My s3 doesn't keep settings after a restart and basically has never been 100% at it. Eg. Ring tones will revert to default, default application settings get forgotten. Phone has been rooted before but actually isn't right now.
Running 4.1.2
I have done a factory data reset.
Any thoughts?

Thoughts are one post in the correct forum and two return phone to vendor as faulty .

Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Really? The s3 q&a and troubleshooting forum is the wrong forum?
Since the phone has been rooted im hesitant to send it back. Its actually also had the screen replaced.
Still hopeful someone has better advice than tell me im posting in the wrong forum. This place used to be friendlier than this im sure.
Just saw the link for the lte specific forum. Will repost there.

Not if you have I9300 yes its wrong if you have I9305 really .
Btw, what forum would be a better place for me troubleshooting question?
The I9305 forum Q&A logically .
You had two bits of advice ignore them both or not .

Thanks for the advice. Already took one of them... other one; not sure how my warranty would hold up with being rooted and a screen replaced... sad face.
Considering a cyanogen or perhaps liquidsmooth rom that I've just seen a bit about.
My concern is that even a new rom doesn't wipe or refresh all the parts where things like default settings might be kept during a restart. So hoping some advice comes through in that regard perhaps.. but not in this forum.

Everybody's work here is terrific! I have a HSPA+ speed question. I've been playing with my phone today, and noticed when I restore my stock backup I get faster speeds. Stock backup I get 5-7meg download, and on unamed, and ICSrewed I get 1-2.5. I checked and the apk settings are the same across the board. Just curious...
are you running the same modem as stock while on one of the custom roms? Different modems work better in different areas.
Btw this belongs in q /a not dev forum.

You think this has anything to do with development? Did you create anything? No so it belongs in Q&A

Moved. In the future, please do not post questions in the Dev forum, or infractions will be handed out. If you are unsure of where to post, please read the rules of the forum.
Modem=baseband can be found in settings-about phone. First thread in dev section has zips to flash. I flashed mine right over existing rom no wipe and it worked but had to reflash after updating as modem was included in rom. BTW modem=radio also.
Hey guys, I couldn't find any thread or post of this matter.... So, my brother has a S3 I9300 and was running 4.1.2 version.... He has experienced lots of hangs/freeze until the home button does not respond... He have to pull out the battery and put it back so that the phone can turn on.... So, anyone can help me with it???

Look in general section for ultimate freezing thread.
Its s result of sds fix - look in general for sticky sds thread

Thanks.... But I'm kinda confused.... Haha

So there's a bug called sds. Sudden Death Syndrome. It wipes the internal memory including android to the point the phone is dead and needs motherboard replacement.
Samsung released a fix for this in 4.1.2 - see the important sds thread "are you covered" created by me. Its stuck at the top of the general forum. It tells you how to identify if you're affected.
If you are, and you're using an older 4.1.2, the side affects are long freezes and hangs.
The newer 4.1.2s with version 2 fix are much better. There is another thread in general called "ultimate freezing thread" or something which may contain methods that temporarily relieve freezing.
First things first, read my thread and find out if the device is affected. If it is, compare the device version of android against tgr ones in that thread to see which version of the fix it has. Then take it from there

Hey guys. I rooted my metro pcs gs3, and had some problems. I now flashed a rooted stock rom and all is well.
Besides for the fact that I can't use the factory reset option. I'm no pro, but it seems the phone doesn't know what to restore from. It resets then freezes on the metropcs screen (after gs3 screen).
Is there any way I can fix this problem?
It doesn't cause errors in normal life, but when I went to reset to flash another rom, this happened.
PS: factory reset from restore mode doesn't work.

Instead of spending time here, head over to the forum specific for your phone model & carrier.
In general, most samsung phones (including your model) can go back to the stock state using odin.
Do you know how to do this?

You do not need 10 questions to read any existing threads, or (if needed) ask a question in a Q&A forum. Questions do not belong in Development forums which is why the 10 post rule is in place.
OK, so to start I have read and read and search the forums, but I don't see anyone with these strange symptoms, so here it is...
I have a GT-I9300 running CM 10.2 (4.3.1) here in China, and in my home the signal is terrible, between 0 and 1 bar. I do get data, however it constantly jumps between E and H+, so I decided to give an RIL update a try. I downloaded some RILs and some MODEM+RILs to try experiment with, two which reference China and a UK unbranded one. Flashed all three and always I get the same strange result.
With the original RIL and/or matching or unmatching Baseband, I get 0 to 1 bar and slow data. If I flash ANY of the 3 that I downloaded I get FULL SIGNAL bars, and it's glued to H+ with great data rates. I can make calls just fine, however none of the downloaded RILs allow me to receive calls. I go back to the original setup and my signal drops to nothing, data goes back to slow, but I can send and receive calls.
Ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Wrong section, this is not Q&A. Anyways, flashing ril on cm will break calls or other stuff, since cm is not using a standard implementat of libril. The only thing you can change is the modem.

Exactly. CM uses OpenRIL, so flashing any sammy ril will break it. Download an app called 'perka's file stash' from playstore, there are plenty of modems without ril that you can safely flash. but first, reflash CM to restore normal ril.
. .and then read general > sticky roll-up thread > understanding the basics before rooting. All this and much more is covered

It's funny you should say that given the section this thread is in is called "Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting"
I think it's right there in the middle somewhere...
But I digress. Changed the modem, aside from my phone changing the way it identifies my carrier there seems to be no change. Sometimes the carriers is called China Unicom, sometimes it's called CU-CHN. Odd.
