I need some assistance trying to narrow down what is causing my issue. I posted this in the TMobile SGS3 Q&A section but I wanted to post here to get more exposure and perhaps someone more knowledgeable can chime in. I believed this to be a AOSP JB kernel issue but I also tried CM9 on my phone and the problem persists.
For some reason my phone will randomly disconnect from my WiFi connection when running an AOSP rom. The actual WiFi service will remain on; I can see available networks but it will not reconnect to my saved AP unless I toggle WiFi off/on, and even then it will randomly disconnect again. The same thing happens with CM, and ALL CM-based roms. I have tried Faux, Imoseyon, Trinity, stock, and Ktoonsez kernels and none seemed to fix this issue.
Stock TW roms, both ICS and JB, keep my connection just fine. I also used the same CM nightly build on my GS3 and my Galaxy Nexus for testing purposes. The GS3 will lose connection while the GNex does not, so I figured it had something to do with the kernel since those are usually phone-specific.
As for the WiFi signal, I don't have any issues neither at work nor at home with TW-based roms. This only happens on AOSP. Any insight you guys have regarding this issue is appreciated. Thanks!
I ran a logcat but to be honest, I do not know what to make of it. would anyone happen to understand where my issue is?

Are you using any kind of signal extender or an acess point? I've seen similar problems with android getting confused on wich point they need to connect, if the answer is yes try to turn off the extender before connecting to see if that's what's causing the issue. Unfortunatelly I don't have simple steps to solve this, it's all trial and error, turn off the devices individually and start connecting until you get an order that suits your phone.
Hope it helps!
Thanks for the input. I don't use either of those. The phone connects directly to the router. The router sits in the same room so signal is always strong and no other devices connected to the router have any issues. This is definitely a bummer because I would love to run AOSP as my daily driver. I will keep troubleshooting.

On every Jellybean rom, I have calling issues. On some roms, call audio wont work. On the rom I just flashed, it would not make or receive calls all together. Also, this happens only after a certain period of time. And it goes from sporadic occurances to permanent. It takes about a day or two for these issues to start appearing. This is so god damn frustrating because in the beginning the rom works perfectly, I spend all my time setting it up, and then a day or so later, I get these issues that make the phone completely unusable. Its absolutely ridiculous, and If anyone has any ideas, please please let me know. I love the JB roms but they all seem to make my phone unusable after a short time.
Please help....
JB roms are still a work in progress. And your problems could be caused/made worse by your setup (apps, widgets, tweaks, etc...). If you are using different kernels/radio, it can also contribute to problems. There are just too many variables.
My answer : use an ICS rom. ICS roms are alot more stable on our phone right now.

I am observing similar issues. I didn't used to happen before. I mean it did happen but it was a rare thing. But now it is more often. Almost everyday I have to reflash because of loosing phone audio.
I was rocking AOCP 3.1 , Worked really sweet and then decided to update to go for AOCP 4.1 and since then no rom that I tried have saved me. In fact I had to revert back to stock. What rom are you using?
People, it's a known issue on all JB Roms.
Don't open a thread about it.

I have the exact same issue now, It doesnt look like any rom is saving me right now.. my phone wont make calls or receive texts at all. I was running cookies and cream 4.1.2 and everytime i flash a JB rom it just seems to get worse and worse...
EDIT: I got it back on ICS. I guess I will just have to wait to use any JB roms... its unfortunate cause I love the JB roms hahaha
I have had issues with JB as well. I, just like the OP, would experience a perfectly working phone for a day or two then **** would hit the fan for no apparent reason. The phone would start locking up, randomly rebooting, apps would fail or not load, etc etc etc.
On most ROM's I didn't even have anything installed outside of the stock apps that CAME with the ROM.
Since then I have moved to a deoxed stock ICS ROM and honestly am not looking back. ICS is fast, stable, feature packed, and JUST WORKS.
My thing with JB was it's speed...but I was also comparing a barebones JB to the stock Gingerbread that came with the phone. I wasn't aware of how fast ICS was or I would have just gone with it long before hand!
But yeah, either way it goes, for me, no matter the ROM, JB always seemed to mess up at one point or another. Got annoying. Been going with ICS for over a week now with ZERO issues what so ever. No reboots, no crashes, no freezing, no nothing.
NEVERMIND..... ICS worked for one call, and now no calls work... great....
ICS roms are very stable.
You may have flashed your rom/kernel/radio incorrectly, or made some tweaks, or installed incompatible apps... There are too many variables.
Revert back to completely stock setup and see if the problems persist.

Same. I think it's the same for a lot of people, and I think the ones who say things run great either ignore the problems or are just extremely lucky.
Switch to Padawan. It's rock solid and you get all the fanciness of jelly bean. Since switching to it I've completely lost the itch to try out random JB ROMs. I have cool animations, Google Now, and ICS Browser+. And until I rebooted earlier to mess with stuff, I was at 142 hours uptime without any problems.
I'm not calling anyone a liar, though. I just think some people ignore more or are, as stated, lucky. I've done wiped everything, went back and wiped stuff post ROM, ran 3rd party (3rd ROM party) kernels and the ones that come with it. I've set cron to fix permissions on boot. And other than gapps -- which I always flash what the dev says to -- I run about ten 3rd party apps, and that's mostly made up of solid apps -- dropbox, exdialer, ics browser+.. etc..
Padawan, or even Nebula.
These ROMs are by the same dev, and the only difference is that Nebula is based off of Canadian version, which has even less bloat. It is better than stock.
I have been on Nebula for about a week, and no random reboots, no lockup, no phone problems. Everything just works.

I like padawan, and Im on it now. But i still am getting this random issue where calls do not go through. Its so aggravating that Im about to smash my phone against the wall. Its happening all the time now and when I need to make a call, I cant. god damnit
have you flashed the most recent modem?
Yes, that was my next question.
Have you at any point flashed a different kernel/radio/modem? If you have, or if you do not know, search for stock kernel/radio/modem and flash them to see if it helps.
yes, uclf6 modem but eventually it just gives out.. idk what the issue is here everything works fine for a few days and out of the blue when I need my phone i cant receive or make calls anymore its INFURIATING

I have had a similar issue with the JB rom's...so far I've tried only two and seem to find the aokp_quicyatt_jb_milestone-1 rom. I have noticed issues with my phone and LTE network coverage...meaning, I can see the signal go from 4G LTE to 3G to H, then gone...I looked at the phone status settings and noticed the mobile network type with this rom is LTE:13 and with the stock ICS rom (prior to rooting and flashing) it was LTE:14...is there a way that I can change it via terminal? Thank you in advance for any help on this. The one big difference I can see so far is the battery life...much better. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Issues are known....Thread Closed & Thank You.
Hi guys. I'm having a real hard time with my phone right now and I hope someone can help me.
First of all, my Note is still on ICS running the last stable build of CM9 (CM 9.1.0 to be exact) without any other kernel or radio modifications. I just performed a clean install of this the other day also. The problem I'm having is that the phone will literally be sitting next to me connected to my home wi-fi and it will fail to receive texts and phone calls. What I mean by that is, my girlfriend will be trying to text me but nothing will come through on my phone for up to an hour. Then at some random time, all the so-called pending SMS will finally display on my phone all with the same time-stamp. Similarly, if someone tries to call me, I will have no notification of this until way after the fact when the voicemail symbol appears (that's IF a message was left).
Now, to me, this seams to be happening at completely random times and I have not been able to pinpoint what's causing it. Before, I used to think it happened after a prolonged time of having the phone on silent and non-use. But just last night the problem happened again when this was not a factor.
A few other notes:
Only seems to happen at home where I am connected to wi-fi. And frankly, I don't travel enough to test my phone anywhere else. While at home my signal strength on AT&T fluctuated between 0-1 bar up to 3 bars. Kinda strange, I know.
Before switching to the CM 9.1.0 rom, I was using CM9-Kang h0tsauce "9" 20120817 *reborn* for quite some time. I experienced the problem with that rom as well but it didn't seem to happen as much.
Rebooting the phone seems to help. When I do this, it seems to push everything through and allows me to be able to receive new messages instantly. Obviously, though, this is not a good work-around since I have no idea when the problem will show up.
So.... anyone know what's going on here? Hardware/software/network problem? I've done some searching but couldn't really find this issue discussed anywhere else. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have been having the same problems as you on a Blackstar X and Flapjaxxx's ICS build 12. I talked to AT&T a couple of times and they reconnected me to the network which has helped a little, but I still get missed texts and calls, but not as often. I have no idea how to fix the issue. Hopefully, somebody out there does.
Sounds like to me that you have a very bad signal. In case you didn't know, texts go through the phone signal and not wifi. The wifi connection is just a coincidence since you never leave home and are always connected to wifi. Going somewhere with a better signal would help clarify this.
There are apps on Google Play that restore your network when it goes down. Possibly they may help you.

AOSP ICS builds are known to fail phone operation...
Not always, and not on every device.
I pulled CM9 yesterday for this very reason...
And it appears you are having the issue as Well...

I started having this issue with my One X. Git a replacement and had the same issue. Now on my note I have the same issue. It's only at home though and I'm on wifi. Started on BlackStar X now I'm on FJ AOSPxxx JB. Seems to happen more. Think I might go back to BlackStar. Didn't happen as much
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Also ..if going back to blackstar ...
The older version is UCLF6 ...And the newer version comes from the N7005 device base .....
Not that it makes much difference, but the older version will likely give you the same results as FJ's UCLF6 builds.....
You may want to try the newer version first ...g
Edit: the older builds allow the use of FJ's 3.0.2 kernels....the newer base will not.
I Have SGS2 I9100 and have problems with Bluetooth working when I'm calling. Bluetooth works when I listen music and i can hear touch tones when pressing number before dialing but once i dial the Bluetooth is silent no voice on nothing. I can call and hear people when i call them without Bluetooth.
I have installed following ROMS with same result in the end: Carbon, AOSP Neat, Resurrection remix and Slim kitkat.
I have no idea where the problem lies it seam like every 4.2+ rom has same issue. i have checked my system folder and rw--r--r is there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am also having the same issue. When connecting to my car, bluetooth music works , just the phone doesn't. As a phone call is initiated you can hear sound for a split second then it cuts out. I am currently on the latest Resurrection Remix. I have searched the development forum and see that others have the same problem, but just like this thread, nobody seems to have a solution for it.
Any help would be great
Thanks for your help

Same exact issue. I tried Cyanogenmod, Omnirom, and a couple different versions of each (stable, M build, nightly), and nothing worked. I did a full wipe each time, and that still didn't help. I even tried apps like Mono Bluetooth Router to no avail. I finally went back to stock JB 4.1 since bluetooth is a must for me.
In case it matters, my phone is branded as a I9100M for Bell Canada. It's supposed to be the exact same hardware as the I9100, but could it possibly be slightly different? I see cliff03 is in Canada as well. I can't tell for sure, but it seems like the problem affects some users but not others. Maybe that's why?

Okay, I think I figured it out. While I was testing I flashed a stock I9100 (not I9100M) ROM, and since then my bluetooth is now working on all custom KK roms. This is the I9100 ROM I flashed (I9100XWMS2):

So I have been trying various MM roms but have finally admitted defeat and gone back to stock.
For what ever reason mobile signals for Virgin (EE) by us is not great, but the OPx has proved the worst phone I have owned yet with regard to making best use of what reception we do get, (Still have OP1 and S7 owners in the house, so have comparison).
However, all of the many MM roms I tried only made things worse with either weaker signal (or that's how it appeared) or they were unable to handle the swap between Wifi and Mobile, always requiring reboot, once I left the homes Wifi in order to get mobile data working!
It's so bad that I am even considering replacing the phone, but it's hard to find anything else in budget and size with same spec.
Thanks to everyone here who builds these custom roms and all the accompanying support, but for now I will continue with stock until I miss MM facilities too much.

It's just face value which shows yellow line in battery graph as far as I can tell. I do not see any difference now. Transition from wifi to mobile data is fine here. I am using turbo at the moment. Give it a try. If you wanna switch to a new phone, moto g4 plus should be good choice.

Hi, sorry not sure I understand the first part of your reply.
Anyway, the truth is that apart from this recent damned data issue, this is close to the perfect phone for me (seriously couldn't go for anything as large as the g4).
I have owned the OPx since release and though mobile data was never the best, it wasn't as bad as it has appeared this last couple of weeks. I am hoping that I have had a 'perfect storm' of events that led to 2 weeks of poor data connections/transfers. Bad roms, poorly implemented, weak mobile data areas etc etc.
Therefore, I am going to continue with testing different roms and set ups and hope that I can fix the issue, because there is no other phone on the market that comes as close to my perfect phone as the X.
I second Turbo ROM but also try Validius. Using it right now I think they feed it steroids.
For me this solution worked when facing troubles with mobile data on custom roms:
(Re)install the stock rom, backup EFS in Twrp, do a complete wipe, flash custom rom, restore EFS in TWRP, reboot to rom, restore standard settings in APN / mobile data settings, reboot.
It solved my frustrating issues, hopefully it does the same for you!

Many thanks for replying, I had indeed seen your thread and tried the solution, though initially I didn't think it had solved my issue. However, due to there being no other phone I care for, I tried another rom and then reflashed the EFS backup.
And you know what, I think it may just have worked this time.
Thanks for your help and others.

That's the one I'm trying and so far so good
It would be great if someone could create a flashable zip with oxygen RIL to use on any custom ROM. Don't even know if it's possible? Perhaps @RJDTWO can enlighten us, do you have the expertise? ?
Sultan's rom is the most stable regarding cell signal quality and speed. I have tried lots of roms, his rom is the only rom that comes near oxygen, every other custom rom has considerably worse lte speed and signal quality
@cokesucker it needs integration with the rom as far as i know, i think Sultan made the modifications needed for the rom to work with oxygen RIL
Folks, Ive dirty flashed the latest Rom, which I assume writes over the stoc EFS restore I had applied previous version of this Rom
Regardless, the difference in signal (as well as other areas) is noticeable.
I love this phone again, thanks everyone.

This is unfortunately not possible. The RIL itself is built with the ROM.

I tried most things and thought that occasionally I had solved it by 'forcing wifi' or whatever.
However, because much I what I did was reactionary rather than trying scientifically to identify the main issues, the causes probably got lost in location, reboots, resets, etc etc.
What I can say is that for 2 days, I have been using Sultanas latest Rom and it has worked flawlessly.
Nice, good to hear Bob!
I'm using that rom too, it's a real gem!
(Oxygen EFS restoring was still necessary despite the oxygen ril though)

That's interesting, I'm using "as is", and so far so good. I'm off on travels tomorrow will keep an eye on performance. Any issues and I'll restore stock EFS.
