I recently changed over from Verizon to Net10 and have been pretty happy with the results. I went out and picked up two i777's and a SIM card for each. I'm running on AT&T and the service is way faster than my old phone (DINC). I have one slight problem and I've been searching for days on here and loogle... everything on the phone works except for the wifi tethering. It's a really weird issue... sometimes I can get it to work after I reboot the phone, other times I'm not so lucky. My i777 is running JellyBam v4.1 (JB 4.1.2) with Siyah v7.6.9. I know that the newer ROM versions (JB 4.2.1) have wifi tethering issues.(or at least JellyBam v5.1 did - it's documented on their forum) So I flashed back to JB 4.1.2 and I've had the wifi tethering work for me a few times, but more often than not, my laptop/tablet/etc will connect to my phone but with a limited connection - no internet. Everything on the phone looks normal, for example, it pops up with the notification for wifi tethering is now on. And I really don't think its a ROM issue. I was wondering if its an issue with the APN I'm using. Is anyone else on Net10 having issues with wifi tether??? Also I haven't tried using a different tethering app... I would prefer to use the stock tethering app. Sorry if this has been addressed already, I tried searching before I posted. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Not sure I can help too much since I'm not on Net10, but perhaps try switching kernels first. Siyah 5 should work for 4.1.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650948
Also, post your APNs?

Thanks, I'll try siyah 5.
APN
name - net10
APN - wap.tracfone
port - 80
mmsc - http://mmsc.cingular.com
mms proxy - 66.209.11.32
mms port - 80
Good call, I should have posted that before.
Flashed siyah 5 and so far so good. I'll keep testing throughout the day. Thanks for the reply. I feel stupid though, I should have tried that before. Appreciate the help. I'll post up later if anything changes

My data was disconnected after I tried running my wifi tether on Net10 bring your own phone. I have a rooted Motorola Atrix 4G using a AT&T sim. I was told it was because I used all my data but here is what I wrote them and how responded.
Me,
I had my Net10 phone just over a week and my data was turned off. I know for a fact that I did not use 1.5 gb of data because I have a data usage app on my phone. I think I was disconnected because I tried using a wifi tether app. If that is why I was disconnected then I should be told that and not that I used all my data package. If this is not resolved I will be discontinuing service

I have a rooted sgh-m919 tmobile variant galaxy s4.
I flashed infamous s4 kernel 3 and rom 2.6.1
I recently switched from tmobile prepaid to net10 at&t sim byop.
I have used the standard wifi tether app and I have the full version of pdanet+
tethering connects to phone with limited connection, no internet.
Would really like a solution to this problem.

You have T-Mobile Galaxy S4 and you're asking for a solution to your problem in the AT&T Galaxy S2 forum?
Re read my post.
My phone is unlocked.
I am using at&t sim.
As a matter of fact I switched to at&t gophone today.
Net10 at&t is strictly limited to 1.5gb data, so I'm using gophone smartphone $60 plan, which gives you 2gb, plus you can buy more data at $10 per 1GB

Hello! Let me begin by saying that if just up and buy an Android NET10 phone from a retail outlet, hotspot and tethering are disabled by the carrier and are 'carrier-locked', so this solution may not work for you. This reply is for BYOP users and others with an 'unlocked' phone. (There ARE Net10 ONLINE retailers who sell unlocked phones under the BYOP program.)
The fact that AT&T/NET10 found out you were tethering (and why the OP can't connect) may be because you're trying to tether a Windows PC by means of an Android phone. Windows IP packets have a time-to-live (TTL) of 128ms by default, while Linux and Android packets have a TTL of 64ms. That TTL difference, to them, constitutes a dead giveaway that you're tethering. I guess their network detects this condition, and either alerts them to you, denies you the tethered connection, or both. As for PDANet, CWM Tether (that reminds me - I need my $5 back), and other such utilities, I guess the latest Android versions broke them all.
Try tethering on a Linux Live CD. Dollars to pig pills (doughnuts) says that both of you can now tether without detection or problems. Why? Because for all they know, they'll think you're just using data on the phone....
By stumbling onto this nugget on my own, I now realize how I tethered without any grief for YEARS on Verizon by using a Windows Mobile 3G phone and Windows boxes. I never heard a single word from them about it.
Why did they never catch on? I discovered that it was because of the fact that WM and Windows IP packets have the same TTL. Again, they had no idea that I was tethering instead of surfing the Web on the phone. Same thing with AT&T and the others, I suppose...
Fortunately, a registry hack will change the default TTL on a Windoze box to 64ms - the same as Linux or an Android phone. Here's the URL describing the hack: http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/885/
My phone ain't a Samsung, so I guess this'll work for any Android phone. This worked like a champ to solve my own dilemma, but, as a disclaimer, YMMV.
You're welcome...

Hello I had to get another note 2 over this issue I tried using my wife's sim card and it was a no go. It started out of the blu I woke up all worked well then a few hours later I wasnt able to use my phone. It was only good for going on the web and on here. I kept the first note 2 and just bought a new one I would love to fix it for my wife any help would be great. It was rooted and running Jedixv for over a month I tried new sim cards and used sim cards. When I talked to Verizon they said the phone wasn't connecting to the tower but I had full 4G service. If you got a guess im more then willing to try its already down so if I kill it off the rest of the way it wont be to be of a loss. Thanks for any help given.
Sent From My Galaxy Note 2 I605 running Novella Dos... XDA Premium. ..
I recently bought a used Galaxy Note 2 from someone (via craigslist). The phone is in perfect condition externally, looks brand new. It has stock Android 4.1.2. When I picked it up I tested it out and everything worked great, however the area we were in didn't have 4g so I couldn't test that. Got home and switched my Sim card from my old galaxy nexus to the note 2 and it won't connect to 4G at all. It gets 4 bars of 3G, wifi works fine, making calls works fine. Moved the sim back to the galaxy nexus and 4G comes right up.
I called verizon tech support and the guy I spoke with tried to do some kind of update that involved rebooting the phone but that did not fix the problem. He said the only other thing to try is a new sim card, so one is in the mail. If the new sim doesn't work he says it's a device issue. I'm having trouble believing that the sim could be the problem since it works fine in my nexus.
FYI I've tried setting the network mode to both Global and LTE/CDMA.
Is there anything else I can try? Thanks in advance.
The only other thing to try with it is to flash root66 with the NAND Erase box checked in Odin to see if there is something still left on the phone causing this.

You could try the hidden settings. Force lte. Let me see if I can find a link.
If you play with the hidden settings though, be careful, and remember everything you do in there.
"One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind" said anyone who has tried Moon Rom
I think this deserves a thread on its own and this shouldn't be closed because there are a lot of different ways this can go and a lot of different ideas behind using this effectively.
I was unhappy about the amount of money Verizon charged per month so I decided to end my contract and use my Note 2 on T-Mobile. Unfortunately, "T-Mobile" Note 2's are rather hard to come by so I stuck with the Verizon one and decided to unlock it. My question is:
For people using the Verizon Note 2 on other 'contract free' plans in the US:
1) Which rom works for you?
2) Did you modify settings to get data to work properly?
3) Which plan did you choose and how do you like it?
I'll start:
1) I'm using Tweaked. Out of the box, it works with T-Mobile SIM card and receives data as well. In San Diego I get HSPA+ most of the time, even indoors, so the rom works pretty well with different carriers. I did use the Verizon Tweaked rom as well.
2) It wasn't necessary. With the stock rom I wasn't able to consistently get data. I wasn't even able to get Edge to work properly. With Tweaked, I didn't have to modify the MMS settings so I can even send picture messages without issue.
3) I'm using the T-Mobile $30 plan with Wal-Mart. I get 100 minutes a month, 5GB of 4G data and unlimited text messages. Contrary to popular belief, text messages do not eat up my minutes. I send more than 50 text messages per day and I still have about 20 minutes left before my recharge and I'm about 3 weeks into this month.

i just bought a verizon note 2 today for my at&t plan... i put my sim in and i had voice and text instantly. changed the APN and had hspa+ data.. didnt even need to root it to change the apn like i had read on another site. never knew these phones were unlocked out the box from verizon. is LTE possible im wandering with at&T? maybe with a new radio?? even so im fine with 4g, LTE would just be a plus.
Some tmobile users have had problems... I hope somebody can help those users out.
Hi Everyone,
I've been getting the shaft from Verizon with the Galaxy note 2 and paying the 200+ month bill as well. Anyone out there switch over to Page Plus, I've read that they piggy back off of Verizon's network. Any experience ? Thanks
Im curious about this as well, looking to move to tmobile with my note 2 until something else comes along.

I'll be hopping over to AIO in a few weeks, I'll tell y'all how it goes.
Took my rooted verizon note 2 running alliance rom into a tmobile store today. I borrowed a sim card and booted up. It showed signal, but wouldnt recognize it. I switched to global mode in mobile networks and ran apn global fix and it showed h+, h, and 3g. Data was functional as was wifi. Should it show 4g or LTE as well?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Tmobile 4g is h+ they are rolling out lte oz certain areas but without proper radios the Verizon note 2 will not get their lte and I don't suggest flashing another carriers radios. So hspa+ would be the best you could get.

It works pretty well, WHEN it works. Some roms are stubborn about sticking to Verizon and don't allow the switch. I was using Tweaked and it worked well. Tried out LiquidSmooth and couldn't get cell signal at all. Even with global mode.
Now I'm gonna try out Alliance because I want something more current.

I have my verizon note 2 flashed to pageplus have great service... everywhere that verizon has service my phone has service.. I only have 3g though . No 4g lte available for page+ yet... call sms mms and data all work.. im running jellybean latest rom
I used my Note 2 in Europe over the last week without many issues. Data was fine and worked well when I used it. Used SFR in France, Vodaphone in Spain, and T-Mobile in the UK. When switching between carriers, first connection to the network took a little bit, but beat out the new wife's SGS4 when connecting to the networks. When I got back to the US, my phone decided to refresh SIM data, but haven't had any issues other than that.
I'm in the process of trying to find an AOSP or 4.3 CM based rom that can use T-Mobile. All I've had luck with so far are TW based roms. As soon as I switch to a CM based rom, I'm not able to make or receive calls and apn settings can't seem to get data to stick.

Just wanted to update some experience:
AllianceROM :
1/5
Just not a very pleasurable experience. Data worked and calls worked fine but I experienced a lot of bugs just in relation to the rom itself. Re-flashes didn't help. Whenever I opened a picture in Gallery it tried to use this Accuweather overlay on the picture, would always crash gallery. GPS wouldn't work properly either. It was always stuck and GPS fix never seemed to do any good.
Pac-Man:

I want this rom to work really badly. Out of all the roms I've tried, it's the cleanest, fastest and picked up T-Mobile data just fine. Unfortunately it will not send SMS. I tried changing to global mode, GSM mode. 4G worked, 3G worked, data worked and even PHONE CALLS worked. But for some reason even after flashing again, rebooting, reinserting my SIM card, I could never get SMS messages to work. It has the correct MMS info but that's not the issue. It just will not send SMS.
At this point in time, the most consistent and best rom I used was Tweaked but I wanted to try out AOSP after the Nexus 5 came out and I missed the plain Android. I also get annoyed of the Galaxy excessive amount of 'hint' pop ups during initial flashing.
Just switched to net10 and it's not too bad. Data is a Lil slower but not much. Just popped in the sim and added apn info. Running beans 22.

Straight Talk just shut off the data on my VZN Note 2
I've been using my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on Straight Talk for several months without any problem. I did the Bring Your Own Phone thing just as they advertised. I never had any problem until 2 days ago when they shut off my data. When I called them, they said my phone and ALL Verizon phones were not compatible with S.T.
I asked why I was able to use it just fine and then all of a sudden they nixed my data. Not the voice or text. Just the data. They only repeated the same prewritten jargon about Verizon phones not being compatible with Straight Talk.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

My wife and I both have brand new Galaxy S5s, and we both intermittently experience this problem. One of us will send a text message to the other, the text will show as being sent, but the other person doesn't receive it. If the person set to receive the message reboots their phone, the message comes through (as well as any other "pending" messages), and normal phone use continues for a few days until this issue returns. Rebooting seems to always fix the issue temporarily.
This of course is not limited to just communication between our phones, but I was using that as an example. Often times, I'll reboot my phone, and realize I have 3 new text messages, and 2 voicemails from yesterday. Very frustrating.
Phone calls are also affected. When these symptoms are present, phone calls cannot be placed or received until the phone is rebooted. Incoming calls go directly to voicemail.
The worst part of it is, there is no easy way to tell our phones are not connected to the network. The reception status shows good connectivity. Most of the time we're connected to wifi, so email and browsing the internet still work.
I'm just wondering if other people are experiencing this, or have any suggestions of some things we can try. Thanks for the help.

Well, that was very timely. I'm glad they released a fix the same day I decided to ask for help. I appreciate the link, and I'll install it and see how it works out. Cheers.
The update killed a lot of people's data speeds. I made a ticket with t-mobile techs. I suggest anyone else with bad data speeds after the new update do the same.

From what I know T-Mobile doesn't care if your phone is rooted because you're not doing any warranty service. If that was the case they will probably tell you that its voided.. I have seen a few that root their own phones at their job so I doubt it'll be a problem. But I guess every T-Mobile store isn't the same..

Yes this is the exact problem I had with last GS5. Tmobile replaced it and I still have this problem with the new GS5. The tried to tell me it was just how the old GS5 settings were set. They had me do Factory reset many times, it never helped. Now with the replacement GS5 the exact same problem. Like you everything looks great on the display. I would just get calls on my home line wanting to know why I never answer my mobile phone. The only thing that helps me is a restart but it is only temporary. Do you know if they have released a fix for this problem?

I would just get calls on my home line wanting to know why I never answer my mobile phone. The only thing that helps me is a restart but it is only temporary. Do you know if they have released a fix for this problem?

Since upgrading the latest firmware, we have not experienced the problems again. We've been having good service since then. I would definitely suggest you get the latest firmware.
guys, i have the latest firmware and the same problem... any solution or fix?

From what I know T-Mobile doesn't care if your phone is rooted because you're not doing any warranty service. If that was the case they will probably tell you that its voided.. I have seen a few that root their own phones at their job so I doubt it'll be a problem. But I guess every T-Mobile store isn't the same..

The only thing it seems the tmobile employees know how to do is a factory reset .. That is their solution for about everything . Like the other guy said they dont handle warranty . That is for your samsung warranty when knox is tripped . If you have handset protection nothing voids it from what i have seen . I think tmobile would rather replace a rooted phone than one with a cracked screen .

If you put that modem together can you link me it ? Could come in handy in the future. Thanks
I notice the problem occurs when switching to lte from 4 auto mode. Seems lte is giving these problems. Switch to wcdma only mode and the problem will be gone. No lte tho... I will update to latest fw and see if it solves my problem

Samsung S5 network connectivity loss
I have a brand new S5 as well and experience exactly the same problems described, and my friends also have Samsung phones and tablets that give the same network connectivity problem.
