Hey all,
I have a Samsung Note 4 with Verizon (N910-V) but recently moved over to TMobile. I know I can flash a different ROM from the Verizon Android Development thread, but how would I make the phone work better on T-Mobile, is that actually a thing. I am thinking flashing a better Modem, Kernel, and lastly a good ROM.
Does anyone have an information or experience on doing this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I have the ability to purchase a T-Mobile Note 2 right now. The problem is my carrier is AT&T. I'm not interested in getting LTE to work only HSPA+, but will that even work? To do it, would I have to unlock it, how would I do that? Also once it is unlocked and working with AT&T, would I flash AT&T Note 2 ROMs or the T-Mobile Note 2?
Thanks,

Man, how many of these TMobile on ATT posts do there have to be? Search before posting!
Yes it works, I get 8Mbps down on good days, worst I have seen is 2 Mbps. You will have to unlock your phone, SEARCH for the free unlock. I've seen it posted here, in the N7100 forums and S3 forums. You should be able to find easily. For roms, stick with the TMobile roms on a TMobile phone.
If you don't have plans on going to TMobile or LTE, I would suggest the N7100 international version. More rom development, faster firmware leaks and releases. I also got better battery life out of my N7100. I kind of wish I would not have traded my N7100 for the TMobile Note2. The TMobile version is easier to hack if you want to put it on an ATT dumb phone plan.
Hey guys.
I have had some issues with my note 2.
I had an open Samsung model GTN7105T and I swapped it with the N7105 as it's the "international" version as I thought I may have dramas rooting and installing custom roms etc.
Now, it could just be me or I didn't notice properly when I had the the T variant but it seems I'm getting less signal with the non T variant. Could this even be possible? I'm under the impression no, as it's basically the same handset in every way.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance.

as far as I can tell from looking around, it has different radio configuration tailored for Australian telecommunications networks, this would account for the worse signal.

So I recently bought a Tmobile Note 2 with the intentions of using it on straight talk (att sim). I downgraded to 4.1.1, unlocked it, and flashed the att cleanrom with radios and all, then flashed the att perseus kernel. I haven't had an issue at all. This seems odd that we have different forums for the note 2 when the devices are identical other than radios and roms/kernels are completely interchangeable.
So if I flash a Tmobile rom, can I simply flash att radios and be set, or do I even need to do that?
Also, the Sprint note 2 recently got official Google wallet support. Does that make it easier for the rest of us to get and use it?

I have a quick question for you guys, what is if there is any difference between the T-Mo and the AT&T variants of the Note II? I currently own an unlocked AT&T version of it, but soon I will also own the T-Mobile version of it. I know T-Mobile's does not have KitKat and is stuck back at Jellybean 4.3. After that, is all I can think of a difference. I currently do have T-Mobile. Will I be making a huge mistake by going to that variant?

If you're asking if it's a mistake to use the T-Mobile Note on the T-Mobile network just because the official firmware is JellyBean, no, don't worry about that. There are tons of KitKat and Lollipop ROMs in the T889 forum because of some extraordinary developers. You'll be upgraded in no time. Plus, with an actual T-Mobile Note, you'll have Wi-Fi calling, and it'll be better for overall network compatibility, anyway. Some users of unlocked phones on different networks report data drops or unreceived photo texts, for example.
Hope this helps!
