  1. . . . does the GS3 have a LTE only mode?. . .

     

    I don't know if this works on the GS3, but on my Photon Q, I go into Phone, dial *#*#4636#*#* and that takes me to a "Testing" page. I go into "Phone Information," scroll towards the bottom, and click on the dropdown menu. There, I found many connection choices, including an option for "LTE only."

     

    "LTE only" means exactly that, so make sure to memorize and/or write down that *#*#4636#*#* code.

     

    Edit/disclaimer: Don't shoot me if this messes up your phone.

  2. It happens for me once a month on average I would say. It can be any one of 2-3 different tones I hear. One is a noise that is similar to what I hear in absolute silence but is slowly amplified (hard to explain) then suddenly goes away. Another is a distinct frequency that is lower than that. It comes and goes quickly (maybe lasts 10-15 seconds).

     

    It is quite random when they occur, I have gone months and months without hearing them then sometimes I hear them a couple times in the same week.

     

    It happens so rarely and sporadically though that it doesn't bother me much. Should I be concerned?

     

    Just stay away from loud music, or wear ear plugs. :)

  3. Only if your ears are cable of hearing such a high frequency noise. In which case life is probably quite interesting for you. Sometimes my ears move out of tune and I hear strange tones myself. I have been hearing them since I was 5 or 6, the frequency is far to high for me to be able to hear usually but I don't know what i'm hearing.

     

    My case is a little different and happened as I got older. It's called tinnitus.

  4. A couple of hours ago, I drove, with Sensorly, to the 4G-complete Homestead tower at SW 104 ave and 248 street.

     

    As I went east on 248 street, no sign of 4G, even as I'm almost right at the tower. So, I did the airplane mode on-off thing, and that did the trick. :) I continued east on 248 st until I reached 97 ave, made a U-turn and drove to 112 ave. Turned north until 4G disappeared around 220 street. Turned around and tried to recapture 4G.

     

    4G never came back. I lost count of how many times I went in and out of airplane mode, even as I was right by the tower. Not sure how to interpret that. :scratch: Too bad, as I really wanted to explore that area.
