[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obartuckc:
Try flashing a different ROM. If it still gives the same issue, the internal speaker connection could be loose, or about to go. Try gently twisting on the top n bottom of your phone and see if that helps the speaker connection. If neither of these help, you will need to use only speakerphone speaker for calls--and unfortunately only use headphones for any media--or have the internal speaker replaced. If you want to try to replace it yourself, you can Google instructions on how to do so and the part is only like $18, but there's some disassembling of your phone required. Good luck.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TRusselo:
SIMPLE FIX....

preform factory reset in recovery before (or after) flashing stock.

Stock odin flash does not flash or wipe data partition. and some files that you have in there become incompatible with older firmware and stop stock from booting.

NOTE!!!!! factory reset from STOCK recovery WILL WIPE SD CARD TOO!!! CWM recovery factory reset WILL NOT wipe sd card... backup your pics and downloads!!!!

reviving this thread because I'm having a similar issue. It was all my own doing I know I know. I was flashing the rooted/cwm tar from the sgs3 toolkit and the phone would do this thing where it would show the first 2 boot screens then go black and keep the blue LED on which actually alternated from lightblue to dark blue. I then tried to flash stock which did nothing. Then I got it to boot past the boot screens and show me both the samsung and att animation. it now hangs on the SAMSUNG screen. when I try and wipe data in CWM (6.0.2.3) it says this

(re-written)

-- wiping data --

Formatting /data...

Error Mounting /data!

Skipping format

formatting /cache

formatting /sd-ext

formatting /sdcard/.android.secure..

error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!

data wipe complete.

I cannot get anything to wipe or mount and I cannot efs clear it in odin. I would love to be able to get back to stock since I believe this is recoverable. Thanks for reading my mess of problems and attempting to give some advice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
If you Odin back to stock, it should give you the stock Recovery, not CWM or TWRP. Try doing the Odin to stock again, then use the stock Recovery to reset to factory defaults.

If you used a JB stock with Odin, then try using an ICS stock with Odin. ICS is more reliable when it comes to fixing flash issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:

So my fellow Australians. I don't know if like myself you experience the following anoying behaviour when loading pages on 3G/HSPDA. (using non-stock carrier provided rom AND modem)

Note: using a T branded rom seems to make no difference for me.

1. Big data Pages load a bit on H+

2. Pauses at some point. Sometimes for more than 5 seconds.

3. Network drops to 3G briefly then kicks back to H. Then finally H+ and the page loads quickly all in one go.

4. Annoyingly on the most data heavy pages in pauses AGAIN! just before it finishes loading.

I learnt a bit about TCP buffers and Kernel parameters that control them and came with this init.d script which, for me has MASSIVELY! improved the loading times on the browser by smoothing out the memory buffer.

Tested on Samsung JB leaks but should work on all Samsung roms... or not work but certainly not break anything.

http://db.tt/rLV1hT28

Hope it helps guys!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] uf21:
So what exactly does this script change?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] poczynek:
Will it work on Telstra? And what exactly does it do?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rlorange:
No harm in trying on Telstra. Just delete the init.d script if it's not good.

The script tweaks some TCP settings in /proc which change the memory buffers for HSPDA and other properties I found a good online tutorial and trial and error did the rest... have a look at the script!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] glennd:
Hey mate nice work. I have noticed when I flashed Omega v24 JB Rom or any JB Rom I loose my APN,s and when the phone first starts up after a fresh Flash, a pop up apears on my screen for about half a second and from what I glimpsed it said it couldn't get something from my Telstra network (Guess it is the APN,s it cant get). Is this because my Telstra GS3 is GT-I9300T and the JB Roms are cut from GT-I9300 that are not released in Aus yet? When I put my APN's in manualy I get my 3G/GSM internet back but Accu Weather cant find my location and FC's tried another Clock weather widget that I use all the Sense 4.0 style and it can't find my location (Auto or Manually no difference). So I flashed back to Omega v13.1 ICS and all is fine.Do you think your mod might help? PS. I also flashed Android Revolution HD 9.0.0 and flashed his Super Wipe script for a clean install thought it might help but no difference still no APN's.

Wiping everything and then installing. Darkside super and cache wipes first, then the ROM. Factory reset before you install can't hurt either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekkski:
I just bought a phone the guy who made no mention of the fact that it was rooted when I bought it. What is worse is he mentioned that his GF worked for Verizon, which did not seem to mean much at the time. Knowing that here is what i'm dealing with.

I was in a rush when I checked out the phone as I had to meet another person to pick one up for my wife as well. It's the sch-i575 in white 16gb. After having a minute to look at the phone it turns out he had Paranoid Android flashed and the phone was rooted. CRAP! Not what I was looking for and he was not upfront about it. The incredibly strange thing was that with NO SIMCARD the phone was getting 3g signal! I spent all night trying to unroot \ undo what he did. I managed to use ODIN to get back to the stock rom although I think it's still a rooted one since I still have the super user app. I got a sim card from verizon but since it was rooted I did not bring the phone in and when I tried to activate later it would not activate. My wife's by the way is working flawless and when I put my sim in her phone it works fine as well. I had to put the sim in my wife's phone and it activated there. Here is the crazy thing, with or with out a simcard the phone makes calls and has 3g internet only but when I make a call it uses HIS NUMBER!! I'm not sure what the hell to do, what could have he done? Any ideas? Please all help is appreciated! I did not think this was even possible for the phone to function w/o a sim. I'm worried about taking it in to Verizon because of the funkiness. Ty again for any insight...

I thought the I575 was an old slide phone. So A. your in the wrong section of the forum since this is Verizon's S3 or B. you mentioned the wrong device number? I saw phones before working and running on networks without sim-cards but that was years ago. If it is an S3, you sure it's a Verizon device? Also since you see 3g....can you browse around in the browser or make a phone call?

Yes, it's a galaxy s3 16gb in white. It looks like currently I was using the tar66 using ODIN. I'm reverting back to the bone stock one now. As far as the models go isn't the SCH-I575 the Verizon version of the S3?

I'm waiting on the stock unrooted rom to take through ODIN and will report back. Thank you for taking the time to try and help.

Ohh, yes the internet works and when I make phone calls with or with out my sim in it makes calls successfully but the other guys number shows up. What the heck did this guy do to the phone!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekkski:
You are obviously absolutley correct. I'm frantically trying to figure this out. I have flashed the stock rom and don't have super user anymore. The problem persists with the guys number.

Could he have flashed a custom kernel and modem or does reverting back using the stock rom cover all that ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toy028:
The one i linked covers all that and completely erases all data on the phone. Did you insert your sim after the stock flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekkski:
I just double checked and I had the I535VRLAG1 version, yours is the I535VRALF2 in the link you posted trying this now. The crazy thing is that it even says that the sim is activated with MY number! but the calls are still comming from him. I even tried wiping the device and clearing the cache. I also tried to JUST flash the modem with VRLG1.modem.tar.md5 and nothing :\. Waiting on the file from your link to download and will try that.

Is it possible that this is being caused by something on Verizon's end? The phone ( with out the SIM ) is registered to him somehow? I know this is not normal but because his GF worked for Verizon could they have done something funky?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toy028:
Yeah its definitely possible its from something she did to the phone but most likely nothing from Verizon's end. Does the IMEI number under status match the IMEI number under the battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekkski:
Yes IMEI is the same in the OS as behind the battery.

The curious thing is that on the same screen in the OS where you find the IMEI there is also a field called Network and it says " Unknown"

It also has things like:

Eri v : 5

Mobile network type : EvDo-rev.a:8

The thing I keep coming back to is how is it possible for this phone to make calls\ have data with out a sim?

Starting to really think I got cheated :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Cheated? Sounds like you have free Verizon service.

Roll with it. If you really want a bill you can have mine...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toy028:
Very strange that's for sure. Try re-provisioning the device *2767*3855#
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekkski:
Just did and the same thing happened. I went to the Verizon store and the guy there had no idea and got me in touch with tech support from the store. They were dumbfounded and flat out said that what is happening is impossible. "It's impossible to make\receive phone calls with out a sim unless they are emergency" I harped on the fact that I am making phone calls as one of their other customers and that this is a big deal. In the end since I had the insurance and extended warranty they will ship me a new phone.

The USB port on the HP Touchpad is barely USB OTG host compliant to connect USB devices, like keyboard, mouse, flash memory, etc. It is not USB HML capable, meaning there is no circuitry available to route video out the DATA+ / DATA- wires of the USB port.

There is no USB Dongle, or cable, that can do what you want. HP Touchpad does not support USB to HDMI.
