[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Duc_Rider:
I know it seems a lot of work to read through over 100 pages in the post. However it is the only way for you to find all the tips and tricks posted by everyone. Some may not apply to you and some might. However please note that this thread was created for the AT&T Note 2 version. There is differences in the hardware and the modems of the Canadian and USA versions of the Note 2. This MOD though is just a switching ON of settings in the baseband so it should apply. As indicated make a backup copy of your current baseband. Then apply the MOD. After that you will need to test if it works or not for your device.

I know for a fact that there is issues with WIND Mobile compatibility. I have a ATT Note 2 that worked on T-Mobile without any changes, as T-Mobile is farming and is allowing GSM compatibility now. However WIND Mobile in Canada is not GSM compatible and your device has to work 100% on HSPA (AWS). I applied the mode and under Mobile Network > Network Operators > Default Setup > Options > Manual. I was now able to get WIND listed while before only Rogers, Bell, and Telus was listed. I had to manually select WIND to connect to the network. The device into Auto would only recognize the Rogers network. My theory is that the ATT Note 2 is a GSM based device. So by default it is going to use the GSM network and it will not want to connect to an HSPA/AWS network. The preferred network for the device will always probably be GSM. ATT also removed to menu selections to choose between networks in the Android Mobile Networks menu. That is why some people have had to flash a T-Mobile ROM to the device while keeping the ATT modem. As T-Mobile has both networks and had to include the option in the menu.

The Note 2 I317M would depend on its parent brand and what network it uses. If it was Rogers they are a GSM based network. So the device would probably default to primary GSM even if the AWS is activated. Now the issue is getting the device to accept the HSPA/AWS as a primary. In Android you would also have to be able to switch the primary network in the Mobile Networks menu from GSM to HSPA. Test it and go from there, don't expect it to work right away though. Assume you are going to have to trouble shoot and get it to work by trial and error.

The issue I have now:

In the Service Mode I was able to get to the band selection menu and select WCDMA as primary. I am now able to connect to the WIND Mobile network and Data. Because the primary default was GSM it didn't want connect to HSPA when the GSM network was available. The Data however always says 4G all the time. On GSM it would change to E (Edge), 4G, and 4LTE depending on the speed. Those on T-Mobile or the other networks that used this mod. Does your data network symbol change or always stay the same? Any way things that can be done to improve data performance after doing this mod and finally connecting to the network?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crutzulee:
Has anyone tried applying this mod while on DN3v5? Do I to revert back to a stock rom? The OP mentions stock touchwizz which DN3 kind of is...sort of.....well not really...lol

Anyway, I was thinking of trying WIND for a month or two but not really looking to screw up my setup which has been ridiculously stable for me..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Duc_Rider:
DN3v5 is just a ROM. This MOD doesn't affect the ROM in anyway. It is just switching on the AWS settings of the Modem. Make a back up of your modem and settings as per post#1 and follow the instructions. Go from there after that. At worst you would just have to flash back to a stock modem which there is a lot of them on here for every baseband.

Cheers

i did all the steps in the post. after i flash the att radio the phone does not work with a wind sim card.

This is a different story [...]

You should be on 4.2.1 or 4.1.1

On stock firmware to ulock your phone radio bands.Its quite simple.Just do a search on xda and you will find it.

Good luck

I tried the steps and reading through as much of this thread as possible but I still can't find the answer.

I can not seem to get LTE, only 4g at best. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gyankamp1:
4G 《=》Lte
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
Not in the US.

2G = EDGE

3G = HSPA

4G = HSPA+

LTE = LTE

It's a bull**** marketing term. 4G is really LTE, but when LTE came out carriers who didn't have LTE, but who had speeds as FAST as LTE (T-Mobile US) argued that their HSPA+ (which was like 20+ Mbps) should be called 4G. And that's why we have this naming system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ldanny:
I did the speedtest and it was at 10mb/s on the ATT Note 2, and 40mb/s on my Tmobile phone....

Hello,

I just bought the ATT note 4 but still it is not on my hands.......I saw that this device has many bands but as I am using t-mobile I would like to enable the aws band .......any help?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] iNeedICS:
I've done some research, and to my knowledge there are No AWS bands on an AT&T Note 4

But you should able to pick up LTE just fine

Sent from my Glamourous Gold Galaxy S6 #Alliteration?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
There's no AWS mod for the Note 4, but even then you don't really need it. It will pick up LTE fine, like you said. Additionally, anywhere there's LTE, T-Mobile also has HSPA+/4G running on 1900 MHz (Band 2). So you don't need Band 4/AWS unless you live somewhere with no T-Mobile LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fingaluna:
Thanks for this Mod.

Very simple instructions - took less than 10 minutes.

Worked great.

My Telus Note 2 will now work on the Wind AWS network.

IMEI changed

Hi,

Thanks for sharing, but I'm not sure why after following all the steps in this thread, my Note 2's IMEI changed from a very long number to 0 / 06 (I manged to restore & get it fixed however) and it stopped working with the Chatr sim card that's been working just fine before. Is that weird? My Note 2 canadian version, running on official kitkat 4.4. One minor thing I noticed is upon dialing *#7284#, in UART it's checked as MODEM and in USB it's checked as PDA, unlike at galaxynote2root.com (sorry I'm not allowed to post full link), UART is checked as PDA, not MODEM. Is that probably the reason why? Please advice!

I'm getting terrible signal when I use the AWS mod on Wind Mobile. Anyone experiencing the same problem and know how to fix it? I followed the instructions in the OP exactly but getting half the signal I would normally get from my Nexus 4.

Hello everyone

sorry for the inconvenience

I unlocked my sgh-i317m Koodo event To use wind made the procedure to activate the 4g works for 2 minutes and then just there a way to fix this?

i use android 4.4.2 i317MVLUDNH2

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bowman134:
I picked up a Rogers Note 2 locked running 4.3. I flashed the stock 4.1.1 firmware, carrier unlocked through the dialer code and then ran the qcn patch after downloading the Samsung drivers. After reboot, everything worked. Then flashed cyangenmod 12.1 and had signal issues. So I flashed a pac man rom running 4.4.4 and signal is good.. Data speed is decent, I mean considering its Wind anyways. Great post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] GSX_Dan:
WIND modem (T889V) on SGH-i317M (now with WIND) possible?

I know the answer isn't out there as I've been searching for years! I've had my i317m from Telus converted to work on WIND for 3 years now using the AWS mod (dummy zip) but this never worked well when I was on the highway as it doesn't switch roaming towers well...it gives me no connection at times or hangs on 1 bar on home network when a true WIND phone would go between roaming and home networks when signal was obviously un-usable anymore.

Before anyone says, yes I was using a WIND ROM(no modem), but I could never get a T-mobile or WIND modem (T889 or T889V respectively)to be recognized, and believe me I tried them all. The baseband always says "unknown" and no connection. I believe it has something to do with different partition sizing? These are things which I need an expert to chime in.

So I would like a REAL WIND modem from a T889V to work together with a WIND ROM and that should solve my roaming issues. (any other ideas?)

I'm on Jellybean 4.3 (T889VVLUCMK4) still as I couldn't find newer rooted WIND roms with no modems(only ones I can use)

Modem I ended up using is from Rogers i317M (i317MVLUCMK5) with AWS mod and I have all the required bands enabled for proper roaming, checked via *#2263# (roaming for WIND in Canada is on Rogers, Bell, Telus)

I call on the experts on this site to chime in please, and there will be a few coffees/beers in it for ya!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bucko69:
Hi. I have a Rogers Note 2 (which is unlocked - I think) and rooted. I'd like to activate the AWS bands so that I can change providers to Wind. This is a very long thread over several years so before I download the files mentioned in the first post, I just wanted to ensure they are the most recent versions (if that matters). Thanks for any advice.

https://www.whistleout.ca/CellPhones/News/WIND-Mobile-Planning-4G-LTE

I'm not 100 percent up to date with wind mobile but it seems last year they just launched theyre new LTE network. I'm not sure if that has any effect on this modification. I'm not really sure what bands they're new LTE is running off. I'd imagine you'd be able to pop in a wind mobile LTE Sim card and you'd be able to use it I'm not sure if you have to mess with this modification to enable wind mobiles network on your phone.

Edit :

http://freeyourcellphone.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=134

Says rogers note 2 is compatible with any gsm network as long as they have the Sim card. Its just like my unlocked at&t note 2 on T-Mobile network I can pop in any Sim card. Wasn't sure about the spec of a rogers note 2 but it says it works with all gsm carriers once the phone is unlocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gyankamp1:
Well , about your question: the qcn file mentioned on first post is good.As long as i use it without any issue.

But BE SURE WHAT EXACTLY YOU ARE GOING TO DO.You are responsible for any damage AND ALWAYS DO A BUCKUP OF YOUR QCN ORIGINAL FILE.

-as a suggestion read all the steps enabling AWS bands one by one and check it.

NVM broken files means Bricked phone!

But If all going well you can enjoy 42Mb network.

Good luck

It'll be 2017 at least before Wind offers LTE.

On a fully stock Att unlocked note 2, with no mod, currently getting 6mbps download on a straight talk tmobile side sim.

My question is, will aws band unlocking higher this speed?

At the top of the Att note 2, it's already showing 4G...without this mod_
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hnic32:
imo, it will because i was getting the same thing on the tmobile side when i first unlocked my att note 2. enabling aws with this method will unlock 24 mpbs speeds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
Looks like like DC HSDPA is not supported where you are. 6 mbps looks ok for SC HSDPA and max speed is dependent on lot of variables.

Best way to test is to use a tmobile device and compare with your device.

Moving from 3G to H+ is normal, that is network config to switch to 3g when no data or low data is being used
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjravi:
Tmobile also has 3g/4g on 1900 Mhz (Band 2) in few sites and going forward this band will host 3g/4g and aws will be used for lte. Stock att supports 1900 band, enabling aws you will get 3g/4g speeds all over US and DC hsdpa (~15+ Mbps) speeds in many locations.

Query

Hello Guys,

I m using AT&T Note 2 with T-mobile, and facing the problem that u ppl have Sorted out, but I m still confused as to how to begin even after reading all the post and i tried to go ahead reading after post#112 by Ruinkhan. But Since i m using Mac i m unable to open .exe files. I m pretty much confused and unable to figure out any option. IS there any other possible option or I need to switch to A Windows PC.

:eek:

Introduction

The following is the Style Guide for the wordpress site that xda-university is on. I posted the original style guide based on drew.edu's wordpress style guide with a minor modification to locate device specific content in a anchor as an appendix chapter to your guide.

I figured it would be handy to keep a copy of this here so that future documents can be included into xda-university faster, because they were written with the Style Guide in mind.

Anyways, the stuff below here should be updated anytime the Style Guide on xda-university updates.

On the other hand, it's also a place where we can discuss the Style Guide here on the forum.

(the formatting is currently wrong, because I am just posting this now, and I'm lazy. I'll update this later so it looks right.)

All Sites

Page Titles Should Use Capitalized Case. This Line is an Example of That.

Use headers h2-4 to define sections. Separate content logically to improve readability.

Headers should use capitalized case (This is an Appropriate Title Example)

Headers should typically never be given additional styling such as italics or bolding.

Never underline text. This is a style reserved for links only.

ALL CAPS should never be used unless it is the proper name of something like XDA.

Never make a link that says “click here.”Instead link the words pertaining to the link.

Example: “For more, view our full calendar of events.”

Use alt text on photos, captions only when appropriate.

Only use tables for data, not layout.

No font colors.

Single spaces after periods, not double. (<-This it too many spaces)

Device Specific Information

Unless the page is written for a specific device, put the device specific information towards the end of the page and use an anchor to link to it.

(shamelessly borrowed from http://www.drew.edu/wp-guide/web-style-guide)

This is WIP and I am VERY open to ideas!

Note:

◘ While submitting/publishing, it is also a good practice to justify text. Justification should NOT be done by selecting the entire body of work and justifying all at once. Justify only individual paragraphs at one-go.

◘ It is also helpful to switch from Visual Editor to Text Editor before submission to iron out formatting issues that one may face. One of the most common issues that crop up are double para-breaks, which will show up as something like this in the text editor -

<p style="text-align: justify;">Sample Text----</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> Text here ----</p>

The line represented in boldface should ideally be deleted manually via the text editor.

◘ Keep sentences short and crisp to improve readability index score. Make a paragraph-break after 4-5 lines.
