Hello I will be receiving S3 tomorrow and I just wanted ask how to setup with AT&T. I have set it up before on my Galaxy Note N7000, is it pretty much the same way except for needing microSIM?

Yes, should be the same. When I got mine a few weeks ago i cut by SIM card down to micro size and put it in the phone. All data settings were automatically detected.

What kind of setup? I just popped in my sim and everything worked fine. I am running the unlocked, unbranded international version.
Cool thank you very much!
By the way do you guys have LTE plans? On Gnote I have LTE unlimited so I could take advantage of 5gb cap before throttle and visual voicemail. Have you guys set the visual voicemail as well? I hope it works the same as on gnote.

I have the international version so I don't have an LTE plan, I rarely hit my caps anyway as I am on wifi in the office and at home. As for visual voicemail, I use google voice so I wouldn't know.
Thanks again

As the title says, I got my Verizon Note II today but no LTE so far. I just took the SIM out of my Galaxy Nexus, which gets Verizon LTE in my home, and put it in my Note II (purchased for retail price without contract). Maybe the radio is just weaker in the Note II, but my Nexus always gets LTE in my home.
Do I need to contact Verizon to activate the phone or should I be able to just stick the SIM in there and have it work?
It should work fine, I did yhe exact same thing. I was told it was better that I jumped from a phone using Microsim to another microsim phone because verizon was knocking people out of yhere unlimited data plans

I would be pretty irritated to pay $800 for a phone and then be told I had to give up my unlimited data. That would be the end of Verizon for me and my family, and we have been with Verizon forever.
I totally agree. I assume you have done a simple sim pull and reinsert. Have you tried Airplane mode on then off? Maybe something in the mobile network settings is wonkie?

I'll see how it goes over the next couple days. Maybe it's just a radio issue peculiar to our house. Thanks for the help!

My brother had a same issue with his Galaxy S3, but it was resolved by changing to new SIM card. You can also wait for 1 day and see if you get LTE signal....if not, you should take it to Verizon and demand a new SIM card.
This happened to me as well. I thought I could use my gnex sim for the n2, but only got 3g. Called vzw and activated the new sim and got 4G right away.

Very curious. When I bought my Gnote at the Verizon store, the rep removed the sim card from my Gnex and installed it in the note. Works fine for me. Have a strong LTE connection.
I switched from the GNex to the Note 2 and paid full retail for the phone to keep my unlimited data. But I activated my phone online and used the sim from my gnex in my note 2 and as soon as it booted up I had 4G.

Sometimes if you go into settings, more settings, mobile network, and select lte/cdma instead of global, it'll pick up lte.

Turned out I needed a new SIM card. Verizon store said it should have worked with the same card but that sometimes their system gets "confused". They swapped it out with no charge or hassle, and I still have my unlimited plan.

due to the globalocity of the Rez and my VZW contract ending in April, I have purchased a T-Mobile Monthly SIM card online and will be trying out the data/call quality/etc. The plan I am eyeballing is $30 a month for unlimited data/text and 100 minutes.
After much searching, I am expecting that when I put this sim card in, 2 things will happen:
1. the superior radio and leaked global rom will allow me to get HSPA+ speeds on TMO network, make calls, send SMS/MMS, dance, and be merry.
2. once I re-insert my Verizon SIM card, it will be as if I never put the TMO card in, and my plan (including unlimited data) will remain intact.
are these the proper assumptions?
That would be nice, but unfortunately the Rezound radios have (so far) been unable to utilize the tmobile frequencies. Until it is figured out (it has been deemed impossible as yet) you will only be able to use edge network. Calling, sms, mms, and data all work. But data will be stuck at edge network.
The stock global leak may take some tinkering to get all parts working. I recommend a gsm compatible rom, as that will prove the least amount of effort on your end to get up and running.
Fair warning: edge network is usable.. But going from 25mbps to 120kbps is not a fun transition. I'm doing it myself, presently. Awesome devs for the Rez are the only things keeping me from buying a new phone that I can't afford.
Also, just to elaborate on going backward, as long as you don't port your number over (as that would cancel your vzw plan), you will be able to clean flash a cdma rom (or restore a nandroid) to get back on the Verizon network. I have yet to find a rom that allows both modes with everything working just from swapping the sim.

Gotta love TMo getting shafted, or rather shafting themselves, by operating on such an odd frequency in the US
You can get hspa on tmobile with a gsm rom

Tmo works fine on a gsm ROM. I lent mine to a buddy for a few weeks he loved it just no 4g

Switched from galaxy nexus to galaxy note 2, and popped in the simcard from the galaxy nexus.
However only getting 3g, no 4g? My galaxy nexus always had perfect 4g coverage too

are you rooted ???
if so do this
have you tried flashing the new radio ???
go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2108510
and before flashing download AFV from the app store to check the md5 that way you can do everything from your device
Sounds to me more like you need a new sim card

Maybe this. Check network settings first. Also factory reset the phone.

So my buddy is selling a Verizon galaxy note 2 and I was gonna buy it for my girl, but its been turned off by verizon. I was thinking about taking the sim out and putting it on straight talk, with one of there tmo or at&t sim cards. But idk if that would work. Anyone have any ideas?

I see people posting about using bad ESN phones on straight talk all the time. I'm not brave enough to try it, but apparently somebody is making it work.
I pulled the trigger and grabbed super cheap so if this doesnt work ill just use it on wifi. I have the sim installed and everything, but im getting an error when sending calls or text so idk ill see wbat i can figure out.

great to hear that it worked out for u :laugh:
Can you let everyone know what you had to do please?
I used an apn unlock mod I believe and just stuck the sim in and put in the correct apn settings and it worked.
The mods here on xda

I have for the past few years always bought the phones I wanted from craigslist, I would get an att phone and then root+ custom rom then use on straightalk by setting the APN.
Well when the note 2 came out I really wanted one but couldnt find one under $600 used, so I got on a friends verizon plan and paid $300 for my note 2.
Fast foward a year or so and now she is letting the phones get shut off due to an outstanding balance on it (always paid my part)
So my question is.... will this phone need unlocked to be able to use it on straight talk? Would a root and custom rom be all thats needed or do i need to have it unlocked? I still have my straight talk sim card.
This is my first time dealing with a verizon phone and a situation like this.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Sorry, your current phone might not be eligible for any plan on VZW since she is terminating for outstanding payment. It depends if they block your device from the network or not, go to a Verizon store with your device and explain the situation, I'm sure they would try to retain the business if it is at all possible.

You can use this phone on ATT and Tmobile and any of their MVNO's as well as on Pageplus, selectel and couple others.. So to answer your question NO you are not screwed you still have options..
This phone comes unlocked already no need to install custom rom. but you do need to change the APN's
just pull out the Verizon sim card and pop in the sim card you have and should work but you will have to change the apns for mms and data
Awesome... thanks

No you're not. I've tested almost all gsm prepaid services and they work. Not lte speeds but at least hspa+
