Guys wondering if you can help me, i recently upgraded phone and changed the csc from Three Ireland to dbt and installed lollipop, since then my Phone app is draining battery, if i see with gsam involved process, it shows CSC, dialer storage, sim toolkit , phone etc.
If i reset APN or delete and then enter new APN then it seems to calm down but starts again after restart.
I installed the lollipop on my previous note 4 as well but didn't change the CSC from BTU to DBT and all was fine, this time i did and since problem started.
Could it be diff Modem or something used by Three ireland and DBT Germany or could it be bad sim, but i have tried other sim in my phone and still same issue.
Any idea why it is doing it?
Well I have a DBT German Note 4 (bought from Amazon.de) and have flashed lollipop myself too. I'm also on 3 Ireland / O2 network here and I'm not experiencing any drain problems like that - so not sure your problem can be related to a modem incompatibility.
Have you tried doing a fresh factory install on it again?

Hi.
I recently bought a Galaxy Note 3 which was, i think, imported from Iran. I upgraded the firmware/CSC/Modem to the Netherlands version of the rom available from SamMobile.com which is N9005XXUDMJ7_N9005PHNDMJ4_N9005XXUDMJ7_HOME.tar. After this my phone has the following info when I type *#1234#
AP N9005XXUDMJ7
CP N9005XXUDMJ7
CSC N9005PHNDMJ4
This is just like how it should be after upgrading to this rom. What I did afterwards is rooting the rom with Chainfire's root method, which works perfectly. But what I notice is that my GPS sometimes keeps telling me that I'm in Meer Jawe or other places in Iran. When I switch on WiFi it immediately switches back to the place where I am at that moment.
Does someone have any idea how this issue can be solved?
Install these 2 apps. Both free. Better GPS Fix. Open the app and set your continent and region closest to you. GPS Status and Toolbox. Open app, click Menu, Tools. Clear and re-download AGPS. Not sure which app to run first but it might not matter. If you have problems again in the future clear the AGPS and re-download again.
BTW you posted this in Themes and Apps section. Better to post in questions and troubleshooting
my advice, always get your phones in your country, above all, warranty , when you buy oversea, most likely, you will encounter problems that otherwise would be solved by warranty fron an authorized dealer, in my country, Mexico, Telcel carrier checks the IMEI, only that, no need to show a proof of purchase, and solves any issue within 10 days, I dont know how it is done in your country, but I know that in Europe ,law is more consumer oriented than my country´s, so, think about that for future phones
My N9005 had all ussd codes running when i bought it ( it was on stock mj1) , now after i rooted and flashed stock rooted odex mj7 from here the *#0*# is giving me "connection problem or invalid MMI code", though the carrier's USSD's are working fine (the one that gives us our remaining minutes and others)
I have no idea if my CSC changed during the process, but the rom was a full wipe rom
Any help?
Guys,
My phone never locks onto a 4G signal, as if its disabled.
Tried many solutions, editing lte_on list (my network was already there, never had to edit), setting property file to True, but none has worked so far. Im thinking of changing my CSC Code to BTU, since I have a stock firmware for that and most custom roms have the CSC for it.
I have never paid attention to what CSC Im on, since it gets changed and it always says applying multi-csc rather than displaying which one. So this time Im gonna flash a stock rom with full (pit) wipe and try to change it to BTU.
is there anything else that I should try before this step?
Its a N9005 Generic International device, purchased from a samsung store, and yeah I have the WCDMA/LTE option in network settings.
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I am new to Samsung but like many I was tempted by the Note 4. I bought my Note 4 in Dubai (unlocked and not tied to any provider) but when I tried using it in the UK with a UK SIM (EE) I am not able to make/receive calls when set on LTE/WCDMA/GSM but I can when I select GSM Only. Samsung UK is not interested, Samsung Dubai poit me towards Samsung Egypt (because apparently this is an Egypt region phone) and Samsung Egypt do not understand what my problem is and keep sending my region unblock codes when the phone is not region locked.
Has anyone had this before and if yes what did you do to fix this?

I have been reading a lot about rooting and flashing ROMs but being new to this I am not confident enough to get into all that. I hope there is a solution without the need for rooting !!!

SIM works on my HTC One and 4G signal here good so I do not think it is the SIM. I updated firmware two days ago using Kies but no change. I am starting to suspect some sort of network blacklisting by Samsung but not sure. I also spoke to my network provider and problem not with them.
I want to test the phone in Middle East first to make sure that it is not some hardware fault bit if not my only option may be rooting and flashing different ROMs. I am also hoping that Lollipop may solve it but no way to get it now as I am not rooted yet.

Download Samsung phone info from play store, check your region, also you can check knox warranty is void? U can also check refurbishment check from same app, seems to me u purchased online, not from authorised store of dubai.

This are the mine screen shot for dubai rom, u can compare.
Thanks for the screenshots. I compared with yours and it is now even more clear that mine is an Egypt phone. Do you know if I can flash the UAE firmware on my phone with or without rooting and if that would work so that the CP, SP and CSC are the same as yours rather than the Egypt ones?

my friends have this similar problem and its fix
This is how "you need a working sim from the country when you buy the samsung phone"
all you have to do is make a international call for 15 minutes to the original country
example u bought the phone in egypt so u need a working egypt simcard just call the operator in egypt and listen to the operator for 15 minuts from UK after 15 minutes (make it 20 minutes just in case) turn off your phone and change it with the UK sim card
this method works for me
u dont need to flash or root the phone
just remember this method only work with samsung unlock phones from middle east
I've searched the forums and no one seems to have an exact FIX for my issue. So I have a Galaxy Note 3 N9005 32GB black version, the phone works well in 3G, never had an issue with it but now my network provider recently upgraded their plan and offers 4G internet but my phone doesn't want to connect. The provider offers 4G through BAND 1 2100MHz and Note 3 N9005 does have that band but it doesn't want to connect. It only works on 3G and when I enable Mobile Data it says H+! Not once has it connected to 4G!
I wanna mention that my friend has the exact same N9005 phone and his phone works on 4G all the time. Both of us have the same contract with the same network provider!
The only difference between our phones is the CSC region, we have different CSC. MY SIM card works in 4G on his Note 3 and his sim card doesn't work on 4G on my phone. (we exchanged the SIM cards for testing). So the problem is from my phone not from the SIM card. My phone is also original, its not a Chinese clone! Its confirmed with "Samsung Phone Info" app from Play Store.
Here's a few things I already did that some of you may be inclined to recommend to me:
1 - My APN is correctly set
2 - I am on official stock Android Lollipop 5.0 latest version and the phone is not rooted
3 - I already did a factory reset + wipe cache partition
4 - I saw others suggesting that people may not be in the range of a 4G tower! Not the case! Like I said, I switched the SIM cards with my friend on a public bench, out in the open, not even behind walls. Of course and his phone connects to 4G with his SIM card and also with MY SIM card while my phone doesn't connect to 4G with neither of these SIM cards.
5 - In Mobile Networks > Network Mode, my phone is of course already set on 4G/3G/2G (auto connect) and by the way, my friend's Note 3 says LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect) instead of 4G/3G/2G with the same language set on both phones. Why?? I know its the same thing and I know 4G stands for LTE and 3G for WCDMA but why does it appear differently on these phones?
6 - I already went to Service Mode via *#0011# and manually selected BAND 1 LTE, it says "no service" or "emergency calls only" if I do that so I switched back to "Automatic"
So what the heck is going on? This phone is giving me headaches! I'm close to smashing my phone! After this I sweared to my self this is the last Samsung phone I ever buy. Probably I will be switching to Asus or Lenovo in the future. Or any other phone that does NOT have this CSC BS! This CSC thing is a complete rip-off!
Im thinking that the problem could be my CSC perhaps?? My friend's Note 3 N9005 has a COA CSC (Cosmote Romania) and I have a XEF CSC (Unbranded France). Both phones are factory unlocked and work in all networks. They are not branded by any phone maker! His COA CSC is unbranded. Yes it belongs to a phone retailer but that retailer doesn't brand their phones, no bloatware, no SIM lock. If you buy a phone from Cosmote (with COA CSC) it works in all networks, unlike Vodafone or Orange who lock their phones and brand them.
What should I do? Should I attempt to change my CSC? If so, how? My phone warranty has expired a long time ago, so I shouldn't care that much about triggering Knox though not triggering it would be preferred.
Which path should I pursue? Should I simply use ODIN and flash a STOCK COA CSC (Cosmote Romania) or STOCK ROM CSC (Unbranded Romania) from SamMobile.com with the latest version of Lollipop? Would this trigger Knox? Will it affect my all networks unlocked status? I mean, I won't have to unlock it after that, right???
OR should I ROOT my phone, change CSC, then UNROOT? If so do you know of any method to root Lollipop 5.0 without triggering Knox?
What do you guys think? Whats the problem with my phone? Why doesn't it work on 4G? Because of CSC? Or is it something else?
Thanks!
The best way to confirm the model # would be to boot into Odin mode and look there.

What do you mean? Can you be more specific? I already told you my model number, its N9005!! Do you want a screenshot?
Dear OP, have you tried the other Samsung secret code? *#2263# then program it to accept LTE only.
That's the only foolproof way to get the Note to connect to LTE. In my country I only get 2-3 of the 5 LTE bars, so the Note wouldn't automatically connect to LTE or immediately stoop down to 3G through the settings. That specific secret code and setting is LITERALLY THE ONLY WAY TO GET MY NOTE 3 TO CONNECT TO LTE IN MY EXPERIENCE.
If that still doesn't get your phone to run LTE, either your carrier is whack or your phone is, and no amount of Cyanogenmod can fix it because your hardware modem inside the phone might be whack and you can't really do anything if that's the case...

I have already explained that there is nothing wrong with my carrier because I switched my SIM card with my friend's phone who has exactly the same N9005 model and it perfectly works on 4G on his phone. The only difference I could find in our phones is the CSC.
As for the other suggestion you sent me, I already said that I've been to SERVICE MODE. The code you've given me does nothing on my phone but as I can see from your screenshots, it gets you to SERVICE MODE. I've already been there through *#0011# switched to LTE/GSM only or LTE/WCMA only and I've explained that it still doesn't do anything.
Can someone please answer me this? Would it help if I change the CSC? Could this be the problem I'm having???
It may help if your CSC is changed it can do no harm .

Booting into download mode will confirm the model #. Looking under the ROM's settings is not guaranteed to display the proper model #.
Both phones are running the same ROM, bootloader, and modem?

Yes confirmed, same model, same baseband, same everything. The only thing different is the CSC. So whats next?
Did you try changing the csc by dialling *#272*enter IMEI#? Not sure if this method will work for your model of note 3.

It doesn't work! just my luck! I entered this code: *#272*IMEI-number# and pressed call button, it says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code."
I just tried it on my Note 2 and S4 and it works. Maybe the phone is not running a multi-csc stock ROM?
I don't have a note 3 to try.

Perhaps the code you gave me only works on older version of Android such as KitKat or whatever you have on Note 2... anyway Im using Samsung Phone Info app from Play Store and my CSC is XEF and under Available CSC Codes there is a bunch of CSC codes. Here I've made a sccreenshot:
From as far as I know there are only 2 ways to change the CSC: root or flash a different stock ROM
Yes, the note 2 has kit kat but the s4 is running stock lollipop.

Well unfortunately the code doesn't work on my phone. Anyway if you know for a fact, could you tell me this? Is it safe to reflash another STOCK rom from sammobile? Will it affect my phone in any way?
Thanks
Yes, it is safe to flash stock ROMs from sammobile.com.
I just flashed a local stock ROM and guess what, when I go to Phone Info app it still shows the same CSC! I still have XEF CSC, how can this be? Why hasn't the CSC change?
After flashing the stock rom, did you try the csc code I mentioned? Same thing happens when I flash a Rogers carrier rom over a Telus carrier rom. Once I select telus as the carrier from the csc menu, the Rogers app will disappear and the Telus app appears.
Ok after further researching I found a lot of interesting stuff so I'm gonna write it all down for other people who may need it in the future.
1 - If you have a multi-CSC phone and you flash a different CSC but which is in your "Available CSC" list but which you cannot choose or change without root, your CSC will NOT change. For example: I have flashed ROM CSC (Open Romania) on my XEF CSC (Open France) and guess what after the flash was successful and all, the CSC didn't change! It was still on XEF because ROM was in my "available list".
2 - If you try to flash a different CSC which is NOT in your list, then Odin will FAIL and softly brick your phone. For example: I got my phone bricked, trying to flash 2 CSCs which are not in my "available list": COA (Cosmote Romania) and DBT (Open Germany). In order to fix this issue all you have to do is to reflash YOUR OWN CSC, in my case it was XEF. Or you can even flash one of those CSC which are "available" or compatible so to say, such as "ROM" for example.
This is the firmware I currently have on my phone:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/61565/N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005OXXGBOJ2_XEF/
These are the two firmwares I tried to flash on my phone, hoping to replace XEF with:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/63441/N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005COAGBOK1_COA/
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/61464/N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005DBTGBOI1_DBT/
BOTH FAILED in Odin!
There are ONLY 2 ways to change the CSC on newer Samsung phones. Most guides online are based on KitKat 4.4 or older guides but for 5.0 Lollipop or even NEWER there are ONLY 2 ways to change your CSC:
1 - Root your phone and change the CSC. There are plenty of guides on how to do that online.
2 - You can avoid rooting your phone and use Odin instead, BUT accompanied by your stock firmware, you will also have to find and use a PIT file because Samsung as of 5.0 Lollipop uses different partitions for all the different regions. HOWEVER messing with PIT files is super risky and it can permanently brick your phone so its just better to root your phone instead! Dont waste your time trying to flash different regions/csc which is not in your available csc list, it won't work!
What can I say? Samsung is trying hard to block their users from changing their CSC... Why? They prefer their users buy new phones. Its pure greed yes but its what it is... For me, this was the last Samsung phone I ever buy. Im truly disappointed.
I have a Galaxy S8 Duos (G950FD - Dual Sim model), which has had CSC changed to allow me to use Samsung Pay in UK, as well as other features.
Phone is now configured with XEU CSC
I am unable to find the options to enable Wi-Fi Calling on this phone. Anyone know why ?
I have NOT tripped Knox Warranty on this phone (changing CSC does not trip Knox) and have NOT flashed any custom ROMS, bootloaders or recoveries, or rooted the phone. Firmware information is shown below -
When i got from s8 direct from samsung uk it had a btu csc, im on three and wanted wifi & volte so i flashed the three firmware with the csc file and it change my csc to hg3.
Wifi now showed in the dialer settings and worked fine but i never knew if volte worked as i never saw the icon show for it.
I went back to stock from three with an oxm csc file and this changed my csc to xeu/xeu/btu and not btu/btu/btu , now i have lost wifi calling with xeu yet others here say they have it with xeu.
Yeh I have it with xeu, had to re-enable it with Vodafone UK after that it appeared...also after I flashed xeu firmware I factory reset it again.

Thanks @jadaress1!! That was exactly what I needed. I turned off phone, got hold of Vodafone, asked them to turn off WiFi calling on my SIM and turned on phone. Waited for a few minutes and turned off phone. They then re-enabled WiFi calling on my SIM. I waited for 15 minutes, turned on phone, went to Phone > Settings and down at the bottom, Wi-Fi Calling now appeared and I could enable it.
