Sometimes when I'm speaking to someone on the phone. It like they get cut of for a moment, but not disconnected for a about 5 to 10 seconds. Anyone know what's causing this? I'm on the latest stock firmware
CM13 ROM sorted the issue. Stock is buggy.

Hello!
Well... I have this phone since yesterday... I plugged to the computer with Kies, and well, a update was available... now the phone have Froyo and the aesthetics changed completely, it looks awesome.
But, the phone have this ANNOYING problem that, after using it... like 5~10 minutes of no activity, when I try to use the phone again it doesnt work... doesn't respond to any button, I have to take off the battery in order to restart it and that over and over again...
I've realized also that this happens when I'm using wifi, if I left the phone with wifi on this happens, without wifi seems to work fine.
Somebody have any clue what could be? there's little information about this issue in the internet...
I think I'm going to return it but I want to try everything I can do (without voiding the warranty) since the phone was perfect for what I wanted.
Thanks in advance!
Hey. I got the same problem here. It only happened a few times when I just had froyo that came stock on my galaxy 5 but I recently installed cyanogenmod 7 and now its happening everytime I put my phone down.
So I'm guessing it may be directly related to what rom is installed? I've heard about it happening a bit to people who have 2.1 installed to.
I dont know too much but it seems the only fix is to take out battery and turn on.
Sorry I can't help more. I hope somebody knows a bit more than me on this.
Think this is called something like the 'wifi sleep of death', something to do with the rom. i'd try change the rom and see if it still occurs
Thanks for the hints tho!, but I returned the phone... it seems that is a bug related to the update of the phone, since I know that with the out of the box 2.1 version it doesn't have that issue...
You know, the mobile carriers also do weird stuff to the roms... -__-
Starting 5 days ago, I've had this issue. Googling it, it's extremely common and has no fix other than sending the phone to Samsung:
Symptoms:
- On making a call, starting from today (really yesterday), I get no audio going in or out. However both speakers are work fine, because the earpiece makes a beep sound to let me know call forwarding is active. The rear one works for everything.
- Headphones in call don't work either
- Sometimes I get sound for one call until I hang up, or it's very crackly and
useless.
- While ringing when dialing out (or rather, when you WOULD be hearing ringing if it was working), sometimes it'll cut the call and say "OUT OF SERVICE AREA", and then I'll get the circle with the line through it where signal is supposed to be. Signal is back seconds later.
- Data and texting work fine.
Things I've tried:
- I was on Omega ROM 13.1 with Siyah 1.5.3, although I've read online people have this issue bone stock, unrooted.
- Flashed stock insecure kernel
- Flashed several different modems
- ODIN'd back to the ROM that came with the phone (was originally a real-SIM-unlocked, Vodafone Germany i9300).
- Wiped everything possible
I'm willing to donate via Paypal to whoever has a definitive fix for this problem. It's really driving me insane that I don't have a working phone for calls. Worst case I'll call Samsung, but I expect they'll charge me an arm and a leg, if they even accept it considering it's from the UK originally (bought it off Amazon in June). This seems like a software issue, not a hardware issue consider both speakers still physically work fine. The issue is, what the hell is causing it if it came about completely randomly, and is happening across all ROMs, kernels, and modems that I flash?
Before you ask, no the Accessibility Setting for turning off all sounds is not on.
Thanks in advance for anyone that replies.

I have a feeling the area where the modem data is stored is corrupted. Odin 3.07 has a "NAND Erase All" option, but I don't think it's really safe without having a copy of the bootloader, in case that gets wiped to. So anyone have a copy or any suggestions? I really don't want to ship this phone to the UK to get it fixed. Here's a video of what it looks like (not my video):

Right guys, I have been on the Original Development section asking similar questions and had good suggestions, but here is the problem in a lot more detail as I don't want to spam the section with the same problem and get literally no reply as people are busier with other things on there. Basically the phone has it's two speakers, the earpiece at the front and the speaker at the back both of which are working and functional. However the problem lies in the phone calls. I bought the phone on stock firmware, latest UK generic update it was and everything was fine. I decided to root the phone and flash PA 2.13.1. As soon as I did this I came across a few issues, one being NFC not working and the current and seemingly unfixable issue that I have with the phone calls where, as I receive a call and answer it the microphone doesn't work, I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me. Both on loud speaker and through the earpiece. It's as if they disable when a call comes through. But when I hang up or they hang up I can hear the end call tone, the beep coming through the earpiece. So I know that it works. The same goes for loud speaker, however I already knew that it still worked as I can play music through it cleanly. It's in perfect working order.
I've tried several solutions, including flashing new modems, RIL etc. Flashing 3 part software. I have yet to try flashing the 3 part software with a .PIT file, like mx.pit as I simply can't find that file (if someone would be as kind to link me it) anywhere. I'm currently back on stock XXALE8 UK firmware. The problem is still there. I STILL can't make a phone call without this annoying thing happening, and as I said, the problem wasn't there before I flashed PA. It's so f****** annoying as I followed the instructions perfectly, I mean, I've been using android since 2009 and rooting and flashing is nothing new to me. I've never had an issue as severe as this one.
Anyways, thanks in advance for any suggestions you guys can throw at me, I know you'll all agree when I say the GS3 kicks ass and you'll know my pain when I tell you it's being a broken piece of crap haha!
EDIT: Right, I have made another definite discovery with this problem! It's to do with my signal. When I answer a call or make a call, it appears to connect to the caller for roughly about 0.01 seconds as it says it's connected, but then it hangs silent for a while, about 13-15 seconds before disconnecting saying there is no service in the area. Give it another five seconds and the signal reconnects. It is the exact same effect you would have if you were on the phone on the train and went through a tunnel, it would say you were connected when you aren't. Does this make sense, anyone know what the cause of this could be?
My international Galaxy S3 started to constantly freeze, lock up and hang. So I decided to factory reset it. Then I figured why wouldn't I also switch to a custom ROM in the process. So I read the tutorials and installed Android Revolution ROM. The freezing problems have become very rare (they didn't completely go away) but this time I got an even worse problem. My phone won't wake up sometimes. It happened again a few minutes ago: The phone would ring (albeit the ringing tone came out laggy), nothing on the screen, I press power button no response, then I take the back cover off and reinsert the battery, boot the phone and look at the call logs but of course it doesn't show who called me. This is getting very frustrating. What seems to be problem?
Which version of Samsung Android were you using before?
You could try to flash official Samsung Android over your CM via Odin: and I mean 4.1.2 which is still more stable and reliable than the new 4.3 (In my opinion).
This should wipe everything on your device, and hopefully repair what's wrong with it.
Hope it helps.
hi all,
i need your help for my problem
from the first time i used this phone already got the problem.
everytimes when phone charging ( or after charging ), the touchscreen gone crazy if i got an incoming call and at least 2-3 times incoming call. after that everythings normal. FYI, the touchscreen does not has a problem while using daily or playing games whole day...just happened when i charge the phone and incoming call. I dont know what is the problem, in my area doesnt has a sony service center. First i thought it was a software problem but after update to the latest version, the problem still exist.

Thank you for your replied.
Current build number : 34.4.A.2.50 ( April 1 security patch ).
I just updated normally via wifi.
Still stock rom and i didnt root it.
The problem exist when im charging the phone then call coming or i switch on/off the network...screen starting gone crazy. I guess it always happen when i switch on/off the network, thats why when call coming the screen start touch itself ( with the charger plugged in ). It will be normal after 2-3 times call, i cant answer/making the call so very annoying. I have to wait after screen back to normal after 2-3 times call. I have never face this kind of problem with other phones so thats weird.

since its bootlocked phone there is nothing much can be done on the software side
if you hadn't dropped your phone or anything, try flashing different build / country / version and check!
this is the first case i am hearing.
if it stays the same you may have to take it to the service centre
