Hello everyone,
I have Galaxy S4 I9505 that is unbranded and unlocked, updated with the latest firmware via Kies3. Stock ROM, Knox 0x0.
My firmware info:
PDA: I9505XXUEMKF
CSC: I9505BTUEMK5
MODEM: I9505XXUEMKF
(I checked on sammobile and its UK BTU firmware)
I am from Croatia using T-mobile as a carrier. Problem first appeared right after the first 4.3 update was released via Kies3.
The problem is that when I select LTE in Network mode options it doesn't connect to 4G, the icon only shows H+ in a 4G area. If I leave it running in LTE mode, after a while the mobile data will shut down, signal will drop (like it resets) and after a few moments it will work again. My mail or whatsapp messages for example will arrive 10 - 30 min later. This will repeat over and over until I turn it off in Network mode and select WCDMA/GSM only. Everything was working fine prior 4.3 update.
Also I hope there is a solution that doesn't include flashing custom modem files or anything that voids my phone warranty.
Thank you,
Skyward
Anyone??

SM-N9005 Galaxy Note 3

Hello there.
I'm sorry if I haven't used the search engine right but I couldn't find a thread similar or answering my question.
I bought my phone, the note 3 in the Netherlands. It is an unbranded phone(phn) as far as I know.
But I am living in belgium. And for some reason I can't get my 4g to work with the Base operator.
Or with any other operators. For some reason there is no LTE option available in the network settings.
Now I have been searching on Google and went to some stores and compared my csc and ap version to the note 3 working on lte on the same network in the stores. And I saw with every note 3 in the stores that the ap version was ap n9005xxuena7 and mine is n9005xxuena6.
How come my unbranded phone with csc n9005phnena2 is not getting the update that let's me use 4g?
At least that is what I think?
After previewing the post, I noticed I have to update my signature. ..
Your carrier probably hasn't enabled it on your line.
Ring them up

I doubt that. They informed me about 4g them selves and the Sim they gave me had a small picture of 4g(lte) and 3 dual carrier on it.
Have you tried a factory reset?
I had a similar problem with my btu uk device after flashing the Polish na6 official firmware. Very unreliable mobile data connectity and went to 4g very rarely.
I didn't factory reset but instead flashed a custom rom (also based on na6) which fixed the problem completely.
I'd suggest factory reset first to see if that helps.

I don't know about Base, but with Proximus, you really have to call the customer service to ask them to activate the 4g for you. Did you try that?

I have a cheap abo with Proximus and have 4G on my note 3.
I don't have to do a thing about it so you don't have to call them its already activated for every abo.
I don't think it is operator related. Because my Sim works on my mother's s4 perfect.
I guess it is the update that is necessary to activate 4g on unbranded phones.

I can't say what's wrong with BASE, maybe they haven't enabled 4G towers yet...I'm on XL from Proximus and I get LTE all over Vlaanderen.
Well, try to flash some of the Polish 4.4.2 available all over XDA. My Note was also bought from Belsimpel but never had any issues with 4g--->with the latest NB3 (OTA) there's no more 4G sign...it's LTE.

Kies Backup works just fine...
Not every provider has 4G enabled in every CSC version. I get this question about 12 times a day on the T-Mobile NL forums.
I had 4G on DBT with T-Mobile NL two months before the T-Mobile NL Branded and PHN versions had it.
Resetting won't make a difference. This needs to be toggled in the firmware itself by Samsung. On most other devices you can use the *#*#4636#*#* or *#2263# dialer code to manually force the network mode, but they disabled it on the Note 3.

Thank you. You confirmed what I assumed was the problem.
I already have tried viaero. All I get is a black screen. No selectable option or toggle button. Nothing but a black screen. So I have to wait for an update or put a custom rom on it?
And is it possible to backup app settings? Like I dont have to configure Yatse again and Xbmc?
I am a noob with flashing custom roms and rooting.
Thank you.
call Base , tell them to activate it . Mobile Viking uses the base network and they had to phone base to activate G4 for my number.
up till few weeks a go you neded to make a call for proximus aswell but that changed because of the promoting of 4G action that is running for 6 months

there should be no need to flash a rom for this , i use a romanian Note3 and 4G ( proximus for daily use ) works perfectly.

No need to flash a customROM. If another official ROM has 4G enabled for our provider, you could flash that over PHN. No rooting, no knox triggering, no warranty issues. The only issue you might run into is that nonsense people have recently been getting flashing over PHN with the filesize.
NA6 is the most recent firmware for PHN. Could you go check in the stores what CSC version the devices are using that do have 4G on your provider? To my knowledge NA7 is a provider-specific version limited to T-Mobile and daughter-companies.

Did you miss the part where I said every CSC has a different list of 4G activated providers?

Thank you... Again.
I have been searching on Google for people having the same problem. I found someone posting his csc version and for this guy is the 4g working with the Ota update he got.
His csc version was N9005OXXDMJ4.
I'm also going to the store tomorrow to look it up.

What does that mean? Can I flash a romanian official rom without losing my data and app settings??
Actually, that's XEF. France Unbranded. (It could also be romania, but XEF is more common. Also, they tend to sell XEF in most open stores here in the benelux.)

In theory, you shouldn't loose any data. You can always use Helium to make a backup. (KIES tends to hate the Note 3. Or life in general)

You got me all excited about this. I am at work right now so I can't do it right now.
How do I flash? With kies? Or do I use something else?
Or should I look that up ?
I am going to look that up no matter what but advise and how to is always welcome.
Thank you for the help everybody.
EDIT: it explains on the website it self how to flash. Thank you.
Gonna let know if it worked.
I flashed russian version of 4.4.2 firmware from sammobile. I dont have root on my phone. But something wrong with signal status. Sometimes it loses connection to gsm operator and i cant make call but accept incoming calls. Sometimes after losing signal it doesnt come back so i need to restart my phone.
Ap: I9500XXUFNB3
CP: I9500XXUFNA6
CSC: I9500SERFNB3
i cut my sim card to make it microsim. Also i am from turkey. Do you think flashing Turkey firmware can solve this type of problems?

Hi
Recently I upgraded my S4 i9505 from 4.2.2 to 4.4. Earlier I used Wanam Lite custom rom and now Omega rom.
I faced problems with my phone:
- there is connection loss and problems with wifi (wifi connects and works but it says connection is unstable)
- there is connection loss and problems with 3g/4g (h/h+).
I wonder if I'm using correct modem. I tried searching this forum and google, but didn't manage the find the correct ones.

What modem do you have? did you try a different one?
Did you buy the phone from Romania or another country? And it is carrier locked?
