signal question - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a note 3 9005. i don't have a sim in the phone but when i turned the phone on it shows signal bars but says no service. Is this normal or is there an issue with the reader?

I would not worry about it.
The same thing happened with my N8000.

Mine does that too, I just took it to mean I had full emergency signal...
The signal is utterly rubbish here, so it wasn't a big leap.

You do realize there's a 500 euro fine for dialling the emergency number without an emergency...

Hook, line and sinker. You get signal as it needs to be able to make emergency calls regardless.

Hi there,
had this problem with other roms and devices. In the end I used a different rom.
So, sorry to say, found no solution.

Where your cell signal is.. Your bars. So it works sometimes? Have you tried flashing another ROM to see if the problem goes away?

Xperia Z1s from Tmobile

Quick question is there going to be a new thread for this device, the Tmobile Z1s? Also do any of the rooting,unlocking, and or any custom recoveries and roms work with the Z1s?

No sub forum for Z1s, no unlock bootloader, no root, no cutom recovery as of yet. And no you can't use international Z1 stuff,itll brick your device.

Thanks, good to know as I was planning on flashing the generic Canada firmware hoping to get rid of some restrictions (tethering) and bloatware.

Ah that's a bummer. Just swapped out my Z for the Z1s today and of course I'm came here first to see how to go about getting other FW on it for those exact reasons. Hopefully patience will pay off.
I have a question for Xperia z1S owners. Does this phone have hardware support for FM Transmitting? I don't have a car with an aux cable or Bluetooth so.. All of the music on my phone is inaccessible when I'm driving. But I'm hoping that the FM receiver can be made to transmit either natively or via 3rd party app?
I personally have the Z1s, and it has a built-in FM chip. You have to have a aux cable plugged into the 3.5mm jack for it to work though.

Why can't we get a sub-forum? There is like 4 different forums for the Galaxy S4 and the different carriers, same for Note III? There is enough difference between Z1 international and Z1s to warrant difference.

Ah but can you transmit to your cars radio onto an unused radio station? I know it can receive radio, but can it transmit your music through unused FM stations?

Just gave mine a shot. Turned it on, called my friend once the blue phone icon was up, icon turned green, call connected and worked fine. Afterwards I got a pop up saying congratulations you just completed your first wifi call.

I read something about it not working if you don't have a 911 address on file. Mine works wonderfully btw. No more buzz from my n4
My only issue is the led is weird. Hads different colors depending on the angle

Do you have an old sim or your 911 address not updated on your account? One of them could be the reason. Go to a tmobile store they will fix it up for you.

Low Frequency Beep During Calls

Is anyone else having any issues with the speaker when they are making calls on there S5? Whenever I'm talking with someone on the phone every 4 or 5 seconds I hear a low frequency beep the lasts about 1.5-2 seconds and then it goes away... After another 4 or 5 seconds it does it again. I really hope it's a software issue as I don't want to send my new phone in for a repair already.

I will have to try contacting Samsung about the problem. I will let you know what they say. I doubt target would do a straight exchange on the device.

Try disabling CARRIER IQ or removing it if you are rooted and then check for the beep afterwards see if it's gone and let us know what your results.

Well if you are not rooted go into settings then backup and reset and then collect diagnostics and uncheck it and this theoretically turns it off, now if you are rooted you can install root explorer open it up make sure that you are mounted as rw then search the root directory for carrier iq and delete it this removes it from the device.

The first thing I did was disable carrier iq when I got my s5 and after seeing this post I made a call to check for the noise and I dont hear it so maybe the carrier iq thing is the ticket.

Sorry.. but what exactly do you mean by "disable carrier iq"? Cause I'm a real newbie when it comes to doing administrative stuff to your phone...
I also thought that it maybe could be worth Factory reseting your phone? But I've got a lot of settings and stuff that I don't want to do again.. but if it's really needed I'll do it.

I tried that. But I'm afraid it did not work.. The annoying sound is still active. But the weird thing is that sometimes and on some calls it's occures very often and being annoying as hell.. and then again it can be off for like another call that lasts 30min+.. I hope that it's the phones own speaker that's broken or something..
Haha I hope you're wrong.. I really hope it's related to carrier iq

Yeah. I tried all of them regular settings. Minutebeep, noise reduction etc.. The sound kept going. But I also noticed that when I connected my headphones and talked trough them that there was no annoying sound.. so I guess it's something with the phones own speaker.
But I put the phone on service today after 11 days of usage... lol. Hope they'll fix it!
I don't hear the issue when I'm using bluetooth in my car either. That being said I'm pretty sure it's a issue with the speaker in the phone. Time to swap it out for another device!

So Undergrad.. are you really swapping it in for another phone? They actually gave me that option.. but I kind of said no.. I just wanted my phone to work 100%.. maybe it was a stupid choice..

Target is ordering me a new device and hopefully it resolves the issue. It certainly appears that the issue is with the speaker.

yeah i had a feeling i shouldnt even have bothered then
been on the phone for 30 minutes now, still no resolution. Unreal. Physically impossible to do anything on the phone with AT*T that takes less than 20-30 minutes, apparently. One time i spent like 2 hours on the phone.
edit: after 45 minutes she gave up. said she'd call back and did not. LOL!
guess i'll try again tomorrow....maybe

[Q] Cannot get a signal AT ALL

Please help!!! I can't get a mobile signal for the life of me. I get wifi and LTE, but no 2G or 3G??? I've factory resetted, flashed modems only, tried different roms. Everything. I'm starting to think it might be the hardware. If anyone has any knowledge, please share. As of now I'm back on NAE baseband since the NG2 upgrade started all this. Or maybe it was mobile odin. IDK it was one of those.
I would rather have lte than 2 or 3g. You could always change the settings for mobile networks to only pick up 3g and see if that works.
