I know that this device is titled AT&T Galaxy Note N1717, however I was wondering if the Telus and Bell versions of the Note are the same model. The N7000 has the big physical button and the N1717 has the 4 capacitive buttons, correct? If that is true then will any of the development items in this forum work with Canadian counterpart of the AT&T Note? The Telus and Bell version of the Galaxy Note both have the 4 capacitive buttons and no physical button. Are they the same as the AT&T model? Also the Note on Telus and Bell are both capable of LTE.
Look around the Note forum and you'll see lots of discussion on this. The short answer is you are right.
Afaik all the i717 are the same. The last letter "R" or whatever, just designates carrier/branding. All hardware is the same.
The N7000 is different. Do Not mix firmwares.

This is correct
Mix N700 firmware = Bricked phone they do not play well together

Hi a friend of mine wants to trade his Galaxy S II for my Evo Shift. I'm pretty sure it's worth the trade but before I do I wanna know what's possible on it first.
What all carrier(s) can the Galaxy be flashed to?
What's the best performing/fastest carrier available?
And is the flashing process easy?
Thanks in advance

What country? And what model of Galaxy S II does he have? What carrier did he get it from, if any?
There are over a dozen different models of Galaxy S II, and they are all different. Some are GSM, some are CDMA. Some have LTE, some don't. So what carrier the phone will function on will depend on what model it is.
EDIT: You say you have an Evo 4G Shift, which makes me think you are on Sprint, in the US. Is he also on Sprint? If he is, then the Galaxy S II he has is not the same as the one this forum is for.
THIS forum is for the GT-I9100, which is a GSM phone... which means it works on AT&T and T-Mobile (but only with Edge on T-Mobile) in the US.
The one from Sprint (a CDMA network) is the SPH-D710, also known as the Galaxy S II Epic 4g Touch. (Its forum is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281) If this is true, then I've heard you can flash the Epic 4g Touch to other CDMA carriers (like Cricket, Verizon, US Cellular, etc)... but I don't know the details. If he indeed has the Epic 4g Touch, then you would be better off asking in the forum for that device.
Ok I was not aware of that. But yes it is a sprint version which would make it CDMA. I didnt realize there was a difference between carriers. But thank you anyway for the help!
I just dont know which one. Its for my girl. These will be tmobile phones in this decision which will be on simple mobile.
Right now i have the lg g2x which is unlocked/rooted/running hellfire 2.2 Rom GB 2.3.3 and i love it, battery life sucks though.
What do you guys think about htc 1s vs galaxy s2? Or should we get galaxy s3?

Since you're asking for a comparison to the HTC One S, seems you're asking about phones for T-mobile USA?
This particular model of Galaxy S2 is not the model for T-mobile USA, and will only get Edge mobile data speeds on that network.
I'm guessing you want to know about the SGH-T989 .

The galaxy s2 that i am referring to is in fact a tmobile phone. Im not sure why you are saying i will only get edge? Please explain, or can someone else confirm this?

As I said, the T-mobile USA Galaxy S2 is a different model. I linked the forum for that model above.
See wikipedia.
The i9100 (which this is the forum for: look at the top of the page) doesn't have the required antenna hardware to receive 1700 mhz UTMS, which is a required band for AWS. (the other frequency bring 2100mhz) T-mobile USA uses AWS for high speed mobile data.
So, the i9100 will only get Edge on T-mobile USA's network.
But if you don't believe me, just type "i9100 t-mobile edge" into google.

Ok i get what you are saying now. You scared me for a second there. I thought you meant "this model" as in the one i was referring to. Ok well while we are on the subject, isnt there something that can be done to the phones to switch the antennas like installing a new radio or something, or is it an actual physical piece of hardware that runs off different mhz to get 2g/3g/or 4g?

It's hardware. There is nothing you or anyone can do to the i9100 to get high speed on the T-mobile USA network with that phone.
If you want a Galaxy S2 model that gets high speed on T-mobile USA's network, you want the SGH-T989. I linked the forum for it above.
And back to your original question......
Get one S
Or S3..
do make sure one S is the Qualcomm S4 not the S3 with 1.7 GHz model.
HTC making one S with older processor after S4 shortage.
im just about to upgrade from my sgs2 i9100 to a telus note lte .. (the seller keeps calling it a note lte,, not just a note..)
just a stupid question but is there any difference between the telus, rogers, bell, at&t versions of the note???
i have been looking but i have not found any real answer if there is a difference in the hardware that will affect flashing various roms and rooting..
from what i have read the hardware is the same for all models (right?)
and i can use modems from tmobile...??????
thanks for any help
From what I know, the hardware is the same. The reason he calls it the "note lte" is because of the international version which has completely different hardware.
You should be able to use T-Mobile modems just fine. You could have him give you a screen shot of the "about phone" page in settings to verify its an i717x.

Friend of mine recently upgraded to a Galaxy S II X. I never heard of this model before (only just the S II). Provider is Koodo in Canada.
Questions: I know it has a more powerful dual core 1.5GHz processer over the regular S II dual core 1.2, among other things. But I'm curious to know if anyone else here has one of these? What do you think of it? I notice there is not specific forum section on XDA for this device either. Is it pretty much the same as an S II in terms of rooting/installing ROM's etc.?
Thanks in advance.
Mike.

T-Mobile SGH-T989
Yes, it's exactly the same as the T-Mobile t989 s2. There's a forum section for it. Great development going on.
The "x" is the Telus / koodo Canadian version. But all the T-Mobile roms work on it. The t989x from Telus anyway, works best with the tlle4 radio for Telus. I think koodo has a radio. I've found any of the T-Mobile radios don't seem to work as well.

This is driving me crazy. I have spent the last 3 days trying to figure out which model to get. I want the best speed available. I assume that is LTE 4G. There are too many models available. It is too confusing for me and calling T mobile is useless since none of their employees seem to know what is going on and so far 4 different employees have told me different things.
I am buying an UNLOCKED Samsung Galaxy S3. I want the freedom to be able to use any carrier I want when I want. I am in the US. Apparently not all the models of the Galaxy S3 have 4G LTE capabilities. Which model has it please tell me. I just want to buy a phone. I never knew it would be this difficult.
GT i9305 SGH T999 i535. i747. i9300.
If I use Tmobile I want the LTE 4 G. the fastest internet possible.
I am buying the phone on EBAY listed as UNLOCKED
please help me
Questions go in the q&a forum, ask an admin to move your post.
Suggest you buy a phone that will work best in your country, the i9300 and i9305 won't due to region lock on newer firmware.
