So.... stock t mobile has a 4 bar full signal status bars, ATT has 5 bars as a full signal status bars. So if her phone is showing 3 bars and you're phone is showing two bars its pretty much the same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
I've got around 1 to 2 bars mainly 1 she has 2 bars sometimes 3. Dba on both the same. I am thinking the att note 3 shows more bars as a feel good factor. ?

Both lte.

Sent from my SM-N900T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MattMJB0188:
Yeah thats because AT&T uses 5 bars. I always go by dbm anyway. But I know when its showing 2 bars, its really 3. That's why I wish there was an AT&T 4G LTE icon mod. I'd flash that in a second.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Live and learn. I wasn't aware att shows 5 bars.

Sent from my SM-N900T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MattMJB0188:
Yup. Trust me, I've owned almost every flagship Android device on AT&T, e.g... GS3, GS4, and N2. They all show 5 bars. T-Mobile only shows 4, but the signal dbm in settngs is all that matters. Compare that with your wife's ATT note3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quickvic30:
There is some csc files around here somewhere you can flash to make your T device look exactly like a ATT device, 4g icons and all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aalupatti:
Please guys see the quote below.

I requested in miscom roms thread for att ril .

Here is the response from dragonstalker.

If someone can please upload those files we can have something to test.

I am traveling and do not have a computer at this time.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mircury:
I crack up whenever I hear AT&T's marketing slogan "More Bars in more places". They are so full of BS. They change the software to show more bars so people think they have better signal. They seriously think we are stupid. The only way to know for sure what kind of signal you are getting is to check the db's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drmacrofish:
Yep, they received a ton of flack about this a while back when they did this with the iphones. People were complaining that the iphones were not showing enough bars like there was bad reception. Suddenly ATT pushed out an update and low and behold everyone had "better reception." Come to find out they just adjusted the way the bars were shown. Such a joke.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
To my knowledge yes. I flashed int'l ROM on my sm900t and it is fine. I think regional locked phones are the only ones that have to reuse chain fire app.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] indecentspeech:
Actually there's an improvement with a Tmobile sim but not with ATT. Still getting pretty **** LTE with ATT. I think we need ATT modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quickvic30:
Well I found all the files but I have a T-Mobile phone on ATT so I don't think my ril files will work? We need to talk to one of the att phone guys into getting this these files.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] systoxity:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aimfire72:
This is my unlocked Tmobile Note 3 with a GoPhone sim (AT&T). No problems at all, never messed with ril files and I'm still on stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dandan112988:
So basically your saying if we get an unlock code from t mobile, or buy one from an unlocking service online to unlock our phones, we can pop in a atnt sim and be good to go, everything else stock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quickvic30:
Yes but you also have to change your APN settings and change your mobile network mode to LTE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dandan112988:
I see, do you have a link or something to a guide to do that?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drmacrofish:
Has anyone else noticed that whenever their phone switches from 4G LTE to just 4G, like on a call or something, that no bars show. I have this and I know I still have a good connection, but it looks like I dont? Anyone else?

Ok I figured it out. It was a setting that I had checked off on Wanam that was causing the issue. Unchecking it took care of the problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NMonster69:
Tethering Works.

Does the stock Tmobile ROM allow tethering because for some reason it allows me to tether on AT&T now. Was just wondering if this was another side effect of region lock away. The RLA ap unlocked me as a side benefit so I didn't need to order a code either. At least for now. Gonna buy this app. Thanks Chainfire.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drmacrofish:
I think it does allow you to teather, but I have also heard that ATT is able to detect it and if you do not have a tether plan and give them an extra 20$ a month to use your data you already paid for in that way, then you will get messages from them about it. So be careful I guess.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NMonster69:
I have been tethering other phones and tablets in the past. On the rare occaision Idid it from a pc, I went into the network card settings and disabled netbios, sharing, and anything to do with windows networking and didn't abuse the connection. Ihave been doing it for a few years now without issues. Thanks for the info as well. Didn't realise this was a side effect of that app. Never read anything about it in chainfire's thread on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MattMJB0188:
I'd like to know what everyone is going to do when their devices break and the warranty is void because you flashed a custom rom. It's not wise to purchase a $700 phone and not have any warranty on it.

Using TMO Note 3 on AT&T here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] keennay:
From personal experience, AT&T will first send you text messages. Then, they'll send you a letter stating if they DO NOT hear back from you then a tethering plan will automatically be applied to your account.

Drop the phone on the driveway and have your wife run it over with the car? Seriously though, most of us never have a problem like that.

Restoring stock rom on T mobile note 3 ...problems

Has anyone had issues with restoring their stock rom after making backup in TWRP ? I am currently using Darth Stalker and Jedi Elite roms..When I try to restore stock rom backup it goes in to boot loop..I can restore the other roms with no problem..Guess if I want it back will have to flash the stock firmware when ready to unroot...:confused:...I am not new to rooting and romming...just found it to be odd...

For those who are using the stock ROM on ATT, did you disable the bundled T-Mobile apps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
Most of us root and flash custom ROMs. You get way more from the device... But yes I would at least root and freeze the unwanted apps to conserve battery and lighten up the heavy TW load.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sacky73:
For what it is worth I am using a TMobile variant on LIME/Cable and Wireless Caribbean. Works fine. Rooted, useless Tmobile apps frozen.

It's running 100% on ATT - LTE, visual voice mail, etc.

Question: what can I expect for OTAs?

I'm rooted now, but on stock firmware. When the 4.4 update comes out, will I get an OTA? Would I have to repeat the root/unlock process?

When I check for software updates, i get a message "Your device has been modified, Software updates are not available." I assume this means I'd have to do a factory reset if i ever wanted an OTA?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daraj:
You wont get OTA for 2 reasons:

1. Once rooted you will not receive OTA anymore, hence the "Device modified" message

2. Im assuming you are running an ATT Sim on a tmobile phone, ATT sim only checks for unmodified att devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CZroe:
What if you called AT&T with the IMEI from an SM-N900A so that you don't need to configure the APN?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daraj:
Le me get this: You are using a Tmobile Note 3 running ATT rom on ATT network? U want to get the OTA from ATT once their 4.4 comes out?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CZroe:
No. Just curious to know if people who registered an AT&T Note 3 IMEI might be in danger of accidentally getting an OTA update pushed to them. I have been tempted to install the AT&T customizations so that I can run AT&T's apps like the one that automatically connects and logs in to their free WiFi at various locations. I also run the Wanam Xposed setting to make it appear official/unmodified.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ggabriele3:
I am using a 900T on the stock t-mo 4.3 ROM. I would actually prefer to keep the official ROM, and I have no interest in an ATT ROM.

Ideal actually would be the international official KitKat ROM when it comes out, but the official T-mo would be fine. I was just wondering if it would come over OTA or if I'd have to side load.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fix-this!:
Unlocked here for at&t. Battery life is horrid, worse than my nexus 5. Signal also drops out alot. I assume this is from the tmobile radios. Soo far not impressed.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmmajor:
One question..I know T-Mobile has free WiFi calling. Is it on the TMob Galaxy Note 3 and would it work with another carrier like At&t or Straight Talk?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] barondebxl:
Nope it wouldnt.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
You must have the wrong APN .... Your signals are searching heavily and killing your battery. Make sure to go in settings and change: and change to correct APN. There is a thread somewhere with all the correct ones and on at&t.com also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
Easier way is just to go to dialer input *#2263#

Click LTE/WCDMA that goes between LTE and HSPA & HSPA+. GSM is 2g and most areas are either H, H+, LTE now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bob Simons:
Can you explain further? This setting would only do H and H+ and LTE? My phone is set to the top choice, Automatic, with the * to indicate that it is selected. If left to automatic, is there any way to change the weighting or preference for how it switches between the available options? Or in other words, what's wrong with "automatic"? Not saying you're wrong: I'm saying I'm ignorant. I always want to know more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
okay in the settings of the actual phone it will stay at automatic if you dont change it however the dialer code will override that and change it.

Automatic in the settings goes between EDGE/HSPA/H+/LTE.

Dialer code changes just between LTE/WCDMA=(HSPA/H+) which means it will not scan for 2G.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daraj:
Anyone figured out the low LTE reception issue on AT&T network? Is it due to the tmobile modem installed?

Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drmacrofish:
I don't think we get worse reception. I have compared my actual numbers between my T-Mobile note 3 on ATT network to my wife's iphone 5s actual numbers and they are almost identical on both. This is testing in bad reception areas of my house too. I just don't think you can rely on the bars that are being shown. You have to rely on the dB numbers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daraj:
Reading the dB is a given and im talking from this perspective. and what solidifies my point is that Im having no signal and dead spots on this tmobile note where on my other att s4 and my other att note 3 gets enough coverage to make a call or browse. Bottom line after testing, yes im getting low reception on LTE in comparison. Mind you this is my second Tmobile note 3 with the same issue which tells me its the modem installed.

Now the question: Is there anyone with the experience of creating a flashable zip file of the att modem>?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drmacrofish:
There is another thread on XDA where some people did this, but I am not sure it was successful though.

Hello fellow posters!

I've got some spare money and I was wondering: is it still worth to buy a Nexus 7 now?

I can have it for half the price of new Nexus 7. I would be using it mainly for browsing internet/facebook, watching online streams (flash), using it as a media centre (watching movies from pc via LAN). I know this device is just fine for these things. I had read a lot of stories about tablets breaking down: screens lifting, burnt speakers and things like that. Is it a common issue?

One more thing. Is the screen good for reading ebooks?

Thanks for your advices
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erovia:
I think it's a very good tablet and it will be for a few years at least. Maybe you should check THIS thread. My one is working fine without a single issue. I haven't met any game or app that could slow it down. I read a lot of ebook and comic on it and the screen is more than enough for it. I really love my N7, it's a pleasure to use.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Its a great device! I've felt no need to upgrade. I never upgrade anything until its at least 2 generations higher. I'm buying an N4 soon....same situation as you. Do I wait a slight bit and get the N5.....nope. N4's way cheaper and still great too! Will be a good upgrade from my S2.

Just my 2 cents.

Similiar Issue

I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 2 with a similiar issue. I brought the phone used and it was rooted and TWRP is installed. Each time I connect via ODIN the phone is not recognized. I also get a message battery temperature to low to Charge. I even placed the Stock ROM on the SD card but each time TWRP gives me an error message when trying to install. I get Sprint's OTA update but again it reverts back TWRP after trying to install. I like to go back to the the Stock ROM. The charging port on the phone works as when conntected to a charger it acknowledges the connection but gives the error message battery temperature to low. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hey. I tried using the search feature but perhaps my keywords are wrong or just to broad. I'm running stock, rotted using zedomax's thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831152). I want to get the latest OTA, but when using the software update, of course I get the error for the tablet being modified.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkretch:
As you know when you are rooted you can not get OTA updates, you need to install the update manually.

You will have to goto http://samfirmware.com/ register and then look for the firmware that is for your device and region in the tab "Check Your Firmware".

After downloading the firmware follow the directions by Zedomax on "How to Unroot/Unbrick Galaxy Note 10.1! [Factory Firmware]"

it is the same process and you will lose root.

Hi, I have an original KF that was running v6.3.2, I am trying to get it to run JB 4.2.

I successfully (I think) rooted it using SuperOneClick

I installed FFF and TWRP using KF Utilities

It can boot into TWRP

I try to flash Hashcode's 4.2.2_r1 and TWRP seems to complete although it does stick on "Updating partition details"

When I restart it it just goes to a screen covered in weird rotating triangles.Only thing I can do is hard shut down.

I did do backup and can restore it to original Amazon 6.3.2 KF firmware. Interestingly when I do this TWRP asks me to install SuperSU, which I do.I then boots as if its a new KF, except with SU app installed.

Can anyone give me any pointers as to where I might be going wrong?

Thanks

Wait my reading caught up with me. You say it is still booting into stock? That doesn't sound like bad firmware download after all. Sorry... I don't know then! Someone else should have a thought.

I read it once again and realize you restored stock. Lol I go with my original suggestion. Redownload and reflash.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
The "weird rotating triangles" is the stock AOSP boot animation. 9 times out of 10, when your device gets stuck on the boot animation, it is from not wiping data in recovery before flashing the ROM. Boot into recovery, factory reset, then reboot to see if it fixes the problem.
