About a month ago I had issue with phone stuck on HFA. Several great people offer help to try to fix issue. Could never get problem to go away.. sent to Samsung since Knox was 0x0 and sent same phone back notes said they just flashed software.. I got it and ran good till 2 days ago.. my text wouldn't send. Everything else worked fine.. voice and data and apps.. so did the prl and profile update like sprint asked me to .. then text worked but no data... decided to do factory reset.. then issue was couldn't sign in to google(data not provisioned ).. after talking to sprint and Google they said not sure how to fix it.. only solution that worked was roll back to NAB everything working.. anyone else experience anything like this? Phone out of warranty like 3 days wondering if I should try to get a replacement or is a NC5 software issue
I would ask how's it going but here we are again. Lol I remember that, and have to say NC5 has not had that many issues. So, it ran good for about a month, then would not send a text ? Did Sprint say anything about working on a cell tower ? Nothing was changed, added, or deleted prior to it not working ? Try going to settings/connections/more networks/mobile networks/network mode/ and make sure it is on LTE/CDMA not automatic. Also when you update your PRL you have to completely power down, and then reboot the device for the PRL update to take effect I know it says update successful but that don't mean it has been applied to the device. If you go back to NC5 from NAB again your have update your PRL example : I updated to 4.4.4 today to check and see if Nh7 has a flash counter, which it does, so I went back to 4.4.2 NC5, after about 3 flashes I finally got NC5 back to official status, and than tried to download an app from Google Play it said no connection retry so I updated my PRL and rebooted the device, and my 4G LTE started working again. Where were you when it quit working ? Where you on the road out town ? If you leave town you should update your PRL it is supposed to do it automatically, but doesn't always happen.

Well I was at work and no issues got home and I got a text when I tried to reply it would not send.. I could only receive . So my 1st thought was towers since I had issues with tower close to my house several times.. after asking sprint said network was good my gf. Gs3 had no issues either .. so then tried prl and profile updates that would make my text work but my data would drop.. after a restart text would fail but data worked.. after talking to sprint and google.. ( they blamed it on rooted since they can see what apps u buy) titanium... but after going back to NAB all issues gone.. I am currently back on NC5 did a full un root version and will see. Guessing it's a NC5 issue or hardware
Ok, sounds like software, here is what I would do. Go to micmars here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 and get his NC5. Now back up all your data i.e. pics, music, etc. to a ext sd card or PC desktop. Go ahead to do a factory reset. Next with odin on your PC flash a fresh copy of NC5. Now this is the IMPORTANT PART check your download mode screen should look like this :
Both lines at official status, sometimes you end up custom and official, so if not boot into your stock recovery, and use the device keys and do a factory reset again. Then odin flash a fresh copy of NC5 again. I know it seems like a lot of B.S. but I call it taking out the trash, you need to get back to stock square one. Boot it up see if the issues are gone, if so odin flash a recovery here is the link for Philz CWM 6.12.9 hltespr its bulletproof https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hltespr/ then root your device here is the link for SupSu v 1.94 http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ Now if everything is working with no issues, make a backup so you can always restore back to a working OS. Let me know how it goes ?
Will rather stay on NAB or NC5 for little bit more.. warranty runs out in a week if new or old issues happen will root and break Knox to get custom rom.. only reason staying on stock was my warranty.. I was just curious to see if anyone had encounter issues like me.. also upgrading to note 4 in few weeks 
Cool, been thinking about an LG G3 myself. Definitely not as many features as Note 4, but more of a pure android OS. The main features of the G3 is no KNOX, little to no bloatware, will run under water, and a removable battery.Will rather stay on NAB or NC5 for little bit more.. warranty runs out in a week if new or old issues happen will root and break Knox to get custom rom.. only reason staying on stock was my warranty..

Yea wish Samsung would make the bloatware optional.. and Knox also LG3 does look sweet also
