Is this a defect? Something coming loose?

I don't really want to RMA it and such, but if this might get worse I'd consider it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myfishbear:

-tips-

do not oc over 1.1 ghz it will mess your d2pad up (fried one @1.2ghz and returned it lol)

try no-frills cpu and set it to min clock 204mhz max clock 1.008ghz interactive gov with noop scheduler for longer battery life

don't update Netflix

use screen filter in play store to make the screen darker so you can save more power
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] csick:
So I'm a little confused about what the Premium Suite is, but an article on cnet I just read makes it seem like the UK is getting it as a free update to the GS3 (I can't post a link because I'm "new")

Anyone have any idea if we are getting this on Verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
No one knows one way or the other. The best we can do is wait for some word from Samsung. A better question would be if the SGS3 will be officially getting 4.2 at all (even international) because we'd have a better chance of receiving that. That's my speculative theory anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sornopia:
I was wondering about this, too. However, being that it's Verizon, we'd probably be getting it three months after everyone else did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chamberc:
On average, Verizon trails 6 months on updates. The S3 JB update was one of the fastest ever...

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
Hi guys,

I own an i8190, baseband : I8190XXALJL and I encounter frequent network outage.

Although the signal strenght indicator shows 3-4 bars, I cannot be called, cannot call and data is not being fetched.

On battery usage app, the network is most of the time "green".

On any other phone around me (blackberries, iphones, SGS II and III), and on the same network the problem does not reproduce.

If I turn the phone to airplane mode, and then back on, I am able to call, send mails so on and so forth.

Does any of you have the same problem ?

If any of you updated to I8190XXALL2, is this problem still persisting ?

Should I send it to the service ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sholimar:
I'm currently running the ALL2 baseband, but previously had both the ALJL and the ALK6 ones and didn't encounter any such issue...

Before sending it back you could try with a different SIM card, maybe yours is acting up (it sometimes happens, especially with old SIMs).

Seeing how nobody complained of a similar issue though, I don't think that changing your baseband will have an impact, but if you'd like to give it a try you can download original firmwares (that contain the baseband) from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/. In order to install them, just follow the steps in the root thread.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
Will do so. I'm going to pit-stop my SIM card @ Vodafone :) and let you know about it.

It's strange that this happens only deep inside buildings (eg. offices, malls, etc..).

When this happens, usually the data activity indicator disappears OR the S3 mini is using 3G frequencies (not H, not G, but 3G)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
Just changed my sim card and the issue still persists...

It's driving me nuts. My feeling is that the S3 mini doesn't lock on a network cell when 2 are available with similar coverage.

Will upgrade to the latest build and let you know about it :banghead:
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
And now the handset runs XXALL2 from vodafone uk.

I'm curious if the phone will have that network issue furthermore.

Happy Holidays!!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ci6i:
I'm exactly in the same situation :( . Please let me know if your new firmware solves the problem.

Tks,
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
So far there's no difference. Where I live the network coverage is pretty bad, but it doesn't "disconnect in the background".

Only at the office I can test it out for sure or inside massive buildings.

ci6i, go ahead and update; install kies (for drivers only :D ), get odin3 1.87 and flash it with XALL2 from samfirmware.

Lately I see there is XALL3 available for some asian countries.

I still think that my BlackBerry 9810 is a tank. unfortunately vodafone romania doesn't sync emails two ways via BIS so... :crying: I had to get back to samsungs...
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ci6i:
Well, i understand to lose signal if network coverage is bad, but my phone gets "network stuck" in the middle of town. I noticed this few times: at job, the phone stands on the table near me, and i receive sms about missed calls (i have voice calls diverted to voice mail when unreachable). If i try to call or browse the net at this moment, it's impossible until i set airplane mode on then off. All this time, the phone shows full network signal and HSPA data connection.

I'll try to change the firmware after hollidays.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bOkz:
As mentioned above, try to change firmwares (to XXALL2), I've also noticed some network drops when I'm at home (however this is expected in my case), but when I installed this firmware, I noticed some signal gain (full on 2G and +1-2bars on 3G signal).
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
Hi again.

The same issue even on xall2 :(

Just happened again today in a crowded place.

It goes to "3G" from "H" and then it's gone off the network.

Will try with XALL3 although there is a small improvement concerning "sticking to the network carrier". It seems it'a hard job to get a call when in coverage area...

If still no success, I'll loose my patience with this Sammy...

See ya!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
You get SMS because they use a dedicated network bandwidth for this technology and apparently the S3 mini does not loose connection on this communixation channel.

It appears that S3 mini is dropping voice and data, but not sms and CB (cell broadcast).
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppero196:

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miguelfc:
Same problem over here

Hi bogdangr,

I have the same problem with my SIII mini. From time to time, after working normally, it loses the H or 3G symbol and shows about two or three signal bars, but if I try to make a call or receive one the operation fails miserably. The airplane mode trick doesn't work for me, and I have to reboot the phone to get it working again.

I've updated to the latest official firmware, but the problem is still there. Have you found a solution for this or anybody has more ideas of things to try?

Thanks you all,

MFC
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
I'm on VF RO, too.

Crappy phone, what can I say.

If it can't follow a network where there is sufficient coverage...
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
Hi Miguel,

The only workaround for this issue (at least for me) is to keep it in GSM mode (no "AUTO mode", no "WCDMA only").

So the crappy phone won't have to switch frequencies and I can get phone calls (I start considering a luck when the phone rings...)

I'm on 4.1.2 now baseband I8190DXALL3 (latest on samfirmware) and still the same.

You just don't want to know how's everything downloading limted to GPRS :D

BR,

Bogdan
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
Does anyone know what's that *# code that enables service / engineering mode ?

I want to select on which network frequencies is the phone allowed to work.

I want to disable 3G mode and leave GPRS, EDGE, and HS(D)PA only.

The reason is that when the issue appears, S3 mini switches from "H to 3G" and "G to 3G" and then it's gone;

Although there are moments when it can fetch data with network on 3G coverage without problems...
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ci6i:
The code is *#*#info#*#* but it doesn't work :(.

I don't think it's a good ideea to disable those settings. Maybe it's a temporarily problem and i know Vodafone is testing/launching 4G coverage.

For me, this network issue is happening once in a week. How often do you lose phone signal ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
I found out the service code but the RF setup is not "sufforted".

Vodafone has implemeted already 4G in selected areas but it's not about that. On blackberry, iphone and nokia this is not happening.

As a frequency... 3-5 times a day while I'm at the office.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miguelfc:
I'm using it with Orange Spain. I will try using the phone this weekend with another operator to find out if the problem is operator related.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
Aaand yes, its awful !!

On 4.1.2 it's even worse. It's most of the time out of the network.

People are telling me that my phone is out of the network coverage, but I'm in the office, where everybody is talking on mobile phones on the same network as mine.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miguelfc:
Solved: It was a SIM card issue

Hi bogdangr,

I don't know if you still have the Siii mini, but I managed to isolate the problem on mine. It was due to a problem in the SIM card, that from time to time missed the contact with the phone, and cause the issue. It was the same behaviour as if you moved the sim card with the phone on.

I've tested the phone with a new SIM for over two weeks and the issue is now gone.

MFC
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
Hi Miguel,

It's not the SIM card as I bought a brand new one, and the issue still happened ;)

Also, I've been using the old SIM card in my BlackBerry and other phones for a couple of years and no such issues.

Service guys told me that everything is ok (hardware related) but I shouldn't upgrade to newer builds of Android as they work faulty.

So, they have re-flashed the SIII mini, and ran extensive RF tests. The phone passed successfully, therefore I sold it.

Now I'm glad to be on BlackBerry as a primary phone, and my Samsung 7.7" (GT-P6800) as a tablet.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppero196:
Honestly, they ripped you off.

You just needed to request for newer version of SIM card.

Old ones had issues with compatibility with newer phones and battery durration (drained more battery than usual).
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdangr:
The SIM card is brand new. It's trimmed to support micro-sim form factor.

They've asked me what type of card I want ? mini (classic), mini&trimmed for micro or nano...

Hi,

Anyone who has this 3G network problem: if you can reproduce it reliably, please grab a full main+radio logcat (open two terminals to grab both logcats at the same time):

adb logcat -b radio V:* > radio.log
adb logcat -b main V:* > main.log

Do not post this information here because I'd rather not be responsible for a privacy leak, instead pm me.

Although if the problem is RF or baseband related we won't be able to do much, maybe the problem lies on the Android side of things and could be tweaked, perhaps with a libril prop.
