Yea.. it's fine the way it is if it's working for you. Just a heads up to all, T-Mobile will be investigating abuse of tethering and also throttle Peer 2 peer use while tethering in the immediate future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Han Solo 1:
The APN stuff didn't work for me. Trying the flashing fix thing again.

I don't do much tethering anyway, maybe an extra gig a month, if that.

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

Flashing the fix worked this time, thanks.

I also left the APN settings on IPv4, although I don't know if it made any difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] -illest-:
Recently broke my s3 and got a note 3. Ive been searching for a simple rom with just the right amount of customization and this is definitely it. Not overly modded and shoved with stuff. Thanks effortless! This is exactly how i like my roms. Nice and clean. Hope you keep working on this man. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AviatorBimmer:
Hey buddy, just to follow up, changing the APN Protocol to IPv4 made the trick. My tethering is working fine with voLTE enabled. I did not have to do the APN Types tweaks you mentioned.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Megaflop666:
Appy geek just released a report about a tmobile memo talking about the throttling. They're saying they're going to give people a warning and then throttle them back if they don't quit abusing it.

Way cool. Glad it's working.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AviatorBimmer:
I've gotten a couple of them and my work around is to go to the PlayStore and manually/force the installation. For instance, I was trying to reinstall Chrome Beta and I was getting the dreaded 403 error. When I searched it on Google Play via my desktop PC's browser, I noticed it was coming up as installed, even though it wasn't. I simply clicked the INSTALLED button and got it to force install it on my phone once again. I hope this works for you.

Hey everyone. I'm new here to Tmo just made the switch from Big Red. I'm using my VZW N3 running effortless 7.1 just so I can keep cost down for now. My question is does wifi calling work on the Tmo branded phones. I had wifi calling for a short time then it just stopped. I do have a few bugs which I can get worked out but that's expected. Thanks for any feed back and I can't wait to contribute to this thread.

There's several apps I've read about in the app store that fix that. I believe one was faster gps or something like that. They update your gps.conf file.

Have you tried editing the gps.conf file? Change you lpp profile to "1" also try "3" and see if that helps.

Does restoring a back up also restore the kernel you had when you backed up, or is that separate from the back up process?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Megaflop666:
Yes, it restores everything you backed up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Hondrongo:
Ok, awesome. Thought so but was not 100% sure. Had problems on ultimate kernel, so needed to restore to see if problem is kernel related.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
The stock NF4 kernel is also availble in the original post to flash if you need to revert from custom kernel.

I would try aurora kernel 11v2...it's ne6 based but, absolutely no issues for months... He is working on nf4 update also...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] youngchris29:
Loving this rom. Its been running great with no issues. Been getting good battery life also with this rom and lean kernel 3.5.1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] joesee:
Hondrongo, thank you for posting this!! I'm really happy to finally have tethering work!

I have a question though, hoping anyone can reply. I'm confused at what the unlimited tethering bypass feature the creator of this ROM Effortless is intended for. I have an unlimited everything plan with T-Mo that includes the 5GB hotspot feature. When the ROM creator added this feature, was it for users who don't have the hotspot feature on their account, OR does this effect how the phone appears on T-Mobile's side of things to make it look like all data is going to the phone? Obviously the advantage to that is being able to tether beyond the 5GB limit.

Reason why I'm asking is because I always thought the APN you use determines how T-Mobile sees how you're accessing the Internet. I travel a lot and end up watching Netflix and Plex from my home and easily hit my 5GB limit and have to use my Note the rest of the month for watching tv/movies. A real bummer.

To clarify more, even if I'm using either APN, I can still "Request Desktop Site" in Chrome on my Note3 and really curious how T-Mobile sees this?

Thanks again for your help! Real asset to XDA!!!!!

Camera

I tried turning on location in the camera settings and now the camera keeps force closing. Does anyone knew how to reset the camera? I tried flashing Rev 7.1, since I was on 7.0 at the time but that didn't help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
You can also disable location tagging in the settings under location. It shouldn't cause crashes enabled.. disable it and see if it still crashes.

Hi all,

I'm having an issue when I switch my sound from vibrate/silent to normal - for some reason the default samsung ringtone is always looping. Has anyone seen this before? I am on the current version of the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Hondrongo:
Could not duplicate, sorry. No idea.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ctscloud:
It's okay. I ended up reflashing the ROM :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sfsilicon:
How long do I need to wait after first install of the ROM? I waited 10m and the phone seemed to be caught in a boot loop with the Samsung logo showing. I followed the instructions here and installed stock NF1 via ODIN, then CF root and TWRP. Did the wipe and factory reset before installing. I'm not sure if the ROM installed correctly or not, the install routine said it but didn't seem to complete the progress bar. Also downloaded the ROM 2x from the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Megaflop666:
I've seen it take up to 15 minutes. If your led light at the top is still on, it's still loading, if it shuts off and your screen brightness doesn't fade down after about 15 minutes, flash it again

ROM works great but I am having sudden random dropped mobile signal. Been experiencing this issue since doing the 4.4.2 OTA. Updating to baseband NF4 and installing Effortless ROM hasn't helped with the random dropped signals. Anyone find a solution to this, as I've heard this has been a common issue after doing the 4.4.2 OTA.

Hello. I'd Like To Ask If Anyone Knows How To Change The Charging Animation From The Note 3 To The One That The S5 Uses? Thank You In Advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ms. K:
My kernel is different. But it is V7. Do I need to re-do it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ms. K:
Here is my build. Sorry for the second note. Did not attach at 1st.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sfsilicon:
The LED turned on after install/reboot out of TWRP. Then it turned off pretty quickly. Now it is seems to be in the same boot loop as before. I have the white SAMSUNG logo with stars drifting away from it and for time to time the logo will flash (start of the loop?) and the menu and back button LEDs will light up for a while then turn off.

I'm giving it till 15m just to be sure, but I also tried another ROM and it also went into a boot loop.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I've been using Odin to flash the Full Stock Image N900TUVUDNF4 and confirmed with Phone INFO Samsung to confirm that Bootloader, Baseband, PDA and CSC say NF4. Just to confirm, I should wipe all partitions except of internal and external SD, then do a factory wipe before installing. The installation is pretty quick right, few minutes ~2-5m, much shorter than the 15m for the 1st boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Megaflop666:
Idk what you may be doing wrong. Did you say it boots fine after nf4 update? If it won't recover from bootloop, go into recovery, clear, wipe, factory reset three times and try another ROM flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
You might have to wipe your internal storage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sfsilicon:
Thanks, I'll try that.

At one point I had Jedi w/ Sabre Kernel installed. I tried to install the NB4 based ROM an NF1 base and got a similar boot loop. Is there a way to do a full wipe and fix permission or does this happen when I do an ODIN install of stock? I think I have not been able to install a custom ROM since doing the above.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

Yes, boots NF4 fine and I can install CF root and TWRP. Will also try the clear, wipe, factor reset 3x. Will try Effortless and other ROM if needed. BTW, I tried fix permissions after a full wipe and got the "failed" message.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
When you wipe system in recovery and Odin stock, it takes care of permissions. You can also fix permissions in the options of TWRP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Use the EffortLess guide (linked in Original Post) to update to stock NF4 baseband, bootloader etc.

You might have to run triangle away before flashing if it doesn't update your baseband after running full NF4 stock. All the instructions are in that thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sfsilicon:
Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jackk:
Haha went back to stock and immediately got notification for update for baseband NF9. Did the update and so far so good on the sudden random dropped signal issues. Now does the Rooting NF4 (CF-Auto-Root) still apply or does it need to be updated?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Vegasden:
I'm assuming NF9 is a typo?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jackk:
Not a typo. Baseband version N900TUVUDNF9
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Vegasden:
Well, that's a new one (to me anyway). It's not even listed on SamMobile. I wonder what was updated?

Wi-Fi List?

Hello, good sirs and madams!

Loving this ROM, and the fact that I have an updated baseband. My baseband is still being inconsistent with its data connections, but that's not the point.

I'm having an issue with my Wi-Fi. It will happily connect and shuffle zeroes and ones at 2.4GHz, but it won't show a wi-fi network list. It'll connect if I add an SSID by hand, but that's not always practical. I'm running the latest Effortless revision, T-Mo Note 3 with NF4 firmware. This happened with both the stock kernel, and ColnelX-22. It'll notify me that open wifi networks are available, but the list is ALWAYS empty, except the networks I've added by hand.

Does anyone know how to get my phone to show a list of wifi networks?

Thanks!

Joey

Adlai having trouble with the phone being super unresponsive. Of course I did a full wipe prior to installing. Any ideas how I can see what's holding up the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
If you're using a custom kernel, try with the stock kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Medic97:
Using the Kernel you included in the rom, didn't change anything.

When I install this the gapps doesn't go through. Playstore, MAPS, etc. Also, I am missing all the T-Mobile apps. The phone seems to be functioning properly but don't think it's fully installing as it's missing so much stuff.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
T-mobile apps were purposely removed. The important ones can be found in the Play Store (I included links to the visual voice mail and the account app in the original post).

The Google apps are in a folder now. You should see the Playstore etc. There is no need to flash gapps with this as they're included by T-mobile and they weren't removed.

Hold the menu button down to search and type "play store", it should come up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jackk:
Thanks. How do you bring the Playstore icon to the desktop or app menu?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] partzman2:
You have to be careful with the T-Mobile account app, Tech Support can use it to explore your phone, determine if it is rooted and what ROM you're running. Shocked me on Tech support call when the rep told me that my phone was running Wicked ROM and rooted.I hurriedly ODIN'd back to stock and called back and got lucky with a rep who "read" my phone again and verified stock, kept warranty.

Word of Advice: Be very careful with the T-Mobile Account app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EasyE75:
Yeah even though the app says that it will not share any information gathered with tmobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sidneyk:
Sorry if it's been mentioned already but after looking back several pages I couldn't find anything. I just got around to flashing REV7.1, following the guide, ODINing the stock nf4 first, but when I go to settings and and choose Access Point Names from Mobile Networks, after having selected T-Mobile as the network operator, all I get is a blank, black page, no info at all. I reflashed the 7.1 ROM again after wiping only caches and system this time, but still no good. I don't think this is expected behaviour.

[EDIT 9/6/14] I got it fixed now. I wound up downloading the stock firmware again directly from Sammobile site (even though the one I downloaded from the guide page link had the correct md5) and doing a factory reset before going back through the guide and doing the Odin steps for flashing, root, recovery, then wiping all except MicroSD, in case anything on internal storage was interfering and reflashing version 7.1. APNs now show up. Will see if they remain after apps finish restoring again.
