On my old samsung T-101 (upgraded to T-108) it had a software voicemail prog for missed calls when it would store voicemail on the phone and under missed call list you had an extra play voicemail option under each of the callers.

I was wondering if anyone knows a similar prog for WM5? considering how more advanced the universal is it should be an easy addon but I've searched high & low for one with no success :(

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericritou:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (International unlocked) and I have rooted it, and via Odin I have installed Android 4.4.2 (KitKat - it is the version from Poland since it has not been released for the UK yet). Everything is working pretty smoothly but Three has started sending out OTA updates which are needed in order to be able to receive 4G and I can not get the update because my phone has been rooted. To get around this problem this is what I have tried so far:

1: Contacted Three and asked them if they can give me the update in ANY other way, such as text, new SIM etc Three refused and said it is only available OTA.

2: Unrooted my phone by flashing my phone with the Kitkat ROM from Sam firmware taking it back to stock, but then when I search for updates, it says that my device has been modified. I know that SD cards can cause this problem so I removed the SD and rebooted but it was the same.

3: Did a factory reset, cleared partition/Dalvik cache etc then installed 4.4.2 - still says that my device has been modified so no update!

Is it possible that tripping my Knox counter (yes it has/don't care) can prevent OTA updates? I would have thought this unlikely?

Is it possible that Samsung is detecting that the version of Android that I am using, although official has not been released for this country?

Does anyone know where I can get the Three 4G OTA to install it manually? Would it be a case of flashing it with ODIN or is it a zip file?

Thanks in advance for any help on this one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
You won't need the OTA update as the XEO (Poland) firmware has 4G/LTE compatibility on it. You have to wait for Three to roll out your 4G properly, up until now unless you're in London it's only in test phase.

Many thanks for that info. Will it work OK here though? Is it for same frequencies etc?

Hi, I am in a very similar situation. I too have a GN3 9005, also on threeUK network. I bought the phone from amazon.co.uk, so I dont have any three stuff on it. I am also rooted and flashed the leaked firmware and so far so good. I am also a bit worried that we might not get the 4G update if we are rooted. I am also waiting for the official firmware for UK model on samfirmware, hopefully if you flash that you should be on the correct track to receive the update.

Can I ask which file did you use to go back to stock? And did you boot into the official samsung recovery and did a factory reset/wipe cache ??

Maybe the solution to your question.

I bought somebody's unwanted upgrade on O2. I then unlocked it and am now using my 3 PAYG sim.

Currently my network settings don't show 4G as an option either.

Does anybody know if I'll get the 3 OTA update, even though the phone is running an O2 stock 4.3 unrooted ROM?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webjunky:
since your device is rooted , why not just change csc version to your country
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
On the Polish XEO firmware (custom ROMs also) - I get 4G without any updates on Three and O2... my device status is custom and I've not had an OTA update since the day I bought my phone in Oct and It has been wiped and reset many times since.. So not sure why you cannot get it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericritou:
OK I think I have gotten to the bottom of this now

Right here goes:

1. Flashed clean Android 4.4.2 Kitkat official Polish ROM from SamFirmware. Tested OTA Update=Your device has been modified.

2. Rooted via CF Root and then downloaded Chainfire Triangle away (the latest version supports Note 3) then run it to reset flash counter. Please note that I did not reset Knox counter only the flash counter. Tested OTA Update=Your device has been modified.

3.Booted into recovery mode - did a wipe of cache partition, Tested OTA Update=Your device has been modified.

4. Booted back into recovery mode and did a factory reset, Tested OTA Update=SUCCESS! "You have the latest updates" message.

So...nothing to do with Polish ROM, everything to do with Flash counter on 0 and a factory reset using the default recovery.

So I hope this helps you all if you are in a similar position, however for me the main reason for me to be rooted is to have Nandroid backups via clockwork mod. Within 5 mins of the above I had re installed clockwork mod again and then used it to restore my phone exactly the way it was just before I started. The fact that there was no OTA means that I am going to just wait and see if my phone picks up 4G on its own since in network settings I have the option of LTE listed. If not then I now know exactly what I need to to to get the update but if I have to do it I will have to set up my phone again from scratch and I really cant be bothered so I am going to put it off for now.

Three 4G OTA Update on rooted phone

Spoke to Three looking for 4G update info and established that although an update from three is required for 4G, it is not an OTA update, it is via text message, so everyone with a rooted phone does not need to worry as long as 4G or LTE is selectable in the phone menu.

Lastly the text update is slowly being sent to all three customers with a 4G compatible phone between now and the end of March, so everyone should have it before April.

Three 4G

In order to get 4G from three you must have 4G or LTE selectable in your phone settings plus the other text from three for settings.

The first one is via OTA update.

If you are rooted you may get it depending on how much your system has changed.

Personally I could not getget OTAs so I downloaded Android Kitkat 4.4.2 from Sammobile which also comes with LTE support. It worked for me.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHRH:
Nightmare. I really don't want to root this phone. I've rooted every other phone I've had, pretty much as soon I've bought it and although the custom ROMs I've used have been pretty good, there's always been something that has not worked quite well enough with the odd bug here and there. The stock 4.3 ROM seems to be perfect at the moment - no bugs and decent battery life. Hence my reluctance to root and flash anything else.

Surely there must be a way to get the OTA without rooting?

The only reason I bought this phone was for the 4G. I'm beginning to regret it. Other than the LTE support, I honestly haven't seen any serious differences to justify upgrading to the Note 3 from the Note 2, which is an amazing phone. I'm wondering if I might just cut my losses and sell the Note 3, if I can't use the 4G.

With an O2 sim in the phone, 4G is there but it disappears as soon as I try with my 3 sim.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
I have an Unbranded Note 3 -- I have a Three sim (which I have cancelled for now as signal is woeful, but 4G isn't on officially in York yet) and I switched to O2 -- who I have full 4G with even though it hasn't been announced yet here.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHRH:
I'm keen to stay with 3 as I've always had a pretty good signal in Manchester/Preston/Chorley area and more to the point the deal is the best I've found. PAYG 15 quid for totally unlimited internet, 300 mins and 3000 texts with the All in One 15 bundle. 4G unlimited data is included in that. It also means I'm not tied to any sort of contract.

From what I've seen O2 can't offer anything anywhere near that sort of value for money. The only thing I've seen is Giffgaff's Goodybags which look really good but I can't work out if 4G is included in the unlimited data part of it or not. There's nobody to speak to to check, other than the forum but to be honest it's difficult to find that info.

How much do you pay and what do you get with your O2 deal?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
My O2 deal is a 12 month 4G plan @ 21quid a month, I added an extra 5GB of data to mine for an extra fiver, so £26 total, isn't too bad as coverage indoors is just as good as outdoors, full 5 bar signal everywhere and I'm downloading at nearly 60meg which is astonishing for a mobile network imo Apparently O2 have upto 80ish in and around London/Leeds and the bigger cities, but I haven't seen it myself
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHRH:
Still £11 quid a month more than I "need" to pay, providing I can get the 4G to work on 3.

What do you reckon about Giffgaff? I've got a sim ready to move to. It uses the O2 network so will it just work in the same way as an O2 sim or not do you think?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
GiffGaff may as well call themselves O2 tbh -- had a brief 2/3 months on them myself but after the O2 outages that put me off and I went to Three, but ultimately I came back to O2
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHRH:
Really interesting you should say that. How easy was it to keep your number through each transition? Does the PAC code thing work smoothly coming back from GiffGaff to 3?

Oh, another thing - how come you didn't go back to GiffGaff as their tariffs are much cheaper but they're pretty much the same thing as O2?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
If PAYG it's 42 days I think for a number move (usually they do it in around 7 though) -- contract is 30 days from initial cancellation (my 1 month roller on Three was a breeze though, settled my final bill and was switched same day.)

EDIT: Giffgaff 4G is a few months away yet, guess I'm a sucker for technology lmao! -- Plus was easier for me to go back to a short term contract over PAYG due to travel needs etc
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHRH:
Fair enough. So actually, if I do go with GiffGaff, although it's using O2's network, I won't get to enjoy the 4G aspect that an O2 customer in my area would be using?

By the way - is this off-topic yet? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHRH:
That's a bit of a bugger. Selling it is becoming more and more likely. Why oh why was I so impulsive?! Ebay is an evil temptress.

I asked on the Three blog how the accounts were being activated as i have 2 one plan contracts under my name, one for me one for my son. My son has been receiving 4G for over a week now but no such luck for me.

The answer i got was that they are activating sims in batches by their IMSI number.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHRH:
So if that's the case then I might never get the update then. I may well be acting thick here but how would 3 know my IMEI number when I'm using an unlocked O2 handset? Do I need to ring them and specifically give them the number? Then again that would mean that anyone using a sim free handset would be in the same boat as me.

This is doing my head in. I just wish 3 knew their arses from their elbows. I get a different story from every single person I speak to, whether on the phone or on the blog. It's not funny anymore.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHRH:
Well. I've just been for a drive around my area, Swinton in Lancashire, to test O2's 4G and I've got some interesting data.

I did a 2 mile or so round trip and stopped every 200 metres or so. I compared 3's HSDPA (H+) signal with Tesco mobile's 4G speed in exactly the same spot each time. My Note 3 with the Tesco sim and my Note 2 with the 3 sim in.

The best 4G I got was 56.78 Mb/s download and 15.26 upload. The best H+ I got was with 3 and it was 14.58 Mb/s down and 3.39 Mb/s up. I have to point out though that the ridiculously high 4G speed from O2 was only in one spot. Generally it was between 10 and 25 Mb/s down and interestingly around 10 to 15 Mb/s up.

Interestingly, in the parts I couldn't get 4G, the H+ speed from 3 was generally about 2x faster than that of the Tesco/O2 sim.

So basically 3 is twice as fast as O2 in my area on H+ but O2's 4G is very impressive. Looking forward to seeing what 3 can offer in terms of 4G.

In the mean time, I'd say to those who are wondering whether it's worth switching to O2 while awaiting 4G from 3 - hang fire, if you switch to O2 then you'll find yourself suffering in those areas where there's no 4G signal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
My H+ speed on O2 is around 8meg or so average, (I get 2-3 bars 4G in certain parts of the house) -- It's very much area dependent for speeds I think - Both Three + O2-- Generally H+ for both is pretty good though
