Mobile network problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Last month i bought galaxy s3 shv-e210s 4G LTE from south korea. when i came back home to Palestine (Jerusalim), the mobile start to face problems in making an receiving calls...for example when someone try to call me my device will be unreachable, and when i try to call someone the device will show only dialling status and wont go to alerting, so i have to restart my mobile every half an our to keep making and receiving calls.
Our carrier name: Jawwal and its only 2.5G not even 3G
I changed the mobile network mode to 3G only because there is no lower than this but still the same problem.
Please guys help me i am frustrated..

I dont know the correct place. I dont know all the S3 model forums but the mods do.
Plus you shouldn't repost. Just get the mods to move it using the /!\ button in the top right corner of your post

Posting a more explanatory thread title in the device specific forum would give the highest chance of getting the help you need.
Given that your problem is device specific you are more likely to find others with the same problem, and knowledge of a solution, in the phones own forum than by posting in this one as more people with your model phone will see it.
If your app worked until yesterday it is probable something you did at that point affected it. Maybe try to think what that could be and undo it or an easier option would be to clear the s suggest cache from the ics apps settings page or uninstall it and then reinstall it.

Neither is fibe but somehow you missed that one.
It's called a spelling mistake, clearly their finger slipped to the right and pressed f instead of d. If you spend your life criticising peoples spelling you'll end up very busy as we all do it at some point lol

How to make sure the IMEI of my S3 is legit

Hey guys,
I've recently bought the S3 from someone (2nd hand).
I would like to know if the IMEI of the device is legit and that it wasn't tempered with so i could in the future upgrade to JB..
can you help me out ?
Thanks in advance
Mike.
Firstly welcome to XDA.
Secondly, why do you think it isn't legal? At the top of this forum are some stickies which are available all the time for you to use. They cover a wide range of topics that are relevant to your new phone, not sure about imei number though!
Check out those stickies and hopefully most of your questions will be answered.
Have fun with your new toy

You really helped him.... Noot
You could check on sites like this if it was stolen:
http://www.amta.org.au/pages/amta/Check.the.Status.of.your.Handset
To check if imei is changed is almost impossible on phone itself. But if you got papers from first buyer then on bill and on box should you find imei.
But would help if you tell your country.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
ask him for the box or receipt.
kies, using the serial number and imei you can see if it exists and if it's related to any specific carrier

OK this is what I do with all my phones I buy 2nd hand....call Att or your carrier and give them the imei number that's under the battery...tell em that you are buying it from someone and u wanna make sure that its not blacklisted ...
2nd , press *#06# on the dialer and compare the imei number with the number under the battery
I actually got my s3 with a messed up imei ...either that or I messed it up on my first flash idk..fixed it with the tool here on xda and I'm up and running with full data speeds and works like a charm now

What tool did you use to correct/change your IMEI?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
You are only checking to see if the imei is correct right?
If so, dial *#06#, then check if it's the same one on the sticker on the back of the phone.

hy...i have a problem.how did you restored your IMEI???plss help.
Stupid to hijack a very old thread that has nothing to do with your question.
Restore IMEI is as per XDA flashing rule two backup your EFS .
So simply restore your backed up EFS .
No backup service centre is your next step .

How to go back to stock

Hi guys
I recently rooted my device so I could unlock it, but found out that it was blocked, so I took it to a phone shop, I got it unblocked and a new imei number, the phone isn't rooted anymore but still says modified
I want to go to stock, how would I do that?
I also want to know when I go back to stock, will the phone get blocked again and imei go back to the blocked one
Thx in advance

don't you read the above 2 post ???
Try the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" in the Samsung KIES. It will reset everything according to your serial number provided.
However, I don't know whether it is helpful to you because I didn't experience the same before.

Your phone sounds stolen. You changed the imei, which is illegal and its against xda rules.

Some of the questions are posted there and many people realized their mistakes and have said that they will post in that thread from next time onwards
So it's slow but happening
Just don't help those and redirect them to this thread
Atleast I have said that if nobody then even I would answer the question
But this is ridiculous to flood a section which is meant for guides and mods and Tweaks and news and updates
Then say wrong thread! All the mean words and stuff aren't needed. Tell the moderators to move or delete it.

[Q] GSM locked problems

Hi there.
I recently purchased an Galaxy S3 - i9300 from a guy and it's giving me headaches please help guys.
It was on Stock ICS 4.0.4 and working all good.
Once I flashed it with Stock JB 4.1.2 I couldn't make any more phone calls nor SMS ( GSM wasnt working). However data connection was working (I could go on WhatsApp, Skype etc).
I did a bit of research and it just turns out I bought a phone that was GSM locked. The IMEI it had before I flashed it wasn't the original IMEI and somehow it worked. Now that I flashed it with Stock JB I think it reset the IMEI back to the original one.
I know talking about IMEI change is forbidden to some extend but my question is this :
- Is there anyway for me to get my phone unlocked with the current original IMEI on Stock JB ?
- Would flashing a Stock Rom from a specific region solve the problem ? I flashed the first rom in this link from the forum, the one from Singapore - Asia.
- If not, what is the appropriate course of action here ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm from South Africa and my carrier is Cell C.
Thanks.
Sure there should be a website to check if a phone is imei blocked. If so its an expensive paperweight...that is it.
Keep it legal.

If data connection is working then perhaps it's not a problem due to IMEI?
Could it be SMS setting error?
Because I have come across very same problem on a Galaxy Ace which phone call, data connection, all work except SMS can't receive and send...

OP would be very grateful for your advice,but could you follow it by yourself?
@OP: it seems to me that you have bought a phone from guy, who previously claimed it as stolen, or from the thief himself.
You have two options:
1. return the phone directly, kindly kicking his smartass;
2. return the phone via police claiming that you are the fraud victim.
