[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rymenigmatic:
I have been using my T-Mobile Note 3 on Att since I bought it. I have also been using an Att Note 3 ROM (KnoxRaid) 4.4.2 with madmacks Tmobile kit Kat kernel which is the only remnant of T-Mobile on my phone, necessary of course in order for the ROM to run. My phone runs Awesome!! Only thing that force closes is Security under General Settings. Yes we can Run ATT roms on our phone as long as we use the corresponding T-Mobile kernel. If anyone can figure this settings /security force close, it would be greatly appreciated! !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] treoreloaded:
im still on stock tmobile kitkat rooted. how do you uninstall the tmobile crapware like the Hotspot, Voicemail and Tmobile my account? i tried no bloat app but its not seeing those apps. any suggestions? thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ukcain:
Use titanium backup from play store to remove bloatware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kwida94:
have you found a solution?

i know this was a long time ago but did you by chance find a solution to this? i am having the same problem i get lte but mms messages wont send or recieve.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Thanatos355:
I had a similar problem for a while. I could send and receive mms only with the stock app or with Hangouts. At the time I was using Textra, an excellent messaging app. It didn't have application specific apn settings though. So I switched over to ChompSMS, which does have application specific apn settings, and got everything to work. Finally!

My suggestion would be to try an alternate messaging app and play around with any and all apn settings therein until you find something that works.

Good luck. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toastido:
Textra has app specific apn settings. It's in the settings menu under mms settings.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Thanatos355:
Indeed it does, I mispoke. I apologize.

I should have said that manually adjusting them did not alleviate the issue.

Lack of sleep +many flashes with many settings leads to some....let's call it blurring...of memory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sloanster:
Hi if you got your APN added the next step is edit your build prop...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lorettaa:
I don't regret buying this phone, its a beast in all aspects
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sloanster:

I have picked-up so many tips & tricks from viewing the different Note 3 sites

including:

1. ATT

2. Verizon

3. Tmobile

4. N9005 international.

My phone is all Powerful!! Now! heh, heh

(or would that be awl Powerful)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lorettaa:
Yeah I'm gathering tips and tricks too. Thanks to the experts and great devs, especially here in XDA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ajm786:
I just switched from T-mobile to AT&T. I got sick and tired of not having signal at all in many places. Unfortunately, it's not something I wanted to do, because when I did get signal, internet was FAST. However, I'd rather get slower overall speeds with much better coverage than spotty/no signal at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hollywould:
Sorry, is there a point to this story, or you just felt like sharing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ajm786:
That's part of it. Though, it just goes to show how bad T-mobile's network still is in terms of coverage.

I am seeing the weak LTE signal that our phones have on AT&T networks that everyone has been talking about, though. I'll see if I can flash an AT&T modem (as some have already successfully done) and report back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Coverage can be very regional. What is great in one region may not be so great in another. You provide no idea where you are regionally located so it is hard to tell where you are having problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ajm786:
DC Metro area. I'm fully aware how the coverage can differ according to region.

For me, T-mo service is spotty at best compared to AT&T, and this is coming from someone who truly dislikes AT&T. I left AT&T about a year and a half ago because I was sick of the slow internet speeds. Now that I've gotten it back, I can see it's improved, but not by much.

In the building where I work, T-mo barely gets Edge, while AT&T gets full HSPA. LTE is a bit spotty, but at least that still comes through. I'm attributing that to the radio on the SM-N900T.

It's unfortunate that I had to switch back to AT&T, but I really had no choice, since I depend on my phone for work. As long as I get a signal, I'm fine. With T-mo, it just wouldn't cut it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimusv45:
Bump .. Just trying to see what section of the forum this thread is in

Edit:still can't find this .. Where is this thread ? T-Mobile note 3 general ?

Edit2:found :)

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ----------

Anyone has good experience using unlocked T-Mobile note 3 on straight talk att sim card ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ed Murray:
I used AT&T Straight talk on my N900T with no problems. Mine was unlocked from the start without any t-mobile bloat ware as I bought it from Renta Center.

You shouldn't have any problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Neroga:
Been using the tmo Note 3 on AT&T since March and am more than satisfied with it. I live in Saint Cloud / Kissimmee, FL where AT&T has provided the best overall coverage compared to friends and family using tmo, Sprint, etc. Noticed no difference in data speeds and signal when compared to the AT&T Note 3. Only minor annoyance is having to use AT&T Message to send (not receive) MMS which I'm sure there's a way to fix. I'm just to lazy to search for it lol.

I've also Odin'd a couple of different modems from both the AT&T Note 3 and tmo Note 3. Ultimately, I settled with the NF9 modem. Significant increase in signal, especially at work where my data speeds would crawl on HSPA. Not to mention I now get LTE at work and no longer lose all signal in the coolers and no, the significant change was not due to AT&T expanding coverage unless they managed to do so within 15 minutes of me switching back and forth between the tmo NF9 modem and AT&T NC2 lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimusv45:
Cool, thanks. I know you from optimus g pro lol. I have an att note 3, will probably get a tmobile note 4 at some point and use it with straight talk att sim. They are making great progress, already has root and a recovery on the way !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jackler1:
Need help I have both versions, ATT, T mobile 3's and have to sell one.

I originally bought a t Mobile Note 3 and then unlocked and rooted it. All the way has been on keeping knox, I have never wanted or needed a custom rom as I have in the past, I am happy with go launcher and it allows me to make my phone look as I like it. I get great battery life, have frozen all the bloat and the phone has worked great for me except for one thing. My data coverage has sucked balls.

I searched and I read and I whined and moaned but it was getting really annoying how the service would go from middling to slow to non existent to OCCASIONALLY LTE speeds. I know I have LTE, as I CAN get LTE in some spots. I live in Orlando and when I was at the ATT store the tech showed me a speedtest on the tower and it was getting the exact same speeds that I was getting on my t mob, which was Crap. I still couldn't help but think that it had something to do with the phone and I have seen my share of posts out there complaining about ATT LTE speeds on the T Mob.

I was keeping my out and I found a guy selling a ATT N3 on craigslist, swore it was in a+ condition and was asking 300 for it. I jumped, guy was cool, called in IMEI, good, worked on my sim, bought it. Perfect phone not a scratch (which is how my TM is) I take care of my phones. I went down to the ATT store, got a new sim. Registered on the network, speed test same S*#T different day. Crap for service. However, I haven't had long term use out and about as I have only had the phone two days.

So, here is my quandary. I know I can get 400+ for EITHER phone, they are both unlocked and rooted with knox 0x0. The ATT phone FEELS a little more responsive as far as data but doing a test in three different phones, these two and a skyrocket standing in the EXACT same place yields EXACT numbers give or take.

So here is my problem, obviously I don't need both phones and it is a PITA switching from one to the other with case and all and I have had little time with the ATT to test if it is my imagination or ATT service just sucks in Orlando. My service is provided by ATT through my company so I can't switch carriers, if I could I would jump to Verizon which is killing it in Orlando right now with 50+ where I am lucky to see 20 in splotches from ATT more on the 5-7 average.

So do I keep the ATT or T-Mob which would you do. If I rom it I would safestrap either one but rom is really not needed. Final option and I know what your going to say :laugh: but seriously, 400 in my pocket is a cash I can use for other things, which is to go Note 4 and sell both. I know I can sell them for 425 each on ebay all day so minus the fees, I could buy a 4 with a bit to kick in. THEN, which is better T-mob or ATT version of that and it hasn't even been rooted so I have to play the waiting game with that.

I know the TM has band advantages and is easy to tether which I rarely do but all in all they seem about equal...

WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Serious advice/experience with your T mob is appreciated, is everyone else getting spotty service with this phone on ATT.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ed Murray:
I have had both the Tmobile and Verizon Note3's. The AT&T and Verizon models have locked bootloaders, require Safestrap to ROM and other inconveniences. The Tmobile is unlocked, Rooted and is easy to customize, compared to the others. If I were you, I'd keep the Tmobile N900-T and sell the AT&T model. I had signal issues (LTE) on my Tmobile Note3 also, with both Tmobile AND AT&T. The Verizon Note3 was great in that aspect. I personally think it's not a great phone to have if your on the edge of reception. That is my opinion though. Side by side, I've seen Motorola phones with same carrier get LTE without a hitch, where my Note3 from TMO would fluctuate from H+ to 1 bar LTE constantly, killing the battery life. I also noticed that if you use any extended battery or metal case on the GSM Note3's, it destroys the signal quality instantly, unless you live on the city and are surrounded by towers.

If you sold one or both Note3's, you could by a Note 4. I have the Verizon Note 4, so I cannot speak about the call or data quality of the Tmobile version, BUT I can say that like the Note3, the Tmobile Note4 has the unlocked bootloader, which is always preferable, and I believe already has root access here on XDA.

I'd buy a Note 4 if I were you. Better hardware, better signal quality, and Tmobile freedom of customization are just a few of the perks of that choice. There are many many more. Plus, Android 5.0 will be coming soon to Note 4's it is said.

Good luck to ya.

Switched to AT&T Service in Sept. So far, no issues with the unlocked, rooted and custom rom N900T on the AT&T n/w. FWIW, I had an extended business trip to Europe and India recently. Absolutely flawless performance with the Orange and Airtel SIMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cnewsgrp:
Can we flash at&t roms to n900t?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fedism:
Pardon the revival, but need it be an att note 3? Or any att android?

Currently unlocked my SM-N900T for att and all I can do is occasionally get signal for an outgoing call (only 10 % of the time) and. .. thats it. In Miami I know reception is not the issue.

I did go to an att store and have a rep install a sim card which I later learned was a no no.

My friend has a tmobile prefference and was thinking of selling to her if I

cant ultimately have this use lte (the flashed with a new rom which is another story).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] soccer_rm:
I have the same phone on att and never had any problems, you probably need to update your phone to the latest firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] m0biusace:
Anyone know about any TW lollipop ROMs with LTE on AT&T working? Tried dompop but I only get HSPA even with the pta APN, and switching the SIM directly from my AT&T LG G3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] soccer_rm:
I haven't tried dompop or any lollipop yet, but I think we should wait until they release the official version for our devices., hopefully this month ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sloanster:
Did some say, Dompop on Note3 Tmo using the ATT Network?:cool:

A lot of guessing floats around the forums about what is the correct APN settings for NON-ATT phones!

Quit guessing, go to the link below!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] collins521:
Just recently picked one of these up to use for the time being and I see a few lollipop roms out there, is there any just plain stock lollipop roms that can be flashed through TWRP easy enough? Also those that have been using this on AT&T what are your recommendations for kernals, etc to get the best performance? The one I have is on baseband NB4 but I see mentions of others that are out there but I know some would probably work better for T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 1sagain:
I got my Note 3 unlocked from cellunlocker.net

Have you tried performing a factory data reset? I read somewhere that that helps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobkoure:
GPS notes (for rooted users)

My note 3 had surprisingly poor GPS performance.

I did some digging - turns out the ROM I installed (SlimKat) expected me to setup gps.conf for wherever I was in the world.

I did that - GPS got a lot faster lock.

It occurred to me that other folks here might have the same issue. Even if you are using the stock ROM (or a variation thereof), gps.conf probably includes SUPL_HOST=[some tmobile server ip]. So it's IMO worth taking a look (unless you have 3-5 sec hot-start lock as I do now).

I'd suggest switching to the google supplementary host (as it is in AOSP) see this gps.conf

See AGPS Patch Galaxy S 4G 3.1 & 2.2 | GET BACK TO RAPID GPS LOCK, LOCK EXTRA SATS (by crypted / Derek Gordon*) for lots of GPS configurations. It's now somewhat dated (we now have Glosnass support, LTE positioning, other capabilities) but still quite usable. I'd suggest you use the non-SSL Google gps.conf

I added the following lines to that gps.conf

ENABLE_WIPER=1

LPP_PROFILE=3

A_GLONASS_POS_PROTOCOL_SELECT=0x0

SUPL_VER=0x10000

CAPABILITIES=0x36

ERR_ESTIMATE=0

NMEA_PROVIDER=1

They seem to help, but slightly, so probably user/measurement error (or other variability) but WTH knows. See the AOSP gps.conf for comments (e.g. capabilities bitmask)

Make sure the gps.conf you install - particularly if you install it manually is owner 0/root, rwxr--r-- (0x744)

Also, if you're on an MVNO, you're most probably not getting enough (or any!) time synchronization. GPS depends on accurate time. Getting it off the network at lock time is fine - unless you don't have a data connection and then your internal clock had better be right. So grab a copy of Sergey Barnoff's ClockSync and set it to run / synchronize your clock at least daily.

Hope this helps somebody...

*I wouldn't normally mention a users IRL name, but he's pointing you to his site (derekgordon.com) so you should know it's legit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] panxpany:
so whats the final word?

Hey guys, so is it worth it to get an Tmobile branded note 3 and use it on ATT?

I had the ATT note 3 and was pretty happy with the rom's made for locked bootloader. However, I would like to explore the full potential of the phone.

Please let me know what are the known incompatibilities between the carriers?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stewartsoda:
I don't have any issues other than Wi-Fi calling doesn't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gil_happy:
Hello, it's been a while since I visited, but I have a new question about rooting and possibly upgrading to a custom ROM. Here is my setup:

- have a Note 3 (N900-T); originally purchased on T-Mobile, but now on AT&T

- Android version = 4.4.2

- Baseband version = N900TUVUENK3

- Kernel = 3.4.0-2587359

My phone is currently 'not' rooted on AT&T and KNOX has been tripped (0x1), so I need to know which instructions to follow (note: I previously rooted this a while back, but it became 'unrooted' when I upgraded to the baseband above months ago.

Then, eventually I'll want to install and upgrade to the latest AT&T stock ROM (if these is even possible, or if it even makes sense), or if I should go to Lollipop on a custom ROM (DomPop, Tweaked, etc)?

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atconway:
Hello :) I'm exactly 180 degrees in the other direction with my Note 3 but in a similar situation. I have an unlocked AT&T Note 3 and using it on the T-Mobile network. Thus far I flashed my phone using the NC2 flasher back to 4.4.2, rooted with TowelRoot, and used SafeStrap to flash the Alliance T-Mobile ROM onto my phone (as discussed here: T-Mobile Alliance Lollipop Rom on ATT Note 3).

This has all worked perfectly with the exception of 1 tiny thing... I'm on T-Mobile's network but WiFi calling is not working. It's the only snag, otherwise I'm sitting pretty. I made mention of this on another Note 3 forum, and it was recommended I load an actual T-Mobile ROM (see post & post )

So while our situations are not 100% identical, I've already proven one can load a ROM intended for T-Mobile on the AT&T version of the phone (you all could probably do the inverse). Trying to sift through posts though to find a stock rooted T-Mobile ROM for the Note 3 has proven a pain. It's like drinking from a fire hose. Does anyone know if there is a T-Mobile Note 3 stock rooted ROM (or similar - doesn't have to be stock) on 5.0.2 or 5.1 lolipop? If anyone else has pointers on this I'm open to hearing any suggestions from your all experiences.

TIA :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gil_happy:
Hi - thanks for this... that is interesting to know. Right now since I'm rooted, I'm trying to figure out which ROM to upgrade to? It seems like there are 2 options - finding a AT&T ROM for a T-Mobile phone on the AT&T network (reverse of you), or T-Mobile (N900T) based ROM. At least that is how I understand it so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
It appears that the t mobile version has more bands. I goto Europe sometimes and needed this version.

Good point about changing the radio via software. Is it possible ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aironite:
Subscribed -- and I agree that the thread belongs here.

So far, here is a quick rundown of everything I have done thus far:

Phone was activated with a t-mobile SIM. Paid for the unlock code through cellunlocker, entered AT&T apn, then I was good to go.

Used Chainfire's CF Auto-Root method to obtain root. Had minor issue with it hanging in download mode mid-flash, so i pulled the plug, closed odin, put the phone back into download mode, plugged the phone back in, then opened odin and flashed again no problem. (My biggest pucker moment so far)

Downloaded GooManager, used it to install twrp recovery via the menu key. Too easy. [DO NOT USE TWRP TO RESTORE!] There. I said it :)

First ROM I installed was jovy23's from here. Tried to install Xposed Framework and that didn't go so well. (There is now a working beta)

jovy23 then released his Darthstalker ROM. Flashed with TWRP, no problems.

Pucker moment #2 -- flashed TWRP 2.6.3.2 via Odin. Everything appeared to be fine until I tried to flash Darthstalker v2. Bootloop! Tried reflashing back to v1 of the rom. No dice.

Used odin to flash back to TWRP 2.6.3.1, then tried flashing Darthstalker v2 again. Success! (Great ROM btw)

Xposed beta was released, so I installed it. App settings module is running rock stable 4 days now. Everything Xposed here. Thanks decalex

Felt brave, so I recovered some data from previous TWRP backups using nandroid manager pro. Works great.

Bought Chainfire's region unlocker from the playstore and applied it with no issues. Buy it anyway if you dont need it -- we wouldn't be flashing anything if it weren't for him.

That's all so far....

Yea count me in just scored a 900t for 350 . Using straight talk att. gonna roll with it like it is . Wait to root until all kinks r out. And maybe there will be a update or two rolling out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hollywould:
Oh man so jealous of you guys. Ordered mine On Negrielectronics last week, but they are totally back ordered now, and I have no idea when I'm gonna be getting it. I think I might have to go shell out an extra $100 and get one at T-Mobile. Can't wait to get my hands on one. Definitely subscribed here. Keep it up.:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] barondebxl:
Bought mine off swappa cause I didn't wanna wait for negrielectronics.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shin lucifer:
Not sure if you are aware of this, but if you used Chainfire unlock app from the start it would have unlock both the region and the sim. So you would have save some money by avoiding cellunlocker site.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mocsab:
9005?

I am nervously waiting for a more stable recovery - I am rooted - using an unlocked T-Mobile phone on ATT - I am curious if anyone has successfully flashed anything made for the 9005 - International Note 3? Omega Rom is released for that phone and I thought I saw someone say they had flashed it - but I can't be sure -

Am hoping that we will be able to flash 9005 Roms as well as ATT ROMS if there ever are any - (boot loader is still locked on ATT - but they did find a way to root without tripping Knox)

Any thoughts on flashing 9005?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aironite:
Yeah, i was impatient and bought the unlock code before the exploit was discovered. Oh well :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
I got a few codes from them but I dont recall region unlock code?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gordonzhao:
The apn is the access point, literally a website that is just typed in. You don't need to change the modem. It will work because T-Mobile doesn't block the bands unlike how att blocked their 1700 band with their note 1 and that required a software work around. Any T-Mobile rom will work, regardless if you're using it on att, if you want to keep it safe.
