Ive searched many threads but cant find an answer. I carrier unlocked my T Mobile Note 2 and use it with AT&T. I see many people have done this but those people get at least 3G speeds. Im getting Edge only speeds. I added the APN wap.cingular and tried the PTA one. PTA doesnt work and wap.cingular is how I get edge speeds. What can I do?

You'll need to install an ATT compatible radio to get 3g. I don't even know if one exists, but I'd try googling something like "use T-Mobile note 2 on AT&T" or something like that.

That is not accurate.
I have a T889 that is unlocked. When I put my AT&T SIM card into it, I get 3G speeds comparable to my regular AT&T devices.
I didn't do any kind of modem flashing or other tweaks. I might have had to enter the proper APN settings, it's been sb while so I don't recall for sure, but I know for a fact that nothing else was needed.

The ROM I'm using (based off an international Note 2) seems to have AT&T APN settings built into it, but they seem similar to one's I've input manually when on the stock ROM.
I just shoved my AT&T SIM into the phone and confirmed HSPA+ service being received, although it's a pitiful 3 Mb/s around here. That's the same I got on my One X with the same SIM just before putting it in the Note 2 to get you these settings.
Here's some screenshots for you to coy the APN settings from.

if you use dialer code *#*#4636#*#* .. can you access the pop-up menu? You can enable LTE/UMTS in this section...
Same Problem
I just went to AT&T to get a new micro sim, called cust service to change my imei ( though not the actual international one ) to make sure I'm on the right plan, but after testing the phone and PTA APNs I'm still only getting Edge speeds ..if anyone can help that would be great!
Hello All,
I am trying to edit the build.prop to enable data during calls in my N7100 (UK O2 network). I added ro.ril.enable.dtm=1 to the build.prop file, rebooted the phone and phone hang on the Samsung logo. Anybody know how it should be done?
Thanks guys.
It's not recommended to use data during calls.
To get out of logo hang try flashing stock rom.

Thanks for the rpely UtkarshGupta. I've already restored my device from backup, but it will be great to know why I cannot use data during calls.
Don't know exactly about it but my network provider does not allow it either , I tried it on s2 but outcome was fail. Have you ever seen it on any other phone that uses data during call bcoz I think its something related to network provider as my s2 booted without sim card.

I read on several threads that GSM networks allow data and voice at the same time and CDMA doesn't. I am in GSM and surprised I cant change the build.prop for this.
Is it not a network restriction.... Some networks allow it and some don't?
Edit: I can call and use data simultaneously using EE with my note 2.
This is while using 3g/hsdpa. It may not work on gsm/gprs

however if your network changes to 2g or from 3g to hsdpa Youll loose data altogether until you end your call I'm same network, same phone. and it drives me nuts using Navigation + phone at the same time

At&t allows call and data in the USA. I haven't tried it on my note2 yet though. I hope it is not restricted by Samsung.

Maybe 3g + call will work
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I would call my service provider and ask about this, I've never had any issues with this, and pretty certain that I've used data and navigation constantly switching between modes while in calls.
I think it's pretty obvious that there is no limitation in the note 2 itself regarding this.

Ok SO I could not find a proper thread for this since there are SO many threads. The issue I'm having is I got a Samsung galaxy S III that was unlocked, and after I put my ATT sim into it I could recieve texts and calls but I could not recieve data. So I rooted it and applied clockwork with all my mods and figured I could find some setting that would fix it... well I was wrong. I tried global, GSM and LTE settings none of which would give me data. If there is anything anyone can do to help I would be more than appreciative.

While I agree that you should always call at&t so they can register a device to your account, this will not help his current data issue
OP, is this an international s3, T-Mobile or at&t? What firmware/rom is installed? Again, verify your imei is intact
Ok so this is a verizon Galaxy S3. It is rooted running 4.1.2 JB, Kernal 3.0.31. After I got the phone I did go to an ATT store to register a micro sim because i didn't have one at the time. So the imei is registered to my sim card perfectly. I can get calls and texts without any issue but no data. How do I figure out what the apn settings are and if I have the right configuration?

You do realize you're trying to use a cdma phone (verizon) on a gsm network (at&t), right? Different radios. Different technology. Won't work
Well it was unlocked at the phone has a gsm option so if it wasn't compatable I don't see why they would have the option there to actually use a gsm network.

You need to read more.
this phone only supports GSM with EDGE data.* This essentially means that you'll get 2G data speeds (unless you have a WiFi connection) because it doesn't support UMTS/HSPA+ which is required for international and U.S. 3G data. the 4G LTE frequency supported by this phone is only used in the U.S.* For those who don't know UMTS/HSPA+ is the 3G technology used by GSM carriers internationally (and used by AT&T and T-Mobile in the U.S.) which is different from the CDMA/EV-DO 3G technology used by Verizon and Sprint.*
This phone IS unlocked, that part is correct. But only for gsm carriers
So its preventing me from recieving ANY form of data possible?? It is a Verizon phone and I have ATT so you mean it doesn't support GSM then right?

You're in an at&t s3 forum with a verizon s3 that has zero data. If you really want to pursue this issue, you should start looking around in the Verizon S3 forums

you have a Verizon S3, that is the FIRST place you need to go. always go to the forum for the device you have, bro.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1708
If I'm not mistaken, some Verizon devices will not work on US gsm networks even if unlocked, only foreign gsm networks.
Saw an article about this, although it might have been a different phone that was being discussed.

If you are going to stick with AT&T, that is the way to go if you want to have data. No worries. Stupidity is only if you didn't learn anything. You had ignorance of the situation and now your don't. Do some research on any phone before you buy next time (especially if branded from another carrier). This can save you a lot of headaches as you have just learned. Just remember some basics from this forum. Good luck.
I been at this for thee days now! so I bought a gnex from a friend that was using it on a plan with at&t. he now uses a prepaid plan with a different phone and sold me this galaxy nexus. now I did have a Motorola defy that I was using for tmobile but it has gon to crap so using a sim adaptor I placed it into this gnex but it wont pic up the tmobile network. when I go to settings phone info status it has my sim card phone number and all that, but it doesn't have network and all the other stuff. :crying:
so does anyone know how I can fix this or give me a walkthrough with using the unlock codes for Samsung galaxy nexus?
AT&T never sold a galaxy nexus. you already have an unlocked device. try doing a factory reset from the settings with your SIM card in it. Are you sure your sim adapter is fitting correctly?

Thanks for that! Now I tried a few of the APN settings found here on xda but none of them work! What's weird is now my voicemail icon popped up but I can't connect with network still or make phone calls!

How many different threads are you going to open for the same exact issue? You are breaking multiple forum rules right now.
Have you tried calling TMobile to see if there is anything they need to do on their end? There shouldn't be but you never know
