Signal worse after update - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Has anyone else experienced a significant "decrease" in signal strength after the ota update?
I now get no signal in my house after updating where prior I would have enough to call, send and receive text and mms.
Now unless I'm on wifi I get nothing.
Suggestions?

I had the same problem! What worked for me is going into Wifi calling settings and changing to cellular signal preferred! Let me know if that works

MMS on CM7

I have CM7.1.0 and I love it, the only draw back is that I am not receiving my MMS messages unless I manually turn off wifi and 3G on and then click download. Or if I am on 3G I still have to check if I have a message and if I do I have to manually click download. Can anyone help me with my problem?? Thanks!

Do you have auto-retrieve checked in the setting menu under mms?
Yeah I do that is why I'm confused lol

I know I had this issue a week or so ago. It only lasted of like a day tho. It just went away by itself and the only things i've since having that issue was updating my PRL (*22899). I doubt that did it but you never know!
I leave 3g on when connected to wifi. It just does it by itself.

I do the exact same thing. I was told, by someone, that wifi radio uses less power then the 3g radio.

Need confirmation from other people.

This is for stock phone users only.
This is about that roaming notification that always pops up once you roam.
Ever since I did the update, that notification has stopped coming up once I roam, can anyone else confirm that they might have fixed this little annoyance?

I posted about this in another thread but nobody seemed to notice.
I've been on LI3 for several days now and haven't seen the Data Roaming notification since the update. I have definitely roamed several times. Perhaps it is fixed.
Same here

[Q] Can't receive MMS while on WiFi

Just like the title says. I'm using Wicked's V.5 with UVLI8. I've looked at other threads with other devices and I've seen no resolution.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

have you ever been able too? b'c on past phones while on wifi the mobile network would kick in to let the mms go Thru or come in then go back to wifi when it was done
Check if wifi calling is on. If it is turn it off and it should work.

Seems like a work-around. I'll test, but still, it's a pain to have to turn wi-fi calling off and on to receive a MMS. Why wouldn't I just turn of wi-fi for the moment till the MMS comes thru?
You can do that too. But for many its good enough to be a fix... If you're like me and don't use wifi calling.
I know it sucks, but at least you'll know what's causing it. Maybe if enough people complain they'll fix it.
I've heard some 3rd party apps allow mms to send over wifi and therefore will work with wifi calling.
Tmobile only allows mms to send over data connection.

Are you sure? I get pix all the time at home and I'm showing 100% without signal. 0 bars but still the triangle. This is with Wi-Fi calling always on. Stock and xquizit.
Sometimes I do get the "data roaming" lost connection bs and lose Wi-Fi calling.

Well, I was sure until I read your post! :what: lol
I guess it could very well be that it was fixed with UVALH2 and i forgot. Maybe I just need to go to sleep!
Ive forgotten more than I'll ever know!

Similar thing happens to me. Wifi get stuck or conflict with Data signal.
I always turn Network Data off 1st, then turn WiFi on - once WiFi fully loaded => turn data on. That way it prevent wifi conflict. Works for me.

You might be partially right lol. There was a thread about turning mobile data off and that killed MMS over WiFi. All I know is that I'm able to send and receive MMS at home and I have no cell signal. There's no way the MMS are going through the cell tower. Technically speaking I do have some sort of signal. Even though it says no signal it's a blank triangle and not the circle with a line through it. It's enough to register with the network I guess...
I think I need sleep too. Turning WiFi off gave me the no signal circle. So iono wtf.
I know this has something to do with the custom ROM I'm using (Wicked V.5). I've never seen this issue, and I've been using Androids for 2 years. Even before I flashed Wicked, I had no issues on the same device on the same WiFi network.
Xquizit xD works fine for me.

CM10 bugs....how to downgrade to ICS

I installed the cm10 rom about 2 weeks ago. I love jelly bean and cm10 dont get me wrong but i have been noticing that i can not send picture messages when connected to 3g or wifi (i have to reboot the phone everytime i want to send a picture) also my 3g would randomly disappear (it disconnects without showing that its disconnected). I have to put the phone on airplane mode and then reconnect to 3g. Just a few days ago my s3 stopped letting me use the wifi at my job (it said trying to avoid poor signal or something like that). The wifi signal at my job is very strong and i went into the wifi settings and disable the "avoid poor signal" feature. Still it wouldnt connect but it connects to the wifi at my house. I just want to know if im the only person experiencing this. Also how would i be able to switch back to ics from jb? Is it a quick process? Can it be done str8 from my phone without using my computer? Can i do it using mobile odin? If odin is needed?

Going back to ics is as simple as wiping the normal things, then flashing a ics based rom.

So, now that you're back on ICS, you should give CM10 another try. That build was like 2 months old. Those bugs you were talking about have been squashed. Pretty stable at this point.
Ill check it out. Do uknow if netflix is workingon jb?

MMS not coming through

I have continued issues with receiving picture texts.... I almost always have to tell the sender to send it once more for it to come through. I've also noticed my H bars turning from Blue to Grey when this happens.... Any ideas as to what could be causing this? At&t looks dumbfounded every time I go in or call about this....

TBH, it sounds like an ATT issue.
I know the common thought is that grey bars means lost connections to Google, but when that happens to me, I have always lost network connectivity.

Remove your Google account then add again. Reboot.
Edit, custom ROM? I went back to stock because of many random issues since 4.1.2 was officially released.

mms is either apn related problem or just bad coverage (no good data in area)
you can google different apn settings to try
I have to use go smd to view mms depending on what ROM I'm using.

Uncheck auto retrieve and manually download them when they come. ThTs what I do on my vzw gnex as they sometimes get stuck if it have it auto and don't finish downloading.
