[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
Make sure you are using the OEM 2.0A charger from Asus and leave it connected to charge overnight for at least 8 to 12 hours. Unplug it and wait a few minutes before attempting to get into Recovery Mode or Bootloader (hold Volume Down & Power to restart) - if that work, reconnect the power supply as you want it to get power while cycling.

Keep a close watch on any error or messages popping up on the screen as you do this - post them here.

What is your goal in doing a Factory Reset ?

If the battery is completely dead & remained in that state for a long time, it might not come back to life & a replacement battery is probably the answer for the long run - is it out of warranty ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leecasey:
Hi the correct has been used. I left it charging over night and is now at 100%. I can tell this from the battery indicator in the middle of the screen when I power off.

When I try and boot into recovery (vol - & power) the device just goes back to the "Erasing..." screen where it stays indefinitely (to my knowledge). The screen is still animated (the robot with the blue rotating graphic inside him).

If the warranty is 1 year then I believe it has expired.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leecasey:
Is there any way to clear the pending factory reset request? I can't believe an untouched, un rooted device has just bricked like this :(

I am putting a $20 reward via paypal for anyone who can supply the solution to this as a thank you for the time they put into it. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakesen:
It's strange indeed. Make sure you keep holding volume down until you (in theory should) get to the bootloader menu.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidmaximus:
I have the same problem. Whenever I turn the device on, it goes straight to Erasing... screen, no way out. If I try to do Power+Volume Down thing, it turns off the device, then it'll start again and back to Erasing... screen. Help! :crying:

The best I could do is a combination of Gravity Box and Moto Xposed but motoxposed overrides the gravity box clock colors... Is there another way to change the clock color?

[Moto X Themes and Apps] MikeG7265:
I'm using just gravity box, and I don't have any problems changing the clock color. The only color I can't seem to change is the data signal, it stays the holo blue.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] zgroten:
I fixed that by going into the status bar color setting and checked this;

But now there's that WiFi spacing issue that motoxpose fixes since I had to disable it.

I've talked to the MotoXposed Dev. He said he plans on making MotoXposed open source. Once that happens, I plan on making an Xposed Module that only fixes the Wifi Spacing and removes the carrier label in the statusbar.

Hang tight. :p

Oh that would be amazing! That's the only worthwhile mod in motoxposed.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milan03:
As many of you already know, Note 3 is one of a few Verizon smartphones that has a Category 4 LTE modem, capable of delivering 150Mbps download speeds. Verizon's been rolling out new LTE layer on AWS or Band 4, and in many cities like NYC, LA, SF, Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, Miami, to name a few users have been seeing speeds just under 100Mbps, but only using Category 3 devices like GS4, iPhone 5s, etc which are hardware limited at 100Mbps.

Since this is a Note 3 forum, it would be great to have this thread for reports on Verizon's Band 4 LTE, and especially Speedtest.net results which should be north of 100Mbps!

Similar thread exists in GS4 forums: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2502716

And a much more in depth one over at HoFo: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...ent-and-Verizon-sites-with-Remote-Radio-Units

This article also talked about Verizon's 2x20Mhz AWS LTE: http://gigaom.com/2013/10/14/watch-out-att-verizons-new-lte-network-monster-stirs-in-nyc/

On Galaxy phones it should be easy to access ServiceMode via dial codes, which will allow you to monitor the Band you're connected to, and even force the certain frequency. I don't own Note 3, but afaik Verizon usually tries to block out these codes, although there used to be an app in Play Store that would dial the codes for you (Samsung ServiceMode or Sammy codes)

*#0011# General Debug screen

*#2263# Allows you to force any frequency on your phone

*#27663368378# Main screen

There are a few other codes, please post your findings!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
That's pretty neat. Thanks for the info!

I wonder what this'll mean for Verizon customers currently grandfathered into the unlimited 4G LTE data plans and if there's any plans of discontinuing that service.

I'll have to check this out once I head back to the city.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milan03:
Unlimited users still get to access this LTE channel with capable device like Note 3.

This is what users are seeing on GS4, but remember GS4 is capable of only 100Mbps on the downlink, so that's the limiting factor. Note 3 can push 150Mbps!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NeoMagus:
I have read conflicting reports, pretty sure its still disabled on our firmware. One guy said he tried in his AWS enabled area and it wasnt recieving it, still same speed as MI9 and others thought they might since they were seeing speeds of like 60 down.

I'm not in one of those areas and lucky to see 30 down on a good day, so I can't tell you definitively either way.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milan03:
Have you tried the Play Store apps to get into ServiceMode?

There are a few of them, I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amoopa.sammysmode&hl=en

There seems to be a similar free one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kabasoft.util.servicemodeshortcut&hl=en

No, as I said I dont live in a AWS area.

Here was the post though

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milan03:
Post screenshot of *#0011# and I'll explain how to analyze it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milan03:
Ok, so you're looking at the first line where it says LTE Band. Band 13 is the original LTE layer in 700Mhz spectrum.

PLMN: 311-480 is the country/network code, unique to Verizon Wireless.

Bandwidth is the amount of spectrum they're using. Band 13 is 10Mhz nationwide, capable of 73.6Mbps peak speeds. Their Band 4 is in many markets 20Mhz capable of 150Mbps peak speeds!

RSRP is "reference signal receive power" -44dBm being amazing, and -140dBm you're about to drop connection.

SNR is "signal to noise ratio" the higher the better. 30dB is perfect.

RSRQ is "reference signal receive quality" -3dBm being amazing and -19dBm terrible.

PA state displays the new envelope tracking (ET) feature only Note 3 has, it saves battery and should improve upload, etc....

You really should be watching the first line and try to spot "BAND 4" and the third line showing you the BW (bandwidth). Should be between 10Mhz and 20Mhz depending on the market. Please state your market when you post screenshots, it will really help me figure out which areas are getting this massive capacity!

Hope this helps! ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] lisek99:
So do you know why I can't access those codes?

*#2263# Allows you to force any frequency on your phone

*#197328640# Main screen

I really wanna try to enable that band 4 option
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milan03:
Ever since HTC Thunderbolt which had a similar ServiceMenu, Verizon got paranoid about giving users too much low level control, and started requesting OEMs to block these codes from the final shipping ROMs. T-Mobile variant for instance has all of the ServiceMode pages enabled. So the ServiceMode.apk is still there, but it isn't listening dialer any more. You can try those apps I've posted above, they should get you to the service mode.

There is also *#27663368378# Which is the actual root of the app. Also, certain ROMs enable this. It's really enabling it in the build.prop. ServiceMode is baked into the TW framework, so ROM must be TW based.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] lisek99:
After using *#27663368378# I navigated thru the menu and I got to this screen but after enabling it and rebooting the phone my band was still at 13

None if these codes are doing anything for me on beans rom. Type em in and all it does is dial.

Well I just tried to buy the app from the 1st link and it says my Note 3 isnt supported and wont let me download it. Howd you get into the menu? The apk for servicemode is showing in Titanium and not frozen dont know why it wont open
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milan03:
Ah finally! After the reboot, do you have Band 4 ENABLED? Did it stick? Which ROM are you on and what metro area are you in?

Not all areas have Band 4 enabled. NYC, LA, SF, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, but also Lexington, KY, etc... Try testing it in the busiest parts of your city, since Verizon is deploying there first, to alleviate the congestion.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] changt34x:
Hi Milan, nice seeing you here, read a lot of your posts over at HoFo and S4GRU.

YES!!! AWS live in Philadelphia!!! I have kept up with the HoFo thread and haven't heard of any sighting in Philly yet.

What I did was first enabled B4 like above and then went into UE setting, settings, protocol, NAS, network control, band selection, and under LTE preference chose B4 to force it. Interesting enough there is no B13 option in there.

I have screenshots of service mode, was speed test, and b13 speed test. Too bad signal on AWS sucks so I can't really use it. I guess this is because Verizon had the lowest number of towers here. My speed test is quite poor but compared to B13 in Philly, otherwise known as the slowest network in Philly other than Verizon CDMA, pretty much anything is improvement.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milan03:
Hey this is awesome news!!! Congrats! They seem to be running another 10Mhz FDD LTE in the AWS. EARFCN value of 2100 corresponds to B block AWS license they've acquired from SpectrumCo cable companies! So you should be having another 73.6Mbps channel which should alleviate the congestion!

Have you tried testing in a busy areas of Philly during the Off-Peak hours just to see if the capacity is there? Don't forget to put Network Selection back to "Automatic", otherwise you won't be receiving any calls, just LTE Data ;)

Thank you for posting a short guide on how to properly enable B4 on Note 3!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NeoMagus:
Again how are you guys even getting into the service mode? Both of those apps and none of the codes seem to work what am I doing wrong here?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] docnok63:
I just read this article saying Verizon is opening up even more of the pipeline to 40MHz, so I decided to check what my current connection in Memphis was. Sure enough, I was automatically connected to Band 4. For the moment, it's actually worse than Band 13 here. I'm indoors and I've read that Band 4 doesn't penetrate buildings as well as Band 13 in this thread though, so that might have something to do with it. It's too damn cold to check outside.

The last 3 tests are Band 4 and are Little Rock, Memphis, and Dallas respectively.

EDIT: For some reason, the screenshots are broken links. Here they are:

I guess that's true, but where else would VZW enable AWS if not in the most congested area of San Francisco?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] skunkle88:
It is a $30 dollar a month pre-paid plan. It's unlimited data, text, and 100 minutes of talk. The data gets throttled after 5gb to their edge network. I picked the sim starter kit at Walmart for $42. That pays for your sim and first month of service, $30 every month after. You can bypass the 100 minutes with google voice or I use the Vonage mobile app - It gives me another 1000 minutes (only on outgoing calls).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] docnok63:
So I decided to brave the cold this morning to test this building penetration issue during off hours. I connected to the Memphis server four times in a row. The results are below. They're the bottom four results.

The first set was indoors on Band 4-. Impressive upload speed for indoors.

The next is same spot indoors on Band 13- Better download, but slower upload.

Next is outdoors on Band 13 (I was lazy and wanted to save a reboot)- Very nice download indeed.

Lastly is same spot outdoors on Band 4- Much slower download than Band 13, but better than being indoors. Upload is slower than indoors on Band 4 and within margin of error versus Band 13 outdoors.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/68066384/Screenshot_2013-12-09-08-03-17.png

--------------------------------------------------

One more thing- I use my phone indoors as a wifi hotpot for my lappie: I decided to compare speed tests from it using the same website as the in-store app,. First Band 4 then Band 13.

Conclusion- Again download was much faster on Band 13 and upload was basically the same.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/68066384/band4_hotspot.jpg

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/68066384/band13_hotspot.jpg

To summarize, AWS must not be fully implemented here in Memphis. The speed difference is better on regular Band 13 for the most part.

EDIT: I have no idea what's going on with my uploads to this site, but adding Dropbox links.

Is anyone able to just walk outside and start connecting to Band 4? I'm saying having it enabled but not forced. I stood outside in San Francisco with my buddy and his Moto X. His download was between 40-50mbps and upload was 20-30mbps. We looked at mine (B4 enabled but not forced) and I was barely eeking out 1mbps down and 0.7mpbs up.

His Moto X is stock on 4.4, since he can't force B4 on his Moto X is it safe to say that the Moto X is able to automatically switch to Band 4 while the Note 3 cannot? If that's the case, what is the purpose of enabling Band 4 on the Note 3?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] justsayinbro:
It should be that simple, once it's enabled.

Whenever I'm in range, the Note 3 connects to Band 4 automatically. As I get further away (-115ish) it drops back to Band 13.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] kampana:
OK, might be my phone then. I have to force Band 4 to connect to it, otherwise it just stays at Band 13 even with B4 enabled.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] docnok63:
I was in downtown Memphis today and I was thinking if AWS wasn't good there; it wasn't going to be good anywhere. My results tell me that AWS is limited in range and VERY line of sight. You literally have to be in the sweet spot to get the best speeds. Buildings can not be in the way of you and the tower and you HAVE to be close. My experience:

1:42- I was already on band 4 from home and just did a test. It was unremarkable and I almost didn't do any further testing.

2:05- I walked to a different location and rebooted. Apparently I connected to a different tower. Great upload speed here.

2:10- I walked to a different spot which was probably the same distance to the tower, but I was probably behind a large building. My download speed decreased by over 50%.

2:23- In a clear area, but about 3 blocks farther away from downtown Download speed is nearly the same, but upload has gone down the tubes.

5:41- Indoors at home and on band 13. I'm getting the same speeds as AWS outside.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bursthead:
It's like a dream come true. I'm in Los Angeles. About an hour ago my signal surprisingly improved. I was kind of shocked. Went to check the band and I see I'm on band 4. I have been dealing with the poor signal quality of note 3 since I got the phone. And now I can hold lte without dropping to 3g.

Ah thanks for the location! Went there, the panels are right behind the soccer field 11th Ave 53rd Street. I don't have a Category 4 Verizon device so I had to use an iPhone 5s, so I was limited by my device to 100Mbps on the downlink.

Wow that is incredible, wish you had a Cat 4 device to test with. KPHL has had Band 4 for quite some time now, normally in the 20/10 range, but I'm guessing it was probably that many were heading back for the holidays today (it was packed).

On the other hand, how much data did you use just standing there doing speed tests? I'm going to guess ~5GB (looks like you ran a lot of tests).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milan03:
11GB ;)

Have the unlimited plan so it's not a big deal. I honestly can't wait to get a Cat 4 Verizon device, but may wait for GS5 unless I can get my hands on Note 3 on the cheaper side. Theoretically I have a Cat 4 Nexus 5, but that thing can't attach to Verizon.

I'm assuming you are using Kingo, which is Windows only. Easiest way for me was to VMware Windows, should be an easy install with its automatic setup and drivers. Then just don't forget to keep connecting Samsung_Android to Windows instead of Mac and you should be good to go.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milan03:
Yeah ended up using Kingo, but initially tried Odin and Root de la Vega which failed miserably. After using iPhone 5s on Verizon, it's fair to say that Note 3 RF performance is order of magnitude better. Between more spatially separated Rx ports and Envelope Tracking, I'm getting more consistent throughput and almost doubled upload!

Plus it works on T-Mobile just fine, although I don't think HSPA+42 on AWS band is supported.
