I've had this message come up only a few times since I had my juggernote3. The source of the problem was my wifi connection. All I did was power cycle my 2 routers and modem. Best of luck and happy testing :D

Interesting - I too have an Asus router (RT-N66U) and have the contact "connection unstable" messages.

I wonder if this is possibly an Asus issue and not a Samsung issue?

It's a Samsung issue I have a linksys router and I get it a lot.

There is no problem with having 5ghz and 2.4ghz on the same SSID. The issue is with the 5ghz band and likely the higher channels. When sharing a SSID your phone will connect to whichever frequency is the strongest.

There is an option you need to turn off on your 5ghz settings on the Asus. Wireless - Advanced - Professional - Explicit Beam forming to Disable.

I feel ya man. I have the vzw note 3 also got it back in Nov 2013 used it about a month and my wifi keep dropping so i sent it back and got a replacement device and its doing the same exact thing. There is nothing that can fix this unless the 4.4 update helps. Im sick of this piece of **** phone and VERIZON.

It's the OS not Verizon. Lots of Nexus 5 users complaining as well.. Not sure it is fixed in 4.4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Sung:
Old thread, but ongoing problem, thus the post :).

The real problem here is that the "wifi unstable" feature is poorly thought out and poorly implemented. I do believe that it is detecting wifi issues. This can be helpful, but in its current state, it's not a feature, it's the bane of the Note 3 owner's existence (& I can confirm that the S4 & S4 mini are also affected). Shutting down the wifi connection merely because it's not getting full bandwidth is foolish and silly. Baby, bathwater, etc.

This is not a bad 'feature', but rather a badly implemented 'feature'. There should be a way to turn it off. They could even (optionally) keep the nag (reducing the frequency of its appearance) as a reminder that wifi issues exist. Instead, they have chosen to deny the user any of the wifi connection. Like a spoiled child, all or nothing.

My circumstance is a bit different in that I have one 50mbs cable connection with 2 WRT54GL routers (in the same office space). The 1st WRT ("main" router) is my wired network and my business wifi network. The 2nd WRT is strictly for phones and non-company devices. My new Samsung phones all work fine on the 1st WRT ("main router"), but give the errors on the 2nd WRT.

I have discovered that there are indeed wifi issues with this 2nd router. I believe it is in the topology, but have yet to take the time to check it out (after all, I do have my other ("main”) wifi NW that works fine). But there are other potential issues (differences) as well:

*Router 1 is running DD-WRT firmware, Router 2, stock Linksys.

*Router 2 is on a VLAN from the 1st router and as such has a different IP address range

*Router 1’s WAN is plugged directly to the modem. Router 2 is plugged into one of the LAN ports of Router 1 and further away, traveling through 2 keystone wall jacks using 3 cables and…

Well, you get the point. There are problems with the 2nd router signal. The new Samsung phones detect this. That’s a good thing. The Samsung phones thus drop the connection. That’s a stupid thing. Good idea, very poor execution.

Further, Samsung says they are not aware of the issue (lie). Samsung says they do not consider Google to be a viable source of information or an indicator of the existence of a widespread issue with Samsung phones (ignorant lie).

Let us hope that their “mum status” is just the party line and that they are actually releasing a fix with kitkat. I don't need acknowledgement. I need a fix!

A simple on-off switch. That’s all I ask. Or does Samsung/Android believe that they should decide which connection we use and under what conditions? Totalitarianism at its finest.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BEERviper:
Thanks for your post Sam Sung, I have seen this issue come and go on my home network and have been unable to find any issue with either my router or my phone settings! I've tried clearing the cache multiple times and it doesn't help any, as soon as the phone reboots I get the glorious wifi notification with the big fat question mark in the middle.

Then next thing I know my wifi has been automatically disconnected, gee thanks! This is after I do some simple speedtest tests and see I'm getting 45+ Mbps down and 5+ Mpbs up with very low ping ... why on earth is this considered unstable when my 2 lenovo laptops and asus tablet have been connected consistently for 30 DAYS without any issues!

I am considering moving to the S5 just to get rid of some of these extremely annoying issues on the note 3! I'm just glad I didn't go drop $200+ on a high end router thinking that is the issue!

:mad:

Have you tried other ROMs or is your device locked down on company policy? I noticed that this issue disappeared when I recently rooted and installed the Jelly "Beans" ROM onto it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Sung:
Apologies, just seeing this. I solved this issue by resolving my network issues...a subnet router that was improperly configured. I still believe that a switch to turn it off should be present, but it did motivate me to hunt down the problem. :)

Changed from DHCP to static IP

I started experiencing this on a Note 2 a couple of days ago after a factory reset. Prior to that this message never appears.

None of my other devices were having a problem and I tried a number of the solutions described above.

What seems to have done the trick for me was changing my wifi settings from DHCP to static. It's possible I'd been picking up an address conflict, so that's something else to look out for. Has been rock solid since.

KIS web protection

Hi

I started getting this message after installing Kaspersky internet Security for Android and activating Web Protection at the max level, which is checking ALL internet connections, instead of the standard level which is checking only Chrome's connections.

After checking, I found the max level will configure a proxy server (127.0.0.1:3128) on my wifi connection and soon after the wifi connects, I start getting the unstable connection notification.

I got this behaviour on all my wifi APs.

If I set the protection level to standard, the proxy definition is removed and the aforementioned notification disappears!

Hope it helps ...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcharma:
Honestly, the way this error appears makes me think it's a Samsung-specific service doing some sort of bandwidth/phone home/ping test, which, if failed, gives the error. For me, it comes up when I apply Android Firewall with some rather restrictive rules. Can't say for certain if that's it, but at any rate if anyone happens upon the service or app that's making this notification appear, I'd love to know so I can squelch it. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanwarrior:
I concur on this.

1). Installed Android Firewall

2). Set Whitelist mode (only SELECTED apps can have Internet access)

3). Manually (and painstackingly) allows Internet access to selected app, like Chrome, Gmail, etc. Everything else is not allowed to have access, like local games, comic reading, etc.

As soon as I enabled the firewall, this stupid notification shows up... once every a few minutes.

So..... Samsung DOES PHONE HOME.... or at least, something is trying to connect that I am unaware of.

Android Firewall REJECT log shows the following trying to connect:

- Kernel: it's going to 3 different IP addresses

- Bluetooth test: It's going to 11 different IP addresses (NOTE: I turned off Bluetooth)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Hayabusa:
"Tpaquette's" solution sounded the most possible to me. (cache wipeout p.1)

Did it and after 2mins got the notification again.

This thing is getting on my nerves.

Thanks anyway man.

(Note 3,int.version,stock 4.4.2)

******Update: Noticed something important:

Almost all the times I got the notification, I was either downloading some torrent on my pc, or streaming.

This means (to me at least) that this notification really is valid and when the speed of the connection drops, it refers to it as "unstable" which was true in my case.

Suddenly, I dont mind so much...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VanDerGroot:
Not a network issue

Unless all networks my wife and i connect to have issues, this is not a network issue.

We've tried resetting the cache but there isn't much else we can do. I'm convinced this is a software issue, probably a driver that gives a problem with some phones with a slight defect or version of wifi chip.

I really hope we see a fix soon as this constant message is risking to end this phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgmo:
I have this annoying unstable Internet message on my note 3 too and it drives me nutz! But, I am fairly sure that it IS my internet. I have Hughs net satellite Gen 5 and am aware of the "latency" issue. I'm convinced it's the Hughs net that is setting off the phone because I don't get the message when I go to town. But I have no other high speed Internet option where I live so I'm stuck with Hughs Net.

interestingly enough though my daughters S 7 and a friend's new S 8 work great at my house but the Note 3 won't connect most times, cell or wi-fi, and is sluggish when it does. Do I need to just chuck it and buy a later model?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] metrobigboss1981:
i bought my note 3 in sc and came back to iowa to work til thanksgiving. Problem is i have no data signal no 4g 3g or any g. tech support says that tmobile has a contract with iowa wireless to allow text and talk but no data. i was wondering if there was a way to unlock the phone so that it can use other cell towers in the area to allow me to get data. will rooting help this or am i just stuck until i leave iowa. Please help really sucks to have so much phone and not be able to use it to its potential. Sorry if i am in the wrong section please move to the correct one. Thanks. Also my friend has 2g on his tmobile phone tech support says that he may not have it all the time though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Rooting won't make a tower show up. The best you can possibly do would be to try to get activated on a different provide (AT&T for example). But you would have to do some work, and buy an AT&T account to use.

Otherwise, you are stuck with what you got. Coverage maps give you a rough idea of what is available.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Alanmw86:
what i would probably do is try to pickup a wifi hotspot from a different carrier with good coverage and use wifi calling on the phone, not ideal by far though $
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
If it's SIM unlocked you could try getting a straight talk SIM as those use AT&T's network. It's prepaid so you don't need to sign a contract and can end it after a month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] johnomaz:
This is what I was thinking. Buy a prepaid SIM, stick it in your phone and see if it works.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SysAdmNj:
Will I lose the ability to get the 4.4 ota update when available?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] REDFOCZ:
If you just root, then no. What would prevent it from installing is if you have a custom recovery. Then it would fail to install. If your just rooted and take the OTA though you may loose root.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SysAdmNj:
Are you sure? lol.

Well if you lose root, you can always re-root?

Are you rooted and have a custom recovery?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
Custom recovery is fine (from the standpoint of the OTA verification check). Custom kernel will cause OTA to fail, as would any changes/modifications/removals to/from /system (ie the ROM)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SysAdmNj:
To root I need an unlocked bootloader?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
Yes. Unlocking bootloader just sets a flag so signature checks aren't performed. For security reasons it also clears your user data so someone can't just bypass your login.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] alpine101:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] acdcking12345:
Or just wait until your current Custom ROM gets updated to the 4.4, and then flash with that newly created ROM. Boom. 4.4. :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SysAdmNj:
I just got this yesterday and I like it so far, reading on it isnt bad. Even at night, some apps have night mode etc. I dont feel like rooting/unlocking just yet, let alone custom rom'ming, until I'm sure I'm keeping it. Would like to hear the nexus 10 announcement but honestly the size of the nexus 7 is comfortable to carry around. The weight is good, and it kind of fits it in my old nexus 7 rubber case. If I do keep it, definitely looking forward to 4.4 custom roms and a better fitting case. :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Sensamic:
The problem is that to have root you have to install a custom recovery first, since the root file (supersu) is installed from a custom recovery.

So how can we root without a custom recovery?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SysAdmNj:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2467014

It involves unlocking your device by putting your device in bootloader/fastboot mode, but I dont see anything about installing a custom recovery.

Whats your primary use for your n7?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] REDFOCZ:
Web browsing, video watching, and reading magazine's.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
You don't need to "install" custom recovery. Booting custom recovery (leaving stock recovery on the tablet) is good enough.

The key to everything is you need to unlock the bootloader. Once you do that, any number of methods of installing root are possible.

If you don't want to unlock bootloader, then you need to wait for an exploit to be found which could arrive anytime between now and never.

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

It works.

From a technique standpoint, it is equivalent to booting custom recovery and installing root, except everything is automated for you.

The key is you need to unlock.

In the most published method, after unlocking, you boot (or install) custom recovery and manually select the SuperSU or Superuser install update.zip

In CF-AutoRoot, there is a custom kernel that you boot whose job is to install root (essentialy taking care of the manual selection of the SuperSU/Superuser install update.zip), then after a subsequent reboot, you are back to using your original kernel, except root is installed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SysAdmNj:
Thanks for the explanation. I think I'm just going for it as I didnt see any announcements of the nexus 5 or kit kat, let alone nexus 10 I'll just keep my nexus 7 2013. I did more reading on this device the past two days then I've done on my previous nexus 7 and nexus 10 tabs. In other words I like it, good enough to keep.
