A weird one this.

On my stock Note 3 with 4.3 firmware, everytime I boot up, I get this sequence

Splash screen and music play
Lock screen appears and I see the network bars appear
Bang - back to splash screen again
Lock screen appears and it seems to have lost the network
Bang - back to splash screen again
Lock screen appears and I see the network bars appear again.....

Sometimes it does one further cycle of this but eventually it settles down. If I boot up in airplane mode, then there are no repeats of the splash screen.

Any idea what is upsetting my Note 3?

I believe those are often timing-generated glitches related to mounting EFS and/or to SELinux / knox. I have seen similar a few times, in my case usually after a new Wanam Xposed + changes in more advanced settings there.

IMHO you should be more worried if that happens every single time.
