[Q] Looking to purchase a Note II and had some questions

((( I moved this post from General to Q&A ))
I'm looking a purchasing a Samsung Note II that will be used on AT&T network. Since my upgrade is a year away, I have a Skyrocket that's only a year old, this phone will be a full price for me. I'm trying to find out some specific questions on the different Note II phone types, euro vs North America and what preloaded software differences are between them.
* the Note II that I purchase MUST have 4G LTE (AT&T FINALLY turned on 4G LTE in North East OKLA about 4 weeks ago! ..LOVEING IT).
* 10 minutes after I purchase the phone and verifying that everything is in working order it gets rooted.
I can purchase the phone from AT&T for full retail for 649. Best Buy said they would match that price (we'll see if they really do). When at Best Buy I asked about the preloaded software on the Note II (sense they do not have a working model on the floor) I was told in a blunt tone that it was an AT&T phone so it would work on AT&T's network.
Question---
1. Is the AT&T Note II phone that Best Buy sells have the same preloaded junk that comes on the one at the AT&T store?
2. Is the AT&T Note II phone that Best Buy sells been stripped of some of the Note II futures like the one at the AT&T store?
-- I read on an Amazon review the following http://www.amazon.com/review/R2Q2WM4I4VO8J7/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2Q2WM4I4VO8J7
Be aware that the AT&T version of the Galaxy Note II is currently missing various standard functionality that Samsung is marketing and the other major carriers provide- missing functionality include:
~Multiview
~Group Shot Camera mode - with the ability to change faces
~Mobile data toggle
~Blocking mode toggle
~Screen Recorder
Since I am trying to get the most bang for my buck (a lot of bucks) which Note II phone that will work on AT&T that has 4G LTE should I be looking at?
(note- I suffered waiting on an ICS update from AT&T, so not having to depended on AT&T for my Android updates is a big plus)
Any advise or pointers is appreciated
Thanks

1.yes
2.yes
I will never buy a phone with a att stamp on it.

non carrier branded
So if I go with an unlocked phone- non carrier branded, which model number should I get that will work on AT&T and have LTE?
I saw this on another review-
Update: LTE! There are many people commenting about this. Apparently there's a version of the international Note 2 (not the N7100) that sports LTE, the model number is N7105 and it comes with "LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 2100" (Sources: GSM Arena, Engadget and XDA forums). If you have a N7100 the LTE radio is simply not there. However this is not guarantee that the N7105 will work with AT&T's or Tmo's LTE, it all depends if those frequencies are compilant with those carriers' respective LTE signals. As LTE network compatibility can be a deal breaker for many people within the US, I suggest you to research very well before buying it. If someone can squeeze any info out of AT&T or Tmo, please comment. To shed more light on this issue, you can Google the xda thread 1917383. (Geez, all this makes me feel kinda happy I don't have to worry about LTE compatibility yet).

The only way to get lte with a note on att is with their model. If you can live with out lte the get N7100.in San Diego I get around 8mb down and around 2 up.
This PSA was Swyped out on my Paranoid Note 2 N7100

If you get the N7105, it will have LTE, but in the wrong bands for AT&T.
GT-N7105 (International Note 2): 800/1800/2600
SGH-i317 (AT&T Note 2): 700/850/AWS/1900
See how those don't line up?
I'd just get the 7100. You'll get 21mbps with that on AT&T with HSPA+ and you won't have any carrier BS. HSPA+ is pretty dang quick.
Might want to check this site too http://www.dailysteals.com/ got a good deal on note 2's today.

I am running the 7100 on AT&T in Phoenix. The lack of LTE does not bug me too often as the HSPA+ is good enough for my needs.
However, the OP stated that they would be rooting the phone. As such a clean bloat-free ROM for the AT&T phone would work on LTE. I have not been in the AT&T forums, but I assume there are bloat-free ROMs with all the missing features turned on.

Yes I plan on rooting the phone and installing a clean bloat free ROM. (rant) I just wanted to buy a phone with all the futures the EU version has and without the silly branding/bloat that carriers do, all they do is muck up the phone.

[Q] How to enable LTE ?

Vodafone New Zealand has just rolled out 4g lte where i live (auckland) 1800mhz. The problem is they're charging twice as much for half the bandwith !! Now i believe they're providing software updates to enable lte capable devices including my own (N7100) & am wondering if anyone here knows of a workaround to hook into the network. & also what their software update would consist of (modem maybe) ? Cheers.

N7100 does not have LTE. You will not be able to use that feature. N7105 has LTE.

Just spoke to the carrier & N7100 is good to go. Apparently they need to push something from their end to the sim & i should get a 4G connection. Any ideas ??

I got my note 2 from jb hi fi and they were selling LTE Vodafone NZ model. I can't confirm if the 4g works as I am on 2 degrees. I am pretty much sure that 4g enabled phones means LTE
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2

Voda's 4G is LTE. The N7100 does not have LTE-capable hardware, the N7105 variant is explicitly for the purposes of adding LTE & DC-HSPA+ support. However, Vodafone NZ do not sell the N7100, only the N7105, so if you got your Note II from Voda directly, you're good to go.
Any CSRs confused on this hardware distinction are mistaken. There is no way to enable 4G on an N7100.
If you're lucky enough to have an N7105, then you'll need their $10 4G upgrade each month, assuming you're on an eligible plan. The $120+ plans include it. Doubt anyone will be able to authenticate onto LTE without the upgrade product, it seems pretty well secured.

[Q] T-Mobile Galaxy S4 best S4 in the US?

After considering a number of things I've been led on deciding I'd probably want to get an S4 over the other currently available smartphones. I've held off because I had wanted a more premium feeling phone other than plastic, but I realize now I can easily buy an aluminum backing+bumper replacement to give it that look and feel.
Anyways now to the question part of it... I was preferring an unlocked device, but the Internationally sold i9505 and i9500 do not have faster than 3G in the US, or so I've read.
I'm not looking to get a specific phone service right away, for now I want a solid device I'll be happy with for some years to come. Mainly as a portable device with storage and apps, and a little down the road to use it as my mobile phone.
I need some confirmation, but from what I understand the T-Mobile version would probably be the best? Due to once unlocked you can use it on both T-Mobile, or AT&T with 4G/LTE speeds. Also I am led to believe the AT&T S4 does not have the right frequencies for T-Mobile 4G/LTE.
Aside the above wireless speed question, I'd like to know:
1. What would be the point in flashing the i9505/i9500 ROM on the T-Mobile version? To remove T-Mobile association more from the phone... boot screen/software?
2. Does T-Mobile actually sell their version of the S4 at full price, not linked to any plan? Will they provide an unlock code same day, assuming I don't use the free method posted publically. I'm dreading the possibility of having to jump through hoops.
Below I have summerized what I understand about a few non-carrier specific phones....
i9505: International LTE "not working in USA", quad core CPU.
i9500: International 8 core CPU, better GPU.
S4 Google Edition: 4G/LTE capabile, Quad Core CPU, No touchwiz, comes in white color only.
Anyways looking for S4 owner's knowledge, experience and opinions here!

if youre going to pay full price you might want to consider the LTE-A version aka snapdragon 800 version
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...1271471972?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item3384ceb764
32gb+snapdragon 800

According to that auction, it says it wont have 4G/LTE in the US? "I'm a frequency noob" One of my concerns was having something I could use on either TMobile or AT&T so I have options... if I was just looking at a 3g phone and cpu power I could just do this, or the i9500 "8 cores".

it gets hspa+ on tmobile and att it might be able to use LTE-A when tmobile and att add it to their networks
and the 8core isnt really 8 core its 4+4 = 4 low power 4 high power cores, only 1 pair of cores work at a time so its only quad core

Several threads say the 9505 can work on TMobile if you flash a compatible kernel but the 9500 is not compatible. With regard to AT&T vs. TMO compatibility, search for AWS mod. A T-Mobile salesman told me he got his girlfriend's AT&T phone to work on TMO network using that patch.

@OP
My experience is that yes, I could buy the S4 from TMO without plan, just pre-paid with a small credit. I do not live in the US,and had no problem with documentation or payment. Of course it is full price.
What the sales person told me is they will give you an unlock code only after 3 months if you are using it, reloading credit I guess. This doesn't work at all for me, but unlocking is actually real easy with the Samsun embedded app. I bought the phone and tried, it worked immediately (if it doesn't you can hand it back and have it refunded, for the restocking fee of 50USD).
Recently I used the ROM code here from Jamal (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272), to turn the M919 TMO into a i9505 Nexus. For me it is a massive improvement as I just cannot stand bloatware. It also free up much memory, and battery lasts longer.

The 9505 and 9500 will not get you LTE nor H+ on T-Mobile.
They will ONLY *possibly* get you 4G on AT&T.
The AT&T S4 is locked, yes. Your best bet is the T-Mobile S4.
You can flash 9505 ROMs on the T-Mobile version as well as some other ones.

Additionally, the development for the T-Mobile s4 is outstanding.

I hear the Verizon S4 has a SIM card. Aren't SIM cards for GSM phones?

Hi,
I m also freq noob and as much as I have searched the forum I cannot find the answer...I have SGH-M919 TMO and I am using it in Serbia but have network problems: receiving missed call TXT msg from operator, dropping out of network and difficulty in reconnecting to home network (need restarting).
Since TMO version supports all bands what can be the problem that phone is acting like that?
It works fine when i m on the network...we dont have LTE here nor will we for some time...
Please some help/direction to the thread dealing with this kind of problem...
Thanks

I had a stock unlocked att s4 on T-Mobile getting LTE without any mods.

I highly doubt it will work with ATT LTE, the radio is missing LTE band 4 or 17.

I am using the SM-T325 on AT&T. I upgraded from the Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5100, and I simply swapped out the SIM card. I can confirm the tablet is able to send/receive voice calls, but so far it looks like I've only been able to achieve HSPA+ mobile data rates. The stock ROM allows you to select LTE/WCDMA/GSM network mode by default, but the status bar only shows the "H+" indicator. Using OOKLA speed test, I've been able to achieve around 9Mbps down, which is the same as my iPhone 5 and HTC One with LTE. Maybe it is a coverage issue?
I've rooted the tablet, and my apps are able to access the SD card using SDFix. However, I have not been able to successfully install a custom recovery like TWRP 2.7.0.1. I don't know if the radio can support faster mobile data rates, but so far the download speed has been similar to my Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5100, iPhone 5 and HTC One, which is good enough for me. On the other hand, the display quality and battery life are superior to the GT-N5100, so I am very happy with the SM-T325.

There will not be a software reason that your speeds are limited. I would expect coverage might be an issue because I expect the HTC One to have higher speeds than that. I don't believe LTE is possible on ATT or T-Mobile though.

Yeah you won't get LTE on that tablet in the US. The International SM-T325, just like all other international unlocked Samsung LTE devices, specifically locks out US LTE bands. Samsung most likely does this on purpose because they don't want people importing them to the US and taking business away from their carrier partners. It's probably the same reason why they don't directly sell unlocked devices direct to US consumers like, for instance, HTC does. So, yeah, if you use one of those on any US carrier, the most you're ever going to see is HSPA+, unfortunately. When it comes to Samsung devices and LTE in the US, you either buy it from a carrier, or GTFO.
On that note, I really wish AT&T would launch the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 already. I want that tablet really bad, but refuse to buy a WiFi-only version

I hate AT&T and their lousy selection of Android tablets and even worse updates. I bought the Note 8.0 LTE and am still stuck on 4.1. Here's an idea. I bought a used TMobile Note 10.1 2014 LTE and unlocked it to run on AT&T. Now to sell the Note 8.0! I do miss the form factor, though.

Yeah I don't know what the hell happened with the Note 8.0 on AT&T. That 4.1.2 ROM still has that annoying freeze problem that Samsung fixed in the 4.2.2 update. Some variants of that tablet are getting KitKat now so hopefully AT&T and Samsung will actually roll this one out to the I467 since they skipped 4.2.2.

zombie thread, I know. Running our t325 on T-MO. I haven't heard of any dev coming up with a radio that'll enable speeds above hspa+. That's strange to me, because even back in the day of the Note 1 (original note ... not even called '1' ... because that's all there was) - there were dev's that managed to upgrade our international model to U.S. 4glte . . . . and when the note came out, lte was hardly even in its infancy stage. IIRC, at that time, T-MO only had one model that was 4g ... some little htc model with a slide keyboard. Maybe the international tab pro 8" is getting less attention because of KNOX ??? or because it's simply not as popular as other devices?

[Q] Is there difference between N5120 & SGH-i467M

Just bought a used Note 8 with LTE. I thought that was a N5120, but in the ABOUT section it calls it an SGH-i467M.
What do I have?
Thank you

Goto: Settings -> About device -> Model number, and it will answer your question .
As far as I know the only difference between GT-N5120 and SGH-i467M is that SGH-i467M is the model number used by AT&T in the USA and Roger's in Canada. But take that with a grain of salt -- I'm a GT-N5110 (Wi-Fi) owner.

Thanks Spidey01. I hear conflicting things, some say I will brick it if I use the 5120 ROM (4.2.2) and some like you say it's a name. Not ready to take a chance yet.

You might be able to ask your national branch of Samsung support but I'm honestly not sure they would know the difference. Their websites not very clear as far as I know. Here in the USA, it's classified as the SGH-I467ZWAATT for the LTE model and AT&T only.
They offer the Note 10.1 2014 on 2 out of 4 major carriers (T-Mobile, VZW) and the Note Pro 12.2 on 2 out of 4 major carriers (AT&T, VZW).
When I bought my Note 8, I went with the Wi-Fi only GT-N5110 because the 3G based GT-N5100 cost an too much via Amazon, darn imports.

hmmm for a moment I had to look that 5120 model up. I see that it is the 3G, 4G/LTE, Wifi version. I only have the 5110 Wifi version.
Anyway, according to Samsung you have the AT&T US version.

Yup. It's a basterdized version of the 5120. There is no microphone, can't use any voice programs. They didn't want people using it to make phone calls. You wonder why I hate Rogers.
But I've also heard that if you try to put a 5120 ROM on, even if you use the Rogers LTE radio, you will brick it. Pretty sad. And they won't update it from the original 4.1.2.

No Microphone! hmm Well I guess I can cross out that model off my list. In another thread I mentioned that I plan on selling my wifi version and get the AT&T version and use it on T-Mobile but if there is no microphone than like you said, you can't make calls.
Guess I will have to get either the more expensive international version GT-N5100 or GT-N5120.

Just a point of clarification, there are several differences between the N5100 and i467 that make it unsuitable as a primary phone. Besides the lack of a microphone, there's no ear speaker. Most importantly, there is no phone app, and nobody has been able to develop one that works reliably (there's a thread dedicated to this topic). So calls on an i467 would be VoIP.
Lastly, the N5120 is not well suited for the US, it has different frequency bands than the N5100. If you're using AT&T's or T-Mobile's network, get the i467 or the N5100, there is no advantage to getting the N5120.

How would you make VoIP calls with no microphone?

I don't have the i467, but I assume calls can be made using a headset. Prior to the N5100, I had a Tab 7.7 and made calls via VoIP using the speakerphone or bluetooth headset.

Use an external microphone, i.e. 3.5mm or Bluetooth headset.

I467 has a mic

There is a mic in the AT&T SGH-I467 Note 8. Just that it has no radio for voice communication. I use Skype to make phone call voice over ip. I should wish AT&T is not all the users of this model. They have consistently delay the release of any Android updates since 4.1.2

Doncha love the info peeps put out about the I467 model. Makes me wonder who to trust on these threads.
I have an AT&T model right now in the UK doing very well mind you... VOIP works using Text Plus.
Just have to sort out blasted SIM cards. As Britain does not play well with Belgium and Belgium does not play well with Holland. Like You need a SIM for every country in Europe. Bloody hell!!!!

The AT&T SGH-I467 has a microphone and places VoIP calls superbly. I use it all the time. Please people. Do some research before presenting information that is not correct (i'm not saying your post was incorrect harry_fine). Incorrect info (models, specs, so forth) pollutes the threads and adds confusion to some already confusing topics for new users. -smiles-

Comparison
The following page may serve as a comparison between GT-N5100 and SGH-i467:
phonemore.com/compare/phones/samsung-galaxy-note-80-gt-n5100-16gb-vs-samsung-galaxy-note-80-4g-sgh-i467-16gb/814727
However it concludes that i467 is better than N5100 as the former is 4G LTE supported while the latter is 3G only. Dont know how much credibility in that.

If there is no microphone, how does the camera record with sound? Look directly above the power button, you will find the microphone (at least on the I467)

I know this is an old thread, but since no one has responded to my new thread, I will ask my question here.
I have an I467 (yes, it has a mic, but NO phone app. You use VOIP instead) that needs an LCD/digitizer replacement.
The price of this assembly is quite high if it is advertised specifically for I467. I guess they are the Samsung OEM part.
The LCD/digitzer for N5100 or N5110 are cheaper. However, will they work on I467? Many sellers on eBay claim their LCD/digitizer will work for *BOTH* N5110 and I467 because they think I467 is Wi-Fi only too just like N5110. This is obviously a mistake. I467 is 4G LTE. I have it working in my hand!
However, since LCD/digitizer is not a function related to radio, just because N5100 is 3G, it doesn't mean its LCD would work on I467. Likewise just because N5110 is Wi-Fi only, it doesn't mean the display won't work on I467. I see it more like a mechanical fitting issue. Does anyone know for sure?
Lastly, does N5120 have the exact same hardware as I467 but differ only in software (e.g it has been programmed with different frequency bands)?
p.s. unrelated subject but a hard learned lesson to share. I467 (AT&T) has a locked bootloader. My understanding is I467M (note the ending -M) is the Canadian version, which is not locked, but I am not sure. Now this bootloader is so restricted that even if you download a STOCK ROM specifically for I467 (AT&T) posted online, it can still brick the phone! It happened to my first I467. I got a message saying software not authorized by AT&T has been detected, but it was an I467 *STOCK* ROM! Obviously AT&T has several different I467 ROMs, and those online resources do NOT have all revisions. Unless you put the same revision that you get from OTA or Samsung Kies, the bootloader would still reject it.

SGH-I467 is the AT&T version. SGH-I467M (note the ending M) is the Canadian version. Many people are mixing these two, but the difference can get you!
The AT&T version has the bootloader locked, but the Canadian version is UNLOCKED.
It is very easy to root SGH-I467M but much harder with an SGH-I467!
With a locked bootloader, I had to try many different tools and finally was able to root with Kingo Root (not Kingroot).
GT-5120 has an earpiece and proximity sensor. SGH-I467 does NOT. I don't know if SGH-I467M has these 2 hardware since mine is SGH-I467.
Although all 3 are LTE, since GT-5120 is an international version, it wouldn't have the same frequency bands as SGH-I467 or SGH-I467M.

Goto: Settings -> About device -> Model number, and it will answer your question .
As far as I know the only difference between GT-N5120 and SGH-i467M is that SGH-i467M is the model number used by AT&T in the USA and Roger's in Canada. But take that with a grain of salt -- I'm a GT-N5110 (Wi-Fi) owner.

SGH-I467 is AT&T (no ending M), but SGH-I467M is made for the Canadian carriers.
Though they are almost identical, they do have one vital difference. SGH-I467 has the bootloader LOCKED while SGH-I467M does NOT.

Since both SGH-I467M and GT-N5120 have unlocked bootloader, I was thinking about buying a GT-N5120 motherboard and swapping it into my SGH-I467. I wasn't planning on buying a SGH-I467M motherboard because I couldn't find them. Though GT-N5120 has international frequency bands not available in the U.S., with an unlocked bootloader, I thought I could just swap in my carrier's, T-Mobile, modem code.
Now I don't think it is doable at all. I have a Canadian Galaxy S4, SGH-I337M (bootloader unlocked, unlike the AT&T version). I tried to download T-Mobile's modem to my S4 thinking it may give me better data rate. Odin prompted Fail! (Auth) and S4 showed Secure Check Fail! After some googling, I realize regardless of unlocked bootloader, these phones/tablets are engineered to check if authorized modem codes are being flashed. I know for sure my S4's bootloader is unlocked because I have installed TWRP for recovery.
Since GT-N5120 has international frequency bands, turning it into a North American tablet is DOA if another carrier's modem code cannot be installed. If anyone questions why a custom ROM can be flashed to a phone/tablet with unlocked bootloader, it is because a custom ROM seldom comes with the modem code!
