Man, that sucks... I wonder how they found out you are using the Version phone. Just curious which ROM are you using?

I may switch to T-Mobile after my contract ended too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] anaya1213:
Do you also get the + before the number? Example : +123 456 6789.

I get it like that and when I try to redial that same number with the +

I get an error.

Can you also tell me your apn info please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blizzy13:
me and another member are working to add the LTE bands for T-Mobile to the I-605 i have this phone on t-mobile and i have ported the t-mobile rom to it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cainG2x:
It kept adding an extra 1 in the front of the number. I just deleted the 1 from the numbers in my contacts and no more problems. I'll get the apn info for ya after work tonight.

Verizon Galaxy Note 2

1) I usually used Jedi X as my daily, but I was in love with Illusion ROM (AOSP) for a few months.

2) I always modified the APN settings for my data connection. and it works flawlessly.

3) I was using the $40/mth H2O Wireless plan and have also used T-Mobile's $50 a month plan. Your T-Mobile $30 a month plan sounds a lot better. Does it still exist? I don't call people, so I don't need unlimited minutes. Going down to that plan makes so much more sense haha.

Verizon Note2 Pageplus

I have been using pageplus for a while. Get 3g witch seems fast enough for me...

29.95 (no tax or fee's)

1200 min, 3000 text, 500mb data.

Wife and I pay $59.90 each month..

Had to pay dear to flash to get 3g after many failed attempts... It is rooted and when I change ROM I loose data so I am stuck on stock ROM till I figure out how other people are doing it. It is weird, no sim card warning all the time, not showing data as being on, but still 3g works... Tried CM and other stock rebuilds and never got data working. If anyone reads this and knows how, please PM me.

I'm running At&t with beanstown but I'm not able to set up my voicemail anyone else have an issue with that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
You need to correct your apn when you flash a custom rom. You can backup your current apn save it to sd and restore it after u flash your new rom. Theres a few apps on the market to help with this. Or you can manually do this via a txt editor and root explorer. APN handles your data and mms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdkrush:
How do I backup my current one?

Can I find one for PagePlus?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jakezilla3:
I have been using the Verizon Note 2 on T-Mobile for almost a year now. At the time the prices on eBay were cheaper for the Verizon models and LTE was not going to be in my area for a while (or so I thought). I flashed Mean Bean, installed my SIM, then manually entered in the APN and haven't had any issues. T-Mobile coverage varies widely in the areas I go to, so posting numbers really doesn't help anyone. They are always on par with other-Mobile devices in the area. Now that LTE is in some of the areas I frequent, I have thought about selling and buying a T-Mobile version, but I think I am going to wait for Note 3 prices to fall a little and buy one then.

Hi - apologize in advance for the "noob" question - but I too would like to know how I can enable AWS bands (T-Mobile US and Wind mobile Canada) on my Verizon Note 2 i605tsv. I am running 4.1.2 all stock and I would appreciate if someone can almost spell it out for me.

Thanks,

Im curious about this myself. I was looking for just the os portion for tmobile to flash over to my vzw note 2.

The radio portion i figure is a wash, I don't think lte would be stable on this guy if it is doable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] davidrhenry:
What rom is it that you ported? And has there been any progress on the rom? I am about to switch to T-Mobile and it would be fantastic if I didn't have to get a new phone.

Verizon Note 2

Carrier: Straight Talk

ROM: CM11

It has not given me any trouble what so every since i switched over to straight talk. The speeds seems little flakey but its still enough to be perfectly usable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmonger11b:
I have been running mine on AT&T for some time now but one issue I am running into is I can't setup my voicemail. I try calling my number and the speed dial button and both just tell me the person I am calling has a voice mail box that hasn't been setup. Anyone else ran into this and know of a fix?

Stock 4.1.2

Straight talk, Stock Verizon 4.1.2 Rooted.

No issues what so ever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yakapo:
I'm using AT&T prepaid. $50 but after discount on callingmart.com - $45 a month. If you use the right settings you get data as well. I try to use less than 4gb a month so I don't get flagged or anything. Speeds are decent I have to be careful when tethering bc I can hit 200mb very quickly. The only way to get data on AT&T's $50 prepaid plan is with certain phones like ours.

Believe it or not, I'm considering switching to tmobile. Where I live we don't get broadband internet. So my phone is my only internet. I'm hoping I can get the $70 tmobile plan and root it so I can tether and use all the data I need. Has anyone else done this? I've heard of people using 50gb on that plan without any issues. I'll probably just sell my phone and get a new one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yakapo:
Hmm... It's much harder to buy a used tmobile phone now. How do you know if they have paid off the phone? If they haven't paid it off, the imei will be blacklisted a month after you have it.

What kind of speeds are you guys getting on the verizon note 2 and tmobile?

I use my note 2 with Movistar Mexico since 2 weeks and at this moment without any issue with 3G, calls and sms, the only issue if I can say one is the signal is to low indoor.

Hi, I've just switched to T-mo's prepaid $80 unlimited plan. I only get HSPA+, how'd you get 4G?

Also, my plan includes tether, but I can't seem to make it work on the Verizon rom (yes, I'm MJ9 BL locked)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Domush:
That's dependent on the ROM you're running versus the provider. If you use at&t you need a ported at&t ROM. You can also try the prefixer app. I have the same problem and have heard prefixer can fix the issue.

Anyone have data speeds for their vzw note 2 on at&t? Thinking about ditching vzw even though I have unlimited still, we use about 12GB a month and if I was told right, if we bring our own phones 15GB data with unlimited talk/text is only $130mo compared to our $190. Im still happy with my note 2 on cm11 but my wife needs to ditch her s3 already.

On vzw lte I rarely break 26Mbps anyways unless its super early or super late in the day. Actually end up being in the 16Mbps range and also have a lot of bad 1-2bar vzw spots in orange county where I live/work. LA county seemed to be better so thats also why Im looking to try at&t

I'm in Kansas City, MO using a my Note 2 on Cricket for the last 6 months. I actually cdma flash, root, unlock, etc phones for people all the time and could probably share a little more than my own personal experiences with miscellaneous services in my area but here i'll just share my service info. My Note 2 is Rooted and primarily has ran Nephilim It's cdma flashed but since the phone is GSM unlocked I will probably test Cricket's new AT&T-provided 4G GSM network. I'll try to post back with updates just in case anyone watches this thread. I have, while testing APNs, placed tmobile, att, gosmart, straight talk, and probably a few more sims in my phone and it has always been able to pull 4g/Hspa/LTE etc for my area on whatever services I tested.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] testsubject00001:
I have a verizon note ii phone running att. Because the baseband is different on the note ii for verizon vs att's version you will notice a slight decrease in speed but its still quiet usable. I do :) Also i have not had any luck getting GPS to work with a ASOP rom. On touchwiz it works perfectly I just have to adjust the APN settings. I think that it has something to do with the GPS not initializing during startup. I hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 66racer:
Thanks, I wouldnt have guessed gps issues, have you had them while on vzw too since it seems there were some phones that just seemed to not like aosp gps operation. I never really had gps issues but still am on vzw. Im just still debating on giving up my unlimited data for att. I want to be able to run play edition phones and maybe even the next nexus but man using data without thinking about it is great.

I just heard a friend in FL upgraded last year and was grandfathered on vzw so dont know why the CA branches say I wont be. Im going to miami next month so might inquire while I am there lol.

Problems

First let me say, I have no clue what you all are talking about lol :) so bear with me

With that said, I have a few issues. I have a note 2, and was using a T-mobile sim card. Everything worked except mms and data, but oh well I use my phone for work so it was not the worst thing in the world.

Last week I dropped my phone in the toilet and all of a sudden an update came through and blocked my APN settings from reading my t mobile sim card. (My husband being the phone guy) has tried installing a custom rom which bricked my phone. We unbricked it and installed an array of different apps and other such things to fix the fact that the APN settings just wont save.

HELP. I use my phone for work, and I need it to work. anything will be helpful at this point. ugh double ugh

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 25yvdgpo06:
Using H2O Wireless, because it's cheap and I'm usually near Wi-Fi anyway.

1) Which rom works for you?

Stock, but Cyanogenmod worked, too.

2) Did you modify settings to get data to work properly?

Yeah, had to add an APN. I'm not 100% sure it's "working properly." I get my email, which is mostly what I want, but I have a hard time browsing pages. Frequently disconnected.

3) Which plan did you choose and how do you like it?

$10 prepaid every 3 months minimum. 5 cents per text, 5 cents per minute, 10 cents per MB. Works out to 200 texts/minutes or 100MB.

It's OK, but with data this limited, it's important to have a firewall. When I was stuck without root for a while, I tried NoRoot Firewall which works nicely, but it uses the VPNService so you can't use any other VPN at the same time. Also, there's a period of time when your phone first starts and before the firewall starts (which you have to manually activate each time... frustrating design decisions/limitations, Google...), during which data will get used against your will...

Sometimes I have to toggle airplane mode off and on if I'm "connected" but not connected, and sometimes even that doesn't work. There also seems to be an issue with Firefox Aurora that forces me to kill the browser if I've been disconnected from the mobile network, or else it will never go anywhere... and sometimes killing Aurora doesn't help, so I just have to try 'Internet,' which then just to spite me won't work either.

The most frustrating part is the *very* frequent USSD pop-ups telling you about your balance. When I was rooted, I used USSD Inbox, but after a lot of searching, I found something that works without root called USSD Notifications. It's paid, unfortunately, but it seemed worth it to save some sanity. It doesn't block the pop-ups, but it uses the Accessibility service to auto-dismiss them as quickly as possible, so it's kind of like a paid, rootless version of USSD Inbox that allows some flashes of pop-ups in.

In short, it's pretty good if you just want to be able to get notifications of things and make the rare reply or phone call. I haven't found myself missing texts, emails, or calls, yet. I don't have trouble making calls or sending texts. If you want to visit webpages or do anything that initiates a new data connection it's often a hassle that is FAR from worth the wait, literally and figuratively (at least in my rural area), but you get what you pay for. It wouldn't be so bad if the signal strength meter meant anything around here...

If I root & unlock can I walk into my Sprint store and activate the device? I have a co-worker with a soft bricked Note II that he will give me for free.
