[Q] 4G hangs

My Note 3, 4g data hangs after a few hours.
Even if I disable / enable data there's still no data.
The only way to fix it is through a soft reset.
I haven't rooted my phone.
anyone else getting this problem?

You lose the status in the signal bar? - While I currently don't have 4G here (yet, January thankfully) my data connection vanishes after a few hours and takes a switch off/on for it to re-enable again. Not sure why, assumed it was a network issue (not the best network here IMO)

Well it switches to 3G since it shows H (HSDPA) but its still suppose to have internet. But it wont load any websites. After a soft reboot I would have internet again. So far happened to me 3x already

But on the bright side you can still root and keep Knox 0x0
After that you can also probably get a MJ7 version with a CSC close to what you have and keep root and Knox 0x0 (but in case you decide to do that you have a lot of reading to do around this forums).
The bottom line is that it might be fixed by MJ7.

[Q] New N900 has bad signal and "your device has been modified" update error

[Q] New N900 has bad signal and "your device has been modified" update error
Hello forum,
I am in the UK using a Virgin sim and my girlfriend bought this phone new in china and flew it over to me. At the moment the signal is really bad wherever I go (the same SIM card in my old galaxy nexus had great signal in all these places) so I was wondering if there was any way to make the signal better?
Also I tried to do an update through the settings menu hoping this would sort out the signal problem and it is giving me the "your device has been modified. no updates available for this device." error even though the phone is new.
the information about the device is as follows:
when I type *#1234# I get:
AP: N900ZSUBMI5
CP:N900XXUBMI2
CSC:N900OZSBMI2
In my "about device" within settings, the following is given:
Model number: SM-N900
Android version: 4.3
Baseband version: N900XXUBMI2
Kernel version: 3.4.39-1625296

Build number: JSS15J.N900ZSUBMI5
SELinux status: Enforcing
If I reboot to recover it opens:
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.5
Compiled by Xiaolu(20131121)
When I try to check knox I cant see it (I go into odin mode and the top left just says the following):
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
(I now understand the N900 doesn't have knox)
Thanks for looking, any feedback at all would be much appreciated :good:

Well it looks great. At least I can be sure that your phone shouldn't be a fake. It is of Hong Kong or Taiwan origin, Exynos, running 4.3 on N900ZSUBMI5.
You have CWM Recovery, Xiaolu's port of it. Hence that device was probably rooted prior to getting it handed over to your girlfriend. KNOX is only present on the MJ and onward firmwares, and you happen to be on an MI firmware so you don't have it activated yet.
Check the section for Network/Bearer and Wireless Connectivity on this link: http://www.samsung.com/levant/consumer/mobile-phones/mobile-phones/galaxy-note/SM-N9000ZKEXSG-spec
Match it up with your country's network specifications. There's a reason why these phones don't get sold worldwide, as they aren't all compatible with every region. Also remember to set correct APN values for your country.

okay thanks for your reply, I believe the frequencies virgin use are 1800MHz and 2100MHz which can both be used with this phone. The APN settings were downloaded automatically when the phone was first booted and I also manually checked them and they are correct.

What is your network switch options in Settings?
Do you have it to HSPA/GSM (auto connect) set? [Sorry if it's not exactly the same, I don't have the N900 model]

My friend pointed this out to me just before I saw your message, the options available are only wcdma/gsm hspa isn't an option. Im guessing from my limited knowledge that this is the problem, what is it I would need to do to fix this? thanks again.

Actually, I asked my friend who has the N900, he's reporting the same as you. So no problem in that.
There must be something else that can be isolated to find what's going on. You can try to upgrade the phone to the latest modem by flashing the latest 4.4.2 ROM.

Okay, what would be the best way to flash the latest ROM? Would this be a custom ROM or is there a way to get the official one? Thanks again.
Edit: I have now tried putting Dr Ketans rom on it, telling it to use the ROMs modem, and that still didnt fix the problem. I have also tried flashing some other modems from the GSM modems collection thread but the problems persist. The symptoms are as follows:
Frequently looses signal
only ever shows the E or G symbol for mobile internet connection (whereas on my other phone with the same sim it instantly gets full signal and shows H+ or 3G)
the phone has also never been able to lock onto a GPS location it only ever shows searching for GPS in the notifications bar.

[Q] Samsung XCOVER2 GT-S7710L can not connect 3G in Indonesia

Dear All,
I bought Samsung XCOVER2 GT-S7710L in US , and take it to Indonesia , but for mobile data network it can NOT pick up any 3G signal ( UTMS nor HSDPA ) , it can only pick up EDGE (2G), I have tried 2 different SIM card from different operator ( www,xl.co.id and telkomsel.com ).
When I force the phone to work on "WCDMA only " it seems can NOT sniff the network even though I am very sure the area is covered by 3G services as I can pick up the 3G signal using my other android phone.
Here is the detail of the phone :
- Model number : GT-S7710L
- Android Version : 4.1.2
- Baseband Version : S7710LUBAMC1
- Kernel Version :

Two things are possible,
1- Your second SIM tray may not support WCDMA.
2- The bands in your radio is not supporting the WCDMA radio of Indonesia.
Bonus: Your firmware may have been screwed.

[Q] i9505 only getting G/E in mobile data indicator

hi guys im a new android user. i bought my i9505 galaxy s4 3 weeks ago and everything is working perfectly except the mobile data. i can only connect to E/G signals with it (which doesnt really do anything because i cant even check emails). its on LTE/3G/WCDMA/GSM(automatically) setting and the APN is the correct settings with the carrier in my country(philippines). i tried my sim on a different i9505 phone and it was able to connect to 4g so i guess the carrier/sim being the problem is ruled out. i have restored to factory settings/rebooted multiple times and am still unsuccessful. the phone's IMEI is not blacklisted or banned and it is intact(dont really know what that means but it shows a long series of numbers and im not really sure its safe to post it here). My carrier also supports the frequencies listed on what the phone has. i have not installed any custom firmwares and have not re installed any official releases.
i would really appreciate it if someone can help me fix this problem. could it be a software problem or a hardware problem(praying it isn't)?
my phone specs are
GT-i9505 samsung galaxy s4
android version:4.3
