Galaxy S4 Constant Reboots!!!

Hi all, I have had my galaxy s4 I9500 for 4 weeks now and running completely on stock rom I9500UBUAMDK. Only recently I have been having problems with the phone rebooting 3-4 times a day in my pocket! This is getting very frustrating and need an urgent fix! I have already factory reset the phone and there's no warranty as I purchased my phone online and unlocked. If anyone else is having the same problem or could give me advice, please share. Thanks!

There is a known problem , with too many apps open, and when camera is launched, the phone will reboot.

Check to see if you still have your imei or not... That's probably the reason, you lost your efs/imei...
If that's the case then if your made a efs backup like you should have,restore it. If not, try flashing stock.

Did you test your sim card and make sure it is ok? Try to out this sim card into another phone and make sure it works? Put another gud sim card into your Note 3 and check if the problem still persist?
Dial *#0011# and check for the RX, TX value? Can you post this screenshot here?

Samsung is really crap with customer service

Here the screenshoot

Anybody please

No Network neither
Hi everyone,
i got almost the same problem. My SM-N9005 was on the Standard TouchWiz Rom (4.3, rooted) when i updated to 4.4.2 via Kies and rooted it again.
Now my Phone shows me signal bars but tells me "Emergency calls only". I still have my IMIE.
I reflashed the stock ROM but that did not fix my problem sadly.
Hope you can help me!
UPDATE:
I reflashed the stock recovery once again and factory reset/wiped the data and now it somehow works again. Maybe that helps
UPDATE 2:
It seems like that was just working for a short moment, now after flashing the X-Note ROM (and Kernel) the "not registered in Network" message comes again though i got like 4 bars. The bars just are random somehow and jump up and down every few seconds.
Another Update:
While charging the phone (via PC or via the original Charger) i get a Message that it stopped charging because the battery temperature is too low. I Hope nothing went physically wrong?

your note 3 seems to be unlocked by SPT box or BST dongle
select wcdma/gsm or 3g/2g in mobile network and your network will connect
hope this helps:fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the reply, but my I bought my note 3 unlocked and new from my carrier and havent changed anything regarding the IMIE.
I was thinking about the modem beeing broke down while i updated to kitkat, and therefore flashing a new one. Any ideas on that?

No used all these solutions nothing :s

Did you update to 4.4.2 too? Because thats when mine stopped working. Maybe its the update that destroyed somehting, for the AT&T versions they had quite some problems as i read online...

If everything else fails try to write in Odin (or better yet in Mobile Odin Pro) just the modem - and aim for an older version, something like MI6 (present in MI7 firmware) or MJ1. With Mobile Odin Pro you MUST be on stock recovery and it will work perfectly first time, with normal Odin there are some reports that you might need to write it twice or something like that - search around.

Tried that, had the same problems with the MI6, and with the MJ1 it got stock when i tried to unlock it...I was on the Xnote ROM though, Ill once again will try flashing the stock rom...

did you try another sim card ?

Sadly, the sim card works in my Note 2 without any problems... I think its sth that got physically destroyed somehow. When i plug it into the charger is says "stopped charging battery too cold"

phone sent out for repair.
Ill keep you informed on what the issue is/was.

So i've send in my phone for repair after it didnt work again (no network), they did not find anything and send it back to me. Then it all of a sudden worked for like half a week (I flashed Xnote B.15 right away ) Now i have the same error again, it suddenly stopped working again though i did not install/change anything...
I hope someone gets a solution for that, else ill say goodbye Samsung and Knox and hello Sony/HTC or w/e my next phone will be...

Thx, but sending it to the US for repair is a bit too expensive for me. Ill just try to get sth. from my insurance and then buy a different phone then.

[Q] GT-I9505 IMEI Null

Hi everyone, I have a huge problem in my hands and wanted some guidance from you guys.
Recently I bought the GT-I9505 in the US and then I moved back to Brazil, once I got here I got an update OTA from 4.2.2 to 4.
After this update my network signal was gone , then after some research I found out that my IMEI number is lost. When I dia *#06# it appears that the IMEI is Null. My question is , is there any way of fixing it or is my phone gone forever? If I send it to mobile phone service is it possible that they fix it?
Thanks in advance guys... This forum is incredibly helpful

S4 does not recognize my sim card

Hello guys,
I have a rooted S4 with Knox Flag and a custom rom which really worked well. But now i do not understand why i am getting a pop up which says that the phone can not recognize my sim card and wants to restart. First it just came some times. Now it totally does not find my sim card. I also bought a new card reader and built it in but i have the same problem.
I also tried to bring everything to Stock but this either doesn't worked.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Musti

Reflash STOCK ROM and tell me if works ok. Looks like a hardware problem anyway.

Things you can do.
-Flash stock again.
OR
Update your modem.
maybe its hardware related. go to phone repair shops if they can help you.

Hey,
so I flashed the stock rom via Odin but it is still the same problem.
What do you mean with updating the modem? Maybe I should read and try that out thanks!

Hi mate ,
The problem may be in the EFS partition , do you have an EFS back up? if not you may have to take it to a local service shop , you need a Z3X box or similar to fix it.

IMEI Null / null / Baseband Unknown

Hello there..
Long story short, I bought a Note 3 SM-9005 LTE version from eBay.
The seller said the following:
Before upgrading to Android L 5.0 (Leak) the phone was fine (fully working, SIM working, etc)
After upgrading to Android L 5.0 (Leak) the phone was still fine but.. the SIM card stopped working. Actually, it stopped completely recognizing SIM cards. Also the IMEI turned into null/null and baseband into unknown (something that he didn't tell me.. and of course I found out alone)
Facts: *#1234# = Everything except the modem. It only shows the rest 2 but not the modem.
Also when I saw that the IMEI is null/null I remembered that the IMEI is available behind the battery (there's a label) but guess what.. it was removed..
Conclusions:
A) The phone was stolen by someone (Only the phone came no S-pen, Box, Charger, etc)
B) He indeed messed up with his phone and something got destroyed/corrupted. I don't know.
So I am asking you what can I do right now.. I really need to find a fix otherwise I'm opening a dispute case so I can take my money back.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I've done this already.. just forgot to write it as tears were falling while I was posting.. (kidding)
Just forgot to write it. But yeah, still doesn't work. Currently It's at 4.4.2 KK.

I talked with Samsung as well just now. Tomorrow a representative will connect to my NOTE3 to see what's going on.
Until then, could you guys suggest me what to do? I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Updates
Just got my phone back from the repair shop. This guy told me that it has an antenna so this is not the problem.
Now I am thinking.. could it be locked from the company that sold this phone? (O2 - Germany I think) should I install their firmware?
