Bought a new i317 and unlocked it now I'm using it for another carrier: Telcel
I do get 3G the only problem is that it loses the signal every once in awhile, sometimes it goes for 2 hours without it.
Everytime I notice that it isnt getting a 3g connection (because I want to use it for checking email and web browsing) I turn off/on mobile data and it registers again and no probs until a few hours pass by and then i dont have 3g anymore
The 3g icon never really stops appearing I just cant get mobile data service.
Did I make the mistake of buying an i317 over the n7100 (which is the one my carrier sells and uses) ?
nothing...?

I'm getting mobile data, my problem is that it doesn't seem to be consistent :/
could that still be corrected through APN settings though?

Are you still on the original AT&T modem? Or what modem are you on J2, K7, or MA4. That might b an issue also. And don't try to flash a different carrier radio. I've read that that'll just give a world of trouble.. FYI

No problem. I just did my buddies TMO GN2, to work on AT&T. And someone posted that they tried that in the TMO thread and the phone kept restarting. Guess it doesn't play nice with each other?

So they can be used same AT&T on Bell canada and vice versa? Even unlocking a bell or even togers to use on Straight Talk ising an AT&T sim?
Some people have reported that flashing the wrong carrier's modem had wiped their IMEI.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I'd avoid it especially since it probably won't make a world of difference even if the performance was different. If the hardware is perfectly identical, I'm sure it would work but I still wouldn't want to try it.

Ok i was just being curious if it would be a massive undertaking.
i bought a at&t note 2 1 month ago that had bad imei on at&t,i didnt care because i was going to use on tmobile, well out of nowhere i loose signal and phone now says searching for network i called tmobile to see if imei was block from there service too and guy said no everything looks fine , what else can it be ?i flashed radio again and same problem,
must have been reported stolen?

Sir at&t and tmobile are sharing their blacklists with each other .. Tmobile wont say that it is blocked from their network because it is blocked from at&t's network

I would say that if it was working b4. Are you on a custom Rom? What radio/modem are you running? Have you tried to charge that? Also another thing have you tried changing the APN? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172110
There's many things that can cuz that to happen. I'll say if your in a custom Rom then start over! Maybe it's some thing simple.
Also when you unlocked it did you change anything else, in the hidden menu?
Just my 2¢

I'm confused, if your imei is there then it shouldn't be blacklisted, right? Call att and see if they have it on their blacklist.

Is there one, if at all?
I know some rom's don't come with a radio and sometimes I try to tend to flash those types of rom's.
But I was just wondering... Right now I'm on Jedi XP12 for the i317.
Also my phone is AWS hack/enabled, so do I really need to worry about a radio?
Dont flash any radio accept for att note 2 radio. If im not mistaken it will brick it

Yeah I know that, I was just wondering if there was any modded radio or modem made for i317 users on T-Mobile.
Or what would be the best recommended radio/modem for i317 users on T-Mobile, if any at all?
I typically try to stick to rom's with no radios/modems, so my phone isn't uselessly searching and searching for AT&T Signals since it's on T-Mobile... If that makes any sense, plus just to save the battery a lil bit more, since I don't need them.

When ya did that was it cause the newest one wasnt out yet?
I'm on 4.1.2, so I wonder if I should use the 4.1.2 version, also the modem ya can just install through TWRP or do I need to use Odin? I'm thinking Odin instructions is for the factory image..
I'm curious.
Hrmm...
Okay tried that made sure make a nandroid backup including my existing modem, flashed the new modem and it'd recheck the app's then finish that and sit there stuck and frozen on sorting app's, had to restore from nandroid.

Could it because I'm running a rom that has a modem already installed on it, let alone a AT&T modem?

Ok, you have a TMO GN2 right? And your saying the you have a AT&T modem on there? Because that will brick the phone. But if you have it up an running then your good to go. My buddy has the TMO version. So when I switched or his modem with the new one his speeds increased. So I'm saying if yours if a TMO GN2, then you'll b ok flashing a TMO modem!

Naw vice versa kinda, I have unlocked AT&T Note 2 (i317) on T-Mobile, I know better to cross flash rom's so to speak (Ya know flash a T889 rom onto a i317), but I was just wondering since there were so many AT&T Note 2 users on T-Mobile if there was any sort of a hacked and modified T-Mobile Radio/Modem for the Unlocked AT&T Note 2, to get the most out of our signal, connection and speed.
Also if it was needed at all since we have the AWS Mod.

I tried the MC3 today. After installing I was able to pick up a weak signal but as soon as I walked around the house the signal dropped. At the office i had a better signal using the old modem vs MC3. I think I will try the one for t mobile. Thxs

Bajanman,
You saved me several hours. I will download the older ATT modems and see if that works.
I tried one of the old modems and got the same results. I continue to get varying degrees of signal strength. I saw some people saying this could be a hardware issue , any ideas.

I want to switch my carrier from verizon to TMO and im wondering if anyone here has done it or knows if the vzw n2 will work on TMO? If I set the network to GSM in settings and set the apns to t mobile will everything work ok or is my phone locked somehow by vzw? Thanks

Im reading up on this a bit and I have a feeling that my phone is locked as I am still under contract for my n2. If so would I be able to unlock it with something like in the pic below? Or better yet would I need to unlock it if it is locked to use it on TMO?

Here you go buddy. This is how you can get your note 2 work and it's free and easy. Couple things though you will only get edge data unless in a reframed area (don't really know how far that's progressed in the last 6 months) also tmo coverage sucks inside buildings so you'll want wifi calling if you spend a lot of time in brick buildings. You can try flashing a tmo ROM (without kernel and modem) to get it, but I don't think that works
