[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] IrvGotte:
First of all I apologize if I posted this on the wrong forum. I am an XDA fan, this is where all get all the goodies for my phone but never actually post.

I flashed SlimBean4.3OfficialBuild1 along with the gapps they provided on their site (SlimMinimalGapps4.3Build1). As always I keep my apps backed up with TitaniumBackup but I downloaded the apps and it said my device wasn't rooted. I checked USB Debugging and enabled it and still no luck, then i downloaded SU from playstore and it gave me same message, no root. I do not know what it is and I am frustrated its late and I need to get up early. I will leave the phone as it is till I find a solution. Another big BIG issue is the screen flickering I have been getting and looked all over the web and i could not find a solution. I only been getting the screen issues with android 4.3 on all the roms I tried so far. I did get those screen flicker a long time ago but I thought it was because of the ROM i was on then I switched to another one and it was all good. I you would please help me find a solution to this. I feel like throwing my phone to the wall. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i747. THANKS IN ADVANCED.

I had to change the superuser app that I'm using before TB will register. I'm using SuperSU but I have to manually update it sometimes, or just download superuser from Store. Download Root Checker

(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.freeandroidtools.root_checker) and it'll tell you if you're rooted or not. The flickering is way beyond me. I'm way too weak in the Force to go into 4.3 ROMS yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dieselbuddeh:
You have to activate root on 4.3 ROMs. Its settings>development>root set it to apps and/or adb.

Re-flash SuperSU

Well, I had to re-flash a SuperSU update and that seemed to fix the prob. Even just flashing the latest nightly unrooted my phone. I'll try and find the link for you. Also, try a system, cache, and dalvic wipe.

AT&T LTE APN
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] starrscream22:
How do you get AT&T 4G LTE on T-Mobile Note 3?

Is there a step-by-step process on how to do it?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TEKHD:
Hmmm... unlock phone with code... insert AT&T's sim... done... (you may also want to add AT&T's APN, but it works automatically anyway)

T-Mobile's Note 3 has the same bands as the AT&T plus an extra band (1700) so... you get more with TMO variant...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] starrscream22:
I read that it does not work automatically. You have to change the apn settings and set it to LTE. I don't think it will work automatically

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2464498

As you can see, you need specific settings to get LTE. I'm just not sure how to do it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TEKHD:
I got LTE perfectly without doing anything... but if you need to add an APN... Just go to Settings ->Connections -> More Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> ADD -> (and add AT&Ts APN...) Done
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Jammol:
Because I'm not paying $700+ for the phone in the first place. Plus I don't have time to deal with staying and stopping a contract to pay so much money for it.

On another note, they all have Knox anyways so good luck warranting it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] starrscream22:
Thank you Sir. So you are using t-mobile N3 on at&t correct?

I will test it out tomorrow and hope I'm lucky like you.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TEKHD:
Knox... if we are here (on XDA) is assumed that you don't care about warranty... Price/Offers does not count... see main post.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TEKHD:
Yeap... on AT&T right now with N-900T.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jakestash:
I believe you're on hspa+. My AT&T note 3 says lte when I'm connected. It says 4G when I'm in hspa areas. Might be different for the t-mobile version though.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Jammol:
I am on XDA and I do care about warranty. I have rooted all phones I've owned by I still like the comfort of knowing I can warranty if I need to.

Luckily for me this phone is for work only so I won't have to worry about root. My GPro shall keep me happy with roms until nexus 5!!!

By the way, any lag at all on your device? And how is the coverage seeing that is running on tmobile ril files?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TEKHD:
Yes... on the pic is HSPA+... (inside my home, lol)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] starrscream22:
so it doesnt say LTE? if it doesnt say LTE on the phone, then means it not connected to at&t lte?

If not, then are you getting HSPA+?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TEKHD:
As far as today... (2nd day with Note 3..) exactly as Note 2... Not better... not worst... (went to work, inside the same places as usual, on the road... etc... the same I would say... no issues...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TEKHD:
It says LTE when on LTE... and 4G when in HSPA & HSPA+
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Jammol:
Okay cool. Thank you. I wonder if there's att stuff in those rils.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TEKHD:
I have the Note 2 with AWS Mod... so it gets the TMO 1700 band too... so my AT&T note 2 is like a TMO Note 2 too... (Not a virgin AT&T Note 2)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] starrscream22:
ok then that's different right?

because on at&t phone it says 4g lte all the time

if switching to 4g or hspa on t-mobile phone, then that means it losing lte signal?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TEKHD:
Exactly
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] madmike23:
I don't know what Tmobile's Note 3 LTE bands are AT&T's has LTE bands 2, 4, 5 and 17. Not to mention 700mhz. 700mhz is still up in the air, don't really know anything about it but it's been in the news lately. Rather have the option than not. For me, speed is more important than roms. And like many other devices, I'm hoping with a lot of outcry, AT&T's Note 3's bootloader will eventually be opened... Sooner or later.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
So you bought a new car, desktop or wall charger and you want to know how fast it will charge your phone at?

Well, we all know the stock/OEM S4 wall charger will register 1900mAh at the phone when charging.

And we all know a typical USB connection to our computer will register 460mA to the phone.

But what about when we use 3rd party MicroUSB data/charge cables? Or 3rd party chargers of the car/desktop/wall type? How do we know when they really hit their advertised mark? Well, more often than not, they do NOT work as well as advertised.

There are apps out there that will try and tell you your charge rate. But so far, the last I checked, NONE of them worked properly on a Galaxy S4.

So if you're rooted, then here is how you can tell.

1) Open your file explorer. I use Root Explorer.

2) Navigate to this path:

/sys/class/power_supply/battery/​

3) Open this file in a text viewer.

current_now​

4) Whatever numbers you see listed in the text file is your current mAh.

Note that some versions of "stock" based ROM's will not show you the full 1900 whenever the screen is turned on. I've heard they may be limited to somewhere around 1200 mAh screen-on, then will go back to full rate with screen-off.

All AOSP and Google Edition ROM's that I have tried, will give me the full 1900 with screen-on. Which is great for when my phone is docked in my car and turned on 100% of the time. I have a DIY 1900 charger built into my dock.

My current_now file shows 1900 with stock charger. 460 with stock cable to my computer (no AC connection per logs). And 1220 when using the stock charger with my Amazon purchased 10' data/charge cable.

Btw, you can also see all these numbers in a logcat. I like to use the app called "CatLog". You open it. Start a recording session. Plug in your charging cable. Wait a moment. Stop the recording. Then open the saved log file and search for the word "current". It will show you the mAh you're getting, same as in the current_now text file mentioned earlier.

Attached are some pics that have to do with the topic.

Hope this helps!

I used this method to test my DIY 1900 mAh motorcycle & car chargers.

Btw, buying a true 2A charger is the best way to go. You can also buy a 3A charger. The 3A charger will not charge your phone any faster than 1900 mAh rates. And will not harm the phone either. Though this is just my DIY-Guy opinion.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dark5577:
Thanks for this. I've always wondered about this, but I didn't realize how easy it was to check. I used CatLog like you mentioned and the filters "ac powered:true" or "usb powered:true" so that I only got relevant entries. My results are below.

SGH-I337 with stock cable for all tests. Running SHOstock v2.2 via SafeStrap (not sure if this is relevant).

2 Amp iPad Charger

1620 mA - Screen off

1200 mA - Screen on

Note: Not quite as much power as stock Samsung charger, but more than I thought it would be.

1 Amp iPhone Charger

1320-1340 mA - Screen off

1200 mA - Screen on

Note: The charger pulls nearly 7 W from the wall with screen off. I was surprised that it pulled so much more current than the charger is rated for.

USB 3.0 Port (900 mA)

460 mA - Screen off/on

Note: This looks like a normal USB 2.0 port. I'm not sure if it puts out 900 mA to non-USB 3.0 devices.

1900 mA - Screen off

1200 mA - Screen on
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] panyan:
From what i remember the charge rate depends on the amount of battery the phone is using

So a 3A charger may be better if the phone is drawing 1A, that way it would be charging at 2A as oppose to 1A on the stock charger

I'm using Current Widget Battery Monitor from the market and it seems to work fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
I tested it a month ago and I just tested it again right now. It's HIGHLY inaccurate. It read 1900 when I was actually only getting 1260.

The app just doesn't work/report properly with Galaxy S4.

Huh? I don't think I understand what you're trying to say.

At 1900, it doesn't matter if you're using a 2A or 3A charger.

The only difference is the 3A charger might stay a bit cooler if all else is equal between the two chargers. But temp of charger is not usually a problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Aitch:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CZ Eddie:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KING SKILLZ:
good find, used quite a few apps over the years for this and always doubted their accuracy. its interesting the difference not only the charging base makes but also the wire, so many of the two i have acquired from numerous tabs and phones through the years, i can now combine the best combos to have at the office and other places.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Aitch:
I've used that. To be honest I'm not entirely sure it actually shows current, it really just displays 1200mA when plugged in to AC and 600mA when plugged in to USB?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] grillheadxl:
When using my S4 OEM charger, it shows either 1200 or 1900. When I've used a couple of old HTC chargers it has shown 7xx, 4xx, and other numbers (I can't remember them exactly). The app description states:

so I'm wondering if it would be just as accurate as the OP's method?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
Wow, that app used to be horrible on the S4. Not at all accurate.

But I guess they updated / fixed it. Because it's now accurate. I have not tried the computer USB connection yet but the app worked great on all my chargers.

So much for this thread. LOL
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Aitch:
I did the same, I tried my official 2Amp Samsung charger and it showed 1200 - then I tried an old 1Amp HTC charger and it still showed 1200? Both times nothing came up for Maximum, and the Now and Average values were always the same?

Anyway I'll install it again and try it on a few more chargers - did you buy the Pro version as I only used the freeware?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Garen21:
Is stock charger supposed to be 1900mah? Mine is only giving me 1200.... :'(
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CZ Eddie:

ANSWER:

Ya buncha thread skimmers. :p
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] grillheadxl:
Nope, Freeware version

Yep, that's the ticket. I've only seen the 1900 once and I think that was because I turned the screen on fast enough to catch it before it changed.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Aitch:
Lol true! Why does it not show full current when the screen is on? Shouldn't it show that value in the Maximum field even if it the screen is on?

So I installed it again and tried out some other chargers. It looks like it does indeed work! I got 460 and 600 on different USB hubs and 760 on another cheap AC charger. Cool!

So what might be the explanation for my HTC putting out more than 1A?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CyberManiaK:
Thank you for this tip... This really surprised me I have a very cheap (around 5 bucks) wallmart car charger it's an unknown brand it just has a V as the brand, the output says 5VDC 1A.

My GS4 is running Shostock v2.3 via safestrap

However according to catlog this charger pumps

1200 screen ON with the included cable or the stock S4 cable

1500 screen OFF with the included cable or the stock S4 cable

700 screen ON/OFF with stock S2 cable

So next give a run of the included cable on my laptop USB ports and it's as follow.

Port 2.0 920 screen ON/OFF

Port 3.0 1100 screen ON/OFF

Port 3.0 1000 screen ON/OFF

Port 3.0 700 sceen ON/OFF (WTF ?? lol )

Also this cable doesn't do data..

Stock S2 cable with S4 charger it only pumps 860 screen OFF/ON

Oh yeah and the stock GS4 charger/cable combo shows 1200 screen ON 1900 screen OFF

So definitely also the kind of cable plays a big game here.

BTW: If someone want picture of that cheap charger let me know, but they can be found at the registers, it has 3 plugs Mini USB/Micro USB and other one that I don't remember what kind it's
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
Using my CatLog method, you can start recording in CatLog.

Then turn the screen off. Then wait a moment and then connect the cable. Wait a moment and then disconnect the cable. Then wake the phone and check the CatLog to see what your phone was charging at with the screen off.

There may be other ways to do it, but since my phone doesn't have the screen-on damper on charging, I can't test for them right now. So this is just an off the top of my head guess.

Not sure.

Maybe the charger was originally used for something different by HTC. Then instead of re-designing a new charger, they just rebranded this one as a lower amp charger for a phone that couldn't use more than 1A. And so the phone limits the current even if the charger is capable of more.

Oh yeah, no doubt.

If you read my DIY thread I linked in the OP for a motorcycle charger, you'll see that I had to play with the USB cable pin-out to get the full charge capability.

Cable design absolutely plays a role in how fast your phone can charge.

Some pin-outs are great for data transfer and some are great for charging and some for somewhere in-between. I don't profess to know the ins/outs of why or how, but that is how it is.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] feffrey:
So this is weird, but this car charger gives 1900 even through it is only rated for 1 Amp out.

For the cable I am using the usb cable from my old Craigs dock. It is thicker than most other usb cables, but I'm not sure if it is wired any differently.
