I'm having strange data cut outs. The signal still says LTE, H+ or H with bars but web pages stop loading. I have to turn airplane mode on and off for data to come back. This is happening to me on both Danvdh and VirginROM and I'm running the NB4 radio. Anyone have any ideas on what's going on?
As a side note, I just got this GS4 replacement a few weeks ago. I installed DANVDH without even booting the phone into stock Touchwiz once. Everytime I turn the phone on it says on the top left corner in red letters KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING and in yellow it says SET WARRANTY BIT: KERNEL
Got no idea what that means. Never saw it on my last GS4.

Thats the new Knox bootloader Pretty much telling you from startup that the kernel is not SEAndroid enforcing. Mainly needed for enterprise. Don't worrk about that. But i would try flashing modem again. Have you deleted anything from /system directory?

Would you happen to know where I can find the NB4 modem? I'm googling all over the place and can't find it for the 4.3 knox bootloader my phone has.
Just an FYI your not the only one experiencing this. I am too, BRONX NY. The data icon will be there saying i have connection but it wont connect. Airplane mode always does the trick but thats pretty annoying to do. I am not sure whats causing this but ive reflash NB4 modem before and I have also reflashed the entire NB4 tar.

You've already tripped KNOX so, from what I was told, its fine to flash the NB4 for the non-KNOX bootloader.
That being said, while my signal increased with the NB4 modem, I too am having the random drops :/
I'm somewhat tempted to return to stock, unroot, and take all the upgrades to get matching bootloaders, modems, etc., and then reroot and restore my ROM backup.

I am experiencing this issue as well.
I'm on bootloader and modem/baseband NB4.
I'm not getting random data drop-outs (maybe only occasionally), but there are spots around town that my signal becomes absolutely unuseable and I can't make phone calls or anything.
Airplane mode doesn't reset the connection properly either.
I'm using the M919 on AT&T, "phone" APN. I've tried the "pta" APN and it doesn't work any better, maybe a little worse.
Any help with this would be great.

Turns out this isn't happening to just us.
http://www.tmonews.com/2014/07/t-mobile-lte-network-stalling-or-dropping-out-youre-not-alone/
This doesn't seem applicable to my situation at least - I'm on the AT&T network.
I'm using the M919 unlocked and while at work (which sits RIGHT next to an AT&T tower) I'm getting easily -60 to -80 dbm signal. I can make calls and everything perfectly fine with no drop-outs on LTE.
I go home and suddenly its -98 to -116 and while my LTE data is still working and I receive texts/voicemail, I cannot make or receive calls. My wife, on an iPhone has solid signal and can make/receive phone calls.
It seems that either the M919 is not as strongly compatible with AT&T's frequencies or that something is wrong with the phone.
I've tested this on 100% stock NB4 4.4.2 with stock recovery/bootloader/modem/etc.
I've also tested this on numerous AOSP/GPE roms and same result.
I've tried MK2 modem and it doesn't help either.
I know this is isolated to the M919 because my previous phone was an HTC One M7 and it worked fine at home and at work, both stock and AOSP.
I'm almost to the point of trying to odin flash an i337 AT&T NB4 modem on this phone to see if there's any relief, but I'm still wary of bricking it.

I was checking out some of the themes that i had downloaded to see which one i liked the most and after a few installs i noticed that my phone was no longer getting 3g/hspa+ ? I had done nothing except install and reboot like instructed in the discription. I was installing them via "Themes" settings. Im currently on AOKP build 39 with the latest nightly from Franco (R191), I have never seen this before which is why i thought id post this thread. I have tried the following and got no fix:
tried *#*#4636#*#* and selected radio band/automatic but got nothing.
tried a refresh on the APN and got nothing
tried Mobile networks/Network operators/both "Select Automatically" and choosing T-mobile and no 3g still =(. Im stuck on EDGE:2
The radio that i have been on for a while now is xxkk6 which has worked pretty good for me coming from Phoenix,AZ
Dont know what else to do, someone help please

I'm having the same problem. Was working fine on HSPA last night and woke up to Edge only all day. It's not a network outage and it's not my account as my SIM works on HSPA on my backup HTC Amaze. I was recently on CM9 Nightly 6/20 but I'll try going back to the stock rom and see what that does.
Edit: Tried reverting to complete stock everything and I'm still stuck on Edge only. I'll try a friend's SIM out and make sure it's not my account/IMEI issue, otherwise something has to be wrong with the phone, but I don't know what

There is no outage in my area because everyone that i know has T-mobile and there phone works fine. Re flash rom, gapps, kernel and problem still remains
Either me bringing it back to stock/oem lock then unlock or my phone fixed itself. At first when i was done bringing it back to stock, it was still saying i was on edge, then after about an hour when i tried to root my phone i noticed that 3g/h back up. I still dont know what exactly the root cause but whatever its fixed
Hi all,
I'm having issues with very weak WIFI (unless I'm 2 feet from the router). My wifes note 2 (never been rooted) works completely fine. Side by side, she has full bars and I have a small green dot. I've tried many different roms and nothing helped. I used [ROM][RESTORE][5-12-13]Back to UNROOTED Stock with Auto Flash Count Reset, so I can bring it to Sprint. They tested it and said that there is nothing wrong and I couldn't use my insurance to get another phone.
Reading throught the forums, it seems like it's a software issue. I even tried copying a 4.1.1 Wifi folder and that didn't help. I thought of trying the LJC version of the back to unrooted stock to see if that helps.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this issue? Now my 3g/4g signal is very weak. Been downloading speedtest app for about 5 minutes.
Right now, I'm on Paranoid version 3.92/ TWRP recovery.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Randy
Forget it.
I found a stock image and was able to odin it to the phone. The phone went through multiple updates. Now my 3g/4g signal is alot better but my wifi is still weak. Now off to try to solve that problem.
I posted about this briefly on the T-Mo forums, looks like I'm not the only one who is having some issues with Kitkat. Mainly, sometimes when you leave Wifi you will lose all radio signal until a reboot. Also, on Wifi Calling, usually after 20 minutes or so you can send text messages just fine but you won't receive them until you reboot.
Just want to warn anyone who is looking to update their bootloader like I did and now can't go back to the fully functional 4.3. I'm completely reliant on Wifi calling where I am so this is a bad situation.
I've also heard there are some battery drain issues in 4.4.2 with the Note 3.
no problem here if not i get better lte signal b4 i only get one 1 bar at my work now i get 3

Yeah, the signal is a little better in some areas, but I'm not sure if that's just the way the signal is displayed or if there was actually something done to improve the signal, I tend to think it's the first option.
These are mostly issues related to Wifi calling, just wanted to warn people who are reliant on it like me.

How did you take the update? If you're not concerned with knox flags I really suggest backup apps etc and use philz or twrp....wipe that thing till it bleeds haha...i like to follow wipes with a reboot back into revovery....(also tapping No to any requests to add root) then flash the stock deodexed or odexed if you must lol....I've not had a single hangup. ....then after loading rom set everything up and proceed to remove bloat from [system/app] AND [data/app] ....reboot....profit.
Let me add I've had my note for about 2 weeks with stock 4.3 no root nada...straight from t-mo and had about 12-15 random reboots....After update (1st took ota then said f*÷! it and rooted and slapped custom recov on him then wiped everything except external sd and flashed stock zip) Not 1 reboot ! since what...Wednesday .....wifi calling 100 %....best of luck

Yes, tried multiple fresh installs/re-downloads.
I Odin'd the 4.4.2 update, rooted, flashed philz recovery, then wiped and installed the de-odexed from that thread over in development. It isn't an issue with the roms, it's definitely the update itself, people over on the T-Mo forums are having the same issues. Hopefully it gets worked out.

My wife and I have Note 3s, both still on 4.3, rooted only otherwise stock rom and we are having this problem. We've had our phones since launch and this problem only started happening a couple of weeks ago. I definitely do not think it's an OS update problem.

Good luck.
Thought I'd post this in case it helps anybody else who's on the fence about the NB4 modem. I was having random reboots and freezing on calls with Fenny's rom, and having read one of Fenny's responses that the NB4 modem might help, decided to take the plunge. The only reason I was holding back at all was because I can't find a download anywhere of the old modem to flash back to in case of problems.
Flashing was simple, I just followed the instructions, flashing it twice. It only takes seconds to flash.
Rebooting the phone was a bit flaky, but I've had that before coming out of Odin mode, it'll go to the gray then the green battery screens first, third time it rebooted into System.
I made a test call and it worked fine.
I should have run speed tests with the old modem, but I didn't. What prompted me to do so on the new one was that immediately on booting I noticed my signal bars were all lit, I've never seen a full signal at home before, so I ran a speed test. 92mbps down and 21mbps up. I thought at first I was smoking crack, but I ran it again and got a similar result. For laughs I ran it over Time Warner on wifi and got 16mbps and 2.85mbps.
Here are the download links for the modem I used and the backup firmware which I didn't need (I assume that will overwrite the new modem, but I don't know for sure, there appears to be very little information in the forum about flashing back, which leads me to think that flashing the NB4 modem is unlikely to cause any problems).

Don't think I trust the signal bars anymore after NB4. It's almost always full bars, but according to Network Signal Info, the db levels are still the same as the old modem(-106db). Don't see any speed difference.
What is a NB4 modem? Just a question.
It's the latest modem release, kitkat.

Now that that I have installed the T-mo Lollipoop update, my phone is a paperweight. As I don't suppose T-mo will replace it....
Is there anyway to roll the LG-G3 back to KitKat or whatever version it was on WHEN IT WORKED PERFECTLY?
Any help would be appreciated, it is useless as it is.

I ask this when fixing computers, why is it a paper weight lol.. whats wrong with the phone ? we need moar nfo ...
Paperweight
No or Spotty Wi/Fi
Cell signal has almost vanished (it I stand next to a T-mo tower I can get 5 bars for a minute)
Cell signal keeps dropping so the phone is constantly searching for a signal
Due to constantly searching for signals, the battery drain is actually watchable on the notification screen, about 1% a minute.
Phone will not stay connected long enough to complete a call.
All of these Issues happened after Lollipoop.
Hence, is there a way do "Upgrade" it back to Kit Kat.
I could not find anything on her about it. I did find a video on Youtube, but it was for a Verizon unit, not sure if it would be the same or not
I have two phones, same issue on both phones.

Unfortunately from my experiences and other people's experiences downgrading to Kitkat after Lollipop with data issues, you will still have those data issues when you go back to Kitkat. It seems going back to Kitkat via KDZ or TOT does not restore the modem or it does but the modem still does not function correctly. The only way to fix LTE and data issues was to flash Blisspop 2.3 and determining that data sticks on that rom. If it does, your data and modem issues should be resolved and you can use stock lollipop again. If you want to try this route here is my thread on how to fix it. Make sure you are rooted with twrp

Yes and No flashing blisspop rom will just fixed your data and LTE issues, I'm not telling you to keep the rom, that is entirely up to you. Yes keeping custom roms that are not stock will lose wifi calling and all the tmobile stuff. After you can confirm that LTE and data works you can then flash back to stock or restore to stock. That way you can still have Wifi calling and have a stock rom.
