WiFi persistent problem - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on the Verizon "eclipse ROM" on my ATT note 3. I never had WiFi problems except for when first flashing and having to reenter my WiFi password every time I restarted. There was an easy fix for that. Recently I noticed my WiFi messing up and acting irregular. For the most part it works fine. Here's a pic

Try this Download and Install BuildProp Editor app from Play Store then change the line “ro.securestorage.support” value from “true” to “false” then reboot. Hope it helps..

Thanks for the reply. But that wasnt problem. It was my WiFi timing out. A simple battery pull fixed it right up lol.

Tethering on Tmobile

How are you guys doing it?
Root the phone. Download sqlite. Look for a file called settings storage. The correct one has a symbol looks like tools. Select the sub file. Go down and edit the line that says entitlement check. Change the value from 1 to disabled. Save and reboot. Enjoy making a wifi hotspot.

any sqlite app will work. its like the file manager apps that allow you to see the root files and the ones that normal file managers won't let you see. any one will work.
which sqlite to download
thanks for getting back with me. and honestly this is fast. i appreciate it. i must admit that i finally found the file but it was in a excel type of format and i couldn't change anything. im going to try another one and see if the paid ones make a difference.

ok. i got it! rihgt before i paid for 1 i tried (SQLite Editor Pro Free 3.0) by HT SOFT. i clicked on SUPERUSER and noticed sqlite was blocked! so i deleted it out of the blocked setting log and then exited superuser. clicked back on sqlite and there was the screen asking which permission to grant, 1 minute 10 minutes or forever. i clicked forever. (questionable) then i went right to the file and was able to edit it.. thanks again. i appreciate the smart guys helping the, well, not so understanding guys! lol...

Rooted & Change entitlement no internet
Help please!? I have rooted my Atrix HD, changed the entitlement to disabled thru sqlite and I can now mobile hotspot which was not working before....but....I can connect devices to the phone but each one states "limited or no internet" yet the phone has full 4g internet (cuz I can surf with it while mobile hotspot is on) but NONE of the devices can surf. I have changed the ssid and the passwords and have tried the open protocol as well as the wpa-psk options and still no surf on any device....
Please help...been trying to mobile hotspot with this phone every since I upgraded from the Atrix 4G which I loved.
Thanks

Most ROMs have tethering built-in, so you could go that route.

New Update is here! Here is how to force pull an OTA update

go to settings, more, application manager, all, and clear data, then stop services for google services framework....then go into system update and update samsung software...... you may have to do that up to 10x with a few restarts in between
also you need to at least have 35% battery
works everytime for me!
if you notice after you clear data and go to system update, it shows that it last checked i 1969......this somehow resets the que and puts you in front of the line
Although this update fixed my red hues during black backgrounds, it added the purple blur/smearing thing when scrolling though quickly...at least we know its a software problem and not hardware
Ok...
I'm going to put this here as I did in the 2 other ota threads.. would someone please grab a log of the link (or grab the download prior to try to install) if they are getting propmted so we can get this to look at?
A bunch of people talking about it, no one trying to get it?
Not sure how. I would be happy to grab the download and get it to someone.

Depends on how people are getting the prompt.. Within the other thread, one of the three anyway, there was this post by a rooted user that had the fail..
This would be ideal because it should have been sitting in /cache (as we've seen on other devices) and it could simply have been pulled.
The only other option (and it will probably not be successful without root but worth a try) would be getting a logcat (running log during process), then forcing the prompt by clearing framework in hopes of catching the download link when the prompt arrives and tapping it. Pull log, inpect it for link and go and get it manually.

By clearing all data in 'Google Services Framework' will this delete any of your contacts, settings, etc.?

As soon as I turned off developer options, cleared framework data and forced closed it worked. Thank you!
Do we still yet to have a change log? Hoping for some speed improvements, if even small!

Another possible method of grabbing files on a non rooted phone is airdroid app. Connect with PC, choose files folder. By default it will go to the SD card but you can back up and get to the phone's system files after a warning screen. If the theory works, just start poking around the file system until you find the update and download it to the computer. You can't edit anything with airdroid but you can grab files at least if you're not rooted. I've never tried this but did see it show the phone's internal files when trying to get to external storage when the default go to folder was internal storage.
Got my update, turned off dev mode, force stopped google services framework, and cleared data.
So much smoother

[Q] CM10.1 Nightlies My Phone Number Won't Save

I just installed the new "official" CM10.1 nightlies and everything is working great. The only thing that I've noticed is that in Settings > Status my phone number is "Unknown". When I go into Phone>Settings>Additional Settings>My Phone Number, I can set my number and it works fine. BUT, it won't survive a reboot. It just goes back to unknown after it's rebooted.
Having the number set in phone status allows group messaging to work so I would like to know, is there any ways to get these settings to save? Do I need to go to At&t and have them set the number on the SIM?
I tried to download "My Phone Number" in the Play store and I get the error "Application cannot be installed in the default install location."
Thanks!
I can confirm that I have it as unknown as well. My VM number was missing too that I entered manually but this is weird. Hope it gets resolved in the next update. I love how snappy the phone is though

Same here, but I can live with that for now. I tried quite a few of the other ROM,s , but they tended to have little glitches... this has been quite good so far.

Yeah this one has been great, only a few little glitches. I just want to get group messaging to work and everything will be perfect and I won't have to use stupid Go SMS or one of those ugly messaging apps. Really all I need is to get setting that my phone number setting to save.
So I think I actually fixed this! My number is being displayed after a couple reboots and the group messaging option is there in messaging settings.
This is what I did:
First you gotta install this Xposed framework apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Then just hit install/update then reboot.
Now install this Xposed mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106490
Install it, then go back into the xposed framework app, go to the modules tab, and check off the SIM number changer then go back and reboot.
When rebooted, go back into the app and tap the SIM number changer to change your number. Obviously I put my number down, I'm not sure how risky it is putting any other number in there. Now tap change it, then go to reboot again.
I have rebooted a few times and my number is still there under 'My Phone Number' in Phone Status. Try it out if you're having the same problems.

Watch on in notification bar

Ok this is driving me crazy, randomly the app watch on will pop up in my notification bar. I disable it and it will just pop up again at a random time. Does anyone know how to permanently remove? besides freezing it of course

This just started happening to me the other day. I don't understand why because it hasn't done it before. I too disabled the notification and it automatically turns itself back on. I cleared the data and started over but that did not help. I froze the app with tbu a little bit ago because I rarely use it. It is frustrating because that is one of the only Samsung apps that I like. I too would like to know of a fix for it.

holllly cow. I have been battling this for 3 days now. I thought it was just my phone being supper glitchy. I have gone as far as to uninstall the app... witch will stop it from comming up in the notification bar. Then i re download it from play store. After about 4 reboots it comes back. I will set it in the setting to not come on in notification pannel. Boom its back. No way to stop it..... same with a few other apps. Its like they do not close the correct way and do not save the settings. My swannview dvr app is one more that wont save settings because it won't close correctly.
I don't know if this narrows it down but I noticed when I had wifi turned off I never got it but the second I turned it back on it started popping up again.
I have the same problem. This morning, while trying to disable the notification bar setting again, I got nag popup about allowing Watchon to use mobile data or only wifi. I selected the allow mobile data option and do not ask me again. Now, I can't find the setting to change it back to see if that would affect the notification bar problem. I don't want to test all of the settings because I would lose the devices that I have setup. I assume the problem is caused by an update to Watchon. The only thing I have changed recently us switching to Nova Launcher. Could this be related?

Judging by this I would assume it is the location settings that is triggering this. Try to go to system settings > More > Location services > My places > Choose the places and click none. I can't confirm this works, but it seems that this is triggering for the problem. Also note this isn't a great solution; other location services may be affected with this change.
This is caused by the latest WatchOn update.
I use WatchOn since the day I get my S4 Active (2 months ago) and this NEVER HAPPENED before the update.
I had to disable WatchOn with TB.
Another example of Samsung messing up good stuff!

It has nothing to do with location services. All of mine were already set to none, and I have the same problem.

Sorry then, it must have been the WatchON lock screen location settings I was thinking of. No clue, honestly.
So did this ever get worked out? I just got the note 3 and am already seeing this behavior.
SOLUTION!..
Here is how i disabled remote control on notification panel and lock screen.
Its on Watchon Settings.
watch work done
This is what I did:
Settings
More
Application Manger
Samsung WatchOn
Remove the check for "Show Notifications"
This doesn't stop the program from starting on powerup, but it removes it from the notifications.
This is a thread that should be closed. The problem was fixed by an update. I can confirm that it did exist at one time, but the only people that still have thre problem either have not updated or they have not changed their settings.

tethering problem on sprint?

I've done the build.prop edit needed to get the tethering to work, but when i turn on the hotspot i'm able to connect to it with several devices like Ipad, s4, and laptop but they don't have internet access. is there something else i have to do in order to get it working? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
You have to edit a database entry as well. Search the forums. Youll need sqlite editor from play store.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/sprint-nexus-6-wifi-tethering-root-t2949024
Yeah i just tried that as well bought the sqlite editor and still nothing...
any more suggestions?
Try adding one, reboot then other. I had issues getting it to wotk. Double check the entries are correct (no caps) and just try again. It does work.
I got it to work but had to factory reset and then it worked fine
