I am using DN4 on my Galaxy Note 2 N7100 and all of a sudden it started to come up with Emergency calls only,The last time I use the phone was a couple of days ago,I switch between my Galaxy Note 2 and my Galaxy S4,The sim is working fine in my S4.I have tried different sims in the phone but still the same.
Here are some pictures of it with a sim card in it that works with my S4 that use to work in the Note 2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is the phone running the latest bootloader and modem? Does the same thing on a stock ROM?

I know it's not the right phone but I'm almost positive that ive read about people using this method for other versions of the note 2, and I used it with my Galaxy s3. Hope it's what you need.
Please hit Thanks if I've been helpful at all.
Nope
I tried that a couple times no luck idk of it matters but this phone has never been hooked up at all.
US Cellular phones are CDMA meaning cell service is loaded and programmed internally the SIM card slot found is for the 4g lte service only. At&t tmo etc are gsm and use the SIM for cell service. GSM phones if unlocked and can be used on different networks.

Hello Everyone!
I got a AT&T Samsung galaxy note 2 on T-Mobile service using a T-Mobile sim card!
My note 2 has been rooted and I am running Jedi Master x2
I get 4g service in the big towns and in are small town were I live in spots my other T-Mobile phone
will get 4g service were my note 2 only gets E ( I take that as maybe 1g service? )
anyway it is way slow slower!
trying to think this problem out as a MFG's point of profit the inside of all lets say Samsung galaxy note 2 phones
are built all the same in hardware the difference comes down in software programing correct?
AT&T or T-Mobile or Sprint
So a question I would ask do I need to install the modem software from a T-Mobile note 2 onto my AT&T note 2
to get better 4g connection or is it the radio??
or is this a thing I have to live with till I by a branded T-Mobile phone
I would think this is all software related and not hardware am I wrong??

Do a search in the AT&T note 2 section for "AWS mod". Also, make sure you have the correct APN settings.
I have done the AWS mod and two different APN settings
I still get the same thing 4g on one t mobile phone and E edge on my note 2
may I ask does anyone know what would happen if I install the t mobile modem software
on a at&t note 2 ???
Baseband unknown meaning no service. I'd assume the note 2 just doesn't have as good an antenna or faulty? My ATT Note 2 with T-Mobile has LTE out of the box
I've swapped both ways at&t phone on tmo, tmo on at&t phone. Never had an issue so long as your sim card matches the service you want to use. Im using a tmo note 2 with an at&t sim right now without issue. Do Not Flash A Modem Not Built For Your Phone.

Also make sure you APN settings are current. Tmo has changed their APN settings recently. I believe the new settings are named tmo fast.

If you get the Verizon Sim do you still need to put in the apn?

I think I had to add straight talks verizon apn.

Hello,
Question.. I have a verizon note 2 with straight talk service and I just got a verizon note 4. Can't I just put the sim card from the note 2 into the note 4, use the same apn, and get it to work? Or do I still need to get a new verizon straight talk sim? I got this sim a long time ago so I don't remember if it was a verizon straight talk sim but I assumed it was because it works in my Verizon note 2.
Note 910v on straight talk NEED HELP! PLEASE

Depends if the SIM fits and what service the SIM is for. If your on the straight talk verizon you need to call in and transfer service to the new phone. If the SIM fits and is for anything other the verizon you'll need to add the apn.
For whatever reason the apn is blocked on mine as well. I'm guessing straight talk updated my apn when I called and gave them my imei number to transfer my account.
Only thing I can recommend is to call straight talk

Ok i found my old activation kit with all the Sim cards in it for at&t and tmobile.. the Sim card I was using was straight talk tmobile which works fine in my Verizon note 2. But when I put it in my Verizon note 4 I get nothing.. no signal bars nothing.. I don't think it's the apn because I put the sim card back in my note 2 and deleted the apn and I still at least got signal bars just no Internet of course. So i got my number switched to the at&t sim card and tried it and got the same results. Works in my note 2 but nothing works in the note 4. No signal at all. Do you think downgrading to kitkat would get it working? I noticed others who said they were using Verizon note 4 with a at&t straight talk sim card was on 4.4
There's a thread here about tmobile. Works for some and not for others. Some tricks to get it working in the thread as well. Again worked for some not for others.
If coverage is good I'd buy a straight talk verizon SIM for it on eBay(where I got mine) and transfer your account to that. You'll have to buy a 6.99 activation from straight talk when you call. Your number won't change either.

Well I started out with a Note 3 broke it got another Note 3 and now upgraded to the Note 4 all verizon models all using the same straight talk verizon sim.
Service works on the note 4 BUT am limited to 3G. After talking to a few techs they finally told me I need a new sim card. They don't allow switching phones and keeping a single sim.
They are sending a new sim free of charge so at least that's a good thing. Just that I would put this info out there in case anyone else does that same as me and think you can just move the sim card and be good to go.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I switch my straight talk sim card between 3 different phones and never have a problem. One is my ZTE Lever (Straight talk phone), The second is motorola E2 (which is a verizon prepaid phone), and finally my galaxy note 4 ( which is a verizon phone). Everything works great with no problems at all anytime I switch. Maybe it's your apn settings.

Well on a stock 6.0.1 verizon note 4. I can't touch apn settings. Second I have only the imei of my first note 3 associated with my current sim card. I have service but not LTE. My wife has my second note 3 and I associated the imei with her sim and she gets 4g LTE no issue where I would only get 3g when I used it.
Straight talk won't fix it without a new sim. Which isn't a big deal. Order 2 sim kits from walmart for 2 bucks and will have them in a few days.

My s5 was like that. No other sim would work the 4g. That went for the sim in my s5 wouldn't work other phones 4g either (including other s5s). Now I have my sim from 3 note 4s ago and it works fine(broke one, got a bad one and now have a new one). I can also swap sim cards with my son's s4 and it works just fine. Guess some phones are just weird...

Yeah. I have issues getting this note 4 rooted so I can unlock the bootloader. I don't have a computer and only can borrow for short times which doesn't help.
This note 4 also locked me out when I put the new sim in. I never setup a pin number so couldn't unlock it and it totally erased everything even my SD card which I put back in after finished setup again. Very strange but at least I didn't lose anything. Always doing backups. Seriously want root now so I can do full restore.

My ST VZW works flawlessly after coming from an m7
Verizon can be touchy. Even when I wasn't using StraightTalk, but was on Verizon proper, I've had to replace my SIM to get 4G. Apparently they can get screwed up pretty easily. That being said, at least on VZ proper you should be able to swap SIM cards between phones easily.
Well both my wife's note 3 and my note 4 have 4g again on ST vzw. Which considering where we live is a minor miracle by itself. Went on a small drive 3 phones all vzw service. IPhone lost signal a lot, S5 a few times. My note 4 just once but it was a deep valley with lots of power lines crossing the road. Vzw service is the only service either from vzw or ST. No others even remotely work in this area. Living in the lakes region of New Hampshire in the middle of mountains might be nice views but is terrible for radio waves.

So with the Verizon note 7 is there a way to put a sim card in it from another carrier and use it? Like a cricket wireless maybe? There has to be around them blocking our phones...
I use a tmo sim in my verizon note 7. Still using it, never got an update, charges to 100%, gets LTE. Im good.
How do I get my note 7 working again? And have a network how do I revert back to the original software before the update??
