It still didnt work, Ive tried about everything. My network says HOME, i get calls and text but no data. Any chance im on a international phone or would i not get phone and text with that? I bought this phone off ebay and it was suppose to be the usaatt model and i have not rooted or unlocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dbC4G:
Hey CUKIO34,

I have an International-Unlocked Version of the Note with Everything working so that shouldn't be a reason why your data isn't working... (btw... my network also says HOME)

You will also know the AT&T Version from the International Version of the Phone because the AT&T Version has an AT&T Logo on the top of the phone and no physical home button on the bottom, except it will have 4 "lighted non-physical" buttons at the bottom of the phone...

The International Version of the phone has a Samsung Logo at the top and a physical home button at the bottom of the screen accompanied by 2 "lighted non-physical" buttons as-well...

Pictures of both have been attached...

Make sure you select the APN you'd just made/saved. Turn the phone off and wait, then turn it back on.

Did you port or new number? You might have to wait, but most have instant access.

If you had an old phone, turn it off too..

If you still have an issue, get on Facebook, go to their page and submit a ticket. Then post on their wall that ticket #. They respond very quickly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CUKIO34:
yea i ported a number from sprint. But since i already have voice and text I was thinking the data should be operable too. Whos facebook are you talking about? straight talk?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mythus:
I'm a bit confused, I just activated straight talk, but the only modems that work with it are the tmobile hacks and this is the ATT sim. Speed test arnt working either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dbC4G:
Congrats on the move... (Sprint SUCKS) I ported in from them also (onto an International Note) and everything (Voice, Text+MMS, & Data) ported over fine within 2 hrs (maybe less)...

Speed Tests work fine for me... did you port a number over also? of so how long has it been since you ported over? and from what carrier?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mythus:
I just ported it over like 20 minutes ago. Is that a known issue? right now my upload is fantastic, but download is dead
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dbC4G:
I would say at least wait the 2 hrs it took me to completely port over and then see whats up... Remember even ST says it could take up to 24hrs (which it almost never does...) Report back in a few hours...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mythus:
my number had already been switched almost instantly though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dbC4G:
yeah idk why everything wouldn't go other but i know others have had voice and txt work right away and data and mms (since it uses data) come over hrs later... not sure y thou... i believe mines all came at the same time...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CUKIO34:
after talking to st cust support, it is now working. woo hoo 4g. f sprint.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
what did you get them to do to fix it? was it simply waiting for stuff to port over?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CUKIO34:
I have no idea. she just checked to make sure i had my apn right(which it was). then powered off phone and i guess she did something on her end and started phone back up after a minute and everything was working like it should.

what is the Right sim card for ATT note? i am ordering sim today as my simple mobile month is up in a week.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adelmundo:
Get the AT&T Sim.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
Interesting... Well, welcome to ST, you won't be disappointed. I have it for 3 months now, no complaints so far. Esp love the price :)

Wouldn't it be awesome if someday we can use both Tmo OR att Network? :D

I ran into the speedtest problem too. I think its just a bug on ICS.

I have ST on my galaxy note. I came from a iPhone 4. I just popped in my sim and added the correct apn settings and internet and mms worked within a min. No root or unlock is needed. You just get the att compatible sim from ST. My service has been great on my iPhone and the Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NJBROTHA2K:
Can I use my simple mobile sim card that I bought yesterday and switch it to straight talk without buy the straight sim card? Simple mobile network is now consistent with speeds and its getting on my last nerves. Smdh.

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 AM ----------

Is it consistent? Does it throttle down your speeds on and off. I simple mobile and the hspa speeds is never consistent. 1 min its 2 Mbps than it 150 Kbps. The **** is annoying. I got the same modem. Newark,Nj area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] drdocta123:
About to order a straight talk att sim for my note but I'm wondering is it necessary to root and unlock and put a rom on it or can I just go ahead swap the sim, change apn while staying stock

You can leave it stock. U don't have to do anything to it but put the sim in and correct apn settings. I have it on the note as well

Visual Voicemail??

I think I already know the answer here, but just thought I'd ask anyway (could be wrong...) but the only way to check my voicemail with the Note and ST is by calling the voicemail number... as there is no Visual Voicemail that works for the GNote and ST correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Surrylic:
I'm not sure of an exact answer, but if calling voicemail IS the only option I would suggest YouMail. Its what I use for my voicemail right now. Not as pretty/smooth as an iPhone's vvm maybe, but way better than calling voicemail and I really like the customizable greetings.

True stock I717 Modem requested

Hello, I had tried to use the Tmobile modem and couldn't even get a phone call inside my home. So I tried going back to the stock modem but all the postings I have found are either for a 989 (or something) or a Tmo version. Does anyone have an actual US I717 modem I can put back?

Right now, I have a phone that cannot receive calls because it cannot load the modem files properly.

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] coolmib:
You still need to activate the ST sim first, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
I think I read another post that had your issue and they were told to go back to stock to get their modem back. Then reinstall your ROM of choice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Why did OP bought this for $700 outright?

If you buy it, sign up for a contract for 30 days and cancel on the 31st days, you'll pay:

$240 = how much I paid with "contract"

$325 = Early termination fee

====+

$565

This is on par with unlocked, International Version sold in Amazon but the AT&T Note have US Samsung warranty..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesd86:
You forgot the activation fee, and the first months service..which would come out to about 700 without the need to cancel anything or have a credit check hit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
I don't get charged activation fee. But with ST, you also have first month fee $45 and SIM card fee of $15. That's more than $700 isn't it? With AT&T version I get warranty, so worth in IMHO.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alewis2k12:
Im also enjoying these 4g speeds on straight talk...its terrific....best plan ever lol...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] clockcycle:
Note is still covered by the 1 year manufacturer's warranty independent of carrier.

I got mine on Craigslist. YMMV
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Depend on WHICH country and reseller you get the Note from.

I HAVE bought an International Note, it was from Latin America. It broke, Samsung USA does NOT accept it for warranty work, NOR Latin America Samsung. Yep, I called both of them, even asked my friend to call Internationally since I don't speak Spanish or Portuguese.

Luckily I bought it from Amazon and it was within 30 day, so I got a refund.

FYI, the issue I had was with the "NO SIM CARD detected" error, which have a thread specifically on this. So its not that I drop it or anything like that.

I am not saying buying Int'l Note is a bad idea, but please consider the positive and negative of doing so. In my case, since I rely heavily on my phone (Note or not), I prefer to have a USA-based warranty. Price wise is similar anyway:

I. International Note (what I paid)

$ 594: Note

$ 15: ST SIM Card

$ 45: ST first month

$ 45: ST 2nd month

=====+

$ 699 --> TOTAL

II. AT&T Note

$ 229: Note

$ 325: Early Termination Fee

$ 70: 1st month (no activation fee, I went with my employer's plan)

$ 70: 2nd month (I had to wait close to 60 days, or AT&T will charge me the "non-contract device" fee of $799)

====+

$ 694 --> TOTAL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xtravbx:
I agree. Great plan i did the same thing. I scored my note off ebay mint for 415. 15 activation and 45 a month. Way cheaper this way than paying 250 up front plus activation plus practically 100 a month for service. Love it.

Ok I think im moving to straight talk paying 120 a month plus BS fees wit ATT but Im wondering if Im still under contract with ATT right now do I just activate my straighttalk sim and carry over my number to them and the contract will be canceled automatically or what?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
Once you port your number out of ATT, your ATT account will be cancelled automatically. I just did it moving to tmo's 4g monthly plan. Port time for me was 18 hrs. You just need 2 phones active for awhile. When your ATT phone has no service, your port is complete and your ported number will be on your straight talk phone(whatever phone your are using for that sim).

If you don't care about your ATT number, don't worry about having that sim in a phone. When it moves over to your ST sim, the port is done and your ATT account is cancelled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rnp614:
Or go Ebay, buy one for like $450 like I did and be done with it. Get squaretrade if you're worried about hardware malfunction.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ejdavis:
★★★i just put my ATT number on a 10 monthly reduced stand by plan. it has zero minutes or data. I paid 199 for my note and so my total is 45 plus 10 and my insurance. .. Not bad for unlimited everything $55

Ok so then I'm guessing ATT comes right at you with the $325 dollar early termination fee lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] docgiggs:
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me through PM or in this thread. I know comps, but I don't know android phones for jack really as I've never had one.

Here's the low down. GF just got an unlocked Note from Amazon. It's the international version. No problem as we were able to set it to English. So we got it because of straight talk. She has the nokia e71 sim which was no problem swapping. Popped in the e71 sim and it was on the network for phone use at least. I knew I needed to change the APN settings to get it the internet and MMS working. I let her play with the phone first before doing this as she was excited at having a new phone. So she was using our wifi for internet. She decided while playing around to do an update and the phone was updated with ICS android 4.0. After she gets done playing with it she hands me the phone to change the APN on it. I download an APN changer off the play store and install it. Problem is that the app is claiming it can't make changes to the APN because the phone has android 4.0+ installed which prevents 3rd party apps from making APN changes.

So I'm stuck since my knowledge on this is very limited. I tried some searches on the internet but everything I look for points for how to do it without ICS.

So can anyone help me out here in getting her phone setup completely on straighttalk?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
I wouldn't know about that. I upgraded on my son's number and he is still on the family plan with hubby and daughter. I was free to leave with no penalties.

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

You can do it manually. Get the correct settings from straight talk site.

Go into phone settings and on the first set there is a selection- more. Choose that, then go to mobile networks, access Point Names (APN), and make a new one.

1.choose menu>new apn

2. put in all your new settings going down the line. When you are done- this is important- Save.

Go back to settings, more, mobile networks, and select the new apn, or is it's already selected, back out.

Give it a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] docgiggs:
Yah, actually just found that out about 15 mins before you posted this. Took awhile of googling as they added the way to do it manually through the settings.

However, when I put in the straight talk settings I've found in this thread nothing happens. I have saved, restarted and verified it all was saved, but no connection.

EDIt, finally played around with the settings long enough to figure out what worked. Some of the info was in different spots than posted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jshinn1:
Yea I just set up my plan about a month ago so im sure they are gonna charge me the full ET fee but its ok Ill save much more in the long run

One more question Im pretty sure I know the answer but since this uses ATT towers for service will I get roughly the same service or is it worse??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
Then you need to call straight talk and they should be able to help you.

Now on the note im running the official beta 2 version4 that hase the baseband radio ulcd3 and i get decent speeds but not to worry the official t mobile 4g radio comes out on the 11th of june so im happy with that..i paid 425 for my white att galaxy not on craigslist and i been payin 45 bucks a month since the galaxy s2 came out and the note as well....forget contracts they suck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nysfinest318:
Hello people! To all of my fellow Note owners who have successfully made the transition out of contract to ST and are now enjoying their Note in all it's glory, congrats! I just purchased my Note last week from CL and after a scary 3 day ordeal of trying to rectify a soft-brick I am finally back up and running, unlocked and using on T mobile, but still stock.

Now, I am ready to make the leap to ST and I'm looking for suggestions on the least painful method. I am assuming that since it's an AT&T phone that I'd get the best results by going with an AT&T sim card even though it's unlocked and could use either...is that a correct assumption? I'm in Nor-Cal and although I have heard stories of people in my area who just can't seem to get a good setup no matter what they try. Hopefully, I'll have better luck. So, any suggestions on best method for rooting, best radio/kernel, rom, etc. would be greatly appreciated. I'm no noob to flashing...been doing it since I received my G1 on the first day it was available. But, over the years I've found that while personal trial and error can be educational, sometimes I just like to benefit from the experience of others who've already traveled the path. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hi,

I came from Sprint to Straight Talk. I needed a pin to leave Sprint that I

had forgotten so took longer to port the number. I used cellunlocker.net

to unlock phone. I did buy the AT&T compatible SIM.

I followed Straight talk's APN setup instructions.

I am using google voice voicemail, a little fiddly to setup, but seems to

work fine.

I started on rooted stock gingerbread and it was fine.

I am using Clockwork mod for recovery:

[You will need ODIN PC application (google search) to install it initially]

I switched recently to ICS:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1664980

ICS based on UCLE2 leak. There are several other versions, Flappjaxxx

version seems closest to stock and gets good reviews.

When I was testing after switching, I was having trouble with

speedtest.net application, removing the proxy from the APN

seemed to fix problem.

I have poor reception at home and SEEMED to be doing worse with

the ICS UCLE2 modem. I switched back to the gingerbread modem.

I also played with the 3G Turbocharger:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276

I am not convinced that the modem or 3G turbocharger made any

real difference, perhaps the local network and speedtest sites are

erratic!

---> Under Gingerbread, there is a known bug with unplugging

USB charger with phone screen off. It prevents phone from

going into deepsleep after unplug till a reboot. To unplug,

turn on screen and unlock. See:

On Straight Talk, LTE does not work. Max speeds I have

seen are around 7 Mbits/sec. Typical perhaps 1-2 Mbits/sec.

Hope this helps!

STRAIGHT TALK SIMS NOT Working on my Galaxy NOTE i717

I have tried 3 different ST SIMS on my unlocked i717 NOTE and always get the same " No SIM " card error. Any suggestions? It works fine with a TMob SIM though poor reception.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] androidjunkie71:
i717 on ST

Straight Talk sims are garbage...not bashing them, just putting that out there...if you have had 3 in a row bad, get another one...they're finicky as hell, but they do work & work well. As or all of your findings, most of you are part way right for the most part.

I've been using ST on many phones for a long time, way before most people were aware of it. Currently I have a One XL that is a data TERROR on the ST network with an AT&T Sim...4g DOES work, I hit 12-16mbps consistently with Speedtest.net (with the first 2 proxy lines taken out of course) running the One XL with the ViperXL rom - it's dope...

As for the I717 keeping on topic, I do have one, playing with it now...roms are an issue, because only one modem seems to properly work with data properly - the UCLE2...if you've gotten other ones to work, kudos....my experience, this is the only one that works properly. I've hit 5mbps pretty consistenly with this phone, it's no match for my One XL in performance, but pulling an average of 12-14gb of data @ 5mbps average DL speed a month for $45 and a whole lot of freedom...I'll take it :)

As for your issue with 3 bad sims in a row, are they the AT&T version, or are they the generic ST Sims? If they're not the AT&T version, you'll need your phone unlocked...if you have a T-Mobile Straight Talk sim working in it, then flash a T-Mobile radio to it and get it on :)

Hi everyone,

I made a mistake :(

I installed cyanogen on my galaxy s, when i booted it worked perfectly.

So i needed to install google apps. I didn't understood the process and i used odin to reinstall the cf-root CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVO-v3.2-CWM3RFS.tar

But now the phone is on download mode and impossible to back to recovery mode.

I tried to remove and replace the battery ... but nothing change, the phone is locked on download mode.

Thanks for help me recover the last backup!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manuscle:
i found the solution by:

reinstalling kernel speedmod-kernel-k16-11-Odin

and GT-I9000_XEF_1_20110525163319 rom

the phone is booting now but i have probleme during boot.

i turn in recovery mode and see that /dbdata is inaccessible. After spent a lot of time on the net, i found some solutions:

re-partition with pit file and flash rom again, wipe data/factory reset. But when i wipe factory reset, i have this message:

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10

Any help should be nice :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
Dont' do factory reset just Flash 3 file stock rom (phone, pda, csc) in odin with pit 512 & re-partition checked.

Get files from SamFirmWare - search in Google for link.

I found I had to flash the 3 files a second time. The 2nd time flash without checking repartition and don't flash the pit file (so just flash phone,pda,csc).

Once you have done this you should be able to do factory reset & clear cache etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manuscle:
Thanks for reply!

I realised that i didn't found the right file. After spending some time to search, i finally found the good file and i could flash with the 3 files.

- i turn on my phone in download mode

- installed the CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3-CWM3RFS with odin

- format everything i could (i think i didn't have to ...)

- restart the phone in download mode

- install the 4 files (PIT 512, PDA, PHONE and CSC) with odin

Then the phone restarted correctly.

Ok i losted all my datas but it was not really important, the most important for me was to get my phone working.

Now everything working fine.
