yea lo, only for LTE, i suspect those having h or h+ disappearing is due to bad signal and the connection keep changing between LTE/H/H+/E

Yup when i am out of LTE area, i usually change to WCDMA only. tongue.gif Dun like seeing E/G. Why got no option to choose LTE/WCDMA only. sad.gif

Same here bro, I also don't like to see the E/G icon. But I hardly find a place with more than 3 bars of LTE connection hmm.gif

The tracking chip is only help to reduce power consumption when connected to 4G. But if coverage is bad it will still suck our battery as it constantly searching for network.

If Nexus 5 do not have security lock like Knox or Gate, its well worth considering. Why not? I will be tempted. brows.gif

In support of what antt00 and a few others said, samsung stock rom on the note phablets are streamlined and tweaked already and now note in its 3rd generation is really convenient for many functions especially s pen use.

All we really need is root access. Samsung should allow rooting with no penalty. Custom roms are quite a different matter and it can lead to problems because most drivers are proprietary on all mobile platforms.

Root + xposed framework is plenty good for self tweaking and enhancements. Now if only manufacturers could provide a backup nandroid function in stock recovery will be perfect. Much like what most pc makers provide for a recovery partition or some app that backs up your stuff before a wipe.

I agree on this. Previously we flash custom ROM is because there are too many custom mods or customization are tied to custom ROM. But now with Xposed framework + Wanam, there any many things we can do without flashing custom ROM.

I'm having the same issue, I believe it's more got to do with software rather than hardware issue, or issue with Maxis connection in my area itself coz certain area i wont have the same issue. For temporary fix I'm using Tasker to periodically enable mobile data while display off, which is same timing for my other Tasker profile, auto wifi check (so it can disable mobile data when it is connected to known wifi ap). Of course this will introduce additional wakelocks, but its very minimal compared to other service.
*
erm...will give it a try.

i'm using Maxis too but this wouldn't happened when i using iPhone 5 and Xperia Z previously.

I also encounter this issue myself.  Not every place or area though as tarm mentioned. I still not sure what caused that to happened. At times even though the data icon is off but I would still receive background notification from whatsapp or email or fb.

Maybe I would try the Tasker method and see if it improve the situation or not..

Mine one worst. When there is no data icon, no notification will come in at all cry.gif

This is the tasker profile that i use:

State: Display off
+
Timer: every 15 min
Task:
Mobile Data on, If %WIFI ~ off

Im not sure if its the right way coz im still new with Tasker as well but so far no problem yet with mobile data disconnect while sleep

Press menu key > insert smiley

However you are only able to insert the smiley into message app, other apps like whatsapp you won't be able to insert the smiley.

Wah..that's a serious drainage. No network you mean is totally no coverage at all even at 2G option?

Regarding the wifi, I encounter this issue before those days when I changed the router setting. Any setting you have changed before in your router?
*
Yes, no coverage. I'm always on WCDMA and I think it may have for EDGE but anyway made a mistake, shouldn't have switched off my router or once I did, should have just switched off my phone. laugh.gif

QUOTE(ionStorm @ Oct 21 2013, 08:14 AM)
Weak signals do not affect this phone much thanks to the new envelope tracking chip. At my workplace, I usually have 1 bar signal 4G and sometimes flitting between H and E. I can go through a whole morning without much drain. I also use auto-sync with no WiFi.

Something else is draining your battery.
*
No, it is the signal issue and nothing else.
I was connected to WiFi all the time and the battery hardly drains, maybe the whole night only 3%.
Just that yesterday, I switched off my router before I went to bed and it was on mobile data, then it started to drain the whole night. I did use it while I was on bed and the connection kept going offline and online non-stop. Made a mistake, should have just switched off my phone. sleep.gif

Anyway, I'm always on WCDMA as DiGi has no LTE yet for its mobile data.

Now I'm in a better coverage in KL, battery hardly drains. The moment I left home this morning (5.30 a.m.) until now, only dropped 4% with some light usage in between.
