S3 too sleepy?;) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I have a s3 (gf using it) and she was complaining about the device with stock rom...no mods
So the problems I have no solutionfor:
Even the wifi\mobile data is always on...whenever the device screen is off even for five minutes, when someone sends a message for example on whatsapp... It is only after 5-10 is delivered...furthermore when someone calls her the display does not turn off for 2-5 seconds..
No energysavingmode nothing..
Any suggestion?
I just tried arhd 4.3 but still the same...can be kernel related? Its still the stock
Thanks

if you are from UK try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517781

Well unfortunately/fortunately I am not from the UK.
I will try tomorrow a different kernel, but I have had this with the old 4.1.2 software as well... So still no clue what could cause this and the delayed instant messages....
Thanks tho....

S-Voice: "No weather results, sorry"

Greetings!
This started this evening for me - I ask S-Voice, "What's the weather like outside?" and it spends some time thinking before returning with "No weather results, sorry"
Sometimes it returns with "Network error. Please try again"
When I ask about birthdates of my contacts, mathematical problems, weights and measures conversions and it responds correctly - unless it returns with "Network error. Please try again"
Is this happening to anyone else?
Thanks!
When i ask weather ..it gives same answer.. try using wifi instead of mobile data for avoidin network error
solution ?
Nyone having a solution for this ???
Same thing here. Maybe I need to update to the new software in order for it to work. "My device is version LF9"

yes I am facing the same problem as well, I updated to LFB via odin
I just got my S III today and I am having the same problem also.
Same issue for me too. Was working pretty good a couple of days ago, now - not so good. Tried it on 4g and wifi. No weather results and Network error.
Same here. I guess that is a problem on the server side, not on the client. Hope Samsung fix it soon.
Out of nowhere it's started to work again

Lol, same here. I thought it was a fluke, but it just started working fine for me too.
Awesome ..its working fine now.. it was the problem with galaxy server ..
Yes all good now , you would of thought Samsung would have made it state server update or something so u know it not your phone broken

[Q] SMS Problem

I usually don't ask questions. I solve them myself. Now I have a problem I don't know what to do. I can send SMS, use Mobile Data, make and receive calls, but I cannot receive messages. They don't show up. I am on the AT&T network. Everything worked until one night, it just stopped working. Couldn't get texts. Being a teenager, that is problematic for me XD. I have been to two AT&T stores (local and corporate). They wouldn't help me since it wasn't a branded AT&T phone. Wow. They take the money no questions asked. The part that confuses me is. I didn't do anything to my phone the night it stopped working. Anyone have any thoughts.
-Done so far= Flashed to stock, factory reset multiple times, checked message center #

So after a week same problem. Everything just stopped. This really pisses me off since I can't use my S3. I am back on my Captivate for the time being and it sucks now that I have experienced the S3. Anyone have any ideas what it is?

The only things I can think of is, have you got another messaging app messing things up, or in the messaging settings there's a spam settings, have you checked that?
Sorry if you have already checked these
Checked it and its off. I don't have or use anything but the stock SMS app.

I think as default the spam settings is on, at least mines on. Might be worth a try.
Also did you restore your old messages when you went back to stock, if so maybe try deleting all messages, clear data in app manager. Back up your messages before deleting though
Yeah i deleted everything. Flashed stock and tried. Nothing. It makes me mad that i cant use my phone.

just to clarify - the new sim card worked for a week or so on your S3 and stopped working. while the same sim card(with an adapter) works on your captivate ?
i want to figure out what's the source of your problem.
other thing - if i understand you correctly you went to AT&T to fix your phone. i suggest go to AT&T center or call their support cause every company has a number for checking sms transportation and see in what stage it failed. it's just sending a code to a certain number and you should get the desired info.
i really don't think it's a software problem
Here are the details. One night i noticed i wasnt getting text from a specific someone and it was weird. Within the next couple of days i went to AT&T store. Got a new micro sim for my S3, didnt work... Got a regular sim and put it into a old phone they had lying around and it worked. I then had them cut it down to micro sim and put it into my S3. Worked for about a week and stopped again. Got a new regular sim and put it into my Captivate and it worked. So im on that until i have it fixed.
Spam off
Sms center number right.

If I were you, I would try with another operator's sim card to figure out if the problem is on att network or the phone. Maybe get one of those pay-as-you-go/prepaid plans and try to receive an sms- if it works, then the problem is on att's network
Thanks i will see if one of my friends will let me.

When you put your sim in your Captivate did all the missed messages come through on the Captivate. If they did then I would say it's an issue on the S3, if not then it's probably an at&t issue
All of them came through yes. But why would it not work on the S3. And randomly? There was another guy on the forums that had the same problem.

Data connection issues (ATT)

I've noticed lately I'll be able to connect to data one minute and the next I don't.. even though I have full bars and the 4G icon is spewing its orange lines... only thing that fixes this is a reboot, then magically I have connection again.
I'm running stock 11c... anyone else have this issue?
My wife had the same problem a couple days ago. Our rom is stock 10o. At least this phone boots a lot faster than my old atrix.
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
I've experienced that as well. I'm currently using the ported stock Jelly Bean Rom and I have the 4GLTE symbol with the orange bars but when I try to load a YouTube video, it'll keep loading without showing the video. But when I reboot, it'll start it, but then when I want to watch another, it will just keep loading. I can still load up the Internet and the xda app but I can't watch videos.
Edit: So it's not that it won't load videos, it just takes a long time. I believe it's just not receiving LTE like is has before.

You may have tried this, since you mentioned the only thing that fixes the data connection is a reboot, but have you tried putting the phone in airplane mode and back again? That works for me when mine is stubbornly showing there's a data connection where nothing is happening.

I have done the airplane trick and that temporarily fixed my issues when I was on the stock rom. I also went in and got a new sim which seemed to help. I haven't noticed it as much since the new sim.

I've tried turning data on and off but that doesn't seem to work... haven't tried airplane mode yet.
I'm on 10o and I'm having the same issue with data. It is the radio because I've had this issue with other phones in the past and with them I had to flash different radios for a fix. Hopefully it will be fixed when they release the official JB for us Att users.

Weird huh? I'm going to try the new v2 of the rom and see if that might help. Fingers crossed.

I've got the same problem as well. Often times when I am in an area with full bars and I get the 4G LTE symbol, I get no data at all.
I'll chime in and say I have the same problem as well. It affects me both on WiFi and on HSPSA. I can only describe it as incredibly annoying.

Signal Problems and others

Hey guys, I'm getting an error code 65535 class 3 whenever I try to text, and a radio failed when I try to place a call. I'm running sense 5 (hatka) and I already confirmed that it's not the rom. Please help, I'm on a trip in new York so I really need this (this all randomly happened so I don't think I did this)

Make sure your on the right build (I.e gsm, global, etc.)

Yeah, I'm using the correct version. I checked and everything. Odd thing is that yesterday it was working just fine. I woke up this morning and my signal would drop in and out like crazy and I would go for about 3 minutes without signal before I'd get a bar (usually i have 3 to 5)
Here are some pictures (not sure if it would help or not)
(also I'm in New York on a trip so no laptop)

Either bad SIM (my first guess) or signal issues in the area (unlikely) hit up a store and swap out your SIM.

Re: Texting error
Hmm, I took out my sim and put it back in and it gave me full bars, I can get texts (rarely), and I can get very little Internet when connected (not wifi) I don't want to take my phone to Verizon because I'm running a custom rom and they'll see it and probably want to make me pay for a new one.

don't go by the bars....go by the dbm...whats that showing?
Re: Texting error
I'd run an RUU and see what it does, don't sweat the bars and if that doesn't fix it just give it a day or two. You can always run the RUU can call verizon and have them send you another SIM card.

When it spiked
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
According to both Verizon and HTC, there was a known issue with the phone software and not being able to read the SIM card. It happened to mine about ten times every week until an update was released to supposedly fix it in February. I still get the error from time to time, but far less than I did previously. If you've rooted and flashed a ROM prior to February, I would suggest making a backup and restoring the phone back to stock. Once you've done this, do the update to the new firmware and then reroot and restore from your backup. This should, I think, fix most SIM issues.

Huge problem!! [Solved]

So the past two days I have used my old galaxy nexus to play around with aosp again. Yesterday I put my SIM back into my DNA and I can't get 4g. I have installed different kernels, wiped EVERYTHING, refitted the SIM 1000 times and still nothing. Guess what? 4g works fine on the nexus. Also, when using an app that allows me to access the phone info screen, lte only option gives me 4g with no hiccups. But when I change back to anything else I can't get 4g.
New SIM?
I saw an old thread about it but not many answers.
EDIT: new SIM fixed it.

Thanks for sharing. I literally just did the same thing. I guess I'll be going to get a new sim today.
Will this happen every time I use my nexus?

Could either one of you guys tell me if phone calls caused com.android.phone to force close when making a call or when an incoming call pings the device.

On which device? And before or after new SIM? I never had it on my nexus although I recall having it on my DNA but only on sense 5 and I don't think it happened during my "Coruppted SIM" moment.
