Hiya all,
I recently (yesterday) updated my S3 to Jelly Bean via Kies. I'm in UK so we kinda got it late.
Since then however, the Wifi is being a right *****. It keeps dropping and then few seconds go by, reconnects, then a minute goes, then repeats the cycle of hell! I've made sure the power saving mode for Wifi is off by dialling #*0011*.
WTF do I do?
Thanks.
Backup data and factory reset .

Factory reset does not help here. I wipe as a matter of updating the OS (old Windows tech habits) and in-fact it has gotten worse recently. I'd not noticed any problem in the first week but now I see it reconnecting frequently while in use. Often pick it up from the desk to see it wasting my cell data.
It seems to be a known issue, that helps, but not a lot of info so I'll bump this with a reply. Anyone know any more yet? Totally stock system here.
Hi Folks
So i have this Wifi problems, connected to a wifi i can surf and then after a few minutes nothing works, cant surf, cant check my mails. i have to reconnect to the wifi and it will work for the next couple of hours...

I also have this problem after upgrading to Jelly Bean. It completely drops for no apparent reason even though it's still says connected and signal is good. I then need to turn the WiFi off then back on to get it working again. I need help getting this problem fixed as soon as possible or I will end up downgrading back to ICS.

Back to the topic, I have the same prob, works after diconnecting/reconnecting, annoying but u get use to it & not that big of a deal IMO, but granted that considering the device's price one shouldn't have to fiddle with it to get that kind of basic option to fully function.

This is a carrier issue that you are experiencing. It can be corrected relatively easy.
If you do not have root access, then root with CF-Root and perform the said modifications and then Un-Root your phone. Simple
So after flashing Cookies and Cream 4.1.2 and working fine for a few days, Calling and texting stopped working. I flashed an ICS Rom and it worked again, for 1 call. Midway the call dropped and everything stopped working again. Phone still gets signal, data works and everything else too. I clean flashed 3 different stock ICS roms with TWRP, nothing is working. Any ideas as to what could have happened?? Im thinking I can only fix it by flashing stock image with ODIN, but im curious as to what could have gone wrong. Im thinking maybe the IMEI got screwed up?? But the symptoms dont really seem like that would be the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

That's what I would do...then take it back for warranty repair. Extremely unlikely any ROMS caused this problem.

It sounds like you have a modem that isn't compatible. Many times it will still catch a strong signal, but your sound, if there is any, will be garbled. I would try flashing a couple of different ones and make a test call with each to find what you like and works.

I've got 2 I717 with that problem, good signal 'Not Registered On Network'. I think it's a hardware issue. I've seen more than a few posts about it now. I've tried everything to correct this, I have a good IMEI.

I am having similar problems and after weeks of flashing (ROMS and modems) to no avail, I am going to take my phone in and get a refurb.
I would reflash a stock ROM with Odin, then flash a custom ROM of your choice and the radio(s) that work for your carrier and check the APN setting. If none of that helps, it may more than likely be a hardware issue and would need to be fixed.
Depending on your carrier you can just warranty your phone as a hardware problem. If they refuse because you flash your phone I have yet to hear of Samsung refusing service or warranty because of it. My note stopped working and I have flashed tons of modems & roms, no questions asked it was fixed and back in my hands in 5 working days.

AT&T's Device Support Center(s) can replace your phone on the spot so long as you're within warranty and they can duplicate the issue after a factory reset/OS flash.
wasnt this version released February 2012? Then shouldnt any i717 qualify under the Samsung 1 year warranty. I'm having the same problem with mine while trying to connect to Mobilicity in Canada. Doesnt help that it drops the Wifi connection every now and again for no reason.

Warranties don't start the second the device comes off the assembly line.
The warranty goes into effect on the date purchased, so yes every single I717 falls under the oem warranty.

Good grief, I was speaking in general terms. AT&T's MDS terms apply to any phone you buy from them.
I've had issues where voice has been lost and nothing can fix it except a reflash. Happens on my sII and the gnote. Luckily I'm able to fix it but I'd rather it never happen.
As the title suggests, suddenly I started getting force closes with com.android.phone when I'd receive a call. I immediately tried to call out, same story. I've been troubleshooting for the past few hours, and had no luck finding anything relevant on XDA or any other site.
Firstly I switched kernels, since I'd updated to DSB's latest, though I'd had no issues with it until then. That failed, so I reverted to Viper's stock build.prop, undoing some changed I'd been running for a while (and hadn't modified at all today).
With no luck there, I backed up my sdcard and did a full factory reset and formatted the sdcard in twrp and then in cwm, followed by a reinstall of the latest Viper ROM. Even that didn't work, so I relocked and RUU'd back. Twice. Same exact issue. I can text anyone just fine, data over LTE goes on as normal, but anytime I try to make a call, be it with the stock dialer or through a diff one from the play store (for kicks, last resort). I reseated the SIM card a multitude of times, to no avail. I get full functionality with my SIM in my other phone, so I'm sure it must be the hardware itself on the phone. Every time com.android.phone stops, the SIM initialization happens like when you physically re-seat the SIM.
The troubling thing is that I haven't done anything, save for a simple kernel and recovery update, which would've been negated by two RUU runs to stock. I haven't touched the SIM card or anything, at least until that started happening. Furthermore confusing is how all other functionality can remain except for actually making phone calls.
Removing the SIM entirely and dialing a number does the exact same thing, just as an FYI.
Has anyone seen this? Any ideas?
As I've unlocked my phone, my last resort is to go into a VZW store and act like an idiot so they don't check to see if i unlocked it. Further complicating that is the fact that the DNA was actually purchased on my own account, which I closed, and brought to an unlimited data line that was preexisting. I'm half tempted to wait for the official OTA and see if that will remedy the issue, but my fear is this may be a physical issue beyond the remedy of a firmware update.

Check this thread, me and another member faced the same problem. I can get 3g/2g data, sms and all other functions just right. Just no phonecalls, every time i make a call i get a crash of the app.
So, i am pretty sure this is a software bug. For god's sake, what a strange problem!Did your phone used to work right?
I bought my phone from ebay, did not check if phonecalls are working(i couldn't imagine such a bug) and went straight away to rooting/other kernels/roms etc. But can't find a solution too,tried everything as you, and the worst, i am overseas!!!
Is the update coming soon?
edit1: i have seen lots of threads about sim errors,a very common issue of DNA, i am believing that these two bugs have something in common. No hardware defect, just software bugs.

thanks for the thread, for the life of me i couldn't find anything exactly relating to what i described. that is spot on though, and def makes me feel a bit more at ease that maybe it can be resolved with an update to the firmware that's due soon.
yea, the funny thing is that it worked flawlessly, i never even got the SIM error message, i'd been texting my gf, a few friends, and my parents and then my pops called in the evening and it immediately closed out the call before it really even rang. i called him right back and that's when the force closes started happening, calls never working agian thereafter. however, i was able to still text everyone i was before and data was working flawlessly as always, just no calls, not even after all the crap i did to troubleshoot.
the update is hopefully going to be out soon. the support documents came out a few days ago. i def can't survive on this galaxy nexus after having used my DNA since launch!
I will wait for the update too, hopefully it will be uploaded today or tomorrow i think. But just because i can't get on the air update, i need to download from a server the update and install it on my own.
If anyone finds a solution or have an idea of what to look/do, please post here. I am pretty sure it is a software bug, something is stucking the application from working properly. The other solution is RMA, but it is a very difficult to send it back and get it back again.

OP, can you test this one to see if you get a fix?Thanks!!!
Ok, I had the same exact issue. I was stock then went to viper Dna then tried going to hatka and soft bricked my phone. I went back to stock using the RUU. That's when I got the com. Android. Phone crash message. So I had to re unlock reboot and then flash viper Dna again. Everything works as it should now.
After saying all that I just got the new update from Verizon. I assume I shouldn't flash this since I'm on a custom rom.

Hi guys i got a similar problem. My DNA was perfect since yesterday but now i can use data connection for internet. All the other stuff is working fine....SMS,call, wifi, the only thing that is not working is the 3g data. All of this problem came when i flashed the viper DNA, so i flashed the supercharged hoping it was an issue of the rom. Olso with the supercharged the problem was always here.... So i decide to came back to stock and i re-lock my bootloader and flasched stock RUU. But data connection is still not working :crying:
can anyone please tell me what can i do?
Did you install patches 1.1.1& 1.1.2 from viper?They fix some gsm problems.

Has any one figured out this problem? I have not been able to received any phone calls since I did s-off. I have tried everything that has been wrote so with no luck. I have relocked my phone and flashed stock RUU no change. Unlocked and tried several roms still no calls. formatted everything under CWM not change. Fixed permissions. Went back and re-locked and reflashed stock RUU. I know that some of the things above have fixed others phones and some still have problems. I also found a script someone wrote lock my phone which now it says locked and flashed stock rom after that still have problem. Does anyone here here a idea that I have not already mentione above? I like my droid dna but if I can't get it to make and take calls it is a paperweight.:crying:

When having a call there's absolutelly no sound coming from the speaker and the other side can't hear anything either.
After reboot everything works fine for a while (maybe even days).
It's already a second phone with the same issue.
No root, no hack, no system update done.
System reset doesn't help.
Any ideas what could it be pls? Faulty machine, second in a row?

Ok so i flashed jb kdz and then updated to kk. Its been 5 days and i havent had no sound problem. So there is a problem with flashable zips in some regions.
I am not familiar with abbreviations so please explain. I have same issue. The issue appears when I have data on, perhaps. I have 4.4.2 version and the problem is frustrating. Should I go back to a previous version, and how please? Also I have install the VUTALK disabling soft that comes from LG, somehow it felt it was causing all that. I will push it with several calls to verify it's ok...
Does anyone have any settings to apply that may resolve the issue?
Does LG give a response to the issue??
Thanks
ps. btw I'm in Greece with Vodafone

Is this happening after camera failed to initialize? I think it is some bug in KK .
I have problem also with quiet mode. It won't go if wi-fi is on.
I am thinking to go back to JB 4.1.2 but not sure how.

so i send my phone about 10 days ago to service. They returned it saying it's fixed and tested. They have changed my ROM version from 20b to 20c-220-03. The phone worked fine, and I did not have problems with calls until today. I read your post and I remember that I accidentally open my camera today and it said "failed to initialize". After that the call problem appeared again. Now I forced my camera couple times until showed the same thing, and immediately tried to call my home number and here we go, call problem. It would be sooo nice if they could just fix this goddamn error which frustrates me a lot.
It's a stock zip bug, blame it on LG, try flashing 20d haven't had a problem with it, but I'll be using cm11 soon, which I think is much better. Cheers
Sent from my LG-D605 using XDA Free mobile app
I sent the phone to the service and guess what?
LG service centre is saying it's damaged and can't be repaired as they do not have the necessary spare parts.
So I'm getting my money back... hopefully...
No problem with calls nor messages anymore
I do not encounter this problem anymore. It might be that some automatic update has resolved it. I am currently using Android 4.4.3, build KOT49.D60520g.
By the way, I do not know about any lost text messages anymore (another issue of this phone) - - also ghostly SMS does not reveal any messages that would be lost without the app. But I try to keep the memory not full as well.
Random reboots
Sometimes it reboots randomly.
Do more people have this problem?
I did a Factory reset by the way
None until now. About a month in with the device.
Same here. Reboots and random app crashes.

no i was on stock when i bought it and moved to a custom rom a few weeks ago and on my Verizon Edge i can not recall ever having a reboot on either of them. not saying it never happened but i dont recall it happening.
i also read about people having rotation issues and have not had that issue either so maybe i am lucky.
if Cell Standby would use less battery and reception improve a little it would almost be perfect.
I am on the 3 UK branded firmware and I get occasional reboots and also occasional freezes.
It is very annoying.
I am going to flash the unbranded UK firmware for my edge and see if it makes a difference.
Please Let me know how it goes. .those sudden reboots drive me crazy

You haven't even mentioned which firmware you are on, or which you were on previously. Are you using a G925F/T/I/W8/D/P/D4/0? With only saying "I have random reboots" you say as much as "I have a problem". And that isn't much, at least not enough to provide any constructive help..
Did you root? Did you change anything? Any information please Otherwise it will be hard/impossible to really help with it

What that "volte" does?
It uses a different frequency to make signals go further.
Supposed to help fill in the areas where the signal is poor or no signal.
