[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adiprince1:
hi guys i tried both KID and KLV modems . Both are working fine and giving me the same speed. the 3g speed aint good in my area but i do get close to 1mb. the only question is why i cannot search for wireless networks? when i go to wireless setting and avaliable networks, it just had grayed out Default Setup listed. I cannot seach the wireless networks. The only way i choose the band by following the instructions *#2263# and selecing 1700mhz. anyone has any ideas.

*Galaxy Note White AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JFigure:
Quick update only success as of late...

Flashed two radios that have given me varying success.

At home: was unable to get 4g on any non blaze radio

Was using KID to get by.

Flashed the telus blaze radio zip...

Instant solid 6mbps with solid connection. High ping.

Flashed the new one named 331122 in the other thread.

Low ping, maxed at 3mbps.

At work: was maxed at 6mbps on KID

Flashed the telus blaze radio zip...

Solid 12.8mbpa with high ping.

Flashed the 331122...

pings under 40 Max of around 6mbsp.

I'm not sure how either translate to normal web browsing, nit I'm using the telus blaze now and loving it.

Good afternoon gents, I bought a rogers i717R, through in my videotron sim card, unlocked the phone.

Flashed CWM.

Flashed PDA.TAR

Installed SU

Flashed TMO KID

Replaced build.prop

Once the phone booted up I chose the 1700 Baseband. Everything worked fine.

Connection was bad though, high mbps, but kept going on and off, but it had selected videotron none the less.

Restarted phone, ... could not connect, if it did connect it would take several minutes to connect.

Return to CWM, clear cache. Flash VLK1.

Start phone, same issue, really weird connection.

Reflashed KID. same issue, I can see videotron if I manually chose my provider, but registering on videotron has been going for 10mins now and still going.

Anything else I can try? anything I seem to be doing wrong? any other videotron users do this yet?

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

After 15mins of trying to lock on to a network it said cant connect to videotron, trying automatic detection, another 5mins went buy, blam 4g videotron connection. If I reboot thats all out the window though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllGamer:
if you plan to use it as a phone, then i suggest you to take it back

it doesn't affect me much, as my main phone is still my T989

the Note i'm mostly using it as a play thing,

because even when it can have a Stable connection, the battery drain is just too much to be used as a phone

i can drain the battery in less than 4 hours

i have to under clock the thing to make it last past 4 hours

my T989 can go a full day with only 1 charge

The Telus Samsung Galaxy SII T989D will work natively on Tzones/tmobile without changing the radio I believe.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
ok this is weird, I just got my AT&T white note and its UNLOCKED and works on Mobilicity AWS out of the box. no root nothing.

i know it was unlocked by Canadagsm/SNTraders where i bought it but wth?

ok upon further searching i noticed the app market, they has searched for superuser, which leads me to believe they rooted it already.

would they Flash the radio tho???

EDIT: found CWM on here already too.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
What kind of performance are you getting with speed tests? Is it consistent?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
well Mobilicity is a discount carrier so speeds are kinda capped at 2Mbps i regularly hit 1.6Mbps ish on my T989 Hercules

testing in an area i usually get full bars. Note shows 4/5

My first try hit .960 Mbps.

-2nd 890Mbps down 28K up,

-third .925Mbps down, 28kbps up :(

normally I hit close to 1Mbps up.

How can i check what radio I have?

I noticed I cannot select Carrier or set phone to WCDMA only??? EDIT: used battery Monitor Widget to access WCDMA only mode.

mine didn't come with headphones. (AT&T) normal?

I paid less than i could buy it for locally and everything was pre done for me including unlock. Overnight delivery was sweet tho. Oh and i just hit 2Mbps down And 856 kbps up at home so its pretty well on par with my T989.

I get 1 to 2 bars inside the house and still get 4g. Like some users, I get faster data with less bars lol. Don't know why. Phone calls are fine, however I do get a drop call once in awhile. SMS/mms are working great even with 1 to 2 bars.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] soapbox23:
Can also report data speeds are faster with less bars. I get 1-3 bars in my house and still get 4g. upload speeds are still crap though even though last night i pulled in about 1.5mbps which was a first.

my call reception is very poor in my house with 4g enabled, but if i change it to EDGE only, my calls are crystal clear. I'm pretty sure it's due to the bad upload speeds though. YMMV
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
My speeds are pretty much the same on all modems. Ill stick to the Blaze.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mojosingle:
Considering that this has been (relatively) easy to program for Tmobile with these root suggestions, does that mean that basically the only thing that is keeping Samsung from selling this directly thru Tmobile is the AT&T exclusive window?

Any idea how long the exclusive ATT agreement is? I mean if the existing Galaxy Note hardware supports TMobile, I am trying to decide if I should root (slightly risky as indicated by the warnings in the OP...) or wait for the T-Mobile version. Thanks all. :o

yes you can just re-flash the rom, it will restore your modem too. if not just re-download the modem from at&t. then flash it again.

On Galaxy Note i717r. Running unofficial 1.5 - emily's dedication rom and flashed the blaze 4g LB7.

After flashing, there is no option to access "Network Mode" to select HSPA only. And when I go to available networks, mobilicity (the carrier I plan on moving to) is not there, Bell, Rogers, Telus, and 302490 are.

Is the solution to dial *#2263# and force it into mobilicity's band?

Cheaper phone solution

You can go to the larger Rogers Plus stores and buy a Galaxy Note as "Used" which in most cases have been brought back under the Rogers' buyer remorse program (which is someone bought it, didn't like it and brought it back within 15 days of purchase). These phones are fully checked out by a Rogers tech and then sold as "USED" for $350. I bought two (one for me and one for my spouse) and the phones have been great. If you plan on rooting it (which means you are voiding the Samsung warranty) this might be a cost effective way of purchasing a Galaxy Note. The two I bought still had all the protective materials on the phones, charger, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] funziebear:
Is this with a contract? That's an awesome price :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nivek_k2020:
That has to be contract. No way they would sell phones that cheap outright. This is Rogers after all. :rolleyes:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
you are stuck with those speeds for now, its the best anyone can hope for with a hacked radio I'm afraid. when the T-mobile version is released we may have a new radio to flash.

this phone wasn't meant to run on AWS unlike your Wind phone. normally I get 1Mbit down and 30kb up. this is on Mobilicity. most users are only getting 30kb up in Canada anyways.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pakkerat:
Noob question

You mention in your pre-reqs that the Note needs to be sim unlocked.

Having only unlocked (carrier and root) the galaxy tab before, is there a method to carrier/sim unlock my Bell Note in a similar way? Or do I have to a) go to Bell or b) go to internet/cell store that offers unlock services? Open to any other ways (preferably free LOL).

I'm guessing I can go ahead and root the phone first, regardless of the options?

Anyone need data from a stock Bell phone, let me know how and I will send it to you! Will wait to root for at least a couple of days.

Lastly, is it better to just wait for the Bell ICS update and then enable AWS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cmart4:
I bought my at&t note knowing that I would unlock it and flash the radios to t-mo. I used cellunlocker.net for $25, i think if you make a video about it, they will refund the $25. Got my code in like 5 mins.

Postings need to be more detailed

In the posting that includes the ADB commands, it would be a bit more helpful to include some links to explain how to use the ADB commands. In some scenarios an individual will need to login into the shell as a root user "SU" to get the commands to work properly.

Also, how often are downloads checked for accuracy. The Rogers stock dump has a corrupted system.img file. I have downloaded the 7zip file three times and extracted the .bin and .img files and each time I peform the dd command on the system.img file I get a message stating it is corrupt and which soft bricks my Galaxy Note.

PLEASE, those who are posting links to downloads make sure your files meet strict integrity standards!

What I really want to know is, after rooting the Note, will it be possible to sim unlock it (eg. using a hex editor, or anything else - remember I just know how to follow steps to do so on the galaxy tab).

1) Yes or no?

I've checked out the site you recommended, however I'm getting quoted prices of $29.99 if I select "all Canadian carriers" and $32.99 if I select "Bell". Rogers for some reason gets me a code for $7.99!

1) does it matter what carrier I enter?

2) how did you get it for $25?

BTW, I've followed their instructions for the initiating the video-making discount. Been waiting for a reply for 2 days now, so I'm gonna assume that they've maxed out the number of videos they require for the Note.

So i have 4g. B4 to change from gb to ics my data speed was between 7~8 mbps now i only get 3mbps tops.. And i been reading about this blaze modem and i don't know if will work with att or straight talk...?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jbhorse:
This is just my experience for those of you who want to buy the ATT Note to modify for Tmobile use in the US. I've done everything I could to modify it to work with my Tmobile sim card. I did get fast 4g (about 9-10mbps in Southern California), but it's not stable and I ended up selling my ATT Note. So don't waste your time if you wanna try one. Either wait for the official Tmo Note(if the rumor is true), or use it with Edge if you love the Note so bad. I have gone back to my pal, the Dell Streak 5 with 3g which I get a consistent average of 3mbps(sometimes 5mbps+ download) download, and 1mbps upload speeds(sometimes 2mbps+), even at work and in doors. So I have decided to wait it out. I bought the Note just to experiment and to confirm to myself that it definitely doesn't work with Tmobile(inconsistency 4g speed with hangs, no signal, etc means it does not work for me). :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] babymatteo:
I just recently switched to the i717 coming from the GSM White GNexus. Data speeds is relatively much slower on the Note but then the screen size and just how much more vivid everything looks on the Note makes up for the data speeds. So i'm very glad i did the switch. I work in front of a PC all day so data speeds isn't that much of a problem. There's times in the day were i get around 700kbps but for most of the time i get 2-4mbps down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jbhorse:
If that works for you, then I rest my case. I think I got better speed with the Sepherim rom + ICS modem than Saurom and GB modem with the Note, but still the unstable problem was there. I got close to 0Mbps or no speed at all at work as compared to my 3g device that sometimes goes up to 5mbps+ using the same sim. This is what frustrated me about the Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] atomiq:
