I would just like to see if some people have same issue at times.
*screen can be over sensitive at times
*when wifi is connected icon in notification bar floating with empty 4G icon
*new texts do not show up north finding them in stock message app marked read when they were not.
*(fix) wifi would be off but would prompt meningitis notification found open kwidow connection.
I disabled the att smart wifi app in settings, rebooted and that seemed to fix the problem for me
Post any more findings

Well only thing that bugs me is that when ever it connects with att hotspot and then i try to connect back to my home wifi it doesnt work that good coz for some reason it prefers att hotspot more that my home wifi!! I had to disable the att hotspot feature since i cant delete it!!

Just noticed there's no apps to SD option either... Downloaded Spiderman & Dark Knight Rises, and now I'm outta space... Can't wait for root...

This was a feature taken out in ICS sadly
My wifi randomly turns off when i try connecting to a new network (goes from obtaining IP address to wifi turning off)

i dont like this either because every other phone ive had that hides 3g 4g the wifi goes in the place of it but thats the only thing so far ive found that i dont like
2 from me,
1. Battery life is tough. I must have this phone charging whenever I am at my desk or It will be dead by 8pm. I would consider myself to be a power user. I'm coming from an Atrix 2 and would make it through the day with only charging in the car dock.
2. No true gps toggle. I use the toggle switchs all the time, all others work but GPS.
Otherwise I love the phone it's very quick and I'm loving ICS

Disable att smart wifi thing, your problem will go away.

The only problem I've had was with the screen sensitivity. It's no longer a problem. I fixed it with a Moshi Screen protector.
It's thick enough to balance out the touch screen and it covers up all the Logos on the phone.
Juice Defender can also cause wacky wifi performance issues. You can adjust the custom settings in Juice Defender to leave wifi alone.
Smart Actions hasn't caused any problems with waking up any of the radios or wifi.
Wifi works best if you disable anything that has to do with automatically connecting.
When you connect to your wireless point, just click "remember" when it asks you to save settings. That way it should connect/reconnect faster when you are within range because it's not scanning. It'll just connect.
Anyways, from a security stand point you do not want it to automatically connect to any open network. Wireless SSID can be spoofed with a name change, and connecting to open networks is asking for someone to record your activity, or even launch SSL strip to fish out information on the secure sites you visit. Packet sniffing at a Starbucks free WiFi is easier than using 'One-Click-Root.'
So just avoid open networks and disable anything to do with auto connecting. It'll speed up waking up WiFi and it'll make you much more secure.
If you still have wifi issues just toggle airplane mode on and off.

I'm occasionally bugged with Smart Actions when it forgets to turn something on/off after leaving that profile.
Another problem i'm having the that the bedside dock app keeps crashing when i connect my MAHD to my desk dock, only fix i found so far was restart phone...
bump. has no one else had their bed dock crash and not start up again? I want to know if i should start looking for an app gone astray or something otherwise x.x
No...

There's 8GB of space; how did 2 apps fill that? Go into setting>Storage and see what's really eating up your internal storage. I found that the camera by default saves pics/vids to the SDCard and I would bet that's what's killing your space. If so you can change the setting in the camera app and use the "Manage Internal Storage" to move over pics/vids that are currently on internal storage.
I've not had any wifi issues.
Having had this only 2 days, the only problem I've noticed is that there is noise when listening to music. Specifically using the standard Apple earphones and listening to Pandora. I also tried some other cheapo earphones and the same thing. I tried both earphones on my old 3g ipod and it was crystal clear. But this is really a nit-picky thing and I can only hear it on the lowest volume setting.
I get this notification asking for what keyboard input I want to use sometimes when I have the keyboard opened. I click it and it asks me what keyboard input I want to use. I have never installed any other keyboards and this has been happening ever since I got my phone a few days aho

I am living in a university hostel with only ethernet connection so I decided to use Connectify to create a hotspot for my Note. However, my wifi connection always drops off when I watch videos from the YouTube app. Every other apps works perfectly except the YouTube app. I got no problem with other wifi though.
I'm running stock 4.0.4, not rooted or anything. Tried clearing the app data as well.
Any help?

can anyone help me with wifi problems i am having?
my phone will connect to my home network and show connected however it seems that data does not load. I cannot load web pages often.
or when it does work it will cut out after a few minutes.
its pretty annoying as my service isnt the best in my house and if i want to watch youtube etc. wifi is obviously faster.
please help

What is the rom that you use? Did you do clean flash? Did you flash any kernel? Did you try to forget the network and reconnect again? More information is needed.

i'm using the stock ROM but i did unlock and root. i am using a asus RT-N56U with WPA2 personal AES encryption for security. Phone set for best wifi performance, wi-fi band on auto, keep wi-fi on during sleep.
I can connect and it will work usually especially if i turn off wifi then turn it back on. However, the problem exists that the length of time the connection will remain with the ability for loading webpages/video is unknown. It could be 2-5 minutes, but i've also tested it and its been able to hold a connection while constantly streaming a netflix movie.
I'm wondering if it could be resolved by setting my phone to connect to my home network via a static ip? seen things related to that elsewhere. It is very annoying and troublesome to have to constantly turn on/off the wifi when im sitting in the same place. I could be reading a webpage then click a link on it and then it will fail to load even though showing i am connected. Then i have to switch on and off. This has happened plenty of times within 30 minutes i've had to turn it on and off 3-4 times. To me that is not "functional".
is it something with my phone or router? or both?

you definitely shouldnt have to connect with a static. it may help but what about when u r in public do you still have the problem?? if not then maybe u should try a new home networking device or play around with the security setting on ur router.
my wifi seems to work fine other than my speedtest results are only 3mbps up. i should be getting as much as 55, i used to get up to 40 on my gs3. i am totally stock, with the same settings.

Do you have sleep mode turned on, in settings, power? Or power saver?

Maybe try unplugging both your modem and router for 10 seconds and then plug them back in.

I setup my new Nexus 7 last night and I noticed my ChromeCast broadcasting as a WiFi hotspot. I thought this only happens on initial setup. Any ideas why it keeps this on? Could this lead to a security issue? Since the CC doesnt authenticate your device (phone/tablet/computer), it seems like someone can control whats displayed on your CC.
Running the wifi analyzer app, I did not see any of my chromecasts broadcasting after setup.

I just noticed that same thing tonight. I was actually able to get my phone to connect to it as WIFI spot???? Came here to look for this problem so far this all that I have seen. This evening what I found after a problem with my wifi uverse box I did a system reboot and the chromecast showed as a open connection it disappeared after a couple minutes but I was still able to grab and get a signal with my phone????? Very interesting I must say.
On second thought, it seems to periodically broadcast its own ssid. Not constantly, though.

Anyone has any issues connecting to the chromecast? My Note 3, not rooted or modified in any way, cannot connect stably to the chromecast dongle. They are on the same wifi, with at least 3 signal bars on both devices. However every time I try to play from YouTube or Netflix I get this constant connect - disconnect until the app crashes. On the TV I see the dongle start connecting to the stream then dropping it when Note disconnects then restarting the stream from beginning when Note reconnects.
Anyone has any ideas? Apps work fine otherwise and dongle works fine with my laptop and the old Note 2.
Thanks

Seems that I have fixed it myself. At least it is working for now.
I was reading the thread on Note 3 WiFi issues in this forum and someone there offered improvement for that problem. I have not noticed any WiFi issues on my phone but decided to do so anyway. Well, apparently that fixed my chromecast connection.

I had that one off already. Wasn't working. Only turning off power management fixed it. However, it substantially worse on the battery life. I've lost 3-5 hours of the battery.
