Display issue? Help - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Hello
I just got my s3 from tmobile
And the screen looked perfect until i ran into horizontal division in blue colored area of the screen.
I was wondering if this is normal, because my friend with verizon s3 does not have this problem at all
Is it a defect? Should i get it replaced
Please help!

i'm on tmobile. and i'm on sonic rom. it changed 4g sign to H+ on its own. i thought they just changed the icon, nothing else.
it's not a defect even i had them when i was stock?

i just rolled my tmo sgs3 to stock, and confirmed that it still has the problem, with the 4g sign.

There are quite a few threads on this site about it.
Mine is stock and I get up to about 20' and seems to start losing signal. I am fine with that though. Phone is always close by me anyway.....

1.9Ghz and more? Anyone know about this?

So I'm on the phone talking to this sprint rep cause I was having terrible data with perfect signal strength, he said to try and turn on 1.9Ghz 3g and that was all he would say, any more and it would be like rooting the phone and that got me curious as hell, what really are our phone's capability??? And anyone found this setting yet? He said it was somewhere by debugging but I can't find it...

If you wonder what those service techs are thinking it's just gonna cause headaches. For the record I'm a CDMA switch tech and half my co–workers are as much in La La land as the service reps/techs.

I remebered an old trick from when the evo first came out where it was for some strange reason running in a gsm/cdma hybrid mode, or so the diag screen says, and if you change it to cdma only the data speeds were improved. I'm no network engineer so i'm not sure how that works, but for our phones if you click on mobile network itself in settings, the network config menu shows the radio mode as LTE/CDMA as default. I was having horrible speeds, maybe topped out at 200kbps on multiple tests, switched it to CDMA only, and was getting the same speeds as my OG evo, still a paltry 600-800kbps, but that is at my home where the 3g speeds have always been like this. Give that a try, and note that the setting doesn't stick if you reboot.

[RADIO] AT&T JB Radio E97020J

For anyone that wants the AT&T Radio from the new Jellybean update.

New radio is great. Top 3 are new att, rest are either .33 or .48. Gps accurate to 8 meters, in my basement.

Carrier name shows up as Maritime. When making a call, the app shows that the phone is immediately hanging up, but then the call goes through anyways and shows up in your status bar. You can select the notification to get back to your dialer.
Everything else seems to be working so far, however.

Already known and reported. According to dvhexer Maritime is also AT&T. The same thing was happening to me, until I just flashed back to the default .33 N4 radio.

+1 for this. I was looking for the stock modem that comes on SnowJB that way I have it before I flash this just in case.
Does this increase cellular reception or Wifi signal? My G has problems with low service areas and will often get poor Wifi signal from multiple routers. Just curious because I'm not sure what a different radio is or does or where to get others. Sorry for the bother.

8 meter gps accuracy in a basement is good. Being in BFE USA doesn't really impact GPS performance, it actually helps so long as you're not under a dense tree canopy. The lack of tall buildings to play havoc with the RF coming in from SPACE helps a bit. I've seen 1 meter accuracy in the middle of nowhere, Arkansas and that's more BFE than anywhere in Virginia.

Maritime Communications is partnered with AT&T. Mainly used for cruises and such. While people on other networks like T-Mobile and Verizon may be charged roaming / international rates, AT&T does not. I preferred Maritime back on my Atrix 4G. Granted, I'm connected to AT&T Microcell, now.

4g and 4g LTE on vzw

I live in an area where I'm used to getting 1x and a bar of 3G, however today I noticed 4G and just now an icon popped up saying 4G LTE. Whats the difference? Given, vzw store said we would get 4g within a few months but didn't expect it this soon

I understand your question. It's the same thing on VZW. I think you just missed the LTE part the first time.

I wonder if you have an overlap of network types between VZW and another carrier like AT&T or something like that?
the DNA can only connect to Verizon's LTE spectrum IIRC. It can do basically all GSM/CDMA but not LTE.
I'm wondering if maybe he has a custom ROM or a custom status bar. If he is stock then that icon change is weird. And as stated, the DNA can only connect to Verizon's LTE. It does not support LTE from AT&T as it runs on a different frequency.

Shouldn't be a difference between 4G and 4GLTE. Your area is probably getting prepped for 4G. Expect it to go on and off for several days, even weeks, before it is officially turned on.

You need to call tech support and complain, that's no where near the speeds you should be getting. If you call tech support usually they'll come out and figure out what's wrong.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Seeing how your area just got LTE, expect it to be slow for awhile. When my area got it a year and a half ago, it was pretty sucky for the first few weeks. Most likely they are setting everything up. Give it some time and it should start getting faster.
If you do live in an area that has had LTE for more than a month and you still have this speed, you should call Verizon.

its because the stock rom is not showing your real reception. this is a known issue but its not really an issue its just cosmetic. stock carrier roms show higher signal even though your signal isnt really that high.
