Hi! I'm running a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 from SMA Philippines supposedly having:
PDA: N9005XXUEND6
CSC: N9005OLBEND1
MODEM: N9005XXUENC2
Recently I flashed X-Note Galaxy S5 Port for Note 3 v2.5. I had a few struggles with the UI but I got through almost everything. I love the galaxy s5 features I now have without losing the Galaxy Note 3 features as well.
The PROBLEM:
Mobile data.
Connecting to the LTE network here takes really long and rarely unstable. My main problem is wifi hotspot tethering to my laptop. I used to tether all the time without any problems with the original rom. But since I flashed, I could still connect to my phone but my phone doesn't recognize it and the connection's data drops after 1 minute all the time. Please help!
Solutions attempted:
1. I tried flashing the modem md5 file that's XXUENC2 - same as the original - but it didn't change in the Baseband section in the settings. I'm surprised the data still works on the phone itself but only tethers for 1 minute then drops the data and the connection becomes 'limited' on the tethered laptop.
2. I also tried flashing the modem md5 file from the original Galaxy S5 ROM. It failed and didn't install.
Please help me! I love all the features on the X Note S5 Port ROM but this is my only concern! Please help! Thanks!
Update
As of now LTE / Mobile data is still very difficult to get but it does get connected sometimes. I try toggling the Mobile connection from just GSM to LTE to get connected. And seems to work sometimes.
My main problem still persists with the 1 minute data drop on hotspot. Please help! Thanks!
Update
UPDATE: On a side note, X Note's Ultra Power Saving Mode also restarts my Google Now Launcher and leaves it blank for some reason.

On my Galaxy Note 3, when at home I am connected to my WIFI. When I leave the house or switch off my WIFI the phone seems unable to connect to the network (in this case Three) and the browser, email and any other data apps state they cannot connect to the Internet.
The only way to resolve it is to switch on Flight Mode and then turn it off again. I saw a comment in the reviews for the Note 3's keyboard fix that one other person is experiencing the same as me.
Is anyone else having this problem and do you know of a permanent fix? The only info I can find is a similar issue on the Note 2 at time of launch which look to have been corrected by a patch.
i have this problem so i flashed h3g uk firmware and it kept failing, so i flashed back to uk btu firmware and im stuck with the exact same problem. no idea how to fix either,
p.s my problem only seems to be with google now, play store and sometimes on any app that uses internet i get news feed error no connection ect..
I am on Three network and mine works OK.

Solution
I think I have found a work around to this annoying problem. It was losing the ability to use any data when I left a WIFI spot I was connected to, or when out and about and the phone picked up an open WIFI spot. None of the WIFI advanced options made any difference. It would affect 3G data too, I'd lose all data access until I toggled Flight mode off & on...that was the only way I could get it working again other than restart the phone.
I found a post about a similar issue with the Note 2 when it was first released and it mentioned a WIFI power saving mode. It turns out you can get to this from the SeviceMode screen by dialing this number *#0011# (ServiceMode will start as soon as you enter the second #) - assume it is the same for all. Once in ServiceMode, tap the menu button and chose WIFI. You will then see a WIFI Power Save Mode label with a button underneath. Tap the button to set it to OFF.
I've been testing this all day, normally I'd lose data at least three times, sometimes more, while travelling but so far today everything has worked flawlessly ... no loss of data connectivity. From what I have been reading, switching off power save mode does not affect battery life despite what you might think and I've not noticed any unusual battery drain today so far. So if you are experiencing the same annoying loss of data, try this before you take your phone back. Hopefully this is a software issue that will be fixed in the future.
I swapped the phone
Hi,
I had something similar, except it wasnt wifi related, it happened after I lost the signal for a while (eg, in a lift/elevator).
I tried a new simcard, and that didnt help (also Three UK).
Then I got the handset swapped for a new one at carphonewarehouse, and it fixed the issue, so I put it down to a lemon unit.
cheers

on my s4 and n3 i did more than 10 tests each on wifi and 3g with phones simultaeneously, both on same network, both held in my either hands, both using speedtest both connecting to same server, both on the three network sims on the one plan with unlimited internet including tethering (both pans in my name), same location, same times tests were done.
both on 3g and wifi the n3 is MUCH MUCH slower than the s4 both on three network and same wifi
********************* on wifi on 3G
S4 PING TIME 32 to 173 66 to 86
N3 Ping Time 30 - 37 73 to 1110
S4 upload speeds 8 to 17.79mbps 1.65 to 2.27
N3 upload speeds 7.11 to 12.58 1.74 to 3.77
s4 download speeds 17.79 to 22.38 6.61 tp 7.68
N3 download speeds 7.93 to 12.58 mbps 0.92 to 8.04
the numbers are not just it, even during speed tests i was losing wifi connection on the N3 a couple of times and see the same happening on streaming youtube where it keeps stalling on wifi unlike the s4. surely there is something wrong with the hardware of firmware
Looks like the WIFI setting only helped and it has not solved my problem. l now lose network data connection less often when leaving a wifi zone but it still happens. More worryingly on two occasions now I have lost all access to three including calls, texts and data. Toggling Airplane mode brings everything back to life but this makes the service unreliable.
Sometime I also have this problem. This is similar to when I went overseas, I turned off the data roaming, but it always unable to connect to data when I returned. Usually I have to reboot it.
same problem
Same problem any one can help without custom rom

Just got this alert as it was in my spam box hence the late reply.
Had done this comparison video of the note 3 versus nexus 5 WiFi speeds on same router and nexus 5 was giving speeds of up to 50 Mbps and the Samsung galaxy note 3 was giving 0.5mbps plus drop outs! See video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-XvFPwTAGA
The router works fine with my 3 nexus 7 tablets, 3 Tegra note 7 tablets, Samsung galaxy note (original), 2x android mini PC, 2x smart TV's from Sony and LG, 2x smart bluray players from Sony and LG, laptop, smart camera from Samsung, Panasonic stranger, my NAS drives, 2x old HTC desire phones, a few other old phones from Sony and Nokia and media player from samsung and archos, the only device that ever had a problem with any Router is this Samsung galaxy note 3.
Main problem happens when there are open WiFi networks around our you have selected the auto detect in settings. Here is the solution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjL8JbSQCvw and now I get 50mbps with same phone and router! So it was **** Samsung software to blame!
Now I have triple sim adapter in phone and all three give me 3g signal in Many areas.

I have a Note 3 and this always happens to me when I return from travel overseas. I turn off mobile data and data roaming and use Wifi, but am never able to reconnect when I return. The first time I fixed this by rebooting. This time I tried restarting my phone, removing the battery, turning off Wifi Power Saving Mode by dialing *#0011#. Fortunately I was able to fix the problem simply by toggling Airplane mode without having to reboot. Hope this helps.

Hi,
I recently updated my phone to android 4.4.2. (official firmware KOT49.I9505XXUFNB9)
All went well, wifi works like it should, sms is good and calls too.
The problem i have is that my data connection (4g) is acting weird.
When i want to use my own connection on my phone like for Google play, facebook, games, web surfing, speedtest, ...., It all goes slow or does not connect at all.
But when i share this connection through USB and/or wifi hotspot there are no problems. Smooth as butter. No latency issues, timeouts, just as a 4G connection should be.
Thank you for helping and reading :good:
Thx for the 'help'.
Some news :
- Mobile connection goes from 4 bars to 1 if i switch from (WCDMA/GSM) to (LTE/WCDMA/GSM)
- Modem is good (flashed a few times, even other modem versions, but nothing works)
- I have a realy hard time to connect to any data network atm (3g and 4g).
- Modem and firmware version are the same as friends of mine (same country and provider) (Belgium, Mobistar)
- i had 4.2.2 before. Wanted to reinstall the firmware to get it all official again but the firmware was nowhere to be downloaded so i took a 4.4.2 and now everything is messed up.
The realy weird thing is that the data connection was the best at the standard 4.2.2 that was on the phone. Every other rom that i tried had a worse connection. (i tried ALOT of roms).
Dial *#1234# and attach screenshot.
Here you go.
Just attached a 2nd img from Samsung kies. Says (ORX). DOn't know what country that is, and i don't know what country code i sohuld take since belgium doesn't have its own code it seems. (Could this be the problem?)
I recently bought Samsung S5 G900F from a friend which updated it to latest lolipop 5.0 software, and after that wifi stoped working.
It was never rooted or etc. When i try to turn on wi fi i press button for turning on freezes and it doesn't show any wifi network. By my friends words it started after updating to lolipop. First i downloaded and flashed two 4.4.2 from sammobile and i there's no difference at all.... Second thing i found thread with latest modem on xda and nothing at all.
The only thing that helps for short while is from unkown reasons when i switch SIM cards it starts working but speeds are 200,300kb/s and signal is very low. And from some secret code went to wifi settings and turned off battery saving mode, it helped to now more often it works but for short while and slow speeds.
I don't have any ideas, what to do with it all sings show that it is software issue. Thanks in advance on replies
This erro my phone not my eny solution.?
About a month ago I noticed that my wi-fi is working weird. It is connected, but I can't use the Internet. Looking at the wi-fi icon I can see that it is sending data to my router, but it is not recieving anything back. I basically have the arrow going up, indicating upload, but no arrow down, indicating download. After a few minutes (or after restarting wi-fi) it goes to normal for some time and then it stops working again. I'm currently on optimised CM12.1, but it doesn't matter which ROM I use. My router works fine. I checked with another phone while my s4's wi-fi wasn't working. I was considering updating baseband and modem, but I wasn't sure which one to use. I'm in Poland and my carrier is Mobile Viking, but they use Play infrastructure (or T-Mobile, if play is unavailable). It isn't anything that would make me change my phone, but it is a bit annoing.

It's like you said. The only thing you can try is changing your modem.
Do you have a stable connection on other wifi networks?
I have no way of checking other networks (living in a small town with no public wi-fi). Which modem should I use? I'm in Poland nad I bought my S4 in a store (not from any carrier)

There is no best modem. You have to try it for yourself. I would suggest taking lollipop modems, but you have to be on a lollipop bootloader for that.
If I am on lollipop rom, does that mean that I have lollipop bootlader? When I bought my phone it was on android 4.4.2
Since lollipop my wifi has been terrible on my i9505 stock rooted. My iOS and windows devices are rock solid but sgs4 has crap connection strength. On previous devices the radio with the upgrade was normally to blame but I'd welcome any suggestions. Does cm12 use the same radio as stock?
Hello everyone. I have a samsung galaxy s7 edge (SM G935F) and i recently received the android 8.0.0 from samsung. Downloaded and installed directly via the cellphone.
But after updating i am getting this internet/connection drop issues a lot.
Now a lot of times when im connected in wifi or using the 4g mobile internet, im getting a lot of internet lag/drops. Example: at whatsapp, when i sens a message, the clock appears and only after a little rhe time the message is send.
Example 2: at facebook, somerimes it lags and takes too long to load the content (same happening in instagram). Or at clash of clans, it is showing that symbol of internet issue.
Besides those internet bugs/lags, the android 8.0.0 is ok.
I already did a factory reset yesterday via the phone, and saved the files with smart switch. But the problem persists. I also checked and my wifi internet and my mobile internet are ok.
Does anyone knows how to fix this issue? Is there a newer version of the ROM, maybe? Or if not, is ir possible to downgrade to android 7 again (really wouldnt like this option but....)?
If anyone could help that would be great. But for the record:im really newbie at android stuffs....if you can help, please could you explain step by step?
Thanks everyone
Another bug i am noticing: besides the internet crash/drop (wifi and 4g), i've noticed that it is taking too long to charge (around 3h...3:30h), even with fast charge.
Does anyone knows how to fix those bugs, or anyone is having those issues ?
Can i flash again the BTU ROM of android 8.0 from UK, with CSC from android 7.x from Brazil (ZTO)??? I mean, is it compatible?
thanks

Hi,
My S7e has just upgraded to 8.0.0 and is now having the same wifi lag issue. Did you manage to find a fix?
Thanks
Ady
I'm also noticing the same issue with my S7E. I'm on XEU.
Has anyone got the same issues with BTU as I'm considering swapping over?

I fixed the issue on my device. The problem was having power saving mode enabled, I use to run it all the time on nougat and never had an issue. Yet I turned it off and now there's no connection lag what so ever.
I was having the same issue with btu xeu even custom. On Oreo my wifi switch went totally gray and screen pattern unlock would also take 20-25 sec to unlock but then I flashed this kernel and everything works like a charm.
