[LG Optimus Black] SoulExertz:
The issue could be the translator of CM has mismatched language encoding
[LG Optimus Black] Navios92:
So could it be fixed?!
[LG Optimus Black] SoulExertz:
Yes. Get A KANGer to do it
[LG Optimus Black] Navios92:
Okay explain more please :D
[LG Optimus Black] SoulExertz:
A KANGer is someone like temasek. He has the ability to compile but no ability to fix bugs. he uses cherry picks(Commits to CM7 For eg) which are not used in the official CM version. maybe useless picks like the operator stuff could be left out
[LG Optimus Black] Navios92:
I contacted temasek, boype and tantrums :D , I hope they can help

and thanks man for your help :)

Wifi Problem

Are you suer you are in a good distance of wi-fi singal? Because sometimes it happens to me too... you see the wifi, so you click to connect and when you enter password a click connect, it disappers, becasue you are too far away from the wi-fi....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackiron:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drifter94:
my case is even stranger: i had cm9 alpha 4 and everything (apart camera and radio) worked like a charm, even wifi

then i tried the 'update' to fix the camera and camera worked but now that i'm back home (i was on a vacation when i modded the phone) i've noticed the wifi doesnt work no more.. now trying alpha 5

edit: everything works like a charm now : alpha 5 + update for camera.. remains radio and tethering to fix GO DEVS

edit 2: i'm having a hard time installing the gapps o.o i'm going to try again wiping once again everything

Edit 3: doesn't work.. i tried going back TO alpha 4 and again gapps don't work.. I tried downloading them again and nothing changed.. should I go back to 2.3.6 and wait????

PD: iwlist scan also doesn't work

good luck!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] soljaofjesus:
I love the phone and having the hardest time resisting turning the phone back in. I'm on my 2nd S3 and my third Sim card. Everything appears to be going well but I noticed that when my phone is in WiFi calling mode, incoming calls go straight to voice mail. I don't get an alert or anything. If they leave a voicemail, I get that. I searched other phones that have had this issue not just the S3. I am running stock OS but I am rooted.

Can anyone else verify that there incoming calls are working on Wifi Calling ? Any ideas on what I could try ? outgoing calls work fine.

EDIT: Sometimes calls go through, sometimes it doesn't. When it does go through, I can't swipe the green button to answer. It goes through the swipe motion but nothing happens. When I am off of WiFi calling, I can receive calls correctly and I can properly swipe to answer them
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
Ah-ha, you just solved a mystery for me! I like to have my phone automatically connect to any wifi in my usual hangouts to save data. I kept wondering why I was missing calls without hearing my ringtone. I have a theory on what is happening. Back on my old Vibrant, wifi-calling could not work on slower networks. I could get it to initialize but never could it actually make a call. I noticed this when up in the mountains at a lodge that had very slow internet. Maybe it's the same issue? Hopefully others will chime in.

I think most of these threads are locked because XDA is trying to separate them all. Anyways, this is the only way I could respond. Since my first post, I have had more positive experiences with wifi-calling. I think it may be a little of both, slow connection and this newer implementation. On a slow connection it definitely wont work correctly which is what I would expect. What I mean is you can't successfully answer or make a call as the phone app will just hang. Going straight to Voicemail is another mystery altogether. I have 4g internet at home so there is no reason I can think of for that to happen. But like I said since my first post I have successfully made and answered several calls from home using wifi-calling and even a few from a location that had decent internet. Call quality was decent for what it is.

Guys, take a look at this thread. It concerns wifi signal dropping and re-enabling. That would certainly explain why some of the calls made to me when I was at home on wifi went to Voicemail even though I have 4g. I did notice some of this last week.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sflagg73:
Not sure if this a slow network issue or and ICS issue. My S3 does this also and is frustrating since I auto connect to wifi at home and work. Keep missing damn calls. My S2 started doing the same thing when I updated from GB to ICS. Maybe its a Samsung and ICS thing now that I think about it because the wife and kids all run ICS on HTC Amaze without issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mikeycollins13:
Wifi Calling

Disappointing. Are you on T-mobile? (I expect yes as this, to my understanding, is the only US network licensed to use wifi calling?)

I am thinking of buying an S3 but I have to have wifi calling working on UK operator orange.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IceCreaMan:
This happens on sprint phones as well...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I see this thread is open again. My experiences with wifi-calling have bore out what I thought: A weak signal will cause problems. I only wish that every call went to voicemail. What happens often with me is that wifi-calling will partially work, as in I can answer a call but the person can't hear me at all and I may catch one or two words from them. If they terminate the call, the phone app is fine, but if I terminate the call, the phone app hangs and freezes everything! Today it was so bad I had to pull the battery and reboot. Maybe wifi calls going to voicemail is an imperfect function that Samsung or rather T-Mobile built into the app. It kinda makes sense as this app could never complete a wifi call if you were connected to slow internet when it was a separate app. In any case I would rather have my wifi calls go straight to voicemail (and get a pop-up notification) than have the app try to work but wind up hanging my phone. What do you guys think?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dcugooner:
I don't know about slow networks. I've already exchanged one T-Mobile S III because of Wi-Fi calling problems. My replacement works much better on my work network than it does on my home network and it is much, much slower than my home network is.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
This isn't particularly good news for me. If it isn't software problem that manifests when coupled with a slow network then a future update won't fix it. That's what I was hoping the problem would turn out to be. If its hardware, then the time I have to do something about it is limited as I dropped my first phone and the replacement has a limited warranty, I think. Plus, I've paid to have invisi-shield placed on the front and back and would have to eat that cost if I get another replacement.:(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IrieBro:
Epic Fail

I have this issue and am at my wits end to resolve it. Wifi calling is a major feature that worked fine(except echo) with my Vibrant. However, nothing I have tried will fix my ability to answer calls on WiFi. I have the SIM from the GS3 box. My E911 address exists since my bb8900. WiFi Power Save is off. All routers I use, Linksys E4200 and Linksys WNR1000, Linksys 614. Wireless N and G. T-mo CS could not help. I understand that the WiFi calling changed from UMA to IMS. No separate app. GS2 users with same issue. Anyone with a clue? Please help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] -greenboy-:
how did you turn off the wifi power save?

I experience the bad quality calls on wifi, at my workplace it is perfect, but at my home, its terrible.

my home network is faster than my workplace.

I think this is something to do with the firewall as well.

and I couldn't find the way to turn off firewall on the dam verizon fios actionnet router.

you can also try to broadcast the wifi on channel 3 only, that helped me in my case.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IrieBro:
WPSM

There is a link earlier in this thread to another XDA thread. Phone app --> *#0011# --> menu button --> WiFi--> Press WPSM On/Off button.

My GS3 would drop a WiFi signal 3 inches from the router at work and 3 feet from the router at home. At least THAT is fixed now. However, I don't seem to get the same WiFi signal range as my Vibrant did using the same routers Trying the channel 3. I do have a few setting set to auto at least on my home router.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] duhitsrandy:
when my wifi calling was giving me issues i had to go on the tmobile site and set my area for 911 calls for the wifi calling. after that it worked flawlessly

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tastymango:
I finally, though hesitantly, made the jump to ics with tytung's newest nexushd2 rom after being on gb since forever. And I have to say it surpassed my expectations; the phone runs smooth and perfect during most usage and it's simply a pleasure to use because of the look and feel of the new UI (Thank you tytung!) Literally it's like a brand new phone.

With this phone coming out in 2010, I think many of us will have their 2 year contracts ending soon. Where do we go from here? Maybe I'm just naive, but with such a great developer community pushing good hardware, I feel like there's little reason yet to consider getting a new phone. Would I be correct in saying that with the new roms, the HD2 is like a 95% approximation of the ICS (and in months JB ) experience of a newer phone? I'm thinking about just selling my upgrade phone and keeping the journey going with the HD2. The only real knock I have on my phone is that the digitizer/touchscreen isn't very sensitive, making texting sometimes a chore. Other than that, I love it. Do you guys agree, or do you know of people who have moved on from the HD2 and would never go back?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] petedavison93:
I'm in the same dilemma. Considering upgrading the the HTC One X when a stable version of ICS or JB is released without HTC Sence (Can't stand it). But apart from the obvious hardware upgrades, I'm not sure if it's actually worth forking out £300+ for something which I can have, at no extra cost, on my trusty HD2.

This is the message I get every time I try to sync my phones calendar with my Google account calendar. No appointments are showing up on my phone. Everything else such as e-mail and contacts sync just fine. I was on NoSympathy ROM.

Hard reset didn't work. I even flashed stock unrooted ROM via Odin. Now pretty much back to the phones original condition.

Still not syncing and getting the same message. So it's either the hardware (didnt think this could be a hardware problem) or a problem with my Google account (then why would email and contacts sync no problem?)

I'm stumped. Should I take the phone to the store?

I used my Galaxy S3 a few weeks ago

It is the Rogers i747m Galaxy S3 LTE

The major issues I am having are:

Weak Wi-Fi: the Wi-Fi is weaker than my iPad 3... It disconnects and connects... Even in my living room, next door from my router, my signal is either 1 bar or 0 bar for Wi-Fi, and sometimes it disconnects... My iPad in the same living room gets around 2/3 or 3/3 bars

Weak Cellular Reception: the weak cell signal is also an issue... It is not as weak as dropping my calls, but it is weak and slows down my data speeds...I am using in the wide open in Scarborough in Toronto, there are no high rise buildings.. On 2G, I get full bars... On 3G, I get a bar less than full. On 3.5G (HSPA+), I get 2 bars to half bars. And on 4G LTE, I get 2 bars or even worse no bars and it switches back to 3G or 3.5G HSPA+...

Never had these Wi-Fi and cellular signal issues with my Samsung Captivate and Samsung Wave S8500.....

Anyone can tell my if my phone is defective?

Or is this the phone hardware issue and it widespread with the North American LTE variant of the Galaxy S3?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sonspot:
Good Question, one of which I like to know myself. I'm in the west end (Brampton (for now lol) ), it seems like the signal strength varies even in the same city with only a 3 min drive apart and no tall building in sight lol. I'm talking 1248 kbps to 31743 kbps download.

and let you know if I lose WiFi connection. I do recall when I had the S2 i9100, I was losing WiFi connection quite a bit. I wonder if this is a random Samsung device issue? Or could it be an issue with the type of router you have?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nubbert:
If you have this issue, you'll notice right away as it'll connect and disconnect you every 5 seconds or so. I've only noticed it with one WAP and that's one at work, at home and elsewhere it works fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
I am getting weak Wi-Fi signals around 0-2 bars.. And it disconnects sometimes at random but not as often as 5 seconds though...

Also, the question with the Wi-Fi issue being mass spread might be the International Tegra 3 version

The North American GS3 used the Qualcomm 89xx with has integrated Wi-Fi.. Possibly the North American model use a different antenna design...

I checked the service menu's Wi-fi Information page on my S3 via dialing *#0011# -> MENU softkey -> WiFi

Before you exchange your phone, could it be your router? Did you test your phone out with a different router or in someone else's house? I have no issues with mine. Like I said in my previous post, I had issues with WiFi on my S2. So I'm thinking it's a random Samsung issue with certain routers.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
I have 3 different routers at home

1. Standard D-Link Dual-band N router which I bought last year

2. D-Link Xtreme N

3. Linksys Wireless N

| have tried on my Xtreme N and my Linksys on both 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz and the phone just has really low Wi-Fi signal either 0-2 bars of signal and it disconnects and reconnects at random...

The only way for me to get a good signal it basically using my phone 10cm from the router...

I tried the phone at a friend's house, in which case he has a Belkin Wireless N router. Also I tried it on University of Toronto St. George campus' WiFi... Both scenarios results in the same, low WiFi connection signal it seems to fluctuate randomly, Low down/uplink speeds and disconnection and reconnects at random...)

From the phone's service menu for WiFi, it show the phone is only connected to 802.11b (It will NEVER connect to g or n no matter what router I tried to connect to)

Non of these WiFi issues happen to my Samsung Captivate... When I use my Captivate, even when I am in the basement (my router is in the 2nd floor), my Captivate is getting around 50-75% WiFi signal strength on 802.11n

It seems like I did not have time today to exchange my phone due to some University essay due... Will probably exchange it on the weekend.

Will definitely report back on my exchanged model on XDA...

Coming from Rogers Galaxy S II LTE, the LTE connection is weaker on the GSIII. Even when comparing it to the iPad3 at the same location at the same time, iPad connects fine on LTE and the GSIII at times is on 4G.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
I did my exchange yesterday..

My WiFi disconnection seemed to have stopped. But the weak signal issue is still present..

I could not pick up public WiFi spots in my University... This is a ludicrous issue... Even in my house, I could barely pick up my own WiFi (if I am literally in the same room or a room next to the router).. My GS3 cannot even pickup any of my neighbors' WiFi. On my iPhone, Docomo Sharp SH-06D and my Samsung Captivate, I could pick up WiFi from neighbors across the street......

Well at least my new unit do not randomly disconnect and reconnect the WiFi now... But the weak signal link is still a MAJOR issue...

Hopefully Samsung will acknowledge the WiFi issue soon....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gunnyman:
I have the exact same wifi issues as you. I've called Samsung and their support tech concurred with me that my phone is defective. I verified it with AT&T also when I took the phone to an AT&T corporate store and sat down with a salesperson there with an SGS 3. Connecting to the in store wifi the salesperson had full bars. I had barely one, and it kept reconnecting. I have to wait another couple of weeks before I can do a warranty exchange with At&t because I didn't buy my phone from a corporate store, I got it off of craigs list, and AT&T warranty services won't step in and help until the phone has been on sale for 31 days. So I'm having to wait until then. Meanwhile My data plan started on the 16th of July and I got a warning that I've used 65% of my 4g data up already. I'm sure I'm going to go over and they issued me a 10 dollar credit to take care of that.

It's inconvenient yeah, but at least I'll be taken care of.
