[Q] HELP! S3 WiFi Weird Problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everyone on XDA, i need some help with my WiFi.. (S3 I9300)
my WiFi is always full bar when i'm near the router or either far from it.
the problem is my S3 only work to access internet if i go near the router (0.5 meter range)
and if i go a bit further(2-3 meters away) which is still full bar my S3 wont be able to access internet anymore..
and i checked on my other device which all working just fine with the router.. so it is not my router problem..
so, anyone else having the same problem? how do i fix this unique problem.? ( cant find in google for solution )
note: i already disabled wifi power savings *#0011# and nothing changed still same problem occurring.

we are in indonesia and you in malaysia haven't get the latest update, if you want we can use the latest modem from germany..
basically to instal modem is just put it in your external sd card and then flash it with philz_recovery or via odin

not always, but base on my experience mostly it because you had dirty flash without cleaning wipe at first flashing or if you have weak signal it because the modem not base on our region.

Good move Just make sure you backup everything and i mean everything efs data rom etc please also read the guides in the stickies if you have not done this before.

best kernel for i-9300 is the latest boeffla kernel dude, you can get it here http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/sgs3/boeffla-kernel/Test_jb43/
pick 5.4 beta 3, almost perfect for me, very fast and stable :good:

Most likely then it could be hardware related especially if it was working before.Have you tried on someone else's router to see if it connects ok to theirs? Have you tried changing router channels?

i tried all sorts of modem from the modem collection page here on xda
those modems used to work when i had a different rom but still, is there a way maybe to extract the modem from the ZIP file of miui rom ?
i tried searching modem.bin inside the miui zip file but theres none.
if theres no modem.bin file in it then does that means it uses the existing modem ?
if so then il need to revert back to the rom i had before miui ? or just revert to stock rom ?
ive flashed stock rom and still nothing
also, on mobile networks menu i cannot see any networks to choose from

Network Problem

Hello people.
So heres the deal,
I got an Samsung Galaxy s2 (handheld,not blacklisted) from Ireland,from a friend.I dont know which carrier he used there,but the phone worked.
Now it is become weird,I want to use an Latvian sim card,out it in,but it can not connect to service provider,checked wit galaxsim app,no locks are present at all.Then I tried rom flashing,did some stock 4.0.3,4.1.2 and nothing,tried cyanogenmod,nothing,returned to stock 4.1.2.
Rooted the phone,busybox present,checked with several apps again,no locks,but neither does it connect to any Latvian networks.
I got an Estonian sim card,so for an experiment,I inserted it,and guess what,it connected to the network and i could make a call,send sms etc.
So im confused what is with this crappy S2,that he doesnt like latvian networks,but accepts simcards anyway.
Any Ideas to fix it so it does connect to all networks?
Thx in advance.
Have you tried installing a new modem? You can also try hawkerpauls nuke, maybe it has something to do with your friends modifications. Also, search any problems related to Latvian networks, maybe it's a known problem.

hmmm well then i'd say that another modem also didn't work, right? as cm has another ril as stock, and modems get flashed when you flash a stock firmware... well were the stock fw's you flashed sock odexed ones from your country/operator?

The network problem is still there.
Is there any other way to rectify this.
Actually in my other phone while searching networks
almost all service providers r showing. But in mega
Only 3 r listing. Bsnl,airtel,spice....earlier before the problem starts mega
also was able to show all providers.
Also I want to ask some doubts abt slimkat.
1. While making calls screen goes off. In stock ROM some
option was there to change.
2. While setting wallpaper it will show properly. After some
time the wallpaper will zoom somewhat.
Anything to correct...

[Q] Any good kernel for all gsm bands in Poland/ EU please hep

Hello,
I have tried lot of different ROMS and Kernels and patches etc. I haven;t copied anything from my original native ROM from GSM operator.
I suppose that I have problems with signal as I have low signal level in big city, I also have problems with 3g internet network.
What should I check/ override ? I think that kernel ? Is that anyone could link me propper kernel for use in Poland? If not kernel any other package - as I remember in old, Windows Mobile devices that was something called 'RADIO'
I also have problems with random restarts, no signalling of incoming calls, random switches to plane mode and battery drain.
Please help...
