Hey guys I need some help from the people that know all the information about the AT&T Galaxy Note. I'm planning to get mine on the 19th but I have a couple of questions about the "phablet".
1. Is there are an ICS version coming out soon for the AT&T Note? I read about one coming for the International version but the AT&T version uses different hardware so I'm worried about this. I have ICS running on my Captivate and it works really good.
2. Is it coming with NFC? I read this phone comes with GB 2.3.5. I read somewhere that GB 2.3.6 is the version that supports the NFC feature. (Please correct me if I'm wrong).
3. How is the GPS on the Note? I had a very bad experience with the Captivate and the Asus Transformer Prime and I want a phone with a fully functional GPS.
Thanks for your help.
No dates for ICS, if this is a reason to get it, hold off. Well it get it, of course it will but it could be end of year
NFC, yes it is included
GPS, works fine on the international model, don't see why that would change

Thanks for the reply. I'm asking about the GPS because right now I have a Captivate and the GPS never work like it should
I came from captivate too. The moment i turned gps on my friend's note, i gave my captivate to my dad i am constantly getting 12/12~16 satellites in gps test opposed to 4/4~5 on captivate

Moved to ATT Note General​
We have a ATT Note forum now. Please post anything relevant to that device there.​

I bought my Samsung Galaxy Drod v2.1 when I was a T-Mobile customer. Then I unlocked the phone and moved to ATT (work reasons). Everything seems to be working ok but the GPS. Its kind of flaky. In fact, it has worked at all for months and then suddenly today, it started working. I dont know why. Here is my question:
1) Are there settings that would allow my Galaxy's GPS to work perfectly on ATT as it did on T-Mobile?
2) Is there a way to Flash a Android v2.2 onto my Galaxy on ATT?

I assume that by "Samsung Galaxy Drod v2.1" you mean "samsung galaxy vibrant with android 2.1", if so, then readng the sticky posts in here would've answered all your questions and also given you instructions on how to do everything with the vibrant.
to quickly answer your 2 questions:
1) Yes, there files you can flash too
2) Yes, look in the android development section
Thanks ID006. Looked but couldnt find it. I'll try again.....
I tried to find where I can load Android 2.2 but couldnt find it in the stickies. Does anyone have a link? Thanks.

There.
Thanks Cash.
I also ask questions like that. thanks
I am considering moving from Verizon to Sprint (for reasons unrelated any handset I have now or could get). If I move, this means getting rid of my Samsung Droid Charge, which I like a lot, and getting a phone on the Sprint network. As near as I can tell the Galaxy S-II (Epic) is the top of the line phone at Sprint, so that's what I would probably get.
Q. -- Are there any reasons *not* to buy a Galaxy S-II (Epic)?
Q. -- It looks like there's a cagillion ROMs for Galaxy S-II. Will all of them work on Sprint's version of it (the Epic, which is a CDMA phone)? Or are some ROMs only available for the GSM versions of the handsets?
Q. -- I've never used ICS, but I suppose that I'd install an ICS ROM. Which one or two is considered the best (favoring stability over speed)?
Q. -- I've been running a wireless tethering app on my Droid Charge, instead of paying Big V thirty bucks a month for tethering privileges. Assuming that I root a Galaxy S-II (Epic), will I be able to tether from it, without getting nabbed by Sprint? Will I need an outside app to do that or will any rooted Galaxy S-II do this?
Thanks in advance.
A. Sprint may be getting the Galaxy Nexus soon. If you like the phone, that may be one reason not to buy the SGS2. New phones are coming very soon within the months.
A. All roms here in the i9100 section will NOT work the Sprint SGS2. Check out the Epic 4G section of XDa:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=713
A. Ask the question there regarding a good rom. It may be suggested to use a gingerbread rom for better stability.
A. You can try using certain apps in google play for tether. Again, just confirm with the epic 4g section if sprint watches this or not.
Thank you, Kaze105.
The Droid Charge has one forum for its GSM and CDMA versions, so I didn't think to look for a different forum for the Epic variant of the Galaxy S-II. Sorry to post in the wrong place, but thanks for the info.
Would the Nexus, once available, be considered superior to the Galaxy S-II (any variant)?
FYI, Sprint SGS2 is actually the Epic 4g Touch. It's forum is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281.
As far as comparison to the Nexus, depends on your point of view. Nexus has no external sd card slot, but does come with AOSP Android, so no TouchWiz. Screen is different as well, as well as camera. It's a subjective thing.
Yes, I should do my own research and I have done the bare minimum. Atrix is a GSM phone and I believe page plus works on Verizon which isn't a GSM network? But somewhere I swear Ive read about the Atrix being able to work with other networks. Can it be flashed to page plus and if not which networks can I get it to without hardware changes. I am trying to sell mine as I got the S2 (don't flame me lol), I got the Atrix 2 first but everything I saw about the specs said the original was a better phone so I went with the next one in line for ics. It is what it is. Now I want to sell it so I can get the S3 and be next in line for JellyBean. So who is my target customers I can flash it to for prepay? Thanks in advance!
Broadcasted from the Redneck-Riviera in L.A. using my Sammy s2, Task650's smooth as a baby's bottom AOKP and a little duct tape.
No. If it doesn't have a sim, it wont work with the atrix since they (moto) didn't release it to cdma. Sorry
I have an original ATT Note that was hacked to use T-Mobile with a Saurom Rom .....not sure which Radio....
My question is when T-Mobile releases their version next month can my original hacked Note be rehacked with the new T-Mobile ROM and radios?
Or do I have to restore the ATT files and sell to an ATT customer...then buying a new T-Mobile Note?
thanks for the help....

yep that's what I thought the answer would be....just hate to take a $ hit on it which I no doubt would...plus with Note 2 coming out soon it would be nice to be able to use the one I have with the real T-Mobile Rom and Radio....until the Note 2 comes out....

Is it because no developer will be working on it or what?
I dont think the t-mobile radio alone will help. But, if a replacement speaker/anntenna assembly becomes available, that should do the trick.
IIRC the phones are internally different. At least the antennas are. Thats the weak point of the at&t model. Personally id sell yours and get the one specifically madefor AWS. Plenty of people will want yours (LTE). Not everyone will want a tmobile branded phone.
Pretty sure the tmob phone will have superior AWS reception

Correct me if I'm wrong but T-Mobile is supposed to be rolling out with LTE next year, will the att note support that LTE since the phone supports it. If that's the case I will stick with the att note in hopes that I could get LTE.

Going to go for the T-Mobile Note
I guess I'm convinced that selling the ATT version and just buying the new T-mobile Note is what I'll do..............I figured that was the wisest thing from the start but was curious as to the "why's"........
I'm on T-Mo with the note too, but have come to the conclusion that I'll hold off for the note 2, assuming it comes to T-Mo, and if not then I'll get the T-Mo note later. I'm basing this on the marginally acceptable d/l & u/l speeds I'm getting and that 90%+ of the time my data use is on wifi anyway.
Just sharing another T-Mo users thoughts.
T-Mobile Note....Wait or Not
[My download and connectivity issues are such that without wi-fi dialing my service at home is unpredictable and marginal....so looking towards T-Mobile having their own Note makes waiting for Note 2 not a good option unless the ATT Note I'm using could be flashed again with updated radio and perhaps ROM.
Was hoping that taking those from the new T-Mobile Note would be possible, but if not then I'll have to go the buy-sell route and move my ATT version as soon as the new one is out and in my hands.
Even with this fix: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/galaxy-note-i717-hacked-to-work-on-t-mobile-3g4g/ you are getting poor results? I am thinking of getting a used note to use with my t-mobile 2 year plan, I will probably not going to be able afford the "no contract note" even if its released for t mobile soon...
I'm getting 3-10mbps average and that's when I'm NOT on wifi. I really see no reason to why you would sell your current note for a newer phone but with the sake exact specs at such a higher price. Wifi calling would be the biggest reason and 42mbps? Even with my galaxy s2 on T-Mobile I hit 5-12mbps all day. But I use data only for BS poker, Facebook and BS like that. I don't see at all why u would bother switching especially if its only to flash roms ans radios. Several threads talk about getting the tmobile galaxy note radio working on the att version.

Hey guys, I just have a quick question. I'm in the market for a new phone and I thought I could try out the Note 1. It's a perfect fit for me, except that I find more AT&T variants than T-Mobile variants for the price I'm looking at (Around $240 or less). Now, I know that NYC is probably already a refarmed area for 4G but how well does it work? Will it work as well as a T-Mobile branded Note or will there be hiccups? I also saw that people on YouTube were putting different radios in, but does it matter anymore if I flash that specific radio on a refarmed area? If anyone in a refarmed area could tell me how it is for you guys, I'd be forever grateful.
Oh and PS, I know that there are T-Mobile notes for that price, but the AT&T version has the ability to have Jelly Bean on stock, which I need since I'm buying for me and my mom.
I don't believe they made a tmobile note 1. Just at&t, bell, Rodgers, and an international version. The note 1 for at&t does work on tmobile partially. I don't think you will get lte. There are a bunch of radios you can try. Check out the super everything thread in the general section.
Price wise I think 240 bucks is A LOT for a note 1. You might be able to find a note 2 for that much and it's a better phone. There are tmobile, at&t, and Verizon variants of the note 2.

Oh but they did make a Note 1 variant for T-Mobile. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-tmobile
I tried to find a Note 2, but they're all broken, or have bad ESNs. I don't feel comfortable buying anything with a bad ESN. So you are advising against it?

Thanks for sharing the link with me. I had no idea!
I wouldn't say I'm advising against it. I had a note 1 for 2 years and loved it. 250 seems kinda high for a 2.5yr old device that's intended for a different network then I'm on. If it's brand new with a brand new battery, (Batteries barely make it 1yr in this phone) it might be worth 250 "to me".

5) flash UCMD3 modem
6) factory reset and flash beanstalk rom
7) flash pollutions rom patch and select UBER kernel.
