I just got my Note yesterday and configured the APN settings for Straight Talk (AT&T sim) according to the instructions in another thread. According to the AT&T coverage viewer, my house is in a 3G area but where I work, the whole area shows "4G". However, I was getting HSPA+ at home and in the area that is supposed to be 4G, I'm only getting Edge.
I wonder if I have a bad Note because my signal strength never gets better than -101dB no matter where I am.
Anyone got any troubleshooting ideas?
Me too..but after i rooted my note,, its better than i used stock rom........

Are you saying it got worse after you rooted your phone? Mine is rooted.
I assume you have the international unlocked version? That version does not support 4G; only ATT branded US version of Galaxy Note does. Also, even though Straight Talk uses ATT towers they do not provide 4G to customers. I think your connection is fine. Enjoy your new phone!

the phone does support hspa+ which essentially is 4g... it doesnt support lte
as for the straight talk...you will get as fast as straight talk allows...
Could someone tell me you what kind of signal strength you're showing? Menu > Settings > About phone > Status > Signal strength.
I am pretty sure my Note is defective.
How can I tell if I am actually using AT&T for my network? I ordered an AT&T sim, but I want to make sure they didn't send me a T-Mobile sim.

you said you were rooted... if youre on a custom radio and rom it may be the problem... try flashing full version back to stock and unroot. start from there... if its better then you have your problem... if not then you can get it warrantied cause its back to stock... kill 2 birds with 1 stone

I don't think I'd go that far as to revert to stock and unroot. Why don't you try to test different modems and see if it helps. You'll find a choice of GB modems here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423396
You can safely test any of the GB radios, they are all compatible. Most of them are CWMR flashable. Just download them to your SD card, reboot to Recovery, 'install zip from SD card', navigate to your downloaded file and flash. Piece of cake.
You can unroot if the suggested testing fails.
Hope this helps.

As it turns out it must be AT&T that's the problem.
I unrooted. No custom rom installed.
I reset to factor settings.
I went to the AT&T story where I got the same signal on my Note as they did on their demo unit. (-51db)
I mentioned earlier, inside and outside my office, which is supposed to be in a solid 4G area, I'm only getting Edge speeds.As Kim Komando says, AT&T has no bars in more places.
If the situation doesn't improve by the time my first month of Straight Talk expires, I'll just not renew and then I'll have to put the Note on eBay. That's too bad because it is the best phone out there IMHO.
Well recently switched to sprint to save money...(yayaya big mistake) picked up a M9 only to find out the new spark network doesnt allow talk and hotspot at the same time. So i did some research and found the that 720 (non triband) S4 galaxy has dual antennas that would allow talk and hotspot without interuption... at least thats what i thought....so I bought one on ebay and return my M9...
So now im rooted with the s4 (odin) and have the wifi app for $2.80 google play store.. and still every time I make a call my internet goes out.
Is there anyway I can access both without interruption on the sprint network? or do i have to add a line and have a dedicated rooted phone for uninterrupted access?
Thanks ahead of time guys, I came here first cause i know your the BEST!

Maybe its the hotspot app you are using? have you tried the hotspod mod on these forums?
also, make sure you're on LTE, as thats the only way sprint phones can talk and do data..

Not if tri-band and on LTE. There is no VoLTE so it will disconnect data when you are on a call. You are SOL.

Yea i know.. im no stranger when it comes to rooting and flashing, but I did a basic ODIN2 root, then added WiFi tether from googleplay store and this is happening, on OS 4.2.2
So now Im about to flash OD2 baseband the
Wicked 10.2 ,
then 10.3 and see if fixes it.
A possible reason why this is happening is perhaps when I recieved the phone I did not have a SIM card for it. (ebay sepcial) So I went into sprint and they flashed a new one onto it possibly to disconnect the VoLTE upon dual usage. Im hoping the OD2 baseband and WICKED rom will repair this.
UPDATE:
flash OD2 and now I have voice and data!! YES
Just flashed the wicked 10.3 rom and now I have no keyboard!...damn

Boost is basically a Sprint MVNO, so G900Ps should be inherently compatible. All you should have to do is change the APN for data and MMS to work

well, if youre running the stock ROM, you might not be able to set a custom APN. Id just flash twrp, make a backup in twrp once installed, install a compatible ROM then change the apn from the more settings \ data settings menu. Googling "boost mobile apn settings" should get you what you need for those fields. And for a first time APN changer, there are about 8 or so fields that you have to change to a specific set of alpha characters, slashes and all. Im at work, but ill check thei sthread later if i remember, or you can HMU on google hangouts later. im youdoofus there too.

Ok. I unlocked the apn menu so I can add custom apns. Not sure what to do tho. Even adding an apn, how would that give the phone number and imei number to this phone to be active like a reg phone? I have a sprint evo 4g thats flashed to boost that I use now. Im trying to activate the s5 tho.

A boost mobile sim. No, just get the sim from boost, call boost to move your service to the sim, put it in the S5, boot it up and continue on with life

i wish it was that easy. my evo was flashed using a samsung icognito. so boost thinks im using a samsung incognito. therefore i have to continue to make them think im using the incognioto and since it dont have a sim, they probably wont do it. which is y i need to flash it like the evo was flashed. or flash a sim card so the sim acts like the incognito.

it is that easy. Youre talking about two completely different animals. Your current phone uses CDMA for its activation, LTE devices are totally different. Boost is a sprint MVNO and sprint thought that clearwire was the way to go back in the evo days, which is why your evo doesnt have a sim card slot (clearwire was its own bespoke technology and didnt use sim cards). Dont think im right? Fine, just order a sim that isnt linked with your account, put a minimal amount of service on it, pop it in your phone and when it works, dont be surprised

im not saying i dont belive you. im just trying to avoid losing my current plan. its the $35 unlimited 3g plan. they dont think i have an android phone. im just not sure they can put my service on a sim and not raise my monthly rate? being as the incognito doesnt use a sim, do u think they would still put my service on a sim anyway?

if youre trying to retain the 3g unlimited plan, then youre likely going to need to do the same thing that you did with the incognito. moving an imei from phone to phone is teetering on the stuff not allowed on xda. im out on this

i know its called cloning, and that term is rather taboo here (hence why i refrained from using it), but MOAR is what i ran for over a year, and its a rockstar!
also, cloning an IMEI is only "ok" as long as you own both devices and NEVER part with the donor phone. I guess you could hulk smash it or lock it in a safe, but yeah.... touchy subject here

My point is that Att knows that I have an Essential phone ( we installed the sims in the store) and in fact I have 2 of them on my account and they both use LTE. I have seen the H show up when traveling down I70 in Eastern Kansas but is almost always says LTE. Maybe I am misunderstanding the issue here. Here are my APN settings.
Edit: I also am set to Global under prefered network types. Where I live the Speed seems much faster than set on 4G/LTE from my speed tests 45Mb vs 20Mb not sure if that is scientific or not.

Yes while you could use the device on AT&T as many of have it was not a recognized device by at&t. If you gave them your IMEI they wouldn't recognize the device as an official AT&T compatible device. Why some people like yourself don't get the full AT&T experience like LTE. That won't be an issue now. The essential PH-1 is an officially recognized device by AT&T.
So do I need a new sim now? I've been messing around with settings and still can't get 4G.
How many people are having the LTE issues?
Samsung had me reset my Bluetooth and Wi-Fi settings to try and fix the issue. Of course that didn't help. What does my Bluetooth and WiFi settings have to do with Cellular service? I think they are grasping because there is an actual defect in the phone. I purchased it directly from Samsung but I'm on Sprint. Sprint has acknowledged an issue but I didn't get it through them so I'm out of luck. When you spend over a thousand dollars on a phone, you expect it to work. I had two dropped calls this morning while driving in an area that has service. The phone is basically unusable unless you are on Wi-Fi. (at least with mine) I have a Galaxy s10 +

Same here with my Sprint Galaxy S10 Plus I'm Roaming 95% of the time and when LTE does kick in nothing loads. So I have to use Wi-Fi.
Exynos S10+ on T-mobile, no LTE issues on my model.
I mean, there is 3 totally different modems (exynos, qualcomm lte and qualcomm 5g), putting the title as all versions is novice at best, and click bait at worst.
Also something to keep in note, Sprint acknowledging a fault doesnt necessarily mean there is a fault or that it is a known issue, its just "good" customer service, they simply cant troubleshoot with the level 1 support, so its easier just to replace your device.
Anyway no issues with my Exynos (G975F) in Brazil with dual sim

No LTE issues with the unlocked on T-Mobile...
I've been having issues with my Unlocked S10+ on ATT. About every other day I lose my data but it still shows LTE, and this notification pops up. I don't get my data back until I restart my phone 1 or 2 times..
Side note: I've been getting this notification since I got my phone at the beginning of march. ATT can't seem to help me or even give me an answer to what's going on

Sorry about that, I just assumed since it's Sprint they were all Qualcomm LTE (which of course I am on) Wish I could edit the title to give a more detailed so it's not misleading.
It's funny though, if I run a speed test, speeds are great on LTE. It's just connecting takes forever, then the connection doesn't stay.
Don't get me wrong, I love everything else about the phone.

Others have posted online with the same issue since 2015. Do a quick Google search and you'll see. Some switch to a "postpaid" plan and the issue goes away. And some didn't have any issues until getting a new phone.

You know anyone on a postpaid plan with AT&T you could possibly swap SIM's with temporarily to see if the issue persists? Not sure how often it happens, if it's only once a day it may not be a feasible option.
May be able to be resolved with AT&T's firmware?
Did your Note 9 have AT&T's firmware or was it Samsung's unlocked firmware?

The note 9 I got from ATT, my s10+ I bought from Samsung directly.

Then maybe that would be your best bet, using their firmware
I received this. So... There may be hope. Lol

I'm getting very slow lte speeds on my s10plus Snapdragon with Verizon in my house which usually has a strong connection. 6mbps is terribly slow
ADS3 update with fingerprint patch and fresh factory reset. I did not use any restore methods. Just setup from scratch

Same location just restarted my phone and downloads instantly shot up to 50mbps. Better but still not right. I shouldn't have to restart my phone every few hours to be able download at a decent speed on lte

What carrier are you on? Factory unlocked?
So, I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile and the issue followed. I figured out that when I connected to LTE it would connect to band 2 or 4. If it does, my data stops working completely. I went in and disabled bands 2 and 4 and it works now.
I think there is an actual issue with the phone on bands 2 and 4. Just my opinion....
I'm completely up to date on the software as well.
