i forget to tell that ihave two differnt IMEI whe i dial *#06# the IMEI shows is different from the which is under the battery i.e two different IMEI
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jdomadia:
Note 3 works with only 3G enabled SIM

I have a Note 3 SM-N9005, which is an UK(European) model bought in Dubai.

I was using this in India, for the last one month with Airtel 3G (WCDMA)enabled.

When I had a problem with 3G network availability, I tried to switch to 2G(GSM) and to my surprise 2G never worked or it continues to fail to register on the network(manual or automatic).

After troubleshooting a bit more, I found out that this phone works only with 3G Service enabled SIM card only. I have visited Samsung service center with but no success.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Above post is from this same Indian thread, post # 2804 follow this.

My phone IMEI number is same and its purchased from authorized Samsung store, my phone is not rooted also, below is the solution for your phone which I copy paste for your ref.

I fixed My SM-N9005 using SPT box and i have 2G/GSM working again

it has been unlocked using super imei with the SPT Box to work outside Europe

unfortunately there was a bug in the 2G/GSM network

they fixed it now ..

so all you have to do is find any mobile repair shop near you that has the SPT Box

connect your N9005 to the Box using USB in ( dm+modem+adb ) mode by dialing *#0808# in Samsung's Dialer ..

Choose N900w8 from the list then click Repair 3G Network ( this will Fix the 2G network )

then choose N9005 again and press repair 3G network again ( this will reFix the 3G network with 2G working too )

this will not restore the original IMEI - S/N but the phone will be fully functioning

This widget app is great

I replaced samsung original widget with this widget
[Galaxy Note 3 General] digesh9870:
I got Galaxy note 3 sm n900 three months back and now it has started to lag a bit and reboots randomly.

There are numerous problems that I am facing with it.

1) When I am connected to wifi with mobile data turned on, I would get an alert saying " The internet connection is unstable".

To solve this, I tried all the possible solutions like resetting my router, switching the IP settings under network configuration to static and I also turned off the wifi power saving mode. But none of these could fix the issue.

2) The auto brightness does not seem to work correctly. The brightness level changes only when I turn off the display and turn it on again or if I uncheck the auto brightness in the status bar and again check it.

3) The third major issue is with the performance of the device. I am noticing random reboots though rebooting is very rare. At times, the device would be too laggy and will work normally only after waiting for few seconds. And sometimes the device will freeze and it will either perform hard reboot or soft reboot. When the device hard reboots itself at random, i will have to enter the sim unlock pin and also my s-view cover won't be recognised untill I remove it and place it back again. But when the device is soft rebooted, the boot time is much less and then I don't have to enter sim unlock pin. Also the s-view cover will work correctly.

4) Once during a call, I noticed a weird change in my display. The display shifted abnormally. I could see few on screen buttons and few on screen buttons were shifted such that I could not see them nor I could use those buttons. (As it occurred when I was calling someone, I could see only the speaker, mute and keypad options; that too they were shifted at unusual positions and I was not able to see the end and bluetooth headset buttons.)

It would be great if someone could help me with this. Is there any hardware problem with the device or any software issues?

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] js2892:
I've installed the new update. Nothing major. It's just a stability update.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] drrkgupta:
Installed the new update through Kies. The file downladed was about 1.2 GB in size and the tar file is 1.94 GB in size (N900XXUDND1_N900ODDDNA3_N900DDUDNC1_HOME.tar).

Upgraded any ROM through Kies for the first time! The upgrade process is very easy and is similar to the odin update! May be with time the developers will find a file which is just tar file which we have to copy in the temp folder and the kies update will flash it for us! No using Odin!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] drrkgupta:
Just saw this new feature " Safety Assistance". Don't know if it was there before!

Any new features observed??

Was hoping for the ultra power saving Mode! :(

May be some one will make an apk for it!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] digesh9870:
The OTA update is of only 29 MB. How come the update through kies is 1.28 GB ? After update, was your device completely wiped and factory reset ?

And safety assistance is now a basic feature available on almost all new Samsung devices.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NoteboyTech:
Cause Kies downloads the full package like if you update via Odin so from sammobile you'll download the full package therefore same way kies does! yet it is safer!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] digesh9870:
So if I update through kies, will it factory reset my device?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NoteboyTech:
First make a backup via Kies only.. then start the firmware upgrade process! Maybe it doesn't wipe data cause the same way odin doesn't wipe data but you can always use kies to backup!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] peRFect!:
Nope.. unless some major error occurs causing u to lose data.. thats why sammy warns to backup data with kies before updating!

but i have never heard of such occurence..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] digesh9870:
Okay. Have you noticed any changes in the new update? Where can we find the changelog of the update?

One more query. After the update, whenever any update of apps appear on play store, and after I update the app, the same update would appear again instantly. Any app would be updated only if I update it twice. Please help. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] peRFect!:
I don't own the phone.. So idk!

U can check it out in kies.. They mention the changes.. But if it's a small update, they will simply mention it as a "stability update"..

Well that shouldn't happen.. But u can ask others whi own the phone!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] drrkgupta:
The updation process reminded me of the rom flashing which I did on my galaxy s2 via cwm or mobile odin! Same upgrading the apps as was after installation and cleaning of cache.

My device did not undergo factory reset at the time of updation.

Anybody could help please.

At times, I notice that the stock launcher starts lagging very much and the weather widget that I have added on the home screen becomes invisible. Upon clicking the area where the widget was placed, it will still open the weather widget. But the widget itself is invisible. And after few minutes, in the app drawer and in widgets tab, for few stock widgets such as help and weather, I could not see the widget name but only the package name (com.sec.android...) with Android logo instead of the logo of the widget itself. All other apps would function normally without any lag, but only the stock launcher would lag a lot.

This would be resolved only after restating the device. Please help.

Hi Parvesh,

I have a white Spigen Neo Hybrid cover. White cover on a white note 3 looks very sexy. Additionally I don't think it is aluminium. I got this at a very good price from US Amazon site as I got it delivered at a friends place who was travelling to India. However it should be available at amazon.in. You can also try Urban Armour Gear it is solid and looks good (depending on your age too ;) it also has a free world wide shipping and I believe that if you have a 45 grand phone you can alteast spend 3 grands on a cover which can protect it and make it look sexy. (Guys totally my view please don't criticise me for it).

No I don't think so, thats a way of making money from this product.

For others information I has contacted the customer care before I was about to purchase this case from the site, it was clearly brought out that the Spigen cases sold are not having the authenticity code. For this reason I bought the case from US.

For people who are planning to buy from mobile fun kindly contact the customer care regarding the authenticity. For more info please google spigen counterfeit products

Reverting back from Kitkat to jelly bean

Hello friends,

I have Note 3 (N900) indian make model.

I have recently updated the firmware to kitkatXXUDND1.

I wish to revert back to the 4.3.3 jelly bean.

(PDA: N900XXUBMI5

CSC: N900ODDBMI3

MODEM: N900DDUBMI3)

How can I revert back. I have seen the firmware in sammobile and know how to flash using ODIN.

My questions are :

1. would that trip knox ?

2. Is it possible to revert back at all ?

3. Any other suggestion or alert.

Regards,

Akshay
[Galaxy Note 3 General] enigmaamit:
Sorry buddy. As far as I know, it can't be done. With or without tripping knox, there is no wa of downgrading bootloader (which is what you'll need to go down from kitkat to JB)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] vijai2011:
Tempered glass aren't so great. Could still get scratched. Scratched mine in just 7 hours.Tech armour was generous enough to send me a replacement but since this was bought with us address and nobody was there to collect it, I didn't ask for one.

Only advantage is, though scratched, it doesn't do nasty refractions
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bhupendrafire:
Well. It is a screen protector. It will obviously scratch. But it doesn't let the main screen shatter and that's what took me away for it. And I can live with a scratch on my screen protector. It's acceptable. Ain't expecting a gorilla glass as a screen protector now are we :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vijai2011:
That's fine if you understand it's scratchable. Most people don't agree on that.

I'd suggest to go for tech armour given their lifetime replacement. regarding my case, I just *informed* them about rusty stains on the alcohol cleaning swabs and minor scratches. They right away asked confirmation for shipping replacement and a picture of the swab as proof. They even offer replacement for user installation errors. That because it's just that easy to apply
