Hating my S3 lately

So I've getting the no sound+drop signal problem these last weeks where you don't hear anything when making a call and then the phone loses all signal. Looked everywhere online no solution. I really need my phone these days and i am having to use skype to make a call which is total crap. Then today all of the sudden the phone stops recognizing the sdcard out of the blue, also can't seem to find any solution online. I don't want to send the thing to repair because I use it a ton. This is really inconvenient.
Just venting here , sigh.....

This isn't your blog, go back to facebook or wherever you came from.

I had this issue with my old LG Optimus T P509 T-Mobile.. it was unlocked so I was using it on AT&T.. I never figured out what the problem was but I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one. Haven't had this issue with my S3 yet. Running stock 4.1.2 JB with ADW Launcher.. what service provider are you currently using?

Have you tried a factory reset? or a different ROM?
Even before that, wiping cache's?
If you're looking for help, more detail needed. If your venting, I agree with Choristav. No offense intended.

Which problem you mean, the call issue or the micro sdcard issue? I am running stock 4.1.2 jb and i have orange. The worst is that these problems start on their own all of the sudden with no previous warning. It drives one insane because it's so hard to pinpoint what happened and how to fix it.

Sorry.. The calling issue. I would make a call and it wouldn't make a dial or ringing tone and there was no sound coming from the speaker. This isn't happening on my S3. It was was happening on my old LG phone.. it was running stock 2.3 gingerbread of course, but it was surely mind boggling.

I am sorry but I read the rules and didn't see anything that said that no venting was allowed here, this is a general forum and in most forums general means general chat, venting included, or anything else that doesn't fit in more specific boards. Now regarding your question I didn't do wiping nor factory reset but I did reinstall the Jelly bean ROM I am using, and also I tried reinstalling the modem making sure it was the right one. I didn't do more because I've read in the big "no sound during calls" thread that those methods haven't solved most users' issues so far so seems like a waste of time. Anyway spending my time fixing the phone is my idea of a good time. I've had it for one year btw.

I have that happen and then suddenly signal drops to nothing and I get a circle with a crossed line symbol for a few seconds until it comes back. It's weird as hell and there's no solution anywhere online. I fixed it for a while tapping the back of the phone but now that ain't working anymore. Very frustrating.

Could your case, assuming you have one, possibly be the culprit? I had the same exact issue but on a stock rom, which is odd, but possible I guess lol.

I actually have a stock JB rom, which was working great for a few months before this started. I had the original ICS restore data in the micro sdcard, the one that stopped working today Btw you mean the phone's case? Why would that cause any problems?

I have heard of signal problems due to cases but not too common.. just using process of elimination. Also, that's a pain you lost your SD Card.. maybe try banking up your stuff on your phone and doing a clean wipe? Factory reset?

Yeah usually only when a metal case is used does it ever really interfere I suppose.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Possible problems:
1) Wrong modem. Flash one that worked previously.
2) Mobile phone network problems (we tend to overlook this a lot). Contact your carrier and ask if your networks keep going down.
3) Signal interference (maybe some casing, maybe something in your house)
4) Damaged phone (maybe the signal receiver got damaged in a fall)

I've been having similar signal drop issues. Phone shows 2 bars but no data use, no sound when trying to ring out, can't receive a call. If I toggle 2g, signal will spring back to life and data will show. Changed bloody everything trying to resolve it. Orange UK.

I think you are the one who should go back, were you came from. Seriously right, it's people like you who joined xda yesterday, who have no clue whatsoever about the principles and tradition of xda, who tarnish the name of this great website. The op is talking about an s3, in a s3 forum, were would you want him to go, other than here. If you can't help, just shut it, and let the people who can help go ahead, like the people who posted after your senseless post to help the op.

1. Solar flares got you.
2. Reception problems, UK austerity hair cut, you get 10% of any signal you had before.

Stuck on Google screen

Ever since the 4.3 update, my nexus seems to restart randomly and just sit on Google splash screen. Can't say its repeatable, just random. Usually once a day. At first I thought it had to do with a specific ROM. But its done it on all 4.3 Roms I've tried. Then I thought it had something to do with charging too long. But it's done if off the charger too.
Anyone else experience this?

I have that problem too. Ended up restoring my 4.2.2 backup.
Is there maybe the need to update official firmware to update the bootloader or anything? Don't know where to go from here.
I was using twrp 2.5, going to upgrade to 2.6.2 and see if that makes a difference.

[Q] Bugs found on Note 3

Bugs have been found on the GALAXY NOTE 3 LTE SM-N9005 with firmware of N9005XXUBMI7, anyone have the following 3 issues?
1. Writing in message with S-Pen will not convert the text to words. (Stop working after 30 Sept)
2. Scrapbooker unable to capture the YouTube video link instead it capture an image. (Stop working after Youtube Update)
3. Reading Mode doesn't dim the screen to a warmer (slight orange) tone just like the GALAXY Note 8 after adding the application into the enabled list.
Reading mode: Select which applications will use reading mode. In reading mode, the device will dim the display which helps protect your eyes when reading at night.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA0D25W_5Wc (source from Youtube)
Update: Samsung said that a new software update will be released soon to rectify issue 1 and 2, no news on issue 3.

I thought you found insects in the screen or something.

How you know is confirm there is a new update?? is here any link or something?

I'd also like to know where Samsung has publicized a bug-fix update, if you could post a link.
Also, would an update of this kind still have to be validated by carriers in the US (possibly months of waiting), or would it be direct to the users?

Fixed!

If found two bugs on two devices. I replaced one to find the new one had the same issues!!!
1. Screen brightness changes regardless if the user has ALL the settings turned off. I think it has something to do with the heat of the screen?
2. When recording video in low light conditions and connected to WIFI occasional purple lines will appear horizontally on the screen every now and then
I have now taken my second Note 3 back and refunded all together. I will think about buying another when these are fixed. TBH i can live with the camera issue but the screen brightness problem i cannot ignore!

I have a bug with my Note 3 with the "WatchON" app.
It keeps crashing on load, just black screen then it says "Unfortunately Samsung WatchON has stopped working"
It worked the first time I loaded it when I first got my phone bot not anymore.
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Each phone has used it on 2 tv's and cable box's and a samsung dongle.

I tried and it didn't work.
Maybe I should take it back to the Samsung store and ask them for a fresh new phone instead of this defective crap since I have warranty.

I'm on my 2nd note 3 and the first one didn't have this issue. The replacement I got has been having this issue since day 1. The only solution I've found is to turn Watch On off in the application manager. I'm hoping this is just a software bug and not a problem with the phone itself. It's strange how I didn't have this problem with the first note 3 so I'm kinda scratching my head on this one.

Turning it off fixed it for me also. You would think all of this bloatware would be well tested before the phones release. I am wondering if the app updated and the new update caused the problem. I am planning on downloading a new IR Remote App anyway. On Verizon

That was to patch the link sent via messages and when you opened the video it would "harm the system" and if you used hangouts, it would automatically harm it due to hangout opening the video ahead of time for quicker viewing. It was an issue within the core of Android, not the OEM, itself and has been a 'vulnerability' for quite some time but was just exposed not too long ago.
Got the Patch and the 5.1.1 update, good deal.
Please report back the responsiveness and overall feel. I just might make the leap if they got Lolliflop right with this update.

The GPS location error is definitely sprint, had this problem for years where it would put me at Burbank, CA when I live in Las Vegas, NV. However when travelling to a different area of Vegas, that seemed to put me in Las Vegas. Now when at home it puts me at Dana Point, CA. Lol.
I did a test, had at least 20+ apps running, pressed the recent apps key, and it opened immediately. Usually with that heavy activity, I would be waiting anywhere from 15-30 seconds to pop up. One thing I am waiting to see is if it freezes on me. Had a few instances where apps were making the screen not respond. Seems much faster with the update though.

So you can flash TWRP via Odin right? I would not care too much about not being to flash back to OF5 since I have a phone that lags severely after a few days of running stock OF5. I would just want the ability to flash CM12.1.

SD card Wiped
Did the 5.1.1 and my SD card was mostly wiped. Pics and music gone. Funny thing is, some things are still there such as carbon backup files. I'm not exactly thrilled.

5.1.1 kills cf-auto root... It did the same with the note edge.. Kernel exploit is the only way to root..

Loving the new updage so far. Not laggy at all. Now for the battery test.

I odined stock unrooted OF5 and it's getting the OTA update now. So that works.

Phone feels much snappier. Recent apps menu opens instantly. Camera seems to open a bit faster.
Are we not going to get RAW support like the newer phones are getting? Thats some BS if not.

Mine works fine without the wipe.

I was just sharing my experience as I just got the phone the day before. I had the phone all set up it was working fine on Android 6.0.1. I upgraded to the beta for nougat Android 7.0 and immediately my phone kept rebooting every 30 seconds or little bit longer. Once I realized the data I have not had any issues at all.

I downloaded the app this afternoon, did the registration, went into my setting and checked for an update and it downloaded nougat. The one thing I have found is that Bluetooth sucks! Seriously my music breaks up with it just in my pocket and I'm wearing Bluetooth headphones. Then I took it out of my pocket and put it on the counter and I can't get 5 feet away from the phone and the music breaks up again. Prior to the update I could go to the gym, put my phone down and be a good 40 feet away and it would still work fine.

Thanks to this thread I installed the beta Nougat OS.
Nothing bad so far. I did NOT wipe or remove data.
So far, I really like it. The SoTP meter says it's faster. Only thing that doesn't work so far is my Agenda Widget. Love the improved AOD. Battery seems to last a little longer, but not enough experience to say definitively. I did notice that the phone was warm when at 100% this morning. Haven't seen that since the update that stopped us charging to 100% (even though the display said it was).
The options in Settings are better- much better control of notifications.
I'll post more as I discover it.

Lol if only! Thats when Sammy will release it to the carriers. And then they will do their thing and probably take their time draging feet.

Sprint users were part of the beta too, so it shouldn't be like rollouts in the past. Although I don't understand why we've been testing 7.0 and the final is supposed to be 7.1.1, unless Sprint stays on 7.0.

If sammy sends them 7.1.1 them that's what we will get. 7.1.1 isn't that much different from 7.0 just a few features added like app menu short cuts which wouldnt take much for them to add in the final release .I really dnt get how beta is over with all bugs not fixed. I personality still have an issue with Youtube videos not working after some time. Notification tones stop working after some time. No factory reset or caches clear has fixed this in the whole beta process.
