[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JoshuaFCB:
are the signal bars actually accurately reflect the signals strength? reason why i am asking is because i literally get 0 bars at home, yet data works and i can still surf the web and watch videos.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
those bars are not indication of strength (not all the time)

this is a very iffy conversation some will say yes some will say no. me personally when i have 1 or 0 bars i have a bad connection with data/voice. when i have max bars there is no issue whatsoever. but you need to look at the dBm meter that is more accurate. and just self observation of itself it may vary in the place you are too. in my house with 1 bar on LTE I get 20Mb/s Down 5Mb/s Up. And at work I have 3 Bars and only reach 10Mb/s Down and 2MB/s Up. however my voice coverage wherever I been has been spot on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
I have one bar at home, just did the speed test: 16Mb down, 6Mb up. If you dial *#0011# you'll see your RSRP exactly (reference signal receiving power), mine shows about -105.

If calibration was done properly it should be something like this:

0 bar - 0- 20%

1 bar 20-40

2 bar 40-60

3 bar 60-80

4 bar 80-100%

So even at 0 bars you could have OK reception.

But there is more to it, you can have strong signal, but also strong interference and a lot of other users could jam up otherwise strong connection.

To be honest I'd much rather have zero bars and still connecting, than phone lying to me that I have good signal and not able to connect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
I have one bar at home also, which is about -110db for me. Speed test shows 5 down and 2.4 up then went into network communications issues.

Alright, the majority of us here on xda are root users, and I'm sure we all use or have used AdAway to remove ads from our apps. Well lately AdAway hasn't been working for me at all. I go in to it, grant root, download and apply, reboot, then whenever I open up an app to test it, there are ads everywhere! Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I use crossbreader that blocks most ads internally, but I know adaway works by using host sources to apply patches. It's possible some of the initial lists included with the download are down. What I would do is use Google and try to find additional sources, and add those paths to the settings. That might improve it.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I own it, but I didn't review it like I normally do. Not sure why. The case is a very good case for a 20 dollar case. It's basically a bugdroid tpu hot glued into a wallet case. It's a bit bulky, but the majority of that is the tpu case itself. The case is a smart case and the clasp is nice and strong. However the clasp is a bit of annoyance to me because it sits awkwardly on my wireless chargers. The best qi charger I have to use it with is the Tylt Vu because it can accommodate landscape charging. The orb barely holds on and it just sits crooked because of the clasp. I'll sell it to you if you want. I have the whitish/black version. :)

From this wallet case, I went onto the Rock Slim Elegant case. VERY thin. Think of it as the Poetic Palette with a flip attached to it via hinge. Very slim compared to the Cruzerlite, but not as much overall protection. Plus the front flap doesn't stay closed, but I have it in my pocket anyway. Needless to say it works with wireless charging like a champ. However, not a smart case. No magnets on this case. I would say this would be the minimalist flip case. No card pockets here.

And then I found what I initially thought was the perfect slim wallet type case; the Seidio Ledger. I have come across an issue with what Seidio calls the soft touch on the case that holds the phone. While it feels like pure butter in your hand, my two cases resulted in the soft touch material rubbing off on various parts of the case. I have been working with Seidio for the past week and seeing if there is a fix for it. So the jury is out on it. I love it, it has a cut out for the LED, no other flip case I know of has this, the kickstand, not needed but nice to have, has a smart cover and the metal kickstand is not THAT obtrusive when placing in my various wireless qi chargers. I have the Tylt Vu, Nexus Wireless charger and the Nexus orb charger.

Charger maybe, but most on here get a new factory cabel and that takes care of it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
Many similar thread already here & also the solutions.

But let me answer anyway.

Charging problem occurs because of one or more things:

Broken Cable

Broken Charger

Incompatible Cable

Incompatible Charger

Broken Outlet

Broken Charging Port

Broken Battery

To properly charging a N80XX we need a charger & cable that can deliver 2.1A, 5V of electrical current & voltage.

The factory default/initial charger & cable designed to deliver these requirements.

Using custom/cheap cable or cable extension can cause charging problem as it wasn't designed to deliver the required current & voltage.

Most custom cables & chargers on the market designed only to deliver 500mA(0.5A) - 1A, 5V.

Broken cable/charger can also cause it to fail in delivering 2.1A, 5V to the device.

Try another original cable/charger combination to test if one of them or both are broken.

Also try another electrical wall outlet to see if the outlet is the culprit.

For Broken Charging Port, you can change it yourself by buying the spare part & replace the broken one, but it requires high technical skills.

One mistake can cause you to ditch your device.

It's safer if you send it to a qualified/authorized service center or if it's still under warranty you can send it back to samsung.

The last possibility is extremely rare.

Broken Battery symptoms are usually different than your problem symptoms.

If the battery is broken, usually the battery life is shorter than usual and may be won't charge at all or charging time is very short.

But if this is your problem, you can't sent it back to samsung - unless the battery is factory damaged -, as you need to change the internal battery.

Try to find out which one is your real problem & fix it

REMINDER:

2.1A is producing heat so much that hurt your skin if you touch the metal part of the cable heads directly right after a long period of charging.

The heat it produce is much more intense than if you are using 500mA or 1A charger.

Poorly designed custom cable/charger can be melted by the heat & may cause explosion!!

...and.....ALWAYS SEARCH BEFORE ASKING!!

I hope this will help :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esgie:
I'd like to add that I was facing similar problem.

In my case, the problem was a stock charger cable.

It was not "broken" (in the meaning of totally cracked or cut cable) but it seemed that it isn't providing a stable voltage. In result, I was able to load the battery only when not using the device (plus the process was as slow as hell), coz when using it, the consumed power was higher than provided by the charger.

Meanwhile, before the problem occured, I was testing other solutions to be able to make charging cord longer than provided stock, which is only 1m. Those tests included using of the additional 2m USB-USB expansion cable which I was plugging to the plastic charger element from the one side and to the regular charging cable at the second side. Such a combination resulted in similiar results as above - then, it became obvious for me that the tablet consumes or wants to consume so high power that low-quality USB cable can't handle, and - especially if it is 2m long - it's degrading onto his way to the tablet.

Then, I am not sure if n8000, by demanding so much power, is not degrading the cable (even stock one) itself. I must say, that after that, I was using another charger cables (n8000 dedicated, one 2m second one 1.5m, both not original) which started to work significantly worse in even shorter time such as two weeks after first use. I am not a electrician or hardware specialist, I dunno if it is possible to degenerate the usb cable with the voltage such as one needed for charging the tablet, but during my over 10 years of passion within mobile devices, I have killed no more than 2 chargers IN TOTAL. N8000 killed 3 charging cables within 8 months.

For some time, I use another combination - I use a 1,5 long A/C extension cord, with a handy "8" plug at the second end. This fits into the charger "central box" after you dissolve it into two parts. Now, the voltage will not degenerate onto this 1.5m distance, as the cable of that type was designed particularly for 230V transfers, but it will still be perfectly mobile. At the second side of the box, I do not plug back the 1m stock cable (or longer not-official ones), but a cable that the Samsung provided along with an external battery, which is possible to buy here and there... It is about... 20 cm long :) The purpose of this was to avoid the energy lossess that occured when using longer cables and preserve the maximum possible charging rate. Since then (and about 5 months has passed) I have no further problems with charging, and the battery life seems to be much more better than I supposed it to be after over a year of really extensive usage (the only issue of above solution is that the plastic box in the middle is making really really hot, but it is not a critical problem i suppose, as since 5 months it HASN'T melted, exploded or something :) )
