[Q] Weird signs on note 3 status bar - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I flash 4.4.2 on note 3 and now I have this symbol and the status bar and my battery drains really fast
The picture below is the symbol I'm trying to get rid and think why my battery is draining fast

It's "no cellular network coverage" icon...

Go to settings > about device and see if you are getting a signal - Check you have a Baseband version in there.

The reason you're battery is going quick is it's probably continually scanning for network... It's a HUGE battery drain....

hey what do I do if the baseband is missing
if there is anyway to stop my phone for searching or could i flash any 4.4.2 modem that would be great

Firstly is your baseband missing? - if not then no need to worry. If so.. then you will need to repair your efs.

Follow THIS - It means you'll have to trip KNOX if you haven't already, and install a custom recovery.

Hey thanks for the link
I don't care about Knox or anything phones this days are very near unbrickable

Keep that fix on your sd card for future just in case. Efs on the note 3 is notoriously dodgy currently

[Help][Urgent]WiFi won't turn on

Hi there!
I'm having a really bad problem at the moment on my s4 (i9505). Recently I upgraded from stock (MDE) to pre-rooted (MF8). Since then, my WiFi has stopped working, and it seems to be the only thing that has gone wrong. When I toggle WiFi on, it immediately toggles off (both in the quick settings, and through the settings panel). When I mean immediately, I mean within 1/10 of a second.
I flashed another ROM over it (OMEGA V7) and nothing changed.
I feel as though I've missed something vital, and would rather work on a fix for it rather than flash stock through Odin and start from scratch. Any help is very much appreciated.
Check settings in WiFi. There is an option for using cell or WiFi based on which one is faster, disable it.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I already had that off (selected off by default).
Also check if your wifi timer is on.

No WiFi timer is also off.

Ive had this issue before when my kernel and modem are mismatched but also when a weird setting is enabled... and I cant remember what it is.
Try a factory reset but do not restore your phone settings from google... only your contacts

Not in Airplane mode.

No idea what's wrong. I literally JUST flashed a ROM. I've been doing this for almost 3 years and never have I seen an issue like this.
Might take the phone back.

I can't really say why this happens but a lot of times with this phone it seems that the MAC address to the wifi is somehow lost and by removing the /data/.cid.info file you can somehow reset something that makes things work again. I assume it's somehow tight to different wifi network chip drivers in different kernels but I'm not sure. On some ROM's I have tried I have to do this on every boot...

[Q] No 3G signal

So I just got my Note 3 SM N900 a few weeks ago. However the signal received was very weak, so I used Odin to flash a new modem (DXUBMI1, as demonstrated in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475714).
After flashing, the voice call and SMS were more stable, I constantly got -51dbm in signal strength. Yet in terms of network connection I could only connect via EDGE (2G). When rebooting, the phone could connect to HSDPA (3G) initially, but after a while, it drops 3G and turns to 2G again, hence I believe the problem is not with the service provider.
Please see the screenshots for more details. My questions are: how do I improve connectivity and are there any other better modem base band to flash on my Note 3 (I bought the phone and currently live in Vietnam).
Appreciate your help. Thanks.
Just edit out your IMEI Number from that screen shot first - keep that number to yourself always.
Do you have a case on the phone? Or a bumper?

Try this go to settings > more networks > mobile network > then change network mode to WCDMA only then reboot your phone.
Hope it helps

I forced it to WCDMA only and got 3G for a while...then the signal just went out altogether. The phone signal only came back after I switched back to WCDMA/EDGE auto select.
Is there any chance this problem is hardware related?
It is possible that it is hardware yes. However. . For some bizarre reason it may be the case.. take it off and see how it performs then you can reassess

S4 no sound

okay so im going to start from scratch, my s4 has randomly started giving me no sound, ive had it tested and all my components are good so it has to be software.
i have flashed multiple roms, modems and wifi fix
but im willing to give anything a go just let me know!
beginning to really stress me out! i have included a pic of my current setup, cheers and thanks for the help!
does no one have a clue on this?
i was thinking maybe wait for the lollipop update and it may sort itself out?
or flash another stock rom and gsm modem only?
i have already triggered knox so not really worried about the method, anything would be of great help!

Im not sure what's goin on . It might be a Hardware issue? Try pulling the battery out / factory reset/ wipe data in recovery . If its still.doing the same issue . Wait And Let see what firmware @Joku1981 will give you . It might fix this problem . Anyways Goodnite for now .
Yes sorry to disturb you, I've had my device tested it's been going on that long it all came back okay :/ thanks a lot it's definitely improved!

factory reset no luck, cache wipe no luck, battery pull no luck, i was thinking try flash a stock rom? have a feeling ive got a few duff ones, any recomendations?
Whether it helps or not apart from no sound, videos play in slow motion, battery when unplugged from fully charge drops to around 80% and sometimes when the phone is booted it boots with no signal and a black top bar, before restarting again normally

Phone keeps turning off

Hi, when I'm trying to multitask on my i9505 it turns itself off and goes into bootloop, and will only turn on properly if I have it plugged in.. When it does not it will show only 1 or 2% off battery left even if it was almost full before random reboot occurred.. In using custom Rom slim l.p.. I'd it likely to be a battery problem or rom problem given my troubles above? Just purchased a new battery in any case but I'd like to move back to official sammy software in any case...do I need to do this via odin?I don't mind about root any longer, I don't use apps that require this anyway
I'd also appreciate help finding new sammy firmware, I can barely keep my phone on long enough to search for it!
