[Q] S3 mini signal problem - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have an issue with the signal on my s3 mini. The problem is, when someone calls me, it says that I'm unavailable, and they get the sms from the provider that I'm available again, but when they call again, same thing happens over and over. There's also a problem with sms, cause I must click resend a few times to send the message. I tried factory reset, changing providers and nothing. Anybody might know what is the cause of this? Thanks in advance.
p.s. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section.

same thing for my college at work,
we have altogether some 6 pcs. S3 mini phones here, and only 1 have this issue...
no idea what it is??
is your phone under warranty or? if so you can take it to shop and make claim for replacement or for service
if not, you can flash maybe some other ROM with other Baseband or something
my S3 mini works perfectly from day 1, also on custom ROMs etc. with diferent basebands.. no problems at all
p.s. you can PM me if you want to "pricati na naski..."

I am not reachable on my phone

Hello
At first sorry for my bad english , i am from austria
My friends tell me that they can not call me, and always just goes off the mailbox.
when I see on the phone, I have full network and everything looks ok .
When I put the battery off the phone and take it back on it again it works .
what can that be ??
I've got the same problem but it seldom happens. I'm using the standard ROM and radio. I'm wondering what might cause this problem.
Your phone will show it's busy if a gprs connection is downloading data as voice and data can't coexist together. If using HSDPA then they can work together.
Are you using push email?
Hello
Thanks for answer.
I have now disabled gprs , so i give you a replay in the next days , if the phone works.
Thanks and to all a happy new year

I have same problem.
I think this is OS problem.
So I enable 'divert when not reached'
to divert missing call to 2nd phone (Nokia)

Try installing new RADIO Rom. The problem could be the radio rom, or its reception in the area.

Serious reception problems

I'm experiencing reception problems with my phone. The first two weeks this was not a problem but end of last week and yesterday and today I'm having troubles with the phone. I have between 2-5 bars (average 3) when talking and I'm always calling from the exact same location and same room (working from home).
The problem is that after a few minutes I can't hear the other person. The person calling me can hear me without problems but I can't hear him. So I hang up, call back and the same happens after a few minutes.
I have tried with and without headset and also tried to soft reset it without result. Any ideas what to do? Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Yes, I might be able to try that or I'll try to get it replaced. Looks like no one else is experiencing the same.
I to am having some serious Reception issues but im with Optus in Australia. When on 3G at home.. cant make or take calls. So i have turned it to just GSM so i can get calls and make them.. Sometimes I did get calls and messages on 3G at home.. but today, it just wouldnt do anything..
There are updates from other counties which seem to have a radio update.

Hi,
Is there any way just to extract the Radio upgrade ?
I have my Diamond 2 in french, and want to keep it like that.
I wrote to the french HTC Support, and they just ask me to :
- Hard reset the phone : Done and useless
- Change the sim card : not done as the sim card I used is completely new
- Disable encryption : disabled and useless....
So the only solution will be a radio upgrade only.
Thanks

[Q] Viva incoming SMS issue and missed incoming calls

Hi, I am a recently registered user but a longtime "lurker" on the Opal section of xda.
I've bought my girlfriend an opal, roughly a year ago, and in three months or so she started complaining about some issues of the phone:
- From time to time she cannot send me SMSs, she just keep receiving the "cannot send sms" error
When this happens, she usually:
- Cannot establish an outgoing call, and more important,
- She cannot even receive any incoming call despite the mobile being connected to the network, and free, so that the caller just get a "no answer" while she doesn't even have neither a missed call report nor any ringtone deployed.
- Receive incoming SMSs
I've already tried to solve the problem in various different ways, including(of course) looking for help in existing threads, flashing a new rom on the phone resetting more than once.
I'm just stuck on a dead point, as of now.
Do you have an idea on how to solve such issues?
The only "fix" we found was to activate airplane mode then deactivate it to restart the network connection.
I think it is something related to the radio part of the OS but i couldn't find different radios to flash on.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Paperboy,
your problem is contained into 2 possibilities:
Your Network Setting (the SMS provider number)
Your OS (most propable)
I guess the best remedy is to use the official ROM (WM 6.1 Professional). You may have used unstable ROMs that caused such a mess.
Unfortunately, I merely found the Arabic ROM (It can be changed to English from (Settings>> Multilanguage Support).
WM 6.1 Arabic ROM
Hope it helps somehow.
Actually, I think it's neither of two.
I checked more than once the provider settings, including the sms service center. Actually if it is not correct, she'd never be able to send messages, while the "hangs" are just...random.
On the os side, i think it's not a matter of roms, mainly because i flashed as a consequence of months of frustration with the original rom.
Any other ideas?
btw, thanks for your advice!

Hey there. I cant help but laugh, I had the exact same problem when i first got my phone and I used to think its a problem with the network but it isn't, if you haven't changed the stock OS/ROM, thats your issue, Flash an new ROM and it should resolve your problem.
(I recommend the pajerm RC3 ROM)
(Take care to backup all data, use outlook to backup all your contacts and stuff).
If that doesn't resolve your problem, post back. Best o' luck.

Okay this issue is rather different, What is certain is that the issue is not on the software side. Either your phone is konk or its the service, check the same SIM on a different phone, see if you face the same issue, if you do then its your network (which I know You said is unlikely, but no harm in making sure right?) If on the other hand, the phone works perfectly fine, then you have a problem with your phone's hardware in which case you need to get it check and probably serviced, worst case, get the handset replaced (if its under warranty).
Best o' luck
Try THIS ROM and report...Has a variety of apps as add on...Hope it works for you.
I'll give a try!
Thank you anyway!

Dont lock your phone with the default windows lock.....(use S2U2)
I know its strange but this helps, and do restart your phone every third day....
Issue Not Solved, but figured out
The HTC opal is sort of incompatible with certain carriers around the world, and this issue does not apply to all opals, only some of them have an issue. For example my phone has this issue with Airtel in my country. The phone seems to work fine with every other carrier. I think I might have to change my damn network again!
is it possible to turn off the thread view in opal??pls hlp

Strange problem (can't be called)

Well as the titel says,
since about 1 week I'm facing the problem that i can't receive calls when my phone is locked.
I found a similar thread which is saying thats because of a signal-loss. The strange thing is, that i do have full signal!
If my phone isn't locked all is fine and i get calls, it's only when it's locked. If somebody is trying to call me, only mailbox is answering and just in time i get a sms that there are missed calls.
Does somebody else have this problem, or an idea how to fix this?
btw. I'm on faria rom v5.1. and don't rly want to chance the rom, as I'm pretty happy with this one (except this problem)...
Thanks for your help in advance
cheers, Rob
I have similar problem. No only can't be called, also i can't place calls. It is a strange situation because after restart i have no network. After 2 or 3 restarts i have network. I can't find a solution yet. I sent back to service my phone under warranty and they told me that the situation described by me is not confirmed. In service phone is working normally.

Custom Rom problems with Jellaxy / active diverts & erased text messages

Hi,
I normally am a Symbian modder, but sometimes people ask me stuff about their Androids and occassionally I try to help out.
But this time I am stuck.
I flashed two 5830's with Jellyblast v3.03 and one of each phone have different problems
- the first is always not available for phone calls. it always says the line is busy when you call it. I tried ##002#, and even changing the active diverts in settings, but it keeps on switching back the way it was
Any idea's?
- the second has the problem... as soon as it receives an text message it erases it immediatly. It gives me the signal for an sms, and it shows in the small popup in topbar for a second, that I received a text message and then it's gone
Can anybody help?
thanks

Hi freaxs_r_us!
You should find the exact name of the phones, there are a lot of them starting with 5830 and with one letter more, and then choose the corrects ROMs for them in their threads.
If not, you can brick the phones or have a lot of problems.
Good luck!
P.S.I don't know if that's your issue, if you gave more information the answer could be better.

Hi freaxs_r_us!
You have posted in the wrong thread, the thread for s5830i is Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
As I told you, that "one letter difference" could brick your phones -they need different software as s5830-.
Good luck.
