NOTE 3 not picking up 3G signal. - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everyone,
It's my first time i post on this forum, i am a noob.
In brief i just brought an GALAXY NOTE 3 (SM-N9005) a week ago from a seller but just yesterday i realized that my phone work only on GSM and can t pick up 3G signal at all even if i am in a area where there is cover. i searched the net hours and hours but didn t find a clear answer.
Please can someone figure out what is the problem and how to fix it.
Here are my information:
I am from Morocco,my operator is MEDITEL(i tried others operators here "INWI" and "IAM" it doesn t work either no 3G signal ), my Note 3 is under KitKat 4.4.2,
For more information about the phone look at the screenshots in the attachement.
The phone is STOCK not ROOTED i didn t mess anything yet.
The phone is from Spain and the carrier is Orange because at boot the is the orange boot logo.
It will be soo nice if anybody can help me. I really like my phone but if it doesn t work like it should its a shame. Here in morocco high end smartphones are expensive and no warranty unless you buy it from from samsung store where is more expensive.

Did you enter the APN settings?

Yes it might be the problem with CSC, but:
- Did you try your SIM card with another smartphone and have success with the 3G connection?
- In the Phone INFO *Samsung* app, enter the Menu and select [Note 3] Fake Detector, tell me what does it say? What is the Diag Code?

1- This error related to my app. I will fix it soon. Sorry about that.
2- There is a big chance that your phone is a refurbished one. Because it has NONE manufacturing date, and the IMEI does not match with the one on the label.
Can you PM me full info from the Phone INFO app?
---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------
I have looked at your screenshots you sent me.
Your device doesnt have manufacturing date and hardware revision info, so the big chance is that your phone is a refurbished one.
If you can return it to the shop where you bought, I think it is the best choice for you now.
Sorry to say about that.

Hi mate,
I've just updated my app.
Could you please update the app from Play Store (v1.5.0), then enter the Menu and select '[Note 3] Fake Detector', and check for the Diag Code again?
Thank you.

I called the seller and he told me to bring back the phone so he can find what is the problem. For returning the phone i don t think he will accept, firstly ther is no warranty and secondly the phone was sealed with samsung,he didn t open the box then its not he's fault.
If he didn't fix it i will just live without 3G
Thanks a lot vndnguyen and sorry for wasting your time. Btw flashing another modem (CSC) wouldn't fix it?

can you please be more specific. You can use only 3/4G no 2G?or what?
My problem is when i switch to 3G only, i get "Selected network unavailable" even if i am in an area with 3G cover

Hi!
I have same problem.
I Live in Finland. 3 month I used DNA operator, was all perfect. Now I connect to Sonera and work only 2G connection.
I flashed 3 different ROM, flashed 2 different modem ROM, finally I flashed 4 files Poland ROM and use it like it is.
2G worked propertly, 3G don't connect.:crying:
Mobile broadband work correct at all settings.
Can't find way out...

Mobile Network not Available!

Hey Guys,
Just by chance, I found a cracked note 3 on the street today and brought it home. the screen all works but one problem is that I can't seem to connect to any mobile network. It is a Note 3 SM-N9005 which seems to have originally come from Vodafone australia.
The original sim was in it but it doesn't connect and I tried my Optus sim which also did not work. I tried to register on the network in the settings menu but it would just load and then not do anything. The settings show that it is disconnected from a network but still gets a signal.
When I try to call it also says mobile network unavailable! I have done a google search but to no avail. Most info is American but I am an Australian user.
I also get a circle icon with a dash through it in the status bar where there should be a network icon? I haven't owned many Samsungs before, so I would appreciate your help!!
I have attached some screenshots which show more info. CAN SOMEBODY HELP? I would really like to ressurect this awesome device! And if I succeed, then it will replace my current daily HTC One M7. THANKS in advance!
and no the phone is not stolen, i'm telling the truth. phone was reset and there is no evidence of any owner info. tried searching for google account, facebook account and that samsung apps account thing but nothing was there.

Why don`t you take it to the police, if you `found` it. I`am sure the original owner will appreciate that, as would you

[Q] Not registered on network

Hi there!
I bought a Galaxy Note III in Thailand, unlocked, and I am trying to use it in India, Vodafone. Data is working perfectly but when I try to register it on network is not possible. I already went to the company and replaced the sim card. Same problem. When I was in Thailand it worked perfectly, even I tried in Nepal and it was working 100% too, so phone is ok. Somewhere I read there is a new system to avoid bringing phones form one country to another. Some help would be apreciate. Thanks in advance. Be happy

maybe you should try another network sim card or go into the settings and search for networks and then hit automatic
Then maybe you both need to flash your own regions rom?
Check your imei number, does it different from under the battery? Your phone probably been injected with superimei which did not work with gsm mode (it work in wcdma). You need to find a repair shop which has the SPT BOX to repair your gsm connection.

my IMEI matches the one on the physical phone so all good there?
its not rooted as i downloaded root checker and i restored it back to factory twice...
i just want service it does not make calls or texts. everything else is fine..

Go to settings>>more netowrks>>mobile networks>>network operators..let it search then choose Telus, if it works you should see a message "registered on network" watch for it because it disappears after a few seconds.
The other thing you should check is that the network is actually up, not sure which part of the country you are in but you might want to check the Telus site to make sure they aren't just having network issues.... happened in Calgary a few months ago....
Also check network mode in settings should be set to lte/wcdma/gsm lol I set mine to GSM only and nothing worked....

Just a silly question but did the sim click into place or can it just slide ot? When it is properly in place, you should have to push it in to eject it.

So having further checked into the phone, the IMEI is blacklisted and reported lost or stolen.... That's why it worked at first and now does not!

[Q] can't connect to mobile network

Hi I purchased an s5 that was a few days old 2nd hand. I checked everything out on check mend and everything was fine, few days after purchase, phone will not connect to my network or the 02 network with any Sim. I spoke to 02 and they tell me the phone is not blocked or stolen. I also got a receipt from the guy I bought it from, but like I say it worked fine for a few days then this happened and now nothing. I managed to reg the phone with Samsung, although I do not know if I can get away with a warranty repair, as I am the 2nd to own it, even though it really was new when I purchased it. Anyway, any help would be Greatly appreciated.
The provided info was not enough to investigate the cause of the problem.
What you have done or installed or changed in these few days
Forgive me, I am new to this.
I have tried both 02 sim and a giff gaff(my provider) sim in the handset and nothing works. I am going to pick up another sim this morning to test that also(different carrier). Both Sims i have already tried work in other phones fine. The giff gaff sim when I put it into my daughters s3, works perfectly and calls can be made and received.
I was considering flashing another stock ROM just to eliminate software, I have opened a support ticket with giff gaff, who have said the sim is fully active.
Just trying to add bits that are useful here, the imei of the phone is fine and shows up as being there and not null, everything else on the phone seems fine also in terms of usage, I did have mobile data, which for some reason I can't seem to get now, but I did re write the APN, so will re put it to the original. Just won't register on network.
Anything I have missed or you need please ask. I am a noob, although I have flashed a few ROMs without issue after lots of reading. Should also add, the phone is completely stock, nothing messed with in any way. Sm-g900f. Xxu1ang2.
Thanks in advance.

Enter the code *#0011# and check the last line, IMEI CERT = PASS or something else?
APN is not required at this step (register to the network).

Hi, that code brings me am error" not registered on network" although I now have a data connection again on 02 and am at least getting 3 bars on the analogue signal, just not registering. I have just put in a Vodafone sim, which it recognises as it pop s up and allows me to select Vodafone pay as you go, but still does not register. Icon Just keeps spinning.

Hi,the phone is not rooted, those codes you gave give "not registered on network", i have factory reset the device a couple of times now.It is actually my daughters phone and was working fine, she turned it off whilst at college and then turned it on and it seemed to not allow calls and texts from then after about a weeks use, 5-7 days.

Since you have factory reset and it does not help, try to relash the stock frimware.
Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, go to the Menu 'Firmware Browser' to download the desire firmware, and flash using Kies or Odin.

Hi, thanks for responding so quickly, that was my next move in all honesty, just seems weird. so there is nothing that stands out in the quote? my wife also has an s5 and where the quote from the first code given, hers said "available" where mine states limited., just thought i would add that incase it meant something.
Thanks for all the help.:good:
sorry for the delay, it would not let me reply to the other post as i am junior and there was a link in it, so i had to respond this way, excellent app by the way, many thanks for linking it. I am going to have to thank you, i do not know how, but i will have a search, you have been most helpful.

I just ran another check mend report, after being told it was not blocked by 02, it now appears that it has been blocked and reported as lost / stolen.
Anyone any ideas on where to go with this?
I have receipt, 2 check mend reports, 1 clear and 1 not, clearly an insurance swindle going on, phone companies not interested

Refurbished and China seems Frankestein.
If it's a Frankenstein as Joku1981 suggests, run, don't walk, and get your money back.

what can i do now please help me. i upload pic about samsung info.
It's clearly not a Frankenstein, so that's good news. What carrier are you using?
In the first pic at the last line you can read imei cert:NA that mean that your phone has loose its imei certificat.
so you can return it and have your money back or give it to a sepecialized shop to push a new certificat with a box
PS: i have an i9500 and mine show : Imei cert: fail
@sentinelle20: "IMEI Certi: NA" is normal on the S4. I can confirm this because my S4 has the same readout and yet it works perfectly. On the S5 it may make a difference. See here for details.
Ok ggod to know...
in my working i9500 the last line says imei cert : pass

If you've tried multiple SIM cards in the S4 and all of them aren't working, then you definitely have a hardware issue. Either the SIM card tray has died or the fault lies in the motherboard. From experience, replacing the SIM card tray is both the least expensive route and the easiest, being something that you can do yourself. Replacement trays cost about US$10, a small phillips screwdriver, a half hour of your time, and the foam pad that sits on top of the connector of the original tray.
You purchased this as a refurb unit however, so you should have a warranty of some sort. Take it back to where you got it from and have them look at it.
