Ever since around the 4th my 4g has been acting up like crazy. I live in Hollywood so I don't think it's a verizon issue. Has anyone else been having problems? I'm thinking maybe it was from an app update with a glitch in it? My phone is totally stock but I have around 400 apps (I know, too many, I can't help it...) I've gone through all of the app permissions looking for an app that can change my network connections but no luck so far. I know this is kind of a shot in the dark but if anyone else had this happen and figured it out that would be great. I'm open to suggestions.

The My Verizon App was recently updated (and removed the homescreen widget, so I didn't update mine), so that might have something to do with the problem.
Does 3G work fine?
I have been having this same problem, so is a friend on another device. When we switch to 3g, 4g never returns unless airplane mode is cycled.
My my verizon app is up to date but I still have the data widget. I haven't updated the "location agent" one though. I'm not sure about the 3g working...the 4g symbol just comes and goes so fast I don't think the phone has time to switch onto 3g. It doesn't happen 24/7 but when it does it's like a non stop cycle of on and off (like an app struggling to do something)..

So my daughter just recorded a 10 min video on its a small world. Next time I check my phone I have no 3 or 4 g just bars. I don't think anything of it until I'm elsewhere and my wife has 4g and I don't. I cycle my 4g widgetsoid and get service. Screen off and on and no Vs again. Airplane mode, same problem. Finally I put it in airplane, powered it off and did a battery pull. It's fine now.
I've tried turning the phone off, fully restarting it, pulling the battery, and cycling through airplane mode but I haven't tried pulling the battery off after powering down while in airplane mode though (that was a mouthful). Maybe that's the magic combination... I'll give it a shot and see what happens, thanks. I'll post if it helps out or not.

Had the same issue sporadically. Only app I've added since then is Firefox beta but seriously doubt that is to blame.
Actually had this issue this morning for a bit, then resolved on its own.
I have been having the issue of my 4g randomly dropping, 3g not kicking on (just signal bars), and the 4g coming back when it feels like it.
I did a battery pull, cycling the 4g, airplane mode, etc. and still having the same issue.
This started around Verizon's useless upgrade.

So far so good since I did a battery pull and let my phone fully boot while in airplane mode... Only time will tell..

I haven't had 4g since I rooted....so I am a little worried...
I also have had the worst 4g service the past week or so. I have a htc rezound and live in the suburbs of Detroit, MI. I have tried everything under the sun but cannot get it working. This is obviously a Verizon issue, because it started happening out of nowhere. I didn't download any nee apps or change any system settings. I don't understand why this is happening. I do not want a refurbed phone so I will not send mine in for a replacement. I'm sure that wouldn't even fix the issue. Verizon needs to get to work and figure this out.

My 4G is fine and I'm rooted and running a custom ROM (Ineffabilis 1.4).
Have you checked if 4G is enabled in your settings?
(Search for 4G toggle in the Play Store)
Some people reported that their phone disabled 4G in the settings for no reason.
Everything was fine for a couple days then all of a sudden it started acting up again...I have a feeling it's the new draw something free app...maybe..

Lol apps do NOT cause data to cease or "hang". It appears to be Verizon as I have been having 4g issues on stock gb and ics.

Same issues here (multiple ROMs). 4G has been sporadic or non-responsive and 3G is about as bad. Started a couple weeks ago. I have tried hard resets, ROMs, firmware updates, etc and nothing.
Good to see I'm not the only one.
Any other Verizon devices that can confirm this?

Ok, so I've had the issue that the OP is talking about since I got the phone like 5 days ago. Since I wasn't rooted (and still aren't) I decided to call Verizon about the issue. I've talked to multiple Verizon techs and after they had me do basic steps, like checking wireless networks settings. Nothing they told me I hadn't tried myself already prior to calling them. I even got a replacement BRAND NEW rezound and sim card and am still having the same issue. I have decided to try and figure it out myself and have been running various logcats to try and narrow the issue down. Problem is I don't really know how to read these logs too well. If there was someone who has more knowledge in reading logcat logs id be happy to upload or send them to you if you think you can help. Any help in resolving this issue would be awesome as Verizon seems to be unaware of the issue up until now and I would like to resolve it before I root. I'm going to give them a call tonight and explain some of my findings to see if they can give anymore input or get me to a higher lvl tech.

According to my findings, it very well could be. I'm thinking it may have something to do with vznavigator. But don't quote me on that as from what I said before, I don't know how to read logcats too well.

Yeah I'm still having issues. There must be something going on with verizon? I haven't dealt with logging yet but I'll look into it and see what happens.

Ever since about May when Verizon pushed an update out, my WiFi functionality has gone completely down the ****ter. I will describe my symptoms to you.
If I connect to a known WiFi network, I can connect to it if I am in the same room. However, the moment I step into a different room I loose my WiFi icon on the status bar and if you go into your WiFi settings it will say "Authentication error". When you tap it to reconnect to it, sometimes it will bring up the password entry page and presume to say "Authentication error", sometimes it will do nothing.
The moment you walk back into the same room again, though, you have to open the WiFi settings but once you do it will connect back and say so at the bottom of the screen.
I have read that lots of people experience this only after a certain Verizon update, like me. I have gone as far as to load the original factory .tar file that Verizon first used, before any OTA updates applied.
There are numerous accounts of this problem relating to my specific model, multiple responses from Verizon reps on the Verizon forums, Samsung responses on there forums, and I have still not seen any kind of actual fix.
Is there some sort of remedy for this? I want to sell this phone soon, but not in this condition.

I also have a weird issue. I can't connect to any 2.4GHz networks at all. I have no problems connecting to 5GHz networks though.

It's crazy man. When did it start for you?

I just noticed a few weeks ago when I tried connecting to someone's wifi and it just wouldn't. I did notice when I first got my phone that the speed on my 2.4GHz network on the phone was very slow, so I just used my 5GHz network. But now it won't even connect to any 2.4GHz networks at all. It sees the networks but just won't connect. It is a verizon refurbished so probably gonna have to unroot, return to stock, call and get another refurbished unit. Just didn't want to go through the hassle of there was a fix for it.

It's a known issue with the Note 2. I restored my phone back to stock, unrooted, did a factory reset, and still had the issue. So I called verizon and they said it's a known issue that lots of people have called in about. They are sending me a replacement, which I should receive tomorrow. I'd recommend doing the same.
I had to do the same just yesterday, so my replacement should get here in two days.

Got my replacement today and connected no problem!

Man you guys are lucky. I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue.... Maybe my wireless is just ****ed. It really sucks because my warranty is expired and it didn't happen until after that...

You might be able to add the monthly warranty and swap it out

Recently my note has been randomly loosing connection with the network. I can not send or recieve texts, calls or data. I have changed ROMs, went back to stock, changed radios, and kernals. No luck, the problem remains. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Did you pay your bill?
Did it get wet, dropped, or damaged?
Do other at&t phone's work where your not getting signal?
Good question but, yes I paid my bill, and yes others are getting connection, no never gotten wet. I am at a loss. I don't know of anything else to try.

Ueah, I agree with the dropping idea. The antenna module can be jarred loose by a hard impact.
Hi,
I am just wondering if a lot of people on Sprint has experienced a lot of unpredictable drop calls and unstable call quality?
I tried updating the phone, exchanging the phone, but the problem is still there. Is this a common defect for this specific phone? Or this is just Sprint network creating the problem?

Most likely the network. This phone has been rock solid for me!
It has to be the network in your area...I use my phone anywhere from 5-10 thousand minutes a month. .. if I had any of those problems this phone would have gone back within a week. ... it's been very solid though.

On the original firmware and modem I dropped 85%of calls. Then the next update mi5 got barely better. Mj4 had been much better,it still drops calls at least a couple times a day. I dropped more calls in one day on the note 3 then I did the entire time combined on my note 2.
I get 4-5 bars anywhere in my house. Mind you, I'm like 500 feet from a tower. (If they throw LTE on this tower, I'm set...)
I sometimes rock on full bars. 3G is also super strong. (2mbp/s on CDMA 3g? Not too bad)
But generally speaking, My Note 3 has none of these issues. Sprint is known for their voice clarity. Note 3 enforces this.

MI3 original firmware on the phone had that problem the last 2 updates MI5 and MJ4 they don't have that issue.... Try doing a ##72786# so you can get the signal refresh

I tried that already. But the call quality is still really unstable. Now I really don't know what to do. Perhaps I should exchange the phone to Galaxy s4?

Considering your problem is probably the Sprint tower in your area, you would most likely be spinning your wheels. Take your phone to your local Sprint dealer to see if they can suggest anything. If they can't help you, try a different carrier if the problem persists.
I've had issues where I place a call and there is no tone or anything, however the recipient's phone rings like normal, but when answering can't hear anything either.. I'm kinda of disappointed with call issues on this phone, because otherwise it's a beast.

Trying to isolate the problem to see if its my phone, the ROM, or router. I had no problems before I flashed. It seems like I randomly drop my network and it doesn't want to reconnect without a reboot. LTE also is very intermittent, sometimes going from 4 bars to none or dropping to 3G without even moving. Its been getting very annoying and has been dropping calls lately. Has anyone else noticed this. Is it a carbon issue, a CyanogenMod one? If so does. Anyone know any good gpe based ROMs as an alternative?

Typically Wifi issues phone wise are kernel related if the kernel for example uses different drivers. Cellular issues are typically related to the Radio. ROM itself should not greatly affect radio signal nor Wifi.
