Hey everyone. I am stock everything, and my wife grabbed my phone and updated for me, you know, just to be nice.
Anyway, the update screwed my reception. I no longer get 4G at home, and otherwise it's pretty bad. I'm new to the device and haven't done much research yet, but I'm not new to the community. Anyone have a fix? I'm ok with rooting for a proper fix. I haven’t yet because I've been crazy busy with kids and work.
Thanks in advance

Update: Discovered that mobile network was set to Global, changed to LTE/CDMA, rebooted, and 4G is back, but only 1 bar. I used to get a full or near full signal prior to the update. Anyone else have this problem?

Nevermind. Only fixed it for a few minutes. Nothing but 3G again. Will flashing the MJ7 modem/radio work? Or will that break stuff?

Sorry about the thread guys and gals. I'm trying to research things in between making dinner. Eating dinner, bathing my kids, and putting them to bed.
So I found out I can flash old modems over the new build (I think that's right, right?), so I'm looking up info on how to do exactly that, but if someone wants to post instructions, that would be awesome.
Thanks again.
Alright. So I flashed the MJ7 modem, and the results are the same. Poop.
Sad that you can't get a response. I haven't noticed much of difference in MJE and MJ7

I haven't updated to MJE but I'd like to know about the reception before I do. You'd think they'd improve these things with each update but it seems to get worse with each update.

reception has improved for me from mj7, however, i'm in florida... So I dunno... All depends on area and such.
I ended up taking the update, and used to get speeds between 35-50mbps here in Detroit (there's a Cell Tower less than 500 feet from my house), but since the update, my speeds have gone as high as 70mbps and never slower than 45mbps. Granted, I tested this early in the morning....need to test it when folks are up and traffic gets congested.

Maybe there's an outage by you if your getting the same results with different modems. I haven't had any radio issues with the new update. All else fails Odin back and see how it does.

I Odin'ed back last night, and the results are the same. It held 4G for a few minutes, then went right back to 3G. So far this morning, if I leave my phone on my desk in my office, it holds a single bar of 4G. Once I go to the living room, it drops to 3G. Like I said, prior to the update, I got nearly full signal. I hope it's an issue with Verizon, and that it's temporary.

Your phone will connect to the strongest signal.....so if the 3g is stronger than the 4G it will prefer that unless you force 4g. The bars represent the voice connection and are independent of the 3g/4g which represents the data. Voice wise could be a tower outage or the new radios just suck and same with data. Try rolling back to MJ7 and see if it's the same. I know you said your new so I'd recommend doing some reading on what the db levels represent and so forth.

I did roll back to MJ7 modem with no difference, but you can't roll back the firmware or you get a soft brick. I'm just new to this device, not hacking my phones. Been doing it since my G1
I'm chalking this up to either a Verizon problem, or a change in how the software interprets the signal and displays it. Either way, I'll probably just have to wait for a new update (hopefully KitKat) or end up using SS, rooting, and flashing a custom ROM. A few days time will hopefully help, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

Noticed my signal has gotten worse since the update as well. Was at our kids Christmas show last night sitting next to the wife and both on our phones, she on a Virgin Mobile Android on Sprints crap network and me on my N3 Verizon 'super phone'....and she had signal and I did not. NOT real happy bout that! Toggling airplane did nothing to help. It was gone. Hers....fine. And I'm paying twice what she is! If this keeps up, I'll have a Note 3 for sale soon.....

Hey guys,
So I have been running supernova 1.04 (dk28) rfs, since it was posted here on xda(didn't look up date) a month or so back. Everything has been great up to the standards we have been given so far, however recently it seems like my radio resets(chime noise, no signal sign, then signal again) a lot more often if it should at all. I thought that it might just be a jacked up cell site near my house, but its been happening at work too. The weird thing is that it doesn't seem to affect my data, voice, or wifi. I have yet to drop a call because of it. Just curious if I should worry about it being a hardware issue or just due to unfinished software/radio? Thx folks!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Might try reflashing the dk28 modem. I was having problems like that when I was running DK28. It eventually would completely crash so I ended up going back to 2.1. I could never get the FroYo leak to be completely smooth no matter what I tried.
Could this be a problem with local cell towers or is this purely phone/software issue?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Most likely a phone issue.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I am running the same rom and sometimes I hear it make a sound and when I look the signal bars are replaced with a no signal icon, it usually goes back to normal quickly.
But it did this when stock as well so I figure it is a bug in the radio driver.
I can confirm this on 2.1 as well. Can't be too sure but I think it lasted until I got a replacent Epic. It could have been the tower and a complete coincidence but the old phone did it non stop. The new one has very rarely done it on both eclair and froyo. Anyone who experiences this should consider something as well. Did it start after a prl update because it came back after my update to 60674. Lost my 3g as well. Reverting to prl 60671 fixed it but this is NOT a guaranteed fix just worked for me.

If you're in the affected area, maybe update your PRL and see if that gets it back on track? Or maybe it's just all the new speedy users in Atlanta sucking the bandwidth from the rest of us ;]
Heres the thing I live in McDonough (metro ATL) and work in ATL, since this service has been turned on, it seems like the penetration is so much worse, no signal in any building. I'm no noob, so I have done everything I know how to reset the signal, nothing works, 3 phones. And many other friends have the same problem. I'll be complaining to Sprint soon. Now when I'm outside I get a great signal, with the same speed as before this service was turned on, so take that as you will.

Actually I have all the modems on my sdcard, and now the fb27 thanks to calkulin. Ive always had the best results for signal strength with eg31, best speed with fb21. Just installed fb27, but it hasnt helped the problem Im seeing, this is with my touch and 3 og epics (brother, mom, my og epic). Im also seeing when indoors and use an internet speed test app its choosing out of state servers, but when outside and I have a signal it is choosing a close location, but still jumps from 3/4/5 bars to no bars, and internet speeds drop out about every 15secs for 5 secs. Everything Im saying is well tested on 4 phones, and 1 in 2 places by me, still seeing the same thing. This is either being worked on or just the way the new signal is pulsing.

So I was at the Chiefs / Raiders game yesterday in Kansas City (lets all leave the "Why would you subject yourself to 'entertainment' of such a questionable nature?" jeers for another thread). My wife and I go to a lot of games here and we always show up several hours before kickoff and tailgate in the parking lot just outside the stadium. I've always had really good luck with the Sprint 4G WiMAX network here in town and near the stadium is no exception. I'm always zipping along with my Epic while others nearby are complaining of lack of bandwidth even with a full signal meter. I always get a good laugh.
Everyone I brought with me this weekend of course had their own smart devices. A Sprint iPhone 5, a Sprint EVO 4G LTE, a Sprint iPhone 4S, ... among others. No one (LTE folks included) was getting any bandwidth. So I became the afternoon hero when I kicked on my hotspot for a few minutes (Thanks, Necrosan!) and allowed folks to update their facebook pages with pictures of our tailgating extravaganza and check their fantasy lineups and such and so forth.
Funny. My Sprint account has been eligible for upgrade for a while now ... but I keep dreaming up reasons to hold onto this Epic. I think this weekend drug me back quite a few steps from jumping over that upgrade cliff. It's sure nice to play with CM9 and CM10 on this thing. But mostly I enjoy the stability of my Epic running mature FC09 and EL30 stuff. And when I can haul in the kind of bandwidth I did the other day when even the newest, flashiest devices fell flat on their faces, it makes me even more satisfied with my setup.
Thanks to all the developers who helped make this device what it is. And an extra special thanks to those still around who continue to improve upon it.

Oh there is most certainly LTE in the area. As evidenced by the icons on there phones. Just not built out enough yet to handle any kind of capacity.
As for 3G ... yes it was slow. Very slow due to congestion.
I agree with you, OP. When I was in SF for Pride I couldn't get 3G for anything, too many people for the available network to handle. (Hundreds of thousands in downtown)
Wimax was flawless though.

I wonder if updating PRL and Profile might have any effect?
Well guys, here I am with major thoughts of dumping my Note 3 and ending my short couple of month love affair with it.
I just feel that this device underachieved for me. My major beef with it is the poor wifi and overall network performance of the phone with no fix in sight. I can't stand the instability of the wifi performance. I also hate the speaker on this thing.
I also am disappointed with the community. I don't know what it is, but this community doesn't seem very active or have big numbers. I understand maybe a lot of people shy away because of the locked bootloader and such, but it just seems like low activity here.
With that being said, not all hope is lost. I still like this phone overall. I got in on the Cyber Monday deal for a $350 Moto X. I am making my decision easy for myself. If I like the Moto X, I am keeping it and dumping my Note 3. If I don't, I will keep my Note 3 for a little while longer.
And I understand that these phones are on opposite sides of the spectrum. But something intrigues me about the Moto X.
Ultimately I know that nobody probably cares. And that's cool, you can simply ignore this thread. But for anyone else, I would like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!

Why not just sell it and get something else? The Note 3 is still going for decent money on Swappa and most people prefer to buy rooted phones on there.

Can you restore on mj5 after rooting with Kingo? I read you can use Kingos "unroot" then factory reset, but I dunno.
Probably best to use the the already established thread for this this type discussion. ..

Im with you im not taking any updates till I know lolliepop is released and we have root for lolliepop. Then Ill update. Im anticipating it bad. They cant get it here fast enough. Im one of the ones that are having issues with data signals. Very slow.
One thing I have noticed is that if I set phone down I get full bars and good speeds. As soon as I pick up phone it drops to the smallest bar and speeds go to 2-3mbs. Im hoping lolliepop fixes it.
This is one of the first phones that I have not had the immediate urge to root. Its been a month and I am only starting to think about root and it really only to get rid of a few things like the volume warning and the airplane mode warning (Why do they even have that).

Number of bars have little to do with accuracy of signal strength.
so were not able to flash this firmware on our phones just yet correct?

You're having issues with the phone and your solution is to not install they incremental updates that address those issues?
Not until I know i will not lose root. Once root is secure

If you update it via Odin, yes you'll most likely lose root. But then you take two minutes out of your life and reroot it. At least that's how easy it was with the note 3
I dont know how half of the people on here make it across the street and live another day to tell about it.
No sh=t. After the update the root method we have may not work. Once we have confirmed that ROOT WORKS. Then I will take upgrade. And then take 2 minutes out of my life and reroot it.
Ive seen a many of updates that broke root. Those that took update had to wait till root was done for the update. I want to keep root.
And I dont know how all these snobs on the forums have a life. Always looking down your nose at others that may not have your experience in this hobby. Always making snobish comments to try to tear down instead of building up in this so called hobby.
