No service bug. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys!
Currently running miui and I've started having some issues. The experience is flawless expect for one little thing, I can't make calls. It used to work but has all of a sudden stopped working.
There is only silence when I attempt to make a call, however the phone I'm calling rings, but if picked up you can't hear anything. Then it would automatically hang up and say no service.
It seems like the phone isn't latching onto the network or disconnecting when I make a call at least.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sir, doesn't this sound like a problem either with the Modem or some system files (Like phone.apk) ?
Well, you are the senior.
Just a doubt actually..

It is just a possible solution, derived from similar problem on aosp, worth a try

Hey guys. Lock sounds are on. Still can't hear calls even when they connect and are picked up.
It worked when I cleared data for phone.apk but only for 2 calls and now it stopped working again..
Messages and internet work fine though.

Try re-flashing MIUI with a fresh install
Then it should work again. I'm using MIUI without a problem ( I know, I have to update my signature)
CyanogenModded Very China-like, from my Samsung Galaxy S III

Had to reflash 3 times for it to work. Let's hope it doesn't die out on me again!

Note SMS/mms vibration trouble

I tried to search to see if anyone else had the issue, but all I could come up with was different problems. My phone, all original Samsung ics, has stopped vibrating upon SMS and MMS notifications when the phone is in the vibrate setting, the phone works fine. Audible notifications work fine, but I rely on vibrate/silent a lot, and this is agitating. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix it, or should I just take this opportunity to root it and hope it works out? Thanks in advance!

Which galaxy note do you have? The international version or ? Also, do the touch buttons on the bottom still vibrate? Or when you type?

The AT&T version/LTE. Yes, the feedback, plus typing does work fine. Same with the phone ringer as well. Every once in a while the home key vibrates a bit long/harder than usual, but aside from that everything else is fine.

Okay, we are going to do a rest, go to Google play and download handcent its a SMS app, use it to text someone while set on vibrate. If that vibrates or not let me know. If is does, its a problem with your stock SMS if it doesn't still, make sure all vibrate settings are on (there is quite a few) if no again, you will have to hard reset it, everything will be erased, remember to remove memory card, and finally if that doesn't work, its the phone, either get it looked at or you may just have to deal. Rooting has perks, it also could fix this problem (not promising anything on that tho lol)

I'm sorry, I should have specified, I already did try handcent and gosms I think it was? Both work fine! I have been trying to avoid hard resets/erasing everything because I didn't want to lose some stuff I have setup, it is always so tedious! Haha. Anyhow, I think it is the native messaging app, I just figured maybe it had happened prior to someone else, and there was some possible fix without having to go through all that setup again! I guess I'm done being able to avoid it. Haha
Thanks for all the help, I do appreciate it!
Well, installing and removing those other SMS apps a few times seems to have "fixed" it, and all my vibration notifications are back again!

Might be a conflict between your device and the router.

Have you ever been able to connect in the past to the office router with the device?
If you are certain that you are inputting the correct password and are in range of the router, and trying to connect to the correct router, there is one thing you can try that worked for me.
Input the wrong password, and try to connect. It will fail but gets things moving again.
After this input the correct password and it should connect.
Good luck and I hope this helps!

I'm having the same issue. I'm running a stock ROM 4.1.2 (update received 4 days ago) and ever since I'm having this problem. My router is fine, everything else connects to it and I've checked all settings on it.
I've hard reset my phone twice since Friday and tried everything I've found (and understood). Can anyone provide a solution?
This will be the last Samsung I have as they don't seem to give a crap once they have your money.
You're having this issue since JB?
As far as I know this is not a bug, it's about settings.
Sent from the little guy
Yes. Only since the update. All settings have been checked, deleted and re-entered and it still drops out.

A re-flash won't hurt, I find it odd tho.
You can also contact your carrier and ask them about this (you had an ota/kies update right?
Sent from the little guy
It was an ota update from Samsung. I'd contact my carrier, but so far, every time I've called for something it's been an education for them!
Might try re-flashing over the weekend.

[Q] No sound when calling but speaker works fine

I've been using the nightly CM10.1 builds for a while now and it has always worked but lately when I tried to call someone I didn't hear the ringing before the call goes through and I can't hear them talking either but the speaker plays music and videos fine and I want to know how to fix this so I can call people normally again.
I have tried megawiping and reflashing, also going back to stock and starting again and other various methods like trying without gapps but I can't seem to get it to work and I really need it to cause its the only phone I can currently use but I found it was weird because this only occurs to my phone when running CM10.1 but calling works normally on stock and CM9.

I tried that as well and if you mean the thread on xda then I have posted my problem in the discussion thread and I was planning on asking on the CM forums about this problem.
I have same problem, I tried everything, flash ROM , radio, modem, full wipe, everything I could possibly thing of, but the Fu.cking problem is, the front speaker works fine with Viber, but absolutely no sound during the phone call!
And at end I sent it to warranty... hope it would work out

The weird thing was I could get the phone/dialer working but it wouldn't work if I reboot my phone or change any of the settings like turning off animations.

I think it's more of a CM / 4.2.x Version issue rather than a service centre issue - Read a few issues and some say this solves the problem, some say it doesn't give it a try
Ok, i might found a solution:
Turning on the lockscreen sound in the sound setting and then reboot. I´ll try it and then tell my experience with this solution.

maybe replace motherboard will fix it ...
cannot hear when calling
Anyone have the solution yet?
it just happened to me to with AOKP (the last version - JB-MR1 Milestone 1)
Everything works fine, in a middle of a call the phone restarted and now there is no sound
Edit:
After a few full wipes and refreshing all is working good now.
Possible solution

Hey, can you please tell how were you able to solve it? I'm facing the same problem since yesterday.

Sound works....Other than voice calls

As the title states..... Im using the stock headphones. Music works, sound FX works. When the phone connects it goes silent. Dont hear ringing, no voice. They cannot hear me either. Am I missing a setting? Any help would be appreciated.
I have the same issue

Sorry, I don't have a solution but I've had the same issue with my phone. I'm running cm10.1 with the 061713 nightly. I've tried a factory reset and installing the latest nightly from zip but the issue persists. Hopefully someone can post a solution soon. (I'm thinking kernel issue?)
Yeah it works on stock but once I install a rom it's a no go. Seems like if it were happening a lot it would be posted more.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
what ROM are you using? I've tried hyperdrive and the headphones work with voice calls for that, but i didn't like the touchwiz interface so i'm sticking with cm10.1 for now.
I'm on liquid right now. But neither liquid nor AOKP have worked. Must be tied with the TW framework I bet

My S3 can't call since update, but SMS is working

Hi
I updated my s3 a week ago to 4.3 and now i can't call. I have no problems with SMS, everything is OK only when i try to call, i lose the signal for 10 sec. I tried lower versions but without luck. I also tried EZ unlock but it doesn't work.
Anyone any idea please ?
Thanks a lot in advance
Factory reset and flash the latest 4.3 with odin, if still the same then probably a hardware fault.

Sorry, let me explain it again. So, if i try to call someone, i hear nothing, and my signal is gone for 10 sec. My when i send an sms to someone, it's working fine. I can send and receive messages. Skype is working perfectly. So it's not a voice hardware problem

I think the problem is that you keep losing signal. That is why you can't make voice calls, but SMS can be sent and received whenever the signal is back up again.
But the solution remains the same as @JellyYogurt said: flash stock 4.3 via Odin.
PS: Voice calls and skype calls are different since most people use skype on wifi, not their data plan.
