When I am on 4g LTE/4g/3g any network, Internet connection seizes and I have no Idea why, One day it stopped working. I could think it is potential water damage to the antenna from sweat. Please respond if you have had this problem or know of any solution?

Hi,
I'm new to the forum so apologise in advance if this is a stupid question.
I recently bought a Sim Free S3. I haven't rooted it as i'm quite happy with the stock os for now. Everything had been working very smoothly on it. But since getting the over the air update for it my data signal randomly drops out or freezes. It seems to do it over WiFi too. It does this even though it shows a wifi connection or with the H+ visible. I've also noticed it cycle through H+ to 3G and back again.
Sometimes the signal works again on it's own and other times i have to switch the phone off and on aain.
I find it happens on tweakdeck the most but has also happened whilst browsing the net.
Do you think this could be linked to the update or could this just be a coincidence and there's an underlying hardware fault.
Let the new update run for a little bit...let it settle in
It might just be the spot u in and I doubt its the phone
Might be uodate but how long u been on the update?

Think the update came through on Tuesday.
Will give it a few more days to settle and see how it goes.
Thanks.
Still having an issue with this.
My internet worked all weekend then today started to fail on me again today.
The phone shows a HSPA connection but will not download any data.
I know it's not the network as my wife is on the same network and is having no issues.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Same problem
I am having the same problem here. I just bought SGS3 about 3 days ago and I started noticing data drop out yesterday. I wish someone could help me. I was hoping the problem to be solved by the time we get firmware update.
BTW, I am also having problem using usb tethering or wifi hotspot. After using usb tethering for about 10 minutes, it stops connecting although the phone still has data connection.
Is it hardware or software problem???
Thanks!!!
having the same issue after power saving goes on i lose h+ until god knows when
Hi all,
I'm having a data connectivity issue on my phone when moving from 2G to 3G. If I'm connected to 2G, then move into an area of 3G coverage the phone will successfully migrate to the 3G network, however the data connection will often not start up for between 30 minutes and severanl hours. Flipping airplane mode will *sometimes* fix it, but more frequently, even rebooting the phone won't work. However, if I lock the phone to 3G from the settings, I do not encounter this issue at all. It only happens on my home provider (Jersey Telecom - they're small). In the UK, on Three, it didn't happen.
So, given that the problem can persist over reboots, and doesn't happen in the UK, it makes me think it's more likely a network issue, so I called them up. The network engineer managed to reproduce the issue on his colleagues Samsung Galaxy Note, but they are adamant that it's a phone issue and not a network issue, and is a matter of Samsung not sticking to the specs. The phone isn't currently rooted, but I can root it if it will help me debug the problem. From the sounds of it, it may be problem consistent to all Samsung radio phones on our network.. and I really don't want to switch to another phone.
They say that from their logs, the phone is not always trying to create (or presumably, migrate?) a PDP when moving to a 3G network. It's hard to say whether it's a problem with the phone or their logs.. has anyone else experienced a similar issue? Does anyone know how to access logs about the phone trying to create a PDP etc. so that I have something to compare with theirs?
Thanks
check out the modems thread and try a better modem

For some reason, when I tether my phone's Internet it works fine for a moment or a long time and then it switches to limited connectivity. No Internet connection on any of the connected devices, even if I reset the connection. Only restarting my phone seems to work.
Using stock Android 4.0.4 and the stock tether.
Has anybody else experienced this? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Well, none of you bothered to reply to this, so I might as well. After I upgraded to 4.1.1 it seemed to work better, and it wouldn't turn off if I leave power saving off. However, the internet still randomly refuses to work on my laptop and only connects again if I restart the phone.

4G or 3G model? I have to turn LTE off because if it bounces around from LTE to 3G+ on my i9305T it tends to hang. I cant use wifi tether at all when CM10.1 when LTE is enabled, well I can use it but its very unstable. Try turning LTE off. If that's not the issue I'm sorry I can't help.

I don't really know because I don't have LTE at my location, the best reception I get is HSPDA+ which I heard is like 3.5G. I'm not really sure if my device is capable of 4G/LTE. It occasionally switches to E-GPRS when I'm not using the internet. But very rarely (like maybe once in 2 days), the internet just refuses to connect both in my phone and laptop eventhough the data indicator has the green and orange arrow on. When I restart it, it usually works fine. It's really confusing.
I've had my Z2 for about a month now with no problems whatsoever, but recently my phones data connection has been dropping randomly when im not connected to wifi and doesnt come back on for a few minutes. Is there any solution to fix this?

Is your Bluetooth on at the same time?
No, I dont have anything on at all
Hey guys,
I'm currently having problems with my mobile data. I was running stock 4.3 and flashed to CM 13 (I did a backup of course). My mobile data was working fine at that moment.
Since my the front glass was broken but the LCD was intact, I decided to send in the S3 for repair to a shop that fixes the glass but does not touch the LCD. I got the device back two weeks later and everything was good.
The problem started happening, when I put in my SIM card, I noticed, that 3G or H is not working at all (or very slow). Pages took a minute to just load the HTML. I thought that it was probably an issue with CM 13 or APNs and updated to the newest nightly. Still, not working there. I tried calling the phone and sending SMS and everything worked.
I then decided to go back to my backup of Stock because maybe CM13 was bugged. But now the 3G is not even working on my backup of stock. Regular G works, but is too slow to use. When I switch to 3G the connection is too slow and acts strange by switching to G or just losing the connection entirely.
I checked my APN and that didn't help.
Could that been cause by the repair? Maybe broken the antenna or something? But isn't it inside of the phone and shouldn't be touched by a front glass repair?
It's not an EFS problem I think, since I still have my IMEI and calling works, internet on G works as well but not on 3G.
If it's the antenna, how hard is it to repair?
Thanks for trying to help me!
This happened to me,
Internet will only work on
E, G, H, and H+
Internet will not work on
3G
Ask your carrier if they use Fast Dormancy, I turned off Fast Formancy and it's fine
Edit: do research if you wanna know more about Fast Dormancy
Thanks for the help, but unfortunately that doesn't work either.
I've witness another strange phenomenon where the mobile data is working a few meter away from my house but not near it. The strange thing is, it used to work and also works on other smartphones with the same carrier.
Aliens.. No seriously.. If you can get Hspda then there's nothing wrong. Your device has determined that the signal isn't strong enough to lock on so it chooses a stronger signal.
