I've rooted every phone I've ever had no issues going back to the g1 iphones evo etc. Just follow instructions . For note 3 use kingo root latest version and use region unlock app works flawlessly . Only thong I would advice against is straight talk. But guess its too late
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agent4678:
My Note 3 is having issues holding on to my wireless connection. I have an Asus RT-AC66U running merlin firmware. It connects temporarily, then disconnects and says it disabled the network because the Internet connection is to slow. I have had 3 other 802.llac compatible devices working without problems. 2.4GHz 802.11n works fine. I'll dig in more when I get back home. Anybody else having issues?

edit:

Apparently this thing doesn't like 5GHz networks at all, and it doesn't even see ad-hoc networks shared from two laptops I have tested. I might have to get it replaced, as I haven't seen to many other people having problems. It is definitely a problem with the phone and not my network connection.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Appolusionist:
I have the same model router using stock firmware and had the same issue with the disconnects with my Note 3 while other devices were working perfectly. I powercycled my router yesterday and I have not had the issue return.....yet.

Same issue here, I have Asus RT-AC66U and the Note 3 keeps disconnecting from the 5GHz while other devices are fine on wifi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zmore:
802.11ac won't be an official finished standard until next year, so, there's still room for improvement. New firmware for an AC AP and note3 should probably iron out bugs.

I'm about ready to upgrade to the Asus RT-AC66U myself (once it drops below $180 again), from a 2-year-old Netgear wndr3700 w/ddwrt. Will probably slap DDWRT onto it as well to compare wireless performance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agent4678:
I finally have some time off to do some testing this weekend so I'll see what I come up with. I did notice that sometimes the connection would stabilize if i was sitting near the router and start acting crazy when I got up to do something. I disabled the "Explicit beamforming" option in the router and did notice an improvement. The top test below is with beamorming enabled. The bottom test was with it disabled. Still dropped a little in the middle but much better than before. I toggled the setting and ran the test a few times and was able to repeat the results, though this still might be nothing. Ill report back later with anything else I find.

asus ac66u

I am also running merlins firmware on my ac66u...I cant watch youtube videos while on wifi for some reason and also phone calls drop while using wifi calling...hopefully samsung will get the drivers straight a.s.a.p. everything else connects fine(15 devices) no problem...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wing_addict_usa:
Just for giggles, what's the phone ac speed? They're only doing 72 n 2.4, 150 n5. What's the ac5? Why don't they work on maxing n5 before jumping the gun.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agent4678:
The AC speed on this phone goes up to 433Mbps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] truDanki:
Hello there... I just wanted to mention that i had made the jump to netgear ac1450 (ac, 2.4ghz, 5ghz) it was between that and the asus. But i picked the netgear because costco had a special sale on it, plus costco has awesome Costumer Service, and warranty in case something goes wrong... anyhow long story short, i am able to use both the 2.4 ghz and the 5 ghz without any hickups at least for now( knock on wood). although i would like more range it is definitely outdoing my linksys wrt54g which i had dd-wrt installed on both speed and range. From about 30 feet i get about 3-4 bars on the 2.4 ghz and about 2-3 bars on 5 ghz. also the signal is going through 2 ceilings. I will update if i experience any trouble, honestly i was a little worried when i received my phone because i had some wifi issues the first couple of days ( drop wifi and what not) but i haven't noticed it recently ive had the note 3 for about 2-3 weeks so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agent4678:
Interesting. Your Netgear appears to use the BCM4708 chip, whereas the ASUS uses the BCM4706. I wonder if the BCM4339 in the Note 3 is more compatible with one over the other. You would think that coming from the same manufacturer they would all be compatible. I am still running my phone through some tests, but so far it seems like there is something hardware/software related in this phone that does not like any 5GHz network I connect it to. Disabling explicit beamforming helped for a while, but the problem started happening again this morning.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] truDanki:
just a quick update, i just flashed the latest firmware o my netgear ac1450 router which enhances/enables beamforming+ especially on 5ghz (from version 1.0.0.8 to 1.0.0.14) and i must say that my connection has improved further more its mostly on 3 bars sometimes 4 although i still seen it drop to 2 every now and then..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agent4678:
I returned the ASUS and ordered a netgear r7000 for a few bucks more. It should be here by Wednesday. I'll see how wifi works then, but I am not holding my breath.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] emtownsend:
RT-AC68R on 3.0.0.4.374_339 is good

FWIW, I have the Asus RT-AC68R on stock firmware 3.0.0.4.374_339. My wireless on 5GHz has been solid. I did a Speedtest last night which came back with 29.3Mbps down and 3.8Mbps up, and this was sitting one room away from the AP.

Before flashing to this firmware however, the 5GHz would never stay connected and once disconnected, I would have to access the router control panel and make a change, then exit and the 5GHz would be back. But now, on the newer firmware, it's been very good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] derichio02:
I am using the netgear r6300 v2 with stock firmware with no problems
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Prod1702:
I am using the RT-AC68U with AC I have no problems on my note 3. Only thing I guess you could say is a issue is every now and then the phone connects to WiFi and shows no WiFi signal but it connects and runs fine. If I reboot the phone the problem is gone. It happens like once every other week if that. I have the Comcast 300mbps down and 25mbps up connection. The highest the phone has done with WiFi is 165mbps down. This is on whatever the latest firmware is now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MSK1:
Don't u have to change the SSID to make sure u are using the AC signal properly?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LostKeys:
I also experience this issue with my RT-AC66U. I think the problem is that ASUS hasn't put in the option to set the 5GHz band as 100% 802.11ac, so if anyone else is connected it has to drop down to whatever crappy standard is before it. The current 802.11ac routers are really designed to be bridged to a second one. The insane throughput lets you create a solid high speed 2.4GHz network across a decent sized area.However, 802.11ad is going to poop on everything.

You have to chance the SSID to separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels. If you wan't guaranteed AC you'd have to only allow supporting devices on that band.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] smaisonville:
This is my two cents.

I use RT-AC66U with stock firm ware. I set up two SSIDs one for each frequency. That way if one falls over it will connect to the other connection. In My experience the 5ghz works best.

There are mixed results in this thread. What works for one does not work for another. I don't think it is the router, the Note 3 just does not play nice with Wifi. In researching Wifi problems was not tied to one router it points more to the Note 3.

Since I set up two SSID I have found it more reliable. I also use Tasker to control my Wifi and reassociate the Wifi connection.

I also found this problem to be intermittent. I have had my Note 3 since the release and did not have problems until last month. For the last few weeks it seems to be more reliable.

T-MOBILE has a trouble shooting page.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zmore:
FWIW, I also had a horrible time with TouchWhiz disconnecting my 5GHz wifi all the time, saying "Your WiFi is Unstable". I have a Netgear R7000 router, known for its awesome range, but still TouchWhiz complained even when I was getting 4/5 bars. Anyway, long story short: After switching to CyanogenMod a couple weeks ago my WiFi problems are gone.

e.g.: When playing GoogleMusic via ChromeCast in another room, I often couldn't even play half a dozen songs before randomly having my 5GHz connection dropped, which results in the playlist being stopped as well, and getting kicked back to the GoogleMusic "play something" screen. With CM, I haven't had a dropout yet. Soooo... clientside firmware matters, and this is something that Samsung might have a fix for down the road in their KK update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ascrackoo1:
On the AC1450, the entire 5GHz channel is unstable, N and AC. not just android but ios devices too.

Hi,

I'm using Note 3 with RT-AC66U.

The max speed I ever hit using the 5G wifi is 70mbps. Same as my iPhone 5S (which only supports up to 802.11n)

Is there anything that I have missed out in the setup?

Hi all,

I've been using Samsung Note 2 since November 2012 and have never ever had any problems in operating Wi-fi.

However, suddenly, today morning, the wi-fi has stopped working in my office. What happens is the connection process breaks down at the Obtaining IP Address stage, and then it says "Network Disabled - Poor Connection". Never has this happened ever before.

There used to be regular reminders that used to come to me for updates. However, I have been ignoring those for 4-5 months. I hope that is not the cause for this problem.

Now, I know there is an existing thread for this exact same problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2159603

However, PLEASE NOTE I am no techie.. I absolutely have no clue about the proposed solution(s) in this thread.. root files, DHCP, 4.1.2, 4.1.1, yadda yadda yadda - all GREEK to me.. I understood absolutely nothing from this.. :confused:

Would really really appreciate if someone can provide a step by step solution guide for this problem to a guy who knows nothing about tech!

Looking forward to replies,

I'm having the same issue too. IPhone connects fine but note 2 has issues.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
To date I have had the following problems with shortcuts to exe files located on my 1GB Storage Card:

1) Every time I switch on the device, Skype reports that it cannot load the Skype.exe file on the Storage Card, a shortcut of which is in the Startup folder

2) Every reboot, GSPMagic cannot load itself from Startup. If however I delete the shortcut, then create a new one manually in the Starup folder, it works fine! I have checked the old shortcut and it is exactly the same as the new one! They are identical, yet one says that the source file cannot be found.

3) Microsoft Money installed a shortcut in Programs. The shortcut had no icon, and again said the file was not found or needed to be reinstalled. Yet when I created the shortcut manually into Programs, and overwrote the shortcut setup created, it worked fine.

What on earth is going on, and has anyone experienced something similar?

Most other program shortcuts to the Storage Card work fine strangely!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Splatt!:
I was under the impression that anything called at startup had to be installed in main memory.

GSPMagic did not work for me on the storage card, but once in main memory was fine.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
Can anyone confirm this?

So I have to install Skype on the Device not Storage Card? I don't think the setup instructions said this :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Glad to hear you're using GSPM++, it means that mackaby07 and I have helped some people!

I too have had trouble when loading this on the memory card, but in the main memory it's fine, and it doesn't take up enough space to worry about either!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
Haven't noticed any real speed increase with that lil prog, just testing it at the moment.

However, what about my issues with Skype, and MS Money, both loading from the Storage Card. Surely they shouldn't cause a problem? Weird one this.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
CJSnet - at least on the Magician, storage card shortcuts aren't always ready to be run from softreset, it seems like it takes a few seconds after boot for the storage card to be ready to use (so much OS kerchunking going on in the background perhaps). So it's as if the storage card isn't inserted at that point, so they don't launch.

I'll be trying to write a small fix for this at some point...

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
Great, please do post it back here when you have! :)

In the meantime any way to fix for example Skype insisting on running every time I wake the device out of standby? It doesn't appear in the Startup group so must be somewhere else, and if on the Storage Card, it won't run -- I get the same error.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
4) Microsoft Reader again installs an icon in Programs, but when clicked I get the same error as all the above.

This is therefore not a Startup lag issue.

The exact error is:

"The file 'msreader' [for example] cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file".

Help!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
Hehe talking to myself here, but hmm, this is odd, I just tried recreating the MS Reader shortcut.

Original from Setup: 19#\Windows\msreader.exe (<-path does not exist)

Manually created by me: 36#"\Storage Card\Windows\MsReader.exe"

Why is Setup, when I tell it to install Reader on the Storage Card, creating a shortcut that does not mention the Storage Card, and therefore cannot possibly work? This must be the issue with the other items.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
This is driving me mad? Why does it make every shortcut to a prog on Storage Card leave out the 'Storage Card' part of the path? Any help greatly appreciated. Maybe a reg entry? :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
Hi Vijay, any news on this handy sounding app?

I am still getting this problem, and not just after boot.

Why is it, whenever I turn the device on from standby power-save mode, I get an error with Skype saying it can't find itself on the Storage Card?

Why is Skype trying to load something when I come out of standby sometimes, but not always?

Hi guys,

I am curious to know if the kernel used in Sense ROMs (stock, ElementalX, BeastMode) be made to work in the CM/AOKP roms?

Here's my problem - I personally like the look and feel of CM. However, one big problem is the fact that there is a lot of lost functionality in these roms as compared to sense roms.

Now, I dont mean things like transparent status bars, etc - but core features like HDMI out, headset buttons, usb tethering, battery life, etc.

The focus of the developers is also around cool new features and not around fixing hardware issues. For example someone posted yesterday that wired headset buttons have been broken all the wsy from kernel 3.0 to 3.4.

Im wondering if one can leverage the fully working Sense kernels to run CM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ImagioX1:
Sense kernels cannot run be used to run cm10 or later based roms. IF you like the look and feel of stock android but still want all the working features why don't you download one of the sense roms and desense it? I know viperxl offers desense option in the aroma installer.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sandys1:
Yes - I thought about it, but I like the CM roms for all the added functionality (remote wipes, themes, etc.). Also, in the longer term Kitkat is only going to be possible on our phones via the AOSP/CM route.

I wonder if there is any possibility to fund a bounty to fix hardware compatibility for all the AOSP/CM based roms.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
What hardware compatibility do you mean? I don't know whether a bounty is going to work, the devs we have working on these ROMs are already doing their absolute best to bring us the best software possible. Also, some of these issues are caused at an upstream level and are completely out of their control.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffreii:
You're right that it will probably be awhile.

AT&T released the MF3 update almost 3 months ago. It patched the loki exploit. So far there has been no luck whatsoever creating another exploit...and most devs agree it will take a leak before any progress is made.

Yes, hashcode recently released a safestrap method to get custom ROMs loaded but that does not count as a bootloader exploit and does not give you the same sort of freedom that loki does.

Long story short, it could be a very long time before the Note 3 has any sort of bootloader exploit. Safestrap is probably viable though...

I want to buy a Note 3 but with my S4 on MDL, running loki'd custom ROMs, I'm having a hard time giving that up...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohan_kr:
0 %

Safestrap requires "root", so it will be a no go unless a root exploit is found. See below

If you have an unlocked bootloader, rooting is trivial. With a locked bootloader and SELinux Enforcing, the chances of rooting via exploit are pretty much 0%. All you folks can hope for is an "internal" leak, unless another bootloader exploit like Loki is found, even then it is extremely painful process to do anything, e.g Loki'ed everything. If you really want to have that custom experience, I suggest buying a T-Mob device (which is what I am doing).

And no, carriers are *NOT* going to have unlocked bootloaders once they are on the locked bootloader path, since that is the *only* way to get into the Enterprise space with the whole BYOD thing (Verizon and ATT are trying to corner that market in the US). And no, unless you secure the host platform (locked bootloader, secure container (SELinux)), no Enterprise will let a BYOD connectivity to their network.
