Three 4G

No. No update from three.

The whole point of sending the update is to allow the phone to see/select 4G/LTE and the polish ROM can already do that. It is built in.

All I need is three to activate my account and they are taking their sweet time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHRH:
Just a warning for anyone thinking of testing their mobile data connection speed.

I was out for 50 minutes using my data simply to check my speed with the OOKLA SPEEDTEST app.

In that time I used 1.05 GB of my 2GB allowance for the whole month!!!

Oops.:eek:

My phone is rooted and i am running xnote 9.0.

I am with 3 in Leicester, no official text or update messages, but i have been getting 4G since last week.

It seems like if your phone has 4G capability it should automatically switch when it is available.

The best speeds i have got are 30meg Down, and 21 Up from inside house.

You better get your 3 sim back in :)

This is the speed my son gets in Newcastle and has great joy in pointing it out..

Impressive. Did your son get the sim or OTA update?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] workshy:
He got his phone back from lg after a repair and came back with KitKat 4.4 on it. He says he did the 4.4.2 update and then got a message from 3 about 4G.

I've asked him what it said but he can't remember and has deleted it.. Shame as I wanted to know as I have the same phone and pay his contract yet I'm still waiting lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHRH:
Right. This just gets more and more weird.

My wife's Xperia Z is 4G ready and gives 4G on her 3 Pay Monthly sim. When I put my 3 PAYG sim in there, I get 4G as well.

So now we know that both of our sims are setup for 4G.

BUT - when I put either of those sims into the Note 3 I get H+ only. It's not a problem with the phone because I've already established that 4G works fine with an EE and an O2 4G sim.

So by process of elimination somehow there's an issue with my Note 3 and 4G on the 3 network.

Anybody got any clue what's going on?

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

P.S. Neither of us received any sim messages or specific OTA updates by the way.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] columbo:
There appears to be some confusion here.

The update you are expecting from Three to enable 4G is NOT an OTA update. It is a SIM card update and has nothing whatsoever to do with your phone.

SIM updates and OTA updates are not the same thing. You will NOT need an OTA update to enable 4G as it is already enabled, but you will need an update to your SIM card which comes in the form of a text message.

If your have rooted and voided your warranty hoping it will make any difference, then I'm sorry to inform you that you've been wasting your time and may have voided your warranty for nothing.

If you've sold your phone thinking that the Three model you purchased doesn't work with 4G, then congratulations. You've sold your phone for nothing.

Three will send you a SIM update when they send it. There is very little, as far as I know, that you can do to speed it up. Perhaps ordering a new SIM card might help, but I don't know for sure. It wouldn't hurt to make sure that Three know that you have a 4G capable phone, especially if you bought your Note 3 from someone other than Three.

Hope that clears it up.

Are you using a Note 3?

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

Thanks for the reply but I'm not sure what you write makes sense. My sim works fine and picks up 4G when it's in a Sony Xperia Z and my phone (Note 3) is 4G enabled because I get a 4G signal when I use an EE sim. So if my phone and sim are both 4G activated why don't they work together?

I've got a sickening feeling that the 3 network's 4G signal is not compatible with the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theonlyrick:
Hope it's just a glitch...

Certainly your experience suggests that there's some (temporary?) incompatibility between the Note3 and 4G.

If it's any consolation, on complex websites I don't think bandwidth is the limiting factor - I think it's HTML rendering.

And Youtube (another potential bandwidth hog) can be crap for a whole host of reasons, none of which relate to bandwidth. Unless you're using your phone for torrents, I bet you won't notice a big difference when (if?) 4G is switched on.

I've got a Note 3 and I'm with Three, so I would love 4G now, but I think when it happens the best aspect will be bragging about the Speedtest results...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHRH:
How about this - anyone who is on the 3 network and who's got a Note 3, the next time you meet someone with an unlocked/3 phone who is getting 4G, why don't you try your sim in their phone and see what happens?

That way we can see if it's a Note 3 issue or not.

I'm a happy man. I've sorted it. Everything you hear about updates and sim messages appears to be absolute bollocks.

What I did was flash the stock 4.3 UK BTU ROM from sammobile via odin. No root necessary. After flashing I needed to do a factory reset and then everything worked as it should. I now have a fully functioning 4G Note 3 on the Three network.

I'll be more than happy to talk anyone through the steps I took if it's not clear.

I was on mj1, rooted via dela vega, then to mj6 via mobile odin. I only went to mj6 this weekend. I work bang in the middle of a 4g area. Ive got the lte menu on auto select but still got no 4 g goodness yet. Which 4.3 are you using?

In a 4g area if if i do a network scan i can see two '3' networks, one of which I can connect to, and one of which I cant.

Hello guys!

I have a Note 3 (SM-N9005, 32Gb) for 3 days and I have a big problem.

I wanted to update it via Odin to the latest oficial firmware from sammobile.com

I downloaded it from sammobile: N9005XXUENA7_N9005COAENA2_COA (Country Romania, Carrier Cosmote) , unzip it, open ODIN, put it on AP, I hit start and after a while: FAIL!

If I turn on the phone I receive the following message:

"Firmware upgrade encoutered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again."

I downloaded an older version available on sammobile: N9005XXUDMK3_N9005COADMK1_COA same problem but it seems the failure happens faster then the N9005XXUENA7

This log is from N9005XXUDMK3 update

The phone had an official firmware installed. I didn't change anything in 3 days just I wanted to update it with an official firmware.

I don't know what was the firmware before Odin upgrade.

I tried also MJ6 and the same problem...

Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkstoner:
No 4g here.

One thing I've noticed. 3G speeds at work have increased noticeably during the day since the 4g launch. 4g must be taking some load off the 3g masts.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
If you are on MJ1 you can root safely via Root De La Vega and keep KNOX 0x0 -- then do your upgrading via Mobile Odin Pro - You have to do a bit of reading if you choose this way.

I already tried Emergency Firmware.blabla... from Kies but in this case you should have there a log. It supose you tried to update the phone via Kies and firmware upgrade encountered an issue.

Maybe you were a bit stoned ;)but I did say no root required. My knox counter is still 0x0 and everything is still Samsung official stock unrooted. As long as it's a stock official ROM you can flash as many times as you like with odin and nothing changes. It's a win win situation!

I hope this isn't off topic but I'm wondering if I should flash an official KK update via odin - such as the Poland one.

Can anyone comment on whether or not there's a significant improvement over 4.3?

Now I've got 4G sorted I don't want to break it if it's not fixed, as it were. Also, if I flash it via ODIN, will I lose all my current 4.3 customisations?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkstoner:
Im planning on staying on 4.3mj6 for a while. Kitkat as call recording issues and you cant roll back. 4g is 10 times the speed of 3g, and on mj6 battery life is awesome. My humble opinion? 4.4 is not worth it yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHRH:
After all that drama getting 4G functionality, I'm now wondering if it's been worth the hassle. The Note 3 itself isn't really all that it's cracked up to be. I only "upgraded" from the Note 2 for 2 reasons: 1) To get 4G - but it's not available everywhere so I'm mostly using 3G and 3's HSDPA speeds are excellent anyway. 2) To get a better camera. Hmm. I can't honestly say that the Note 3's camera is noticeably better or worse than the Note 2's.

So does anyone else feel that it's a pointless change and that it's better just to stick with the Note 2?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
LOL Oh dear, camera is OK tbh 13MP is good enough, I rarely use mine. I came from a HTC One which was very nice... I only went to the note for screen size, nothing else.

thread necrosis for use fullness as info valid

Sorry to Nero the thread but people likely will still be having 4G issues on three network...

1st you need to check the micro sim you are using on three is 4G as some only provide h+ aka 3g+ or 3.5g all micro sits on three offer that however only some will be 4G.

Secondly 4G will automatically on a your mobile devise rooted or not when you come in range of an active 4G transmitting tower... when this happens the new 4G option will now appear in settings an alternative is plug in someone's 4G active sum then switch back

my nexus 5 of a me in Peterborough and I accepted then was 4G my note 3 just to a with no text or options 4G icon appeared and went live..

So to reiterate

1 4G devise

2 4G enabled simple

3 4G active tower

rooting and custom rooms do not effect the other as I'm rooted on both and one uses custom rom.

now all we need is the new note 3 patch currently on a in uk to enable download booster and know from the sg5

After looking around, it seems that if I install a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), then the OTA will fail: the OTA checks to see if any system files, including recovery have changed. Correct???

But if I install SU, does that mess up the OTA?

[Moto X Q&A] KentuckyHouse:
I've got the GSM Dev Edition, bootloader unlocked running stock rooted 4.4 with TWRP.

So in order to upgrade to 4.4.2, I'll need to do one of two things...

1) Either wait for a flashable zip that I can flash in TWRP

2) Or flash stock recovery, accept the OTA, then reroot by installing SuperSU

Is that correct?
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
You need stock recovery and also supersu removed as well, any mods that you installed must be also removed, basically anything that needs root access must be removed

Sent on my Gummy running Lenoto X
[Moto X Q&A] pboggini:
Are you sure you need supersu removed? I've not found that to be true on Nexus devices. This is also why I'd really like to be able to just boot into a custom recover rather than having to install it. If you boot into the custom recovery, you can install supersu and then you just have root with the stock recovery. OTA's are much easier at this point.
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:

So do you only get the OTA if you're on stock recovery? I mean the notification that its available..

I'm on twrp now with tmobile moto x and I don't see the update yet..
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
You will receive it if you're running the stock ROM with twrp recovery installed , you can even download it but not flash it with custom recovery and rooted. Again you need the stock recovery and a clean system with all native apps installed, all root mods must be removed ie xposed removed , viper4android and driver removed , just to mention a few. Now this is the important part, if you are already running 4.4.2 bootloader from another firmware package please do not flash the ota, why? It sometimes and almost always results in a hard brick, no safeties existing when ota flash, some how the boot loader and partition table mess up. Ota's are not made to flash correctly over the same bootloader with our moto, so please flash either with mfastboot or rsdlite and or flash the system, boot.img and modem manually
