Seriously, I'm nearly at the end of my tether with this phone. It always shows no signal on the status bar, however the network name shows up. Everytime I try to make a call, it always says 'moblie network not available'. SO far I've tried..
Using a different simcard - No difference
Changing the baseband - tried 6 different ones, no avail
Writing new firmware with odin - three differnt ones, no show
Firmwares with CWM - nothing happens at all
I really have no idea what to do anymore. I'm almost close to running over this pile of excrement with my car.
I went through this with CM7 for a while, it would work for a week or two then then for no reason lose the signal. I ended up going back to stock ROM's. Did you lose your imei?

Sounds like it needs to be repaired. This sounds like a hardware issue - modem or antenna must have gone.

I thought it just me....
I have the same problem. some times, ace show no signal, I can not sent sms or make a phone call, but I can access internet data. wierd...
I thought it just my provider anomaly...
I don't think it matters now. It's just decided to die on me and it won't turn back on. I'll have to open a dispute with the seller on ebay and get a refund. I was looking forward to using this phone for personal use as well as business, and it's just been an entire waste of time.
Sorry to hear...

So guys, I lost my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 inside my house somewhere and I cannot find it. I know the GPS is on and the device is on with little battery. Is there any way I can find it? My Google account is on it so is there anyway I can find it with GPS? BTW, I do not have any texting apps on it. Any help? Thanks

You should call on police, and tell them, you have got a drags, they will give you hard revision!! And you will get your desired sgp!!
Have you turned on wifi before you lost?

Use your router to locate him, there should be singals of all devices connected to the router, so, you can easily locate SGP5

You can't use GPS to find it considering the accuracy probably spans the entirety of your home. You may be able to locate it with wireless information from your router. I'd hurry though in the case that your battery drains quickly with WiFi always on.
Worst case, you'll come across it while cleaning or just retrace your steps to when you last had it.
Well guys, I found it using using the Plan B app from Lookout Security. It connected to my Google account and found where the location was in my house. Any suggestions on how I can be prepared next time? Like a backup GPS?

you can get a communicator like skype, parlingo etc. and if you lost again, you will be able to locate SGP with one call/massage to SGP.
you cant use GPS, coz accuracy of GPS is nearly of 15m-10m,
you can use also a spectrum analyser or a wifi device with monitor mode on, but the first cost ~600$, the second is hard to do, those two need to have wifi turned on SGP.
A couple of options:
You could install skype, or some other app that lets you receive calls, messages, or whatever over wi-fi. Configure the app with an audible alert when a call is received, and then just call your player when you lose it.
Configure the email client to play an alert sound when a new email is received, and email yourself when you need to find your phone
Download google voice and get a free phone number you can text from your computer or phone. Couple it with groove ip app and you have a free wi fi phone service. I use it all the time.
OK, Thanks Guys!

I know it's bad form to resurrect old threads, but I noticed an app on Google Play apparently made for this exact situation. it's called "Wheres My Droid" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alienmanfc6.wheresmyandroid)
install app androidlost....it is not using any memory because its using google account and app after first time doesnt need to be even started as any process normal or background...and then go to www.androidlost.com ..log with your google id and you can do what ever comes to your mind with device remotely.I find my phone and tablet with that 10 times by now or scare my friend who use it because you can even play police siren remotey on device.And this free app is also awsome for spying your girlfriend if she has android phone..mine have no idea that i read all here messages and now who calls here and who she calls..but for now she is good girl

Two is your IMEI correct .
Three is your sim working#
Four have you checked your network settings
Five have you the correct modem.

I don't know if you tried to pull out the simcard and clean the contacts. This was a common issue on the HTC Desire HD and this little fix worked fine.

Is the phone new? Has it ever worked for you? Have you considered the fact that it could be network locked(SIM locked)?
My phone ALWAYS shows "Not registered on Network" when I'm at home, that's because signal is terrible since I updated to JB (modem related).
Have you tried different SIMs from different networks? Have you tried your current SIM in a different phone?
[the phone is from 29 june..always worked bit one day data stopped working.. i got a HTC sensation and the SIM works fine in that phone/SIZE]

Ok,
so here comes the question my girlfriend always asks me :laugh:
"What did you do between it working, and it no longer working?"
You say data doesn't work, does that mean you can make phone calls?
I didnt do anything it just stopped working and i cant do phone calls...its like using an iPod.. maybe someone blocked my imei?could it be possible?

Yes, it's entirely possible, but you'll need to check with your provider. There is no way of checking from the device itself if the IMEI has been blocked.
Did you buy the phone new?
You could, potentially, be extremely unlucky and someone blocked the wrong IMEI code when attempting to block their own.
Ye it was new..there is no way to make it work then?

Well, if it really has been blocked, you should get in touch with your provider, and potentially have to go through some lengthy process of proving to them you legitimately own the device and didn't block it yourself. It's unlikely though, as I've never heard of a device being removed from the block list before.
Your other option is to leave the country, it will work in another country
Failing that, return it to Samsung telling them it just stopping working, you did nothing, and insist they replace it.

Hi guys
I have tried in many occasions to use utorrent plus other clients in my S3 and can seek to get a single download to start, they all are stick at 0%
Thought maybe it was to do with the port perhaps its alport 6882 but I don't know what to change this to or how to forward the port to my s3 IP address.
Can someone let me know what to do to get this working?
Thanks in advance

Usually you have to forward ports on your router. Google how to forward ports and you will know

port forwarding is not setup on a laptop or phone (at least not only). You have to open the port on your router, assign, if possible, fixed IPs to your laptop as well as phone and then it should work. some routers also allow you to reserve a certain IP address for a certain end user (e.g. laptop or phone) which will help you if you do not want to give fixed IPs but use DHCP (the way I do it)
Is there a guide somewhere for that asi have no idea how to open a port on my router

For 3G you do not need to open anything as it depends on your provider. For your router there is one website that describes the process for nearly all routers, but I forgot the name.
Portforward.com maybe yes, or Google your routers name and open port

Sorry guys but have got nowhere with this....
Can anyone who has utorrent or ttorrent or any of these torrent apps say what they did from install to 1st torrent to get it working?
I assume that over 3G I shouldnt need to tweak anything yet downloading does absolutely nothing. Over WiFi I get the same.
I can pick up most things but really don't get port forwarding and not even sure that is the problem. I would love to be able to use torrent apps but I just dont know how.
I can get utorrent working on pc fine but googling and trial and error but I'm getting no where on my S3.
Can I get a little help?

essentially after searching YouTube,Google, of course here, friends etc....no help in finding an answer to "searching for gps" continuously.
so currently im backing up my app data to my box and going to try a factory reset
but I keep thinking maybe theres a better app out there?
any ideas?
Changing the app isn't going to fix the issue if you can't get a good GPS lock. You're on the right path restoring the phone.
To test the GPS though and speed up locking you can get GPS status and tool box.

What is "EFS"?
thats funny.....Lg says its my providers problem...i am rooted and unlocked but stock rom stock everything....
I sent LG an email saying:
My issue is that even with perfect 4g LTE Reception my GPS tracks me perfectly which is awesome, however when I'm on the move(usually driving) and I'm using the device as a navigation unit, it constantly "searches for signal" . The device will not track my moving location at all. I did do a factory reset and I've recovered my data with the exception of my location settings( thinking something in the old settings is wrong causing the issue). I'm using both Google maps default app and mapquest, I'm using both because Google says its navigation feature is still in beta development.
They replied:
From the description of the navigation problem, it would seem that your network service is not providing the correct data in the signal to allow tracking operations. This is seen in the fact of having the same problems with both versions of the GPS apps on the phone. If only one of the apps had the problem, then it would have been possible for the phone to be the problem. Finally, for the physical differences between these phones, there is a very minor difference in the size of the casing. Hopefully this answers your questions. If you have further inquiries, please feel free to contact our Wireless Customer Interactive Center at 800-793-8896. ^NE
