When he asked for more info we need to know whether or not you have done anything to the device.
Rooted?
Custom Rom?
Mods?
Model?
Did it work before? How long?
When did it start? Last thing you did before noticing problem?

I was about to ask if the phone had been opened. the guy that fixed your phone probably forgot to plug in the antenna cable that's on the bottom right hand side of your phone.. you could actually do it yourself if you have a set of precision screw drivers.. very simple fix...

Your IP address is 0 because you're not connecting to anything. I disassembled my phone to show you what you need to plug in.. yes i know.. i'm cool like that...
i circled it in red.. the wire comes from top on the right hand side and plugs in right on the red circle...
ok, i tried to attach a pic but since i'm a noob on the board i can't... i'll try to message it to you.

Does factory reset help battery?

My battery sucks. 2 hours on screen time. No auto sync, Bluetooth, GPS, and wifi/data are never on at the same time. Will factory resetting my phone help at all? If not, does anyone have any tips for battery? This is my third replacement phone because of bad battery.

Do a factory reset and do not download any applications. Run your phone for a normal 12 hour day. Use your phone text call surf the web than check your screen time you should get around 3 to 4+ hours. Most likely its an app draining yo batt.

Or you have really bad cell service in your area that alone will kill (drain) battery

Rogers S3 Help Please

Hi I have a s3 from Rogers, I need to send the phone back for a replacement, I rooted and and unrooted the phone, but I still have a status as modified under the settings area, do I need to fix this before sending it in? And also how do I get rid of this? I heard it has something to do with super user still being in the systems folder, but I cant delete it
Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance for any assistance

shouldn't be too hard for those that know how to build from a source. Should come out pretty stable also. I'll give it a go of course, but doubt I'd be able to stay on it for too long.
So far, i personally like the way it looks and acts.. But it suppose it'll depend on performance and stability, functionality.
I'll give it a go, for sure.
I'll try anything once.... she said.
I would love to beta test it out for any one once they get it ported over

i'd suggest you not flash this right now, as it's clearly stated that the ROM is only for the Verizon Galaxy S III, d2vzw.
flashing a ROM from another phone could cause your device to hard brick.

Nice, that means one step (or in all reality, multiple steps...) Closer to this bad mamma-Jamma on our babies. I've heard that it's not ready for daily use but I'm down for something new. Also been thinking about getting a Nexus 7 soon to try this out. Or a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for the larger screen... Still can't make up my mind...

Technically, it's the mounting points that differ. You could go into the updater-script and modify the mount points to match our phone.
I assume it has a while sperate kernel though? (I haven't looked). If so, that would clearly be a problem too.
If nobody else has done it by tonight, I'll look it over when I get home. I'll be out all day searching fort parts for my project car.

I think you may be stuck on LTE only. Open your dialer and press *#2263# and click on automatic. It should look like this. Good luck!!
