Well I read somewhere that the 9000 can utilize the hsdpa on att, where the 9005 can't use hsdpa, or lte on att. Att uses700/1700MHz. Where the 9005 only supports 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600. I'm sorry I can't find that source anymore. The more I search for it, the more the 9005 becomes favorable. I don't think you'd have a huge problem with either of them.

Hello All.

New to XDA. I have searched but I couldn't find the answer to my question. After rooting my device is there anyway to freeze or stop the auto update of the system?

I'm not talking about apps but I'm referring to the actual updating of the phone itself.

Thanks for any replies. I'm finally making my move away from apple. :D

This community is awesome.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bubba:
Titanium Backup on the market will do it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajster1989:
Titainum is for freezing apps. You OTA system updates always need approval before they install, so there is no real reason to freeze them.

Actually that is not true .. I woke up at 3 am the other morning and ATT had pushed an update .. It failed .. but I was in stock recovery and my droid on his back .. so sad. :cowboy:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B4dT1m31ng:
I was wondering how to stop OTA updates. My phone updated itself and that isn't something I particularly enjoy.

I guess what I was trying to understand what services or apps I need to freeze using TB.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PROFESSOR25:
You will need to freeze the following:

FWUpgrade 1.2.0

AT&T Software update V42_1_1308_4_3

:good:

So your phone was actually able to update completely without any interruptions while being rooted?

If so what Root method did you use?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B4dT1m31ng:
Thank you. :good::good::good:

No my phone isn't rooted yet.

I was asking when I rooted it what services I would need to freeze or edit when I did root it to stop the updates as I don't want to loose root. I was able to buy a note 3 from a friend for 400 bucks as I am getting tired of my current phone.

I appreciate the advice. I don't know if this is the appropriate section however any must have apps for when I root? I'm not looking to flash any custom roms since I read Xposed and Wanam are good to go without flashing roms. Correct?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danbear7777:
so in order to get the OTA update.... do I need to revert back to a completely stock rom unrooted?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycoffman45:
Yes you do
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danbear7777:
thanks for the quick reply. I guess my only other question is is the OTA really worth it to go through redoing everything?or am I better off just waiting for the Kit Kat update?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PROFESSOR25:
Apps that I use while rooted are:

Wanam Xposed: You will find a lot of TouchWiz friendly tweaks in here

Titanium Backup

Wanam Mods I use:

App Settings

GravityBox

Greenify

There are tons more of great mods out there as well.

AT&T Note 3 formated wrong with Safestrap

While I was in the process of installing AllianceROM on my AT&T note 3 I formatted the whole darn thing.

I have installed dozens of roms on different phones before and even had success with two on this note 3

Anyway not enough sleep PLUS impatience EQUALS a note 3 with nothing on it.

I have flowed XDA for some time and figure if anyone can help it here!

At&t note 3 running bell rom

Heres my stupid question , I purchased a NOTE 3 N900A . Works well but id like Bells rom as im in Canada . Can I flash bells stock rom through ODIN without bricking my new phone ? Bells Note 3 models are N900W8.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent:
This is the 900A forum. We can't help you here. Sorry.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajster1989:
Ignore Agent, we help everybody!

The problem with installing that rom is if there are any hardware differences between the 2 phones. Even tiny ones. You could brick the device.

My advice is if there is a piece of bloatware you need from the bell rom just extract it from a downloaded version of that rom and install it manually.

Goodluck

Think it's fixed for now. It was still having problems after reboot, but I changed my 5GHz band wireless mode from N+AC to auto and it hasn't happened yet.

But now I'm only connected at 270Mbps instead of the 480+ I was connecting at before.

I guess it's not a problem because my connection can't max it out.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent:
Hmm. I'm wondering if it's just because it's trying to hit AC on the 5Ghz band. I haven't had any issues with mine running straight AC, but I use the 2.4Ghz band just because of range.

My Note 3 does something I think is strange on power-on.

Initially I get the standard black screen with white text graphic showing the manufacturer model name. Then the Samsung "whoosh" animated graphic.

Then the AT&T logo and sound.

Then something a bit odd (at least to me) happens.

I get a brief shot of my normal lock screen, which immediately disappears and the Samsung whoosh screen appears again. A second or two later the AT&T logo appears. No AT&T sound plays this second time. The AT&T logo stays for a few seconds at this point, after which we finally get the actual lock screen.

The first time or two this happened, I just kind of "hmmm"ed to myself and ignored it, but I'm wondering now if something is amiss. The device works just fine, but this boot up sequence just seems strange and sloppy if it's working as intended.

Am I just being OCD or is this something unique to my device?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenZwei:
He is correct. If you want to use Scrapbook and Youtube like it shows in the Samsung advertisements, you have to remove the updates from the Youtube app. Then it works as advertised. Circling it saves it to Scrapbook, you can play it from Scrapbook, etc. Hopefully Samsung pushes out an update for Scrapbook so it plays well with the updated Youtube.

Screen Dimming Issues

:( Is anyone else having issues with the GN III screen dimming on you even if you have the screen brightness turned all the way up and have the power save mode turned off?

USB Cable Loose Connection

Forgive my noobness if this has been discussed; I did search first.

I've had the Note 3 for a little over a week, and I'm noticing that the connection is very loose between the USB adapter (OEM) and the physical socket on the handset. It wouldn't be such a big deal except that every little wiggle breaks the connection momentarily, so USB3 mode has to be manually reactivated every time. Before I send it back for warranty replacement I'd like to see if anyone else has had this issue and whether there's an easy chewing gum fix (and if there is, should I hit up the warranty anyway?).

And completely off topic; thank you all for what you do. This site/community is outstanding & you're all rock stars in my book!

Ok, I am receiving my new AT&T note 3 today, planning on kingo rooting it. Should I let the Kitkat update go through first? Why is kingo not allowed to be talked about? What's a good dev ROM for AT&T? I was on Padawan on my note 1 but it looks like it is just for T-Mobile on the note 3. Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajster1989:
Kingo was the last one to fix the issue with your IMEI number being pulled when they root your phone.(I think they fixed it). And sometime Kingo fails, and if your not paying attention you'll miss the prompt that says "prefered root method failed, clock ok to reboot your phone, THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRENTY!". By the time it show this some people are on autopilot, and just click yes to every propt they see, lol.

I prefer Vroot, higher success of not effecting KNOX, you will just have to delete the chinese superuser app, and get SuperSU from the market.

If you want to keep knox intact, dont use Odin to root, or flash anything but origonal stock roms. Most of all dont flash any kernals, that an automatic knox break.

AND... Safestrap recovery is your friend.

Kingo and Vroot give you a rooted phone in the traditional way.

Do any of these methods unlock the bootloader so I can load cwm or TWRP?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajster1989:
No they don't unlock the boot loader, but do you really need to? safestrap is based on TWRP, and has all the functions of it. Who ever thought of it was genius. Don't really see the need to unlock it to be honest. Give safestrap a try and you will see what I mean. At least you can say you tried it before you void your warrenty.
