Bought my galaxy s3 last monday with the anticipation of lte. I live in Decatur right outside of Atlanta, and I work in Buckhead, northern Atlanta. My galaxy wont connect to lte unless i reboot it, therefore im taking it back to best buy and hoping to find one still running 4.0.3. ive had nothing but issues since updating to 4.0.4. I know i could root the device, but when i purchase a new phone, i prefer it to work as expected, without having to hack it. I expected lte issues as ATT and Verizon both had theirs, but everytime i call Sprint they give me the run around and wont fess up to having lte issues. Hoping the 4.0.3 software didnt have the connection issues that 4.0.4 does along with the terrible battery drain.
If you guys have some ideas of what else to do to suffice for the time being i would greatly appreciate it. I did find a few posts about the lte issue with sprint, and im glad im not alone, but how is everyone coping with the battery drain and the connection issue without having to root?
All s3s come with 4.0.4 standard.

Yeah the sgs3 was launched with 4.04 there was no 4.03. Unless you're taking about a small OTA update ? Best thing you can try is a factory wipe as that solves things usually. Give it a shot although you'll have to reinstall all your apps. But since you may be returning it you'll have to do that anyway.
I say factory wipe it and before installing everything see if connection issues resolve.

Did wipe twice with no luck. I swear mine came with 4.0.3. I remember seeing it the day I got it. But had an update 2 hours later.

The ota update DID NOT TOUCH THE MODEM. therefore the update did not cause this

I dont think the update caused the connection issue but I do know that it made my battery life even worse. I swapped it out for a new device today and come to find out I was wrong it does come with 4.0 .4. I apologize for my lack of knowledge I know everybody on this forum is smarter about android and I am just looking for some answers to help solve the issues at hand. hoping that this device will connect to lte without the issues that the last one had.

So take it back like you title states and just get the iPhone then, I'm sure you'll be happy. First you state the update is causing connectivity problems now its battery? My S3's connectivity is perfect as where my S2 sucked, don't know what to tell you, maybe you are in an area where LTE signal is hit or miss, seems to be an issue not only with ATT, but also Verizon.

Why would the OP even get an iPhone, that doesn't even get LTE! I'm on Sprint too, and I don't have the connection issues that you seem to be having. I've heard that the LG2 radio update was causing some problems for people though.

Nah, I know a lot of people don't even know what LTE is.
I used to have an iPhone. I prefer Google phones. Had a g1, evo, photon, one the galaxy. Swapped out for a new galaxy and it connects to lte but now I have a new problem. Battery life is worse than before and the bottom of the phone stays hot. Updated software, updated prl and profile. Any ideas? I doubt mean warm, this thing flat out gets hot. And one it takes forever to charge. Bern on the charger since 10:30 this morning and now I'm at 81% and it's 3:40 pm???!!!

Any real ideas as to what might be going on?
Going to wipe this one as well if the battery is still hot then I'll swap it out again
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Perhaps it's the phone itself...
I'm on my second phone so far and this one perform much better then the first one. Granted I didn't mess with this one at all, other then did root and restored most apps from TiBackup, but the battery is at least twice better, no heat issues.
I'd would swap it to a new one first to see if it's any better.
Yeah I'm definitely going to have to take this one back. Took it off the charger with 75% and it crashed down to 0% in less than 2 hours with no accounts syncing except google, and this was after a fresh wipe. Also getting overheating warnings on the screen after it charges for a while and the phone gets super hot. Even the screen on the front side gets hot now. All this came after I updated it this morning. Next Galaxy I swap it out for tomorrow, I'm thinking about holding off on the updates until I can find a good changelog, and known issues that come with them. This is my first samsung, and I hate that its off to such a rocky start. I know I could root and possbily fix these issues myself, but this is the whole reason I bought insurance. That and stock ics offers me everything I currently ask of android.

Router: Netgear Wndr3400

The image below is of a scan I did in WiFi analyzer. Scan frequency of 1 second.
As you can see its very frustrating. And its not like I have a poor signal.
I have searched everywhere and tried many things. (Turning WiFi performance on, messing with the channels)
No dice.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, you didn't list that in your OP. Sounds like a trip to Sprint repair is in order. You've already done the only other fix I've heard of, changing channels.

Good luck, and let us know what you find.
No, no this has to deal with the roms we download. I was on Cm7 and it constantly dropped when i was on my phone surfing the web. Switched to nightley 150+ #build and it did not drop on me. I recently Switched to MIUI and it has started to drop on me, this is frustrating when you need to download a rom.
My only guess is it has to deal with the roms we download. Before anyone says anything no, my wifi is on a NO SLEEP policy, it not likes to drop the wifi while im surfing the web.

It's not the rom. I had the same problem with my EVO3d before and after rooting and trying multiple roms. I tried a different router and haven't had a single problem. It is clearly and issue between the router and the phone. Now I just need to figure out why they don't get along. Ive heard about switching channels but haven't had a chance yet.

Ya, your right its not the rom. I tried switching channels from auto to the one i needed but it didn't help and then i went back to auto and it worked well for a bit. Now it isn't working well.
Notes + im on a HTC Increíble. My router cost me 139$, ive never had a problem vía wifi nor on ethernet. This is strictly something on these roms, trust me ive looked into this alot. The only conclusion is that..
If you think about, did your signal drop with your stock rom? Not mine.. Until i Switched to Cm7 i randomly have connection issues? Lol

You keep mentioning cm7. I'm assuming u do not have an evo3d correct? And my stock phone straight out of the box and after rooting and flashing a custom rom had the same problem with one of my routers. It works just fine with other routers. Also the signal doesnt fade or drop like with my og EVO, it simply disconnects then reconnects 30 seconds later.
Edit: just realized you said u have an incredible. Also no other phone or device, including my old EVO, has had this problem. There must be a setting within my router that isn't playing nice because it is the only router my EVO3d has a problem with.
Sent from my evo3D using the xda premium app
On my OG evo the only time i had problem with wifi was on cm7 but that was just weak signal. Nothing like this. If you like at my pic in the first post it is scanning every second. so its not like its disconnecting for 30 seconds. Which is weird because it says im connected the whole time.

Hmm, that's odd I am having the same problem but only its not my router.
But yeah, I'm usually on for 30 minutes to an hour and it drops for 20-30 seconds. Disrupting my downloads, I have heard there is a program for I think what you need axe. You said it's refreshing every second? If I'm right I remember seeing you could change your refresh rate somewhere to save battery life too.
So we have the same problem but different issues.
Hmm...
Edit------ My old router was terrible and did not want to cooperate with any of these devices I use. So I bought a 139$ Router and works perfect.

naw the refresh rate i was talking about was just how frequent it scanned the signal strength in wifi analyzer.

ya.
Just some more info on my problem.
When i run a speed test the ping is very quick (~50ms)
But once the download test starts it just dies. It freezes on a number then goes to "network communication issues"
Hmm, yeah it might be a router problem for you guys.
When I do that it finishes, I'm just having wifi issues.
Mine occur only in certain roms as stated above, with miui and cm7. Nightley though worked, I didn't have any drops. I'm thinking about switching to a sense 3.0 here soon to see how it stands up.

Router
I've had similar issues with stock and custom ROM's on my old Hero. I started having similar problems with my 3VO, so the first thing I did was reset the wireless settings on my router to default and then redo the SSID, change the channel and power setting, and of course - change the password.
I haven't had a problem ever since.
I had the problem on my Stock ROM. Actually it only showed up when connecting to my N router, but did not happen when connecting to my G router. However my issue I had to turn off the radio and then back on before it would reconnect. I downloaded something called WiFi fixer. This fixed my issues completely. Hmmm, might have to play with some different kernels and turn off the fixer and see what happens.
Check router firmware netgear.com/support. They have WiFi issues on 3700 maybe yours too

I have been reading in the forms that this is an issue. I too am experiencing the heat issue, yet I don't see any fix. I read that the screen and/or the radios are the issue.

Mine gets a little hot at times too. I just pulled mine out of my pocket to show a friend and my screen was on and it was pretty warm, more than usual.
yeaa it gets really hot. i can't even play any hd games. the phone might over heat and crash
I had 14 hours of use today and over 4 hours screen on time. I think the higjest one got was 95 deg
I have the extended battery if that matters
Yeah, she gets a little warm. Anecdotal evidence says that the phones that get way hot (130-150 during games, 120 ish during regular use) have a hardware problem... I have read from a lot of people who have been that hot and say the trade-in was better.
Also, the extended seems to dissipate the heat better.
As for me, I didn't have much of an issue until after the first OTA. Now I top out around 125 when playing heavy games or surfing hard on 4G. Not happy about that, but I don't think it's hardware in my case. I need to get an extended anyway....
Its because of a CPU issue where the CPU runs at the highest clock speed instead of scaling like it should while the screen is on. I have this problem as well and my battery is absolute **** now :|

But I did have almost 5 hours screen on time :-\ didn't feel that hot. Really like having ics but that's getting pretty warm
i am using "easy battery" to help me keep my battery life and kinda keep it cooler. i recommend to return to stock os and wait until the official upgrades are given out.
When I first got this phone it actually ran hot, so hot that I can actually feel the heat on my leg when I put it in my pocket.
When I upgraded to the current leaked RUU, the heat problems went away.
I have zero heat issues on my Rezound, I still haven't gotten the new leak yet, waiting for a ROM that makes me really want to do it.

Everyone will install the ota the same way the leak was installed. The ota will include new radios and a new boot loader version. They always have. Easy.

maybe the official update will fix the problem
You could run the RUU again and you would be back to bone stock, albeit a leaked "official" stock, but still stock. You would have the stock recovery and be locked again.

As much as I love this phone I'm really starting to hate it. When I first got the phone I had problems with the wi-fi dropping and when you wake the phone it would come back on along with the awful multi-tasking recent apps. After the OTA it doesn't seem to do that anymore.
Now what it does it will show my wi-fi is connected full strength but I go to use the browser, an app, play store whatever and nothing. Just sits there forever no internet connection. I have to toggle wi-fi on and off for it to work again. I use wi-fi all day at work & while I'm home obviously so this issue affects me a lot. The router is a WRT54GL running Tomato which I have been running for years it's been ROCK SOLID on all my devices (including evo3D, original evo, laptop, etc) I just recently rooted and am running Stock With Goodies part of my reason for rooting I thought the wi-fi would maybe have been fixed but same issue on this rom as well.
It's so frustrating to pick up your phone to do something and have zero connectivity so you have to restart your app your trying to use cause it gets errors. I have tried everything I can think of, setting it to 2.4 only, high performance, changing channels on the router (again other devices work perfect). I don't know what to do about it anymore, I could bring it in to Sprint which I will absolutely not bring to them unless absolute less resort usually I know more then them anyway. They are just gonna tell me it works fine and give the phone back so I came here looking for some advice. Not really sure where to go from here but I can't stand having the phone like this. Does anyone have the same issue as me or is it possible my radio is bad? Speed are signal levels are just fine when it's working. Also it seems the longer the phone sits in sleep the more likely it is to happen.
Try going to WiFi settings. Then menu that and click "Best WiFi performance" that solved it for me. Running viper 4g and had a consistent problem with the WiFi dropping and reconnecting or not connecting at all.

How does this affect your battery? I'm trying to figure out what is even causing this issue if it's just the router, my phone only or what.
Best wifi performance will seriously impact your battery. It prevents your phone from sleeping properly. I found that I got an extra 10 hrs of life when I disabled best performance when I was still running stock.

Yea I'm starting to think so as well, I don't have 3G problems actually the 3G radio I think is pretty good. I don't have the drop out problems anymore just after the phone being idle on wi-fi for a while I have to toggle it on and off for it to actually work. My signal levels and speeds are totally find when it's connected it's just letting it sit sleeping for a while is when I have the trouble. It's super annoying I pick my phone up to do something and it doesn't work.

Yeah. I don't remember having those issues with my first LTE but then again I didn't have it that long before I took it back to BB for a borked NFC chip. Wondering how their return policy is on a phone past the initial 30 day purchase..
yea my wifi just randomly drops and reconnect all the time and some time my data to it guess anoying after awhile when your usein the browser at work
Think this has been discussed before. The latest ota was supposed to fix the WiFi dropping, so if you have that and still experience problems then it's hardware related.
My first LTE dropped WiFi for 3g constantly. No matter what I did it kept happening. Finally took it back after I messed w gwallet too many times and got secure element error. New one doesn't drop WiFi at all. Also haven't updated to newest ota.
Ask me about my ability to annoy complete strangers!
I have newest OTA I don't get the disconnection issues any more since then but rather it staying connecting but not being able to get online after the phone sits idle. I have another person that has the exact same issue with me having to cycle wi-fi to get it working. I'm starting to think maybe it's something to do with Tomato but I have never had issues with it on any other device.
Every tomato Rom I used before was awesome and never had issues either.
Noticed that when I wake my phone it doesn't want to connect on WiFi. 3g disconnects a lot on bad signal too.
WiFi isn't as bad when I use juice defender. Mainly because it reconnects all radios when awakened though.
Ask me about my ability to annoy complete strangers!
I have no idea what's going on. I'm in San Diego and there back in PA. I'm running out of ideas why the DNA is doing it. I have a modified S3 myself so I got no issues. But I had her download Better Battery Stats and WLD and this is what I got from her.
She does have the new 2.06 update.

Sorry to hear about the battery life. I personally have had amazing battery life. My phone was at 14% when I went to sleep and woke up to 7%. Not sure what the issue is. Connectivity is the only thing that stands out. I doubt she had bad reception. Any apps she's downloaded that could be using her connection more than it needs to? Only other thing could be is the battery. Does she leave it plugged in all night?

Well she was getting great battery life before 2.06 I think. And I know my house, the area is quite strong for a connection. I barely got signal in my room and I got better battery life even with RILJ tripping hardcore. Not sure about the apps. But She plugs it in before she goes to bed, and its by her side all night. So it's not left on the charger all night

Hmm. Could have been a bad update? I hate doing a factory reset but it sounds like it might come to that :/ before that when did the issue start? Maybe we can correlate an app download to the start of the issue?

It could be a bad update, but without me actually on the phone myself kinda hard to pin it down. Before the update she only installed a few apps. She already uninstalled 3 of them which she never used. I just looked the apps via Google Play online account and nothing looks suspicious and those are all the same apps she used on the Inc2 before she got the DNA

My guess the update didn't go as planned. Tell her to move all her files to her pc and do s factory reset. Hopefully that corrects the issue. All else fails. She could let the bootloader redo the update and hope that was the case.

Are you turning off data? Perhaps facebook is keeping your phone constantly awake(looks like it) and that kills your battery. First post a picture of the "other" category in better battery stats and get one power guard and post a screenshot of the "statistics" page.
Download gsam and look at what's taking up a big %. Somethings keeping your phone from going into deep sleep.

Yes I had her turn data off. The only time she is on 4G/3G is on the road. Her work place and home is all WiFi use. She is charging the phone so I'll have to get it for tomorrow.

I'll tell her to get GSAM. I even have DS Battery Saver running on it and whatever is running is bypassing DS
Here is the GSAM. Hasn't been running long but the kernel is doing something

Look at the wakelocks in gsam.
And gmail seems pretty high.

Alright I told her to do that. Gmail is quite odd. I think the damn 2.06 update went bad but i can't be sure
EDIT: Here it is. Well the first one was a joke. My mother is a funny one. I suspected the worse. msm_hsic_host. Any way I can fix it without teaching my mom how to root or do other various mods?
Looks like she has bad reception. Go to settings, about and network to see the signal strength. msm_hsic wakelocks happen when you have a bad signal, ril also causes wakelocks. This is probably the issue(90% sure).

msm_hsic only relating to the S4 pro chipset or all phones? Cause I have very little signal where I sit in my room and I don't get anything msm, just a screw ton of rilj on a Galaxy S3

Try turning off "fastboot", make sure GPS and Bluetooth are "off"
Just some info you can take a screen shot by pressing the power button and the home button. Press power then quickly press the home key. Just thought that would help ya out with your captures.

I'm getting horrible battery life too. I had it fully charged at 100% and it has been on for 2 hours with barely any usage, and now it's at 80%.
I have been running 4.3 a long time now on my One. It takes a couple days to calibrate. I have had the best battery life ever on 4.3. You just ned some patience. I hear it all the time on the 4.3 custom ROM threads.

Go to the Google play services app and clear the data.
That was causing a huge wake lock.

I was on STOCK 4.3 also WW edition. I just switched to stock T-Mo edition. Search the forums and you will see a bunch of complaints about battery life on 4.3 after just a few hours of flashing. Everyone replies back to give it a few cycles and how it is the best battery life they have ever had.
The battery life on mine with the 4.3 has improved greatly.

I hope it works its self in, because yesterday was HORRIBLE. Even today, I took my phone off the charger 30 minutes ago and with NO USE, I'm at 92%
Animations seem choppier too. Rather annoying

Guys... Install something like Gsam battery monitor so you came actually tell what is using your battery.
You most likely have rouge apps that are causing wake locks

Anyone else getting sluggish performance after the update? I never had any performance issues on 4.1 but some apps are really slow and jerky now, even some of the regular system animations are slower.
Also, is it just me or did the developer options disappear from settings.

Yeah, I had to Factory Reset twice to get rid of the lag, and it didn't completely resolve it. It's like even some of the core apps aren't optimized. Weird. The stuttering animations really make me pissed
If you want developer options go to settings, about phone, software information, more, then click on Build Number a bunch of times and it re-enables developer options
I feel bad for u guys tht had to wait all this time and now have performance/battery issues ... I have none here hahahaha
Actually I think it's better after that 2nd reset. It may have just needed some time to "settle"

Seriously? That's weird.
I don't want to factory reset, especially if it doesn't even solve the problem. This is lame.
I disabled the lookout app. That got rid of my wake lock . Battery life is still bad though.

No problem here. I did notice that my phone was running hot after the update. I ended up powering it off for a few minutes. When I powered it back up, it ran at normal temperature. Or maybe it just cooled down.
well, I sure am glad I have a jump from t-mobile. I'm going to offload this piece of crap for Nexus 5.

I have no battery issues here. I cleared all cache using an app right after the update.
