[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TheMightiest1981:
I'm going to interject on this subject because it is annoying as hell. First of all I have the same problem, but when I'm connected to wifi, my cell signal drops to nothing and if I'm on a call I hear nothing but choppy voices and the calls always drop within 2 minutes. It may put the cell radio into a low power status but it also makes making or receiving calls unbearable or even impossible on wifi. I use a data on off widget and when I'm not using my phone I turn the data off, so this is not remotely an issue with me. My ability to talk on the phone is a huge issue and cell signal drop for me has caused me to never connect to wifi on my G-note3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
Sounds like the WiFi calling bug. My cell signal is terrible at my apartment on WiFi so I have low signal issues regardless. I have no problems in other places when connected to WiFi and making phone calls. I am on at&t though and do not use WiFi calling.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 2005evolution8mr:
I had the same issue with my first note 3. I went back to tmo and argued It the no signal issue. It showed no signal when wifi was on but the cell was preferred over wifi calling. Turned off wifi signal, on no signal. Then after a few minutes the bars appeared back with wifi on. The manager came and told me that's normal for the bars to disappear. I said No Way Because they were there yesterday. But she said it's normal with wifi on I said I don't use wifi calling be I have good signal in house, But Need It on for browsing. She that's how it is I said bs, so I looking at my phone and I see no signal bars unless I turn off wifi or use wifi calling. Don't think so. And they only way I can check for signal is when I'm on wifi is to call.. No way. She said it's not a phone issue but a tech issue. I said it's the phone why was it on for the last 13 days ago now gone with wifi on. Finally she said she would exchange it. All this bs and she is my friend too. Now my phone doesn't have the issue but has rebooted by itself once again. I knew it was coming because the phone just froze on the flip app. I like Android and it's features, but damn I mess ios's stability.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LaloHigh:
Have you all checked your status when on wifi?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] apols:
It's not about LTE and attempting to use data, it's that you lose all cellular coverage so you can't make calls. Even if I'm getting 100% of my data from my wifi, I still need to maintain a connection to the mobile tower to route calls (with wifi calling disabled, which I immediately do because it's unreliable and sucks).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pedro2NR:
Do you have a screen shot of it?

I assume when on Wifi and Wifi calling off, 4G LTE is not on because it's primarily on Wifi but you have signal bars.

With Wifi on and Wifi calling on, again the Wifi icon over takes the 4G logo. But the signal bars are down to zero because your using Wifi signal due to Wifi calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
Just because it doesn't show signal bars doesn't mean you don't gave signal. Your dBm and asu trump bars.

I see his pic in the first post now.

I also see how I misread it.

There are 3 separate Radios at least that we are talking about here.

I think the OP should check this setting.

Settings >> Connections >> More Networks >> Mobile Networks >> Network Mode

Then tell us how it is set
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gr8Danes:
Same issue here with Wi-Fi calling off and Wi-Fi on. I think it's just a bug with the signal meter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Not sure what I am supposed to be looking at? The mobile network state? Mine also says disconneted when Wi Fi is on. Although my cell bars do not go down when I turn on Wifi is still says "disconnected". What does it mean? I tried calling my number it still receives calls.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] millerliteguy:
It is set as follows - LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] les_garten:
Do you have any trouble making phone calls when you turn on wifi?

You may want to install "Network Signal Info" or some of the Network info tools and examine your signal levels with and without Wifi to see if these is any change.

"Network Signal Info" is a little buggy BTW
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] millerliteguy:
Here are the photo with and without wifi turned on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] les_garten:
Does drop some, but I kinda question your "calibration" I usually get around -102 dBm to -107 dBm at my house, pretty poor usually. I have more bars than you. When I'm at -102 I have about 1-2 bars.

So mine and yours are differnt in how the signal is reflected in the graphic.

Can you make calls when the wifi is on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] millerliteguy:
No cant make calls while wifi is on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] les_garten:
Hmm, that won't work, ehhh?

Need to return that phone methinks.

Where did you buy it from?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gr8Danes:
Update on mine, Did notice that when I receive a call with wifi on, the person on the other line can't hear me but I can hear them. Turn wifi off and no problem. I hate having to turn wifi off every time I get a call in order to receive the call (or make it for that matter).

Hopefully they come up with the patch soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zmore:
Isn't it easier to just disable WiFi calling instead? Settings > Device > Call Wi-Fi Calling == OFF.

I tested it, and it is atrocious (the other person reported hearing herself echo), so no more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gr8Danes:
I was referring to having Wi-Fi calling off
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jtech011:
I have the same problem. I wouldn't complain but my router is not as good as it used to be. It randomly drops connection. And when it does the call gets disconnected. My wife has the same phone but has both wifi and mobile network on at the same time. Also same settings and all. The attached picture is my wife's phone. Both wifi and mobile data are conmected. My phone shuts off mobile data when wifi is on. Is it too late to return my phone? Had it for almost a month.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rcboosted:
This worked for me. I had to turn off wifi after I turned on wifi calling for the signal to appear. Then I turned wifi back on, bars disappear again, turned off wifi calling, bars appeared.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CravingMender9:
Finally!! Works! Thank you :)

Aah! Thank You sooo much, can't tell you how grateful I am for the fix. Works great now :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Am I the only one who is totally confused about this thread? Please help me out LOL.

I read this thread, if I turn Wi Fi calling ON all my bars go to zero, I thought this was normal? Are you guys "tricking" the phone to show bars of cell signal with Wi Fi calling turned ON also?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CravingMender9:
WiFi calling: Solution

No no, ok, let me try to clarify this for everyone:

With WiFi calling turned on, the signal should anyways go OFF, since everything (Call/SMS/MMS) is over Wifi. That is normal.

But in some phones, there is a problem with Wifi Calling, where even if it is turned OFF, and if you are connected to Wifi, you still lose signal.

It affects the call quality drastically, with some people just not being able to make/receive calls, SMS and MMS, and some like me will receive it over Wifi, with pathetic quality, with lags, call drops, the other person not able to hear etc. (Again, this is even when Wifi calling is OFF).

If you have this problem, this is what I did to solve it:

Switch ON WiFi calling

Set WiFi preferred as the preference

Switch OFF WiFi calling

I had to switch on Airplane mode, and then switch it off again (Maybe optional, or may require restart, not sure about this)

I just experimented a bit more, after you restart, the problem is solved even if you again switch ON WiFi calling and set it Cellular preferred, and switch it off again. i.e. The problem is completely solved.

Let me know if it helps. And if the outcome is the same for everyone who is having the problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mamey2000:
quick fix

Turn on wifi. Turn on wifi calling. In wifi calling settings, Connection settings, select wifi calling preferred wait 5 sec. Then select mobile network preferred. The bars should appear again. Then turn wifi calling off. The bars should be back to normal during wifi usage.

Okay,

So I have spent the past hour and a half searching not just xda but the entire internet for a solution to my problem.

I'm trying to install TWRP over CWM and it says it installed through Goo.manager but when I reboot into recovery it still pops up with CWM. I have deleted all files on my phone pertaining to CWM and can find none that have anything to do with TWRP. I have done this step about 10 times and still have had no other result. Its insane.

After searching the forums, everyone else said that it should just install over CWM (version 6.0.3.8) and I should have TWRP. Unfortunately, that is not the case for my GS3. I originally had TWRP but accidently updated it to CWM through Rom manager. CWM doesn't seem to flash my roms as well and its becoming a hassle.

Does anyone know why CWM keeps popping up?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Remove ROM Manager.

Go to TWRP, find your device

Make sure to get the good one. In that page, you have instructions for alternate method (dd or ODIN), choose either one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Andrew9mb:
Okay, I did remove ROM manager right after I set twrp as my default recovery in ROM manager. Still didn't do anything. But if I have to I guess I can flash it through Odin. I'll try that when I get home and let you know how that goes. Thanks for the feedback.

I've been using Swype for a long time and am very used to the way you can correct words by clicking on the S key with the finger on it.

The new Samsung keyboard has a lot of stuff on it that I like, but I really miss that ability. I suspect there is a way to do the same but have been unable to find it yet. The manual only seems to cover the very basics.

Anyone find a good tutorial for editing and using the keyboard?

I have loaded the Swype keyboard for the phone and it works like I am used to but I'd like to use the normal keyboard is possible.

Had the phone now since Tues afternoon, and except for the fact that I have zero time to play with it so far, I love the phone a lot.

This one thing is driving me crazy and just because it's not working.

First of all the phone will not reconnect automatically with my car. Each time I get in I have to manually connect.

I've used NFC Task Launcher to automate turning wifi, blutooth on and off, changing volumes and launching Pandora in my car.

This phone refuses to behave consistently so I switched to Tasker. It won't change the volume at all and is even less reliable than NFC Task Launcher.

Anyone using these apps successfully? How? And how about bluetooth?

BTW, I'm on VZW with CleanROM flashed.

How can i backup through odin or any sort of nandroid backup with a broken digitizer? so i have no access to boot or any on screen function (rooted)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: Odin / Backup

You cannot use ODIN to BACKUP anything, ODIN is used for flashing firmware/modem/kernels/bootloaders.

The only thing you can do if you cannot use your screen at all is to turn on the phone and connect

USB cable from phone to computer and then copy files/folders from phone to your computer.

You need to install the samsung usb drivers in your computer for this process to work.

(most likely you already have the samsung usb drivers installed).

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] eeeeek:
correction

Well.. although it's true ODIN is for flashing only, the rest of your answer is at best not complete... it is possible to create your own ODIN images.

It all depends on wheter OP had USB debugging enabled and is rooted already, if this is the case you can just enter a shell from your computer by using 'adb shell', the next thing would be to dump your partitions to images by using 'dd' and 'adb pull' to download them and finally using tar and md5sum to pack these dumps to an ODIN flashable tar.md5

[Moto X Q&A] sleepyguy007:
I'm not sure if this is a moto X specific thing, but I've not had this problem on my previous phones.

So I noticed when I send a MMS to a friend (i'm on t-mobile , he's also on t-mobile with an htc one though i'm doubing that matter) he says it will say the image is too big and can't be sent or something like that. or that it can't be received.

I google about this a bit, and i saw a little bit of talk of it being a bug in the phone, and that you can't send MMS when on wifi but it would work when not on wifi (not sure how that makes any sense either). I saw some other posts about how if you send a message attached via gmail THEN send an MMS then MMS would start working , which also makes no sense to me as that seems so unrelated.

So previous to this phone i had a droid razr m (was on verizon before and even unlocked it for t-mobile for a bit) and i remember on that phone, when i sent an mms, sometimes the phone would say somethign like "this image will be resized before sending". the moto X never says that so is that a bug in the moto x? since i know that is an MMS size limit, but this phone never seems to prompt to resize.

anyway has anyone else had this issue?
[Moto X Q&A] poland153:
YES, I have the same issue as well! Finally I found someone else that has the same problem as me haha.

When I first got my Moto X it worked just fine but recently I tried sending pictures to friends who also have T-Mobile and they all say that they can't see the picture because it says it is "too big", so along the same lines as the problem that you're having.

I going to call T-Mobile tomorrow and see if its maybe something on their side because when I check the details of the picture/message I sent, the size of the picture is under 1000KB (1000KB = 1MB which is the limit for sending MMS through T-Mobile, anything over 1MB gets stopped on their network).
[Moto X Q&A] poland153:
Quick update:

I called T-Mobile an a representative told me that there were two ways of sending an MMS, specifically a picture, with the Moto X:

1. Stock Messaging App > Thread > Attach(Paper Clip icon) > Pictures. Then you select a picture from your gallery

2. Stock Messaging App > Thread > Attach(Paper Clip icon) > Capture Picture.

With the representative on the line, we tried both ways and figured out that option 1. works while 2. does not.

The conclusion that we came to is that if you capture a picture immediately, then it takes a full size picture and DOES NOT re-size it for MMS at all. HOWEVER, if you take a picture beforehand and then add it to a message from the gallery, it DOES re-size it.

I plan to call Motorola tomorrow and tell them about this issue so that hopefully they can either send out a fix or add it to an overall OTA update.

Hopefully I can contribute something to this forum haha :laugh:

Eh, I've tried that and GO sms app and multiple other ones back when I had a Samsung Mesmerize. Maybe that's why I grew favor to the stock AOSP app compared to the Samsung and other third party apps. O well.

Quick troubleshooting update: Ever since we got the update to Kit Kat and the introduction of using Hangouts to SMS, I've stayed with the stock app instead of Hangouts just because I like it better. However, I will switch to Hangouts just to see if I can send pictures successfully through that. Crossing my fingers this will work and will report back if anything improves :)

So I've been using Hangouts for a couple of days and MMS and picture messaging works. I can send a picture to any T-Mobile number and they can download it and view it :D.

Looks like Hangouts is the way to go for now :D
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
I've read the same issue in another thread. and the 2 fixes you mentioned came up:

1. people saying using hangouts fixes the issue

2. People saying attaching to MMS works and capturing a photo doesn't.
[Moto X Q&A] Mitalis:
It's a bug with the Kit-Kat AOSP messaging apk. Other phones have this issue as well. I'm assuming that Google removed the picture compression code in an effort to get people to use Hangouts for SMS/MMS as Hangouts will compress down the pic w/o notifying you.
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
same issue in Hangouts running the pre-installed and latest version. Also you need evidence to back that up if it's really a known bug and not a rumor.

---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

Just a quick update:

I've been using Hangouts for a quite a while now and have not had a problem since. I have nothing against Hangouts but I would like to have a dedicated MMS/SMS application because I don't really want Hangouts to be checking for messages ever so often.

I have unlimited MMS/SMS and no unlimited data anyways ;)
