settings-> mobile network -> network operators

Is there a way to unlock this setting?

Search the forums. There's a way around it.

Golly thanks. Never would have thought of that. Any clues on which forums to search? The ATT forums pulled up nothing for me.

No way I've found around it.. don't know what he is talking about.

Search "GSLEON APN Unlock" in AT&T Development. I'd post a link if I wasn't on my phone.
Edit: Scratch that. Can't find it in there anymore. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Anyway if that is what you are talking about adding an non lte apn can be done but that is nit the same thing as unlocking it enabling manual network selection.

Is it something in the SIM that locks it?

i would greatly appreciate if someone found it!

What are you guys trying to do with this? When I go through it seems to be unlocked I can choose att and T-Mobile and I'm on att network

Where did you get the phone? I'm guessing from your sig you are rooted and running a non-ATT rom?

if you are talking to me i got my phone from att and i am using my att rom

Is that all it takes? Coolio. What is the best way to unlock? Also, I'm not worried about LTE vs 4G , just carrier selection.

oh im not unlocked either phone is just rooted running my rom

Would unlocking get carrier selection working?

I'm not sure I have carrier selection and I'm not unlocked

Just rub a little salt in the wound why doncha... lol. That is where I wanna be. I get into areas where the ATT signal is weak but present, and the phone will go on a roaming network. If I reboot it comes back up on ATT. Might have to go the root/rom route. Unless unlocking will get me there...

TMO if you want carrier branded apps and I.D. information...
ATT if you don't care...
But radio and RIL files Will be critical in getting the full service obviously...
And those files would be found in the TMO rom...(for ril files mostly)...
Radio image can be flashed over an ATT rom anyway of course....g

Thanks for the help will do

You won't be able to use the Verizon Note 2 on T-Mobile.

Why not. On their site it said my phone was compatible, all I need to do is put their sim card in and switch the apn.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

I thought the Verizon version was locked down and has to be unlocked by Verizon. Are you rooted right now?

This thread seems to show that it works. Dunno about LTE connectivity but it looks like it works for HSPA.

Some phones (made for specific carriers) have both CDMA and GSM capabilities, ie. the Verizon Note 2, iPhone 5

I am rooted..found out lastnight they are partially sim unlocked because you cant get LTE connectivity unless you fully unlock it.

Some have one. The VZW one does. I think it is specifically for roaming as the device is definitely gsm capable.

It's for the LTE network on Verizon. The SIM card had all the LTE sign in information and for foreign sim cards when global.
Having said that the Verizon note 2 is already sim unlocked (you do need root to change apns). You will get edge data and if you're in areframed t mobile you'll get HSPA, I'm honestly not sure about LTE.
I know this because I've owned both and was very active in the Verizon forum as well. I also thought about this exact move, but choose to sell my Verizon and buy atmo version. Better compatibility and wifi calling

Well I got my SIM today and all is well. Surprisingly faster than the verizon service I was getting and had no issues with the setup.

Rom suggestions. APN settings? Metro pcs

Hello there.
I just unlocked and rooted my t999.
I will be using it with metro pcs, can anyone recommend any roms good to use with metro pcs? Or can I just stay stock? Is it safe to delete the t-mobile apps? What APN setting should use for data, mms, sms and voice to work properly?
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

You can use any rom or stay stay stock, up to you, and yes you can delete the T-Mobile apps.. For the APN, the T-Mobile APN will work fine

I'm sorry I don't know why I keep saying metro pcs, most metro pcs retail stores in my city changed to AIO wireless, so I'm getting AIO not metro, they told me it's the same as at&t as they are working with the same towers, so you think I have to change the APN from tmobile's to at&t? Or AIO?
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

You would have to change it, but I don't know if at&t APN would work. As far as ROMs you can also use at&t ones as well

If you call T-Mo, they can tell you if its blacklisted. If it is then it will not work.

It is blacklisted and it worked right when I inserted the AIO sim card, I just had to enter the APN for data to work.

Question: what should be done...

I unlocked my T-Mobile Note 2 and successfully changed carrier to Straight Talk using AT&T cell. My question is once the Kitkat update rolls out, do I have to install a T-Mobile rom or an AT&T rom? Or is there any alternative? Please advise.

Doesn't matter. AT&T or N7105 are fine. Stick to the T-Mobile modem and the rest is details. The AT&T & N7105 communities are fairly active.

Am I interpreting this correctly, that you can just flash the att rom for a N7105 on the t889?

This morning I had some problems with my phone, so I had to reset the phone and reinstall everything. Thus far everything is good, I am more interested to know about AT&T rom on note 2, can we install it?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

as long as the rom doesn't flash a new bootloader or modem (only a few do). you can flash at&t or n7105 roms

Nice to know... Thanks
