I searched all over the place and can't find a straight answer. Can you get AT&T LTE on a T-Mobile T889 N2? I saw some threads saying you can't but then posts with in the thread saying you can. What's the deal. I am on AT&T service but switching in about 2 months to T-Mobile. That is why I have the T889. Any help or direction to get AT&T LTE working in the meantime would be great.
It won't be possible because I believe the att lte band is a band 2 and the tmobile band is a band 4

There is so much confusion about this, I heard they were using the same bands. I think people are waiting to see when TM finally sends out the update that unlocks it . Since neither have LTE in my area, I'm in no hurry, especially since I do Go phone. If Straight Talk gets LTE on TMobile then I'll worry about it.
so lte cannot be enabled on the t889??????
It can, problem is we don't have a confirmed reversible, and safe procedure. I have a draft guide I've sent a few users via PM, but no one's gotten back to me confirming that it worked on their end.
The procedure is a bit involved and requires ADB, QPST, NV_reader_writer and CWM or TWRP along with a couple of other files.
Here's a rather lengthy post explaining what I did and what happened
Okay yeah everything said here is what i gathered. Seems that it can be done but in my exact instance it may not be worth it as i plan on switching to TMO next month. I still get HSPA+ which is plenty fast enough until then.

I'm not interested in getting LTE working. Currently I have AT&T micro sim and a T-Mobile Note 2, how do I get HSPA+ though? Must I unlock the phone? Also since I'm using AT&T would I flash The T-Mobile Note 2's roms or the AT&T note 2's roms?

ATT Lte on T-mobile note ii is possible
because T889 has LTE bands 4,17 and Att supports band 17 and band 4 but not in all areas

I'm currently on att with a note 2 and i've switched to t-mobile and will be recieving a new phone in the mail soon. Should i return it and just flash a t-mobile rom onto my current phone? or should i just sell my att one on craigslist and keep the new t-mobile phone? Any possible loss of features or functionality by sticking with the phone i have?
Keep the tmo one.
It dosent have lte yet, so hang on to att one too I suggest but tmo has added aws band.

I don't understand your answer to the OP.
I'm in the exact same situation as the OP. I'm with AT&T but they just took my unlimited data plan away so I'm probably going to switch to T-Mobile.
Are there any bands that the T-Mobile Note 2 has that can't be unlocked on the AT&T model? According to Wikipedia both AT&T and T-Mobile version of the Note 2 have AWS. I heard that you can enable the high speed bands on AT&T's model to work with T-Mobile. Is taht not true?

Tmo hasnt released the update to let tmo gnotes2 work on their lte network, because its not up and running most places... Possibly only update customers who are in Kansas City.
Not too clear if att gnotes2 with att specific firmware would work on tmo's network. Theoretically it should work, but their might be some radio issues that give u shoddy service. Unlocking phones is illegal now, so idk if u could sim unlock ur phone through att to work for tmo anyways. Might have to go through ebay or something to do so.

you will be able to make phone calls and text people no problem.
the only problem you will have is going to be data connectivity and data speeds because the NOTE2 for AT&T is meant to be used with AT&T LTE.
T mobile's main data band is 1700 which the AT&T phones usually do not have.
To answer your baseband or modem question I believe this thread does not have a modem or baseband for T mobile. You might have luck looking over at their forums, I am not sure.
Good luck to you sir.

The Dell Streak 5 is like the Nexus 4 it has all the HSPA bands. The LTE band for T mobile most likely will be different from AT&T. You can try to unlock it and compare the coverage and speed to your dell streak. I had a dell streak. Great phone!! sold it about a month ago for like 180 bucks.
My suggestion if the unlocked AT&T Note 2 isnt working properly and you want to stay with T MOBILE I would sell it and get the international version.
What you need to is search for how to "enable aws" and you will have 4g working on your device.

Technically no T-Mo customer has LTE yet, until April or so I've been told.

LoL! I was getting ready to say that.
All I can do is keep my fingers crossed and hope T-Mo uses the same freq as AT&T's LTE...
Then again given the circumstances of T-Mobile shortly taking over MetroPCS for their LTE coverage, they may have a larger or wider band of LTE frequency ranges.

I will apparently have T-Mo's 42MBPS HSPA+ as opposed to AT&T's 21MBPS HSPA+
_
Then again, that was my whole intentions of getting an AT&T Note 2 as to T-Mo's Note 2, I've been told there's no LTE Support for the T-Mobile version, but with AT&T I'd have more likely of a chance at having LTE support, once it's available... I still don't to this day don't get why T-Mobile released a crippled down version knowing that they'd have LTE in the near future.
I just didn't know it wouldn't work right away straight outta the box.

Nope they didn't specify anything with me just said the line "We'll have LTE in April" I'm going to the corperate office tomorrow or friday to get my micro sim and will ask them more about it then, if they know anything else. See if I need an lte micro sim or what and all that.

T-Mobile’s Chief Technology Officer Neville Ray discussed his company’s LTE rollout last month at CES. T-Mobile has said it plans to launch LTE for 100 million pops by mid-year, with 200 million covered by the end of 2013. Las Vegas is expected to be T-Mobile’s first LTE city. T-Mobile operates GSM on 1900 MHz (PCS) in the US and puts HSPA (and LTE) on the AWS band (1.7/2.1 GHz).

Well isnt that some useful info! Thanks for the unlock info I will be downgrading lol....Im with the guy above though did you have to flash a tmobile modem? Im running jedi rom for t889 on my i317 but was curious about flashing the modem and stuff.
What did you guys do to get tmobile 3g,4g and lte fully working on the i317? I have installed the jedi rom and all is working fine besides I have edge...So hopefully I can get a straight forward answer. My eyes are sore from reading.
And QPST is not working for me for QCN at all my phone is on com5 but when I go to get qcn says no phone connected....
So based on the Wireless Charging issues in the T889, I've just bought an AT&T note 2 on ebay to use on T-Mobile. I plan to unlock it and enable AWS through the hack in this thread:

Since they are so big on the Bring your own device right now I would think that would just be handled in the background.
I've got a galaxy nexus right now and I get pretty decent speeds. I never did anything besides popping in the t-Mobile sim.
I was worried about a PRL, but it looks like that is a CDMA thing only. Also, I'm curious if I can get HD Voice working.

I did exactly what you plan to do. My AT&T Note 2 works perfectly on T-Mobile. The APN is set automatically as soon as you slip in a T-Mobile simm card. I get speeds around 12 to 16 MB per second which seems to be about typicla for T-Mobile. LTE hasn't been rolled out yet so I don't know if I'll get that but I believe I will based on what I've heard.
What's this about wireless charging though? I thought only the international version could do that.

Hey Y'all,
I've seen the other threads and I know that LTE works for AT&T but for the life of me, I cannot get it to select LTE
at all. I've tried the connections-->network mode menu and whenever I select LTE+WCDMA+GSM it always reverts
back to WCDMA+GSM the moment i back out of the menu. Also when using the *#2263# and I try and select it
via that way, I get bars but no data. Can anyone help me shed some light on this?
Is there another way to prioritize LTE? Do i need to flash a new kernel or modem?
Thanks guys!

Technically, you shouldn't have to. It supports 700 MHz LTE out of the box. The T-Mobile S4 is the "best" version because it supports both AT&T and T-Mobile bands out of the box. The AT&T S4 supports AT&T and T-Mobile LTE out of the box, but not T-Mobile HSPA+ (AWS) without a mod.

It's more along the lines of a troubleshooting method. I believe I read another thread exactly like yours and the solution was to flash att radio. Think of it like a regular am/fm radio. All the hardware is there, but without something to control what stations it can play, how's it gonna know what to play?

The network is decided by the SIM card (the entire purpose of GSM). With an AT&T SIM, he should still be able to pick up T-Mobile LTE (AWS LTE is what T-Mobile uses and it's supported in all AT&T devices). My AT&T Note 2 gets T-Mobile LTE, just like my T-Mobile Note 2 does.
Also you can't cross-flash modems because the partition sizes are different; ROMs may be compatible (that's the case with the Note 2) but not the modem. If you flash another device's modem, you'll lose your IMEI (until you flash back the correct one) and your device will bootloop with no signal. From experience.
IGNORE THE GUY TELLING YOU TO FLASH THE AT&T RADIO. YOU'LL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
----------------------------
I just remembered the reason. AT&T won't activate LTE on a non-AT&T phone (on their end on the computer) unless you lie to them and give them the IMEI of an AT&T device. 10000% sure. Fixed this for another guy with a T-Mobile Note 2 trying to use it on AT&T. I have one for you. You go on chat online and tell them you're not getting LTE. They ask you for an IMEI number of an AT&T LTE device (it doesn't have to be your S4's) and then they can activate LTE on their end. I happen to have an IMEI of an in-store HTC One on hand. I'll PM you.

I'm gonna meet him in a few minutes to get another sim card just to give this another shot before i do an exchange at t-mobile seeing as t-mobile is more anal about doing exchanges unless they can physically verify in store what you're *****ing about.

You dont need to be so rude first of all. Secondly I never told him to do anything, i simply asked if he flashed the radio and told him it was a troubleshooting method. Meaning, research it before you do it. Just like anything else.
Secondly, others have gotten LTE on their T-Mobile devices without talking to ATT. I already stated i was using the top of my head for diagnosing and never did i tell him to do anything. And since i was going off the top of my head, i remember being able to flash ATT radios to the S3 and S2 of T-Mobile. Also, he has a T-MOBILE DEVICE wanting ATT LTE on it, not the other way around as you are thinking.. Any how, we are two very smart people, we need not argue with one another and telling the op to ignore someone. Thats just flat out rude. Especially since i never said "go flash the ATT radio" i simply asked a question.
To the OP,
Have you set up your APN configurations for ATT?

I'm sorry if I came off as rude to you; I was merely trying to tell him to not cross-flash S4 modems as it can brick the device; you have to be careful what you tell people to do if they're coming to you for help. It's not like with the S2. I correctly said he has a T-Mobile device and wants AT&T LTE on it, and as I said before, I've fixed the issue with someone who was in the same situation with a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2. Like I stated, the phone itself is capable of 700 MHz LTE, which is what AT&T uses. You don't have to flash any modems. It should just work. The fix is above in the last paragraph.

Did you try changing APN configurations?
Update: I switched the phone, did the unlock process again and....it still refuses to select LTE. I dunno. At this point I'm at a loss and thinking that it might have something to do with the unlock process itself. I might just do one more exchange and pay for the unlock. Can someone who has AT&T LTE on their S 4 do me a favor and post their APN settings so I can compare just to be absolutely sure it's correct?
I have a T-Mobile s4 that I put my AT&T SIM card in out of my AT&T galaxy note 2 and lte works fine. My issue is, I have random losses of network signal then it just comes back moments later while using the T-Mobile s4 with my AT&T SIM card. I used the unlock method posted in the T-Mobile s4 thread, rooted and flashed the Jedi Rom from the T-Mobile s4 thread. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Is this compatible with the T-Mobile LTE? They are much cheaper than the T-Mobile version and I know how to unlock the sim card slot also.

I have an ATT Note II running on TMobile. I had to go into a hidden menu to enable the correct radios for TMobiles networks. Seems to work fine with the stock ATT Rom.
However, I switched to Cyanogen, and my service was instantly broken. I'm still not sure exactly what caused this. I'll let you know if I figure anything more out.
I also bought an S4 before I got my note2 it was an ATT variant had to unlock it to use tmobile. Afterwards I had to enable AWS to get 4g even. Might be something to look into. Might be the hidden menu the person above me mentioned, Google enable aws on note2 att version or model number see what you get.
Any att note 2 on tmobile Service will prove to you in a short amount time that its a headache cause the same quality of 4g or Lte signal at any same given time or spot when compared to a actual t889 model is weaker then a t889.
Yes it works but trust me ive used 5 att notes...on tmobile ....the signal drops it goes 4g edge lte edge all the while with a t889 comparing them side by side at same time ...it just has a lot to do with how a tmobile t889 is fine tuned for there frequencys .
Even if u enable the aws bands on att Note 2 its still not as strong as using a carrier branded Note 2
Im sure some who read this will agree and know what I mean.

I had the verizon model first and although i would get data it was nothing like the T889 i have now .
I think I'll stop being cheap and add the extra $60 and get the T-Mobile version
