I used recovery mode to install this androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-epic-4g-touch-android-2-3-6-el29-firmware-93958/

I'm not sure if that was right but it works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Good to hear that but don't forget to head over to the link i posted in my previous post.

Read as many sticky threads as possible and if there is anything you don't understand, then ask questions.

That's the best way to stay safe while flashing.

I have already asked in the specific Q&A section for my phone but I thought i'd branch out to the community as this seems to be a general phone query.

THE PROBLEM

I have a problem with my phone where I can't receive or send text messages or phone calls however i still have signal and can use mobile data. The problem occured from a rom flash coming from Kalgecin's Unofficial CM10 builds to Chameleon 1.2.

ATTEMPTS AT SOLVING

I have contacted my provider's, T-Mobile UK, they have told me that everything is fine with my settings and have suggested I take the phone to a T-Mobile store.

I have used my sim in another phone and everything works.

I have used a friends sim in my phone and the same problem occurs

I have made sure the SMSC is that of my providers T-Mobile UK.

I have tried flashed a generic stock ICS 4.0.3 rom.

I have taken the phone back to T-Mobile 4.0.3 stock.

I have tried the following but the problem still persists.

Phone Version

PDA I9100BVLPD

PHONE I9100BVLPB

CSC I9100TMULPD

Hopefully someone can help. Cheers

[Galaxy S III General] dehaani:
They can't even provide a decent speed on their crippled 3g service. I can't imagine 4g being much better.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
New GT-I9305 Galaxy S3 LTE with Quad and 2gb ram is out in a couple weeks in australia and should be out not long after in europe. I have pre-ordered mine. I guess you can pre-order yours?. I saw a screenshot of one of the korean phones showing the available ram, it was showing 1.2Gb free ram.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
Not everybodys got bags of money to buy a new galaxy s3 lte Samsung shafted us all with 1 gig
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
None of you were shafted... you all purchased a phone that had no LTE compatibility..... even if EE didn't run as a separate network but gave Orange the 4G bands your phone would still not be LTE capable.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Wrong. I've had great speeds on 3g with them for a couple years now, best in my area tbh.
[Galaxy S III General] speedyjay:
Why would you want "super dooper mega fast internet" on a mobile phone? HSPA+ is fast enough for me....tethering creates no lag while I'm playing cod on Xbox lol
[Galaxy S III General] Blush91:
its out in the UK right now i was just on the phone to T-mobile trying to get my hands on one but unfortunately I've already got the maximum of lines i can have
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
EE have said on Twitter that T-Mobile customers (and I'm assuming Orange customers included) will definitely be able to upgrade mid-contract without cancellation fee.
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
yes but you will have to pay an 'early upgrade' fee that Orange has recently re-introduced, which is effectively your remaining monthly payments less VAT
[Galaxy S III General] stringer987:
It will only be availible in 4 cities to start with then 16 in total after that. Will take a year or two to hit rural places and so on. It is just marketing to say they have it first when in fact only few people will be able to get the benefit of it. In two years it will be in full flow and then we will have many phones that can use 4G and the networks will of optimised it.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
That's not what they said on Twitter, someone asked if they could upgrade without a fee, and they said "definitely". The cancellation fee is practically the same as the early upgrade fee.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
What do you mean the maximum lines? I dont see how it can be out yet, Because that phone is going to be shipped with Jelly Bean and Jelly bean is not out yet ;)... Its being advertised here but Only for pre-order will be out in a couple weeks
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Nope its not available here yet, Australia first then Europe. Probably looking at end of September beginning October.
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
From past experience (have used Orange for over 10 years now and know their company workings very well) if they allow people to switch from EE without a fee there is bound to be some other catch (e.g. limiting you to a very high and long contact with EE), but I would still be amazed if they didn't demand an early upgrade fee.

Personally I won't even consider switching to EE until they announce prices and tariff conditions, I am especially concerned about what data limitations they will impose, there is absolutely no point joining a 4G network if they still limit us to 1GB or less!! a month data.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Thats what I thought, It will be available around the 20th September in Sydney Australia......Europe/UK should follow soon after, and as I was looking at some articles that were talking about EE and ALL GT-I9305 will be shipped with jelly bean . Here is a clippet of one of the articles>>>>> " One of those phones is the Samsung Galaxy S3 and according to EE's spec sheet, the 4G iteration of the handset will come packing Android 4.1 Jelly Bean"
[Galaxy S III General] Blush91:
I spoke to a T-mobile rep and they said I'm able to go into the store today and get one of the new LTE enabled galaxy s3 which is my reasoning as to thinking it was out already but i am gonna go into the shop just to confirm and get specs and dates
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Well my current plan with T-Mobile allows truly unlimited data with fantastic 3G speeds. So I'd be happy to stay on 3G. However, if I could upgrade to LTE for free and the plans were fair enough with no harsh data limits, then I would upgrade.

All T-Mobile and Orange customers will begin to see the network names disappear from their phones and replaced with "EE" in the next few weeks (personally I think they could have come up with a better brand than EE)

My home fibre broadband contract ends with Plusnet next month too, so if the plans and prices are good then I may think about moving to EE fibre. However, plusnet have recently upgraded me to the up to 80mb broadband with 250GB monthly usage for just £20 a month, so if EE can't beat that I will be staying with Plusnet. I wonder if EE will be providing home phone :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Confused +1 ^^^

Best to go in the store and find out because that sounds like BS to me. You should ring her now and say oh and the specs state it comes with jelly bean right? If she says yes. Then just laugh.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
I tweeted EE about early upgrade, and here is their reply...

Also, there is a rumor going around that there is an update available very soon to make the SGS3 4G compatible. Somehow I don't see this being true.
[Galaxy S III General] Blush91:
i doubt this very much because the chipset is different the only way that will be possible is if the 4g signal was locked on our chipsets and they needed to be unlocked but i doubt this very much as its all about making money for these companies
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Well that's exactly what I'm thinking, but I heard that someone in Germany received an update which enabled 4G. Highly unlikely if you ask me.
[Galaxy S III General] Blush91:
well as i doubt it very much i wouldnt put it past samsung to be extremely cheeky like that and use the same chipset with just different waves

but i suppose once its out and someone compares we might be in luck
[Galaxy S III General] projectsome:
I thought the S3 was already 4G/LTE compatible, and assumed it wasn't activated or in use due to the lack of 4G/LTE signal not being broadcast.

Either way, I'm due an upgrade on 2 of my lines.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
I hope that's true.

I'm not due an upgrade on my 2nd line until December, and I can't really afford a 3rd line, hence why I'm cancelling my 2nd in December.
[Galaxy S III General] cyrexking:
I have two lines with vodafone and there data capped to 750 is very annoying specially when im paying 41 pounds one and 35 on the other on.

One of my lines is going to end in Feb while the other one ends in may.

I think ill have to wait to see if 3g would get 4g cause in my opinion for smart phone unlimited data is a must have
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
I reckon they should work on actually delivering some signal, any signal, 2g, 3g, even 1g, for rural parts of the country!

Or at the very least enable UMA for the S3. It worked great on the S2, and not delivering it for the S3 pisses me right off! I have to stand in my kitchen, near the window to get a signal!
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
T-Mobile do unlimited data plans (truly unlimited), I currently have one and I use it to the max. Hopefully this will mean EE will also have unlimited plans on 4G.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
That's a shame...
[Galaxy S III General] irzero:
I live on 12mb at home and a 50ms ping. Never a problem over wire.

When 4G can give me 50ms ping consistent then I might be interested for £15 a month. But I doubt that will ever happen.

I fail to see the point of 4G or the American obsession with paying 45$ per month for mobile data for just a couple of GB.

I'd rather have included unlimited 3g data for almost free from H3G and a reliable fibre network.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
EE should be releasing mobile WiFi devices if you really want LTE on our S3 just carry it with you, but that would involve more payments.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
orange/t mobile might update you to ee but i don't think there going to give any body exchange the galaxy s3 to a galaxy s3 lte you need for ee

You're right, they won't.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
so whats the point of us like me who is on orange/t mobile that will be upgraded to ee and cant use it... its just bs
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
That's exactly what I was thinking. EE said they will be making it very easy for existing customers to use the new 4GEE, but if they're not going to give us a 4G enabled phone, what's the point?
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
i feel shafted stuck with a 1 gig slow galaxy s3 that cant do lte
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Rumor has it that the S3 is getting an update that will enable 4G. Somehow I don't see this being the case.

EDIT:

T-Mobile tweeted me saying existing customers can upgrade if they are outside their contract or they are upgrading to a higher price plan. My price plan is £36 a month, I don't think I'd be willing to go any higher.
[Galaxy S III General] Mithrandir007:
Even if there's a new version with 2Gb RAM and LTE, that doesn't mean the current S3 is slow all of a sudden.

Why would you feel shafted?

Would you have felt better if they had called it with another name than Galaxy S3?

When you buy a car and they release a newer model a few months later, do you feel like they should replace yours with the newer one as well?

You knew what you bought when you got the S3, there was no major hidden problem with the current S3, everything works as it should, and we all know there will be newer phones as months go by.. can't really expect the S3 to be the best phone for years :)
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
I agree, although I think some people feel shafted at the fact Samsung never mentioned that there'd be an LTE version released a few months later, if like me se people knew this they could have waited to get that version instead. But it is what it is, and I agree with you about the S3 not suddenly becoming slow just because a 2GB version is becoming available, I'm happy with my S3, I just wish it had 4G.
[Galaxy S III General] Mithrandir007:
Yes, that I can understand, though it's pretty usual as it happens with many flagship phones (and tablets.. same thing happened with my Asus Transformer Prime, there is now the Asus Transformer Infinity with a full hd screen and fixed gps).

The thing I hope doesn't happen though is that if the ROM base is not the same, there will be less developers for the current S3 since many will probably switch to the new one.

For me, that was the worst problem for the Asus Transformer Prime, there's almost no activity in the development section anymore.
[Galaxy S III General] winwiz:
Dude be patient

they may offer a deal to existing customers!

Don't write them off just yet
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
T-Mobile told me that existing customers can upgrade if they get a higher price plan, but unless the price plans are only a couple of quid dearer I don't think I'll be doing so, but I guess they can't get any fairer than that.

I get 25ms ping on 3G so that's perfect for me. I agree with you, I would much h prefer unlimited 3G than capped 4G, I can even tether online gaming on my PS3 with no lag whatsoever, who needs 4G :D

There's still apart of me that wants 4G but just for the sake of it :D
[Galaxy S III General] go2mo2:
I must admit I do fancy going for LTE as my home broadband is and will probably only ever be 1Mb. I'm currently with T-Mobile on their full Monty plan which is great because of unlimited downloads, only problem is that I'm one of the people who has a speed cap to 3.8Mb that T-Mobile still refuse to admit exists!!
[Galaxy S III General] Blush91:
The upgrade t-mobile are talking about the rep said you have to pay the remaining of the contact your on and take a higher price than your current price plan but I think if you go to ee direct you will get cheaper deals because they basically new and normal users won't know about the technical in and out so they will most likely do deals to draw people in

Just my thoughts
[Galaxy S III General] bigr1979:
I personally don't see why people are annoyed. When I bought my S3 I knew that the chipset wasn't 4g compatible, this is why they had to make the US 4g versions with the dual core processor at the time. I also knew that 4g was imminent, obviously technology moves on I knew that new phones would come out that would support 4g but I chose to make the decision to by my quad core S3 that doesn't support 4g.
[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
I'm pleased I have a year left on my contract with O2. Hopefully by then the 4G network will have matured a little. It's not available in my area yet anyway.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
I renewed mine last month that's why I'm annoyed
[Galaxy S III General] skibadee:
Actually the 2gb ram leaves me feeling pretty shafted. The lte bit doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
[Galaxy S III General] Blush91:
I took a new one out 9 days ago for the s3 thinking I'll be able to take out the lte edition when it comes out but now I'm being shafted out of the new line And I can't remember the rep's name that told me I could take out a third line
[Galaxy S III General] danieljamie:
Also got contract a month ago :( can't exactly pay off 2 years line rental....
[Galaxy S III General] Putzy:
Put bluntly - is your service suddenly going to stop being as good as it is now just because something new is out? Do you need what the new service offers? The answers to both of them is No. It's not like 4G/LTE is such an amazing leap as they're making it sound, especially when the majority of the country still isn't covered for 3G coverage.

Either way - until T-Mo/Orange actually say what is going to happen for existing customers, I don't see what the point in speculating is. They might offer you a free upgrade to the 4G plan, and you pay £49/£99 to exchange handset for the 4G version (if applicable/within a certain timeframe). It's certainly plausible.

It could be worse. You could be tied to Vodafone for another 14 months (I bought my S3 SIM free) with no 3G coverage at home (even though their own signal checker says "you can expect to have a reliable connection for email and the internet using a 3G phone, laptop or tablet. You can also expect good browsing and download speeds.") which I'm paying £30 a month for with no hope of getting it sorted because they "cannot guarantee coverage indoors".
[Galaxy S III General] Khy50:
I'm not fussed with LTE just yet, I find H+ to be plenty fast for my usage. 4G will kill battery life!
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
It's gonna cost a smegging fortune for early 4G adopters so I'm waiting until Three Mobile gets it.
[Galaxy S III General] Grantzxr:
just spoke to orange the rep was like wow yes you will need to pay upgrade fee but the new s3 is not even out yet call me in a few weeks please...
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
You don't have to pay the remaining months of your contract as well as getting a higher price plan, that would be stupid. It's one or the other, it's up to the customer to choose.
[Galaxy S III General] jameslfc5:
Capped speeds tho of 1mb though isn't it?

And no tethering?
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Incorrect and correct (sort of).

Some people seem to be capped to 3.8mb, I however get speeds around 5mb and sometimes even as far as 15mb. The ping is great too, if I use all my download usage on my home broadband I tether to my PS3 and play online games with no lag whatsoever.

T-Mobile no longer allows tethering, however I got my SGS3 when they did allow it and therefore I get Unlimited data including tethering :)
[Galaxy S III General] Blush91:
That's what I thought but you know most of these reps don't know about the technical stuff of their job
[Galaxy S III General] port76:
Shafted again first with the 2 gb version now with lte 4g and 2 gb whilst most of us are left with the 1gb version why can't they just release 1 galaxy s3 version and that's it ,, why all the different versions come on Samsung:confused:
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
It's called business.

My source is the T-Mobile guys on Twitter. But we won't know for sure until EE release the information to all Orange and T-Mobile customers.
[Galaxy S III General] Jack Barrett:
Shafted because of the 2gigs. Now others will get it with 2GB and newer build (probably no defects after all those months) for the same price.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:

[Galaxy S III General] wardy01:
Few words. Get a grip. You have not been shafted. You have brought a awesome phone with a quad core processor to handle multitasking. An external card slot 16gb internal. 1gb neither here or there. You all know technology well hence why you are on a site like this. Your all adults and you picked your phones and did the research . So no its not samsungs fault. Jeez. Y should they swap it for you ? Sell it on eBay and buy the 4g version if you are that bothered. Speeds are fine. End of the day its a phone . Some expect it to make a cup of tea. Lol.

4g will be gash when its live for a good year ....

What do you need 2gb for ? ......

I'm sure all major phones on market have 1gb and are coping fine.

Regards .
[Galaxy S III General] Jack Barrett:
Because the memory is always almost full leaving 50-100 mb for other tasks and it starts to slowdown. And yes we are shafted since its galaxy s3 again with lte, 2gb and newer build for the same price. Its not fair for some users to pay the same for less.

[Galaxy S III General] LBTaylor1984:
No the kick in the teeth is that people bought the S3, only for EE suddenly rise out of the shadow of Orange and T-Mobile to say hey look 4G and here's your phone with LTE, but your stuck on a 24 month contract, and even if you do switch you to EE, you won't get any sort of deal upgrading to the S3LTE.

If EE had been smart they would offer transfers of existing customers and at a discounted cost let you trade your S3 against a S3LTE, abit like O2UK did when the iPhone 4 came out.

EE is Orange and T-Mobile since the beginning of the month Orange and T-Mobile are labelled EE and as such my phones says so.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
It is the same phone but it's got lte and 2 gig but we're left with 1 and to all them that says android you don't need 2 gig why has the new nexus phone got 2 gig
