So I got a new SGS3 and it works fine, except when I am in 3G. When I am in 3G I can receive and place calls but no data. Att support was no help, so I figured I would check here. As far as I can tell it is either a APN, Gateway, or Account settings issue (the later being something I can not do anything about). I say this because my n1 gets signal fine here, and it seems to run fine, so long as it is 4g.
Any ideas? Also, does the SGS3 have EDGE support?

Bump: And also I tried to set an old APN but that didn't help.
Have you rooted and flashed it or are you stock? If you are just stock...there is nothing this forum can do to help really.

I have not rooted or anything, I have tried some APNs but I was hoping other people might help me out with something else to try. I don't really buy the whole " if you are stock... there is nothing that can be done" What if I was trying to get help with a stock developer build of my n1 (which I have previously) or are you asserting that without rooting I will not be able to fiddle with the modem settings?
What I'm saying is the phone comes ready out of the box. Unless you have changed something then it is a network problem. You will have to take it up with AT&T.
U can only do so much stock....and thats not alot! Root and use stock rom so u will have root access to see whats what...and to be able to control what u do or dont want ur data to do

Thank you guys for trying to help but I know all this. I am just in the period of time I can take it back and I don't want to risk that by bricking it while monkeying around.
I (Maybe) have isolated the problem, they said that I was set up for LTE and there are some issues with proper propagation of properties. Anyway problem "May" only effect people on ATT with Samsung S3s bought at BestBuy locations and the upgrade includes unlimited data. Still working will update tonight....
BUMP!
This started a while ago. Even using Handcent I can receive MMS but not send it out. It says that they have been sent but they never get received on the other end. It worked perfectly until I flashed to FC24, and I just installed CM9 thinking it would help but it didn't.
It's a SPH-D710 on Sprint network
I already tried deleting the telephony.db file clearing data/cache and rebooting. That didn't help. I found a BoostMobileMMSFix.zip but I'm assuming that won't work for me, even though they were describing the same problem. So I'm a at a loss. Any help would be awesome. I saw references to a ##DATA# method for this problem but couldn't actually find out how to implement it.
Thanks a lot
I can't imagine that I am the only person out there on the Sprint network that this has happened to. Hopefully someone will be able to shed some on the situation soon.
Question---- if I updated with the BoostMobileMMSFix.zip... would it do something horrible to my phone? Or would it simply not work? Is it worth trying?

Hi, a similar thing happened to me recently on my phone and it turned out that because it is a work phone they changed the settings for my phone to block outgoing mms. Is your phone a work phone? Have you tried restoring your nandroid backup (I assume you have one) of your original ROM and checking to see if it works on that? If it doesn't then its something on the carrier side of things :/
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Well I don't think it's something on the carrier side of things, because it started happening IMMEDIATELY after I flashed out of my stock ROM. Unfortunately, I don't have a nandroid backup because when I started this endeavor I was such a NOOOB and I did it hastily.
Could this be an NVRAM issue? Would it be worth resetting that? If so, can you tell me how please?

So I just went all the way back to EK02 and still could not send MMS. After a few Sprint auto-updates I'm in ICS again with FH13. Still no MMS. I tried to update the APN settings (while I was still in CM9 before I flashed to EK02), but I don't think I did it right. I updated the settings to what I found here (http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-sup...86-fixed-sprint-mms-problem-apn-settings.html) but that did not help. Every time I saved it I went from having Sprint listed in the APN settings to having nothing. In other words, it disappeared. Currently thinking I will just stay here till I figure it out. Maybe call my carrier (which is actually CREDO, but it's on the Sprint network)... could be something on their end, right?

Good call on that one. I assumed since they're on the same network they'd use the same settings. They don't. But I still have a problem. I am on CM9, so I can't use a third party app to restore APNs.
I found CREDO's settings here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824916
However, the list of parameters in the xml there does not match the settings I can modify in the APNs manually in CM9 (accessing it through Voice Dial). Is there another way to restore APNs in CM9? Or can I some how flash backward to Gingerbread, restore, and then flash back without changing the APNs?
Please help, I feel like I'm getting so close to figuring this out!
EDIT: brooksyx -- your link goes to the same post on a different site. i didn't see that before i found the one here. Thanks for searching for me!

thankss Bannjio for your reply. are u on boost mobile too? also are you using stock ICS FH13? cuz ill be honest i never tryed updating the profile or PRL to see if it fixed the problem. and now since i couldnt send MMS iam running the older gingerbread EL29 where my MMS works fine.. but if i can find a Fix for MMS to go back to FH13 ill be happy.cuz i do remember doing something like what you just told me but on my old EPc 4G . now since this a second generation of the Epic Touch i dont know if it is he same story. i just dont want to redo my phone again toFH13 and update the PRL or profile and endup with the same thing about no MMS again.. thanks
No problem, I can see not wanting to reflash only to have it not work. I am on sprint not boost mobile, and on a custom rom not stock fh13. However, the problem arose for me when I switched from an ics rom back to a gb rom. Mms didn't work on the gb rom until after I ran prl and profile update.
If you end up giving that a shot, be sure to let us know how it goes. Sorry I can't be of more direct help.

Anyways, can any one help me. I updated to jelly bean OTA, and since then my LGOG does not like to send text messages out. My phone will not send messages shorter than 10-20 characters. Im in the CHICAGO area. No problem receiving them, just more often then not i get a failed sent. I have tried resetting the phone hard/soft. I took my phone into sprint and they said I need a new phone. Wtf! Anyone have this issue, or have any ideas to resolve this?
Im pretty disapointed right now, the phone was flawless before the update! Never had a single problem before. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE.. In conclusion,if anyone is interested, I believe the new jellybean update just doesn't play well with my towers in my area of Chicago. With the jelly bean update my voice signal was excellent, but the data signal was degraded. I always noticed, with ics while 4glte was connected, the voice signal was less. With jelly bean it seemed to be just the opposite at all times, great voice so so data connection. Only if i could have both and jellybean wtf?? Maybe someone could help me on here and explain a radio/jelly combo i would have best of both worlds.
Seems to be a Chicago issue.
**Either way I aquired LGNPST and original TOT file and reflashed the phone with original software and have not accepted the jellybean update for now.**
If you would like me to host the files needed PM me, I'll send you links.
I suposed I could have tried to reflash ZV9/ICS or ZV9 radios, but I bricked the phone before trying that.
I must have got the best phone out there. I've never had a problem with any software version we've had.

I have not tried the ## but ill give it a shot. Sprint may have done that.
More on this issue, it seems just not to send short messages. Like lol, no, yes anything shorter than a sentence. I have noticed tht long texts send fine, and picture text seem lightning fast. Whch is great, but cant respond to someone with a simple yes or no. Wtf
I have also noticed a bigger delay between automatic switching between 3g and 4g. Before the update the switching was seamless.
I have also rooted and reflased the ota, same issue. I did not flash the radios seperate tho.
The ## did not fix my text issue. Sprint store did do this as well.
Still have this same issue anyone figure anything out? Anyone have anymore suggestions i can try? Sprint does something on their end, and restore the phone with ## and it works for an hour, then back to the same issue.
Peteyo, are you in Chicago? Maybe it's it's a network issue. I'm having the same problem and so is my buddy. I can't believe more people aren't coming forward with this if it's a national thing.
But let me know if you find a fix, and I'll do the same. And you're right, it only happens on short messages!
Im in Chicago and having the same issues, even with other messenger apps that use stock mms, I also use whats app and have no issues. They seem to be random some send and some don't. If there is a fix please post it is a pain .

***If you have this issue please call sprint, so they are aware of issue****
I have chalked it up to LG sucking! or I supose it could be sprint. The JB update they pushed changes the way the phone communicates with the towers. I grabbed bits and pieces from other threads with data problems and came to that conclusion. It doesn't appear to make issues with everyone, or have the same problems.
What i did, and what maybe the easiest is to reflash the phone back to its original form out of the box. Also im not accepting the ZVB/jelly bean update that messed up our phones. To return to original state, u must aquire LGSNPT, and Sprint`s original tot file. You can find these two in the developer sections. Its really easy and painless and get you right back where u need to be. The toughest part is putting your phone into download mode. vol+ vol- and power buttons.
Make sure u back up your pictures/things you may want to keep.
Option 2 you can **** around and try to find an ICS file, root your phone, and flash it back to ics. Or better yet root and flash ZV9 radios.
However im not sure if these will work. I have not been able to find ZV9 radios.
Option 3 if you have insurance get a new reman phone, or if no insurance pay sprint 50bucks for a reman phone. But you will still have the same issue if you update to ZVB/jellybean.
I wish I new more about this stuff and make a custom radio that has the voice improvements from ZVB/Jellybean, and the data from ICS/ZV9. Probably not even possible.

The strange part of all of this is that my text messages will always send if they are greater than about 10 to 20 characters. Anything smaller than that amount will give me a send failure. Has anyone else had that experience?
Data and Cell Reception have been stellar for myself since the update -- I believe I was having the texting issues before OTA (though I wasn't rooted at that point)

Don't you feel a greater level of sophistication when you have to type an entire sentence?
I'm sure it's Sprint trying to cut down on their SMS costs, but I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
Funny! I guess I should have just added a bunch of quick messages that are complete sentences for a yes or no answers. And the lesser 4g reception does slow down my midget porn downloading. Maybe it really is a win win...

I not clear on what you're asking. I'm running a doexidiezed stock MC2 rom. I see there is a Hotstop toggle in the settings for Wireless and Network. Since I don't subscribe to Sprint's hotspot service, I don't know if it works or not. I use Trev E Mod's WiFi tether instead.
Don't know about the zip file you seek.

If you used the same download to flash both phones I would just reflash the one without hotspot. If you used different downloads then I would redownload then reflash. Phones can be very individualistic and quirky. What doesn't take in one flash will take in another and what works on one phone won't always on another. Just ask any of the Devs putting out ROMs
As to the zip you are looking for I have a copy and you can download it here.
so you have two different phones. I assume both on MetroPCS. Are they both SPH-L900 (the sprint GN2 variant)? Did you have the exact same rom on both? You're leaving a lot of out, and we're having to guess on the info that's needed to make a good suggestion.
My initial though, is the rom suppose to have the hotspot? It's possible it was removed.
And even if was there, I have no idea if it would work. one, I don't know if Metro offers hotspot service. two, I'm not sure where the hotspot would try to go--metro or sprint.

The phones r both exact ssme sprint galaxy note ii sph l900 both on metropcs I download the rom to an sdcard put it in one phone flashed the rom removed the sdcard put it in the other phone and flashed it I have redownload the rim seversl times and flashed it to both phone several times same results everytime. I don't beleave it was removed from rom cause its on one phone but not the other I have wiped everything on both phones before flashing the rom several times this makes no sense to me also reguaedless of be on metro the hotspot app will not go to sprint it will go to metro or where your internet is programmed to (m.I.p. and ppp) ofcouse u have to unlock the hotspot in services.jar for it to work but that's not a problem I have done this many times and flashed hundreds of phones. I honestly am not even interested in the hotspot working just wana know y its on one phone and gone on another
well, that's definitely a quirky situation. Not a clue. I assume it was there with the previous ROM? You may have to format the phone, not just wipe the divack, cache and system. Something from the previous ROM and the new ROM may not be playing nice and somehow is still around despite the wipes you've been doing. Although, I don't think this is the likely scenario, it does occur here and there.
I'm not familiar with all the things involved with taking a phone to a different carrier. I know has more work than just a new ROM.

Im not sure wat is was but I downgraded to jc then back to mc2 and now its there. Changing carriers takes so settings chages in the nam programming for your mdn, min, mcc, mnc, sid also m.i.p. and ppp for internet and changing the prl. The mms is where people have trouble at for the most part just changing prl will give u talk and txt ( after dealing with getting your meid into the carriers inventory )
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
sounds like something didn't get removed when you went from whatever to MC2. At least you found a solution.
I didn't think switching carriers on the phone was the most difficult thing to do. I just knew there was more than just changing ROMs. Since I never looked into switching carriers seriously, what I learned about was more casual. I just know it's more difficult with Sprint having the built in SIM cards compared to other phones that do not.

sounds like something didn't get removed when you went from whatever to MC2. At least you found a solution.

Actual the Sim being built in makes no difference sprint is the easiest to do Verizon locks the bootloader sprint dont and sprint always uses Samsungs default 16 digit password as for the Sim it doesnt matter u dont use it anyway only the 3g modem u cant get lte with different carriers and yes more to it then a ROM actual I stay on stock ROM most the time but changeing carrier isnt very hard

It's been said a few times that SELinux settings have an effect on mobile connection on some phones, not all, but some. Mine being one of them, that theory has also been criticized, ironically by those who's phones do not suffer from the issue. Anyways, if your trying a 4.4 ROM and have no APNs, no baseband, IMEI etc grab SELinux mode changer from the market, set to Permissive and be on your way. Why or what causes it is beyond me but changing to Permissive solves it. It takes a few seconds after boot for supersu permissions, a few seconds then for your APNs to be populated and baseband, after that you will get mobile connection working.
Hope this helps someone else fighting the same issues. Here's a video showing before and after, a little wait at the APN screen the second time for them to be populated. Also, sorry for the quality, just easier to record the screen directly compared to holding a camera.

Glad it was of help, just passing on what I have read and tried to make it easier to find so made a thread for it, some of us have the issue but appears the majority do not.
I had the issue initially when installed with twrp, did it once again with cwm, worked like a charm. Good info to keep in mind though.
anybody got the apk handy they can upload? flashed the latest cm nightly not knowing it was 4.4.1, and the store won't connect via wifi for whatever reason.. i'd rather not have to do a clean install to get my phone working again.
Thanks.
Nevermind, I managed to pull it from the woman's unrooted moto x. It's here if anyone else needs it..

just out of curiosity. vAre you guys having any issues with the AOSP roms slowing down the data speeds? I know people have said for a long time since GB I think that the tw roms are much faster than AOSP I never saw that on HSPA+ but I am on simple moble and they just turnrd on their LTE and my phone gets an average of 28 down and 14 up. on tw roms but on AOKP or other AOSP roms it gets 8 up and 3 down. Like the lte is not working. Anyone else have these problems?
I love you.
