Hi, I've had my galaxy SIII for about 2 weeks now from Vodaphone UK.
I've previously had full signal and best data connection with other providers and my coverage is shows as the highest.
I was wondering if others have had this problem and if it could have been made worse by rooting and changing firmware.
Currently:
build number: IMM76D.I9300XXALE9
kernel version:
3.0.15-554452-user

i think it is hardware fault. I tried rooting thinking it might fix the issue by flashing some custom rom but didnt help. get it replaced.
Im also on Vodafone in UK. Flashed the Omega v5.1 Rom and no issues so far.

I tried doing this with the firmware given for vodaphone UK, however whenever i try it odin freezes when checking MD5 and "stops responding", does not allow me to complete the process. I am carrying out the process the same way i have before so im not sure why this is happening.

"with other providers", are you saying that your last phone was fine on say Orange, but since getting your S3 on Vodafone it's worse, or were you previously on Vodafone.
I've had no problems since upgrading on Voda from the GS2 to 3, but if you've come from another network it will be different.
I was previously on virgin using a HTC Desire HD, and the reception was perfect. Even after talking to them today they said that my coverage should be high speed in my area, however I'm shocked to the fact people cannot even get calls through to me in my own home now and then.
I tried flashing the Vodaphone firmware but it freezes and does not complete due to odin "not responding". When I flash another firmware now currently XXLF2 it works fine.

Hi guys, i'm thinking i may have to send my G2 back to O2
I love the G2 but as an actual phone mine as become next to useless! 99% of my calls drop out mid call or freeze with the other persons voice freezing mid-sentence and stuttering like a stuck record. At this point the screen usually freezes so i can't do anything with the phone for up to a min (approx) .
I find even if i have full signal, as soon as i go to make a call the signal will drop out completley, showing the circle with a bar through it? I thought it may just be crappy O2 reception but my wife is on O2 and her phone is fine.
Has anyone experienced these problems or similar and can provide a bit of feedbak? Otherwise it's gonna have to go which is a shame cos it's brilliant for everything else
I've now restored my original O2 branded firmware as the phone may have to go back to O2, i've also used a USB jig to reset download counter.
When i type *#1234# it shows:

THis is what i was expecting however when i check in Settings > About Phone the Kernel version is: [email protected] #2
How come when i re-flashed the O2 branded firmware did the kernel not get replaced with a non-root kernel?
Any suggestions on how to get rid of the Root kernel would be most welcome
I'm in the process of downloading a full wipe rom so i'll maybe flash this and then re-flash the O2 firmware to see if that removes it?

root doesn't mean the phone is rooted.
DELL101 doesn't mean samsung got dell to make the phone either.
That is the original kernel.
HI
Are you sure its root? I dont remember what the stock kernel was for me but have you tried running a root app with success. set cpu is a good one to try you can find it free here on xda.
About your reception issue,
Its the modem/radio that sorts out your reception have you tried different ones? Im on o2 in the midlands i find KG6 modem to be the best for me.
What custom rom where you on? and do you get the same problems with the stock rom?
Actually flashing different modems would be a really good idea.
mynamesteve, pointed KG6, I would also recommend the KH3 modem as well.
Try it before you take it back.
As for rooted kernel, I recommend using speedmod, by hardcore.

Thanks brother
mynamesteve, LiFE1688
I tried running Titanium backup and it failed so as you correctly suspected it clearly isn't a root kernel.
Also i flashed original O2 firmware
PDA: I9100XWKDD
PHONE: I9100XXKDH
CSC: I9100O2UKD1
and the Kernel version was shown as [email protected] #2.. so there we go

Where is the best place to find individual modems? All the firmwares that i have flashed have been a single tar file or zip file containing the 3 components....
Thanks again guys ;p
Sigh, it is even a sticky thread.
Galaxy S 2 Shipped Modem Collection
You can also use rom manager to download it.
Thanks again, i've flashed KG6 firmware so will see how the reception is with it, if there's no change will try KH3 modem...
Nice one
I tried everything, and since I rooted my phone, my mobile network which is giffgaff and runs on O2, before rooted was 3 bars inside my house, and now I have to either stand near a window and barely get 1 bar, or go out the house, which I think its stupid, cause if someone wants to call me, they can't reach me and the phone is useless.
My misses have a htc hero, and I insert my sim card on hers, and have 3 bars, and she also have giffgaff and her works fine with 3 bars.
I know I should not have rooted.
my was XXKWJ3 that was the Kernel before I rooted, and the modem was KJ1.
I did not know then how to do a Back up for the kernel and modem baseband.
can someone help sort me out.
I'm also looking for a good rom, was looking to put the resurrectionv9.5, can someone tell me if this rom is any good?
thanks
What's the model shown on the sticker under the battery?
Mine is i9100T and although I can flash any i9100 firmware I have to flash a T model modem after that or reception is horrible.

Most modems work in the UK .
root should have not toched your modem . Have you checked correct settings for which you should use the Giffgaff tool from the market .

Start by flashing KL1 and work your way back to KDD .

Hi!
So my S2 wont register on network anymore, It sometimes find a network but only if i have ROAMING enabled but it still not help.
the phone works fine on Wireless n such but not with a SIM-Card in it.
I have done these steps so bare with me:
Fully updated my Android versions
Restore to fabricated settings
Tried the APN settings, No luck
Tried the SIM in other phones, Work flawless.
Now my last hope is that maybe the problem lies in the phone's room, or something in that direction.
Btw this is a phone that has been sold and bought here in Norway but after a friend took it to thailand and got back from there the phone has'nt been working as intended.
Any thoughts?

Try different modems

Hello,
I own a Galaxy S3 International and I haven't updated it in a while. When I got it it was with some Vodafone branded rom (I think it was from Vodafone Ireland) and I just flashed it the first 4.1.2 that came out http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=9222 - I9300 XXELKC
So the phone was working fine with this ROM although I have a problem with 3G - can't use 3G so I think the modem in this rom is not the same as the phone's but I have no idea about this... Now for no particular reason I've started to get some random freezes so I read about this Sudden Death Syndrome and decided that I should update my firmware before it's too late. Thing is I have no idea which ROM to pick? Should I get 4.3 (can you downgrade after you get it?) OR should I just get the latest 4.1.2 version? Also how can I be certain the ROM's modem will be the same as my phone's so that I can use 3G? Because now when I use my mobile internet it can't connect to 3G it just uses the H+ and every now and then it tries to connect via 3G but this results in no internet so it switches back to H+ again. If it will be of any help my kernel version is: 3.0.31-566833 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 30 17:48;33 KST 2012
Thanks in advance for the help

Download the latest version Android 4.3 for Ireland with sammobile.com
.Sudden Death occurs between 150-200 days of purchase device...Perhaps you OFF because you key the ignition faulty - My friend had the problem.
I think you can downgrade at anytime.....
Why not make a nandroid backup, and try it yourself whether the 3g works or not. I guess the modem will be different, but if it is working on your area, why not
I live on the furthest country from many ROMs being developed and having no problem with the modem?
