Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] Getting really irritated ...

Ok, so, I have a BRAND NEW S3, i got it like 3 weeks ago....I have a question. Why the hell does my phone stop working randomly (signal wise) I have full bars and 4g and yet it wont do anything!!!! Wth did I just $500 for!?! Im about tho throw this phone! -_- I have to restart my phone regularly about every 2hrs to get it to work..stock rom/rooted/debloated.
 
Nothing Google i know that, just the metro 411 and metro navigator and junk ...

It doesnt have to be google app related, reason i ask cause on the esteem bluetooth was tied in with music widget and if music widget got deleted than BT would FC. But you can try flashing my backup recovery or shabby .tar file using odin, and run it for a day and see if you still have the same problems. If the problem is fix try deleting 1 app at a time to see whats causing the problem.

Easy wifi, @metro, Rapshody can be delete as soon as your back to stock.

you can use the one the inverted gappas and place it in /system/app/ and make sure you change permission to -rw-r-r and reboot the phone.

Mine has been doing that too. I am rooted, but never deleted any apps, at all. Just rooted my phone. It shows 4G and a few bars, but I go to any app, like FB, or Twitter.. It opens, but when I try to refresh it, it gives me an "error" message. I even try to turn Mobile Data off/on, and still. Airplane mode doesnt help either. Always end up restarting my phone. Happens at least once a day :/
