[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treblesum81:
I've tried all of these things and the best that I've been able to accomplish is to extend the amount of time the wifi will stay connected, but it will still eventually disconnect. I really think the issue is in the phone's modem, or at least some part of the signal processing chain, since I've not had any problems like these with my old phone and both the sprint network and wifi signals show full bars of signal strength while at the same time disconnecting or providing really slow service in the case of the 3G. As I've said before, I'm willing to accept the possibility that the 3G connection is the result of sprint's network either upgrading or just being bad, but if I can't at least have a reliable wifi connection in the meantime, which would still severely limit me, the phone is essentially useless since I use a lot of data heavy apps which require a good strong connection.

Luckily, I'm still in my return window, so I think if the S3 is really coming out tomorrow, I'll be exchanging it. I may have gone for HTC because I had a bad experience with Samsung, but my experience with HTC has been an order of magnitude worse.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] codexv:
I am having the same problem. No data outside of Wi-Fi. I can text and receive calls but thats about it. I'm rooted on MeanRom, but this started happening on Friday night when I was completely stock. I AM in a LTE city though. Could be some maintenance thing??? :eek:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NateN34:
As dumb as this may sound.........

Is your "Mobile Network" setting on in the settings? Also are you sure there is 3G in your area that is outside WiFi?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rc51rider:
I'm having the same problem! The 3g will disconnect and I have to reboot or just put it down for 10 minutes to get it back..

I use my phone like a computer and its so frustrating for it to just shut down the 3g right in the middle of a download, and the tower is within site of the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] codexv:
Yes, mobile network is on. This just started this weekend. Before I had pretty good 3g speed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JDM Civic EG8:
Count me in as well this is my second EVO and it does the same thing. I'm just happy it doesn't happen when downloading a rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
No issues here either,,must be whazoobobbits comin to git cha...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
The smith apk nor any other one is being used to dump ppl to 1x...the smith apk is more of a logger somewhat thing as to what exactly this one does and that one is not the one relegated to the smith micro and sprint mobile network director app deal that was struck awhile ago...the mobile network director is supposed to dump ppl to WiFi from network is all not to 1x...less someone can show differently...

The smith apk is by no means the ciq ordeal either so no worries on that front.

The thing effecting most connections is likely this new HTC smartsync as shown on here a few times...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parmend:
I feel your pain . My phone drops 3g about 20-30 plus times a day. Its sucks . I'm on my second phone. I'm waiting for lte roll out. I'm getting mixed reasons why its happening , sprint working on the towers or its a software issue . I'm curious though if people in non lte markets are having this issue , because I heard also its a problem with people in lte areas.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Warrior 3000:
5th replacement evo?

sounds like its you, not the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treblesum81:
If its something that has started on a phone that used to work, there is a better chance that its network issues / upgrades rather than a malfunctioning phone. That being said, you could always take it to sprint and have them run a diagnostic to make sure that nothing died inside the phone that could cause the problem.

To people like you who think it couldn't have really been phone issues with so many phones in a row, I exchanged for the S3 yesterday and do not have the same issues anymore. 3G is still slower than it should be, but it does not disconnect while there is a mobile network signal available and wifi has been rock solid for hours. This doesn't mean that all of the EVOs are bad, as I've met quite a few people who've had them work perfectly, and had the screen not been defective on my first, I would have been a happy EVO user right now since that one worked perfectly for days before I realized the screen problem. I'm also not trying to propagandize for the Galaxy either.. the EVO was faster and more "snappy", had a much better camera, was more durable feeling, and I really like sense better than touchwiz, but at least the issues I have with the S3 don't impact my ability to use the thing reliably.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] datruth_bates:
I am currently on my second EVO 4G LTE. This is after the first one activated and I called Sprint because of data issues, they took me through all the troubleshooting steps and failed. I switched back to Epic Touch 4G and had no problems. Hated having my EVO sitting there and reactivated and then data completely stopped working. They said somewhere in activation the Data connection was damaged and to return to Radio Shack. I got the New one and was without service for a week because it or no other phone would stay activated on their system. Took a group of Sprint Network Engineers to fix my line to accept it on. After the new EVO activated, it now averages over 30 data dropped connections a day. I am located in the Quincy Illinois area...I lean more to the Network and upgrades, and when your phone was activated. Could be wrong but I will see soon when I hit Montgomery Al...and a Sprint Store.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
Sweet, glad you found something that works for you. As the other posters indicated, your problems were or are very user specific and not the norm at all for this cell. You have to forgive some of the users here as we dealt with a ton of trolls post release and with the patience of helpers and swiftness of the moderators, they cleaned it up and kicked em out so its been quiet for a bit. The 3, 4 or 5 replacements sounded a bit 'fishy' but stuff happens as looks the case with you unfortunately. Eitherway, you have a decent runner up now that seems to work so all in all, you should be good to go!

Goodluck! Don't let the door hit ya on the way out (j/k) :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krobinso2295:
It could be a outage in your area. That's probably why you get a week signal, or you need to update your prl and profile.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
I'm sorry man, I'm sure your problems are legit but 5 epics then 5 evos... It will only be a matter of time before you're returning your s3 multiple times as well.

I have seen Incipio Feather for other devices, but I what is Feather Shine?? what's so different? I read through the descriptions, but it doesn't say the difference between two cases. Feather Shine is more expensive.

Feather Shine

http://www.incipio.com/Samsung-Gala...alaxy-S-III-feather-SHINE-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DINLONG:
From their site:

Using our unique, in-mold decorating technique, the feather® SHINE case features a radio-transparent brushed aluminum finish.

Looks badass by the way, I may have to order.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mentat6059:
had a feather case. Only took 2 weeks before it warped and became loose. I think they are too light weight. Replaced it with a Vipose metal backed case off ebay. Now that is a nice case
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DINLONG:
Interesting. My wife has always had feathers on her iphones without issues. Just got her one for her GS2 it seems as good as the previous ones. You must have gotten a bunk one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] skyva:
I have a red feather on my pebble blue s3. I quite like it, no problems with loose fitting.

The specs of the shine seem to indiacte that it is a bit thicker, 1mm for the feather, 1.65mm for the shine (for you imperial users, that is

6.21371192 × 10-7 miles v 1.02526247 × 10-6 miles).

So as you can see a fair bit thicker.:)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twoashj:
ahh both are different material. I thought one has only metallic look, not actual metal. :D Thanks for the posts.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] deom2i:
I guess i will go with Incipio feather case:good:. Does this case comes with Screen protector bundled?:eek:

How is incipio screen protector? anybody :confused:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] keyzjh:
Don't put too much hopes on it. It is mediocre at best. Easily scratched and there is a wee bit of friction present.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] deom2i:
Incipio Silicrylic pro is a better case, but it not available in most stores,:rolleyes: thats the problem. Incipio Feather case will be in stock in 4 days!

I believe incipio are better cases, right mate?:highfive:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jimbotron:
I'd stay away from feather SHINE. I read about how it decreases wifi reception in a different thread so I paid attention to it today when I got mine in the mail. It dropped 2 bars the moment I put the case on. It is also bulkier than I expected. Not what I was expecting from the "feather" collection. I'm getting a regular feather case instead.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samkee007:
Hi,are there any Samsung GS III 16 GB International Version owner got App2SD problem like I do? When I try to send apps to SD card by using App 2 SD ( pro or free don't matter ) The app said " The device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary external storage is emulated. Moving app to SD function may not be supported by this device. "

WTF?! This is a Galaxy S III using ICS 4.0.4 XXLF2 it doesn't support app to SD function? The phone does show the SD card and it's content ( songs,pics from previous phone ) but apps can't be moved there.

When I google it I've seen a lot of people got the same issue but no ones able to provide anwers.

So now I can only use the build in 16 GB. Can some one help to answer this if you know the reason why.

Thanks in advance

Nothing shows up, the phone will just boot to the Google logo with the pad unlocked. No matter what button combo I use it goes to the Google logo.

Does the MTP USB driver have anything to do with it? I have tried everything to get it recognized on my PC.

I ran OMAPFlash but nothing changed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=951WFCBe1m0&feature=youtu.be

(Filmed with my brothers HTC One X.. too bad the color on the camera is so yellow :S)

What happened, and how to fix it? It started when I upgraded to AOKP for x10 and continued after changing KERNEL and ROM to FXP 126 CM9.

Note:

- You can notice that all the color is correct within the second I do an interaction that causes a pop-up.

- Screenshots is in correct colors.

- white and black level does not change.

- Background is completely broken.

:good: Thanks!

Update from phone: XDA forums looks good in blue. ;)

Update 2: I'm 100% sure red and blue has switched.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THeLogiC:
did you flash the colour fix in AOKP thread?

It fixes colour issue
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xVenator:
Ohh.. missed that one. Thank you :)

edit: I do have some other problems too, if anyone can quickly answer them:

- I have lost all form of contact with my sim-card.

- Wi-fi is working, but the signal in the notification bar is only showing a gray wifi icon with some arrows poping up.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thinkDHRUVIL:
1. did you had enabled sim lock before installing CM9 ? it is supposed to be turned off.

2. wifi icon is like that only and the arrows popping up on that indicate the flow of data.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THeLogiC:
I dont think sim contacts can be accessed in cm9 yet( I might be wrong)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xVenator:
So with CM9, you can't call or use mobile network? O.o

Isn't that a bug they should focus on before adding more from the latest CM9 builds?

edit: Didn't notice it was 2 posts, sorry.

I have never touched the sim lock thing. Only skipped it in other ROMs when asked. So I'm not sure. :S

edit2: I tested without my sim-card, where it said I didn't have a sim-card in a small text at the bottom of the lock-screen. When I have the sim-card inserted it won't say anything. So it's a little difference.

I don't have to enter my pin code in either.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THeLogiC:
---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

Sorry I misunderstood you when you said contact.

insert your simcard in other phone and disable sim pin or go back to 2.3.3 and disable sim pin in simcard

then you can install cm9 and sim will be functional :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xVenator:
How can you disable the simlock in HTC One X, my brother got one of those :p?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thinkDHRUVIL:
actually you are supposed to disable sim locks in gingerbread before upgrading to ics based roms.

coz the current ics roms aren't yet programmed to ask for sim lock pin on reboot and hence the sim would remain locked and you won't be able to perform any network operations.

also about accessing sim phone book you can try this : go to dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* >> go to phone information >> hit options button >> view sim addressbook

(i haven't accessed this menu on ics rom but it will mostly work out. do try)

I'm still little confused, can i root sgs2, flash new rom-s, change kernels ? and do other stuff without bricking my phone ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You can brick anything if you don't follow instructions, or try to flash firmware meant for another device.

Read, follow instructions, and above all else, only use firmwares/kernels/bootloaders/etc that are meant for whatever particular model of phone you end up buying.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00135:
Ok, thank u both, ur answers are very important for me :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
The galaxy s2 is almost indestructible. Just don't mess with the repartition box or pit files in odin unless you are 100 % sure what you're doing. And make sure you are in the right forum. Eg if you have a i9100 don't flash a I9100G zip or vice versa.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolio:
Plus, if you buy your phone in your region, i highly doubt that it will be incompatible.

Another thing, 2 days ago I did my first root, flash, load of roms upgrade, heck I flashed my phone 18 times (binary counter claims) because I was afraid I had broken it and HEY!

Now I have ICS with a custom ROM which works great!

Just follow instructions like kilometers4 said and you will be fine!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00135:
How do u mean "if you buy your phone in your region, i highly doubt that it will be incompatible." , incompatible with what?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Right. I'm going to make this really simple for you, OK ? So make sure you read it really really slowly.

1) The 'emmc bug' - forget about it. Don't ever mention it again. It has been blown out of all proportion on here by people who should know a lot better. If I see you mention it one more time in this thread, I'm going to post an epic facepalm pic. You don't want me to do that, do you ?

2) When Bolio said 'I highly doubt it will be incompatible with your region', he meant if you buy that used SGS2, it should work OK in your region with your carrier. Nothing else. Just like the emmc thing you're trying to see something between the lines which isn't there. Stop being paranoid/difficult.

3) As CTomGee said, people who brick their phones on here tend to be the ones who don't read or follow instructions. If you do read/follow instructions whatever you do with your phone (rooting, flashing custom roms), you should be fine. The chances of you bricking your phone increase with how little you read/follow instructions.

Now then. This thread has seen enough ridiculousness. You have enough information to enable you to make a decision whether to buy the phone or not. If you don't, read the Stickies. Either way, decide.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Fas1h:
I only installed chainfire 3d yesterday, and battery just became utterly awful. Last night after charging to full, I went to sleep. Woke up 7 hours later, to find the battery completely drained out :S COMPLETELY!!! And when I connected the charger and tried booting up the phone, I kept ending up in CWM-recovery.

Question, does it sound like something chainfire 3d would do? Or can it be something else totally unrelated to CF3d?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aloy99:
Try power off from CWM and do offline charging.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Fas1h:
Yeah thanks, did that, and kept trying to start the phone until I finally succeeded :)

Just uninstalled/removed CF3d. And battery consumption has gone back to normal, but I also uninstalled swapper 2. I think I should reinstall swapper at least.

Anyway, is it CF3d issue? Or was it just one of those random issues I faced only?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonb39:
I am experiencing issues registering on the network. I have tried half a dozen radios, but the problem persists. It is not specific to a ROM. I am currently running Darkside Evolution 3, but I have experienced the same problem on CM9, Slim, and Black. Currently, I am using the stock UVLE1 radio I downloaded from here shortly after the official ICS release, and I have had marginally better luck with it. When my phone boots up, it shows no service or searching. When I go to the mobile networks menu and select T-Mobile or automatic, I get an unable to register on network error. Same for when I run the USSD code for automatic network selection. I have tried replacing the SIM card. I have no problem at all with wifi calling when I'm using a ROM that supports it. No matter how long I keep my phone searching, it will never register. If I continually power cycle, eventually (sometimes after 5-10 attempts), it will register, and I will have no further problems until the next time I have to power cycle. This did not occur until immediatelt after the first time I updated to an ICS ROM, so I do not believe it is the device itself. I have also noticed that there is a higher probability of registering if I turn off wifi before I power cycle, but it still can take a few attempts. Is this something everyone is experiencing? Does anyone have any advice or a fix? Thanks in advance.
