Hey guys. So I traded my iphone 5 for a galaxy note 2 today. My iphone 5 was att and I thought the guy's Note was too but it turned out to be T Mobile (its was already rooted too). I couldnt walk away and traded anyway. Got the phone unlocked from Cell Unlocker and I went by ATT to get a new sim since the iphone took nano sims and the Note took micro. Activated it over the phone etc. I began getting texts as soon as I reset it but no 4G/3G icon & no data.Changed APNs to the wap.cingular one & the PTA one neither worked even after several resets between each. I flashed a new rom too still no avail. Only thing I can think is ATT messed something up (calling tommoro) or I need some type of modem/radio to flash. Suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

Be very careful flashing a different modem, it seems some people have problems doing that. Others say no issues. You shouldn't need a new modem though.
I bought my note 2 from T-Mobile and immediately unlocked it with cellunlocker.net, slipped my AT&T Sim card into the phone and got service. I'm back on T-Mobile now, but I think I did have to mess with the APN settings to get proper data. There are a couple of different APN settings floating around, so try a few of them before giving up. There might even be an app in the play store that lets you pick and choose. Good luck!
By the way, why couldn't you just walk away from the deal?

Alright I'll look for that app in the playstore. If nothing works then I'll give AT&T a call again. And I couldn't walk away because it is such a great device, not many people are willing to trade for an iPhone 5 and I was just thinking how long it might be till another deal like this came around. Thanks for the help
Hello All,
I am having an issue where I am unable to get any data on my Unlocked TMobile Samsung Note II. I am currently using a ATT One X+ and get full bars of LTE service in my area, while I understand I will not be able to get LTE service on the device, I cannot get any data. The default APN on the phone was Cingular 410, I've also attempted to create a new APN mirroring the exact settings on my HTC One X+. I've reflashed the stock OS and bootloader and issue persists.
I've done some searching and found one similar issue, I am currently using a NANO LTE slim from my ATT iPhone 5 with a nano to micro converter. The post I found said the user had some issue doing this as well and went to ATT for a LTE Micro SIM and his issue was solved. I'm not sure how this would make a difference since the Nano to Micro works just fine in my ATT One X+.
I was under the impression from what I read online I would just need to pop in my ATT LTE sim into the Unlocked TMobile Note II and be on my way with any data lower than LTE. I have also verified I am successfully able to make calls with the ATT sim inserted into the Unlocked TMobile Note II
Any insight would be beneficial? Thanks!
Did you change the apn?

Turns out I thing I got scammed, thanks craigslist. I think the modem is blown out on this phone, My phone will not even register a SIM is inserted in it anymore, even when using a TMobile SIM.
Is there anything I can do, go to TMobile or reach out to Samsung for support?

Would you mind sharing what happened and what's wrong with the modem? When you bought the phone, didn't you put your sim in and test it?

"Here is what i had... i lost my note and got a replacement.. then i found my note in my girls car.. no service i insert my sim no service my imei was blacklisted. so i googled ways to change my imei. no dice the terminal emulator way didnt work. i said i got a paper weight and i can **** with it so i did.. got in the service mode *#197328640# and toyed with everything in there.. lost all the network setting and signal and in the
umts /debugmode /common/ rebuild nv it said it will delete my efs part. so i did haha lost my imei bootloader serial number and everything that makes my note a phone. a few days later i was at it again but this time i was going to fix it hoorah! so read and read bout efs part and googled some more and more.. and found this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
what i did was backed up my new notes efs/ nv files and used them in my other note.. now i have 2 notes with same serial number and imei i gave one to my wife and both are working like new.. but having 2 phones on same family plan with same ime/sderial numberi just wont cut it. so i decided to change the imei and foud this....

Friday I bought an unlocked Att galaxy note 2 from craigslist. I took it hope and ported my att straight talk number from the normal sd card to the Att mini sd. I waited until my number ported, put my card into the phone. I turned on my phone and had 4g serivce all day. Next morning I had nothing. I would flux between 4g, edge and nothing. As of today, i don't get 4g at all. I'm lucky to hit 1 bar of edge. Now when I don't have serive, I get nearly full bars of emergency calling. I tried the tmobile sim from straight talk and my fiancee's tmobile pay as you go card. Same deal. I tried every apn setting I could dig up. I also checked to see that the IMEI wasn't blocked. Any help would be nice. this is would be one heck of an expensive 5" tablet considering I have a nexus 7.
Custom ROM, unlocked? You ordered the micro SIM from straight talk? Have you tried an att SIM card? you said you got the same thing from your GF's t-mobile SIM, could it be that straight talk registered your SIM with only t-mobile towers?

They person said they unlocked throug att. It was unrooted w/ stock rom. Ordered, no but my micro sd was from a kit I bought when I started straight talk. It was the att straight talk micro sim. It didn't come with a micro tmobile sim so I had my normal sim cut. I tried both of those and my gf's tmobile sim. All three had the same results. I'd get service for maybe an hour then it mostly stay in emergency. I unlocked the aws bands and I got service for a bit but then back to not able to find. Under network operators it can usually only find ATT. I rooted and flashed a stock tmobile rom (read it might help) and nothing. I did notice that sometimes when I restart the phone it will say Att, like its trying to connect. I'm starting to think that the people I got it from maybe didn't unlock the phone. It seems to want to connect only to att but I'm not getting any kind of message saying my sim is invalid or anything. I checked the IMEI number and it says it's not blacklisted.

Ok if your placing a different carrier SIM in your phone, and your not getting any kind of SIM pop up! Then the phone should b unlocked!! As far as the signal not sticking might just ba modem thing. So if you haven't tried changing the radio/modem then that would b your next option. One other thing is to check your APN setting also! That may also help you out. I made a list if you need them!

Nope, never got any kind of sim pop up other than the one at start up that says prepairing.
The modem/radio thing, is that when you hit *#7284# and change it to the second one from the bottom? Or is it more of something I need to download and flash? Like I said, I did the aws enable thing.
More detail on my signal change is, I'll be at 4g after a factory reset. I'll get 4g with near full bars. After a short time it will either drop to edge with maybe 1-2 bars or just get emergency signal. Mostly it sits on emergency. I've only seen it try to connect to att with a tmobile sim a few times last night while working on it. I was questioning the antenna being broken but I usually get near full bars of emerency.

#1 you do have a TMO GN2 right?
#2 are you still on stock Rom?
#3 the*#7284 menu, don't know who told you to go in there but that's not how you change your modem at ALL!!
You flash your new modem in recovery as you do any other zip file!
#4 did you try changing your APN setting, or setting up a new 1??
I'm my buddies TMO GN2. He has a TMO modem, with att apn setting.
So if it's an actual TMO GN2 then add I said b4, your ok flashing a TMO modem/radio. Whatever you want to call it!!!
Do me a favor take a screen shot of your about phone. And I'll b able to c what you have!

I'll get screen shots when I get home from work. I don't the phone with me.
1. I have an Att unlocked GN2
2. I'm on stock rom, but I'm rooted with CWM recovery.
3. I unlocked the aws settings to open up the tmobile abilites this phone as built in (according to the instuctions and such from galaxynote2root.com). That answer is also why i dialed the funky *# number.
4. I did not try the settings from your link. My GF has the phone during the day since she doesnt need to have solid service. Thats why I'm using her tmobile account. eventually I'll be popping in my straight talk sim if I can get this to be something more than an expensive 5" tablet.
Here are the some screen shots from my status menu. I hope I blocked all the stuff that I needed too.

I guess I can check again. I've check a couple times. Its just wierd that when I flash a rom or factory reset or sometimes it only takes a restart but I'll get like 5-13 m/bs downloads on 4g for anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. Then It will just pass between edge and emergency. I wish I had a true att card to test it on to see if it works for them. I'm going to try my new att straight talk sim tonight and if that doesn't, I think I'm done messing with it. Just going to sell it as is and pick up a nexus 4 or GSIII.

Hopefully it works and it doesn't end up blocked cause thats some messed up people that do that I bought my first note 2 on Craigslist and it had a screen protector on it after I got home took it off some many scratches on it . Guy said it was brand new . He also changed his number when i tried calling him . My brother also got scammed with a blocked imei I dont understand how people do that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Yeah. This guy has remained n contact and stuff. It was sold as "like new" but there were a few scratches on it. Good thing is zagg covered them up. Bad thing is, I spent $45 on a nice case and zagg for a phone that I can't seem to use. I did find someone at my work willing to pop their att sim in tomorrow and see how that goes. This is the nicest phone I've used. I like pretty much everything about it. It's a big upgrade from my google nexus.

I understand what you mean! But there are those type of people out there always trying to get over. Or make a quick buck$!! Which is SAD. Guess that's why I always buy my phones from the AT&T Store. Never any problems!
Side note: Always over inspect something your buying from someone online!!! Especially electronics...

Ok that's good your going to check it with a actual AT&T SIM. Cause then you'll know if it's the phone or the other SIM card you have?? If it still acts up with the AT&T SIM. Then it's the phone!!:banghead:
I've also read that the SIM tray could b messed up, possibly?
Some owners had reported there's being damaged!!
QUESTION?? I went back thru the post and noticed you said you had, a micro sim kit? Is it something to make a micro out of a regular SIM? If that's the case then I hope that's not causing your problems. Or even started them!
Well let me know what happens when you try out the AT&T SIM card!
One other thing you can try is to put the stock firmware back on the phone and see if that restores everything back to normal for you. Just a taught... because maybe,, that guy had flashed a Rom on there. But just put back what he taught was a stock Rom. Like one of the stock releases from here..

I bought a straightalk kit from walmart. It comes with a 1 month card for service and 3 sims. 1 normal att st sim, 1 micro att sim and 1 normal tmobile st sim. The problem is once you activate an att card and then switch to another one, that card is dead. Att is trying to get out of st.
I did root at one point but then return it to stock after. I recently rooted and flashed again to try out a tmobile rom.
This is a lesson for me. I didn't know about IMEI on a phone so I didn't know it was easy to screw someone. I paid 350 for the phone. I guess that was too good to be true. As much as I like this phone, I think I should have just bought the nexus 4.

Ok so you think the imie# blocked, messed up some how?? Just as Brazil said is the unblocked or unblocked on AT&T??
And yes I know AT&T is trying to get away from ST! But shouldn't be problem for you to use ST from TMO or AT&T. Which they both share.. FYI

Reason I thought it was blocked was because my brother got scammed with a blocked imei and he would put the sim in it will work then signal will just drop then he will restart it and it work then always keep droping.

That is kind of what is happening to me. I have done several IMEI checkers and they all come back valid. I just checked again and it's still marked as valid. I'm porting my st number from regular sim to micro now. Its been about 2 hours so hopefully it activates soon. I'm hoping it works.
Just bought this phone... the power button doesn't work but that's another issue. The IMEI is fine, and the guy said the phone was unlocked. It is on 4.2.2 CM10... When I put in my T-mobile sim card, it does say there is a SIM but it refuses to register on any network. The SIM is fine (works on my other phone) so it is not a defective SIM. I have set the APN to epc.tmobile.com and everything, but when I go to mobile networks and try automatic registration, it attempts to register for a few minutes then says that the SIM won't allow me to register.
Like I said I checked and the IMEI is clean, phone not stolen... Any ideas?

i have the same problem, except im in canada
Bump because I'm still having trouble. I restored to a 4.1.2 odexed/zipaligned Stock ROM and I'm still having trouble. I see a circle with a line through it in the status bar but that's the only indication of anything. Pulling down status bar doesn't show me anything and playing with mobile network settings doesnt even seem to be be giving me any error messages. SIM still works fine in my other phone and the note 2 is still clean imei...

Welp... The bad news is that my power button is broken, meaning I can't turn on the phone (pulled battery and no way to get it past the "charing" screen) until I have fixed that.
The good news is... there is no good news...
So yeah, I guess I need to order the replacement part (it looks quite simple to fix, no ungluing/gluing required) so I will repair it myself then get on this next matter (SIM card not working)

Yeah, I figure as much... I figured I was getting a deal at $240 since a power button would cost about $10 to replace, but now it's a whole nother issue....
Popped the phone open and the power button is unbelieveably easy to replace. Like the easiest fix I have ever seen in my life.
So I ordered the part ($4 shipped, should be here by friday) and will be able to fix that.
I figure if nothing else I can sell it as AT&T phone and just buy a T-Mobile one.
Lol..

It is an AT&T Galaxy Note 2, I'm trying to use T-Mobile on it. I didn't flash any modems.

Are you planning to use T-Mobile's UMTS network or AWS network?
To use AWS band you need to follow this thread.

I see. But I figure even without flashing that I should at least get 2g/Edge, right? I wasnt even getting that
I've been swapping my sim into a few new devices lately and put it back in the Note 2 earlier. It's seeing the network but won't connect to it. The sim works in the other devices so it must be a problem with this phone. I removed it a few times, toggled airplane mode, and restarted it. Nothing! Any ideas?
"Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network" and "unable to connect, try later" pop up when I try to select my network.
Which carrier's SIM are you using? Which device are you on (SGH-T889, SGH-I317 etc). If not a T889 on Tmo, what method did you use to unlock it?
How long have you had the device? Did you get it new from Tmo/retailer? If not, have you checked the IMEI via the Tmo website?

889 on T-Mobile, still locked, bought on swappa about six months ago.
I found out the problem yesterday; apparently the phone has been blocked! Off to send the swappa folks an email...

We hear about that quite a bit. The world is rife with slimy people.

Thankfully, the guy I brought it from was able to clear it. Apparently he had purchased it from someone else!
