[Galaxy Note II General] mikeyinid:
That's interesting. It's about time the exynos supported lte and hspa+ 42. I bet that thing is gonna be a battery hog even with that huge battery. I'll be interested to see how this phone lands. If it's like the s3 and all the versions are similar then dev should be great. We will see.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
I don't see anything about $299. where did you see that?
[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
So since the International Version and the T-mobile version are exactly the same, can we use the International Version on T-mobile and get 4g speeds?
[Galaxy Note II General] farfromovin:
EXACTLY what I've been wondering. Since I'm on Tmo value plan I don't get anything subsidized anyway, I might as well get the one with the best dev support. I'm thinking that's international, but obviously every version will have CM10 quickly and there are some great devs that personally use Tmo (AOKP, Trinity, etc...). Tough choice if the international is completely compatible.

I'd assume the Tmo version would come with wifi calling and it'll be near impossible to get it to work on the International version?
[Galaxy Note II General] tigerin:
don't they use a different frequency band?
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
No, they are not identical. They are pretty close, however.

No, it won't work on t-mobile's network. It doesn't have the necessary 1700 band.
[Galaxy Note II General] konceptz:
I wonder what the advantages are at getting an intl. Unlocked vs a Tmobile branded.

Seems that LTE would be nice to have seeing as the Tmobile and intl. All come with 21mbps hsp+, a step down from the sgs3.

Also seeing as I'm in nyc, I would be able to use 1900 bands.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
I think you would lose wifi calling on the international phone.

So, after some more research, it appears t-mobile is moving their 3g off of the all-annoying 1700 band in 2012/2013 and moving it to 1900.

The 1700 will be used for LTE, I believe.

So it seems like, for overall fun, the way to go is get an international phone and wait for t-mobile 3g on 1900.

I get the theoretical higher development of the international phone, and the cheap t-mobile 3g.

[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
So according to Phone Arena when comparing the two phones the only difference is the International version DOES NOT have the 1700/2100 band.

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/co...obile,Samsung-GALAXY-Note-II/phones/7502,7254

Is that whats stopping it from using T-mobiles 3g and HSPA+?
[Galaxy Note II General] AgDon:
The TMobile phone will have 42mbps not 21

Link: http://www.tmonews.com/2012/09/inte...t-updated-for-galaxy-note-ii-no-lte-in-sight/
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
Besides the fact that the T Mobile 3g network REQUIRES 1700?

The International note 2 has the same 3g bands as the international note 1. The note 1 didn't work on T Mobile 3g,why would the 2nd?

Note this will all be different in a year, since T Mobile is slowly moving to 1900.
[Galaxy Note II General] konceptz:
Many of us are thinking about buying non Tmobile versions to get the LTE. We should confirm which, if any models will work on the planned release of LTE on Tmobile.

Also: This may affect NYC T-Mobile users and other 1900 Tmobile markets that are currently available.

What we know:

Tmobile has 1900mhz in select areas including NYC metro area. Source: Tmobile

LTE will launch with a single 10 MHz channel, 5 up, 5 down. Source: anand

(Some version) Galaxy note2 will come with Cat3 LTE. Source: Phone arena

Cat 3 should cover 10 MHZ channel. Source: Wikipedia

BUT I'm not well versed on 3GPP LTE bands and categories. Can someone who is up to date on this stuff confirm?
[Galaxy Note II General] initial_k:
My advice is if you want 4G/3G on t-mobile, get the tmobile version.

I had the original note on At&T and try to flash the t-mobile radio, epic failed. The battery drained faster, phone got hotter, signal was inconsistent working at full speed ony 10% of the time. Sold it in total frustration.
[Galaxy Note II General] cholepuree1:
Wait... The tmobile note 2 is a pentaband phone like the nexus!? I :)
[Galaxy Note II General] GMAN1722:
I believe Samsung website says it's 21
[Galaxy Note II General] AgDon:
Maybe you should check the Samsung website again. Link: http://www.samsung.com/us/article/the-next-big-thing-galaxy-note-ii

It specifically calls out HSPA +42 under carrier availability .
[Galaxy Note II General] ky0nkyon:

From one of the comments:
[Galaxy Note II General] mingkee:
I am pretty sure T-Mobile version will support Voice over LTE because T-Mobile has already implemented this technology (IP Multimedia Subsystem) over Wi-Fi (wifi calling), so simultaneous voice and internet over LTE will not be an issue.
[Galaxy Note II General] wooties:
Yeah, i find that part of the comment very suspect. -The other info? I'm stoked. This may help me feel better about losing V's speed by jumping over to T-Mobile in Nov!

unlocked AT&T Galaxy Note II (SGH-I317) on T-Mobile 4G?

Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask. I have the Galaxy Note II from AT&T (SGH-I317) unlocked with an T-Mobile SIM card. I can make calls and do texting, but no MMS, and sometimes 4G, but mostly EDGE. So this is the strange part, and maybe someone here has some pointers or settings to get this working.

1. How is it possible that I am getting 4G without the 1700MHz antenna on the SGH-I317? and why is it intermittent and not reliable? I tried it with 2 t-mobile SIM cards at various Los Angeles locations, and this is what happens: I get 4G connection for hours, at 4mbps to 10mbps download, and 0.7mbps to 1.8mbps upload. I imagined that I am getting download via the 2100MHz antenna but a slower upload because of the lack of 1700MHZ antenna. At those speeds, I don't think I am getting 4G LTE, or even 42+ or 21+. MY widget says HSDPA, HSPAP, UMTS and EDGE at various times. Then, after working for hours, I loose 4G like performance and I only get EDGE connection. Nothing seems to be a trigger. It just randomly connects at 4G/3G or at EDGE. Once on EDGE, no matter what I do (reset, turn off and on, reset APN, etc) it won't change to 4G/3G. It just changes whenever it wants. What is going on here? What can I do to reliably get 4G/3G? I don't even mind the 4mbps/1.8mbps speeds, if it reliably connected and stayed connected to that speed. I have to stock AT&T Android 4.1.1, no rooting, APN at epc.tmobile.com (reset to default), no proxys. Is there a thread or webpage where they can teach me how to set up everything properly on my phone settings to get a factory unlocked AT&T galaxy note 2 to work reliably on t-mobile 4G? I don't even need full 4G, but I can't work with EDGE.

2. What are the correct settings to get MMS to work with t-mobile on an unlocked AT&T galaxy note 2? my APN is the default tmobile APN, no proxys, MMSC at http: // mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc, not MMS proxy or port, MCC at 310, MNC at 260, APN type at default,supl,mms, APN protocol IPv4 and APN enabled. however, it still won't send picture messages sayin "server response error."

3. I read that in some markets tmobile will move the 3G to 1900MHz. What speeds are we talking about? Will it come to LA? or does it make sense for me to stay on tmobile on the hopes that the 1900MHz will work with the AT&T note 2?

4. Will rooting my unlocked AT&T SGH-I317 help with getting reliable tmobile 4G, or is this a hardware problem so rooting will be of no help? (if it is hardware, then how come i get 4G at times?).

5. Also, I factory unlocked my Note 2 (AT&T gave me the unlock codes), but will rooting my phone undo the unlock?

6. Finally, is it even possible to get descent 3G/4G (non EDGE) data with the AT&T SGH-I317 on the t-mobile 4G network? again, I do not need LTE or true 4G, or 42+ or 21+, as long as I can get about 4-6mbps down 1-2mbsp up, like 3G. Just not EDGE.

Thank you if you have any suggestion to any portion of this long question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bruce777:
Just as the thread reads everyone; Should I take the plunge?

I've rooted every Android device that I've owned:

-HTC hero

-Nook Color

-Hp Touchpad

-Optimus V

-Motorola Triumph (was bay far the easiest to root, I just downloaded terminal emulator and typed in about 4 commands then BOOM -- ROOT)

-Asus Transformer

Now I'm on a GSM GNex...and I love it! Stock JB is great but I keep wondering if I'm missing anything. The flashaholic in me is VERY tempted and I miss Cyanogenmod--to me it IS Android.

Many of the Dev threads (it seems to me) were about getting JB on the ICS Gnex, but I've already got it.

Any suggestions would be great
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
are there any features you need to have that you can only get from rooting?

i personally always root. i need/use cifs, which is not available in the stock kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac3theone:
This phone practically asks to be rooted :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bruce777:
I guess it's more of a freedom thing; I want to install what I wanna install and I want to remove what I wanna remove.

I don't want to kill any pandas but...Is the current CM10 JB rom better than stock? If so, I'll probably root, if not I'll just stick with stock until some new Android Sweet Treat comes down the pipeline.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamhlj:
The only thing I can think of is backing up your data for things like games. I don't know if google automatically backs that stuff up. So if you get perfect scores on angry birds in space, you would have to play the damn game all over again if you ever had to reset your phone. But maybe I am wrong about that.

And the rooting is super easy. Just run one of the root tools on here, and it pretty much takes care of itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CatThief:
Yep for sure you can't restore Angry Birds game scores without root. If you are running Jelly Bean, no application -- not even an Angry Birds backup app -- will allow writing to the system files. It'll back them up, but it won't have permission to restore them. No way no how.

Sent from my rooted GSM Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes you can restore backups without root. App/game data is not store in /system -- it is stored in /data, and the adb backup command allows you to restore to /data (which is poorly implemented by the way, as one can gain root access based on this and will allow anyone to gain access to your data).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 4177996:
To me, not rooting this phone is like ordering a steak well done. Sure you can enjoy it well done, and yes there is a slight risk when ordering it medium rare, but 99.9% of the time, you're going to be glad you did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donsh00tmesanta:
yes might as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CatThief:
Are you sure about that? In Jelly Bean?

Sent from my rooted GSM Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You questioning me?

:D

Yes, I'm sure. In ICS and JB only. Will not work on earlier versions of android, and requires at least version 10 of adb
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CatThief:
LOL

Ok, let me get my head around this. adb can be used if the phone is *not* rooted? That's a bit scary.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Correct, it can. Although it won't have root access EXCEPT for being able to write to /data (which you can use as an exploit to gain root). Yup, not very secure.

The only reason I rooted my nexus was to get rid of ads in apps. They really annoy me and now I enjoy adfree (mostly) living.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
If that scares you, you can disable usb debugging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2850315:
You don't need to root to write to mount system. Unlocked bootloader is enough. "fastboot boot recovery.img" and you can mount the system using clockwork and do all your work through adb. It does prevent things from being changed on the fly, but it all depends on how adamant you are about keeping as stock as possible. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HinotoriBR:
No root, no Titanium Backup...

Can't live without backups that really work...

So, it is not possible for me, to not root any android device I own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CatThief:
Will Titanium Backup work properly with USB Debugging disabled?

Sent from my rooted GSM Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Yes. Usb debugging just enables the adb interface.

Hi guys!

I know that its a very bad time for our phone development.....

Installation:

- You can install this rom like other custom roms with CWM. You should make all wipes before flash it.

Bugs:

- You know it based on Cm7. Cam video record bug it has.

- Before flashing this rom or any cm7 based roms, note your mac address. Because sometimes cm7 cant get mac address. You may need it. And you must write it to /data/misc/wifi/config file. It is at the last line. Like 00:00:00:00:00. You must change it to your mac address to connect wifi.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grizzlywan:
So my HTC EVO 4G LTE has been treating me very nicely.. great battery life and CM10 is smooth as ever.. the kernel I have is great and I get a 2.0 GHz overclock without problems. The weirdest issue has been haunting me lately. On CyanogenMod 10, I am unable to use the 4G LTE service that is located on a tower about 150 feet away from me at this moment. The issue is that while the phone connects to the service and I can call and text, for some reason data never works. I get 4 bars that I could only get from this tower, and looking in the phone information section of *#*#4636#*#*, I see that the tower shows up as LTE. Now it used to be that on Sense, I could turn on airplane mode, wait about a minute, and then connect to 4G LTE.. but now not even airplane mode can get me connected to it. There should be no reason that the phone can't connect to the tower because the signal, when connected, is very very strong. Does anyone know of any potential fixes for this issue? It's been haunting me that I'm located here in Dallas with a 4G LTE phone on Sprint next to a known working 4G LTE tower and people around me with Samsung Galaxy S3s and other 4G LTE phones are connected but I can't. Thanks for your help in advance.

By the way, I did search the forums and surprisingly no one has an issue similar to this in any of the topics that I checked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grizzlywan:
Bump.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Did you post the issue in decks thread? That's where I would post, if that's the ROM you're on.

from my flying AOKP'd Evo LTE and xda premium
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Have you updated your radio's? Are you s- on? What hboot if so?

The newest OTA was supposed to help with lte. It had new radios for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grizzlywan:
I installed the new radio from the OTA onto my phone and I thought it'd fix the problems but the problem was only temporarily fixed when I reflashed CM10. 4G LTE worked for a few hours.. but then after I went into a building, the signal dropped to 1 bar, turned on 3g, and call quality became utter crap.

I would post in deck's thread but I'm not sure the issue is specific to CM10.. I used a sense rom and for the first few hours of use it worked great and I would get strong LTE signal.. but after that I seemed to again be able to connect to the tower that's transmitting 4G LTE and in the network settings it would show up as LTE, but no data connection could be established.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
May sound simple, but did u do a full wipe between roms? Factory reset? I know after going s-off I had to call sprint so they could send me an update to fix data and calls.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grizzlywan:
Yes, I did full wipes between roms including factory reset and system wipes. Only my SD cards are left unwiped.

I called sprint support today inquiring about that but the guy just had me go into ##72786# and reset my network connection settings.. didn't help the problem.. Any name to that update that I can ask them for that'll help me get it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
They should have recognized it if it was an error. So calling sprint won't do much. There's an app called network in google play store. Has the option to switch to different bands, or a lot more than any stock program will let u switch to.

Try switching from CDMA auto to Evdo/LTE or the other LTE options and roaming bands they have on there and see if it helps. Hopefully someone with a fix will see this thread soon enough. Only other thing I can think of is the ##4636# (digits may be wrong)and switch some settings in there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grizzlywan:
Nothing of the sort fixes the issue.. I'm gonna try reflashing radios.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] muffinhunter:
I'm on 1.15, S-On, HTCDev unlocked, CM10.I have the same issues.

When i reflash the kernel, LTE will work for several hours, and then I get the gray bars of doom. Oddly, I still get a data connection with some apps (Reddit Is Fun, etc.), even though the phone shows no data. It's been so frustrating that I've considered going back to sense...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grizzlywan:
Yeah that's exactly what happens to me.. and no matter my attempts to airplane mode the phone refuses to connect to 4G LTE data after a few days of reflashing.. So odd.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] muffinhunter:
Just clean flashed deck's most recent build from IRC (9/19?) and I'm having the same problem as before. This time it didn't even make it an hour before LTE went away.

And after searching around, apparently we're the only people in the entire world experiencing this issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
I wouldn't say entire world because there's isn't a worldwide supply of evos lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grizzlywan:
I.E. His statement still stands because we would still be the only people in the world having this problem..

I am honestly stumped as to how to fix this.. Sprint support can't help and I sat in the irc and people would tell me to force lte mode in network settings.. Doesn't work.. Because even though I get data connection.. I then lose the ability to call and text.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regalpimpin:
I tried paranoid, cm10, and aokp. I couldn't get lte on any of them. And phone calls were at max volume, distorting the speaker even, no matter where the actual volume indicator is.

Went back to a sense based rom and no problems.

1.12 panda hboot, s-off'd, with the new firmware.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grizzlywan:
I'm too hooked to cm10 to switch back now lol. This is unfortunate..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tjkrz:
I'm having the same Issue. Seems to have started with a Rev of CM10 around the beginning of September. I have been running a Sense ROM for the past few weeks, but I check in every so often to see if deck's made an update. Nothing has worked so far. Anyone have an update or solution to this problem?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bntran02:
I am having the exact same issue as you with the "Greg bars of death". I had good consistent 4g at one point in early September (possible unofficial 9/6 build based on saved speed tests) but not since then. I have also found that having LTE off gives me more reliable 3G data.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
Join the club... it's the typical LTE connection issue with the EVO LTE. Its not your phone or updates. Even a 100% stock EVO LTE with all the updates has this issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tjkrz:
Not for me. It is not a problem on Sense ROMs. Only with Jelly Bean ROMs based off CM10.
