[Q] N9005 only picks up 2G-EDGE - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I dunno if this a frequently asked question but my N9005 won't pick up any 3G signal here in Morocco. 2G works fine and when I try to force it into 3G mode only it doesn't pick up any signal AT ALL. I tried few official roms, even the Moroccan one but nothing. I read about SPT box flashing but That's not available in my city.
I'm running on 4.2.2 btw
AP : N9005XXUFNG2
CP : N9005XXUFNG2
CSC : N9005XXUFNG3

Guys please help ! I'm even thinking of changing my phone because of this. And I really love this phone !!!

Does your provider or the area you are in have 3g coverage ? Just asking. If you have set it in the settings, and you're in a 3g area it should work. Have you checked your APN settings ?
Sometimes mine won't connect to 4g, then i have to reboot it.
And it's forbidden to bump up your thread in less than 24 hours. What do you think, people are just waiting here to answer your questions ? No. Patience.

Are you using a local SIM or Roaming?
If you're using Roaming, not every provider has a contract with every other provider for every network. There needs to be a contract between providers before you can use the local 3G network.

Is the CSC you posted in the first post correct? If so, XUF is not a valid CSC code as far as I can tell. XXUF is the bootloader, it should not be in the CSC.
A faulty CSC can cause the device to be limited to GPRS.

Bro, I'm from Morocco too and I have the same phone as you as well as the same problem, but I managed to fix it in Derb Ghellef, just take your phone there and they will fix it in moments and only for 50 DH.
Good luck!

Hey Bro thank's for the answer … The thing is I'm from Kenitra and happen to go to Casa rarely … Do you have an idea of what they did ? Maybe I'll find someone here who can do the same !

Try changing some modems , I think this will help

[PROBLEM] Unable to receive/make calls in roaming

Hi everybody.
My SGS had Doc's Rom 9.1.4 from kitchen, with australian modem and hardcore's kernel.
In Italy, everything is fine.
Then, i went to Sweden, and the phone was TOTALLY UNABLE to do any kind of roaming.
Signal bars are shown, but with "Emergency calls only" string being displayed.
I was not able to do ANYTHING with an italian sim in my i9000 while in Sweden (i tried 2 of them, and both worked with my friend's SGS with a doc rom, so it's not a sim-related problem).
I borrowed from a friend a Swedish sim (Comviq) and it worked with no problems.
Today i came back to Italy, and the sim works again.
While in Sweden i thought i had a "software" problem, so i flashed last 9.9.5 docrom no wipe (no luck), then the 9.9.5 wipe (no luck again) and a JS5 version my friend had in his SD.
I tried to select manually the provider (telenor or telia or others) but a popup said it was impossible to connect and to automatically select one of them.
What's the problem, in your opinion?
I think it's a strong problem, basically my phone can't do any roaming.
Sorry missed a piece of text. Wich version modem you on?
Might be your modem is on 850 band only
I was on JL2 (australian one), then i tried JQ1.
The band-thing imho has not sense, 'cause when i put the swedish comviq sim it worked like a charm..
No experts on this out there?

Maybe you don't have roaming active? You should check with your operator.
Have you also tried using your sim in a different phone?

Is you IMEI correct? Maybe in Sweden they block access to their networks if you're roaming and your IMEI is not real.

Mobile Internet

Hi guys, I'm from Sydney Australia, I've recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 4G 32GB SM-N9005 from kogan.com.au which they ship you a hong kong internation version according them.
Now I haven't came across an issue so far other than my mobile internet not working, whether its 3G/4G (btw my carrier is Vodafone Australia) so I decided maybe I need to do a firmware update so when plugged in my phone on the pc and updated via Kies3, however the problem still exists.
The thing I wanted to ask is whether its a common problem the mobile internet isn't working the current firmware or is it my carrier or is the device not compatible in my region.
Just want to know who to blame why it doesn't work, whether its Kogan, Samsung or Vodafone. lol
Thanks in advance

There are too many variables so you need to do more research.
Some carriers need a special subscription to activate 4G on a given SIM.
Some carriers have 4G on very specific frequencies, which are not supported on modems for other regions/carriers.
Some CSCs disable LTE when a certain type of SIM is inserted (and you don't see options for GSM/WCDMA/LTE or 2G/3G/4G somewhere in settings).
Some carriers also might have specific APNs that are not supported by the list inside the CSC - in that case you might need to enter the settings for APN manually (or use a CSC that has the right APNs).
You need to call your carrier and ask for the correct APN settings..then your internet will work.

[Q] 4G / LTE issues please help

I have a weird issue with LTE on my Note 3. When I go to settings, and set network mode to LTE/WCDMA/GSM, LTE sign next to signal strength in status bar appears for a second, and then disappears. And I can't use 4G network.
So I'm asking you, if anybody else have this issues? Is it problem with carrier or phone?
Everything except that works without problems.
Thank you.
What's the model of your Note 3 and carrier?
Doubt this could be the issue but have you checked with the APN for your network?

Well, who knows, I changed APN settings and 2G/3G works, I'll see about 4G later because I can't catch the signal at home.
It's interesting that they have already sent me internet options by sms, and they are probably wrong.
It works now! I've just changed the APN settings and that's it. I can't believe that T-Mobile sends wrong settings.

You should give it a try if you didnt.(does not void warranty)
Contact google, they will probably send you a replacement if you dont want to mess with it that much.
Yes,data works but calls don't
I'm going to suggest a longshot here. It seems that you've gotten some good suggestions so far, so I want to throw this idea out there.
Have you "provisioned" your phone lately & updated the PRL? Meaning, have you told the phone to connect to your cellular carrier, then the carrier then tells your phone what services you are paying for & are supposed to have & what cellular towers you can use? Doing just this usually fixes all sorts of problems.
Go to Settings (the little gear icon), then More (in the Wireless & Networks). Cellular Networks, Carrier Settings. Tap on Update device config. Let it talk to the network. Tap on OK. After that, Update the PRL. Let it do it's thing. Tap on OK.
No reboot is necessary. It should be making calls, receiving calls & data should all be working.
Also, I keep the Preferred network type to global, although my carrier is CDMA & I'm in the US.
Hi dear , can't find carrier setting , I am search in the all my phone can't find it

my phone is also can not call and receive calls,text and 4G are still useful.It just stay in 4g and can not change to 2/3g.Hope someone can help us.

Help - Note 4 - SM-910G INU working only on 2g GSM.

UPDATE - 25/10/16 - Gave phone to Samsung Service center and they have updated me today that they found the radio is corrupted possibly so they have asked Samsung to give them a confirmation to proceed with Radio firmware reloading which includes IMEI re-coding. There's a chance of even them getting the device bricked of course but lets see what happens.
Hello all,
I have SM-N910G with latest stock rom (N910GDTS1DPI1).
Was using this phone on Reliance Jio VOLTE since end July and had set network more to LTE only (sicne RJio only has 4g LTE coverage).
Last thursday morning I noticed the phone is not registered on network and on trying to troubleshoot further by switching to a different (Vodafone) SIM, realized that the phone is only able to register on GSM (2G) networks and Edge data works too.
Have tried factory reset (and reloading of stock ROM thru ODIN including NAND erase using PIT files too) to check if I can get the phone to work on 3g/4g but no use. Seems like this is hardware issue (radio gone faulty?).
The phone is 18 months old so out of standard warranty hence I'm not much hopeful that Samsung Service center will be of any help. Before I take this there, just wanted to check if anyone else faced such issue before and have managed to sort the same out.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Thanks but it's not an apn issue. The phone doesn't simply register on any 3g or 4g networks. Hence the thought that it's hardware issue.

Please if you get any solution do post here

What do you mean by not getting Volte on any SIM? It's only for Reliance Jio. For other service providers, you need to get a 4G SIM before you can use 4G.
My phone is now dead bricked and beyond repairs as confirmed by Samsung service center. I'm not spending 15k for motherboard change.
4g
I have idea 4g sim but when I insert it
My note 4 doesn't shows it it says no sim card
Insert sim when I put Jio sim I get no service/ Jio 4g
Emergency calls only signal when I tried bsnl 3g
& Tata Docomo 3g sims both sims getting network
Signal & I can call also but when I tried to connect to internet by using these 3g sims my mobile connects and switchs off suddenly I have to pull out battery or connect to charger to start the mobile
This is my problem

That's weird indeed. Have you ever tried any custom Roms or rooting because of which your Knox status would have tripped? In any case it's worth taking the phone to nearest samsung service center. They charge just 200 bucks to inspect the issue and another 200 to reload the software if needed. But in my case it was hardware fault so they couldn't do anything.

All the best mate. Just remember that they will ask you to sign up for Dead Brick risk which means you're OK if device goes dead during software flashing. The only way to get device working again is to replace motherboard which costs around 15k.
