I've tried all the routes. The only thing that I couldn't simply was was using KIES emergency... it requested a recovery code which i don't have, and since KIES does not allow me to make any upgrade or whatsoever (dunno why) I don't get any kind of code. suposedelly I could get one in Firmware upgrade and initialization but when I inser model and S/N number it returns me 'SGH-T999' does not support initialising.

I've tried all stock and using going through samsung upgrades, and still the same.

My real problem is not the speed itself, is that I simply don't get signal on WCDMA or LTE. Only EDGE works and is slow has hell.

It seems a lot to me that this may be due to IMEI loss... and with software only, even though I got it injected again and working, I see some guys in other forums having the same problem and that they only could resolve with JTAG/BOX like NSPro...

I would try a JTAG/BOX the problem around here is the availability of them for lending and not very keen on buying one since they are expensive for this point only..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You do realize that SGH-T999 does not even have LTE Antenna at all. So there is not at all chance of you ever getting signals beyond Edge or H+ right ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] insaned:
I'm aware of. I just tend to say LTE when I mean H+.

sorry for the confusion
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Yeah... Supposedly, H+ = 4G, but who knows but the carrier? :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Does your carrier Vodafone, even supports both Edge and H+ ? Given both are 3G, seems unlikely.

I am sorry H+ is NOT 4G. Carriers have backward compatible antenna so a 4G Antenna offers H+ speeds. But they are NOT same.

H+ = Ideally 168 Mbit/s Reality 21 Mbit/s if that.

4G = Ideally 299.6 Mb/s Reality anywhere from 50 Mbit/s depending on weather its 3g LTE or 4G LTE. (Isn't that a laugh! )
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] insaned:
In the particular zone I am now, I have available UMTS 900Hz. SO should at least be 3G with a decent speed.

I'm not discussing that I wanted the best speed at all. I just wanted to use it fair decent... I was used to use my bandwith without any waiting and huge lag times. I'm talking about 0.14 Mbps down and up now. I can barelly use google navigation since it's too slow to cache the souroundings...

It takes sometimes more than 90 seconds to give back a simple googlenow search... which before was instant.

I have now had to get TOMTOM for android, otherwise I could be waiting forever to get some navigation.. which i use this a lot.

I didn't have near this speeds before.. so something happened.

Or it was the IMEI problem or something I did wrong...

NOW the only good thing now is the battery :D but would trade it off for speed without a second thought.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Hilarious! Yes, I realize they are not the same (hence the 'supposedly"). That's why I have a fiber run attached to a helium balloon, so I can get data to/from the cloud faster. :cool:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
It could very well be the IMEI Issue. If your IMEI isn't registering properly on the network, the carrier tower may treat you like a roaming customer of another carrier and assign lower speeds. Calling them should sort out that.

If its not that, then what I suspect is that your modem may have been locked to American Bands. Given that T-Mo operates on 850 and 1900 bands, (1700 & 2100 if you factor in recent acquisition). The modem firmware may have locked out your 900. (The suddenly good battery confirms it.) What you need to do is unlock that band. I did give a link few posts back for the How-To. It can only be done on the Stock Dialer not AOSP.

Sometimes Old school is the way to go!! :laugh:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] insaned:
I've tried that when I was in stock yesterday afternoon. Actually was the all night and afternoon around this.. lucky I HAD free.

I've run the "hidden menu" on stock dialer and make automatic for all frequencies in all bands, and remained the same.

But thanks, could be the problem though...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Liquid602:
Hey guys, I just recently flashed this rom, and so far my only issue is that I cannot connect to wifi. It keeps saying 'authentication problem'. I already tried switching my kernel from the lean one that came with the rom, to ktoonz kernel. I figured that'd fix the problem, but it did not. Bas anyone experienced this at all? I'm about to head out, so I'll try different wifi networks, but It hasn't been able to connect to my home network, so Idk if any other networks will work.

Thanks for any info,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Clear Dalvik & Cache. On your Router Turn off your Wireless authentication completely making it open network. Test and report please.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
No offense intended, but did you check your wifi authentication protocol settings after flashing? It should actually pickup the settings from your AP, but if your AP uses a protocol not supported by the kernel (wifi radio)... :fingers-crossed:

i noticed that in phone settings there is fast.t-mobile vs epc.tmobile:confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Not that it even matters, T-Mo adds the 2 APNs to all the phones. Given that you don't have LTE antenna, its moot anyway.

First time using this ROM and it look good. I just installed v2.5 and am getting the authentication problem when connecting to my home wifi. I have rebooted my phone/router wiped Dalvik & Cache and still cant connect. When I remove my router security the phone connects just fine. I am using WPA2/WPA mixed mode but that's always worked for me. Thank you for any advise.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dacquesta1:
I don't know if its just me but any flashlight app I use causes the ROM to lag like an AMD K6.

Edit: any flashlight app other than torch.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IDisposable:
I'm having good luck with Sygic (which uses TomTom maps offline). You might want to play with it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Each Router implements Wi-Fi Security differently. Even if it says WPA2/WPA, it could employ TKIP or PSK or both. So, try switching to WEP and see the results. If that works then try to switch to WPA alone not WPA2/WPA option if that's possible. Lastly, all modern routers have "Protected Setup (or Push button ) button Authentication". On Android its called W-Fi Protected Setup Button located in lower left corner of Wi-Fi settings. Try that route. Remember you may need to hold the phone physically closeby to the router.

I tried Flashlight App couple of times with good success. Didn't notice any lag.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dreadit:
Thank you, I'll try changing the settings when I get home (hopefully won’t mess anything else up :)

As an FYI before I setup LiquidSmooth v2.5 I had just upgraded my last ROM PA3.56 (but the camera broke) and the wifi didn't work on that one either it would get stuck on "Authentication". The only thing I can think these two apps have in common is CM wonder if it can be a CM issue because I know someone else a few pages back reported the same issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Appreciate if you could click that :good: Thanks button if I helped.

As to suspecting a CM issue, you can go back to latest Root66 stock and check to see if touchwiz too has wireless issue or not. If it has issue then its possible hardware issue and you may need replacement. If Stock has no issue then try pure AOSP Rom and go from there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jyeom10:
Still not able to get the network setting to work. It's weird how it always switches back and forth from H+ to 3g every 2-3 seconds. During H+, internet is wonderful, but as soon as it changes to 3g, the internet unmistakably slow. It doesn't seem like flashing a new modem is working for anybody.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
That's how it is supposed to work, it has been stated over and over. 3g is inactive data transfer, when data is being pulled and transferred it goes to the H or H+

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GameOver69:
I don't see the option anywhere.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thacounty:
Are you running CM10.1? If yes, turn on phone and do not unlock, slide to the left and press the + button.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GameOver69:
Yes I have tried that as well but it only allows me yo add the 4x4 widget. So it includes clock... Weather and everything . would just like the clock on my main lock screen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thacounty:
If you make it your main lock screen, as seen in the pics in the op, you can close the weather. This will leave you with just the lock. You just slide the weather up. If it is the main lock it won't come down and show weather unless you slide it down. Thanks button is beside the quote button.

Download the rom and gapps.

Back your apps, go to cwm, full wipe, flash rom, flash g apps, reboot, and your done.

Just some advice, back all your photos, music, etc that's in your internal sd card. You'll likely get the /0 folder.

This is an AOSP rom. Meaning you won't have Samsung features or wifi calling.
