My phone is constantly searching for a network even when it displays that it has a signal, what the heck is wrong with it anyone know?

Something wrong with your skin? Does the cell network, work?
I figured it out my sim card was dead, really strange the customer service person never heard of anything like that luckly I had a new one around they swapped it over and it works perfect again

So I had my phone replaced because I was having cell/data issues and slow 3g downloads,so I got my replacement and it is doing the exact same thing. An app from the market will take up to 10 minutes to download,i just dont unserstand what is going on here. Any ideas? And this is on stock ed05. Getting about 10kbps downloads! It is ridiculous.
I am starting to think it is something with my google accmt or my sd card, would either of these effect this?

If you ever have problems with data, you can log onto Verizon wireless and swap esn numbers. Use one from an old smartphone or try changing one number at a time until you find one that works, then swap it back to the right number.

Seriously, I'm nearly at the end of my tether with this phone. It always shows no signal on the status bar, however the network name shows up. Everytime I try to make a call, it always says 'moblie network not available'. SO far I've tried..
Using a different simcard - No difference
Changing the baseband - tried 6 different ones, no avail
Writing new firmware with odin - three differnt ones, no show
Firmwares with CWM - nothing happens at all
I really have no idea what to do anymore. I'm almost close to running over this pile of excrement with my car.
I went through this with CM7 for a while, it would work for a week or two then then for no reason lose the signal. I ended up going back to stock ROM's. Did you lose your imei?

Sounds like it needs to be repaired. This sounds like a hardware issue - modem or antenna must have gone.

I thought it just me....
I have the same problem. some times, ace show no signal, I can not sent sms or make a phone call, but I can access internet data. wierd...
I thought it just my provider anomaly...
I don't think it matters now. It's just decided to die on me and it won't turn back on. I'll have to open a dispute with the seller on ebay and get a refund. I was looking forward to using this phone for personal use as well as business, and it's just been an entire waste of time.
Sorry to hear...

OK a friend of mine on a Epic (old one) told me that he got a sprint communications update, or something along the lines of that. Now, he says he can talk on the phone and browse the Internet at the same time. Anybody else got this update?
He said that the guy from radio Shack said it isn't just his device, but other phones on sprint too.
Also, strange thing. He also says that he is picking up 4G signal where we live which is North Cape coral in Florida, and we never had 4G here. Maybe sprint is still rolling out wimax in a few cities.

As far as I know the only way to talk and surf is to be connected with 4g or WiFi during the call.

I use it all the time on my phone for business ...put them in speaker and look something up while I'm parked somewhere far from my computer. I've also edited documents while talking. I don't use it every day, but it's become a must-have for me.

I consider my phone to be a miniature computer first, a phone second. I'd love to be able to surf the web or read a feed while taking a call.

How about Googling a potential employee/customer/client while speaking to them simultaneously? Very useful!

Can anybody tell me why sometimes when trying to connect to the web or Facebook or anything that uses the internet, why sometimes the 4g symbol just stays there with no transmission lines being sent and receiving? I know when trying to connect the orange lines go in and out of 4g. I will be in the same spot with my fiance. She has an IPhone 4s with Att. I hit the Facebook and or the web at the same time on her phone. Hers connects right away. Mine will just sit there and load and load. Nothing being transmitted. Then after about 30 secs it connects. I don't understand. At times it will work and other times. It seems to be getting worse. I called at&t and they are going to send me a replacement phone not through insurance. But from samsung. Does anybody else experiencing problems like this before. I will have to sit there and wait for my phone to connect while my fiance is already surfing. This will happen in different spots. But whenever mind is not connect my fiance's iphone 4 s connect with no problem. this is my second Note doing the same thing. Is this how its supposed to work?
By the way I have already done hard reset clear cache and everything possible

I usually don't ask questions. I solve them myself. Now I have a problem I don't know what to do. I can send SMS, use Mobile Data, make and receive calls, but I cannot receive messages. They don't show up. I am on the AT&T network. Everything worked until one night, it just stopped working. Couldn't get texts. Being a teenager, that is problematic for me XD. I have been to two AT&T stores (local and corporate). They wouldn't help me since it wasn't a branded AT&T phone. Wow. They take the money no questions asked. The part that confuses me is. I didn't do anything to my phone the night it stopped working. Anyone have any thoughts.
-Done so far= Flashed to stock, factory reset multiple times, checked message center #

So after a week same problem. Everything just stopped. This really pisses me off since I can't use my S3. I am back on my Captivate for the time being and it sucks now that I have experienced the S3. Anyone have any ideas what it is?
Sudden death syndrome is a good guess......

The only things I can think of is, have you got another messaging app messing things up, or in the messaging settings there's a spam settings, have you checked that?
Sorry if you have already checked these
Checked it and its off. I don't have or use anything but the stock SMS app.

I think as default the spam settings is on, at least mines on. Might be worth a try.
Also did you restore your old messages when you went back to stock, if so maybe try deleting all messages, clear data in app manager. Back up your messages before deleting though
Yeah i deleted everything. Flashed stock and tried. Nothing. It makes me mad that i cant use my phone.

just to clarify - the new sim card worked for a week or so on your S3 and stopped working. while the same sim card(with an adapter) works on your captivate ?
i want to figure out what's the source of your problem.
other thing - if i understand you correctly you went to AT&T to fix your phone. i suggest go to AT&T center or call their support cause every company has a number for checking sms transportation and see in what stage it failed. it's just sending a code to a certain number and you should get the desired info.
i really don't think it's a software problem
Here are the details. One night i noticed i wasnt getting text from a specific someone and it was weird. Within the next couple of days i went to AT&T store. Got a new micro sim for my S3, didnt work... Got a regular sim and put it into a old phone they had lying around and it worked. I then had them cut it down to micro sim and put it into my S3. Worked for about a week and stopped again. Got a new regular sim and put it into my Captivate and it worked. So im on that until i have it fixed.
Spam off
Sms center number right.

If I were you, I would try with another operator's sim card to figure out if the problem is on att network or the phone. Maybe get one of those pay-as-you-go/prepaid plans and try to receive an sms- if it works, then the problem is on att's network
Thanks i will see if one of my friends will let me.

When you put your sim in your Captivate did all the missed messages come through on the Captivate. If they did then I would say it's an issue on the S3, if not then it's probably an at&t issue
All of them came through yes. But why would it not work on the S3. And randomly? There was another guy on the forums that had the same problem.
