JJEgan already told you what you SHOULD do. You said yourself the GPS never worked. Why didn't you return it then, before you moved countries? If it never worked, there probably isn't going to be a miracle that anyone can give you to make it work now.

As above and at best reflash rom ect or go to a good mobile shop

[Q] Ace 5830L - not receiving making calls -no network

Hi, Until 4 days ago everythink was fine.
I did NOT do any changes to the phone.
Recently, I was calling with difficulty and receiving sometimes (call and txt.msg.)
Today I just does not get the network.
I talked to my provider and check the line - it is fine.
I asked for problems on the network - it is fine
I asked if the phone is in negative (blocked by the provider - stolen or found phones) - it is not (sometimes it happens in Argentina for many reasons)
My chip is working in a different phone
A different chip (line) that works fine is not working on the Ace.
Internet is working fine
Last thing to check is if the antenna has a problem.
Before taking the phone to a service provider, that is a pain in the ... , since it takes time.....
Do you know how can I test it?
Thank you.
Maybe this is being caused by the baseband. If your phone is S5830L it is the Latin America version so I am guessing that for your region you need the Latin America Baseband.

My phone is 5830L, it used to work.
It has been purchased to the local provider, so this is the version I should be using.
Maybe I would need to test the basebands??

What baseband are you currently on?
Did you do any updates to the phone whether it be official or a custom rom?
If you did you probably changed the baseband you're supposed to be on.

You should try a different baseband. Flash the S5830LUBKP7
That one works fine for me.

Ok so you need help geting into download mode?
But the clip you linked shows exactly how to get into download mode.
Hold vol down and home while phone is off and then turn the phone on.
Also you need to keep trying out different basebands to see which one works well with your region/country
You could also visit sammobile.com to find some stock firmwares to odin them to your phone and try to check if the baseband you had before is available.

What happened on my post was that first I did not know how to boot in download, but after I posted I googled the solution and I wrote it down.
IN terms of the phone: after the change you suggested (and that I did) the phone worked for the first minutes and after that it was dead.
Finally, today as a miracle it is working fine. Just like that.!!!
It seems that People from Personal Telecom are getting afraid when their system is not working and in particular with the latest event on Movistar and Claro.
Thanks for you help.

Connectivity problems

Hi All,
I have some problem with my network connectivity. Since I bought my Galaxy s3, the network disappears so I'm not able to make any call. I have to restard my mobile to get network back. Some people told me that it is a baseband problem (as I'm in Belgium and my mobile comes from France) so I changed it but I got the same problem but less often.
Can you guys tell me where the problem comes from?
Thank you very much!!

More likely sim card problem or network itself check with your network .
Backup data and factory reset the phone or check for updates via OTA or KIES .

Concerning the updates, everything has been done and i'm now running on Omega v9.1
After all of thatm is it a technical or material problem?
Thanks!!

Omega is not a factory rom so that could be the problem or the modem .
Suggest wipe phone remove rom counter to zero with Triangle |Away flash stock rom and test fails return to service center .

Problem persist only on wcdma or also on GSM mode?
Wysyłane z mojego GT-I9300 za pomocą Tapatalk 2
Okay. So this isnt 100% confirmed to work but sometimes it does for me. Install the rom u like. Most roms have modems that are suited for most countries so ull be okay on that part. Whe it says no service make sure its no internet and not no service. Then reboot into recovery fix permissions wipe dalvik do whatever u want haha then go to options and then more then clturn on airport then turn it off.
For those with the no service status it either could be talking a while to kick in due to a bad/unsuitable modem with ur rom or u need to find one that suits you. Here are a few helpful links.

there are other links too to explain modems in details. So just give it a lil search and ull be okay

[Q] Not registering on network

HI,
I have read all the other threads I can find on this subject but cannot find an answer, I purchased a GT-19300 from Ebay (don’t laugh) it worked great for a couple of weeks, then I updated it with stock JB upgrade from ICS, and now it will not register on the network, I have re flashed it returned it stock, re flashed it, checked all the settings I can find, tried other sim cards from the same network and other networks, all with the same result, it shows the network in the network status screen, gives signal strength, I have checked the basic settings with another phone and all are the same. the phone is unlocked, all I did was update to Android 4.1.1 I have also since downloaded a modem rom and flashed that, did not make a difference. Device state is Normal, but the serial number is 000000000000 I am in the UK and my network is orange, but as I said I have tried an O2 sim as well with the same result. Please help!! Thanks

[Q] no carrier service

So first and foremost 'I am a noob' and not sure if this is the right place but I consider this a question, with that said I shall explain my issue.
I have changed the firmware on my S3 to 4.2.2 and it was almost successful minus the lack of being able to connect to a carrier.
I have reverted back to 4.0.x and 4.1.x and i still have no service. I am with T-mobile UK and have seen on a nexus 4 based thread that an issue was that t-mobile doesn't work properly on the latest radio version so i flashed that to .27 (the recommended version on said thread) to no avail (I'm thinking maybe this only works for the Nexus 4?).
When i check available networks i get EE, 3 UK, O2 - UK, Vodafone UK, EE. Knowing that t-mobile and orange are now EE i assume the 2 EE options are just renamed from those, however when i select either option I get 'No service, selected network (EE) unavailable'.
I've also spoken to T-Mobile who essentially told me to go *profanity* myself and talk to Samsung... haven't spoken to Samsung yet.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

1st 7 are 0049990. How can I tell if it is intact?
Also Mobile data and roaming ARE turned on
Edit: just took out my battery and seen a different IMEI number first 7 being 3559940... is that going to mean bad things are in store for me?

Not good I'm afraid...your IMEI has become corrupted/deleted, 0049990 is a default one and that won't register on the network.
Did you back up your efs folder before you installed 4.2.2?

You have no EFS backup then all you can try is flash stock rom via Odin .
Fails its a service centre paid for repair .

That's a different variant of the S3 so I personally wouldn't recommend using that approach.
Get in touch as I suggested in the PM and I'll see if I can help.
Sorry for dropping out of contact, my dad took the phone and insisted he would solve the issue (which he didn't) so when I get home from work today i can start trying to fix it again. Obviously my warranty is voided so T-Mobile telling me to go to Samsung was stupid but i found out I got my contract from carphone warehouse which I forgot (thought i went direct to T-Mobile) and apparently they'll fix it for me... i doubt that very much.
Also I have an S4 now but still want to fix the S3 as i planned for it to be an upgrade for my mum (she needs an upgrade badly)
