND8 tar the first time before you flash any ND8 or NDC TouchWiz 4.4.2 ROMs. You'll find it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738533
That will wipe your internal storage so back that up first. The Odin the latest Philz Touch Recovery, use it to re-root, then flash away.
Never Odin anything older than ND8 after that or you'll brick your phone. You can still flash from recovery anything you want except not an older modem, too.

Your auto correct makes this question difficult to understand. What exactly is the issue? Ktoonez kernel is compatible with this device. Many folks swear by it. What's your issue please?

It is compatible. What modem are you using? Are you on KitKat? Try reactivating your phone by going into your phone dialer and pressing ##72786# give it awhile. Sometimes custom kernels take awhile to capture data.

A couple people have reported this recently. I don't know why it works for some and not others.

Greetings,
I am very new to the sprint S3 and i have only owned it for a few weeks now. I love the phone and its a huge upgrade from what i have been using. I have rooted a couple of phones and have used custom rom's and such but never on this device. I had a lg optimus T that i rooted and flashed.
I am thinking about rooting and flashing this device to cyanogenmod ( and i think the automated installer will work from the looks of it so far anyway ) but i have seen several times over the internet that some features of the phone might not work properly after the flash. Would i be able to return the phone back to stock rom if i flash over to cyanogenmod? Mind you right now i have no way to backup the nand or factory rom.
My phone has been updated to kitkat also if that matters.

To go completely back to stock with stock recovery and everything you would use Odin. You say it has been updated to KitKat. I assume you mean stock OTA ND8 so if that is true make sure you DON'T Odin anything lower. You will be able to start over on a shiny new phone if you do because this one will be toast.
Yes, you would just use Odin on a PC to flash the stock ND8 tar file and it would be fresh as a babies bottom. Well, maybe not but it would put everything literally back to how it was when it was brand new.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738533
It would also wipe your internal storage, so make sure you save pics, videos and downloads off of it (move to the MicroSD card) first.
Just NEVER ever Odin anything older than ND8, or try to flash an older modem than ND8 or you'll brick your phone.
It's a great phone, especially with KitKat! Enjoy and have fun!
P.S. FYI, questions go in the Q&A section.

It's appears that a majority of my apps won't notify me besides kik and Gmail, although all of others are enabled for notifications. I've wiped, uninstalled, and reinstalled, and it doesn't help. Restarted my phone a few times also. Not sure whats going on.
ND8 Stock Rooted, Stock kernel, no modifications.
Apps in question: text plus, snapchat, Facebook, Gmail.
Still nothing? Not one person? >_> can't be the only one with this problem
Are you using Greenify, or anything like it ?
I'm using greenify but it's it's not selected for any involved apps. I'll try removing it and see if it's just a kitkat incompatibility

You can add those apps specifically to Greenify's blacklist, so it'll definitely never hibernate them.

In the stock TouchWiz dialer, try ##72786#.
Then update PRL and Profile.
If that doesn't help, it sounds silly but it has helped some others. Try re-Odining the stock ND8 tar, then very latest Philz Touch Recovery and then you could just flash the already rooted but completely stock ND8 ROM.

okay after some CPU issues im back to running complete stock ND8 no custom recovery or root as of yet....but i want the "best" stock ND8 experience so what kernel should i use to be able to mod the stock rom and to be able to switch out ND8 modem for NDC modem....im probably gonna use Philz as my recovery again tho....any ideas would be grate and i have tried KToonsez kernel already (messing around with it gave me the CPU issues)
There's only, technically, four kernels available compatible with TouchWiz 4.4.2.
1. Completely stock kernel.
2. @CNexus' permissive modded version of the stock ND8 kernel (only difference between completely stock and this is it's permissive instead of enforcing).
3. @ktoonsez' KT747.
4. @CNexus completely custom one, which I can't recall what it's named.
KT747 is the most developed one. I look forward to trying @CNexus' custom one which I'm guessing won't be completely developed until his MOAR for TouchWiz 4.4.2 comes out.
