[ISSUE] Galaxy Note 3 [ISSUE]

Look at the screenshot, for some reason, the battery usage I dicates that I've been using Wi-Fi but I have it disabled. Also, it says my device isn't awake in the usage...
My battery seems to drain much too when nothing is running and I have every feature disabled such as sync and gestures...
Please give me feedback/solutions about this and share to me what you think, thanks!

Have you tried turning it off and on again? Stupid thing but you never know.

Yes I have... It doesn't solve anything for me and ever after doing the update it still has the same issues...

WiFi->advanced->untick scanning always available.

[Q] Is there any way to set GSM only network

HI there
is there any mod to set GSM only network on note 3. The area I working barely have any 3 g or had a coverage. O2 UK.
Thanks in advance.

In parameters simply turn data off.

What I meant to say I still need the data but the gsm only network I'm after, because in the area i working barely have any 3g or hsdpa network. And because the constant network scanning barely have any network.

Sorry for my misunderstanding. I'm wondering if this is not linked to the setup of your provider. They may decided 2G (Edge) is no more available.
In my case the 2G option is still working and when I set it the GN3 works in Edge :-\

It depends if your carrier has 4G as I am on Three network UK and I too dont have the LTE option because 4G not out in my area yet but when I changed sim to O2 who already have 4G the LTE option appears.

If you're already rooted go to data/property ,find the persist.radio.lteon.xml file. Open it in Text Editor and if the value that is written is false, change it to true. Save and exit and reboot. Thats it

If you don't know it means you're not
If bought directly from Vidéotron and no modification has been done to your device, you're not rooted

Any benefits being rooted? Is it like being jailbroken.?

Rooting has many benefits. The main reason I do it is to uninstall all the bloatware that Samsung saddles you with. My Note 3 came with 25+ useless apps that I can't delete. That's not even counting the 7 that T-Mobile sticks on here. Most of them don't run all the time, but a few do. Like Magazine and the also useless Samsung Siri knockoff. I just use Google voice instead. Another advantage to rooting it would be all the customization options that you would have.

Wifi and data switch off randomly.

Have noticed about once a day at random times, my wifi and data signal will disappear when using the phone. I have to switch airplane mode on and back off to get my connections back. Not a major Issue, but slightly annoying.
Anyone else have this problem or know the cause?

I'm having an issue where my wifi icon disappears but I'm still connected to wifi. Also, the toggle is grayed out. Pretty annoying. I'm on the Sprint GS5.

The toggle is greyed out on mine too and cannot switch it back on. The only difference is that I loose wifi and network connection. Mine is o2 UK unbranded handset.
Update: my connections are still active when this happens.

I'm getting the same thing here, the data and wifi icons occasionally disappear and the wifi toggle goes dark (as if it's not connected), but I'm still connected and get data just fine.

Do you reckon this is a hardware or software fault?

I did install adblock (unrooted) for about 30 minutes and then removed it when I first got my phone. Not sure if the problem started before or after.

Its not problem adaway. I test it.

Would be nice to find out the reason why this is happening.

It didn't happen yesterday so will wait for next samsung update and see if that solves the problem. Unless it gets worse then I will factory reset.
update : shortly after I posted this it happened again so I tested the connection and I was still connected to wifi.

No, I stopped looking as I think they only work properly if your rooted.

Status Bar Icon - What is the oval icon?

Hello everyone,
Please forgive my ignorance on this, but I've searched all over and not found an answer.
Can anyone tell me what this icon is or what it means?
Thank you!

I believe that is the icon for the enhanced lte service. I've seen it somewhere on the Verizon 935 page if I recall correctly. Did you flash engboot?

I believe that's what it is. If you go into settings and turn off enhanced lte service and back out it should go away and that should tell us if my theory is correct.
I'd turn it back on afterward though.

You are absolutely correct. Thank you!!

FYI I had the icon after root on PG1 but after a reboot it went away even with enhanced services still on.

Odd. It did not go away for me until I flashed the S7 fixes zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...sed-unroot-t3411039/post67605246#post67605246
That seems to have caused this icon to go away permanently on my system while leaving enhanced LTE settings on.
