First of all this is my first post on this site after using it for 2 years to root and mod many phones. The att note 3 has just been grinding my gears. I owned the note 2 and loved it.
My problems are these:
Reception is horrible. Wife sits next to me and gets more bars and is on lte more often than me.
Phone constantly glitches on the web/chrome even apps.
I hate how the browser address bar stays in screen when I read a lot like these forums.
Phone is past warranty so some help rooting this phone with out a computer would be of major help.
I would love to play the sim city game that runs on 10.1 I just need help identifying where to get a proper build for this phone without all the extra garbage att packs on the phone.
Does anyone know what the 5 pins are for under the battery cover?
And what rom could I put on the phone that would keep it stuck in landscape?

Congratulations on your first post! Sorry your gears are getting grinded. Lets see if we can solve some problems.
First you complain about reception. Do you have any kind of case on the phone? This can cause signal issues. If not you might have a hardware or software issue. You can try a factory data reset to see if it's software. If problem still persists swap it out at the store if it's under warranty still. If not you can send to Samsung for repairs.
You also complain about glitching. Can you explain a little more please? I don't see how web pages glitch. Do they load slow or something??
Thirdly just disable the brower bar in application settings.
The 4th question rooting without a computer. That's not going to happen anytime soon. You must use a pc to root at this time. Sorry! I recommend kingo to root.
For sim city help me out a little. Is there a specific version? Did you try looking in the playstore? Not all of us know what sim city on 10.1 is. I'm assuming you mean cyanagenmod 10.1 but that still isn't enough info.
The 5 pins on the back are device extensions. The 3 that go top to bottom are for wireless charging. The other 2 that go left to right I'm uncertain. I think they are NFC contacts. When using a wireless charging system it can interfere with our nfc batteries. Therefore the nfc needs to be moved into the case. The s view wireless charging case utilizes all 5 of these contacts.
To get your phone stuck in landscape mode, just install a new home launcher. You don't even need to be rooted. For example I love apex home and under behavior settings you can select the default orientation.
my note 3 is ever in boot loop no modding. do i a total wipe and reflash with odin ?
Thanks lol didnt realize how vague my post was.
Past warranty, no case, and reset x5.
Chrome and the regular web browser hangs on a blank screen or the last page it was on. Only the browsers do this. The 4g will be working fine then all of a sudden it hangs. Ive read some forums where people are getting far lower reception where they used to get great reception.
Disabled browser bar within a minute of purchasing phone.
From what i have read only users with android 10.1 can view the simcity in playstore. If you find the playstore link with google it will take you to correct page but gives you the incompatabily error. If there was a way to fool playstore in what device i am that would be awesome.
So what were the note 2 pins for??? I could have sworn they were wifi. The wifi would always loose signal when the cover was removed.
I will try out apex right now ultimate rotation control left my phone a mess even after uninstalling and rebooting

Tmobile has the 900t

And there's even more!
Had a situation last night, wanted to know if anyone else had experienced it.
I had a Note 4 on Verizon, when I got my Nexus 6 I just cut the sim card and put it into my nexus 6, no problem. I haven't sold my Note 4 yet but plan on it, so last night I factory reset the Note 4 to sell it. As soon as the Note 4 factory reset/rebooted, my Verizon service stopped working. Couldn't make calls, send texts or use data (wifi worked fine). Nothing else changed, etc.
I had to put the sim card back in the Note 4, reactivate the Note 4 on Verizon.com then put it in the Nexus 6 to get the service to work back.
Was this some fluke or was it really because I factory reset my Note 4? When I factory reset my Note 4 the sim card was in the Nexus, but it's the only thing I could think of. Before I switched sim cards/reactivated I reboot the Nexus several times, even factory reset it and clean flashed Chroma/Francos to make sure it wasn't something with the rom/kernel.
If this is going to happen, how can i sell the Note 4 but keep my service from going out?
Thanks!
I'm not sure what occurred, but I doubt that is was because you FR'd the Note 4.
I'd believe something more nefarious with VZ's system than that. Plenty of people including yourself have moved an existing SIM to the N6 to work on the network.
Get it back on the N6 and see what you get.

after i reactivated the sim card in the Note 4, i have put it back in the nexus 6 and it's working fine. I'll FR the Note 4 again tonight to see if it happens again, but I also thought it was pretty weird that it would've happened.

hit VZ's site now and see if the note 4 was replaced by a non-VZ device.
Turning on the 4 and FR really shouldn't affect the other at all at this point...
I checked to see if I could uninstall the apps from my downloaded apps but that's not an option either. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Me too. Just bought one off eBay. Connected Gear vr and nothing happens. Factory reset my Note 4. Manually installed gear vr and still nothing. Thinking of rolling back to kitkat to see if it works.
Yeah I don't want to have to do all that. Seems silly that there would be any issues with this
Sent from my Note 4
Found out you won't be able to use Gear vr on Kitkat. It forces you to upgrade to lollipop in order to use the Oculus app.
Ah OK. I just spoke with at&t and they were of no help. Samsung's support page says call carrier if it isn't working. Bs. Can't find any info online about it either besides that people were having issues on Verizon last year and needed an update. I'm just going to return the thing this weekend if I can't figure it out
Sent from my Note 4
I may have to do the same thing if I can't figure anything out. And buy a decent pair of goggles that work with Google cardboard. At least I could use that pair with any handset.
Yeah that was my origjnal plan and then convinced myself to get this. It's a bummer really
Sent from my Note 4
This is going to sound silly but I got it working. Even though I thought the phone was fully connected it wasn't. Be sure to push it till you can't see the connector.

Woo. I think I got it. All I did was pushed it down firmly in and it worked.

I put my note 8 in the note 8 version vr and close it together. It will stay black and occasionally flash white. Only thing I've done to my phone is switch from the unlocked stock firmware to at&t firmware in Odin. I've tried factory reset, uninstalling all vr apps, same results. I put an s7 edge in the vr and it works, not the headset. Phone usb connected to dex and computer without issues. Any ideas?

Yeah, it's the Oculus apps compatibility with the Note 8 according to Samsung I talked to them earlier today. They claim an update will be coming sooner or later.
Gear VR ans Note 8 mit connecting
Same here!
Then I tried to pair my Samsung Controller and immediately my Note 8 asked for Internet and installed a bunch of Software, about 4x Samsung VR Apps and 8x Oculus Apps.
After that everything runs as expected )
So after less than two weeks with my brand new device, the S-Pen stopped working (from one day to another). The phone recognizes it when I take it off, but soon after I hover it on the screen, starts interacting with it. It's like putting a piece of tape on the S-Pen tip and trying to write with it. Air Command doesn't work, neither the little circle that appears when you put the S-Pen close to the screen. I bought a $1000 device and now the most important/marketed feature stops working. What should I do? I've imported it so I don't have any warranty other than the one Seller gave to me (which now he's saying that the SPen is an accessory and it's not covered by their warranty).

I see in your sig you've had other Notes, do you still have any of them? Try the Spen from one of your older Notes & see if it works. They are compatible, just be sure to take the Spen out of the Note 8 first, unless you have Spen Power Saver turned off, or the Spen won't work. That will tell you if you simply have a defective Spen or not. Although I've never had an Spen go bad, it is possible, hopefully it's just the Spen.
I had the same issue with my note 7, after 1 week the s pen started to behave erratic, I tried the s pen of my note 4, and it worked fine, as the note 7 was recalled and I did not want to surrender it, I bought another s pen, case solved, try with another s pen from another device, if you can not claim warranty, get another s pen, I have seen them for some 25-40 dollars

That's the first thing I've did. Even the first gen S-pen works fine. The phone works perfectly. I've also tested the 8's pen with the other devices and it also had issues. Luckly, the problem is the pen. Unfortunately, it's near impossible to get a new one in Argentina

Yup, the main problem is that I'm unable to find the original pen here in my country, only knockoffs. I need to import it from the States, which is a pain in the ass and I don't meet the requirements to do such a thing. I guess I need to ask to some friends if they would import it for me. The worst thing is that I need to bother a lot of people to get a fix for a thousand dollars phone. I just can't believe it..

Well at least it's just the Spen & not the phone. Yeah that sucks how Argentina banned online international purchases. I used to forward stuff to someone I knew in Argentina but even he got hit with duty fees even though I declare as gift. For my buddies in the EU they rarely got hit with duties.
Is it possible to purchase one through Samsung in Argentina, like is there a Samsung store there?
If worse comes to worse I can offer to purchase one & forward to you but shipping costs might not be worth it even if you can get one there for more than what it should originally cost.
Did you try changing the tip?

Right now the seller says that he's awaiting response from his provider, I hope they'll give it to me without charge. There's a Samsung Store here, and they even promote the Note 8. But they don't even have a case for it so I doubt they would have an S-Pen, but I'll contact them if my seller doesn't have one. As you said, even as a "gift", you can't import anything without having Grade 3 tributary (or taxpaying?) identification code, named CUIT here. As I'm a student, I don't have one yet so It's impossible to me to get things outside of my country. Thankfully the situation is different than two years ago (even with that code, you wouldn't be able to import anything). I really appreciate your intention btw!

That's the second thing I did. I've tried all the 6 tips and none of them made a difference. Heck even without the tip is still malfunctioning. It's like something being stuck inside, but that's impossible since I didn't replaced the tip since the day I bought it.
why don't you try and go down to the Samsung store there and show them the problem, if you do that and are polite about it they might just organise a new pen for you

Fun fact is that my device now won't recognize if the S Pen is inside, resulting in a heavy battery drain and a constant alarm saying that I've lost the S-Pen. Same thing happened with the Note 5 when you broke the internal switch by inserting the Pen backwards. The thing is, now I don't know if the problem is the S Pen only, or the S Pen/Note combo. So now I really need a little help here:
I want to know how does the device recognizes the pen inside: is it a mechanical switch like older Notes, or an electronic sensor?. If it's mechanical/physical switch, then I'm done. It's broke, forever. If it's a sensor, it may stopped detecting the Pen because the pencil itself is broken, so If I replace the Pen only, it should be good.
I've seen JerryRigEverything's video about how Samsung made the Note 7 waterproof. Since the N8 S-Pen is the same as the N7 one, I came to the conclusion that the S-Pen holder is the same too. As you can see in this video at 3:19 mark, there isn't any plastic switch, but there's a cable coming from the upper part that snaps on the motherboard. I'm assuming that's the sensor. If I'm right, then my device is fine as I wouldn't be able to break that sensor. I don't know. I'll have to try a new S Pen and see what happens..

I've seen JerryRigEverything's video about how Samsung made the Note 7 waterproof. Since the N8 S-Pen is the same as the N7 one, I came to the conclusion that the S-Pen holder is the same too. As you can see in this video at 3:19 mark, there isn't any plastic switch, but there's a cable coming from the upper part that snaps on the motherboard. I'm assuming that's the sensor. If I'm right, then my device is fine as I wouldn't be able to break that sensor. I don't know. I'll have to try a new S Pen and see what happens..

Man that sucks, stupid laws that keep changing! I'd be furious if the US had laws like that!
Do you have Spen Power Saver turned on?

Doesn't make any difference. Sadly it's a hardware issue.
