one more question, when should I flash twrp?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
If you are going to run Agent then don't worry about it. Agent is designed to run on locked phones. It's when you are flashing ROMs that you need a custom recovery.

I'm sick of slow 3g speeds, my area got wimax so we are going to be last for lte (not that I got any wimax with my gs2) so I've been thinking of switching to Verizon... I'm still not decided but if I do decide can I take the phone with me or is it a waste of 800 dollars if I do it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I believe it's possible, but I'm not familiar with the process. And it definitely looks like it has some challenges from what I've read on some of the posts for going to TMobile, Boost, and so forth. I would definitely look at some of those threads to see what it involved.

If you did pay $800, you can probably sell it and get most of your money back.

As for LTE, I think if you got WiMax in your area, you'll probably get LTE sooner or later. Maybe you should ask Sprint when they plan to bring it to you market. I lieve in araa that didn't have WiMax, but I could drive fifteen minutes and get to areas that did. But we got LTE in the areas where I live and work. And most of the WiMax near me got LTE as well.

As for 3G with LTE, although the speeds are increased, in my area, it's not that big of a bump. It's only about .50Mbps, especially compared to the LTE speeds. I find I'm averaging around 1.2Mpbs on 3G, whereas before it was around .8Mbps.

Plus, you'll definitely want to see what the Verizon are getting, and maybe specifically on the GN2. Then you'll need to consider how, if any, change to how you'll use the GN2. Are you going to use more data, say more media streaming? I'm not that familiar with Verizon, but I'm not sure if they offer unlimited data. I know they use to. It's possible they may throttle as well. If there isn't a unlimited, then you'll need to know how much you use and how much that usage will cost on them.

I understand your frustration about the speeds. When I had the BlackBerry Curve for Sprint, which was on the iDEN network, the data speeds were so slow, I literally couldn't stream audio without a lot buffering; It was like being back on the 54.4k modem days on the PC. Going to the Evo 4G from that, even without the WiMax available, was like lightening fast. Sprint will bring LTE. It's just a question of when.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] musclehead84:
It depends on the frequency that the sprint note 2 supports. It has to have the 700 mhz frequency for verizon lte. I havent looked at sprints note 2 frequencys on this phone or not. Look into and see what all frequencies the sprint variant supports.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Lte will never work the sprint lte frequencies are 800, 1900 and 2500mhz and I'm not even certain current device's support 800 or 2500mhz yet as they won't be available until mid 2014 when iden is fully decommissioned for 800 and wimax is decommissioned for 2500

☆SoA: Son's of Android™☆

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] luisrodg:
The fact that your area got Wimax has no relation whatsoever to the order or timeframe that it will receive LTE.

For Sprint LTE info please refer to s4gru.com, specifically http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/ in which they have basically ALL the LTE rollout information. Moreover, if you donate any amount (say $3) you become a sponsor and have access to maps with the towers that already have LTE etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinaldistic:
My area isn't even mentioned on the site... I tried searching my state and the biggest city around and the wasn't any matches. I live in Utah, neither Utah nor salt Lake City are mentioned on any of the 4 rounds of rollouts... Yet I got Wimax

on how to root my tablet, don't even know what happened it gives me an error

AHHH!!! PLEASE HELP!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KinAndTonic:
Ok, I'm about to pull my hair out trying to fix this. About a month ago I flashed Scott's CleanROM ATT SE 1.5. Before that I was rooted, but on stock rom. I really just wanted to get all the ridiculous bloatware off my Note 2. Anyway, the flash worked fine, but afterwards my call signal descreased dramatically. It's not always terrible in certain places in my city, but I miss a lot of calls, sometimes at home it shows the circle with a line through it, showing no service at all. Many times, I will have 2 or 3 bars, but when I go to make the call I lose service altogther.

I reflashed the rom, flashed another rom and now am running stock rooted I317UCALK7. Nothing has changed with my call reception.

It wasn't like this before I flashed CleanRom. In doing my research I've found a few people with similar problems, but no real solution. I know that flashing a modem is worth a try, but I've not found any information that can point me to the right modem for my area. I think I'm using the same modem that came stock on my phone and worked in the beginning.

Any thoughts or experience with this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] diamantericos:
I have same issue in the last two days my signal has been dropping its really annoying
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
Honestly... if your objective was to get all the ATT bloatware off your Note 2, you should flash CleanROM ACE 4.6.1 This one is built off the N7105XXDMB3 International base (not the ATT base which SE 1.5 is built from). I'm on ATT network and have been running the International CleanROM since December... absolutely love it.. great performance... never an issue. During install on 4.6.1, just select ATT as your carrier and select the ATT signal icons (if those are the ones you wish to utilize). Also during install, you can select (via Aroma installer) which Google and Samsung apps you want/ don't want to install. As far as the radio, you can flash modem separately (since it writes to it's own partition) and see which one works best for you. I am currently running the UCAMA4 ATT modem on the N7105XXDMB3 rom. Here's a link I posted regarding this modem:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38056319&postcount=10

Again, if you objective is to minimize the ATT bloat, go with CleanROM ACE 4.6.1.... select ATT as your carrier... and try either the more recent MA4 ATT modem or the previous LK7 modem for signal reception. Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] riassan:
ok so now your running stock rooted, if you want to debloat search for mr robinson's debloater, its aroma installer as well as DoctorQMM has mentioned. if you are looking for modems, you have 3 options available lj2, lk7 and latest ma4. you said your phone is running lk7? if you have a custom recovery what im going to ask you will not matter. have you checked for system updates or tried flashing stock rooted deodexed ma4? i would try lj2 modem and see if my signal cleans up, since you mentioned it was fine before SE 1.5. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KinAndTonic:
Well, I have flashed all three modems without any change. Seems very strange. Don't really know what to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac11700:
I would Odin flash back to 100% stock...use triangle away from the market to your phone. .and not allow it to update via the ota update that will be pushed to your phone when you do.

See if this corrects the issue. If it doesn't. .take your phone in for service.

If it does fix it...re-root...download twrp...make a nand backup of your stock/rooted phone and save it to your external sd card.

Then you can go about de-bloating your phone.

Personally. ..I think you have had a bad download of cleanrom to start..and possibly a bad sim card afterwards.

It happens from time to time. .but by flashing back to stock. .resetting your counter to normal. .you can at least return your phone if necessary.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KinAndTonic:
Thanks Mac, that's kind of what I was thinking. As I search these forums and the internet, it's difficult to pin down a source for my original stock rom. I was a newb at the beginning of this, so no, I did not make a backup of my original rom. If it wouldn't take too much time, would anyone be able to point me to a stock rom for my particular phone?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KinAndTonic:
Ugh. Ok, so I got as far as using Odin, passing, but then got stuck on boot at the Samsung logo. Everything I read said to reboot into stock recovery, but I can't seem to do that. When I'm stuck, the only way I know of turning off the phone is to take the battery out. I put it back in and quickly press volume-up, home, and power. But it simply boots back to the Samsung logo and stays there with the logo pulsing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KinAndTonic:
Ok, little update. I can get into Download mode, and it does same I running Samsung Official. But not able to get into recovery seemingly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KinAndTonic:
Sorry for so many posts. lol BUT, I was able to use download mode to get into recovery and now I am back on stock official. About to use triangle away, then take to At&t
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac11700:
Glad you got it. .remember to delete any apps like busybox and superuser before returning it to the store. ..

Mac
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KinAndTonic:
Alright, I know I am on the home stretch, just one more hurdle. So, I have been working on getting the damn custom binary counter reset since last night. Right now the downloading screen lists, "Custom Binary Download: Yes (1 counts) Current Binary: Samsung Official System Status: Official"

I ran Triangle Away before I unrooted, multiple times in fact, I just can't ever get the counter to go to 0. I read somewhere, that if I am simply taking the phone into AT&T and not sending to to Samsung, then they don't actually check the binary counter. Anyway, I'm just really tired of dealing with this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KinAndTonic:
I did a factory reset each time. I just did another one. I'm still at 1 binary count. I am unrooted right now, so I guess I need to reroot and try again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac11700:
Pull your external sd card and leave it out. ...delete super user..busy box..your custom recovery... factory reset..let phone settle then power off..

Boot it back up.. and go through the first time set up..Don't Update It... see what it says then.

Then check your signal and data.See if the issue is resolved. You might not have to take it back. ..but I would just for peace of mind.

Mac
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KinAndTonic:
I did it! lol

Used this (http://rootgalaxys3iii.com/how-to-reset-rooted-galaxy-note-2-flash-counter/) to finally get Triangle Away to work on my phone and then did factory reset.

They gave me a new phone and it's working great
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac11700:
Good..make sure you do a nand back up of your stock rooted phone before you do anything else to it..if you are going to re-root that is.

I have a seperate 16 gig external micro sd card..that all it has on it is that..my music and my movies..It's worth the peace of mind and very conveniant having it backed up and saved off my phone on it's own disc..

Good Luck

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KinAndTonic:
I ended up having to take my phone back to AT&T and get a new one. It seems that this is a problem with a certain batch of Note 2's. When I went in for repair, a girl came in with the exact problem with her Note 2. Anyway, they gave me a new phone and it has been fine ever since.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CellularDr.:
ahh ok so this is normal lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
So hardware problem is the solution on this one?

I am having the same problem. Cell reception on my phone has been terrible. Reception seems to go in and out, doesn't seem to stay connected much if at all and calls drop all the time. The worst is that I have an ATT micro cell in the other room because I have always been in a dead spot and the signal from that drops out just from being in the other room.

I think it may have started happening when I rooted, but its hard to know. I have since switched to liquid smooth and this is actually very annoying.

Any ideas, or do I have to restore to stock and try and get a replacement? Well I run into this same problem again if I get a replacement and root and put other roms on that one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
I would restore to the stock rom for testing also. ..

That is clearly the baseline test to determine software versus hardware issues. ..

Just remember to wipe and factory reset the device before "and" after the Odin back to stock. ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
gregsarg, thanks. I restored a backup I had made shortly after I originally rooted, then followed the instructions that were listed earlier in the thread to unroot and reset the device to normal status. Still didn't really help. While I have no problem getting a signal, I will go from a decently strong LTE signal, to a 4g signal and sometimes to a 3g signal while in the same place. And the worst part is that I have trouble even keeping a decent connection to my microcell, which in my small apartment is never more than maybe 30 feet away.

Also, there was apparently an update for the phone issued maybe a month or two ago, that for some reason I am unable to complete. Just fails every time. Don't know if this is an update that may help with network issues.

Anyways, I contacted att tech support and they are shipping me a replacement under warranty. So, if it truly is a hardware problem, I guess I will know about it soon enough.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
Thought I should just jump in and say that the replacement phone I got seems to have fixed up all the problems. I get much better signal now that actually sticks and does not drop all the time.

I have since rooted and installed a different ROM and signal still works fine and much better than my original phone.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
First, find a recovery, cwm or twrp, for your device. Flash that with Odin. Then find a rom for your device. Put that on your sd card. With your recovery, cwm or twrp, flash it. I have an i957 so don't know what's available for the 7320. I think there is limited support for the 7320 but look in the development forum.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] aladin84:
Tnx,i found everything already here for flashing all files and procedure to make my tab root and etc...but fu..ing bodering me is branded tab and locked sim card on my provider..and i dont know can i change other stock rom of sweden or even other provider rom to use..so far i found only one custom rom for 7320 but no explaination for using to branded tab only for unlocked tabs..i dont want bricked device..otherwise i will wait for how long i dont know fo update of my lazy provider to bring 4.04...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] aladin84:
Hello,finally after cople hours of taking brave i started to do on my own risk everything and results are posititve.so i do exacly like imf ound here on forum and flased custom recovry and then flashed custom rom arciis and everything was fine for me..so conclusion is that you can even with branded tab make this becuse your modem and status of provider will not change and everything will work..threat can be closed and i hope for others that my scares will help for others with same problem...

Or other US carriers for that matter. I'm curious what other opinions are, especially since most of you are probably more informed than me.

Disable the FM radio?

Put non-removable AT&T software links, maybe on the home page.

Add some proprietary content to the Blink feed?

Paint their name on the front (a given).

Remove Google Maps in favor of AT&T Navigator?

I've had AT&T phones where free services like Where and Wikipedia were unable to be installed because there was a proprietary version pre-installed that required a monthly charge. The only phone I've seen that didn't have all the bloatware and locked apps was the iPhone. Or unlocked phones I bought from the manufacturer.

I haven't had a recent AT&T high end smartphone other than iPhones so I don't know if they still do their dirty deeds. If there are non-removable apps will a different launcher get rid of them?
[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
I don't care what they do as long as they don't slap a F'ing logo of theirs on it. I don't want to rep AT&T. I wan't to rep HTC. It's just dumb. I like the addition of the HTC logo on the front, Id prefer it be HTC no AT&T. Don't want a logo on the back either. Of course Id rather them do nothing at all but thats the biggest thing to me. Im pretty sure every carrier in US has the FM radio disabled for it btw.
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
I think the logo's a done deal.

FM is disturbing though, maybe a custom ROM could reactivate it.

[One (M7) General] jtc276:
The AT&T logo was stamped on the front glass portion of the device. Not terribly annoying, but it still sort of took away from the looks of the phone.
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
I'll go look in the One X forum to see if there's any threads about this. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to spend an extra $350 for an unlocked one. Last time I had a phone loaded with AT&T crapware (and a disabled FM radio) it was a constant source of irritation. I assume with a device of the One's quality and price they could never get away with the stuff I saw, like disabling the GPS unless you activated Navigator for $10 a month. But I also expect they'll do something irritating.
[One (M7) General] Silellak:
Yeah, I use AT&T and I'm tempted to get the Developer Edition of the HTC One, even though the price makes me wince a bit.
