[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyx2:
I have excellent reception on band 4 around my work but inside of my work SUCKS!!!!!!! I thought that band 4 was supposed to be better at going through walls but have not seen it since Verizon has gone to the new band. Not only that but my work is Amf bowling and they have a contract with Verizon across the nation. What can I do to help my signal out inside the building without shoveling money out of my pocket?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nviz22:
Does updating my Note 3 to 4.4 disable band 4 access for LTE on GSM carriers?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surge1223:
Not trying to start any arguments here but what you describe is more like a rootkit in the bios than an antivirus, especially when you take into account android already implements SEAndroid(Linux).

For clarity the rootkit aspect would be the TIMA implementation/hijack of the the linux kernel, this is even more apparent when you take into account that TIMA blacklists older but valid kernels and sends an SMC call that sets the knox flag (TIMA warranty void) if a developer edition kernel is flashed to the device. Plus it would be pretty shafty of Samsung to only bless Verizon/AT&T users with "premium security suite" while leaving Sprint, T-mobile, and other carriers with an trial version of knox security.

I get it, you work for VZ, but thay doesnt mean you have to try justifying Knox. Also knox isnt the reason our bootloader is locked, but I think ive said enough already. I think this thread is a great way to help the community and it seems to be useful for a lot of users and I know the Knox/Bootloader stuff isnt your fault but can we please leave Knox and Bootloaders talk out of VZW and AT&T threads or atleast be transparent/honest about it? Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Again am not the Knox expert and I'm not actually trying to justify it. I was just saying what I think it is to me. And yes I wish our boot loader was unlocked as well but that's way above my pay grade. I used to root as well but I no longer use android anymore. I have everything apple.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Not 100% sure but I can look into it for you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
My samsung rep has forwarded the information to others with in samsung to see if they have heard anything about this compass mis function issue. As soon as I receive a response I will let you know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Looking into the issue. And band 4 is suppose to be a much faster and dependable lte network. 4g service alone is suppose to increase in building reception. Voice quality and etc. and currently only a few devices with in VZ line up supports band 4. And when the note 3 was first released it was schedule to receive the update for Aws allowing it to have Aws capabilities.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyx2:
Guess I want clear when typing sorry. I have band 4 in my area yet my reception is still horrible in my building at work. Maybe I'll call tomorrow and make a complaint and see where it goes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Have you tried a SIM card swap?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyx2:
I think I'll try it. I do have a brand new sim card sent to me through a insurance clam. Thanks.

Yeah no problem. Try the SIM card swap and then let me know how that goes.

95% is a high percent. Lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwebb34:
Yeah it sure is. The other 5% is how much confidence i have in VERIZON. Wish i could go back to AT&T for 174 and some change i could get 10gigs of data and unlimited talk & text.

Yeah verizon is screwing everyone! I get a 17% discount through my work and my verizon bill is still 180 a month with 2 lines. Me and my wife get unlimited talk/text and 4gb of data i also have 10.00$ a month insurance on 1 line.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
It is a standard Android feature to underline misspelled words in red. I'm not talking about autocorrect. I mean, if you have auto correct shut off a red line should be drawn under misspellings. Apparently Touchwiz eliminates this feature. Is there any way to get it back without rooting?

Android does

Was thinking of jumping ship (note 3 on edge) to sprint framily plan. My edge balance is ~500. If I were to port out to Sprint, could I then sell my Vzw Note 3 in order to pay off the edge balance? My concern is if I port out with a balance due.. would the buyer of the phone be able to activate? I'd hate to sell it with a temporarily blacklisted ESN
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthony92170:
sell phone before you port out easier that way. Once the person buys and activates the phone your both good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tw1n5nak35:
Holy mackerel, I thought I was paying alot just for one line. I thought about getting their unlimted tatlk and text but to match the same 10Gb plan I have now, I have to pay a total of $140.00. I don't talk that much on my phone, but I do use a lot of data 9gb average a month and I text alot. I think I'm getting a good deal for $95.00 :D

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streetracer8605:
Currently my wife and I are on a family plan with my parents that the contract end date is 7/14/14. When the contract ends I understand we will just go month to month. However, my questions is when the contract ends is it possible for my wife and I to separate our lines from the main account but keep our unlimited data?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
From my understanding no there is no way. The only thing I could suggest is to sub account yours and your wife's bills. Ultimately your parents are responsible if you don't pay but you will get seperate bills. Meaning your parents will get the bill for their lines and you will receive the bill for yours and your wife's. Unless you are a complete data hog. You really shouldn't need unlimited data. I am on the new family plan with 7 lines and 8gb of data and never go over. Hope this suggestion might help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streetracer8605:
Thanks for the input. I average about 7-10gbs/month and my wife averages 3-5gbs/month. It's too bad there isn't a way for us to do that with our numbers. Looks like come July we'll be going to Sprint. We need out of our family plan, and I want unlimited data so that leaves Sprint as an option. I guess as an added bonus, Sprint doesn't seem to keep their phones locked down like verizon does.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
This is very true Sprint doesn't lock down their phones like but red. On the other hand having family in the Sprint network I would still stay with VZW as far as stability and coverage.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piercing Heavens:
My wife is on her family's line but she is the only one who still has unlimited. Her family no longer wants Verizon because they all gave up their unlimited data plans long time ago and want to switch to T mobile.

Is there any way I can bring my wife's unlimited data line to my Current phone plan? I would be adding her line to my plan while her keeping unlimited? Is this possible?

Sorry for confusion but I think I what i'm saying sounds understandable. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KruseLudsMobile:
I know you don't know this because you said as much in the past but I would really deeply appreciate it if you could ask the people within Verizon that do definitely know - when are we getting KitKat on the note 3?

Thank you. I know it's the norm with Verizon and there updates but I'm getting sick and tired of paying to have the best wireless carrier and they can't update there devices the same time other carriers do.

Verizon needs to get there act together or I'm bye bye.

Really all I'm paying this extra money for is a bit better coverage.

Verizon stop adding all your crap bloatware and you might be able to get updates done in a timely manner.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Don't forget about the locked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthony92170:
Just remember if Verizon removes there bloatware then the price will go up. common business sense.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harleydroid:
Yea I was just ranting on lol. Don't cost them money to leave bootloaders unlocked though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthony92170:
true but Verizon is the only carrier where you can take your phone to t-mobile let's say, without having a code or anyone to unlock it. so in Verizon eyes it's a trade off. I would rather have unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I know they are testing 4.4 right now. Release should be soon. I think they maybe taking a little more time with this release due to the 4.3 debauchery. I would rather have a stable release then a brick after updating. Saw a ton of S4's and N3's being exchanged due to 4.3 update.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
To be honest am not 100% sure. I think it's just a Samsung thing
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
I have seen the wavy lines you are talking about on Motorola and LG devices but I noticed on Samsung devices I have never seen it. But I'm currently not aware as to wether or not the feature can be added back without rooting. It's just software related. I just tried the google keyboard app itself off the play store and it still doesn't do the red lines or anything if I misspelled a word.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Still waiting for some type of response from Samsung as to the compass issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
No not yet. I know sprint will be the first U.S carrier to see the kit kat roll out. T-mobile has begin rolling out kit kat to their note 3 variant. Verizon note 3 variant is still underneath testing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Shouldn't be an issue. Doing a assumption of liability for you and your wife does not affect your contract end date or affect current features on a line. Am pretty sure your on a account that has the nationwide talk palm or nationwide talk text plan.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
No not necessarily. Can be done through assumption of liabilities. All he is doing is just separating his and his wife lines off his parents account and putting his and his wife line under his name. Won't affect his current plan at all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
What plan are you currently on? And if on a shared plan and you add her to your line she will be definitely losing her unlimited data of your bring her line to your account. However keep in mind you could always bring her line to your account but when you do that aol please make sure you state to the rep your doing this over the phone with that you want your wife's line to remain on a individual plan so she can keep her unlimited data. All your doing is moving her line underneath your name that's all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Yeah bro I know it sucks. It's not necessarily that they don't want to update their software at the same time carriers do however you do have to realize each carrier has a different variant off the phone and that each carriers software is different from each other. Same functions and etc from a update but each carrier tweaks the software to work ok their respective variant and add bloat ware and etc.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Lmao you would think so but I can't say that's true.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsout5129:
Hulk0069, yes the insurance will follow. It follows the phone number not the particular device. So as long as the phone is active on the same phone number you had insurance on, then you are good. To give yourself peace of mind you can go to your MYVERIZON account and click on features and it will be listed right there.

You may have read this earlier in the thread... But I am hoping something can be done to fix the compass in samsung Note 3. Even if you through the figure 8 maneuver to set it up the compass quickly loses track of North and doesn't work at all in a car. This makes use of compass mode in google maps impossible while driving. My old thunderbolt and Razr Maxx both work fine in the car in compass mode and both hold North after a restart of the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsout5129:
What are the steps you have taken so far, I do not want to be redundant if it is something you have already tried.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
The usual figure 8 waving about of phone and the rotating on all 3 axes. It does work until you set foot in a car or restart your phone. Once you do either of those things compass loses the ability to find North accurately. This is a well known problem among users and is not problem with my phone in particular. It requires a software fix from Samsung or Verizon but nobody at either company acknowledges the problem. Try it yourself. Get in your car and try using a compass app or Google maps in compass mode. Every Verizon Note 3 has this issue.

I am using the same SIM card in my Note 3 that I had in my Galaxy S3 two years ago or so (when I switched phones I just popped the old card into the new phone).

I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and was going to purchase a new Sandisk 128gb Microsdxc card in my phone. My phone is not rooted.

It is currently running ICS 4.2.2. Evidently an upgrade to KitKat 4.4.2 is coming out soon.

I have read that for phones running KitKat 4.4.2, all non-system apps are only allowed to write to one designated location on extsdcard. I want to continue to use root Explorer to manipulate and move files from one location to another. How can Root explorer and other third party apps such as apps that manipulate photos, etc. deal with this problem when I upgrade my phone when the Verizon OTA update comes out? So if I copy a file onto my microsdxc card with my pc, only if I have it in the correct location, then on the phone I can modify it and access it only using the one application that is forced to use that folder, and no other apps on the phone can access it?
