I've been working on making a ROM for a while. I started with the stock 2.2 November OTA, and have been doing some theming and making some changes in the framework and such. mostly basic stuff like getting rid of the GPS indicator in the notification bar, and the USB debugging notification. Also implementing 6 bar signal bar, and pulling some stuff from Evo ROMS. I also made some changes in the Rosie.apk, transparent app drawer, making the right button open the browser, etc.
somehow, something I changed broke the ability of the signal indicator to display 1x when appropriate. I used to see 3g change to 1x briefly whenever sending a text, but not anymore. I didn't think much of it til yesterday, I was in a bad signal area, but the signal indicator still showed 3g. I was trying to send an MMS, and it too a very long time. I went into Settings - About - Networks and saw it said CDMA -1xRTT, notification bar still showed 3g.
It's such a minor thing, but it's still a bug and I'd like to get it fixed. The weird thing is, I tried reverting back to the stock files bit by bit, until I was back to the stock framework and stock Rosie, but it was still broken after wiping everything and flashing again. So I reverted phone to full stock by flashing the November OTA PB31IMG.zip and it went back to working. Flashed my ROM with the stock framework and Rosie, broke it again.
I've been working on this ROM for a while and can't recall all the dozens of little changes I made, but I know it wasn't much outside of /framework/ and /app/.
Anyone have an idea what I may have done to break this?
Ok now I feel a little stupid. I just went and pulled the entire framework folder from the stock OTA and flashed just that (I was replacing files in framework one at a time before) and NOW I see 1x when I send a text....
so it definitely was something that I changed in there.... mostly what I've done is change stuff in the classes.dex files in smali, but I can't figure out which change broke the 1x...

So, I decided to overhaul my epic today, basically clean everything up and try and reset it back to a factory type state. I noticed that since i change my rom almost every week, alot of stuff gets left behind when i flash a new one, even after completely wiping data/cache/dalvek X3. In fact if i use a program like root explorer even after Odining my phone back to stock eclair i still am able to see folders and other random tweaks that are left from this GPS fix or that "theme change".
One of the things I noticed lately is that my notification light has basically stopped working all together. I'm certain it isnt a hardware issue as the light didnt just randomly stop all together, but rather happened after i went into a leaked gingerbread rom, i think EF02. I want to find a fix for this, and im sure there is something i can type into the terminal to calibrate the LED.
Also as a side question, is it possible to completely delete all the left over stuff from other roms? Ive tryed Odining back to eclair, tryed the silly hard-reset thing with the button on the back, tryed everything i can get my hands on. anyone have a clue?
No I don't think your led will require recalibration. Try downloading handcent and test the custom led settings (you have to set 100 red or 100 blue other settings won't get results. Besides the pink one which I think is a combination of 100 on two colors I can't remember which) and if this doesn't work you might have a hardware problem.
Edit: and for your other question wiping 3x in cwm should get the job done besides the modem. That you'll have to odin back.
Cd's or tapes?

If said rom uses the Bonsai EF02 beta kernel, then that's your problem. Flashing chris41g's EG22 kernel should restore your LED.
I remember, my led stopped working, because I had it turned off in eclair, and when I upated to eb13, there was no longer a setting to toggle, so it was stuck off. Since then, I've rooted, and had to wipe data, which fixed it for me.

so battery died yesterday and I turned it on today and the status bar icons are just grey and don't run blue. Its been like this all day, does not matter if its on data or wifi. It just happened out of the blue no idea what caused it. I didn't install any new apps or anything so its really weird.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried reflashing your current ROM? Wipe Cache/Dalvik? Wipe everything? Plenty of things to do!
Reboot your phone.
If that doesn't help, then go into settings/more/data and back up your APN. Then reset it to defaults.
Also check the simple things. I had a similar issue one time were some how airplane mode got turned on. If all that fails reflash and wipe everything. make sure you have abck up of all your settings. if none of that work call you provider and make sure they dont have it blocked for some reason. Also you may try flashing a new radio file.

i'm on at&t. this happened to me about 6 months ago. here's where it gets interesting: my wife and i both were on S2s at the time and we BOTH had the same thing happen at the same exact time. i was texting at work and noticed the gray bars. i had just been browsing the web 10 minutes prior with the blue signal bars. i texted her and told her i dont have data. she replied back and notified me that she too just got the gray bars and no connection. we were both running 2 completely different roms and kernels. she had been on her rom for 2 weeks and me for 3 months.
at&t said we looked fine on their computers and didnt know why we werent getting data. my wife slipped and told them we were rooted and we didnt get any more useful help after that. randomly, about 6 hours later the connection/data came back and we never saw the issue again
Stock/no root Tmo Note 3, with latest nk3 firmware update (ota) , WiFi won't turn on. In notification panel you tap WiFi button and it hangs partially green but not fully bright green, doesn't connect. In settings slide button is grayish but no connection, won't slide to off just sits there not connecting. A restart will put switch back to off, mobile network works fine just can't get WiFi to start.
Sometimes it works after phone sits for a while. Basic apps installed no facebook app or weird games.
This condition started recently out of nowhere, no problems after ota back in November, phone has same case since new back in Oct/2013 , phone has not been dropped or dunked in toilet.
No flashing or root attempts, download mode and stock recovery can be accessed. Not looking to flash custom ROM, rooting is a possible option if needed to solve issue.

same here bro

hey bro i have exactly the same problem , but my case is slightly different i am having this problem since i have rooted my phone now i just cant find any way to solve it , i just think its a hardware problem. if u come to find any solution plz dont forget to post it here. i am waiting for ur reply.
Will do that, been looking around but nothing yet, have read a bunch of stuff in Google, similar but not the same issue.
I'm suspecting the modem but have not attempted to flash or look for modem file yet.
Not sure if I'm going to find it here anyway, this Note 3 thread is the lamest thread here, I see a lot of questions asked here that go unanswered, I have asked questions in the past that got no response, and simply ones too.
I also follow the T-Mobile S4 thread and there you get a ton of activity but here, it's like pulling teeth.
Anyway I will post back for your sake if I figure out something.

Tried reseting modem with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52735067
but still acting up now and then .
But toggling "airplane mode" on/off un-greys wifi button and it works smoothly.
Pp.
So, the device has always been stock, never been rooted or anything, never had any custom firmware on it? I am understanding this correctly? And that being the case, this means the device has also never had the data partition scrubbed?
Honestly, I would strongly recommend wiping the device and installing the NK3 firmware via odin. I'm not sure you are going to find a solution.
One thing you can do first, is root the device, and download the app "LogcatX".. open the app, run a logcat, then hit that wifi toggle. Save the logcat and post it here.
I highly doubt this is fixable without a re-install of the OS, however.
Good luck
I had considered root just for debloating purposes and re-flashin the firmware but with an update around the corner I can toggle airplane mode for a bit longer.
I like stock touchwiz and also need reliability from the phone so won't be considering a custom rom.
Pp.
Use Tweaked ROM. It's more reliable than stock.
Kind of funny, you mention you need reliability and because of that you won't root and install custom firmware. Yet, your device is bone stock and your WiFi is broken. Lol.
Think about it.
Wifi is just an extra, I rely more on my unlimited data plan and living in the metropolitan area LTE is always strong and plentiful. Wifi comes in handy when downloading huge files, pdf's and some large images (work related )
and using download boost. Wifi calling is handy also to have but haven't really needed it.
So it's nice to have working. But not the end of the world.

I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 4 ( SMN910P) not rooted yet on Lollipop (5.0.1)
I don't care for the stock icons so I changed them using a 3rd party app (icon play) which was looking fine until a couple days ago I noticed the PHONE icon had reverted back to its original state. I used same app to change it again & apps notification said the new icon was placed on my home screen which it in fact did however nothing changes with it. At first I thought it was the app so I used several others but each one had the same results. All other icons theme just fine except for the PHONE one. I tried taking the battery out, rebooting and even factory resetting my phone but none of that fixed the problem. I don't know why nor how to fix it but this mismatched icon is driving me crazy!! Any help is appreciated.
I recently from Viper Rom lollipop to GPE and painfully came back to Viper 4.3 Lollipop
Since - I cannot pull notification bar EXCEPT the home screen and now even thats gone, although it works horizontally
I had a 4.4 Kit Kat Back up which I reverted to and issue remains, did data wipe, cache clean etc, still same
I did a line drawing test and as suspected the upper region is blank
Is this a coicidence? that after changing roms it killed something although I feel it might have acted up even b4 my recent Viper>GPE>Viper experiment
I am S-OFF
What do I please?
S/W Fix?
If HWD? Phone is still under 1 year, how do I make it so it looks stock and not get caught
Please help
Anyone please
