yeah, i've had the note 3 for months now and this JUST started, and i haven't received any updates so it leads me to think it's an issue with the towers. however, i don't think my wife's s3 has had the issue AND i have wifi isuues with my note 3 so maybe it is the phone. i have to say, overall, the note 3 doesn't really impress me. i had none of these problems with my note 2.
