glad to see you still grinding away at this... i have faith...you will get this.... not been on much...real busy at the shop.(been getting 8-9 notes or nexus' a week that the sim pins are broken and need repaired) thats on top of the every day mayhem... its nice to be one of a very few that can do that repair..lol

again nice to see you still on this... if i can help you in any way...just shout..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gedster314:
How are these people damaging sim pins? I use a couple different micro sim adapters and have been playing with dual sim adapters and I have not managed to bend the pins. I do remember the first time I played with a sim adapter and it got stuck but just fed a thin piece of plastic between the pins and the micro sim+adapter and slid all three out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kawgirlval69:
theres probably many reasons..(think ive heard most..lol) there are some really cheap micro sim adapters that are a bit thicker than a std sim and they seem to grab the pins and poof they break... ive recommended the thin plastic on here in the sim pin thread to help but most dont think of it being a pin grabbing the adapter.. they think its stuck and the first thought usually to most that dont understand how these work just pull it out and pop goes the pins... i recommend to my customers to use an old sim as a blank.. they bring it to me and i cut it with my sim cutter.. just a tad bit of light filing and they fit perfect...

i get plenty of iphones this way too when they use the gevey trays....

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Administr4tor:
please can someone tell me how to enable 1700/2100mhz tmobile frequency on n7000 phone? this phone supports GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz UMTS: 850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz

Thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Confirmed not working

Does NOT work...

I just went down to my local T-Mobile store to try popping in a T-Mo SIM card to see if enabling the 1700MHZ band via the service menu (*#197328640#), forced the phone to search for UMTS/HSPA+, and it found... nothing... nothing at all.

Sorry guys... :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
By default it doesn't work. Many other folks have tried this already. =)

The modem.bin needs to be modified. From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like we have any developer who is talented enough to figure this out. I guess I'll wait for the next 5.3 inch phone to come along that'll sport T-Mobile bands.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] StarTAC Fan:
With regard to the antenna issue, that "teardown" thread which kickstarted this one ought to be able to provide the answer.

Smartphone antennas often look like thin flat sheets. Smartphone "diversity" antennas, which support multiple frequencies, may be a single sheet with multiple wires.

Frequencies are proportional to wavelength. Wavelength affects how long the antenna ought to be. It should be 1/2 wavelength. 1700 megahertz corresponds to about 176.36 mm. So the antenna length ought to be a tick over 88 mm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
I doubt it has got much to do with talent - probably more to do with that even foir $1000, it probably isn't worth it!

The TMo US version of the original Galaxy Tab couldn't make phone calls out of the box, but swapping the modem over for a Euro modem.bin make voice calls possible, at the cost of 3G data. So, in this case you had the original modem.bin that had 3G but no voice, and the Euro modem.bin that had voice but no 3G (2G/EDGE only).

Despite a similar bounty thread, no one was able to work out how to modify one or the other modem.bin to support both voice and 3G simultaneously, and this would likely have been an easier task than trying to enable 1700/2100AWS on the Note where there is no known modem.bin for the Note that supports it in any form.

Remember there is no source code for the modem, so you're dealing in pure machine code and will mostly be restricted to hex editing the file. Without something else to work with, you could end up spending weeks of trial and error trying to work out the changes that would be required to support AWS, and even then it is possible that even if the chipset supports the required frequencies, the amplifiers and antennae do not.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alishawkat:
Dammit... I really want the device but up here in Canada my carrier only uses 1700/2100. If I were to switch to another carrier I'd get raped in fees.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vandam500:
Darn, I was excited when I saw this thread. I have been doing a lot of researching and the Galaxy Note is the device that I want. Being stuck on edge is a deal breaker though :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sims0268:
Its not too bad using this with edge. Where I live, I can only get edge with Tmobile unless I drive 30 miles to Reno, then the 4g kicks in. I really wanted the device and knew when I got it, it may never get 3g/4g. I was surly hoping though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] guitarplayerone:
I forget who posted this, but after realizing that this all has to be coded in assembly I can see why absolutely nobody would want to code this file.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
The Note does support 2100, just not 1700...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Croak:
And his carrier uses the same AWS freq as T-Mobile, if it's WINDed or Mobiletown, so 2100 doesn't help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] B2L:
It's sad that this probably won't happen. I'm currently using my Note on edge with Tmobile. It's not all that bad, I just need faster data. So it looks like I'll be switching to AT&T at the end of the month, but I have no idea where to start since I know AT&T doesn't like to let unlocked phones on their network. Well that is unless I sign a contract with them, which I refuse to do.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
AT&T may not like having to allow unlocked devices on their network, because they can't exhibit as much control over them as they would like. That said, in order to remain GSM compliant, they have no other choice but to allow compatible unlocked devices on their network, whether they like it or not.

If you don't want to be locked into a contract with AT&T, I can't say I blame you. If I were you, I'd try going the GoPhone route. You can get unlimited everything for about $50 a month, pay-as-you-go. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] legion1911:
I have sympathy for your problems with your carrier.

I suggest you take a 3g/wlan router.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] seed2:
Im willing to pitch in 20$ for this, so please dev's help us out and enable the 1700mhz band on this awesome device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
This will never happen. Best you not waste time hoping that it might. The amount of work that needs to be done on this for one individual person is not worth any amount of dollars that can be contributed by a bunch of forum peeps.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cactoes Gel:
I believe in you devs. Please keep trying. I really want this phone.

I'll put in another $50 FWIW. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LetsGoToWarr:
Man if this phone had 3G I'd truly love it until then its just an expensive toy to me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SladeNoctis:
Sadly i beleive this is only possible only the newest Note that about to come out(At&t, Bell, Roger, etc) They have similar specs hardware wise to the GS2 in Tmo and At&t. I think its might just take a simple modem flash for those types of Notes but the lose is that you wont get the exynos Note that everybody adores.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] itsjusttim:
If its that easy I'm all over it. Let's hope so.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
I feel sorry for you peeps living in that weird country where every operator needs their own frequencies.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SladeNoctis:
I hope so too, there are some specs listing differently for the Canadian models listing 1.4ghz while the At&t model is the 1.5ghz which is the exact same processer in the Tmo GS2 and same specs as well. I guess we'll have to wait and see. But im interested if its possible to just simply flash the modem use 3G on Tmobile which works in the case of the Skyrocket and Tmo GS2 i wonder if other similar spec'd phones with LTE will do the same. Such as the Sony Ion.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] itsjusttim:
I'm hoping its as easy as a modem flash. I would be willing to change my int version for an at&t version then.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cactoes Gel:
So you're using GNote on T-Mobile? I'm so desperate to get this phone I'm willing to sacrifice using just EDGE. How bad is it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] itsjusttim:
I will be receiving my int Galaxy Note sometime next week, hopefully. And have tried other phone on edge and its awful!

I much prefer the int. Hardware but having actual 3g is much more important to me. I'm also OK, with the weaker processor as its been heavily oc on the Hercules (1.83).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cactoes Gel:
Forgive me, I'm a lil confused. The intl version only works on EDGE on T-Mo doesn't it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] itsjusttim:
Yes, but the At&t version... that's coming out on the 19th is very similar to the At&t Skyrocket / T-Mobile Hercules hardware wise, so there is a small possibility that 'unlocking' T-Mobile 3g could be as simple as flashing a Hercules radio/ modem.

Make sense?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cactoes Gel:
Got it! In that case, I'll wait till after the ATT Note comes out before I decide which one to get. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] itsjusttim:
As soon as I get mine, I'll let you and everyone on here know. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xero187:
Made the switch to the deathstar a week ago and while I must say the international Note is excellent hardware, AT&T sucks.

I abandoned Tmobile which had been quite speedy across most of the country where 3g was accessible for some slow ass AT&T wannabe hspa+ network.

Think hard and long before abandoning Tmobile for this phone.

As for myself... I'm predicting an evacution of the deathstar perhaps sooner than later for me.

AT&T is expensive for what you get.

Averaging I'd say 1.5mbps down and .8mbps up (roughly)

Should've known it'd be stupid to jump on a network loaded with iDorks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Have you followed my guide in this forum about getting your Note working optimally on AT&T? If you haven't you should look into that and see if there are any improvements.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ursubpar:
I think i may have found a fix for 1700mhz data.

I cannot guarantee that voice will work since I'm taking the modem from the tmobile galaxy tab 7.0 plus.

Gimme 30min to an hour, i'll post the link to something you can flash in CWM.

I don't have a note to test on so who's gonna try? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
Does the 7.0 Tab Plus have the exynos processor? If not, you're likely wasting your time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] itsjusttim:
It does
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
Then it's worth a shot but I would suggest someone who is well-versed in swapping modem files try it (if he is willing).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ursubpar:
Alrighty here.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27063885/Notemodem-TMOUS.zip

Flash it through cwm and remember to set your APN's

after flashing check to see that the baseband says something along the lines of "T869UVKL2"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] itsjusttim:
Can someone try this please? I have an int Note coming my way and I am trading it for a At&t note because of lack of T-Mobile 3g, if this works I won't trade.

I am connected to edge, is there a setting where I need to enable 1700mhz or should it just work?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ursubpar:
What does baseband say under about phone?

also you should try to enable 1700mhz under the the service menu found bytyping

*#2263# in dialer.

P.S. remember to check in network settings that "use 2G networks only" is unchecked or a "use GSM only" setting is turned off.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tanman21:
It says T869uvkl2

I also have a working T-mobile and ATT sim card.

I can confirm I am still connecting to ATT 3g.

Tmobile is showing up as edge - I am going to have to drive down the street, as I think my tmobile 3g signal is not good enouth at my home.

So I didn't see anyone post this but I have a galaxy note on T-mobile US and something weird happened recently. Every now and then and this seems to depend on location I get an H instead of an E, and I do very much notice a difference in internet speeds when I see it. When I put in my code and check the network it still shows the 1700mHz as unchecked. Im not sure why it happens, but hoping it might help someone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
This is probably due to the fact that T-Mobile has been rolling out 1900mhz 3G service in some areas.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kotaro_14:
I think there will be more areas with 850/1900Mhz for TMO b/c T-Mobile has acquired $1 BILLION worth of Spectrum from ATT due to the fail merger.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skillz9669:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btyork:
A little research confirms that T-Mobile is rolling out a 1900mhz 3g/4g network. Our notes will indeed work on these networks by default (no modem.bin hacking) along with the iPhone (as many users on the west coast are already reporting.)

This was a strategic move on T-Mobile's part, as most OEM phones are now coming around with the 1900mhz frequency (including the iPhone.)

This also appears to be a last ditch effort to avoid committing to LTE.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DrG:
Negri Electronics is selling an unlocked version of the Note for Bell Canada that has 1700/2100 HSPA bands. Does anyone own this and can confirm it will work with T-Mo?

I'm curious about this too
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] frenzy757:
Me too....

if this works on Tmo, I might have found me new phone!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kotaro_14:
This is because it is a pentaband phone, it uses the same internals as the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and the Galaxy S II for TMOUS. So, yes it will work on TMOUS 3G/4G.

P.S: If you didn't know you can flash the Skyrocket's and TMOUS Hercules(GS2) roms vice-versa and they'll work on each other.
