Three / 3 UK Internet Problems - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have flashed my phone from a 3 brand I9300XXALF6 to the latest stock UK I9300XXBLG8 firmware, changed my csc from H3G to BTU and ever since then Im having issue with the mobile data connection, I can see the H / H+ icon in the status bar but it is only displaying the flashing little green arrow up and not the orange/yellow arrow down so I can't actually downloaded any apps or view websites or new emails
I have tried flashing back to the to 3 brand I9300XXALF6 from sabmobile site but after rebooting I get an error saying contacts has stopped working & application.acore has stopped working this keeps looping and the phone is un-useable, I have tried booted into recovery mode doing a factory reset/clear cache and I still have the same error once I reboot
I'm am now using stock UK I9300XXBLFB and have changed the modem to what I've read is the stock 3 modem (NELE4) and I'm still have issues again with my mobile data connection
Can anyone suggest on what I should do?

Flash a custom rom and a new modem and see what happens

Same here. No problems at all. I suggest flashing LG8, then do a factory reset.

I've flashed back to LG8 and I'm still having issues, I can be using the net then all of a sudden randomly the green arrow on the H/H+ will only display and not the orange one, this basically cuts of the net and apps will give network access errors. I have a 2/3 bar signal.
Could you please post your apn settings just so I can double check them, other than that any more suggestions?

I still get fairly bad Three speeds even with the NELF1 modem. However, if I take the official update form Kies for Three I get some constant speeds of around 2.5Mbps. I'm unsure whether it's just a flaky signal in my area or my phone

If using CM10 you will loose sound when making calls with NELF1. Wish three would update their crappy software. My 3G speeds have been horrible when trying Jelly Bean. Will be flashing back to ICS tonight and hope that solves the problem..

Been trying nelf1 modem on 3 uk since this morning, previously used lg6 which I found better than lg8. Signal seems better in low reception areas and I got 12.5Mbs on download speed at one point. Running Omega 11 on latest Siyah kernel

Failed firmware update question on international version

Hello,
I've done some searching and have seen some with the same issue. When I go to update it says:
"Failed to update firmware due to network or server problem. Try update update.. or try using kies."
Message started out of the blue a couple weeks ago.
Kies says I'm up to date. Tried through Mac and PC
Went to recovery and cleared cache and tried again. Saw that advised on another forum. Tried on 3G and different wifi networks. Possibly Samsung server error, but strange it lasted for weeks?
Baseband is I9300BULF1. Not rooted or anything.
This is my first Android. Mainly trying to isolate if an update is available or not and if there is a problem how to resolve.
just wondering if kies is up to date? Worth a check, personally I never use that rubbish, Odin for me!
thanks for reply.
I had checked and made sure Kies was up to date. I mainly use Mac, had just downloaded a version for PC, but made sure was latest version.
From what I see there are different versions based on region, etc.. Not sure if/how to tell what the latest version should be.
Latest firmware to flash is LG9 firmware.
It doesn't matter where you are, you can still flash it.
Go to samfirmware.com and you'll find the latest and you can flash it via Odin, way easier than that ota nonsense.
I've had 6 android phones and never once have I waited for an ota.

Thanks for that link. I set file to download so should be ready by when I get in.
I have this file downloading
"Singapore (StarHub) 2012 July 4.0.4 I9300XXBLG9 I9300OLBBLG2"
From latest search that was the only one I saw with LG9
looking up info on odin as well. Looks like that's PC only program, but no problem.
Going to give this a go tonight.
Thanks
Lg8 is the same but European version I think so depending where you are it may be advisable to flash that, I'm fairly certain lg9 is the Asian version of lg8 so may not have your csc if you aren't Asian?

Yes, good point.
All custom roms are based on lg9 but then again they are all multi csc.
At the end of the day the csc doesn't really matter, its only related to carrier/location based bloat and crapware.

If you are talking about LG9 firmware, it will only works with international SGS3 and not with american SGS3

I have the international version. Just saying I'm I'm the USA as something was mentioned on first Page about LG9 and Asian. Browsing from phone now, have to do more research. Still new to droid
It won't do any damage to your phone if it is the intl version, it just may not be optimized for your particular network (HD voice, fast dormancy) and on the other hand it may be just fine.
tbh there is no official firmware for the intl s3 on American networks.
In fact there is a thread here for setting up the intl version on at&t by ceo.mtcl, look it up.
It won't do any harm to your phone tho, I'm in Ireland running a custom rom and its lg9.

Samsung galaxy s3 mic issues??

Hi I've recently been having problems with my mic on my phone when I ring someone they can't hear me but I can hear them fine, but I know the mic is working fine because I tried the voice search on the Internet and it worked ok, I've tried restarting the phone but still no luck, any help will be appreciated also another question can a rooted device receive software updates through the phone?

Had the same here.
Flashed the Three UK modem (NELE4 I think) over XXLG8 on my unbranded unit -> people couldn't hear me
Flashed back the modem matching the firmware -> all good
I guess I'll have to wait for Three to update their modem to work with later firmware.

I'd say you answered your question yourself. If you can use the voice search function fine, then your microphone is still fully functional. You should rather ask the person who was calling you if his/her phone is still working alright. I've had the same problems and it was either:
The German Telekom performing maintanence on their network
or
The other party's phone crashed.
.
No. You cannot receive stock Samsung OTA updates if you're rooted. You can, however, get OTA updates from CyanogenMod. (And yes. Before anyone says anything, it DOES download deltas as well as the fully fledged software. It's just a matter of the app you're using and the settings you have set.)
Hope I could help!

[Q] New here, need some help

Hi there, I'm new here and hope you can give me some help. I have a galaxy S2 i9100.
I struggled to update using kies so I decided to look into rooting and flashing a custom rom. I ended up using Odin and flashed Beanstalk 4.4 ROM. I really liked it but I now have awful reception and mobile data doesn't work(yes its switched on). I'm on 3 network in Ireland. Will flashing a different ROM sort this problem?
Model no. GT-i9100
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband:i9100NEKD5
Thanks.

So I installed 'i9100XXKE7'
Now if I search for network operators I get Vodafone,Meteor and O2 but no 3. This happened on the last modem too.

Make sure the files you are flashing is modem only not modem+ril.
Give me a download if the file you used.
By the way try this modem http://d-h.st/nJF its XXMS4 one of the "better" universal modems. Well not exactly universal but so far many from all over the world have not much issues with it.

If your imei number(settings, about phone, status) is unknown, empty or 004999010640000, you need to restore backup efs folder.
And try modem ls8.

You should just try another rom, you can flash it via cwm, if that doesn't work, learn what modem your stock rom has and go from there.

I think I just messed up my phone.

Ok, I have a Rogers note that I unlocked and was moving it over to mobilicity.
I finally got cwm working so I installed blaze modem, but then it get telling me no sim.
I tried replacing my build.prop file and now the phone won't boot up past the Rogers logo...
Eff me. Any ideas?

It has to be in download mode for odin to recognize it. Look through the forum for the stock rogers firmware download and flash in odin when in download mode. After flash cwm in odin and root. If your worried about flash counter u can download and flash the flash counter reset in cwm. I've had my flash counter up to around 70 so I don't think youll have problems

Ok, I've odined back to a stock firmware. Next up is Odin to jelly bean.
My mobilicity network is working but it's extremely slow. Would this be because of the modem?
I still need to 're root the damned phone because I lost my root after odining back to stock. Will wait to root until after jelly bean update.

Nice. The network speed can be a number of things. Like coverage, proximity to antenna, and network capabilities. What is the parent company of mobilicity? Also take into mind that carriers do throttle network speed when u reach a cap.

Telus is mobilicity's paremy company if that merger went through.
Brand new data usage so no cap hit yet. It's because the Rogers notes frequencies aren't the same and I am in the process of changing the modem on the phone which will increase network speed again.
Just need to not **** it up this time, lol.
But jelly bean update is next. Gingerbread is a pain in my ass and extremely slow. Then rooting because to change the modem I need to be rooted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547114
in this thread, which i believe is what I need to get my Rogers note to work on Mobilicity, it talks about the modem not working good on stock rom, and about CM10.
what are these?

[Q] I9300 wrong Network

Hi I am hoping someone can help me out a bit,
I decided today to root and flash my I9300 to 4.4, I done a Titanium Backup and read everything I think I needed to.
Rooted phone successfully using Odin, so decided to look for a decent Rom to flash too. I decided on C-RoM-KK-v6.1-20140421-i9300 from this website,
everything seems to be working great, except that my Network Operator keeps swapping to TMobile instead of EE, I have checked my IMEI number to what it was originally and it hasn't changed, but even when changing networks manually to Orange (EE) it keeps changing back to TMobile.
Please if anyone has any ideas I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance.
Factory reset and flash the latest stock firmware with odin, then test.

Thanks, it's back to stock rom and working with EE (Orange) but still not sure why it would keep swapping from EE to TMobile on a 4.4 rom.
4.4 is not official so you can expect minor issues to happen.
