I've been with the EVO 4g and the EVO 3D and now the SG3. at my job i've never had a problem sending a text until I got the SG3, using the orginal rom or custome rom, they are do the same. I will send a text and alot of times it doesn't go through and I have to keep sending until it goes through, every now and again while sending a text, all my text will disappear and it will tell me by text box is empty. I will then have to reboot to restore all of my text.
right now i'm running Sonic FreeGS3 0.7 with LF9.
If there's a thread about this that I might have missed, feel free to point me in that direction as well.
Thanks.

What kind of signal coverage do you get at your work? Also have u been doing any data wipes with your rom flashing?
I don't have a fix for the stock app, but I can offer you an alternative -
Google Voice can replace the stock messaging app. It's main feature is that it sends texts over WiFi/data so you recieve/send texts faster, especially in an area with good WiFi but bad cell coverage like an office building.
Yes, having this issue today, signal keeps going in and out in Dallas Downtown area.
Glad I am not depending on my data connection right now.
before my signal was 4 sometimes 5 bars with the EVO's the SGS3 I will be lucky to get 2 bars, mostly 1 to sometimes 0 . even though I set at my same desk every day, Nothing has changed besides my phone.
yousefak I will try that again, I think I tried that back in the day.
I came from a nexus 4g and it did it every once in a while, but with the s3 its like ever other text, you can't even get a conversation going because that text errors out and you hit retry like 5 times for it to go through, signal is normal as usual.
This is the only complaint with the phone.
Weird, I haven't had any trouble with text messages so far with the stock app. I have a feeling that many of these issues might be related to the on-going Network Vision work, but it really depends on your area. It could be the phone, but I'm not convinced that it is.
Network Vision upgrades can cause this.
i've had this problem since last month, i'm pretty sure its a network thing, just gotten worst with the s3, co worker has iphone on sprint and it goes through instantly.

Does that still apply if you're not using the Google Voice app to send texts? I'm using GO SMS Pro, but have GVoice intregrated with my account. Didn't know if that was ever the case or not.
And in agreement with the others, very possibly a NV issue...I was going through this a few weeks back here in the burbs of Chicago.
I had this a few times where reception was poor. I typically exited the messaging app immediately after hitting send and this would cause it I think, and now I wait until it actually sends before exiting. Haven't had a dropped text since then.
I have the same problem alot with this phone. I have had it for two weeks now and more often than not text fails to send. I have full signal too. Tower is less than a 1000 feet behind my work. Don't really know why it does this but it get pretty bad sometimes. Very hab to keep texting back and forth sometimes. Sometimes the wife is like HELLLO! Where did you go lol.

This would be nice but you can't send mms on Google voice.
Just an update, i was texting at home last night and all my text went through instantly with no problems. I guess it really depends on where you are at and the sprint tower you are connected to.
dapretendr, same here, works when i'm not at my job, but even at home where 98% of the time it works, I do have about 1-2% where it makes me retry.
I expect it to get better once LTE is turned on here in philly, but I don't think we should have to rely on LTE to get text to work better. This is the 1 downside I've heard on different forums though about samsung, they make 1 of the best phone but the Radio for the signals lack.

My phone acts very weird and I don't know if it's normal or not. My phone's signal jumps between full bars and then 1 or no bars when I surf the web or send a picture message. It's downright annoying. Sure, it usually sends and receives data, but the fluctuating signal is getting to be beyond annoying. Anyone else having this problem? I'm on the current version of the Frozen Syndicate ROM.

What he said. This is very common on the Epic. Happens to me a lot =\
Running SRF 1.1.0 as well.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I thought it had to do with the modem builds with the epic. I don't think it is a Sprint universal issue, because I did not have this issue on any of my previous sprint devices (that I remember).

Correct, it's the modem. That's why you see people on the forum complaining about the EC05 modem sometimes because it has signal bar issues, or stuff like that.
My phone does the same thing, even if it's sitting and NOT moving. Even my data speeds fluctuate sooooo much, it sucks. Sometimes Youtube will work great, other times they won't even start to load.
Hmmm...
It probably is the tower. Could be the modem to blame as well. Here in my house, I connect to my Airrave. 98% of the time, I have full bars with a stable connection with relatively consistent fast 3G speeds. The 2%, I get some wonky lag and usually then go and reset the Airrave. Everything works fine after I reset it.
I was just out of town in Vegas over the weekend and I had MAJOR problems sending MMS's, highly erratic data speeds, fluctuating signal, and overall connection problems. That was even when I wasn't holding the phone. Voice data and sending SMS's were very reliable, but forget sending MMS's or having good 4G speeds. I'm starting to think 4G is a drain both battery and money wise. Using 4G is like driving a classic car: It doesn't always start up, they're hard to find, they're finicky; but when it works properly, it's badass!
Random question: Is there an app that has a status bar for sending SMS and MMS's like the iPhone? For example, on the iPhone when you send an SMS or MMS, there's a status bar that shows the status of that message. If it's going out or lagging, etc. Is there an app that does that? I think that's a cool feature. Handcent just has a circular pinwheel, but stops when it goes out.
I would think it has to do with the modem as well. I have an EB13 based ROM, but an EC05 modem. I've noticed similar things, just not very frequently. It's strange...I'll have "great" signal, then for no reason, it'll dorp to 1x coverage and that SUCKS.
I'm thinking of going back to the EB13 modem as most people seem to think it's quite a bit better than the EC05 modem. I do think even that varies from phone to phone though, so I think it's mostly trial and error until you find what works best for you.
I have a fantastic update. Well it is for me, and might be for all f you also. Last night I decided to odin the EC05 modem again. And guess what? My signals beeen great!! Its always constant! No 4bars then zero in same spot no more!!
I already had the EC05 modem before I decided to do this. I recommmend odin'in you modem again!!
BIG NOTE*** I used the phone location for the modem.tar NOT pda.

Has anyone else experienced problems with text messaging and the Airvana? When I send a text it tells me that message is not going through and to try again. The recipient actually receives the message and gets spammed 5+ times with the same message.
Also, if I received text messages during this period I get all the responses together within a few seconds.
This only occurs, randomly, while connected to the Airvana. I know this is isolated to the Airvana unit because when I switch back to my old Airave it doesn't happen.
This is why I stopped using mine.
happens to me all the time with that damn airvana
I used to have the same issues, and it was very frustrating. I did however notice improvement after I ported my sprint # to google. and upgraded to the latest radio. It's been a good 2 months and I have not had any issues. I've also upgraded my wireless router to a Netgear 300N. Hope this can be a bit of help.
Yep, just unplug the damn thing. I used mine for 2 days and had way too many problems. It now sits in a box in my closet.

I have the same problem every now and then. Whenever I send a text and it seems to be taking too long to send, I delete it. the recipient still gets it several times but not the 20+ times they would normally get it if I weren't to delete it. Only hapens every once in a while, it is quite annoying though.
Yea there's a thread over on Sprintusers where people are having identical problems. Someone posted that Sprint is aware of the issue and working on fixing it. (This was like Oct 2010).

Where as other carriers would look at you and laugh that your contract isn't up and send you nothing...
An issue like that doesn't last very long.
I called Airave tech support and they are telling me I need to update my PRL and it'll fix all my problems. BS.
He says they have some tool that is supposed to show 5 green dots for my phone but I have 2 black X's.
yeah.. you get to choose between working texts all the time or good signal.
So im not the only one. He seem like it only happens when texting back and forth with someone quickly. If your airave mobile light wont turn green and only blinks amber. You need the higher up sprint airave tech to do a firmware reset. Fixed my issue

My airvana stops working rondomly all the time, they keep telling me its my ISP because it fails the quallity of service test they want to to do. but yet every other Qos test I run I pass. And last night my nexus would not sent mms, but my wifes phone worked just fine.
I thought this was fixed with a hard reset. Problem is happening again. I'm going to try to switch back from Airvana to my Airave unit.
Tech support is telling me it'll take up to 4 hours to provision my unit? Sounds like an awfully long time!
I plugged in Airvana unit back in last night after maybe 3 months. Of course, after one day my text messaging problem returns.
I call Sprint and this time the tech support says it is a known issue whereas before they said "no reported problems." It is apparently just a problem with Airvana and EVOs/Epics. They said that the manufacturer of the Airvana units are aware of the problem and there is not current fix available. They essentially told me to disconnect the unit to text message or to wait until I'm out of Airvana range. That's pretty ridiculous if you ask me!
Ya I have this exact same issue, so effing annoying, and if I disconnect my airvana I get no service at all and texts don't send anyway :/

Mine situation is even weirder. The first day or two after I install a new ROM, I'll have the issue where the person I'm sending the text to will get it 10 times, and I'll get replies 10 times, and then the problem will suddenly disappear. Happened on every ROM I've ever used since I got my Airave, both AOSP and Sense.
It has been confirmed as phone and Airvana related by Sprint. Won't matter if you're stock or on any special ROM.
I am having a weird radio issue with my E4GT. I am running a FI27 ICS build, with the FI27 modem and everytime I send an SMS, it starts to send, the signal meter drops to 0 bars (from usually 4 or 5) and it takes a very long time to send the text (about 15 seconds or longer), either that or it just says it "failed" but I check google voice inbox or ask the recipient and they usually get them fine. I updated my profile and prl the other day, and I think that may be the culprit, can anyone please provide some insight? is there a way to roll back PRL or something? Should I try a new modem? I receive SMS just fine btw.
This may or may not be related, but within the same time frame, I have also been experiencing clock sync issues, my time zone is Eastern, so now it is GMT -4 hours, but every so often, before I changed my clock setting to from automatic network time to manual, my phone clock would jump 4 hours ahead. So I am guessing it is part of the same radio issues. any and all help is much appreciated.
I have that since I got this phone back on gingerbread. Also on my previous phones like the Evo4G and OG Epic. I think that's just Sprint network for you. Doesn't happen much when you're on 4G and Wifi. Sending messages steals from your reception since they both are ran by the 2G network. At least that's how I always saw it.
Edit: Also take into consideration that Sprint is upgrading their towers. Might be the reason you're experiencing it more often. And yes even though sometimes it says failed they do go through. I always hit resend and get a complain about double texting from the other person lol

Hi all, I don't know if it is my GS3 but wifi calling is not working rigth. It keeps disconnecting from time to time. Sometimes says its working and incoming calls are sent to voicemail without ringing, other times people say the phone didn't even ring and the call dropped. And sometimes the incoming calls came and the phone frezees when trying to answer it. And sometimes it just work fine...
The problem is that I had another GS3 which was working perfect but I cracked the screen and got another one (New), and this one started giving me those problems from the beggining. It was completely stock for a month after that I flashed a few ROMS and still had the problem. I tried searching online and found that other people are having the same issues and started complaining at the same time that I replaced my phome, so maybe its not the new phone?? And a tmobile problem?? I still have warranty on this one and can replace it again but first I would like to know if there are people that have the same problems or issues. Thanks in advance

Literally, in the last 5 minutes it's dropped and reconnected 3 or 4 times. I'm getting so frustrated with tmo. I wish they had email support because I really don't think I can keep my cool in real time.. it's just ridiculous.
It's been terrible since day one :/
can't anyone get to the bottom of the problem? i read somewhere that t-mobile decided to use a different platform for the wifi calls for some of the newer phones which includes the s3. i have no t-mobile coverage inside my house and depend on wifi calling. since i got my s3 my wifi calls drop repeatedly. it's completely unusable. we demand answers and a fix. i've found hundreds of users through google searches who've had this problem.
what's going on?
I noticed Skype 3.0 kept disappearing when WiFi calling would crash so I'm going back to 2.9 and pretending like it's gonna fix my problems. There's a HUGE thread in the GS forums over at tmo support this problem has been going on since our phones were released, and as far back as last year on other phones. They simply don't care enough to fix it.

Just spent the last hour trying to send a text..... WiFi on and off, restarted a few times. Tried WEP instead of WPA, set port forwarding on the router. This is CRAZY. It seems like the first two weeks (first month?) I had the phone it was ROCK SOLID but since then it's only gotten worse day by day. I can't believe this s**t. The person at the tmo store said you have to wait a year before a new customer can get a free signal booster, not that it'd even help....
I want to call or live chat but I am so pissed I honestly don't think I can act like an adult
Do any of you people with problems have Comcast voice? Could their VoIP be messing it up?? I tried to run another modem but Comcast wouldn't let me activate it... what a crappy night!
Hey guys. I tried wifi calling again today and it has been working perfect all day. No disconnection, all texts and calls enter without any problems. I'm just wondering if anyone else is still having problems with wifi calling.

I could not get my Wifi Calling to function properly at work. Text works great, sending and receiving. My phone rings when I receive a call, but I cannot hear anything, neither does the caller. Similarly, when I dial a number, the other phone rings, but no audio is heard on either end. This only happens at a coroporate network, not at home or an open network such as hotels or restaurants. T-Mobile is supposedly aware of the problem but no solution is in the works.
A couple days ago MMS over WiFi broke. I tried every setting possible so I ODIN'd back to ICS without root and things were 100000x better. Still got a few disconnects but nowhere near as horrible. Then I did the OTA on tmos server to JB. Seemed a little less stable but still useable for texts. Rooted last night and still seems stable but a few extra disconnects.
One thing I've noticed on a few disconnects, I saw the connected to WiFi network bottom of screen notification pop up. The WiFi indicator stayed full bars so I'm not sure if it actually disconnected or that bottom screen pop up was just WiFi calling reenabling.
I think the WiFi in our phone is less than great. My router gives my PC a 300/300mbps link, on my phone it's 65/150mbps.
For me all the problems are resolved except mms. But no disconnects, texts and calls work great. Used it the whole weekend without one single problem. I havent done anything with the phone, Im using sonic resurrection 7.1.1 ROM. Maybe tmobile is fixing the problem, slowly but fixing it.

There are allllllllll these threads aboutwifi calling and NO SOLUTIONS posted from tmobile. What a pathetic joke of a company.
I've been having a problem with receiving texts sometimes and I recently noticed that it happens with call apparently. The issue is that I'm texting people back and forth and then all of a sudden I wont receive messages for a long time (couple hours). At some point, someone's text message will push through all of the other ones all at the same time. Sometimes when I assume i'm having this issue, I will send a text to myself and it will push the other ones through as well. Recently though I was made aware that during this "outage", I also was not able to receive phone calls at all. The signal is strong at all times (3-4 bars). Also happens when I'm home all day and not changing locations when it will suddenly stop getting texts and calls. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I restarted the phone and changed cell towers with the Airplane mode many times and the issue continues to happen at random times. It is really inconvenient. Suggestions?
Technical details: I use the stock 4.1.1 Rom that comes with AT&T S3. I do have LTE in my area.
And now it has happened 3 days in a row but at different times of day. This is a huge problem for me as I use my phone a lot. Any help would be appreciated

That's weird. Re-seat your SIM card, if that doesn't do anything then take a trip to your nearest AT&T store/dealer and have them swap out your SIM card and see if it still occurs after that.
I had a similar problem a while back and it happened to be a network problem with my carrier. Gave them a call and all is fine now.

It happend to me too. I went to att store and get new sim. No problem for last 15-20 days. Looks like i got stronger signal too.
Just to give anyone interested in this an update:
I went to the AT&T store today and told them my issue so they told me to go to the nearest AT&T device support center (which was really far away). People over there told me they heard about this issue many times over the past couple of months. The guy working there had a S3 and said he has the same problem. They received an email from the higher-ups this morning specifically talking about this random outage thing I have and that they are currently working on it. They were told to not exchange phones or sim cards because of this since it wont help. The issue involves a combination of Network and Jelly Bean software problems and happens on all new LTE devices that have Jelly Bean from AT&T. They told me to check periodically if there is a solution.
I guess I just gotta wait. Unless someone recommends a ROM that is not based on the latest AT&T jelly bean?
Bumping it up, both me and my wife have had this happen. From what im read its a pretty widespread deal.
Anyone know of a work around at least until they fix it?
Keep us updated
Same problem here - switched from Verizon to AT&T last month and started noticing this problem a few weeks ago. Back then a Google search didn't find much on it, but this thread looks promising.
Just to add my two cents: I'm on a rooted S3 with task650's AOKP (4.2.1) build 12.23.2012 (link). Made sure to flash the modem for my phone (I747UCLI5 from here). Problem: phone randomly won't receive calls or texts. Sometimes calling someone will fix it.
I read somewhere that on AT&T, calls and texts are received over 3G and sometimes phones have difficulty switching from 4G. Anyone know if this is true?

Seems to still be working fine.
I started a thread on this also and just yesterday received some info from AT&T tech.

guys,
it is an ATT issue,
here is a temp solution for a fix:
1) With phone on, take off back cover and press your SIM card so it releases from the spring. It won't come all the way out as it's blocked by the battery. This seems fine - I didn't bother trying to force it out as I didn't want to break anything...
2) Once you see the message that the SIM card is removed, go to the dialer and dial *#2263#
3) You should see a menu with band selections. The current setting is "Automatic". If you switch to "GSM All", you will be EDGE (2G). If you switch to "WCDMA All", you will be on HSPA+ (3G, though AT&T and others call it 4G).
4) Press the SIM card back into place until it clicks. For whatever reason the phone will not recognize it until you reboot. Upon reboot you should see your new setting in effect
please see, post, comment here:
