Note 3 Wifi Problems - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Friendly Verizo Rep - BBM: ThatOneGuyJavy

Hey everyone if you are still currently experiencing wifi problems on your note 3 device please try wiping your cache via recovery menu. This should help with your device always saying that your wifi connection is unstable
Friendly Verizo Rep - BBM: ThatOneGuyJavy

That does not help. Both me and my wife have note 3's and both have the sane problem with unstable wifi. We have tried everything from wiping cache fresh reset on phone new router nothing helps. Other devices working note 8 2 laptops daughters iPad. This unstable wifi is starting to get very annoying. Nobody (verizon Samsung) has no information on this problem.

Sorry about the issues bro and yeah I know it is very annoying trust me. It has helped my device but as they say what may work for you may not work for someone else unfortunately. Hopefully a permanent solution will be found really soon. I just had to bump up my plan to the 10gb plan

Well you would think spending this kind of money a phone you woouldnt have to worry about such problems. Maybe it's verizon wanting customers to use more data or purchase more data like you stated above. Well it's not gonna happen.

On my Note 3 (running 4.3), turning off the Bluetooth solved the problem.
I have searched the web and there are lots of folks complaining about this and related problems on Notes and Galaxy S's of all carriers. Android 4.3 may be the culprit.
I'll bet that tens of thousands of hours of user and customer Rep. time has been wasted on this. Samsung should put out a notice acknowledging the problem and forecasting a timeframe to fix it.

I really dislike how the Nexus 4 can't do simple things well

Such as staying connected to my WiFi, or my cellular data connection, or being able to reliably turn Bluetooth on and off. Seriously, these are the things that should just work. On every other phone I've ever owned I've never had a problem with any of these things, let alone all three.
Overall I like the N4 and the positives outweigh the negatives and I plan to keep it for quite a while. But I sure hope these basic things will be corrected in an update soon.
I can help you with that. There is a app that will make you life very easy, it's called "power toggles"
Download it, try out this widget and then thank me later. Hope it helps!

I have never suffered this wifi issue, i don`t think it is caused by the phone but by the router. My wifi connections are rock steady and i never loose connections.
I hate when ppl think their problems are affecting the world. I have 0 of the issues you report.
I use wifi and bluetooth all day every day. Nothing wrong with it at all.
Do a search, you'll find your boat is awfully empty. You need to look at your wireless set up and your bluetooth device is prolly junk.

Agreed. Try a factory reset on both phone and router. Also if it's a netgear router I've heard bad things.

Can you be more specific on how/when you get these errors? I'm not experiencing any of these problems on my Nexus 4 and I use both WiFi and Bluetooth regularly.
We can help you, but you gotta provide more info.
Rooted? Stock?
If so, ROM/kernel?
Also, what errors are you exactly getting? Or you can provide a logcat.
This has been the absolute best and fastest device I've ever owned or played with. Makes me sad when ppl aren't experiencing the same thing I am. So hopefully we can help you.
None of the problems you are having.
Seemed like phone was having issues staying connected to network, but it cleared up, so I'm guessing it was T-Mobile's issue.
Also, with Franco kernel and custom color settings and volume boost, this phone is near perfect.

I'm having the exact same issues. When attempting to browse the play store I constantly get the " cannot connect to the play store" and I have to hot retry several times before I can continue. This happens every 10 minutes or so and it's driving me crazy. Also when skiing any type of downloading on my Wi-Fi I get awful speeds. I'm talking an hour to download a podcast but it only taking my iPhone 5 approx 10 minutes to download the same podcast. Something is definitely wrong however I bought this phone from someone else so I can't RMA it so think I'm screwed.

You might want to try a different channel or something with your router if you are seeing disconnections a lot. Also is this happening on multiple wifi connections or just on your home one? With Bluetooth I don't really use it so cannot comment on it.

For here the WiFi signal until it looks good on the phone, but no data transfer occurs. From what I've been reading this is happening to many people. I think google should be manifested.
If hardware problem until I change the router, but at least tell me what works. They are anxious to get the phone's SD reader to avoid confusion and leave this problem in WiFi. Just missing they release the next nexus without WiFi to avoid this kind of problem.

Internet Problems Nexus 4.

The March 8, 2013, I bought in google play, 2 mobile devices Nexus 4. I bought them because it was a model powered by google and I thought it was going relatively well.
I've been very disappointed with this phone. The whatsapp, emails, lines, gtalk, etc. have a latency impressive. Some whatsapp slow to go over 20 minutes! When you send line messages, get a shipping error and you have to give forward constantly. I tested and in 4 different operators: Amena, Orange, Movistar and Telstra, and none works well. Say it clear, that the APN is configured properly (I assure you). In fact, this same setup I've tried the other 4 terminals, HTC Wildfire, Galaxy Ace, Iphone 4 and Galaxy s2, and all works correctly. In contrast, in the Nexus 4 is grief. I do not know what to do, I can not contact Google to return the phone and give me a solution either.
Does anyone in this respectable forum knows how solve this serious problem with the nexus 4? Are there any hidden settings to solve this internet problem?
I would do very happy if guys could give me a solution to this problem because the phone I liked a lot, but if I can not find any solution, I will have to get rid of it.

id say that you are having app issues, not nexus 4 issues. i dont use whatsapp, i use gmail for emails, and gtalk all work great on my end. try factory resetting your devices.
Tough luck. Now, sell it to someone who will flash CM on it and appreciate it's glory.
Must be your location.. No lag issues here on any of the apps you have stated..

Impossible
Since I did one factory reset on both phones and installed cm10 one of the devices, but the problem persists. As I said in the previous thread, I've tried with several telephone companies with APN configured correctly. On other phones like the galaxy ace or htc wildfire running, but in the nexus 4 posts slow to arrive between 10 and 20 minutes.
I think I'll have to buy another phone.
Someone offered me a good deal for both phones?
They were bought in Google Play the March 8, 2013.
In my opinion LG Nexus 4 malfunctioned.
Data sending delays
Bug report here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=52260
You can get a small improvement by installing a custom kernel (Harsh works for me). I almost want to tell you to return your phone and make sure Google knows about the problem. Once people start returning their phones, maybe Google will look into fixing this. :crying:
Return the phones
How I can I contact google to return the 2 phones?

After the 4.2.2 update my internet speed was lower too, try flashing a full 4.2.2 factory image in fastboot, that solved it for me.
Can you give me a tutorial?
Are you sure? Could you tell me how I can do it? Where I can download the official image of android 4.2.2 for nexus 4? Would I would lose the warranty?
Thank you.

I'm sure. I ask to much friends (10) and they have the same problem since 4.2.2 android version in Spain Operators. My friends said me, that in 4.2.1, works correctly, but this version had other problems. Furthermore, there is one issue in official code development center with this.

Here is the factory image for the nexus 4: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjdq39
I think you can flash it without rooting or unlocking your bootloader, or you can simply unlock then flash then lock your bootloader again. There are some instructions here. You can try it without unlocking your bootloader first, and if that fails, unlock it temporarily. Flashing like this WILL DEFINITELY wipe your data, including /sdcard, so backup to computer.

This is definitely a software or radio problem, because it wasn't an issue in the earlier versions of Android. Furthermore, installing a custom kernel like Harsh mitigates the problem. I hope the next version of Android will fix this, but I'm worried the Google engineers don't even know about it. I think it's provider-related, and this problem may not exist in the US.

That would be sad, but you gotta do what you gotta do. The next version of Android is expected to be released in about 3 weeks. You could return the phone and buy it again when you know this issue is fixed. Or you could wait. (But if you wait too long, do you lose your right to return the phone? It is defective, so in your country you probably have pretty strong rights in this area.)

Are you absolutely sure that:
1. You had a problem where outgoing data was delayed by up to a minute (in all applications, not just WhatsApp)?
2. You did not change service providers or plan or SIM card?
3. The wipe solved your problem and messages are now sent immediately?
I'd like to try this if it helps, but it's a huge effort. Thanks!

2. Yes, I'm sure. I probe 4 service providers: Amena, Orange, Yoigo and Symio.
3. I will do it this night. I will flash de original image from google. There is the occam version. Are I ok?

Any issues on LTE Note 10.1

Hey guys & gurls,
Getting my Note 10.1 LTE tomorrow, and I'm just wondering if there are any issues that I should be aware of before turning the great device into an even greater one with the help of everyone here.
Any info would be great.
Thanks,
Evil.
Nobody has anything to tell me?
Cheers,
Evil.
there arent any issues for note 10.1 so you should not be worry about anything
Yep, in Australia all I can find is the 16Gb version of the LTE(4G) model... This is too small, I need at least 32Gb...:crying:
No problems using the LTE10.1 here in Germany either. Apart from it being addictive. And the disruption to meetings while folks check out the handwriting to text.... or in my case, scrawl to text.

Well actually I couldn't help myself.. this will back up and then restore your apn..

Its free too and highly rated so should be fine.
Ill look into flashing 2.3 tomorrow so will update on how that apps plays out for me but don't forget your trlco can help too. Customer support should be able to txt you the settings and once the message is opened it auto fills the setting for you. We used to do it for customers back in thenso surely even the telco themselves should have an app that solves it??

Does Root cause problems

Ok I been on here a long time and I've had SEVERAL phones . The Note 3 is puzzling me and I don't know what else to do but come to the community . I cannot get good service in my house, Verizon provided me with a Network Extender. Although it improved my signal and reception TREMENDOUSLY I now cannot get any text messages. I've done several different trouble shooting techniques and I also had someone come over that has Verizon (same phone not rooted ) to see if their phone Would do the same as mine. So she text me and it never went thru but she was able to receive all her text messages. Can root be causing my issues?
Or can anyone give me any insight on this

Not getting SMS is a network thing - 100% network thing. It's fundamental to Android so I doubt any rom would be causing it. I only say this because one time - I stopped getting SMS / MMS on my Verizon Phone for several days. Thinking it was just a glitch, I let it go for a few days. Finally I called Verizon and they had me do several hours worth of factory resets, tests, and then finally elevated it a level higher. Each level required me to do all the carp, factory resetting, etc... which I kindly did because they were required to do it. Finally, I got elevated to the highest tech, who really knew his stuff (really nice guy) - found out that someone had terminated SMS/MMS on my line inside Verizon's servers somewhere. He actually had to contact someone else to turn it back on. Bam, got my SMS/MMS back. Took about a week.
May or may not be related.
If anything I'd blame the network extender. Do you get SMS/MMS outside of your house?
I thought it was network extender also...yes i do get them out side my house ..i also get them inside my house if the extender is off. But then when my sister phone got them fine on the same phone and she text me and I couldn't get them I did not understand that part

Wow that sucks... Yeah, when I lived with my parents back in my Droid 1 days, we got a network extender and we had nothing but problems with it. So, we chose to just live with the 1 bar of reception.

Looks like other people having same problems - of course no solution or fix on any of those links. That would frustrate me to no end. I'll keep my eye out and let you know if I find anything.

Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Definitely call Verizon about this issue. Maybe check APN settings too. I understand that's primarily for data but it couldn't hurt to check
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Maybe cause the network extender uses your broadband for data, not the phones cellular network. That way Verizon puts the signal burden on your ISP, not themselves. I've heard that MMS doesn't work when not on cellular network.

[Q] Constant Wifi drops at my wits end

Hello everyone first time joining xda; I have used the site a few times and I love it. I also created an account because of the wonderful community anyways; I seem to be having this really frustrating problem with my Verizon LG G2. I picked up the phone on black Friday and its been absolutely wonderful except for one issue, my WiFi drops signal constantly and I mean almost every 3-15 minutes but the catch is that I have used WiFi at my friends and by that I mean more than a one or two works great at theirs and not mine but at my house and it doesn't and I think this might be a router issue. But I have spent many hours trying to figure out what might be wrong it it helps my router is: Netgear model WNDR3700. I've tried just about everything and would like some smarter help. Thank you for reading!
Shameless self bump
First bump!
Having same issue but not as often.
If I use my htc sensation with vipers it's even worse. Even causing my router to reboot.
Se if u can extract logs from your router.

My suggestion is to just get a new router. They're only 30 bucks if you get em used (I mean, NICE ones). I am somewhat router-savvy and I would recommend the D-Link DIR-655 as a replacement. It has OS-independent printer/HDD sharing, website URL blocking (great for blocking ads), time restrictions, logging, wireless N & good range... if you're lucky you'll find one in great condition for about $39 last I checked. Once I got one for $20 off ebay and it had some issues.. so don't do that I guess.
I know my suggestion doesn't directly answer your question but it will directly solve your problem. Hope this helps,

Truu, true definitely make sure WiFi auto sleep is disabled and also WiFi optimization (on some devices) is off. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: *headbang*

Thanks for posting but yeah all of those quick fixes I've tried also I checked for a router update and its up to date and I check the website its correct. The ****ty part is buying a new router is out of the question because I still live with my parents.

You're not using a static ip that is being used by 2 devices right? I did that when I first set mine up... I'm not the sharpest one.

Also, another dummy fix is checking which wireless standards you have selected. Surprisingly a lot of android phones are not compatible with independent Wireless-N, make sure you have set up a,b,g,n or b,g,n or even try straight g or straight b if those don't work. On top of that, try changing the wireless frequencies, that is very likely to be your problem.
