[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Chord_Hugo87:
I'm not advertising anything, but the notion that buying a Tmobile phone and convert to ATT is such a hassle. You have to pay the phone off, meaning 800+ then wait a week or two to request unlock code or you have to paid an extra fee for a third company to unlock the phone and that you still have to wait at least a week. There is always the potential of Bands not working, I know this for a fact because my Samsung galaxy S6 active will not work on some Tmobile band. Aside from that Tmobile have unlimited everything, especially data, I paid $20 for unlimited data and I always utilized more than 25gig each month.

as far as update, that go with all carriers, tmobile have ****ty update schedule too but whats good about their device is they don't lock the bootloader so you are always welcome to install root/TWRP and flashed different rom/kernel and Carrier IQ is defeated with custom rom. CIQ can also be deleted with Titanium backup, easy fix for me.

I'm saying all this assuming you have a good service around your area, if not then disregard what I said. Ultimately, this is a phone and the core function of a phone is to make phone calls, if you cant do that then I wouldn't switch service, and it is your money, you choose to decide what you want to do but for me it's a no brainer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] cpufrost:
Tried TMO, didn't last a month. Service far too spotty for me and daily travels. Just not worth it. And 2G is a freaking joke!

They will NEVER have the coverage of VZW or ATT even. To have that kind of coverage would cost billions in new backhauls alone. Where do you think that money comes from?

I'm all for saving $$$ but I must have a service that works.

I tried Project Fi and it was interesting. Half our ranch is getting sprint (LTE) with speeds comparable to ATT/VZW. The other half gets TMO and the 2G (Edge) speeds are deplorable, like wait 20 minutes for a text with a highly compressed photo to go through. No thanks.

I used to buy TMO phones and unlock them to use on ATT but after the unlock app fiasco on the S6, forget it!

It's funny all those ads TMO has with people using megaphones. I finally figured it out, they are the TMO customers that have to resort to megaphones because their cell service is non-existent! :cowboy:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] done12many2:
I tried to give T-Mobile a shot, but I ran into way too many signal issues. I kept my AT&T account active while I was on T-Mobile and I'm glad that I did.

I'm sure there are locations where T-Mobile works fine, but the fact of the matter is I wasn't looking for a good spot with AT&T. They were all good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] garyd9:
I'm actually considering giving TMO another try. I really wish carriers had a "try it for a couple days" type plan where you could pay a deposit and just trial their service for 2 days with any old LTE phone. (Didn't TMO have something like that last year?)

In order to get an international 64GB Note5 (64gb is pretty much a requirement for me if there's no sdcard) it would currently cost about $1100 (via amazon.) Then I'd be dealing with some third party person and not even have prime shipping (which also means that if there's a problem, returning it becomes a nightmare.) $300 premium for added risk. That's not acceptable to me.

expansys-usa doesn't have any 64gb note5's and they have no clue when they'll get any. (are the 64gb n920i's really that rare???)

All this because AT&T (and VZW) are overly controlling. I wonder what would happen if Cadillac car dealers started saying that you still have to pay full price for the car, but you aren't allowed to use the back seat or trunk. (That's how AT&T's lockdown of the phone feels to me. I have to pay full price, but can't use it MY way even when it has ZERO impact on their network.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Venom0642:
The Reason why lots will stay with AT&T And Verizon is cause theses 2 providers has the best towers , Plus Service Network is One Of The Best and lots of towers world wide, And cause T-Mobile Network sucks really bad most around the World that is why lots won't go with T-Mobile there Network Services is very very bad , Maybe someday when they Game Up and start Putting more Towers then lots will probably change over!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] foulmouthedruffian:
Better service and better towers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrBaltazar:
I ditched att for t-mobile because of unlimited data. Then switched RIGHT BACK to at&t when I realized I had nearly no coverage in any building I was in or at my house.

You really do get what you pay for in terms of coverage and signal speed/strength. Locked bootloader is to entice corporations that need the security in their users' devices. AT&T has large corporation and government contracts unlike sprint or tmobile. It's a catch 22 since I'd love an aosp rom for the note 5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] garyd9:
Tried tmobile again tonight with a phone borrowed from work. Sadly, for me, it wouldn't work out. Too many dead spots, and horrible service (dropping to EDGE) in my home.

Oh, well.... at least I tried. Perhaps they'll grow out some more in another couple of years and I'll try again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Chord_Hugo87:
Honestly where do you guys live? I have T-mobile for 10 years, I live in multiple states (KS, Virgina, Maryland, FL and now Hawaii) I have not had bad experience at all...well maybe in Pensacola FL but that is with every single service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Aridon:
I'm considering grabbing the 920i version on Ebay for $589. I refuse to buy another device that can't be rooted. I currently have a Moto pure on order but considering sending it back if I pull the trigger on the international version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrBaltazar:
South Seattle area here. In the city and on the interstate is fine but the suburbs and anywhere out of the city is incredibly spotty with tmobile.

Sent from my Galaxy Note 5 on AT&T
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] WizeGuyDezignz:
I live in San Diego, which is obviously one of the larger cities in the US. About a year ago I jumped on a friend's T-Mobile plan and had to go back to AT&T within a week.

I got lots of LTE drops in certain areas and dropped LTE or got poor signal in buildings. I remember one day I was going to the gym and I had solid LTE in the parking lot and then it dropped when I got into the gym.

I also got very poor signal at work. So that sealed the deal for me. I like what T-Mobile is doing but you get what you pay for... At least in my case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nosferatu.:
Everyone's mileage will vary based on where you're at. I had AT&T for 4 years, switched to T-Mobile for 2 years, and now I'm back on AT&T.

To summarize, when they both work, T-Mobile is faster both in raw output speed and in ping times (where it matters most for mobile).

T-Mobile really lacked once you went off the beaten path (e.g. driving on the highway between areas). It also lacked going into buildings badly. I did like WiFi calling, free SMS in the air, and the global data/SMS usage when travelling abroad.

AT&T overall just has more solid service. Just recently I made a trip to Arizona and my wife and I are on AT&T. Her sister and her boyfriend are on T-Mobile. Guess who's phone we kept using while we traveled from location to location through rural AZ. AT&T. Granted there were some areas there was ZERO service for any phone carrier but overall AT&T gave you the service.

I miss unlimited data but I never really pushed past 10-12 GB even on T-Mobile so I figured what the hell, I'll switch back. Both services use GSM so it's an easy swap.

I run 4 lines (me, wife, parents) and I pay the bill. With employee discounts on both the pricing difference was about the same for me so AT&T it is. Plus T-Mobile was a PITA when it came to employee pricing every year removing it from my account. I had to constantly call customer service to get it back on and that was a fiasco. I told them to piss off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Fmstrat:
Me too, but the "no warranty" is the only thing keeping me away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] stu5797:
One of my best cell phone moves ever was getting this note 5 unlocked through ebay for $590 to use it on AT&T
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] dc82:
Same. I used to root every phone out of necessity because androids literally needed tweaks and fixes. Nowadays Android is so solid as is I feel rooting is a luxury that I no longer need. I'm fine with my AT&T and full warranty over any possible marginal "increase" in functionality I'd get by rooting a non-warrantied phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Fmstrat:
I'm so on the fence here. Couple of questions: What ROM are you using with AT&T? And what will you do for updates if you are not running a custom ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Psyscope:
Actually there is an online unlock service that will get you around the T-Mobile unlock app and unlock it for you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] inneyeseakay:
I went the other way... Wanted to use Samsung Pay, so I gave up root on my n920t and traded for n920a... Samsung Pay, Android Pay, VoLTE/HD Voice, WiFi Calling was worth giving up root IMO.

Wish I could clear some crap off my notification bar, but it's a small price to pay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] ToxicDev:
How did you get wifi calling on an ATT variant? I do not have an option to activate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] inneyeseakay:
They've said its coming to N5, not here yet. ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] eighty1:
Anyone here using the international note 5 920i? Just ordered it on ebay last night, but then read that samsung pay doesn't work and now I'm assuming Volte won't work either? I am currently using the AT&T variant and don't mind using it stock because, like a few of you the ROM'ing isn't as fun or important anymore. I mainly jumped on the international for the option to root, but solely because I wanted silver. Dont want to give up those features solely for color.

Good evening folks. I hope I'm posting in the correct place.

First id like to start off thanking everyone for whatever help I can get. I know I've come to the place where I can get some help.

I apologize in advance If I'm lacking any info in my post.

I REALLY NEED HELP.:crying::crying::crying:

I have a rooted metro pcs galaxy s4

I have recently started having a really slow phone. Slow is a understatement actually.

Everything freezes up and I cant do anything with it. I DO have root access.

Anything I try to do such as enter the phone settings, an app or simply try make a call just seems to take a ton of processing power and eventually glitches or freezes up and force closes themselves.

It reminds me of a computer that doesn't have enough memory in it.

I installed some app in the play store that required root access called adjbrightness and ever since then my phone has been crazy slow with apps and services crashing.

I cannot be certain this app had anythinto do with my problem though.

I cant even make a call Its soooo bad.. GGRRrrrrrrrrr......:crying::crying::crying:

I installed one click kango root about a month ago and definitely haven't had any problems until about a week or so ago.

Since then iv tried everything. I'm pretty good with android phones too. I'm always helping ppl fix slow phones or computers.

I fear I may have force stopped or disabled a critical system function or service by accident.

Iv done the following already...

-Factory reset first then uninstalled the root.

-Ever since I unrooted today, I am unsure if I can or should or even could do a factory reset now. Because if I try to do it upon reboot, a warning states that installing custom roms can be damaging to my phone. Um.... Yikes!

-I formatted and removed my SD card.

-Prior to unrooting I did do factory reset several times without results.

I'm really freaking out.

I know this was something that could happen upon rooting as a risk I was taking.

I feel this issue was somehow due to the root access ultimately and that something in the rom (or what not) is glitching badly or some code is just missing.

- I never installed custom rom or messed with the rom that I know of.

-I never messed with any kernels or clocking methods because that's all too scary for me.

-I really didn't mess with things I didn't understand.

I rooted mainly to save battery and ditch some factory bloatware. I'm sure yall can relate.

Oh and I didn't download anything from porn sites, don't worry. HAHA.

Pleeeeeeese, please PLEASE, help lead me on the right path and I will be your best friend for ever.... I just haven't a clue what the issue could be. :crying::crying::crying:

Thank you so much for any and all help in advance.

THX!!!!! K++:confused:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
I would suggest you download the latest metropcs firmware for your device and flash with Odin. Don't worry about the warning, it's supposed to say that. Hopefully you don't have any important info or media that you haven't backed up. If so, back it up before you flash. After the flash, boot straight into recovery and do a factory reset. After that you will start off fresh and your phone should be back to normal

Just saw this right now and if you still need help I might be able to help. I'm also on MetroPCS. That firmware you downloaded is a t-mobile one and I'm not sure what version it is but download the stock one from this thread http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/development/stock-base-metropcs-4-4-4-fni3-galaxy-t2899701 then flash it in Odin . After flashing it set it up and all that stuff and do the software update. It'll update your modem to NK3 which is the latest. I'd say use it for about a week and see if it's good or you can just root it right away if you want. I used CF auto root for M919 to root my M919N (MetroPCS version of the S4). For recovery I use TWRP jfltmo. After that just make a backup and keep it on your computer or SD card just incase something happens again so you can flash the backup. If you want to flash a ROM I recommend Hispasian ROM (currently using) or Insane Hybrid. Both are really stable and fast ROMS.

As you can see, there is no "best ROM" out there for your device. The best ROM is the one you determine works best for you. Smartphone users all have different needs, and what works best for one user may not work best for another. Try a few out, and see which is best based on your needs.

There is a temporary root for the AT&T and Verizon retail versions running kit Kat, the problem is the write protection which keeps it from being a permanent root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] XDAFTW:
I just asked the same thing a few days ago and I got the same response. And nothing else so far.

Unless you specifically say full root or "write protection" someone will hound with the whole we have root already thing. Everyone just feels they have to put their 2 cents in.

It just seemed like an interesting idea since it is possible to get system level control. But it might just end up giving the same partial root.

However the upside to that could be root on anything before the G5 stagefright patch.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] KennyG123:
According to a Google engineer, the stagefright vulnerability is not as dangerous as first thought. Newer phones have built in protection that randomizes where that data is written to and the person trying to exploit it would basically need to know where it ended up.

The article is here and sounds like it would be very difficult to utilize it to gain temporary root.
