Hi guys,
I've been tethering my phone to a windows laptop via usb for about a month now with no problems. However, because of the lack of support for usb tethering on the mac, I'm forced to use wifi tethering with my mac.
The issue is that wifi tethering keeps disabling its self every so often (maybe 20 mins)
I have the international s3 with the latest available ota update.
Any suggestions?

I've noticed similar behavior myself. Seems to turn itself off when nothing is connected on mine. Haven't used it enough to know the details of the behaviour though.
Mind you I'm using a firmware from six weeks ago, so a lot could have been fixed in the builds/updates since. I figure it has been fixed because I've not seen any other reports of the bug.

Go to portable hotspot settings, hit the menu button then timeout settings, hit never timeout (or a time)

Brilliant. I hoped it might be something like that. Let's hope that solves it, thanks!

LOL. I never though of a menu there too. I feel pretty ashamed of myself right now. But, I was spot on on the timeout though
Thanks!

Yup, this was indeed the issue. Timeout removed and I managed to successfully sit there browsing for a few hours last night.

When I press home button there is like 1 second timeout before homescreen is opened. I never noticed the same timeouts on any other android handsets. Is it done for purpose? And could it be disabled, so that home button work imidiatly?
I believe this is caused by S Voice. The home button launch can be disabled in the app itself.

Doesn't really help, I've disabled mine and noticed no difference.

So, looks like I'am not the only one confused by this behaviour...
No its known and happened on s2 also, disabling s voice helps a lot but if you flash cm9 you will see it reacts instantly

Disabling s-voice really helped. Thanks!
For some reason, the time in the notification bar does not update unless I go into the lock screen and come back. Anyone else have this problem? Anything I can do to fix this?

I had to wipe cache. Then it worked. I kept trying to set alarms but they would never go off. Then I notice that the clock wouldn't change unless I unlocked screen.

How do I clear cache... Im not rooted. This really drives me crazy and has made me late a couple of times already. Clock doesn't change until I turn the screen off.

I don't believe this is a Note 2 problem. I noticed today and on numerous occasions in the past 6 months my Thunderbolt has been doing this as well. It'll get stuck at a certain hour and won't update until after I start messing with the phone again.
It might be a network problem my boyfriends iPhone time gets stuck sometimes he's on Verizon if that helps?

Thank you but never mind I'm retarded needed to simply restart it working fine now.

I cleared cache which obviously made me restart the phone and now it's working fine. That was weird. l hope it doesn't happen again.

So this is probably a dumb question but I have nevr had it happen before. My DNA the last couple days intermittently has been showing the 3g icon even while I'm connected to WiFi. I'm not sure but is that a bad thing or not?

If you send or receive a MMS while on WiFi your data will come on for a second or 2

Thank you. I honestly wasn't aware of that. And I was sending a panorama photo I had just taken around that time. Good to know.

I have the same thing happening but it's on 4G and 3G sometimes, usually it doesn't show any data transmission but just seems to stay on doing nothing for several minutes. Mine does stay on until I shut off my mobile network and when I turn the mobile network back on it stays off. With no text messages or anything going through.
I have been seeing this issue with my phone for 3 days. I will connect to my home wifi and it will have a strong signal in my room. But then randomly it will disconnect and then reconnect and it disrupts me if I'm using my wifi. It does this often. I'm going to go stream some music in another part of my house and see if it cuts out there or of it only does it in my room I'm not sure right now. But does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do so it stops doing this.

So I think I got this figured out. I recently changed the security on my router to WPA/PSK and this is when my dna started acting up. I temporarily removed the security key and now it's not doing it. I guess I will throw a WEP key on and see if it disconnects and reconnects.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Ok looks like I solved my own problem. I changed my security to WEP and it has stopped disconnecting. I guess the dna just doesn't get along with WPA/PSK or at least mine doesn't.

It seems to be router specific. I have 2 routers in my house. Both are wpa, one will drop out from time to time on my and the other one doesnt.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Well it's working now so I'm all set. I saw some posts on a verizon forum of people having the exact same problem with WPA. So yeah probably just my router.

Ok so kinda hard to explain.. but I have a Note 3 from Sprint - unrooted and just plane stock..
I like it and enjoying it..
I noticed the other day something strange.. then I thought.. I saw this a few times on my Galaxy S2....
when you turn my phone on it has the default red background to swipe...
With my phone sitting there every now and then I notice it turns itself on and gives a totally different screen...
this is just more of a why is it doing it and has anyone seen it before...
I seen it to but I think much of it
