[Q] [Help] Signal problems - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I have a problem with the signal of my S3 Mini, actually only in my house I think, I mean only in a same place all time. The signal icon show 3 o 4 lines of signal but if I try to call or send a message, didn't work. Just don't call and dont send message. I try to change the firmware with another modem, flash the latest modem, but the problem don't solve. I've got the i8190L with a unbranded firmware, no custom rom.
Anyone know how can I fix this problem? Thank and sorry for my inglish.

Bump, I need help

Well, thanks you for your reply but befor an exahustive research I find the solution, or apparently solution. Just change the Auto GSM/WCDMA to Only WCDMA and the signal comes to my phone and now I can call and send messages.

Yes, This have nothing to do with rom or modem. It's an issue about the signal strenght. Concrete walls?

Note that when packet data is enabled, you will lose some of network strength

Did you go into comm manager to make sure 3G is turned on? It appears you are using Dutty's rom, and as such should have posted this question in there. Anyone who could help you would have seen it in there. and then we wouldn't be frustrated that you created a new thread for this. Which is against the SOP around here.
YEs the 3G is turned ON, and i'm using Duttys rom! :/
Can someone help-me? I have searched a bit and dont have found anything

Well i'm not sure what else would cause you not to get 3G, except maybe a hardware defect, if you changed the band, or perhaps there is no 3G in your area.
To answer your question, if it stays 3G for a couple seconds and goes to G that definately means you DON'T have 3G in your area.

Yeah i haved just thinked on it :/ Its badly
Well i will go to my network providor, to see if they resolve my problem!
Thanks for your time, i will report some news soon
When 3G was first set up in the country where I live, something like that would happen. It seemed to be the network not letting me roam into it because I had a GSM pre-3G SIM card. The problem solved itself when the network provider offically "turned on" it's 3G service. So I believe you might be experiencing a network related problem. Even if there is 3G coverage, your GSM account might not be eligible for 3G service or you might need a newer SIM card.

no signal ?

when i'm making phone call suddenly no signal.and beep sound heard.it happen some time even i'm in open place.is it only me?....here is pic.
Is your phone set to wcdma only ? Or is it set to both gsm/wcdma
because if it's set to 3g only and your area has spotty 3g then maybe that's why you are loosing the signal

no...
either theres a sim problem.. sim tray problem... or a radio problem... first one is an easy fix.. second can be appx a 40-50 dollar range cost if it needs repaired.. thied one is something id warranty...
now if it has been rooted thats a whole new thing... id try going back to stock to see or at least try a new radio....
if it's hardware problem then i'll go to samsung.coz my note is still under warranty.

WCDMA basically reffers to 3g
are you confirmed that the 3g service that you wanna use works in your area
you should confirm this by asking about this to the network provider through customer care
if that 3g service is not available in your area then you cant get signals in WCDMA mode

So you are using WIFI, have you contracted a data rate on your mobile?
Where do you live? There might be some issues with different WCDMA signals in countries

As long as it is the firmware for the model (S5830 firmware->S5830, nothing else), there should be no problems.

Are you on stable rom or dev rom? What is your rom version?
May be you can try with another sim card of another telco to see if it's the phone problem or the sim card problem.

So you haven't got VoLTE. Maybe it's a slow fallback issue. If you receive a call while you are on 4G, the phone switches to 3G or to 2G and, if this switch is too slow, the caller sees you as not reachable.

Try with another SIM with a different network, so you can understand where the problem is.
Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I'm facing this issue as well. The phone simply doesn't ring when a call comes from certain numbers. I've confirmed that these numbers are NOT in the 'blocked list' in Phone app.
The only way to know that a call is missed is to open the Phone app and see that a number is blocked. Happening with 2 different Mi A2 devices in the house
Has anyone figured out a workaround?
Disable spam protection
Apologies for a late reply. Disabling "Caller ID and Spam" in the Phone app does not seem to help. Am I missing something? Is there any other way?
