[Q] AT&T Galaxy Note 2 on T-Mobile full speed data?

I've looked around on the forum and elsewhere on the internet and found mixed/conflicting information with respect to getting better than Edge speeds on an AT&T Note 2 on T-Mobile's network. AT&T's Note 2 appears to support the frequencies for T-Mobile's network (e.g., 1700MHz according to http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-GALAXY-Note-II-AT-T_id7500). I'm guessing that it's not as simple as flashing a new modem. Does anyone know if it is possible to get an AT&T Note 2 running on T-Mobile's network at higher data speeds than Edge? I'm SIM unlocked and rooted, but haven't tried flashing a radio or modem yet.
I've seen some reports suggesting that it won't work, that there is no way to make the AT&T Note 2 work on T-Mobile's HSPA+ network (hardware limitations). I'd like to find out if that's true so I know if I should return my AT&T Note 2 and exchange it for a T-Mobile model. Wish the carriers wouldn't make this stuff so damned complicated.
*Edit* Saw on another forum that somebody suggested changing the APN settings. I might give that a try, but seeing as the AT&T modem is using 1700MHz for a different radio tech (LTE), I'm not sure it would be able to reconfigure it for HSPA+. If someone knows for sure, it'd be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Update: Spoke with a T-Mobile rep at length. The rep stated that the AT&T Note 2 radio *should* be compatible with T-Mobile's 3G/4G services. However, we were unable to get it to work. Perhaps the biggest obstacle is that there is no "Network mode" menu option within Settings->Mobile networks. Thus there appears to be no way to directly set the network operating more (e.g., GSM, HSPA+, LTE...).
Planning to speak with tech support for a while to try to get more info.

And the conclusion to this: Unless one is inclined to flash a new ROM for it (which isn't a bad option), then it doesn't appear that the AT&T Galaxy Note 2 is easily used with full data throughput on T-Mobile's 3G/4G service. It may be as simple as flashing a T-Mobile ROM onto it. I haven't found enough information on the hardware in both versions, but what I've read here on XDA leads me to believe they're identical, in which case ROM flashing should be simple. On the other hand, if there was a difference in the radio, then it should be necessary to adjust for that by flashing the appropriate modem (also available here on XDA).
At the moment, it appears possible, just not trivial. Because I'm currently carrier-agnostic (e.g., T-Mobile, StraightTalk:AT&T/T-Mobile) I will probably just exchange my AT&T version for the T-Mobile version, which has superior software.

Were you able t o find any solution? or did you just get the tmobile version of the note 2? Also, is the t-mobile version superior to the AT&T version? I read somewhere that the tmobile version can not do 4G LTE and is not future proofed. or is it better to unlock the tmobile version and use it on at&t if needed?

There is a hidden menu I have a sprint note 2 and all I have to do is ##3282# and enter my msl then go into others and select hdr or somthing / 1x

Hey I got a question I was thinking about buying a bad ESN at&t note 2 and flashing a T-mo ROM and modem. I was just wondering does the phone have to be sim unlocked by att or will t-mo be able to sim unlock it ? Also would I still have to call customer service and activate the phone or can I just pop in my sim card from my existing contract/phone? Never bought a bad ESPN phone before but am very comfortable with flashing radios and roms and modems etc... just wasn't sure about the unlocking.

[Q] AT&T LTE on T889

I searched all over the place and can't find a straight answer. Can you get AT&T LTE on a T-Mobile T889 N2? I saw some threads saying you can't but then posts with in the thread saying you can. What's the deal. I am on AT&T service but switching in about 2 months to T-Mobile. That is why I have the T889. Any help or direction to get AT&T LTE working in the meantime would be great.

It won't be possible because I believe the att lte band is a band 2 and the tmobile band is a band 4
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

There is so much confusion about this, I heard they were using the same bands. I think people are waiting to see when TM finally sends out the update that unlocks it . Since neither have LTE in my area, I'm in no hurry, especially since I do Go phone. If Straight Talk gets LTE on TMobile then I'll worry about it.

so lte cannot be enabled on the t889??????

It can, problem is we don't have a confirmed reversible, and safe procedure. I have a draft guide I've sent a few users via PM, but no one's gotten back to me confirming that it worked on their end.
The procedure is a bit involved and requires ADB, QPST, NV_reader_writer and CWM or TWRP along with a couple of other files.
Here's a rather lengthy post explaining what I did and what happened

Okay yeah everything said here is what i gathered. Seems that it can be done but in my exact instance it may not be worth it as i plan on switching to TMO next month. I still get HSPA+ which is plenty fast enough until then.

I'm not interested in getting LTE working. Currently I have AT&T micro sim and a T-Mobile Note 2, how do I get HSPA+ though? Must I unlock the phone? Also since I'm using AT&T would I flash The T-Mobile Note 2's roms or the AT&T note 2's roms?

[Q] I have a T-Mobile S4 that refuses to select LTE for other carriers

Hey Y'all,
I've seen the other threads and I know that LTE works for AT&T but for the life of me, I cannot get it to select LTE
at all. I've tried the connections-->network mode menu and whenever I select LTE+WCDMA+GSM it always reverts
back to WCDMA+GSM the moment i back out of the menu. Also when using the *#2263# and I try and select it
via that way, I get bars but no data. Can anyone help me shed some light on this?
Is there another way to prioritize LTE? Do i need to flash a new kernel or modem?
Thanks guys!

No I did not. I just did the unlock method that was posted here. So forgive the noob question, but I would have to flash
the AT&T radio to get LTE? Or is this just a troubleshooting method you want me to try? I just thought I wouldn't have
to flash the AT&T radio since it supported the bands Out-the-box.

Technically, you shouldn't have to. It supports 700 MHz LTE out of the box. The T-Mobile S4 is the "best" version because it supports both AT&T and T-Mobile bands out of the box. The AT&T S4 supports AT&T and T-Mobile LTE out of the box, but not T-Mobile HSPA+ (AWS) without a mod.

It's more along the lines of a troubleshooting method. I believe I read another thread exactly like yours and the solution was to flash att radio. Think of it like a regular am/fm radio. All the hardware is there, but without something to control what stations it can play, how's it gonna know what to play?

The network is decided by the SIM card (the entire purpose of GSM). With an AT&T SIM, he should still be able to pick up T-Mobile LTE (AWS LTE is what T-Mobile uses and it's supported in all AT&T devices). My AT&T Note 2 gets T-Mobile LTE, just like my T-Mobile Note 2 does.
Also you can't cross-flash modems because the partition sizes are different; ROMs may be compatible (that's the case with the Note 2) but not the modem. If you flash another device's modem, you'll lose your IMEI (until you flash back the correct one) and your device will bootloop with no signal. From experience.
IGNORE THE GUY TELLING YOU TO FLASH THE AT&T RADIO. YOU'LL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
----------------------------
I just remembered the reason. AT&T won't activate LTE on a non-AT&T phone (on their end on the computer) unless you lie to them and give them the IMEI of an AT&T device. 10000% sure. Fixed this for another guy with a T-Mobile Note 2 trying to use it on AT&T. I have one for you. You go on chat online and tell them you're not getting LTE. They ask you for an IMEI number of an AT&T LTE device (it doesn't have to be your S4's) and then they can activate LTE on their end. I happen to have an IMEI of an in-store HTC One on hand. I'll PM you.

Thanks for all the help guys. I already have the GN-II's imei listed on my account however and with the LTE feature code on my account thanks to my buddy who is a rep at the att store. I'm gonna meet him in a few minutes to get another sim card just to give this another shot before i do an exchange at t-mobile seeing as t-mobile is more anal about doing exchanges unless they can physically verify in store what you're *****ing about.

You dont need to be so rude first of all. Secondly I never told him to do anything, i simply asked if he flashed the radio and told him it was a troubleshooting method. Meaning, research it before you do it. Just like anything else.
Secondly, others have gotten LTE on their T-Mobile devices without talking to ATT. I already stated i was using the top of my head for diagnosing and never did i tell him to do anything. And since i was going off the top of my head, i remember being able to flash ATT radios to the S3 and S2 of T-Mobile. Also, he has a T-MOBILE DEVICE wanting ATT LTE on it, not the other way around as you are thinking.. Any how, we are two very smart people, we need not argue with one another and telling the op to ignore someone. Thats just flat out rude. Especially since i never said "go flash the ATT radio" i simply asked a question.
To the OP,
Have you set up your APN configurations for ATT?

I'm sorry if I came off as rude to you; I was merely trying to tell him to not cross-flash S4 modems as it can brick the device; you have to be careful what you tell people to do if they're coming to you for help. It's not like with the S2. I correctly said he has a T-Mobile device and wants AT&T LTE on it, and as I said before, I've fixed the issue with someone who was in the same situation with a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2. Like I stated, the phone itself is capable of 700 MHz LTE, which is what AT&T uses. You don't have to flash any modems. It should just work. The fix is above in the last paragraph.

Did you try changing APN configurations?

Update: I switched the phone, did the unlock process again and....it still refuses to select LTE. I dunno. At this point I'm at a loss and thinking that it might have something to do with the unlock process itself. I might just do one more exchange and pay for the unlock. Can someone who has AT&T LTE on their S 4 do me a favor and post their APN settings so I can compare just to be absolutely sure it's correct?

I have a T-Mobile s4 that I put my AT&T SIM card in out of my AT&T galaxy note 2 and lte works fine. My issue is, I have random losses of network signal then it just comes back moments later while using the T-Mobile s4 with my AT&T SIM card. I used the unlock method posted in the T-Mobile s4 thread, rooted and flashed the Jedi Rom from the T-Mobile s4 thread. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

I have an ATT Note II running on TMobile. I had to go into a hidden menu to enable the correct radios for TMobiles networks. Seems to work fine with the stock ATT Rom.
However, I switched to Cyanogen, and my service was instantly broken. I'm still not sure exactly what caused this. I'll let you know if I figure anything more out.

I also bought an S4 before I got my note2 it was an ATT variant had to unlock it to use tmobile. Afterwards I had to enable AWS to get 4g even. Might be something to look into. Might be the hidden menu the person above me mentioned, Google enable aws on note2 att version or model number see what you get.

Any att note 2 on tmobile Service will prove to you in a short amount time that its a headache cause the same quality of 4g or Lte signal at any same given time or spot when compared to a actual t889 model is weaker then a t889.
Yes it works but trust me ive used 5 att notes...on tmobile ....the signal drops it goes 4g edge lte edge all the while with a t889 comparing them side by side at same time ...it just has a lot to do with how a tmobile t889 is fine tuned for there frequencys .
Even if u enable the aws bands on att Note 2 its still not as strong as using a carrier branded Note 2
Im sure some who read this will agree and know what I mean.

[Q] T-Mobile M919 To MetroPCS

OK, I have looked and looked at a bunch of threads in this section, and I am either missing something, or I'm just totally blind. I just bought 2 T-Mobile M919 phones, and one of them i am going to Use on T-Mobile, but the other one, on Metro-PCS. I understand that there is 2 different versions of this model, the M919, and The M919N (METROPCS) . I know how to unlock them. (I found those threads) I know how to put Cyanogen on either.. But what i cant seem to find is, How do i take the M919 and use a SIM card from Metro-PCS and make it work. I'm sure i have to use a different Firmware with a different modem. But i am really confused as to where i can find all of this info that i need. I just cant seem to find it. I know that Metro-PCS uses T-Mobile networks, but i am sure there is a different APN for both.... Can some one direct me to a thread or a link or 2 to find this info... Any and all is appreciated.
I also used XDA to (Successfully) use a Samsung SGH-I727 Galaxy S2 (AT&T) W/ Cyanogenmod 11.2 and a different radio on T-Mobile!!
Again any and all help is appreciated!!!

Since day one after I got my s4 from metro I rooted and flashed t-mobile roms and since that is all I use. My Sim card is metro but my apn is t-mobile us lte and never once did I manually change it my self or sim unlock my phone. Hope that helps your ?
