Hi,
I basically want to know if there is any difference between these devices, other than network provider lock.
Can you use the ROMs interchangeably?
I think the tmo model does support att's bands and u can probably interchange roms as well like on the tmo s2 and the skyrocket

We don't know for sure yet that the ROMs will be interchangeable. However, given that most T-Mobile phones support the 850/1900 NAM bands (GSM) needed for AT&T HSPA+, as long as the phone is unlocked it should work fine.

In thinking of doing this. Does anyone know if it works with the Medianet data plan?

The Galaxy S2 did. Reading the specs page on the Tmobile website, I've come to the conclusion that the bands are identical to the AT&T variant's. I'm going to be doing the same thing.
Will hspa+ work? If so, tmo users who will be paying full price would be better off
Buying from att because its less than tmos full price cost.
Plus wireless tethering would work Because tmo doesn't have imei # of att phone.
Can anyone confim?
i would like to know this as well, paying 549 if a lot better than 639.

FYI only T-MO has HSPA +42 version of the S3 for those looking to buy from At&t.
anyone can confirm this?? does the gs3 from tmo works on att HSPA+ and vice versa and if the tmo gs3 works internationally on 3g networks.
All right,unlocked my T999 galaxy s3, put my AT&T micro sim in phone but I get no data. I can make phone calls no problem.Do I have to do anything with the APN settings?
Thank you!!
You need to make an AT&T APN. Also the AT&T version will not get 3G on T-Mobile without at the very least a modem flash.

O.K. just added a couple ATT apn settings still no data.any other suggestions?
By the way i have a 4g micro sim.Thought Tmobile S3 had ATT hspa+ bands.
Got apn settings from these forums.
Might want to do a lot of research before trying to flash an att ROM on tmo or vice versa. I heard the tmo phones are quad core.

did you flash an AT&T radio? you will probably need to do that.
how did you unlock your phone? did you just buy a code or did you try one of the XDA methods?

I'm buying an unlocked T-mobile Galaxy s3 from a really nice guy. I'm on AT&T, and would like to A) confirm it will work on HSPA+, and B) I would like to know how to go about setting it up on the Medianet plan.

Someone may correct me but I don't think HSPA+ will work on ATT. They use different frequencies. If you had the international SGS3, HSPA+ would work on ATT.
OK thank you, I'll pass on the GS3, I'll just keep my iphone
It works. T-Mobile s3 has the frequencies needed. My s3 is T-Mobile unlocked and using it with at&t.

+1. The T999 supports 850/1700/1900/2100 for HSPA+. Therefore it will work on Atts H+. I use both T-Mobile and straight talk on my t999.

I assume that is something to do with at&t if so, you would have a better chance asking there.
I'm now on att with gsm unlocked. It is a Verizon model. If I flash an att rom will it work? Can anyone confirm ?

For any one interested I have successfully flashed att rom to my Verizon note2 with no additional steps needed. This is only good for someone using the gsm side as there now no option for cdma. But just letting everyone know

note 2 verizon on att.. no gps...
I too have a note 2 verizon model, I loaded the clean rom 5 ace and chose att. I also use straight talk as my carrier, My gps quit working!!
The reason I picked att is when I run verizon on the install is that when a call comes it it has a +1, when I call someone right back I get a international call failed every fricken time. anyone have a fix for "note 2 verizon on att service" Please help'!!!
Hi, I am looking to buy a new unlocked Galaxy Note 2 to use on the Solavei/T-Mobile network. I live in Manhattan, NYC but like to travel and wondering if I buy the international version N7100 what is the fastest speed I can get in NYC? 4G?
What about the N7105?
Or the T889 from T-Mobile? Will this work well overseas?
What is the difference between these models in regards to T-Mobile data speed in NYC and general use overseas?
Thanks in advance!

Unlock T-Mobile version and get advantage of Wi-Fi calling to save you from roaming.
I wonder if wifi calling will work from European ip addresses? That will allow to call USA practically for free. Anyone can comfirm that. Doesn't Tmobile sim need to be installed for wifi calling to work?

Others have done it in the past. You would need to have the tmo sim in.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Is there a difference in battery life between T889 and N7100 since the former uses the LTE network? I'm fine with H+ as long as I can get 5 Mbps down...
I'm not sure if I care about the Wifi calling since I will have unlimited calls on my plan, and will mostly be using it in Manhattan, sometimes Brooklyn, and other major US cities like Miami and LA so don't think I need to worry about roaming too much...right?

Yes, I have done it in Mexico and France as long as you have T-mobile sim.
Have an AT&T i317 unlocked with a T-mobile data sim.
I've done the tweak to enable the 3G/4G bands, a la http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068041
But now T-mobile added LTE in a few markets. I drove through one and suddenly got no data access. This is with "preferred network mode" set to LTE/WCDMA. If I switch to GSM/WCDMA, all is well (it sticks to the HSUPA and H+). So clearly it thinks it's on LTE but the phone can't access the T-mobile LTE.
I'm using Cyanogenmod 10.1, android 4.2.2, which also makes the model number show GT-N7105 instead of i317.
any tweaks to add the LTE? do i need to dump CM and use a diff ROM? do i need to go back to stock first to do any of this? (Right now, I can no longer dial *#7284#)
Thanks!
I am having a similar issue, I have a sgh-i317 with aws mod and the phone is not picking up t mobile lte even when placed next to a sgh-t889 that is getting it. Lte works with att sim but not working with tmobile sim. Any help would be great. I have tried many roms and modems and reflashing aws mod. Roms inculde jedimaster13/14 jedi x13/14 both att and tmobile versions and clean rom and stock 411 and stock 412
I figured it out see

Does the AT&T version have LTE? If it doesn't have the capability, but he modem is telling it to access it when it sees it, that might be why it dropped out completely. I'm mostly curious to see if AT&T LTE devices can use t-mobile's LTE network because I want to get an s4 active and I don't want to lose LTE by making that switch.
Try this for me, instead of that model number you have. Change it to the T-Mobile model#. Which is going to have to b done thru the build prop. Then reboot. Then go try and c if you pick up lte.
Because I just flashed a AT&T Rom on a T-Mobile GN2. And I pick up lte just fine with my AT&T SIM in there! And no AWS MOD what so ever. But the MODEM is still TMO, it'll always b TMO. Flash a att modem on a TMO GN2. Brick city.
Let me know what happens just curious!!
Edit: the Rom I flashed was SKY NOTE 9. No modem included!!!

WELL, here's your answer.
Maybe they getting the device at a cheaper price. Which would make someone but it. Instead of spending a lot more to have have the carrier brand you need. FYI
Both the phones are exactly the same. Besides the model# and done bloat. Like I said above, if it's unlocked it'll work, with both carrier's. So why not have that option to switch... and one more thing being able to take the phone internationally, and pop a SIM inside and ya have service. No roaming !!!
Just my 2¢® 2 you're question...
Att now has prepaid lte plan almost same as tmobile only .5 gb less of data everything else the same at 60 dollars . Plus att has better coverage well at least in the areas I frequent .

When a t-mobile version is available, I do buy it, but with ATT exclusives, that's not an option. For instance, I want the s4 active for its water resistance. T-mobile will soon offer the xperia Z, but when you compare the features and perormance, the s4 active is better, so for the money i'm willing to spend on a smartphone, i'd rather have the s4 active.. the hardware is capable of t-mobile LTE, but it still has to be configured properly with firmware and software to use the radios correctly. Since radios are some of the hardest pieces of firmware to alter, it's worth doing this investigation / collaborating to find work-arounds.
I didn't get tmobile lte on my at&t note 2 until I flashed the new at&t radio. That's all that had to be done. I'm using Skynote9 too. I did the aws mod again so I could get h+ 4g speed enabled and now is a flawless tmobile phone. Let me know if it works for you.
