Tmo sent a message to restart my N4 for better experience. Last time I restarted it was 12/19. My phone is running just fine!
This never happened to me. I used to restart my old phone almost every day. This made my day.
this is an alert u can turn off in my account app

It's a feature of their downloadable My Account/My Device app. It will deliver notifications when you reach your plan minutes, when your battery starts running low, and when it's been a long time since you rebooted. There's other stuff, all of which is disable-able Some of this stuff has been on that app for 3 years, back when you really did need to reboot on a weekly basis and not all phones delivered battery alerts.
Yeah I just turned it off on my sensation. That app is only good for telling you how many minutes you have left

This message comes from the My Account app for T-Mobile which I (and probably other people) use to keep track of minute, text, and data usage.
I also installed T-Mobile Visual Voicemail so I wouldn't waste minutes calling my voicemail.
Most carrier apps suck, but I find these two very useful

I'm the police, and I see it 50 times a week that someone gets their phone stolen and it sucks. I feel for you. My device is encrypted, Sim locked, and password protected and I have Cerberus on it. You can't be too careful, we have so many people getting robbed of iPhones we call it apple picking.
Cerberus is a must for any type of security on your phone. Google should buy it and make it standard.

That sucks I feel for you. But if the imei is now blocked they may end up turning it into lost and found so check there for a few days and now lesson learned and you will have backup software from now on I am sure.
Once again that sucks I hope you find it or when you sign into your new device accidently you backed up all your pics one day you had it and will get some back. Just wishful thinking

That sucks man. I'm sorry to hear it. I work out probably 6 days a week and always listen to music at a busy gym, I always use Bluetooth headset. Few times I left my nexus on a treadmill and didn't notice till my music became staticky as I've gotten far. I also always leave it by the courts when I run full court basketball, so do others. Crazy how mine hasn't been stolen yet. Knock on wood.

That´s not true.
The IMEI will be blocked by the AT&T and the N4 will no longer work with a sim card from AT&T network.
The problem is only one, the IMEI is going to be usable for other networks.
I guess Cerburus or any other anti-theft app will get wiped when flashing a factory image including user data.

I loved my note 2 but I was expecting note 3 to make me more happier, first the boot loader is locked which has already pissed me off. Then so many other issues google map voice was on s voice then it got fixed now WiFi is not working properly then as a business man I need my phone to ring whenever someone needs my service but when it is in my pocket for whatever reason it goes on silence mode and so many other things that is giving me enough reasons to sell it and buy note 2.
Just wanted to share my experience here. The phone is fast but I would still prefer note 2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
I thought about going back to a note 2 also when I fist got the ATT note 3. What you should really do is sell your ATT note 3 and buy yourself a T-Mobile note 3, then root, unlock using chain fires region unlock (3 bucks) throw your ATT sim in the tmo phone, change your APN's to ATT and flash what ever you want. This phone has been rock solid for me in every way since I switched to a tmo phone on ATT network.

I agree. When my Note 3 isn't being used, the battery depletes at just 1-2% per hour. That's stock/unrooted, nothing done about bloatware, WiFi and GPS enabled, no power-saving modes used.

I agree. Mine used to be that nice. I can not figure out what's going on. I've uninstalled just about everything..it seems to happen when my signal is weak but android os is strange way to report it. Plus my signal has always been weak at work but this android os/battery drain is only about a week old. It started when I rooted using kingo.
Something during that process or something they have hidden is killing my phone...I'm on m19 so not possible to return to stock.

You should try putting it in airplane mode for a while (when your not expecting any important calls or texts) and see if the drain remains. Or else unroot and do a factory reset.

Gsam, better battery stats, wakelock detector, carat. It seems to be when my signal is weak. I'm good right now but I'm on wifi/lte. When I get back to work..it drops.
Being on build m19 I was under the impression that I couldn't unroot and factory reset..I've read I couldn't return to stock. Maybe I'm mistaken.

You are so right bro, this would be a good lesson for me to wait little longer and not buy a phone which can not be optimized the way I like it.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
I have times when the battery drains faster than others and I'm pretty sure it's because the phone is switching between 3g and lte constantly while at work where the lte signal is weak. When I'm away from work battery drainage is just fine. Do you have a weak lte signal making the device constantly switch frequencies?

It seems to be working fine for me now. Must have been fixed on google's side.
I use hangouts for 8-10 hours per day constantly for work. During that time period I am signed in on my work laptop and for about 4 hours of that time, I am also signed in on my home laptop, and of course my phone is always signed in. The only times I ever miss notifications is when I am in very poor coverage with my phone AND I am actively using hangouts on one of my laptops. I experienced the same behavior on my S3, Incredible 2, and Eris. I have never not received a notification when I was not signed in to 2 or more devices in nearly 5 years of using gtalk/hangouts for 5 or more days per week.
