[Q] Modems & Note 3 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

anyone here with a BT modem in the uk having problems with their note 3?
ive been having problems with my wifi on my note 3.. and i put in a request for a new one.. today i was using a hotspot however and it was working fine.. when i got back home and connected to my BT modem it was having issues.. where it would drop the connection constantly.. im wondering if its my phone or the modem.. tried resetting the modem but its the same thing.. disabled every option on the phones wifi options.. same issue..

Mine is exactly the same thought it was me ill try getting a replacement. Was convinced it was my broadband. Thanks

I have to CONSTANTLY toggle data on AT&T for it to work

So I got my nexus 4 about a week ago, i havent flashed any roms or anything, everything is stock.
Im having this issue where every time i want to use the internet/facebookapp/anyinternetapp i have to toggle the data on and off for it to work again otherwise my data doesnt work.
What can i do to fix this? This is extremely frustrating
What are your APN settings?

Make sure your APN protocol only has the value "ipv6". Perhaps you see this mentioned in a recent post...

Uk here.. dial *#*#4636#*#* set phone network from wcdma prefered to LTE/GSM-PRL, turn radio off then back on .. now even though they are the wrong settings it's the only way i can can decent 3G(H) speeds and not have the minute or two 3G lockups... shrugs.
I have the same issue and I'm with Tmobile. I was on stock ROM and now im rooted on xylon ROM but still data wont connect sometimes . I made new apns too. I have to toggle data or power cycle to connect

WiFi issues on 5ghz band only

I purchased the blue S4 from Best buy about a month ago. It lasted 3 days and then started giving me errors (like authentication error occurred or disconnected due to slow network) when using my Wifi on the 5ghz band only. The 2.4ghz always seems fine. I have to use 5ghz though because our baby monitor kills the 2.4ghz band. I took it back to Best buy got another one. That one lasted about 17 days and then I started to get the same Wifi issue.
So last night I went back again and got another one. The Wifi issue started within hours. Im on my 3rd one now.
I have reset the router to factory. I tried with an open network (no password required) and still get the same errors.
To top it off, my wife has the purple S4 and she has no issues at all.
I'm torn at what to do. Get a 4th one, try another color, or go back to the htc one.

I've been getting the same error lately as well. I just picked up my dual band router thinking it'd be a good update from my old 802.11g one. I'm not sure it's the phone or some settings I have to dig through to make things work?!
Pretty annoying right now though.

I picked up my 4th S4 tonight. So far it's going well. I had them give me the oldest one they could find. It had 4.2.2 on it. I updated to 4.3 but im afraid to take the MK2 update. That may be what kills the wifi.

I read somewhere that turning off WMM cuts your router speed down to 54mb
Here is another update. Im now on my 4th one. It started dropping the 5ghz band again so i took the mk2 update. Still cant stay connected to the 5ghz ban.
So tonight i took back my netgear n900 router and upgraded to the netgear ac6300. Nice router but no change. It connects fine to 2.4 but not 5.
My wifes purple s4 still is cruising along without problems on 5ghz.
I have been trying to duplicate this issue in my home, I have not been able to except when I use the same channel as my neighbor. Have any of you used WIFI Analyzer from the Market to make sure you are not receiving drops due to another carrier over riding your own? Also, if you have a ROKU 3 in your home check the channel as well, I have seen this cause some problems. My channel is on 161 with with QOS WMM support on.

I did use WIFI Analyzer and I don't have anyone around me with 5ghz networks to even worry about. Last night with the new router, I updated to the latest firmware, tried WMM on or off, tried with and without a password, and I tried multiple channels. I could not connect to 5ghz for the life of me.
Logged into the 2.4ghz and it connected in less than a second. I just don't get it.
I'd like to find out why this happening too. I've played around with all the router settings as well and no dice. I have a netgear ac1200 and it'd be nice to use the 5ghz

Guys, I've been having the same issue and just gave up a few months ago, just working off the 2.4. I realized it's not the router, when I was in the car trying to use the Hotspot and no one could connect. They were able to before all this started. After fiddling with it for quite a while I realized that it was transmitting at 5ghz. I switched to 2.4 and everything came up. Definitely the phone.
I got the same problem with my note 3 (n9005) on every rom since 5.0.
I can see the AC WiFis, but I'm unable to connect. It makes no difference, choosing another channel or trying it in another network.
The behaviour: it tries to connect, (connecting..) after not even a half second, it just falls back into the state like I newer tried to connect (password is saved, and it don't says, it's a wrong password entered.) If I enter a wrong password, it tells me to reenter the correct password.
Any suggestions, what it could be?..
Thanks in advance

[Q] wifi problems with the note 3 please help

Hello people
Im having problems with my new galaxy note 3
I bought it online completely new (online store)
The problems i have now ... when im on wifi, it disconnects and eats my internet bundle i have from my provider..
and every time i need to fill in the password again when im at my perents house.
When im at my own house it just disconnects for no reason and goes on on my internet bundle, i have 1 gig internet bundle and the result of this **** is that within 6 days ive used 700 mb's ... still need to work my way through 23 resting days..
so the big question, what can i do with this problem.
First of all disable your mobile data from settings or notification panel.
I dont think there is any problem with your phone. Just check if your saving password for the wifi network.
For your home, some wifi networks require additional settings to work properly, that might solve your problem.

Galaxy S5 no service

For the past week I've been having problems with network. It keeps showing No Service for a couple of minutes, and I can't receive calls/messages in the meantime. I attached a screenshot
I tried to google "Galaxy s5 no service" and there is a post on technobezz.com where they say to enter Service mode by dialing code *#*#4636#*#* but it didn't work for me
I contacted my service provider (Rogers), they reset network settings and I thought it fixed the issue as it was working fine for a couple of hours but then it started doing same thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I noticed it was only happening when I was connected to wifi at work.
Somehow, it worked itself out . And working fine now... knocking on the wood

Friends of mine were at my house over the weekend and he had a samsung s4 and had the same problem after logging onto my wifi. It is the wifi causing the problem. I had an old modem and netgear router that we hooked up and then we were able to receive calls like you should. We switched out the modem/router combo on Sat to my older setup and my phone is still working normally! I called my dsl provider and told them about the problem as I just bought the modem/router combo from them recently.
They never heard of anything like this. I do find it hard to believe that the home wifi equipment disrutes the cell phone signal. But my phone is now working!!! Anyone ever heard of this or that can explain why this would happen I would love to hear about it.
I was having the same problem and what fixed mine was going to settings>more networks>mobile networks>network operators,, once the scan finishes I had 2 networks named the same ( in my case EE) I then just tried the other EE network and up to yet its all working , hope this helps and you all get yours fixed :good:
