2 more months until I can dump this POS Note 3. I'm about done with this thing.....too many issues since launch day. **** for camera, spontaneous reboots, now can't even make a damn phone call or send/receive text messages half the time. Utter crap.

I've done some more sleuthing on this since Verizon isn't any help. Basically, no matter what my signal strength indicators show, as SOON as I start or receive a voice call, my signal rapidly deteriorates. As SOON as I hang up on the call, my signal returns back to where it was. This includes...

Here's another source of links for you...good info in that thread also, worth a read. You'll want the Odin Flashable Modem TAR's linked first. [Firmware][Collection] Modems, Stock Tars [C… | Verizon Galaxy Note 3 | XDA Forum

I've tried all the radios now, from MI9 to NC4. In general, I've got the best voice experience on MI9 but my WiFi flakes out all the time...which if I recall was an issue with the Note 3 at release. It just won't hold a Wifi signal. Second best for me has been MJ7 and MJE a narrow third. NC2...

I had the reboot issue with my first two Note 3's. In my case, it was a bad battery that eventually was isolated as the culprit...they replaced the phones but not the battery. Might want to make sure yours is a tight fit against the contacts. I've no idea what the real issue here is. But...

We can't rule out that Verizon is actually working on this issue and is updating towers or infrastructure software and that's helping as well. However, I've reverted all the way back to MI9 which shipped when this phone first released and I'm back to solid voice signal. In fact, today I...

Interesting. For the record, my issue after KK upgrade was primarily voice. Often times when I hear people complain about radio strength its hard to discern if they are talking about data speeds, voice quality or both. For me, I was having both issues, but the constant dropped calls and...

Out of curiosity...you said your DATA is solid on KitKat. I never really had data issues on NC4. As can be seen by the image I posted, I'd still have 3-4 bars 4G signal and data would work just fine. It was voice that didn't work. That tends to indicate something in the radio and/or tower is...

Followed the link provided earlier. Downloaded Odin 3, reverted my modem/radio firmware back to MJE. I _INSTANTLY_ shot up to 5 bars where I'd be in 1X or 3G signal, same as I had PRIOR to upgrade to Kit Kat. Clearly there's something going on in Verizon's update with certain tower...

Problems all over city in my home town, problems in other cities (I travel weekly). This all started with Kit Kat upgrade. I've seen a post over on another forum about downgrading my baseband back to MJE. I'm currently on NC4. Apparently, everyone else experiencing this problem has found it...

Cleared cache, factory reset phones multiple times....and they've replaced SIM and phone 3 times now. Still having issues.

Well at least I don't feel quite so alone any longer. Note 3 stock on Verizon with KK. I'm greeted with this almost two dozen times per day. Note my signal strength indicator. And the "Safe Mode" icon. I've tried everything...on my third phone now.

On my second replacement N3 from Verizon. Both came with Kit Kat pre-installed. This is now my third N3 running Kit Kat. All three keep dropping voice calls. All three will go sometimes for an hour where I try to dial someone and it will say "No Mobile Network Available." Leaving phone in...

Currently talking with Verizon Tier 2 tech support. I put my phone into Safe mode after the reset and have been running it that way for a couple of days. Phone would go from 4 bars 4G to dropped call several times while on the phone with tech support. The signal metrics are all over the map...

^^ A factory reset in my experience DID help alleviate it somewhat, but not entirely. I've been monitoring my signal strength pretty religiously and there appears to be no "sliding scale" any longer. I'm either entirely on 4G or I get nothing. No data, no voice, nothing. I do occasionally...
