As of this moment I totally hate my S3. I'm hoping that somebody might be able to help me with at least one of these issues. The main problem now is the gmail syncing after reset.
It might be that there is some issue with my phone...where I need a new one but who knows.
I keep losing service, or it randomly with disconnect from my wifi for no apparent reason.
Pandora kept 'stopped working' 30 times in five minutes where I literally had to uninstall the thing.
It will send my texts 5 times to somebody randomly. Sometimes I won't get texts until hours later. Or won't get phone calls either or at all.
Called Radioshack tech support---because that's where I got my phone from. They suggested factory reset. I made sure to save and set all my contacts and stuff to my google account so I wouldn't lose it all.
Did factory reset and even when syncing my google account, still nothing in my contacts.
Tried everything to get my contacts back up and I got nothing.
Removed my google account from sync and factory reset it again.
added google account again w/ sync...still nothing in my contacts.
Finally, I notice that when sending a text and typing in the recipients name...some of my old contacts ARE visible. But they do not show up in my contacts "app"...or when using the phone. Or normally searching through contacts....only when searching a recipient directly in messaging.
Also...it's only coming up with some of my contacts not all of them. I've noticed that the only contacts that are still in there are ones I added to my old phone within the last year. Older contacts that are years old...are completely missing.
I'm beyond frustrated at this point and any advice would be greatly appreciated!
