Hi all i have tried everything to get my gps to work, (only got it working once when an alltel rep emailed me alltel nav for the touch pro in cab format, phone got formatted and lost the cab and no one at alltel seems to know what im talking bout.) I have Mighty Rom 6 installed, location is on, have fiddled with the gps settings every which way i can, tried running sprint nav, Google maps, old copy of alltel nav available on someones forum.....gps just wont acquire any sats.

Well it works sometimes......the gps is the only thing that disappointments me with this phone....
If you are using the newest Alltel radio (1.12.20F) the GPS is terrible. Try a different radio. I'm running the Verizon 1.03.09V radio and GPS is working great.
yeah thats the radio ive been using you have no probs with the verizon radio? never messed with the radios before.
I've been using the Verizon radio for a few weeks with no issues. I've been getting decent battery life with it too. I used the Sprint 1.03.15F Radio for a while too with no issues.
I've seen two Alltel Touch Pros personally that the 1.12.20F radio killed the GPS. Change the radio and everything was back to normal.
That verizon radio worked google maps found 9 sats, no more iffy alltel nav problems.. thanks.
I recently moved from the U.S. to London with an unlocked Vibrant. Stuck a new SIM card in there and while calls, texts, and Wi-Fi come through fine, I'm unable to connect to any data network in the area.
I called Tesco Mobile customer service (and did some Googling) and discovered that London is in the midst of a data network outage and that the techs are looking into it, but I can't help wondering if my handset has anything to do with the failure to connect. Does 3G here perhaps work on a different antenna frequency that the Vibrant can't pick up, or something? I know that really shouldn't be the case, since SGSs everywhere have all the same innards, but still...
For what it's worth, I'm running with root, stock 2.1, RyanZA's lagfix and the JI2 GPS fix (which I've also yet to see working for me, incidentally... any ideas?).
Thanks much!
My girlfriend has had a Samsung S3 (I9300) for a couple of months and has had no issues with it however she dropped it and broke the LCD . I ordered a replacement screen (Front glass, LCD, and digitizer) from eBay and fitted this without any problems. I tested all functions on the phone and it seemed to be working okay. The same evening my girlfriend went and run the update and went from 4.0.4 (I think) to 4.1.2 since then she has complained about signal issues which I have now witnessed myself. I wished she had waited a bit longer to make sure the phone was working fine before doing any updates as now I am not sure if this is a software related problem or hardware. There is no way to revert back to the older version to confirm software. I know one option on the software side would be to root it and install a customer rom but I have never done this before and even though reading through the forums the process seems to be easy I am a bit reluctant to do this just now.
The signal indicator sometimes shows a circle with a line through it, sometimes it shows a grey triangle with no bars in it and other times it will show a bar or two and even a full signal. I have noticed even without a sim in it that it can show a couple of bars of signal. I have not got this confused with the Wi-Fi signal. When trying to send text messages or make a phone call the following errors come up “Not registered on network” and “No signal found for mobile network”
Below is what I have done/checked so far
I have restored the phone to factory settings but as explained before this will only restore to 4.1.2. This time the only apps on the phone are stock apps, no additional apps have been installed just encase a third party software may have caused issues.
Her sim will work in any other phone. I have an S2 and have ported my number over from a normal sim to a brand new micro sim to try in her phone. Both of these phones are on O2.
I have made sure the IMEI number is correct and matches what the phone came shipped with.
I have double checked the APN details and these match what my S2 has. Although I am pretty sure this is only for internet and MMS and would not affect SMS and phone calls.
After check over the settings and restoring to factory settings I have fitted a replacement antenna which I also got from eBay. I doubt I have damaged the mainboard as all other functions on the phone work fine. (Touchscreen, Cameras, Sound, Wi-Fi)
For some reason I can get the phone to work at my house on both GSM (2G) and WXCDA (3G) although it seems to be more stable when it is on GSM. As soon as I leave my house and go into town (approx. 2 mile away) or over to my girlfriends (approx. 20 miles away) it will stop working. I have gone onto the O2 website and entered both of our post codes on the O2 network coverage checker and this reports that there are no services down in our area and that we should have a good signal.
I have come on this forum for some advice and hopefully someone can recommend what I could do next. I have had a little browse on the forum already but is there something I have missed? Should I root the phone and install a customer rom? If it was caused by the official update is there an a hotfix of some sort coming soon? Or is this a genuine fault with the phone? If it is a fault with the phone and it has not be caused by me I could try sending it back to O2 (where the phone was purchased from) or Samsung seeing as I can’t see any warranty seals so think I would get away with this.
Thanks in advance for any responses I get to this and I am sorry if I have rambled on and provided info that is not essential.
Flash O2 stock rom via Odin .
If that does not fix it its a hardware repair job and you will be refused warranty as you have self repaired .

I got a SGH T989 and got it unlocked for use in India..worked great for 2 months and then i rooted,flashed AOKP jellybean using CWM....after that, worked great for 1 month... Now the problem is that.....
My phone shows full signal and in the "about phone" menu,the signal strength is -100dBm BUT i cannot make calls and i'm out of coverage area for others.. The weird thing is that this happens only at certain spots (unfortunately, my workplace)...the device works just fine in other places...i ruled out a network issue coz my sim is good in other phones at the problem zones.
I tried another network's sim and it had call drop issues....the call would get disconnected after a few minutes and the duration of the call wasn't constant....this was also when the phone showed signal strength of around -100dBm. I had used this network before and it was working good with the phone..
I tried a master reset, complete system format in CWM recovery, reverted back to stock rom using odin, changed radios (UVLE1,UVLH1 and UVLI1)....nothing has worked so far.
There was no external injury or water damage to the phone, i didn't install any app outside of the play store and i use genuine charger for my phone.
I love my phone too much to let go....please gimme a solution
Thanks!!
I bought sprint Galaxy Note 3 unlocked from ebay India. Everyrhing work great in it but one problem and the biggest problem which can't be cured is UNSTABLE SIGNAL. Signal falls from full to no service and again gain network.
Did everything I can. Updated with latest stock rom, which automativally updates bootloader and modem.
Factory reset, cleaning and all, flashing new rom, changing to New Sim and trying every network Sim available.
There is nothing under the sun I didn't do.
I used this phone for a month without Sim and it worked normally without getting overheated. And I speak and chat on social sites like whatsap, Skype and it's works fine.
What is the real problem? Radio band compatability? Hardware? Antenna compatability?
I don't know what but this is the best phone I have ever used. If I can fix it, I would be the happiest one.
Please someone help.
