I have experienced signal loss(no signal at all) on my samsung galaxy s ii, at random times. I am pretty sure that there is network coverage in that area.
When this happened, i normally got to wait for a few seconds and everything get back to normal...
Anyone experienced this or theres an issue w my sgsii?

I'm in Atlanta and it seems 4G has been down the last few days. Anyone else notice this or is it my phone? I haven't really changed anything, just installed a few apps.

I'm also in AZ and can confirm i'm only seeing 1X where I normally have strong 4G/3G Signals.
I'm in Connecticut, and seems like I'm having a similar issue. However, I'm rooted, running Gingerbrick radio/ROM, and been changing kernels as Imoseyn puts out new ones, so I was not sure if it was the network, or bugs in the GB software.
No issues in Charlotte. I am currently in the middle of a medical building with no windows and 3 bars signal strength. I just got over 15Mbps down and close to 8Mbps up on Speedtest.net.

In washington dc...i'm getting 3G but not 4G. However I did update the kernal before I went to bed last night so that might be the issue.
EDIT: Rebooted and 4G is back.
Thanks
No 4g where I'm at in cali... But I can say for the past few days, 3g has been slow if at all. Have to do reboot just to get anything and it will say 3g in my phone but no data when I try using my browser and all. (Data turned on)

STL here, 4G zone, into and out of 1X off and on all day.
4G was very spotty in Cincinnati this weekend.. seems to have leveled out as of this morning.

4g has been spotty today I'm in the Pomona area
My first 2 androids were the htc hero and evo. I then switched over to the Epic touch 4g GS2. When i first got that phone, i had extremely weak signal strength and would encounter numerous dropped calls, as well as a complete loss in signal. Eventually, after dozens of modems that i flashed, the signal got better.
I now have the gs3 and am experiencing the same issues that i had when i first got my gs2. Will Samsung ever be able to make a modem that is worth a damn? Also, is this only a Sprint thing, or do other carriers have the same issues?
I've had an airave during in my closet because it refuses to work and just had a continuous blinking yellow light, so that's not a solution.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't know about the sprint gs3, but I heard the 3G isn't that great. I'm getting pretty great signal on hspa+ and lte on att

Yeah, I've owned a Thunderbolt, Droid Charge, Galaxy Nexus, and Galaxy S3 all on Verizon and have noticed that none of the Samsung phones have as strong an LTE signal as the Thunderbolt. I heard Moto's phones get better reception than any of the ones I've owned. On the bright side, the GS3 is noticeably better than the other Samsung ones I've owned.
I get great service on my Sprint S3. I typically have at least 4 bars of coverage wherever I'm at, besides a few places.

I get a decent signal everywhere but my apt. I'm in between 2 buildings, which may be blocking the signal. Even so, i usually have 0 bars or no signal. I didn't have this issue with my htc phones. I guess I'll call Sprint and try to get my source airave working.

That's what I'd do, because I have friends with the att Galaxy S3 and I get better service than they do.

It Works ok if im less than 5 meters away from server. But anything over that and its unusable. I work about 10 meters from the server. And I get at least 2 - 3 bars of signal out of 4. And I can't even post a comment on here. The speed is very fast for about 30 seconds and then ridiculously slow. It also struggles to connect. Tries about 3 or 4 times before it connects. I'm running cm10 on s3 but have this problem on stock, omega and checkrom. I had simular problems with the s2 aswell but not s1. I don't want to use wifi kill as its my work and it might not solve the problem. Is this the s3 working on networks with multiple apns? Is there a code I can call to turn off power saving ?? Can't force to 5ghz either.
Some advice would be massively helpful. I am getting very frustrated.
Thanks in advanced

The s3 q&a is far more helpful than this whole community?

I believe the problem lies in network or in the wifi router. Maybe it's overloaded, try on-off cycling the router and see if it works then?
I kinda doubt that the issue is in the phone
I've fixed it now mate. Well chuffed. Don't know what it was really. But the method I used in above thread worked. It all started when I first rooted and flashed omega. Cm9 got rid of the authentication error (so it seems Sammy is at fault there) as for the WiFi range of about 3 meters and no connectivity after that distance. I'm not sure. Perhaps a problem deep in the settings I could not find. But completely wiping all settings worked. Not ideal. But confirmed working all day at work. So maybe a omega fault I don't know. Jus happy to have fixed it

It can be many problems! Maybe the ROM that you are runing has poor Wi-Fi support or maybe the phone is just "getting old" or maybe its the Wi-Fi set that sends you the signal!
I got a s3 which is not old but I've fixed it now. Thanks

Hello i just bought the galaxy s3 the last week.. i noticed that it gets connecting and disconnecting very often! Every 5-10 seconds does thatat.And the signal is weak compared to the iphone 4 same location ..i mean the router is 5-6 meters far away and im getting 2-3 signal bars but on iphone i have full signal!
Are there any ways to fix the disconnecting/connecting issues?
THANKS.

Mine is the opposite the minute i switch the phone on it locks onto the WI-Fi straight away.
Try a factory reset and perhaps that could do the trick

Sometimes randomly even with 2 to 3 bars I drop to 4g for some time. Dont know if its my phone. Or a known issue. Or my tower. :\ anyone else? Never happened with my s3.

Are you in a strong 4g area? Over the past few weeks I've had the note 2 I have yet for it to drop to 3g. If it keeps up go to the vzw store and get a new one.
Eh two to three bars. Its happened like twice. Im gonna keep my eye on it. I got a 30 day exchange windows through best buyb

Solid 4 bars here.
I have two to three bars here and I drop to 3g every so often. The phone is just trying to figure out what the better connection is I thibk.
