So I gave this phone to my mother a while back. It was working fine for a while, but when she said it was slowing down a little I decided to update her rom to something a little newer.
She was previously on a 4.1 version of AOKP, about a month or so ago, I updated to the newest 4.2 version of AOKP.
When I did this, she started having problems with her mobile data going out. She works in an area with bad service, and she would leave work and go to make a call, and she would get a mobile network unavailable error message and the phone would be unusable until she rebooted. This would happen about once every 1 or 2 days. It was especially annoying because if people tried to reach her - they wouldnt even get a ring on their end.
Another thing I noticed is that her phone memory is completely full even though there is barely anything installed. I put just the essentials on there, and she doesn't install anything. Heres what her phone looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
No idea what happened or why its doing this. (the storage issue)
As for the mobile network going out - I have had this problem in the past, and im not sure how I solved it other than just keep flashing roms. Could it possibly be a wrong radio flashed? We're located in CT, US if any specific radio is recommended.
I should also point out - After flashing to 4.2 AOKP and seeing these issues - i flashed to slim beans newest rom - and the same exact issues kept happening.
Please let me know anything I can do to try and fix this. Id like to do it as quickly as possible since I dont live with my mother - so i dont have a lot of time to mess around with her phone - she just needs something that works.
I would flash it to latest bare bone stock rom using Odin.

when you say barebones stock - are you referring to the an ATT stock rom, or an AOSP stock rom?
I777ucmd8 AT&T stock. 4.1.2

about the space issue, there are 2 solutions. you can simply flash another rom ( i took this one since i feel like stock is too clunky). or you have o be rooted, and then you have to go into terminal and do some things, keep looking around it's some thread with a link.
as for the signal issue, modem uck666 (or something like that, it has 'k's and '6's) worked for me.

Try changing kernels.
Okay, I will try the LP6 Kernel in the latest CM9 Build.
/edit: Okay, it's the LPB Kernel?

Ya, the LPB kernel has some issues from what I heard including: battery, touch screen and some other minor issues, i'd recommend everyone to stick with LP6 kernel for now
The kernel is the heart of you phones firmware.Thats why when you flash the wrong one you brick your phone.By changing it you can fix things that you thought had nothing to do with it.People think thats it only a kernel,just another part of the firmware but its probably the most valuable when it comes to how your phone functions.
I have sam e problem so it's most likely bug. But I guess you can live without rebooting too much

i had that kind of behaviour even on stock rom and kernel. still happens from time to time, never figured out why. not as drastic though (most of the time)
you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312273&page=16
it worked for e when i had a similar problem

This can still happen on a stock ROM if the stock kernel is corrupt.It can be fixed by reflashing the kernel or firmware.
Glad to hear that I'm not the only one with that Problem.
Now I have the LP6 Kernel. It's better...
@shumo: I'll check your link If I will be online with my PC.
@makrilli: Yeah, but sometimes the CM9 ROM is crashing or freezing, so I have to reboot...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App - Sorry for bad english
I have looked everywhere for an answer but have found nothing. I can use my phone just fine until it completely freezes. I am left with no option but to take the battery out and restart and come back to a low battery that went from roughly 80% to 10%. I have no clue what to do. I'm not sure if i need to wipe and format. Can anyone give me some advice? If it's a case of having to wipe, can I have details on how to do this without losing information?
Thanks
Attached is my phone system info:

i think you have the original firmware, try to install the newest firmware LSJ you can get this at sammobile.com or you can choose a custom rom which you can find here

Yeah, you're on an official rom, and since you don't know what it means, I assume you don't underclock (UC) and/or undervolt (UV)
Ever considered rooting and flashing a custom rom? Or, like stated above me, flash some other official firmware through Odin to see if the problems still excist (except someone else has another sollution).

There's a thread about that from a while back. Google for it, the cure is there.
i found alot of threads. did the same thing. :/.
The usual remedy is return to at&t stock ICS and LF6 modem, set up the phone, then flash the Blaze or Skyrocket modem, then go on to the next rom you want.
Whatever rom you just flashed doesn't have the t-mobile ril and library files in the system.

You could try the LG3 modem in the first post before you return to stock.

Remember to reboot and check for correct APN values.
Mine is absolutely fine with ics blaze and im getting 4g. Did you try loading touchwiz dialer and entering *#2263# and hit automatic. See what that does if still nothing that still odin i guess...

i tried to follow the guide for restoring back to default. failed.
installed padawan again. got it to send a few mms.
installed jellybeer and got service but still no data connection
Try flashing a t-mobile modem.
put flasppjaxxs aosp on and everything i working fine
I don't know if this'll help you any, since I'm on at&t, but you might as well try.
I had the same problem a while back. I ended up going to settings - > wireless and networks - > more - > mobile networks and playing with the settings. It turned out I had the wrong apn.
I am going nuts here I have been searching all over the net and I still have not been able to fix this problem, so I am sorry if this seems like a repeated thread.
I have a Tmobile rooted Samsung Galaxy S III, I was running a nightly Cyanogenmod 10 ROM. Yesterday there was an update for that rom and I downloaded it and installed it, everything was fine and running smoothly until some people started telling me that they were not able to reach me by phone. I tried checking what was wrong and I finally realized that whenever I have my mobile data on or while I am using it I don't receive voice calls. I tried looking everywhere for a way to fix this and I came across the ##DATA# code in which I could turn off the DDTM option but unfortunately my phone doesn't recognize that code.

this is the message I get every time I try to enter ##3282# code.
I thought that maybe something was wrong with the ROM itself so i decided to browse around here for one for my Tmobile samsung galaxy S 3 and I decided to install this one [ROM][4.2.2][RC1] LiquidSmooth ROMs - d2tmo - 2|14|13
after wiping data/cache and dalvik cache I installed this ROM and this is my current phone info
and still when I am using my mobile data I cant receive calls nor put the ##DATA# code to turn off DDTM.
is there any other way I could access that DDTM option? I am so frustrated or maybe I am doing something wrong.. I do admit I am no pro at this.
Please if any of you could help me I will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Wrong forum, mate. Ask in the T-Mobile S3 forum. This is for GT-I9300 International S3, not the T-Mobile variant. Anything suggestions you get here might brick your phone. Good luck!
For the record, even I couldn't access the ##DATA# code in GT-I9300.

What version is this ? CM 10.1 ?
There is no stable build out yet, so you might want to report these issues in a CM 10.1 nightly specific thread.
Nightly builds are prone to have issues. That's why they are not called stable

Not likely. Most Samsung devices that have 4.3 or above have a newer bootloader that does not allow downgrading. Attempting to do so could easily brick your device. Best case scenario, a soft brick. Worst case, a hard brick. It's possible that you could run a custom 4.2.2. rom as that will not mess with the bootloader, but sometimes there are issues with mixing and matching OSes and modem versions. Why would you want to downgrade anyway?
Ever since the software update forced itself to download ive had nothing but problems. I could be in my music player and it will randomly stop or change songs. Ot doesnt matter what app im in i have issues with it. My biggest problem with it is the fact that not only has my battery life been cut in half, it also avts lile it doesnt want to charge. All this started after the software update. Honestly id rather root it but im still waiting cf autoroot for it to be available. I love this phone just dont like the software update. Any suggestions?

Over the air updates can cause issues like that if you don't reset the phone. They (the manufacturers) of course would never tell you that, but I work in a cell repair shop and I do software mods and unlocks for a side job/hobby as well as hang out on XDA all the time and see it constantly. It's the same for them all, even Apple devices. I'm not saying that OTAs WILL cause issues, but it's certainly more of a contributing factor to issues like these vs resetting the phone before the update or update completely via the computer., especially when making complete OS version jumps.
Is it possible to manually reinstall the os update?
