[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btyork:
It is likely the same Note that AT&T is coming out with. Unbranded and using a qualcomm-snapdragon processor.

Age old dilemma for t-mobile customers... give up 3g for a better processor or not? I'm currently using the international version on t-mobile, but only because I spend a lot of time on Wi-Fi. While I enjoy the uni-button feel it offers, should I ever need 3g for extended periods of time, I'd consider one of these.

It is worth noting that T-Mobile is in the process of rolling out a 1900mhz 3g network - which the Note (and iPhones) support.

It's also worth noting that our notes show signs of being able to utilize the 1700mhz frequency. It could be as simple as modifying a modem.bin or as complicated as creating a new one. I've done some minimal tests and came to the same conclusions reached by others... When selected, the 1700mhz frequency doesn't seem to be active, and instead you are left with no data connection.

No - Currently there are no ICS builds for the Skyrocket or Hercules. It's (fairly) safe to say the international note will receive ICS long before the Snapdragon couterparts do.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BiGMERF:
is the canadian version full of carrier bloat or is bare touchwiz like the international ?

If it was a simple modem.bin hack someone would have claimed this bounty already. The modem.bin has to be rewritten.

Any update on the Canadian note working on tmo 3g?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skillz9669:
So i did the *#0011# and that is wuat i got on screen, i also included a speed test showing im on t-mobile and have 3g connection. I dont know if this helps anyone or not but i have definitely been getting 3g in many areas, not my house though :-(.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
You're lucky to be living in an area where they have the 1900mhz band being rolled out. Sucks that NY will get very little to none of that action.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] n25philly:
You sure? We're already getting spots of the coverage here in the Philly Suburbs. I heard they are trying to upgrade everything by next summer. Yeah, that's obviously a bit off, but upgrades in your area could come anytime between now and then.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dkotoric:
hey guys wouldn't we be able to use the ATT Galaxy note on tmobile bc it uses 1700Mhz for LTE. People on the Skyrocket forums were able to get 3g working by just flashing a tmobile radio.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DrG:
I just received an email from Sergio from Negri electronics. They stated that the Bell version will not work on T-Mobile 3/4G despite having the appropriate bands for HSPA. I wonder if the bands are really there as listed and the proper radio needs to be flashed. I had my hopes up...oh well.

I'll snag a modem.bin over the weekend and see if it's the 6260 chip from the G-Nex as I suspect it is and try to work with you guys on some sort of hex edit. If it works here, then it'll work with the tab 7.7 as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dkotoric:
sweet can't wait please let me know cause if I can hook this bad boy on tmobile 3g I'm buying one asap.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bedwa:
The only snafoo I may have is that I'll need people to test. But i should find you guys that do have one willing right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] the.mister.d:
Hi Bedwa,

What would be worst case side effect? Any chance of getting Note bricked/not usable?

If not much risk involved, i will volunteer to work with you!

Please let me know!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btyork:
I'll not only test for you (ADB knowledgable and have been rooting/roming/theming since HD2 release day.) I'll help you collect the bounty if you succeed (which I'll gladly add to.)

It's got to be possible... gotta be.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bedwa:
Side affects would be having to reflash proper modem (best case), or reflash all (worst case). Expected first rather than last.

Has anyone as of yet tried to repackage a radio.img from a G-Nex into a Note baseband package renamed as modem.bin on a CM9 package yet? I noticed both are the xgold 626 baseband chip. May have to do hex editing but this would be step one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] the.mister.d:
Alright, I am in.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btyork:
We haven't had a stable enough CM9 to justify modifying it, so I'm going to guess no, we haven't tried the repackage. See what you can fire up and I'll flash that sucker.

Not sure if it matters, but I'm currently on the Chinese ICS leak.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zafeer:
Canadian Note

I will be picking one up from bell tomorrow morning and will unlock it.

Then Im thinking i will flash the chinese ICS leak and try to flash the radio.img from my Galaxy Nexus to the Note.

Im not sure if it will work, but anythings worth a try right now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bedwa:
Lets get started then.

Preliminary test. Caution. Backup before flashing, be prepared for worst. Have Odin ready incase.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btyork:
Well crap, didn't think you'd throw it down like that... I don't have Odin up here at work in case it borks... I mean, that's highly unlikely if you know how to pack a CWM.zip

I'll take a look at the files before flashing, if I decide to do it from work.

What exactly did you change? Just the modem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dkotoric:
Ok just so I'm following here are you guys trying to flash this radio on the Unlocked version of Galaxy Note. I thought this should be pretty easy to accomplish on the ATT version since it uses the same chip as the Tmobile Galaxy S2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bedwa:
Yes unlocked note only. And the only thing I did (so far) is sub the radio.img for the modem.bin. Same baseband chip and both Samsung, so many similarities will be here. If further mods are needed, then I'll go from there. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btyork:
Haven't flashed yet, still slightly weary as I'm not sure how well a radio.img will convert to a modem.bin... Will do some research in a bit, rather than ask.. But if you want to explain it, I'll listen. :)

On a related note... the files appear to be the same size, which is a good sign to start.

--

Edit: After looking at them in a Hex Editor... my fear doesn't seem unfounded... They are TOTALLY different files.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dkotoric:
wow this would be awesome I would much rather have a Unlocked Galaxy Note with Exynos and the center button. Lets hope this works so I can ebay one asap.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bedwa:
The bigger thing is that if this works, all Samsung devices with the Infineon X-gold 6260 baseband will be compatible with T-Mobile. This includes this device, and both the Tab 7.0 plus and the 7.7. HUGE implications on this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dkotoric:
I hope it does but everything I have ready so far was that Exynos does NOT support AWS but then again that's just what I heard. I'm not a developer, but if we can't get this to work what are your thoughts about getting the AT&T version of the Galaxy Note running on T-Mobile. People have gotten the Skyrocket running on T-Mobile 3G/4G. To my knowledge the note for AT&T has the same processor and antennas for as the Skyrocket and Galaxy S2 for T-Mobile. People say they accomplished this on the Skyrocket by simply flashing a T-Mobile radio. What are your thoughts.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bedwa:
Plausible as both T-Mobile SGS II and Skyrocket uses a qualcomm baseband/cpu. The devices with Exynos and G-Nex primarily use Infineon's xgold 6260 baseband chip separate from the CPU. This chip as we know from the G-Nex is a pentaband chip. The only debate is how to get it to use all the bands. This can be as simple as swapping the modem, as complicated as swapping out the ril based files (or creating custom) as well. I've been doing alot of baseband research since I got my Thrill, as it has the same xGold chip in it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btyork:
This is true... to an extent. I'm also no developer, but I believe this only means no "4g" on t-mobile.

T-mobile doesn't have true 4g, it has 3g on steroids. Various versions of this 3g exist. The MyTouch 4g is a prime example. It get's the "4g" tag because it runs on the HSPA+, even though it's maximum download speed is 7mbps. Far from the 42 the Galaxy S2 gets.

ANY form of 3g would be acceptable, even the old "real" 3g.

This could all be wrong... but given the minimal amount of knowledge I have, it lines up.

I do know that the processor can handle at least 21mbps HSPA+.

I do know that within the framework of the phone, the 1700mhz frequency IS available.

Can it work? We'll find out soon I suppose.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dkotoric:
Ya I really don't want to go into the debate of what 3g and 4g is. Lets just call it HSPA+ for T-Mobile as far as I'm concerned I just don't want to get a $700 device and be forced to use it on Edge.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
Sooo I wanted to check back with my 4G touch friends and let you guys know that you're really not missing much with the Skyrocket. I avidly benched, and did battery tests with the E4GT with multiple roms, and same With the Skyrocket, and it pales in comparison.

Caulks rom at 1.4 Ghz I was benching damn near 5k in Quadrant. With the Skyrocket, even at 1.8ghz, I cant get past 4600. Which I agree to some extent benching is irrelevant, but it does work for comparison. So yeah.

Also, the battery life, even on 3rd party roms blows compared to the E4GT. It's hard going from 25 hours total charge with 4:30 screen on time to 13 hours charge and 2 hours screen time :/

Other then that, the phones are pretty similar. The E4GT roms are way batter though. If it wasn't for Sprint 4G being nowhere and 3G being slow as **** no matter where I am, I'd return this phone and go back to the E4GT in a heartbeat. This LTE and getting 60 megs down made me fall in <3. I just wish the phone itself was up to par.

I decided to post this because other people I saw were debating on the swap. Having owned both, if you can deal with, or have decent Sprint data speeds, it's definitely not worth it.

I might buy another E4GT just to use and mod cause it's so epic :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Did you say 60 megs down on LTE or was that LTE and 60 megs down on wifi? I am liking these unbiased comparisons. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
pay no attention to the wifi symbol at the top, I was at home when I snapped the pic, the network says LTE, it's truly beast.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sd_N:
thanks

Thanks for that. I am sticking with my e4gt. Awesome phone. Appreciate your time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Khilbron:
One of my co-workers here has a skyrocket the LTE in the Nashville area is about 50mb down. My only gripe with ATT here is their signal is very iffy alot of the time, that and their largest data package is 4gb/mo for $45, I can chew through 4gb of data very easily, went to the Sprint site and viewed my data usage, its the 19th, and I have already used 3gb of data on 3g, and another 6 on 4G. That on top of 59.99 for a 900 minute plan. My personal opinion is while the speeds may be drastically better, I am not willing to pay over $100 for less than what I get with Sprint currently. I view the speeds that we are seeing with ATT, and Verizon's LTE services something we can look forward to when Sprint rolls out their LTE network.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
yes but its very easy to get a grandfathered in unlimited data plan from att, all you need is an OG iPhone. I just got my att account a week ago and I already have unlimited data. And who needs a 900 minute plan? The unlimited texting plan comes with unlimited mobile to mobile, then you just get the 400 minute plan. Who calls land lines for more then 400 minutes a month that doesn't have a business plan already?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Khilbron:
When 95% of your calls are to businesses You too will need a minimum of a 900 minute plan, and Why buy a business plan when I am the only user of my phone. Their low end business plan is $60 for only 700 minutes, and still doesn't include the additional charge for the data cap, Just saying If you only have 1-2 people who need a phone for work purposes, a business plan is not always the best value.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
My whole work phone bill is expensed *shrug* I dont even see a bill. Hence why I mentioned business plan. Your situation is speaking for only a few.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
The one thing I like about Sprint is the plans. I go over 4gb of data in a week, easily. I pay $115 a month(20% discount) for unlimited everything on two lines with 1500 anytime, and it works out great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
Agreed. And I was just saying that that's not the case for the majority.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
If you need it, thats works perfectly. I pay $73 a month for unlimited data, texting and mobile to mobile, I just only get 400 anytime minutes, but I also have 450 rollover, so I dont even think it makes a difference. I feel like it's all unlimited. I too get a 23% discount though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drksilenc:
have been thinking about switching for the simple reason of 50k means i cant do anything with this phone unless im at home and then i have my galaxy tab 7+
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
i think i would like to switch

hi how is the data signal / speed inside buildings? i would be interested in switching to att, if i can get unlimited data, as i see that gsm phones have wider support group
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
About half the time I lose LTE in buildings, but HSPA+ is still like usually 4megs down. I lose connection occasionally depending on the building, but it's not as bad as Sprint service, thats for sure. I'd lose service everywhere.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
Epic touch is exynos and skyrocket is qualcomm 1.5 ghz so there is no comparison. Even qualcomm runs at 2.0ghz it will still be slower than exynos.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
True story based on my benches.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neilkarunatilaka:
Sigh, I had the old ATT plan with unlimited data but cancelled and switched to sprint a year ago for the Evo, now on the E4GT, love the phone, hate the service, just can't switch back to my ATT unlimted plan now :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
I'd be mad if i were you. When I switched, I moved from t-mobile, and now to ATT. Although I'm swapping service a lot, I feel like I'm upgrading. Well, as far as service goes anyway... Sprint seems to get all the better phones, so if their service improves and they have good LTE, I'd be willing to switch back. The good thing about keeping up on phones is that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to switch phones / providers, even with an ETS. My ETS at Sprint was 180, and I paid 224 out the door at ATT for my plan and Skyrocket. Sold my 4G touch for $350, so I only spent like 50 bucks. all said and done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
until then?

So until 2023 you will keep switching between ATT,VERIZON AND T-MOBILE?...:-)

[Motorola Droid X2] rufftouch:
no i did not i was told to remove slacker and install it from market and it should fix but it didnt its still giving me this problem , im rooted no custom rom just stock
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Edit::

Yeah it.looks.like u will either need to push slacker to /system

Or u might have to sbf.

Just FYI-- Sbf will not wipe ur data away if that's what u r worried about.

BUT if u bootloop after sbf u WILL need to data wipe.

I can't day for sure whether or not u will bootloop.

I never bootloop after sbf UNLESS I have mods or tweaks or custom rom installed
[Motorola Droid X2] rufftouch:
How do I push it to /system/app ?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Use root explorer

Go to data/app

long press slacker.apk(might not be the exact name but u should see the slacker icon next to it

choose "move"

Navigate to /system/app

Press the grey button at top of screen that says "Mount r/w"

Press Paste.

Reboot.

U can also use other file explorers as long as they have root abilities and u can mount /system as r/w (read/write)

Root explorer is simplest and easiest to use IMHO for this
[Motorola Droid X2] rufftouch:
I don't have the slacker apk at all
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Then u need to download it from market :)

if u have it installed from market

it will show up as com.slacker.radio-1.apk in /data/app

I don't know if this would work anyway beings the STOCK slacker may be slightly different. I.e. signed by moto or something.

in which case u will need the slacker.apk from a stock x2 system if anyone running stock could copy it for ya and upload. And u also may need the odex file if it has one.
[Motorola Droid X2] rufftouch:
not to sound stupid but whats the odex file ?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Go take a look at /system/app real quick.

U will see that some apks have a odex file beneath it.

They allow quicker access to apps by having bits of code readily available to system or something similar to that.
[Motorola Droid X2] rufftouch:
Can there also be an issue with the slackerradio.apk in the 2.3.5 ?
[Motorola Droid X2] rufftouch:
now ive got E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip , and still same thing with slacker error
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yea...im thinking u gonna need the stock apk and odex.

I can get what u need but it will be after flyers game...

Can u wait bout an hour?

Unless someone beats me to it ill upload what u need ...
[Motorola Droid X2] rufftouch:

[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
First and foremost, have you tried downloading the 2.3.5 zip file again? It's telling you that is has an error in the update.zip file, so it's probably a corrupted zip file.

Go here and get the OTA 2.3.5 update and push that to your phone -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341202

If Eclipse is boot looping, you need to go back into recovery (I would suggest the stock recovery, but BSR is fine as well) and wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Any time you flash a new ROM, you should always do that before rebooting.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Actually the wipe should be done BEFORE flashing the rom. No need to wipe after flashing when u just wiped before...:)
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Call me anal, but I usually do it before AND after the wipe. :o
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Just don't do it from cwr as it trashes cwr and you are forced to sbf if the sys won't boot. Ash... means do it from settings privacy? Is that right Ash...?

Make sure you have the correct drivers installed and you have USB debugging enabled.

If you are on Win 7 x64, hook up your phone to your computer, boot into the bootloader, and check out Device Manager (right click My Computer, Properties, Device Manager).

If you see in "Other Devices" a device called Android 1.0 (I can't remember off the top of my head), right click it, update drivers. Tell Windows you want to browse for the drivers, click to see the list of drivers you already have installed, and scroll down to find the Samsung Android Phone or whatever it's called.
