I got the Galaxy Gear back in December so I had to make the jump to 4.3 on my T-mo Note 2. I flashed via ODIN and it got connected with the Gear and everything was pretty much fine, except that the phone was INCREDIBLY slow now that I was on a stock Samsung ROM. Well last month I was tired of it being slow and having absolutely awful battery life, so I rooted again and flashed Jedi Master X2, since it's the only custom ROM I could find that has Samsung's applications for the Gear and S-Pen. I had had a lot of success with Jedi X17-X20 and Jedi Master X1 so I thought X2 would be just as great.
Since I've put on Jedi Master X2 the phone has sped up a little, but there are a number of things that are very wrong with it. For one, batter life is even worse than the stock Samsung ROM. I'm lucky to get 6 hours with minimal usage. On older Jedi Master or Jedi X ROMs I would get at least 12-24 hours depending on how heavy usage was. Maybe my battery is shot, it's been over a year, but I'm not sure.
The second issue is the phone is still slow to react to input. Whether that input is hitting the power button, home button, menu or back keys, or touch screen, it takes at least 2 extra seconds to recognize input if the phone hasn't been touched in a few minutes or if I've been using it for more than 5min.
The third issue is the biggest: Every few minutes I will lose signal completely and it will say my SIM is not inserted. This is the most annoying problem I've ever had with this phone. I can't get through a single phone call without dropping signal, unless I'm on Wi-Fi calling and then there is an awful echo on the other person's end of their own voice.
Has anyone else had issues with updating to 4.3? How can I solve these issues? I really don't want to flash my phone AGAIN. I've tried re-flashing Jedi Master X2, and that didn't solve any of the problems.

1) Jedi Master is a work in progress with a very busy Dev. Try a custom kernel such as Agni from the N7105 forum and play with settings.
2) See above
3) Change SELinux to permissive for data drop issues. Can't tell you about sim card issue but it couldn't hurt in diagnosing the situation. Either do it in exposed or selinux changer from the market.

its real nice to finally have some ICS goodness on my phone, but i have found some issues.
my Motorola Roadster 2 bluetooth speakerphone does not work well with this version of ICS. will not let me use the call/text button.
i am finding some apps not working correctly, i.e. Pushover - the notifications do not make a sound. Not sure if that is an app issue, or an ICS issue.
*edit* ok so it seems that i am not getting any notification sounds. sms, voicemail, etc...
also the volume in general does not seem as loud as the 2.3.6 firmware was.
anyone else find any issues?
*UPDATE* after wiping within cwmr most of my issues were no longer present. the only problem i had still was that notification sounds didnt work after a couple hours. i dont know the cause, but i used audio manager widget and set the profile to loud, and restarted phone. havent had them go out since.
I have all these issues except tue bluetooth thing

atleast it is not me.
i am going to reflash my phone to see if it may be an issue with not clearing out the phones memory and storage first...
My wifi didn't work for a while. It would see my access point but wouldn't connect. Reset the router and everything went back to normal. GPS works, Stereo BT/OBEX works, 4G works, camera works. Those were my big items, as I'm sure they are most people's.
My only issues are that I can't switch to 2g (At&t rom....) and how friggin Touch-wizzy everything is. I was expecting them to embrace the whole holo thing a lot more, but all the buttons feel like they belong in GB, same with the notification menu and the settings icons.
EDIT: I am on rogers, in case any rogers people see this so they know that everything works on our network
i wiped via cwmr and reflashed the ics rom. notifications work again. have not rooted yet, wondering if that may have been an issue with it...
Changing the lcd DPI causes the rom to corrupt i guess, since when i do it, after the reboot, i get to the samsung "logo" and then black screen, and it feels like the device has shut down. The only app that would say "success" when i change the value is Lcd Density Modder.
- i had the notification sound bug, but then i changed the notification sounds to my likings, and then i used Audio Manager widget to set the volume loud, no problems ever since.
ok rooted and all is fine. maybe i just had a bad flash. my bluetooth speakerphone still doesnt work, but that is an issue that i will have to research
For me, i had the only issue with ICS (excluding the known thing with the keyboard not flashing) - timezones from 2011 year with wrong summer times.
Luckyly fixed it with timezone fixer from google play.
Tethering doesn't work, seems to be broken and results in a blackscreen.. Both Usb and Wifi Hotspot give this issue.. Anyone else getting this
One weird thing my phone does is when it's been asleep for a while, the lockscreen clock will fall behind and when I wake it up, it'll catch up a couple dozen minutes at a time.

I've rogers version but unlocked and working with a local carrier. Wifi is not a problem at all, i'm getting the same speed and used wifi continuously for over 2 hrs to download all my apps back after the update.
When typing with the keyboard, pressing the alt. Key once makes it select all the special characters. I liked the older one where if you press it once, it operates just once when selecting the special character, and pressing it twice makes it select more than one. Not that big of an issue but to some people it may be.
Also, the brightness thing. When I turn off the screen, and turn it on again, it flashes from the highest brightness to the current.

On AT&T here, and having wifi issues as well... Once the phone drops wifi at idle, it doesn't want to pick it back up unless I turn wifi off and back on again. Setting the wifi to never sleep has been my only workaround.
Also having some issues with the button backlights. If I don't touch the phone long enough for the button backlight to turn off, touching the buttons won't turn the light back on. Touching the screen turns the backlight on again, but it's slightly annoying.
I haven't noticed any wifi issues and I use my Glide exclusively as a wifi device. I'm copying my backup of Inception v2 back right now though because the battery drain on the ICS ROM is definitely an issue. Losing like 10% an hour with my phone just sitting there with the screen off.

Have you ever took note of your battery life with a custom ROM or kernel? When I picked up my Glide it had a stock ROM but I only had it for an hour before I put a custom on it. I didn't mess with the stock one at all so I can't compare to stock 2.3.5/6. But with Inception v2/ardatdat, it was definitely better.
I was going to restore my backup but copying it back to my phone made me realize how painful it is to copy backups with CWMR 6 compared to 5. That new blobs folder makes so many files that it took 3 hours to copy 3 of my backups over USB. Ouch.
But since last night, the battery life seems to be behaving better. Its been sitting here and not just dying. I'm wondering if it could be the battery stats file. Maybe I'll try wiping it. I'm sure once we get a lower voltage kernel and I can underclock with profiles for the screen-off and stuff, it'll be fine again.
Unrelated but has anyone taken a screenshot with the ROM yet? ICS is supposed to have it built in, power button + volume down at the same time for a few seconds from what I read, but didn't seem to work.
Edit: Its home + power button at the same time.

when you flashed ICS did you wipe everything then run the ics installer? my first install sound and such didnt work, so i wiped the phone in cwmr and reflashed ics and it is better that it was on 2.3.6
Which version do you prefer? I have used many roms of both types and prefer MC2 manily for stability. I have noticed only one big difference between the two.. When I use my blue tooth no matter what MC2 based rom I used, and I have used many.. During a call sometimes it will disconnect and I have to turn it off then on again to reconnect. This I have not noticed with MK4 based roms.. I wish I knew what the difference was between the two or I would incorporate it into my MC2 rom I use.. Pluse sometimes it would give me a annoying buzzing sound and I have to turn it off as well.. Love to hear what your opinions are on each..
I prefer Mk4 with the right rom
For the longest time I was using whompasaurus which I believe to be ma7? The most stable rom I've been able to find for the L900.
The MK4 roms all seemed so buggy and missing features I was used to but Team Venum just updated their MK4 rom and I've switched over and I don't think I will go back. I use bluetooth all the time and I haven't had any issues like the ones you are talking about.
Can't beat a stock mc2 with Perseus kernel. Just flash a couple mods. Fast smooth and not a single issue

Another interesting thing to Note (no pun intended) is that the application "Roam Control" doesn't seem to want to work on MK4 roms from what I have heard and experienced, while it does play nice with MC2.

I prefer MC2 but i do get the same issue you do most times with bluetooth but thats kinda normal at times
im trying to move over to MK4 because its really built for 4.3 and MC2 is mainly 4.1
but the modems can work other places

I have the MK4 Modem on my MC2 rom.. I'm wondering if you can flash a MK4 radio as well.. Plus does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying sprint update notification on these MC2 roms.. Each time it pops up I just hit install, let it fail, and it is only good for a couple of days.. Most of the MK4 roms I have used, they seem to freeze up or do random reboots, which require a battery pull. I never had that issue with MC2 which is rock solid IMOP.. Plus the perseus kernel, I will get on average 2 days on a battery unless I talk all the time, then It will still give me 16hrs worth of life..
I have been cruising @digiblur 4.3 MK4 Rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2157332 as my daily drive from the day it came across the board and have not had any issues at all, no lockups, no random reboots none of those horror stories you read about in other threads

When i got my note 2 (mc2 was current base) I had nothing but problems with lockups on tw roms. So I stuck with aosp. Since mk4 I have not had these issues. Recently (last week) went back and tried pinky and the brain again. I always wanted to use it but like all the other touchwiz roms it just wouldn't run right. I tried different kernels, bootloaders, and radio/firmware combos all without luck. It just goes to show that each phone is different.

Hey guys. I moved up from a Verizon Note 2 to a T-Mobile Note 3 two weeks ago (and switched carriers obviously).
Since then, it has happened that the phone gets stuck and then reboots.
Three times it's happened while scrolling in the 9Gag app, once while in the Play Store and once as I was unlocking the phone using a pattern an e-mail came in and the vibration got stuck for a while and then rebooted.
I've also noticed that if I have WiFi on, Skype logs in fine, if I leave the house so I go on 4G and then come back to WiFi, Skype refuses to see a connection unless I turn off WiFi or reboot the phone.
Then yesterday the entire phone was in landscape mode even though I had auto-rotate enabled, and whether I turned it off and back on, it stayed on landscape mode until I rebooted the phone.
My wife also has a T-Mobile Note 3, bought at the same time. For her it's rebooted only once so far while using Google Maps.
I've had S3, Sprint Note 2, Verizon Note 2, and my wife has had S3 and S4. Now we both got these Note 3s and man, this is way too glitchy. On the Note 2 I went over 2 months once without rebooting the phone. This one has rebooted itself 5-6 times in 2 weeks!
We're updated to KitKat 4.4.2 (OTA) and not rooted or modified in any way (yet). So I'm wondering if it's KitKat that is glitchy, since our phones before weren't on KitKat, or the Note 3s in general, or just my specific Note 3.
Would love any info on this. Thanks.
I would do a master reset. Worst case Odin stock rom. Avoid send in for refurbished one
Def don't root yet. Try and get phone stable first.
TWEAKED N3
If i'm going to wipe, I might as well root. I've rooted and modded all my devices to date. Just when I got to the Note 3 it seemed that things had become considerably harder than on the Note 2...so I chickened out.
EDIT: if you don't mind me doing the noob thing and just asking, what's the easiest way to get root? I don't particularly care about a customized rom, but definitely want system access to get rid of all this bloat and install my customized video ringtone program.

It not harder it more steps and Odin is best. But if you have hardware issues on stock u need to know before root

Yeah, doing it now. Going to go stock but rooted so I can have some control. Maybe later on i'll flash a custom rom when I have time to go through them and see which one suits my style.
Thanks.
I'd suggest doing a factory reset b4 anything, then if that dose not work, use odin and flash kit kat... then if ur issue persist, maybe contact samsung.

I be honest I don't use it and this kk really doesn't drain the battery like job did stock
TWEAKED N3
I haven't noticed any sort of glitches since I've had my N3. Even after putting the jedi ROM on it seems fine. As far as the battery goes, I know there are alot of complaints that kk has killed alot of the life out of it. I haven't noticed a difference in battery life either. It holds a charge all day and some. And greenify is to stop or freeze certain apps that run constantly in the background that could drain the battery. I personally didn't really like the app nor did I need it.

Well, I went on a stock deodexed rom and got on lean kernel for a while... but it's still doing the stuck-and-reboot thing. It's always related to the touch screen, so i'm either scrolling or clicking to open an app or settings within an app. The phone gets momentarily stuck, then full reboot.
How long do I have to get it exchanged in store? I wonder if i'm within that time frame. It's definitely not normal and getting very annoying.
If i'm outside the time to get exchanged in store, what's my next best option?
I have to say that this experience with the Note III has been nothing short of disappointing and nothing like the two Note IIs I had before (different carriers for each, neither broke or gave any problems).
Here's an update for anyone who finds this and is in the same boat.
I had two issues: 1) the power button became so recessed that it's a hassle to turn on/off the screen, 2) the phone kept turning on and off, by the end almost constantly, without any obvious pattern beyond it getting stuck after me touching the screen (i.e. never just up and turned off while being idle).
Because of the recessed power button, T-Mobile shipped me a replacement phone. Should arrive tomorrow.
I still tried troubleshooting the rebooting issue. I think it came down to one or a couple of the following:
1 - Go Weather EX
2 - Freeza's CRT mod
3 - flashable 1% battery mod
4 - bootanimation.zip support flashable script
5 - something in the Deodexed version of the stock KitKat rom
In prepping to take the phone to T-Mobile, I did the return to stock thing with Odin, putting back stock kitkat odex non-rooted rom. The entire afternoon I got not a single reboot. Since I came back home with the phone, I restored a backup I had made before doing the Odin stuff. Back to rebooting.
So I thought, let's go back to the stock experience like I had earlier, and restore my apps through the play store and manually hunt it down.
Now i'm running the stock odexed kitkat rom, rooted, with lean kernel, with a whole bunch of stock apps frozen, and virtually all my apps and not a problem. I avoided 2-4 since those mess with the framework and I thought it could have something to do with it. I removed Go Weather EX because I experienced a reboot once while setting it up as a live wallpaper.
When the new phone arrives tomorrow I'll try to duplicate my current setup and hopefully won't have any more rebooting issues. I hope this helps anyone experiencing the same thing. I know it's kinda convoluted and not very concise, but then again this experience has been nothing short of annoying and confusing.
I flashed my note 2 to jedi x via goo and twrp, The phone was running 4.3 update. Everything works pretty well, except the phone drops calls every time about 1:30 into the call. Over WIFI, it works fine. Only over phone modem. And it drops EVERY time. It is far more than annoying. I am trying to figure out why. I tried reverting back to stock ROM, but I think I didn't wipe enough clean. Anyone have any ideas what I did wrong? I searched and searched but no one seems to have this exact problem.
thank you

Hi all I updated my Note P600 to XKat 3.0 and am using Xluco Kernel V 1.0RC. My note is discharging at an annoyingly fast rate. I also notice that the top right portion of my note (in landscape) is getting rather hot. Any ideas? It also seems to be randomly rebooting. It also seems to forget my WiFi Key every reboot.
Random reboots and wifi losses are associated with the kernel. I experienced those with 0.9 but none after going back to stock. I suggest you talk to the kernel developer @xluco for your problems
