I got my Note 3 the day it came out and initially the signal was bad but usable. Now after the most recent update the signal is horrible. I am always getting 1-2 bars and LTE always switches to 3g or cannot find data at all. Making calls, sending texts and mms are all a huge pain now. On all of my other devices I usually got full signal. After reading online it seems it may have been an issue with the initial batch of note 3's. Some people are getting new Note 3's so if you're facing this problem don't be afraid to call about it
I have the same problem. I have the development edition and cant keep lte to save my life.
Really disappointed with this update. Completely DESTROYED reception. I don't get 4g anywhere I used to. This is ridiculous.
I had the stock note 3 and my signal was horrible. So I exchange it , gave it to my wife and bought the developer addition. I'm run stock dev and my signal is awesome. I was so disappointed at first . Now I'm happy.

My baseband is N900VVRUBMJE and I have LTE everywhere. Very few places it drops, like inside buildings.
The last update I received was on Nov 11th, by your screenshot it looks like your last OTA was in October (MJ3)
May go and check for updates, the MJE update fixed all my LTE issues.

Sounds like I need to restore to factory so I can get the ota. Mine has been rooted from day 1.
I was on the nov. 11 update and was dropping calls in great areas. Got a replacement . Hoping they don't find evidence of root on the one I sent back . Odin ed to mje and did factory reset... so far so good on new one

Well that brightness slider would be a GREAT addition in my opinion. I also wouldn't mind if the fixed the standby battery draw reporting glitch. Also, they could ACTUALLY fix the standby battery draw so the phone doesn't suck it self dry through the day from standby.
Oh yeah, the desktop background doesn't scroll when you flip screens. Don't know if that's a glitch, but it's just stupid and should be changed.
Another thing, the phone seems to just drop reception randomly even though it's in a fully covered area. This constant drop and pick up is suuuuuper annoying when you're surfing the web or using some messenger app. Also is a battery killer as well.
Improvements can always be made. It's nice to get the updates and nice to know samsung/att cares about our experience. (For sure ATT doesn't give two ****s so I hope Samsung can persuade)

Not sure if serious...
This phone's wireless/data radio are a complete pos. WiFi drops constantly, and it's just weak. I can't even believe how weak the signal is. You guys are worried about brightness...lol .
I've personally have had an issue where callers from my contacts list show up as Unknown. My Dad, with the same GS3, called me and asked if I was having this issue as he had been noticing it as well. Also, some others on xda have reported the same or similar issues.
I called and talked to a rep at tmo and was told that it was a known issue being worked on by tmo and sammy. Not sure when (or if) this will be fixed, but I'm hopeful.
Hi Guys,
Were are the new basebands for the nexus 4?
My phone is not so stable about the signal.i think an new baseband can fix that problem.
Has anybody seen an new baseband ?

have to wait for the next OTA that releases. and that doesnt even guarantee a new radio release with it. it may ship the same radio.
They come from Google no one here makes them.
I'm patiently waiting on a new radio as well. Updating the radio on my Galaxy Nexus was the best mod I ever did. Increasing the signal strength made a huge difference in usability in my area.
As others have mentioned, it might be a while. We need to wait for more OTA's to be released and hope that they have updated basebands.

I'm pretty sure that LG makes the radio not Google. As they would follow LG's guideline for baseband format.
Kinda like how Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S radios had Samsung guideline of: XXKF1, etc.
XX representing region (UG,etc)
K representing year
F representing month. etc
# representing release of that month.

Yes please... They need to release a new one I'm getting horrible 4G speeds on my Nexus 4.
On my s3 average is 15down and 1.8up... With a high of around 25down and 3up
On the nexus four I can't get past 10. So ****ty.

I'd like to try some other modems too. The change in modem made my i9000 far better signal wise and even increased download speed.
No one searched for this?
There's a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227 with the only radios collected so far. Nothing new yet until hopefully 4.2.2.
FWIW, Downgrading to .27 helped myself, and many others, tremendously with both signal strength and data speeds. .33 was terrible for me.
Starting today, Nexus 7 (2012 and 2013) and Nexus 10 will be getting a tasty update to Android 4.4, KitKat

I'm rather peeved about this delay also. We paid for the MOST EXPENSIVE version of the tablet, and we get treated like stepchildren.
I bet Verizon is behind this with their 800 lb gorilla "fart and the world thanks you" attitude about approving updates and devices. The negative of a single-SKU device. Waiting on some monkey in a Verizon office to decide the update is kosher.

Given that the Nexus 4 is also delayed, it likely has something to do with cellular radio firmware, rather than anything involving Verizon. Just a guess, though.

Now would be a good time to rollback to stock recovery/kernel so that the OTA installs smoothly..
i just rooted on saturday and am still on the latest 4.3, any idea if OTA is a bad idea?
I was so confused because Phandroid.com states that "It’s worth noting that Google specifically mentions “Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 versions with mobile data,” so if you’ve got a WiFi only device or don’t currently have service, you probably won’t be seeing an update in the immediate future." So I'm assuming they are wrong... (not unusual).
Damn it! No New Google Launcher experience. I'll be posting the OTA link in the morning. Of noone poste it early.

I think it depends on the manufacture date. KK borked my reception, but I'm planning on getting warranty replacement. I had a Note 3 from a month after release, so it is definitely an early version.

I did a warranty exchange and there is a significant difference in reception. I couldn't make calls from work indoors in some of my buildings, now I have no problem. Driving through canyons I would also have dropped calls, but since replacement I can actually stay on a call through the same place

Ive read from numerous sources over the past few months. The update always seems to be 'coming soon'.

It's not the worst. Even their latest flagship S series (since S6 isn't OFFICIALLY out yet) hasn't gotten it. Even the M8 hasn't gotten it.

It is odd that the site no longer has any firmware for our device. Just last week they still showed 4.3 as our stock firmware.

"with the Galaxy Note 3 likely to receive the update ahead of the current Note 4 and Note Edge."
Translation:
Maybe they'll start rolling 5.0 out before the end of the summer. 5.1? Probably not in 2015. And by then a real bug-fixed newer version will be out. (That big pile out behind AT&T is the pile of "go backwards fast" pills they each take every morning.)
But for me? I hate Material Disgust, my phone works just fine with 4.4.2, Towel Root and SafeStrap, and I'm in no hurry to maybe update to 5 with no way to get back to 4 if I don't like 5. I'd rather someone fix the Note 4 port - that's a nice ROM.
I didn't say it was the worst against other devices, it's the worst out of all Note 3 variants.

Nothing major. You can go on YouTube and see the changes. Most of them are just design changes. Looks a little lighter if that makes sense? The way the active apps show up is new. More like a carousel. My battery drain seems to have gotten a little worse. Trying to determine if I have a rogue app or its the update. Like it overall.
