Hey all, been lurking for a while and found that many of you have unlocked Note 2's running on AT&T. I bought my unlock code and all is well on the voice front, I just can't seem to get data working (not edge, not 3G, not HSPA+, nothing). I've tried the various APN's floating around, I've tried selecting CDMA ALL for the frequency band, and I've selected AT&T and "registered on the network" using the automated feature of the phone itself. Still nothing.
When the AT&T version is released, will I be able to flash the ROM and make it work as if I bought it from them?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thats weird. I unlocked mine and got tge cingular apn automatically .

Do you have the right sim and have you got at&t to update their system so it can work? Tell them you have a Note 1.
That's what Indie. I have data (but not LTE)

This is the answer I needed. Thank you! I ended up going to the AT&T store today. They said that for some reason I didn't have a data plan anymore (weird because I traded my iPhone 5 for this phone! They subsidized it.) They couldn't get my IMEI to work in their system so the saleswoman used her own IMEI to get me going.
I had been to the AT&T Store once before to trade my nanosim for a microsim, but the phone wasn't unlocked at the time so I couldn't test it out. They scanned in my phone but I guess it didn't take. All is well now, I have 4G (but not LTE, but it doesn't matter because I'm moving to a non-LTE city in less than a month).
It works perfectly, I put in the APNs from the Galaxy S3 on display that the AT&T Store. Decent speeds, awesome phone. Thanks everyone!

That's what I get. And honestly, 3-6Mb/s is perfectly fine for me. I'd like to get LTE for the time I'm here but it doesn't bother me that I don't. At some point one has to question that value of 100Mb internet on a 3GB data plan.
LTE is locked as of right now on the tmobile GN2

I know it isn't AT&T but it took a while to get Solavei APN working on my phone. I played with the settings forever with a customer service rep before I finally got it to work. MMS & internet work great now! Can't wait for LTE to launch!
i got my tmo verion unlocked. I purchased a 50/mo at&t go prepaid, and I can see 4G in the status bar.
Hope this helps

I know the ZL (6506) is capable of working with T-Mobile's new LTE network, but my question concerns the IMEI number and your account with T-Mobile. On AT&T, your account has to have an IMEI number that is known and recognized by AT&T so as to enable LTE connectivity. Is this also the case with T-Mobile??

The info or where you got your info is incorrect. you DONT have to have a IMEI number that is known to AT&T to have LTE. I have changed phones prob 20 times since I got my first LTE phone and NEVER had to change it again.
You can be on the LTE data plan and everything work fine on a old dumb edge phone then put the sim card back in an LTE device and it still work fine...
LTE worked fine on a Canda Note 2 and One X
Same here. TMo does not care. I just started using my ZL teo days ago, before that was Nexus 4. Just took the SIM from the N4 and inserted in the ZL. All works!

Hey people, I'm seriously considering picking up a Sony Xperia ZL C6502 Black. I'm aware that it doesnt support LTE on either network, but the price is insanely lowwww! My question is, does anyone know what kind of speeds I can expect to see on TMO and ATT respectively? I'm currently using an ATT Gnote 2 on ST/ATT and I have a Nexus 4 as a backup which I use on the TMO $30/"unlimited" data plan. I only point this out to indicate that I don't get LTE speeds now, which sorta makes it a "You can't miss what you never had" type of deal. I roughly get about 14-17mbs down on either device. Is there any chance I'd enjoy the same with the 6502 on either of these plans??? Any help/insight or even opinions, would be greatly appreciated.
The speeds to expect will be the same as you have now.......

i just received my ZL C6502 today and noticed that the data connection does not work at all. i followed the APN settings on the t-mobile link you gave and still no dice (it does show full bars and H+ as you mentioned and when i switch the SIM to my old G2X its on full HSPA+ speed). i left the house and it was running ok suddenly and streamed netflix, etc. but when i went home it lost the connection again. I'm suspecting that this phone does not really work on t-mo's 1700 AWS even though the box says so and that i only got online outside the house because that area is on the 1900mhz refarm. is there any difference to t-mo's AWS 1700 and regular HSPA 1700mhz?! any insight or help is appreciated!!
I have a 6506 on TMo so I am limited in help. However, someone in my office has a 6502 on TMo and it is working fine. He had trouble until he manually set it. Same case as mine.
Perhaps you have a defective unit? Try removing and reinserting the SIM card. Perhaps a factory reset.
I had mine for almost a month and has been flawless in LTE when in DC and HSPA in Dallas.
Sendt fra min ZL 6506
The 6502 is the same as 6506 but without lte it should work I don't have 1900 coverage and I'm always on hspa and there's no lte were I'm at either. U need to make sure the apn is set exactly there should not be any values under proxy and port also under apn type have it blank that was the issue with mine those three things had values and was messing up internet. Also there's three different apn you have use. 1. Fast.tmobile.com (Lte), 2. Epc.tmobile.com, 3. Internet2.voicestream.com. Give it a try.
Sent from my C6506 using xda app-developers app
thanks for the help guys. ive gathered all that info earlier and did try the three APNs different combinations / proxy - no proxy, etc to no avail. i'm leaning on faulty hardware or messed up radio. i'll just sleep over it but so far its been disappointing :crying: great phone though...
As a quick update I did literally sleep over it and I'm happily up and running with hspa.. I literally left the phone alone overnight lol. Rooted the fone and all I need is to figure out how to get to recovery to put CWM since pressing vol up at boot is not working and flashboot isnt going either (that's for another post). Moody bastard this ZL is.. Anyway Thanks again!

I have a 6506 on TMo without any issues. I live in LA without TMo LTE, but speeds have been as high as 18Mbps in West LA. I only have the issues of bad coverage at my house, but that's just TMo and not the phone.

That's the thing you had an LTE phone AT&T had in their system when your account was provisioned for LTE so you never had a problem after that. For those people that have the ZL as their first LTE phone on AT&T they will have to first get the account setup for LTE using a phone AT&T recognizes on their network.
So basically put the SIM in an AT&T LTE phone, have AT&T provision it for LTE then once that's done you can put it in any other LTE phone and it will work fine

I have a completely stock galaxy s4. I never get LTE though. My girlfriends s4 gets it just fine and in the same exact location I still only have hsps+. What's the deal? I have the settings configured correctly and everything. There's zones where my phone just drops all data, before it reconnects. My first s4 had this problem, so I got it replaced at T-Mobile, and it still has the same problem. Customer service says everything on their end is working fine. I even had them boot my phone off the network and Put my phone back on and still. What's going on? Faulty LTE radio?
Could be a faulty micro sim card as well.

That's right. Although, when I try to edit the APN everything is greyed out. It doesn't let me edit anything. Probably a safety feature so people don't ruin the stock APN. But yes, its the correct apn

Not to hijack the OP's thread...but should users be modifying the APN or is that pushed from tmo automatically? I'm sitting on epc.tmobile.com, and getting LTE (LTE:14, guessing 13/14 is the band?) Is it worth manually modifying the APN?

So I tried my gfs sim and LTE worked. So its not the phone. Called tmobile tech and they said everything was good on their end. I got my sim card replaced again. A ttmoile worker said it could just be my line. That shell have to close my line and start a new one. For feee of course
OK i have tried to find the answer to this question i have a S4 M919V ( Videotron/Wind) on 4.4.2 (M919VVLUFNB5) And I'm currently with virgin mobile (Bell) i have evething set up to receive LTE on the phone. the sim card is LTE ready but i have no way of getting the phone to receive it.
I've tried to go into setting ( phone dial *#2263#) of that but nothing worked.
I don't mind rooting my phone but would love to get LTE without having to sell my phone and buying another one

have you tried the settings here?
Settings/More networks/mobile networks
Your Network mode should show LTE,WCDMA (auto connect)
if not, tap on the network mode and select the LTE/WCDMA (auto connect) option and back all the way out.
Turn on airplane mode for about 30 seconds and then turn it back off and see what your results are.
You need to be SURE that LTE reception is possible where you are trying this. After all, no matter how good your hearing is, you won't hear me talking if you're out of earshot, right? LOL
Good luck!
Yeah I've tried it and for some reason I don't have this option but your right about checking if the lte is available before doing anything

Thats strange, this issue has been encountered with rooted phones running stock/custom roms while running some mods.
You may have to do a factory reset, or stop by a TMOBILE store and let them check it out.

Could be that it doesn't support LTE from your carrier.. I think it may be capable to support LTE but its disabled on that model.. I've seen people flash M919 modems and gotten LTE to work. Just make sure you do some research, and more research if you device to do this

I've been rooting my phone as if it was a normal t-mobile m919 but I tried searching for into to see it there was a way to simply make my V (m919V) disappear and solve all my problems but nothing yet I know you can but as far as warranty, brick and risks go I have not found much information regarding this issue and that why I started this post
I wanted to say thank you to everyone for your help and suggestions
OK I've done some research and it seem that the m919v has the lte hardware to run the frequency 700
( http://www.morecellphone.com/compar...vs-samsung-galaxy-s4-lte-gt-i9505-64gb/340724)
And that virgin mobile (bell's network)
(bell is one of the biggest telecommunications companies in canada)
has this frequency on their network
(http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks)
The only thing is that the lte frequency off 700 was lunched in Ontario last month and I'm in Montreal
But the fact that t-mobile only has 1700 and that virgin uses this here means that the phone isn't the problem and with this information, i've concluded that it a software issue

I bought a Verizon Note 8 which are factory unlocked and simply put my cricket sim inside and changed the APN settings to what the Cricket website recommends. However I'm have issues getting LTE Service and voice quality in general.
Has anyone every encountered this with the new galaxy devices on cricket? Should I look to flash the unlocked or ATT firmware to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Will a Verizon Note 8 work if you put a SIM card from cricket in?
I used a Verizon s8 plus on at&t for months. Flashed the unlocked firmware and had zero problems
I realize this is an old thread, but I also have a VZW Note8 being used on the Cricket network. I flashed the U1 firmware, which workds great, but calls are handled over H+, data over LTE. Cricket/AT&T is sunsetting their 3G network beginning 2020, so this will cause issues with my calls. Does anyone know, is there a firmware I can flash to enable VoLTE over the Cricket network?
Verizon Note 8 running on Cricket
Cricket wireless ran smoothly and fast, but I don't like Verizon bloatware. Flashed it with a SM-N950U1 bloatware free and reinstalled Cricket sim card and no problems, but one a cracked screen that still works.:good:
Yup it works
only problem is update to pie made free wifi tethering go away. Haven't figured out how to get it back yet. My LTE and voice work fine, also my APN settings happened automatically. Maybe delete the APN you created and let it do what it does. I'm so not an expert, but mine works fine.

I had Verizon Nougat on my Note8 originally... Using it on Cricket. I switched it to the unlocked carrier Oreo ROM several months ago. Wifi tethering worked.
