Which Note 2 supports more networks and frequencies; and therefore, which would be more suitable for international travel. Is the Verizon Note 2 even pentaband?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rhiannon224:
T mobile version because it's gsm which is going to work overseas. Verizon is a CDMA and I haven't read that it has gsm support.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vinas1:
Yup, the T-Mobile version will work in more places overseas -- Especially Europe. Just in case, you might want to ask this in the Verizon area also just to make sure. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
I'm confused because on Samsungs website, http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SCH-I605TSAVZW-specs

the Verizon Model has the GSM frequencies,

is it GSM if unlocked; i believe the Note 2 is already unlocked by verizon, will it work on GSM frequencies internationally?

correct me if I'm wrong, thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
the verizon Galaxy Note II apparently has the GSM radios,

also has LTE; doesn't AT&T LTE work along same frequencies as verizon LTE

or is the verizon LTE exlusively to CDMA?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
All Galaxy Note 2 devices seem to have all WCDMA, GSM, and LTE bands.

But what I understand is that Verizon version is considered as a "world" phone. I know that they tell me that I can use their Galaxy Note 2 on the European Networks.

I have played around with the bands on my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 and can get the WCDMA and LTE working. So I don't know if the Modem firmware in all Galaxy Note 2 are the same and just need to be activated by the carrier's sim card or not. Someone please educate us on the this. I know that their is talk of needing OTA update to activate the LTE within T-Mobile GN2. But if the Modem is all the same then can just updating or exchanging the sim card could do the same? Or does the nv file also needs to be updated to activate the band/s as well?

The question is not if Galaxy Note 2 (all verisons) have the bands. But how to (the actual process) activate the band, in question, and get the Galaxy Note 2 in working order with the carrier of choice? What is the method? How to do the process of this method?

Please correct me if I am getting this wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
^ good point, and also just to ask about the verizon note 2 again, i thought it carries carries an an additional radio for CDMA, does this mean that the verizon note 2 model has better capabilities worldwide' since it is virtually compatible with all networks in the world (simply tweaks to the frequencies to the radio can get the verizon variant working virtually anywhere) please correct me if I'm wrong here. thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatsitsnamenow:
N/m ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] papabear:
Problem I have seen in the past with Verizon world phones is that the game frequencies only work overseas. And lte is gsm band. Which is one of the few reasons Verizon phones have a sim slot to begin with
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerdydesi:
All recent Verizon LTE phones have GSM radios built in as well as their own CDMA/LTE radio. The LTE radio is only compatible with their network.

Some of these phones are even shipped out of the box unlocked and can be used immediately on GSM networks in the U.S.

If you do get the Verizon Note II and want to use it on T-Mobile, it will not have support for their HSPA+ 42mbps network, I believe it maxes out at 21mbps, as with all other Note II's around the world except for T-Mobiles.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
But doesn't Verizon use LTE on the 700 band just like AT&T and future TMobile LTE?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks

Please correct me if I'm wrong, thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
So the Verizon Note2 is like the AT&T Note2 & Sprint Note2 (supporting 21Mbps HSPA+ but not 42Mbps like T-Mobile) but all only with their own respective LTE?..wouldn't it be more cost effective for Samsung just to make 1 phone with all the hardware to support all (isn't the iPhone5 like that now?) or is it cost prohibitive or do carriers not want to make it easier to unlock?

Are we still confident that the T-Mobile Note2 is the best if we want the flexibility to use on all carriers? How often is >21Mbps HSPA+ seen in real world use & why is the disabled LTE not listed at http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1877 ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
So, which is better then, Verizon or T-Mobile? Verizon's Note 2 also includes a CDMA radio whereas the T-Mobile version does not. If you are using the Note 2 in the US, wouldn't you have more flexible options in terms of which carrier to use?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
So do we consider the Verizon Note2 even more carrier flexible than T-Mobile's Note2 (as I was about ready to buy the T-Mobile Note2 to try their $30/mo plan but now having some doubts..if I want this tomorrow I need to order soon) ?

-Thnx :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
Well LTE On the Verizon Note 2 is only compatible with Verizon's Network. Even if unlocked; the phone's firmware only recognizes LTE if only the Verizon 750 band is detected. Verizon has its own exclusive LTE bands compared to AT&T and Future T-Mobile LTE (sharing the same LTE bands)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] OwenW71:
I cannot speak to the CDMA radio issue, but I am positive that Verizon LTE will not work with any GSM LTE phone. The frequencies are similar, but Verizon is using a different LTE protocol. I asked that question a long time ago, thinking that LTE would finally allow roaming between Verizon and AT&T, but they are too clever to allow such a democratic system to function. They will remain fundamentally incompatible, not because they need to be, but because they want it that way to keep you locked to your carrier by your choice of device. Nice, eh?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Daughain:
The Verizon NoteII will (in theory) connect to any gsm carrier. How to do so, I don't know. :)

Sent from my very "non-stock" TP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
^^^ Well, the Verizon Note 2 will not be able to work with another carrier's LTE than itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jayhammy:
my experience

Hey folks,

I've got the Verizon Note 2 and I love it. If you're willing to unlock the bootloader and then install a hack onto your device, you'll easily be able to swap the SIM card out and use it just about anywhere. Yes, the phone is carrier unlocked (not the same as bootloader unlocked). The issue is that in the settings, they won't let you add the specific APNs for the carriers you need. I"m not sure how else to get around that without installing some of the hacks. I managed to do it and it works beautifully on Canada's Bell Mobility, HSPA+ is screamingly fast and the LTE on VErizon in the States is just insanely fast. My recommendation: get the Verizon version because they've built out their LTE much more than their rivals at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ihyln:
On anantech the reviewer stated that the tmobile version would be the most compatible. If you get vzw note2 and switch you wont get lte on tmob or att. Quite frankly vzw is too expensive and the coverage from tmobile is getting better by the month. Not to mention their business pricing is better than any of the other carriers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EmceeGeek:
I'd personally go with the gsm model even though Verizon is a world phone. More countries use the TMo bands.

So wanted to know if there is any other way to reset the flash counter for 9100G?

[HTC Amaze 4G] 99piotrek:
I rooted my Amaze with ENERGY ROM Free hot spot was ok for first 12 hours than every time I want to open website I receive T-Mobile page with 14.99 per month fee. Is that something normal or can I do anything to avoid that fee. My device is rooted but I have still S-ON.Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
What is Energy Root? Do you mean that you're rooted and flashed Energy Rom?

There is a thread in regards in how to obtain free tethering. It might be buried a few pages but look in the Themes & Applications Section.
[HTC Amaze 4G] wolf_7669:
If it worked before but not now and no changes have been made, then I'd day T-Mobile saw your phone using it without the hotspot plan add-on and blocked you.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple others mention their cell provider seeing them tethering for free and cutting them off. IIRC, the custom ROM removes the block in the phone's software, but they can also block you from their end.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ninjistix:
yes ive noticed metropcs doing that when i was with them, if they notice a constant spike in data during peak hours they tried to block my data or reducing it for a few hrs to "teach me a lesson" but overall there should be a way to tether undetectable to make your data usage seem normal or i think their might be ways to block redirecting requests... or at least i saw something like that in the "pimp my rom" app or was it "rom toolbox pro".. not really sure.. but hey we have google nothing is impossible with google... :D

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jburks725:
I flashed the root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3 image the other night and performed a full factory reset in stock recovery. The 16GB external SD card I've been using for a couple weeks was working fine with TiBu Pro 5.7.2 on multiple ROMs (all JB-based, but on top of ICS firmware of course). Now, with the JB firmware underneath, TiBu appears to "lose" write access to /storage/extSdCard after a couple operations. I was able to restore a handful of APKs from my last backup (FrostyJB v10.1 TMO, with edited build.props), and then I had to force-stop the restore because it hung. When I went back to TiBu and checked the Backup Directory location in Prefs, it said it did not have write access to the directory. I have to unmount and remount the card in order to get the rest of the system to recognize it as writeable again after this (or reboot).

Other applications seem to work just fine with the extSdCard. I'm able to save photos to it, copy files via AFT (I have a Mac), and download via the browser to /storage/extSdCard/Download. Only TiBu seems to have problems. TiBu is able to read/write to the internal SD card with no problems, and I've been able to freeze/unfreeze applications and restore backups of call logs and messages (saved to Dropbox, not the external SD card) without issue, so I don't think it's a problem with TiBu's root permissions.

Anyone else seeing this?

Short of formatting the card with the JB image and testing again, does anyone have any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jburks725:
Crap, looks like other apps are starting to have problems with the external SD card. I took it out and ran several copy/delete cycles via an SD card reader on my Mac without issue, so I don't think it's the card itself. I also had no issues with the card using the ICS firmware (even with JB ROMs on top of it).

I've edited the title of the thread. Is anyone have trouble with an external SD card in JB? I've tried formatting it, and that didn't appear to fix the issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jburks725:
Some more info. I found an old Class 4 2GB card laying around and TiBu and other apps seem to be able to read/write to it just fine (so far). The 16GB Class 10 card I was using, despite seeming to be fine according to my computer, doesn't work reliably with the phone since I updated to JB. Not sure if the speed of the card has anything to do with this, but is anyone else having trouble with Class 10 cards? If so, how big is your card?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jburks725:
One last update--I reformatted the 16GB Class 10 card using exFAT instead of FAT32. It seems to be happy with it so far. I was able to complete a couple of backups to it with TiBu. I will test it again periodically throughout the evening and report back.

Also, if it fails again later, I will remount the 2GB Class 4 card and do some periodic testing on that to see if it's a situation where things work immediately after mount, but then start failing later. If that's the case, does anyone have any ideas of how to start troubleshooting? Would logcat capture a filesystem being remounted read-only?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tnosz:
I had the same issue but I ended up flashing CWM then TWRP. Now TWRP can see my external and internal.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jburks725:
Thanks for the feedback, but I'm not talking about a recovery having problems with the external SD card. This is applications on the ROM itself.

So far tonight I've run several TiBu forced redo backups and taken several pictures, and they've all worked properly to the external SD card. The computer format to exFAT seems to have helped. I won't call the issue fixed until it works properly for a few days.
