[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] surfsnow:
I setup my home network to have separated name (SSID) for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz Network.

When I connect to the 2.4Ghz channel, no problem.

At the same distance, like 6 inches away from the router, when I connect to the 5Ghz channel, my 2 Galaxy Note 3 shows the same "network too slow" error and it will drop the connection.

This is one of the many reasons I returned my GSN 3

I also experienced another WiFi error.

At work, I can connect to the WiFi network with the WPA password provided, on my HTC One with no issue whatsoever.

When I tried to connect to the same network using the Note 3, it keeps telling me I have to "sign-in", when I click on the browser to "sign-in" (like those Free WiFi you can get at the hotel), there is no sign in page (because there is none) and brings me right to Google.com.

After that, the connection will last for 30 seconds or so and drop off.

The one I got initially and the replacement, both have the same issue, and I did inform T Mobile before I return them back.

4.3 problem? Samsung's problem? I don't know... All I know is I will wait until they resolve all these before I will reconsider getting this phone. :confused::confused:

I spoke to them on same issue. Got new phone and they working on updating the WiFi drivers.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] renny083:
Here is the fix for this it worked for me try this....

Go to wifi advanced settings lower left corner then uncheck auto network switch. Then check the box that pops up that says don't ask again. This should fix your wifi connecting issue...

Wow, can't believe I didn't even try.... Okay that's my one dumb question for this week.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
did it work for you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chadcspencer:
So far yes. Not a 100% sure though because the problem was not consistent. Sometimes it would connect sometime give the message. So, I'll keep you posted if it comes back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sIpInWiT mYdRoId:
Not trying to say your post isn't serious enough but we all who are having this problem on a consistent basis need to make a thread about this and just not take anything for an answer, but to give people somewhere to complain about this & hopefully bring more attention to this because there is nothing that is fixing this issue. The only thing that will fix this is Samsung or a Dev on a custom ROM hopefully. If you uncheck the options in advanced settings, it just stops the pop up from coming up telling you the connection is to slow & dropping you, after unchecked it dont drop you but while still showing you a full connection it will not do anything data wise, connect to the internet, switch to a different site, no facebook, no twitter, no market etc..... Nothing, you dont get dropped you just cant do anything. I hope my anger dont make anyone think Im arguing with anyone in here and their opinions, we all have this problem and are trying to help eachother, im just poitning out that those who are thinking this is fixing things its not, its just stopping the pop up. I am very frustrated this is happening on a brand new phone i waited this long for and paid as much as i did for. There should be a freaking petition started for this cause its just wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] renny083:
Works fine for me my wifi never disconnects now after unchecking auto network switch and always scanning... Idk what to tell you guys that are still having the issue because I had the same issue when I first got the phone too...

Maybe try forgetting the network then reconnect after unchecking those settings and reboot...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
Not all phones are created equal. Samsung needs to change the wifi drivers on the phone or a dev needs to take note 2 drives and add them to a custom rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sIpInWiT mYdRoId:
I posted this in a different forum also but figured id post it here to. I just got off the phone with Samsung & they told me its not a major reported problem, wtf, lol? Everyone i know who owns this phone has this problem with it sayin internet connection to slow and booting them off, even with full signal. Im on my 2nd phone now & have the same problem. They tried telling me to go in to the wifi call settings & turn off wifi calling preferred, & i said why? Even though it's checked I have it off. I said seriously? what is that going to do for a wifi signal problem, lol. It's not my wifi calling it's my full wifi signal. I can tell this is going to be a huge problem & im returning my phone, 3rd time now, for a new one today, if i get the same problem, almost positive i will, im sadly going to have to return this phone & just get a refund instead. & that would really suck. Maybe i'll try a black one, but im sure it probably happens on that one to, lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agent4678:
I have been having this problem also. Turning off "Auto network switch" in the advanced network settings allows the phone to hold on to the connection, but it is completely unstable. I tested the connection using iPerf and it was all over the place. I can post screenshots when I get home later if it helps anyone. Samsung definitely needs to step in here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
Samsung could careless about us. They sold the phone to TMOBILE not us. Or whatever ur using. Everyone needs to complain to the big 4 major company. Then if they get hit hard then they can light a fire under Samsung butt.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] G_won:
Same problem here even tho my home connection kicks out 22 down 11mb/s up on speedtest app

As others have noted, killing that auto network switch option keeps me stable, essential since I constantly connect to my PC's network shared files in addition to the usual connection and the nice wifi calling to ensure I always can call out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] surfsnow:
I have the same exact problem at work. Tried no-encryption (Open), WEP, WPA WPA-2, still same issue.

The SGN3 will try to connect to the network, and it will ask me to Sign-In to the network, but there is NO sign-in page (like those free hotel WiFI kind) setup.

Also tried Turning off "Auto network switch", actually tried all possible combinations of settings on the SGN3, still same issue.

I got a 2nd phone from T Mo, still same problem.

I switched back to my HTC One, and with no problem connect to the same network.

And yes, I did report to T Mo, that's one of the many reasons (Caller ID on WiFI suffix problem, no HD Voice support, can't connect to 5Ghz WiFi) why they sent me the 2nd phone, but unfortunately didn't help.

I have to return both SGN3 back to them, sad to see it go, but I have to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Unibrow:
I get kicked off my wifi at second job and it has a wifi sign in page. I believe, because of the wifi calling, it detects the sign in and then disconnects until you sign in. To connect, it's much different than my Sprint S3 where it would connect and give me a notification to sign in. To connect to the network on my Note 3 I have to click the network under where it shows available wifi connections. It says I need to sign in with a pop up and then opens the browser to the sign in page. I've also found in the past that if I can't get the login page to show (on my Nexus 10 or S3) that closing all tabs in Chrome and swiping Chrome away from recent apps and reopening allows me to get to the login page though I haven't had that issue with the Note yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twillso:
Does anyone know if there has been a fix for this particular wifi issue on the Note 3. My work wifi does not have a Sign-in, however I keep getting disconnected after 2 minutes because the sign-in timed out.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ecs87:
Not sure if this is an issue with our wireless AP at work or the devices connected to it but we have a enterprise class (whatever that means...) Cisco Wireless AP that requires you to sign in via a Web page first. After less than an hour it times out and the user needs to sign back in. Not too much of an issue for me but the users where I'm at have become very irritated by it (not like there's anything I can do since I have no documentation/login credentials to the AP).

I've also noticed that if I do get timed out and try to refresh a page I get a SSL layer error. I have to type in a new URL and it'll bring me to the login page. Blah...security.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ffaghri:
This morning I tried to update the phone, package was fully downloaded through "AT&T Software Update" but when it rebooted it got stock on the HTC boot logo. I could reboot the phone and bring up the fastboot menu but nothing else; phone had stock rom and not rooted.

Is there anyway to fix it? If my only option is to manually download the update, is there anyway to backup my photos first, cause the manual update will wipe the phone.

Thanks.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] calanizzle:
Are you rooted? able to go into bootloader?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ffaghri:
Not rooted, I can go into the bootloader.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ffaghri:
Also choosing recovery option in the bootloader, only the triangle will come up and I can not reach the recovery menu.

I think one way is to flash the recovery and for that I need to unlock the phone. Is there anyway to unlock the phone in this state without wiping it?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] homeslice976:
That's stock recovery. To flash custom recovery, you'd need to be bootloader unlocked. Unlocking your bootloader will wipe your data.

Does adb work in stock recovery? While in stock recovery, run "adb devices" from a command prompt (navigated to your adb directory). If it recognizes the device, you can do "adb pull /sdcard/dcim /path/to/where/you/want/pics" and it should pull the folder. Then you can run RUU or unlock, flash custom recovery, and flash custom ROM
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ffaghri:
didn't work:

- Went to the recovery mode, phone displayed a picture of a phone with a red triangle and no menu.

- tried "adb devices", didn't show any device.

- Then, held down volume up and power key, but no menu appeared, instead phone got rebooted to the HTC logo screen again.

If I have followed the right steps to get to the stock recovery, is there any other way to pull sdcard with adb?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ffaghri:
All suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] monkeypaws:
When in recovery, the triangle with red exclamation point, push up volume and power and couple times until you berths blue menu. Then you should be able to do a factory reset or a cache wipe.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ffaghri:
Thanks for the tip, got to the blue menu with "SDCard mount failed".

I tried all options except "wipe data/factory reset" and non helped.

- Is there any way to preserve the photos in this mode and then use RUU? adb not working.

- Would "wipe data/factory reset" reflash the stock rom? and would it delete photos?

All suggestions are welcomed :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] monkeypaws:
I believe that wipe factory reset should not wipe the picture but wait for someone to confirm as I'm never too sure with these devices. Always had phone with external sd card support.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ffaghri:
Could anybody confirm that please? Does the factory reset in Stock Recovery wipe the sd card and photos?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rdub504:
Yep!

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

Definitely transfer to a computer or backup via cloud storage before

Doing so,once wiped data is gone.

Did you guys see this one? Same specs but smaller battery, speakers on the back and no S Pen. Looks weird.

Is this the phone that people waited for instead of buying the note 3?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] droidguru:
It looks like a neat product and I like the gestures and whatnot, but I have fallen in love with the S-pen and the ability to quickly write down notes and transfer them to my calendar, edit mms pics, and just send written text as mms (sometimes it cheers me up to send something goofy :D). I'm sure Sammy could still integrate an S-Pen into a curved screen, but maybe with a smaller size. Ours on the N3 takes up a lot of real estate inside the phone. However, I like the brushed aluminum look and would still consider this phone if they came out with at least an aluminum bezel. I don't think anything will ever be as sexy as the Nokia 8800 I used to have.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] slimslim:
Wouldn't be a little weird to write on a curved screen? I also do like the brushed metal though.

Hi

just wondering, is the phone to new or why isnt there almost any custom rom for this phone?

regards.
[Sony Xperia ZR] CressKH:
It's shadowed by Z and ZL previously, and then Z Ultra and Z1 released not too long after ZR, plus ZR is released only in specific regions... so........ it's not standing out to the devs.
[Sony Xperia ZR] drumcodex:
Weird. Its a better phone than the z/zl but the z/zl gets all the attention
[Sony Xperia ZR] chewdaniel:
it's only "better" because it uses the same hardware but a lower resolution so it doesn't have to power such a big screen and thus the overall speed is faster... it does not make it "better"...

the Z/ZL were released in April while ZR only started selling around mid-June.

also, they are available worldwide, and the Z is the first flagship of 2013 so naturally it will get the most attention, unlike the ZR which is only available in like... idk 15 countries? maybe less...

so unless there happens to be a dev who happens to have a ZR who happens to want to make custom roms for you and i to use for free, we won't be seeing much activity around here. just live with it... or get a Z/Z1/ZL... if you want custom roms i suggest u try CM... afterall most other custom roms are based on them anyway...
[Sony Xperia ZR] krisdb423:
Or donate some money to a ROM developer. I donated some bitcoins to FreeXperia since us ZR owners couldn't use CM without them.
