ATT back to TMOBILE (solved) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

we were on att paying almost 400 a month for a business plan for 3 lines so we now have tmobile business plan and pay around 150. My question is this, how can we use our phones on the tmobile network? Going into more detail, we got the phone unlocked already. called att and i told them i was on tmobile network, that i had bought the att phone thinking it was unlocked and he asked for the imei number and 30 seconds later came back with the unlock code. so my phone is rooted, unlocked, running an ics rom BUT what my problem is that i cant get 4g on the tmobile network. i have searched and downloaded a tmobile radio, or so i thought. someone please help me understand how i can get my phone working correctly on the tmobile network? oh and yeah, i have baseband version i717uclf6. i hope someone can help, thx

Hello to answer your question is there a H where the 4g should be if so that's the same as 4g and also are running a custom Rom or is it the stock Rom that came with the phone more info is needed

Hope this can help you a bit. I'm using a t-mobile network and this worked for me. Jslim is correct in saying that there will be no 4g seen on the screen just the "h". You will get good speeds though.

im on a custom rom king kang lf6 milestone 6, there is no 4g or H at all. I have a big capital E where the signal is.

You may won't check the dev section of that Rom and they may have a 4g patch that you could flash it and you may have it in your Rom already you may have overlooked it take a look in your settings also oh by the way E stands for 2g and H is 3 and H+ stands for 3.5g it stand for 3g on steroids

Antenna Problem help!!!

Hi guys I have been getting slow speeds, on my 4g galaxy s is really slow the top is 0.12mbps beyond that it can't even touch 0.13, is something wrong with the radio?, i called my service provider and they said that my service was fine and it could be a problem with the phone. The phone is brand new and it started a couple of days ago, they also say it may be a problem with the towers in my area. It has to do with the phone I think because the tower cant be bad for days
are you on stock or a custom rom?
have you tried a different modem driver?
Why did you make 2 threads with the same question?
Also, go over to the galaxy s 4g section, as that is your phone and more people can help you. This is the vibrant 3g section.

you have to buy an unlock code from an unlocker online, usually around 25 bucks. Start there, get it unlocked so it can recognize a T-Mobile Sim.

1/ The "NOT COMPATIBLE" issue(s) have to do with phone's freq. bands compatible with T-Mobile as a carrier operates on...etc
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...e-3g4g-hspa-on-your-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717/
2/ The unlocking paid service is only a "SIM UNLOCK" that let you be free of choice of carriers.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...our-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-bellrogerstelus/
~~~
Point #1:
having a compatible freq. is only the start, at what freq. each individual carrier operates at what speed is another thing... hence the GNOTE is compatible for T-Mobile but NOT necessarily getting the 3G, 4G, LTE, the way the phone is designed for... to some, it matters... to others, the beautiful screen just blinded them from other considerations.
Point #2:
applies to all phones ( you have to know your phone's limitation before you buy...etc
unless you are upgrading a hardware with a carrier supplied phone ... SIM unlocking is NOT necessary until a point in time when you wish to change carrier ...etc )
ie:
contract ends... oversea ...etc.
if you're gonna do what the guy above me said, i'd recommend that you try the following
i'm on tmobile, using saurom, and latest blaze modem
however, here's what im running in to
the latest blaze modem that was released yesterday has increased my speeds by alot
yesterday when i was on telus sgh t989 modem, i was getting about 386kbps at my house and only 2 bars of service (my fiance's phone was getting around 2684 kbps with 4 bars of service, i wasn't happy). on top of that, at the time it seemed as though my 4g was having a bunch of micro disconnects. also my upload was around 2kbps
today i come home and try the latest blaze modem, and my download went up to 3.8kbps (decent improvement i would say), but my upload is around 10mbps... when looking at the other thread for the blaze release, there was word on some sort of update, so im hoping that will yield me better results
Where Can I Find The "Latest Update" For "Blaze" ?

I dont understand what you mean by Sim free ?
Regarding ROMS - try this thread for installation assistance - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991253 , yours is a CDMA phone so instal only ROMS developed for CDMA.

The phone XT912 is already unlocked for use on any gsm/cdma network outside US.
You can see the development section for ROMs.
Read the forum and stickies and ask whenever you have a doubt.

hey there thanx for that bit of info however the more i read on this phone the more i find that u
can not use any sim in it as the radios are off an no one can turn them on yet.
is this true atm i tryed my swedish sim from tele2 in the phone it said unknown source or somthing
i get a signal but i can not make any calls or recive any.
thx
Thats partially true. Radios are not off. Actually its restricted for US users. Verizon locked it for US GSM frequencies. However outside US it works on all GSM/UMTS and CDMA frequencies.
The 'sim from unknown source' message appers on every boot but it does not interfere with anything else. The reason for you not being able to make calls should be something else.
What happens when you try to make call?

Can i use my s3 for cdma ?

HI.
I want to change my carrier. Right nmow i have simple mobile and its worst and worst. I want to have something from verizon. Also if you know good deals share it pls. I found http://goo.gl/WC4xR and checked verizon. I choose http://goo.gl/eVXlh or http://goo.gl/CbS0r
I want to check plans for http://goo.gl/eVXlh and i have to choose between GSM and CDMA. If i choose GSM i have to choose t-mobile or att sim card.
Can i choose CDMA and register (unlocked i9300 ) for being in Verizon?

I have one more Q ( dont want to create another thread )
Im around 3yrs with simple mobile and after 3 yrs everything can be changed. Which servis ( and if you knoe the deal ) is the best for my unlocked i9300 att or t-mobile ? if cant go with verizon.
I want to have $50 or less per month and unlimited everything.
Like i said i found http://goo.gl/nfXnij and have to choose att or tmobile sim card. I can go also with family 2 lines.
Also what about verizon http://goo.gl/CbS0r ??
Which deal and service is the best today ?
Does the i9300 work on both? Compare att frequencies and t-mobile with i9300.
Would you not be better getting a t-mobile version or att version?
Can't help with plans. Remember, the i9300 isn't sold officially in the US so most of us are not Americans

Well ... good to know
You will only get 3G on AT&T, unless you're in one of the areas that T-Mobile has started adding their new frequency towers in. So you're best bet is AT&T. I'm American. And use my I9300 on AT&T fine.

China Telecom custom made Galaxy S III i939 and i939d (dual sim card )
Everything is same to i9300 except only GSM and CDMA (someone says can be able to use WCDMA while outside the Chinese territory and roaming, but I think it's highly unlikely )

And last chance ...
Any chance to get https://www.pagepluscellular.com/ on my phone? I ask pageplus on FB but i have answer like " only if u have flashed " ?
Also this is answer from thier lifechat :
***
We cannot determine if a specific make & model will or will not work with Page
Plus. In general, you can use any unlocked, Verizon-compatible, CDMA phone on
our network.
If the handset is not an approved Page Plus Cellular device, we cannot
guarantee that web access or picture messaging will work properly on the phone.
We do not have any server information to provide if the device is not an
approved Page Plus phone.
Should you activate any non-approved Page Plus phone on our system we can
provide you with our basic programming sequence, but once more we cannot
guarantee the programming of the device will be successful, nor will we have a
way of telling you exactly why a phone will not work with Page Plus. We can
provide troubleshooting for most Page Plus approved devices. If the device you
are trying to activate is not an approved Page Plus device, troubleshooting may
be limited to the information we have available.

Another answer from pageplus
you may have enough to go with that. I personally am not familiar with rooting and such. I can flash devices, but not into all the extra things you can do with them. Send me a PM via FB and I will try to explain some of the things you need and we can go from there.
what do you think ? Or he :0 ?

I don't know what you're asking. There is nothing that rooting or flashing can do to change the hardware of an i9300 to CDMA.

Yes .. sorry i was in rush.
So one more time. I asked about unlocked i9300 ill work with pageplus. He answer "Only if you have it flashed". So i told him i have rooted phone and change ROM often and is this enought or i need something else like program or setup. And he answer "you may have enough to go with that. I personally am not familiar with rooting and such. I can flash devices, but not into all the extra things you can do with them. Send me a PM via FB and I will try to explain some of the things you need and we can go from ther".
But you already answered this and i trust you more then him.
You can never use an i9300 on verizon as CDMA. You have to use it as GSM. Im not sure who page plus are it what they offer in gsm. You'd need to compare their gsm frequency bands with the i9300.
