haydins4: But i i pull the plug half out and work i dont think it nornal?? Nah that's just mono. Sounds like a hardware fault. Try getting something soft and brushing the inside of the jack. Could be just dust dirt in around the contacts. - Telstra HTC Touch Pro2 - Energy ROM WM6.5.5 20 Oct/Cyanogen Mod Froyo 2.2 - R.I.P - AT&T Galaxy S Captivate 16GB on XT (now with brother) - Samsung Galaxy S2 on XT- Runs ICS 4.0.3 Resurrection Remix 9.2 - Business Hours - Work In The Electricity Industry, After Hours - DJ/Turntablist - Will Scratch Vinyl For Free' - What's next???

@johnR What the heck is wrong with Vodafone network today? Can't make any calls or text from my S3. So I did all the tweaks and even had to reflashed the phone just to be sure. Thought it was my phone but my work phone HD7 is having the same issue. Sms failed to sent and had to bloody reboot the phone multiple times to get the connection. I had to put it on flight mode at times then enabling it back to get connected. What the hell. What a terrible service. I managed to get through to 777 but after waited 15mins on waiting list then to find out that the phone ring and the operator on the other end hang up on me. Ftw! Please forward this feed back to the Vodafone network guys that it is terrible.

I heard something on the radio today about Vodafone upgrading something and 3G or something along those lines was out.

SMS took 15mins to send sometimes and most of the time it puke back out. I have to keep resend it many times to get through. At least text all the customers that they are doing some rework and expect some errors. Instead of me running around trying to find the issue. Been like this all day already for me.

Please stop junking up the S3 thread with Vodafone network issues. Should have created a new thread in Vodafone forum for this. Cheers.

Didn't want to register on Vodafone forum. It was related to my Galaxy S3 though, I first thought it was my phone's fault. But now we all know it's not. Anyway, anyone tried 4.1.2 leaked yet?
