Me too on 3G. Fine on wifi.
3 UK network, latest stock ROM but with NELE4 modem (used by 3 in their roms)

On Vodafone UK
iPlayer App tries and fails with every programme on 3G. All fine on Wifi.
iPlayer mobile site tells me to turn on wifi, and that it's only supported on 3 and Vodafone, but not on Android, iPhones or Symbian^3.
iPlayer desktop works fine when browser has desktop mode ticked/useragent changed.

Iplayer seems to be working OK for me on THREE network (UK), or by WiFi.

I'm also on LF2 but it's not an operator locked phone. Would that make a difference?

mines not either, im also using the LF2 modem & rooted, are you?

Mine's certainly not rooted.
"About" reports baseband version I9300XXLF2. Is that the info we're looking for?
I just double-checked to ensure that I was testing properly. Wi-Fi definitely OFF, phone reporting H+ data connection. iPlayer streaming fine atm.

it must be a root issue as we have the same handset, network & firmware what is your csc? is it still (H3G)?

OK, I wouldn't expect CSC to be H3G because the handset didn't come from Three network. I just happen to be using it on Three network.
Kies reports PDA:LF2 /PHONE:LF2 /CSC:LF2 (BTU)
I think I'm even more puzzled now. What does the BTU code mean?
Incidentally, the phone was purchased new as sim-free / unbranded / unlocked so if anything about the CSC implies otherwise, I need to know fast ;-)

LF2 BTU is stock UK, we've got the same setup only mines on three UK contract but is unlocked out of the box, I'm thinking my problem is either being rooted or that I flashed LF2 using odin & all my settings from LE8 (H3G) were still intact, maybe I need to do a wipe? I have done a few CSC changes but it keeps reverting to KOR had to resort to manual editing to fix CSC,

out of service problem

ok so my mates sgs2 was working fine till today, it now wont make/receive calls/texts. when trying to ring we get the error, mobile network not available.
in the settings, in about phone, status, the service state says out of service.
I have tried his sim in my sgs2 and it works, as does my sim in his phone (different networks but still)
so its only his sim in his phone.
any ideas?

Try Change sim carrier.... if not work try reflash... and then Factory Reset.
I think it's a baseband problem so just flash another baseband through ODIN or CWM

If it still not works, may be the IMEI has lost.
tried different rom and factory resets but no good.
the inside is still there. I had that problem with mine, this seems different

it was originally on tmobile, flashed listening v6.0 to it then unlocked it with the app off the market. was working fine, then just stopped. since IV tried reflashing the rom, changing to checkrom v2.0, Odin and flashed generic Samsung firmware, still the same thing, only no sim cards work in it now.

ok ill give that a whirl. but when you say about doing the some unlock, I have nowhere to put the unlock code.
IV done a online check of the inside and it came back as unblocked but IV heard they can be unreliable. do you think its maybe been blocked?

ok so he took it to orange and spoke to them. they checked the imei and it has been blocked.
is there anything I can do to get this phone working for him. he swapped his iphone 4 n £50 for it a couple of weeks ago now he's stuck.

I believe that the IMEI of your phone has been blocked by Orange. This might be because your phone has been reported as stolen or damaged. You should go and talk to Orange and ask them to unblock it. Otherwise your phone will not be usable in this country.
Some scumbags do this on purpose so that they can claim phone insurance...

LFB network bug

I've recently noticed a weird network bug on LFB. If the phone loses signal (on subway etc.) with data on, when signal is available it acts as though the SIM was refused by the network continuing to display Emergency calls only. If I turn data on and off it gets weirder (see screenshot).
The only way to fix it is too reset the radio, with flight mode, or *#*#4636#*#*
It's definitely not a hardware fault since, as you can see it still can connect to the network. It just acts as though the connection was refused (or alternatively does something weird that causes it to ACTUALLY be refused)
Anyone else experienced this??
The phone is an original BTU using unmodified LFB on China Unicom

Are you able to set/receive calls or send/receive SMS? What about USSD codes to your provider?
I've already read about other users complaining about this issue, I guess it's a software-bug in the display.
No. I'm not sure if HSDPA will work in the example pictured. I was in a hurry to make a phone call so just quickly snapped the screenshot then reset the modem.
Messages will get service unavailable. Incoming ones don't get received until I reset

Yes, I've experienced the same thing a couple of times since LFB on carrier Telia in Sweden.
It reminds me of the phone/modem problems with the SGN which they never fixed before I sold it.

Washington D.C. has no GSM coverage inside the tunnels. Only some stations have coverage. Only Verizon and Sprint with CDMA devices have service on moving trains.

You can flash DXLF3.. It works so much better than the LFB radio.

Beijing.
Well 2G is okay. But it sometimes will lose it briefly in the transition from 2g to 3g.
Only Beijing subway line 4 has China unicom WCDMA coverage. the others are limited to 2g at best (except the overground lines, but even they are patchy)

Having updated to the stock LFB ROM and modem (UK, unlocked, unrooted), I'm really perplexed about the behavior of the phone data reception:
(a) 2 weeks ago, I tried using data connection in a friend's flat in Balham (London), could not get ANY data connection all weekend.
(b) Last weekend, data was consistently perfect and fast anywhere in the same flat, all "H+" 8Mbit and lovely.
(c) This weekend, same place but NO reception again, not a saussage. Voice phone worked fine, just no data at all.
And, yes, I've seen "emergency calls only" sometimes even when there is apparently a strong signal.
Back home again (Portsmouth), phone works fine.
On the plus side, battery consumption is wonderfully low!
Can anyone explain what's going on? It feels like the data connection is sometimes reluctant to "log in" or whatever is does! It seems to have a mind of it's own.
Thanks!
You may want to try another modem like DXLF3. It has better data network stability especially in cities or areas with faint signal.
I am planning to upgrade to the LFB, but i am not rooted. Want to be sure if i have problems with the modem signal, do i have to be rooted to install the new modem driver??
Thanks in advance...

No Network Coverage - Res Remix Rom

Installed res remix two days ago it was working fine network coverage seemed fine... then I woke up and I had emergency calls only no signal... Tried re-flashing didn't help. Tried a stock rom and it still didn't work.. simcard works fine in friends phone, and a simcard on the network Three works fine in my phone :/ so i'm abit lost at what to do, I'm pretty new to all of this so please ignore my stupidity lol
I think it has something to do with the baseband or modem

i've tried different modems and the phone works on a different network sim would that still cause it
Search the thread for a modem of your region and try a few till you get one to your liking. Takes a while for the phone to get 'used' to a new modem so even if it isn't the best at first, the signal tends to improve after about a day or so. I have never encountered problems with signal but I hope this helps

[Q] HSPA 3G not working on Samsung Galaxy S3 Int'l Version

Good afternoon xda members I was wonder if any of you have had this problem with with your Samsung GS3 Unlocked Int'l. I bought one off of Amazon and the phone works fine (popped in my sim can get phone calls and all that). The only problem is I can't get 3g/HSPA+ on the handset. The best that I've gotten is EDGE. I am with Cincinnati Bell Wireless and have already put in the appropriate apn settings into the phone. If there is anyone out there with this similar problem whether you are on Cincinnati Bell or any other GSM carrier feel free to shoot any suggestions.

Slow 3g connection

Hi everyone. Recently I bought a Note 10.1. I'm experiencing slow connections on 3 network UK. In a place where I always have full h+ signal tablet keeps swithing between 3g and h+, it takes ages to open a website. I just wonder if it has something with a rom/radio as it seems the tablet comes from O2 UK network. Full factory reset was done. Any ideas guys?

Samfirmware lists generic UK firmware as N8000XXCMF1, it will, I think, not include radio, just PDA and CSC. You could always try that first to see.
If you really have note 10.1 maybe try the galaxy note forum here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1735
