how do you install .apk files? does it have to be rooted

i am beginner in these topics.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mircury:
Yes you need root since the dialer is a system app. I would start a thread in the tmobile q&a forum asking for what you want. The dialer and the text app. It is off topic here. Good luck!

Here is the URL where I purchased the SIM Unlock code - (cost $24.95) www.cellunlocker.net

Regarding TMOBILE LOCKED BOOTLOADER _ I read those threads I didn't see anything in them that indicated anyone knew that the TMOBILE Note3 had a locked Bootloader - in fact Chain Fire has already released CF AUTO ROOT for TMO Note 3 - don't think it would work if it had a locked Bootloader - and TWRP and CWM have both updated recoveries for TMO Note 3 - so I think your concerns are unwarranted.

I have not yet rooted my phone, only because I am at work and Plan to do it when I get home tonight. I will report back once I have successfully rooted.

Not that I can tell. - I have been using it pretty heavily since I rooted it - downloading aps and stuff - getting it back in 'shape" - and it isn't any hotter than my S4 was doing similar things.

No - I bought the TMOBILE variant and unlocked the SIM card so I can use it on ATT

Make sure you switch the network mode from GSM/WCDMA to LTE GMS WCDMA

yea long story short when they scanned the IMEI number there database which lists it as some samsung dumb phone or something crappy like that. they gave it the IMEI suggested data plan which was media net. Long story short if your switching data plans with note 3, make sure they give you an android one.

For people who got the tmobile version how much did you guys end up paying

Is it 708 + 10 ( for sim) + 50( for first month plan ) + tax = appr 818 ?????
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacrofish:
Yes, interested in this too and to how you all plan to cancel your service and how much that will cost.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mocsab:
Wait, I meant to say - yes, the S4 was an ATT - it had the locked bootloader which I was able to unlock using the LOKI exploit - then ATT released the patched updates which means it is going to be that much harder to unlock future ATT phones - so I decided that this time I would buy the TMOBILE NOTE 3 - so - I am coming from an ATT S4 to a TMOBILE NOTE 3 with unlocked Sim Card so I can use it on ATT.

Does that help?

This is pretty much what I just paid a couple of hours ago. I bought the phone, plus 1 month of prepaid service ($50), plus tax.

If I take the phone back, there's a $50 restock fee and the 1 month of prepaid service is non-refundable the store rep told me.

Honestly you probably could but... I mean... that's probably not the best thing to do. I'd hate to be the guy that bought my unlocked phone only to find out I bricked it because it was a different model. :D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoJo2211:
That's pretty stupid. You could have gotten an UNLOCKED T-Mobile 32GB Note 3 from Negri for $689 (if you sign up and add it to your card and come back next day they will send you an email with a $10 coupon which would make it $679.. and NO TAX).

So let's see $679 or $818 (+ having to go through cancelling and then getting an unlock code for $24)?

The choice is obvious.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pachi72:
But Negri doesn't have the phone in Stock.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phobic99:
I also could've waited a year and got the phone for probably a fraction of what it costs now as well. I'm not saying you're wrong in any way but I paid an extra $163 to have it today. You call it stupidity, I'll call it impatience.

Will the T-mobile root method work on the Canadian version of the note 3, which also has the unlocked bootloader?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baddawg:
I was in the same boat but I happened to do it a little different and save a few bucks.

story was that I was buying my GF a new phone for her birthday and she was going to start a tmo plan. (this got them to work with me rather then just throwing out the generic plan and whatnot.) basically I asked what the cheapest plan i could get was and the response was it was a loaded question. explenation is you can only get the phone for $708 on a minimum $50 plan. what people neglect to tell you is that with the $10 prepaid plan (basically only buying the prepaid sim starter kit) only raises the price of the phone to $730. so doing a little math... $12 more for phone plus a $10 sim (no hassle to cancel because it auto cancels after 3 months of 0 use and they wont put a card on file). you see where im going.

spent right at 800 total

It is a little cheaper but yes of course there is tax but what don't we get taxed on anyway.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
I needed a foreign SIM card ( any sim other than T mobile ) then I was presnted with screen to enter supplied unlock code.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpufrost:
Right, I put my AT&T card in there and it says invalid sim and I do have a prompt for a code. I'm hoping the code I just paid $25 for (waiting!) works...

Can't wait to root this phone! Well technically I can do that now but I would feel more comfortable with it unlocked knowing for sure I can use my service and get LTE, etc.

The box had a Tmobile sim too...

If you know a friend that has T-Mobile you can walk in the store, tell them you're buying it as a gift and need the phone ONLY and give them a number and you get the phone for $739. At least the store I bought it from did, no buying service, paying for a sim ($10, outrageous!), etc.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
The prompt on the phone doesnt come straight away, I left my phone on the side and within a few minutes it displayed a screen allowing me to enter the carrier unlock code. I actually pressed cancel once and I had to reboot phone with foreign sim inside it, then wait a few minutes until I was prompted.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovesokr7:
Did the code work? If so, could you please let me know the site you used to buy the code? And yes, this is my first post on here... Thanks in advance for the help!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpufrost:
Yes it did. It took about three hours to get the code emailed.

When I put my AT&T SIM in I was presented with a prompt for an unlock code. DO NOT try to enter ANYTHING in here because you get only a few attempts before it will lock you out (frozen).

The code they send you will work, then all I had to do was reboot the phone. Voice and data (3G) worked. I had to enter the AT&T APN settings in manually to get LTE.

I bought the code from www.cellunlocker.net.

They ask for IEMI and model. They will tell you right away if they can unlock, then just put in your info and it will take you to the paypal gateway for payment. Wait for the code to be sent in an email. Easy as pie.

Tell AT&T how we feel about this

So we all know that no amount of hounding or complaining is going to convince AT&T to stop the madness and unlock the Note 3. However, I think it behooves us to TELL AT&T what we think of this development (or rather this "Anti-Development" development.

Could everyone that has a minute or two please sign the petition to tell AT&T we are disgusted, and at least let them know that more than a few people are very unhappy right now, and that they are going to lose more than they ever hoped to gain with this kind of thinking.

Please don't tell me I am wasting my time, it's mine and I like using some to tell AT&T what I think. If you don't care to tell them or just want to accept this BS then sit tight, cause more and deeper BS is in the pipeline, brought to you buy the company who's tagline is "Rethink Possible" Right....

Petition has about 440 signatures at the moment, but hoping for many more. Every signature sends an email to these AT&T Executives:

Petitioning: Randall Stephenson AT&T CEO

Ralph de la Vega; President and CEO - AT&T Mobility

John Donovan; Senior VP, AT&T Technology and Network Operations

John T. Stankey; Group President and Chief Strategy Officer

AT&T: Unlock OUR Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Bootloader!

I fear as you do, that it is an uphill battle, and likely AT&T will see the advantages their strategy is giving them as more of a draw than the 'fly buzzing in their ear' we may be . . .

But, then, who knows . .. perhaps we will make a dent in this thing! :highfive:

Petition signed! 475 now (pass it on!)

The people on this thread have voted with their Wallet!

If we can popularize threads like this and increase awareness, it serves to show companies like AT&T their decisions cost.

Network provider has nothing to do with warranty . So does lock unlock status. Warranty is provided by Samsung. Unless u also have a network additional warranty( that u pay for extra)

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshsstuff:
Thanks for your reply.

Ok, good point, and actually that was told to me as well (you reminded me) that I can 'send the phone to Samsung' for a warranty.

I guess the part I was concerned with is the store's ability to "conveniently" replace the phone.

i.e. If I walk into the store and am a customer (have an active contract) with T-mobile, they can handle the warranty with Samsung for me, and I don't have to wait for shipping or pay for the expense.

So, I guess the 90 days or so would be a logical time to hold off from any 'Knox- tripping' activity

I'm not sure if this problem has arose because of my Kitkat update but, I've come to realize that I have not had MMS on my N900t for some time.

-Mobile internet works.

-SMS works.

-Can't download or send MMS!

If I receive a MMS it fails to download the media part (picture etc.)

if I try to push the available "Download" button on the failed message it will eventually time out and I get the notification:

"message not downloaded"

"review message and try again"

So far I have:

1) double and triple checked my APN settings

I even called AT&T and they verified that I have the latest which are:

2) pulled out my Sim Card and reset the phone (AT&T's idea)

They are recommending that I do a reset if I can't fix it.

MMS is a total drag to be without. I'm thinking of downgrading to 4.3
