[Q] Network Stuck at 'H' and never drops down to 3G - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I did some searches on this and I can't find anything on this.
I've just noticed that my phone is stuck on 'H' signal, it can scale up to H+ as normal but as soon as the data has finished transmitting it will go back to 3G for a split second before returning to H and staying there. This has happened for a few days. I've noticed that my phone is getting unbearably hot (with a UV CPU and GPU, fully tested, stable) and my battery life is awful.
I've now gone back to a completely stock system, ODIN reflashed the GMK6 update (stock recovery, kernel, modem and ROM - ROM was always stock anyway) and the problem still persists.
I'm going to phone my network in the morning to see if they've done anything in the area or if anyone else is reporting the issue but has anyone else ever witnessed symptoms like this?
More background: I've recently tried ArchiPort 4.4 before going back to stock and I've been using the Devil2 kernel for more than 9 months. In the UK on the Three network, which is 3G only, no 2G.

Strong 4G but weak LTE signal

Does anyone else experience this or know how to fix it?
I get weak LTE most of the time (2 bars)but when i do HSPA only for 4G, it gives me full bars. I also get network/modem freezing where i have to restart the data connection to get signal back.
Running stock gb and stock kernal, rooted with dag kernal and running cwm base recovery.

Yeah, I see the same thing. Manually turning data on/off seems to work for me.
-Edit-
What I mean, is that manually turning data on/off seems to reset to LTE. It's not an acceptable fix, I know, but it gets the job done for now.
yeah same here i'm on rogers and when i enable LTE i get 2 bars and as soon as i put gsm/hspa auto mode boom 5 bars. i called rogers and they told me to factory reset my phone, i did helped but a couple of weeks later same problem. i don't want to have to factory rest my phone every couple of weeks... they also told me if the problem persists to send it to repair. it's a brand new phone! and it seems like i'm not the only one witht his problem so. anyway the ics update should come out this month and hopefully it will get rid of this problem.

Signal Strength Issues

I've been having a lot of issues today with my signal strength dropping to where it's become unusable. I have an AT&T US Atrix 4G. The signal strength is normally very strong, and is now barely showing 1 bar in and out. I'm also have data issues where I can not connect to HSPA normally.
I did update to the leaked ICS last night, and have reflashed and wiped several times. Since then, I have went back to GB 4.5.91. I am still having the problem back on GB. I'm using radio 37P.
One thing that I originally did not think had any bearing on this issue was I did hurl the phone across the room this morning (landed on carpet) as my phone kept rebooting during calls on me. I opened up the phone to see if anything was noticeably disconnected and it looks like the cord is still okay.
Is there anything else besides the radio that could be causing me the grief? Anything that I can try besides erasing the radio and re-flashing? Anything with any settings? APN settings? I reset the APN settings to default and I see the 4 AT&T APNs load.
Thanks in advance.
Also wondering if there would be any use in me changing the kernel.
Any suggestions?
Not to pester anyone who may have advice, but just wondering if this Atrix (which is running well other then then having an incredibly weak signal for mobile networks) is ready for the trash.
Please do not bump your thread superfluously. Thanks!

[Q] Note keeps roaming?? AT&T note, using on T-mobile Padawan6/T989UVLC8

Weird problem with my note. It will randomly start roaming and lose data connection. This is extremely often, like every few minutes when I'm using data. I have Padawan 6 and the T989UVLC8 radio. Data roaming is turned off. Am I doing something wrong or need to find a different combination, anyone else having a roaming problem on T-Mobile? Thanks.
Well fixed my own problem. Flashed the SGH-I717-UCLF6BS ROM along with the Official TMo ICS RADIO_NOTE baseband and it's all running like butter. Solid 4G, doesn't roam and data picks up quick from idle. Will report if anything weird happens.

LTE issues with CM 11

I've been having an issue with my LTE connectivity and was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same problem with their XT912 running CM 11-20140304. When I reboot my phone LTE works fine and doesn’t drop out, my network connection is pretty stable. However when I turn the data switch off to save battery, LTE will never reconnect and I have to reboot the phone to bring it back. I’ve tried connecting just to LTE and it kills all connection both data and cell service.
I've tried the following in hopes of correcting the issue. I booted into stock rom, wiped Dalvik+cache, got LTE connection on the stock rom, and booted back to CM 11 and the issue presisted. I then updated to CM 11-20140304 thinking that might do something, but it didn't. I been looking around and so far I haven't found much info, any ideas?

[Q] Dna loses mobile signal and wont sleep

Having this strange issue now for a while. Phone will operate normally 75% of the time when i hit the power button, but the other 25% it seems that the screen will turn off and then it will fail to go to deep sleep and loses mobile signal. Once it does this it drains the battery very rapidly like 8% and hour so suddenly in 4-5 hours i might have lost all my days remaining charge. If i catch it in time, only way I can get network signal to come back is to reboot the phone. I just got a replacement sim tray from htc, and a new sim from VZW and that hasn't fixed the issue. I've tried flashing the latest RUU and that hasn't helped. Issue persists no matter what os version I am using. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I was having network/battery drain issues last week. Under network settings I changed from global to LTE/CDMA mode and things seem better so far.

I am currently on my fourth DNA, each one of them having issues with the mobile data went into "Disconnected" stage regardless weather its on CDMA/LTE or global. Switching it on / off to airplane mode didn't help either. I just finally move to custom ROM (CM12 Lollipop 5.0.2) on the weekend. It seems to be better now. The LTE speed still sucks though as compared to another phone next to me.
Hmm. Not sure if anything changes, but after a reboot last night of ROM CM 12 5.0.2 unofficial, today my LTE speed tests have been averaging over 15mb download. I'm on this ROM for 5 days now.
