So I just got myself a new GS3 and everything seems to be working great except my phone goes to Edge where I should be getting 4G. My brothers GS2 is sitting next to mine and he's got full 4G. I'm fully stock and not rooted. Any ideas?

You sure you're not holding it in a death grip? Just playing, how many bars does your brother get in 4G mode? If he's rooted, he probably has a custom modem so that could be the difference. or you're antenna is just crap.
Lol were both stock and not rooted atm. He had I think two bars at 4G and I had full 3 bars on Edge. It's been on 4G since that but if it keeps doing it I'm gonna go and exchange it or it may be a software issue that a OTA will resolve

Hey guys was reading in the radio thread and trying to figure out what radio is giving the best coverage and data at the moment?
Currently I am on 518 which is what the phone came with out of the box. Have seen some say that this is the better of all of them but have also seen people say to actually downgrade...
Let me know what your on and what your experiences have been.
Thanks will be given if you can help me out here!
It would depend on where you're using your phone, no?
I need something I have no reception at work or at home

that prl hack wouldn't be a good thing to use..as your data always is roaming via Verizon's towers which can get your account terminated for to much roaming, ill post a tut soon though hopefully once I get home..

You could try out each of these radios and see which one works best for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193101
The 518 radio works great for me.

Can't complain about those speeds while in a half basement. Luckily I have not had any problems with dropped calls or any thing either.

If I had speeds like that, I'd pee my pants!
I average 400 to 600 kbps at my home in Colorado Springs. I've tried all 3 radios and it seems they are all about the same.

Damn and I thought I had good speeds.
I have a Galaxy Nexus LTE and did not see these speeds with Verizon
Yeah I've hit the mid - high 50's as well. But, to be fair AT&T's LTE network isn't as congested as Verizon.
Hell I was jumping up and down hitting 2+ down haha
I'll never see LTE in my area
I got 57 last night in the del taco drive through.

Same speeds in McKinney,TX which is in the North Dallas area. I'll probably keep my International Note now. I'm getting 8-10 with HSP+.
I haven't ran the test since then since I hit 5 gbs of data only 3 days into my plan...
I think i like the ping times the most so far, and Im not even in a lte area.

We're distracted enough out there on the road as it is...last thing we need are a few thousand Android geeks looking at their phones to see if they have LTE. Or worse yet, toggle settings while cruising to get that fleeting glimpse of a not-ready-for-primetime LTE signal.
Let's be careful out there ...

Looks like Ill be rocking my old Captivate until the Google Galaxy S4 comes out.
Honestly I can't say ill miss the X+, I loved my Hero and was very disappointed in the accessories for the X+ and the performance, though the LTE speed was awesome.
is it just the touch screen shattered?

Yes, the phone still works. Its such a "rare" phone none of the local screen replacement places have anything for it and won't touch it.

Its not worth $200. I would rather use my Captivate until something new comes along. Besides I can finally have CM10 back.
I'm impressed you managed to break it lol, I've dropped mine several times and the screen is still going strong.
Looks like broken with the hammer.

And the only way i get it working again is toggling airplane mode... This happens every 20 min or so, and it is extremely annoying.
Is anyone familiar with this problem? And is there anything i can do?

If i had it on my s4 and you have 3 different phones all with the same problem it's probably t mobile, and like the previous commenter said, the nexus 5 also had this problem
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
I have this too, here i thought i was deleting too much bloat from the system. But apparently not. IMO, i think its Android 4.4.2 and T-Mobile. I had this issue happen on all 4.4.2 ROMs even on my S4. It didn't happen until i flashed the 4.4.2 ROMs. So I think T-Mobile may have made a mistake in their coding when making the update. Lets see what the next update will bring. I wonder how we could even bring up this issue to them because i guarantee you they will claim its the device.
Don't remember because i have been on 4.4.2 forever, and i can't check because theres no other option besides for buggy aosp, but there have been a few updates within 4.4.2 like NF6 which added VoLTE...
Btw if this is a common problem something should be done... This really f*king sucks
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
Its definitely T-Mobile. A T-Mobile rep told me the issue might be LTE, and to try turning it to 4G only, seemed to help me.

I only have 4g where I live and it does it a lot. It actually only stops doing it when on lte. And yes something should be done about this. This is awful. Can't even stream anything because of it.
