Guys,
I still have the ATT Note running with T mobile sim Saurom GB 2.3.6 and has 4G. Is there any ICS or JB ROM that has 4G with Tmobile Simcard not just edge only.
P.S: been busy with Note II so kinda abandon Note I
Thanks
Any rom can have 4g ( H+) for t-mobile if you flash the Blaze 4g modem. Several threads about getting t-mobile to work are our there.

Actually this isn't entirely true. I have an AT&T Note as well that is unlocked and running on T-Mobile service, but am having trouble getting 4G to work with some of the ROMS. So far from my experience, any Note ROM that has UCLF6 base will not work when you flash the T-Mobile Blaze modem. These ROMS will give you data access, but only Edge.
Bigfau's latest Black Star XI ROM release will work with the Blaze modem, as well as ptmr3's Padawan V7 ROM. In fact right after I flashed Padawan V7 the data kicked on and was varying from 3g to H+, so flashing the Blaze modem wasn't even needed.

V7 of Padawan doesn't come with a modem included. It retained your previous modem which is why it immediately grabbed your data connection.
I personally have had a solid data connection with every ROM I've tried. I still stick with Padawan as it is behind smooth and extremely fast.

Why would you contradict me and give out incorrect nonsense? For seven months t-mobile users have had 4g using all versions of stock and custom Roms using the Blaze 4g and other galaxy modems. Padawan Roms are fairly recent. I am being gentle because you only contributed 23 times in more than two years.

This thread covers the topic from last March.
The issue is using the phone on a network it wasn't designed for. When you do that you get unreliable results.

I had flashed Padawan V5.1 before flashing V7 and V5.1 comes with UCLF6 modem. Got nothing more than Edge speeds. Then proceeded to flash Blaze modem(while still on V5.1), only to have no signal at all. Tried fixing permissions and still nothing. Then flashed V7 which like you said retained the Blaze modem and instantly got good data connection. Sorry for not fully explaining. So it seems ROMS based off UCLF6 don't play well with the flashing of Blaze modem IN MY EXPERIENCE.

There's no incorrect nonsense being given here. I simple posted my results about the matter at hand in hopes of helping out a fellow Note user who's pretty much in the same boat as I. Maybe I didn't make my whole situation abundantly clear like i did above, but doesn't give you right to bash me. Never said that YOU were completely wrong now did I? What's all this "being gentle" BS? You think you're better than me because you contribute more than me or something? All the time I spend on this forum is READING/LEARNING and using the search button to solve any problems that I encounter. I avoid posting, unless I truly think that I can help someone out, so I don't have to deal with snippy remarks from people like you.
Looks like my post wasn't complete nonsense, because it seems to have helped the OP out and even got me a :good:THANKS.
Wonderful. Keep up the good work. Excellent contribution. Well done. Come back more often and educate us. We don't know how we lived without you. Now your thanks count is. . . Ready? . . . 2. Wa wa wa.
Running Novena with the Blaze modem. Boom. Works great.
Hope that helps

Hi all,

You could always try the CM9 alpha or icssgs, see if there is any difference
If changing modems makes no difference, then it must be the rom.

Unfortunately its all of them. The only fix I have found is getting off ICS. Once the newest glitch kernel is back ported for cm7/miui.us I won't be able to careless lol.

Interesting. I should have mentioned kernels (many to choose from), but it sounds like you might have tried a few of them also. Good luck.

If someone requests a new SIM card from T-Mobile, do they get to keep the same phone number? Also, I've had my Samsung Vibrant's battery since around Oct 2010. How much longer would you think this battery will be good 'til?
T-mobile ICS radios
I've been messing around with radios for a while. I decided to release some for the Note. These focus on both speed and stability.

The radios in this post will provide you with better speeds and stability.

Code:
- Latest UCLE2 Modem
- Modified ICS Blaze Radio
- Removed unnecessary files
- Increased 4g speeds on AWS

- Florida: 11.5 mbps down and 1.3 mbps up
- Maryland: 7 mbps down and 1.7 mbps up

im getting good speeds (3-5d 1-2u) with jeets new ics blaze modem 5/28
Ill try yours 5/29 and report later.
I was using one of the GSII radios for ICS before on OnlyOne and CM9 with poor results. I was frustrated with constant notifications of data service loss and an inability to pick up EDGE/3G/HSPA+ after leaving an area with no reception. That issue could only be fixed with a restart. Additionally, speed tests were irrelevant due to ridiculous latency issues, but I never got anything above 1-2mbps.
I flashed your radio this morning and could not be happier. My downtown San Francisco speed tests were seeing 80-150ms latency with 8mbps down and 1.5mbps up. Thank you for saving my Note!

There are yet to be any JellyBean modems, as far as i know. You could try to flash an ICS Modem (not sure if it would brick phone or not). Best thing to do is just wait!
A modem is not dependent on the android version. There is no such thing as an ICS or GB or JB modem. Flash any you want.

If that is the case, how do I figure out what modem a ROM is using? While using xXX I got great coverage. On new liquid, not as good it seems.
So I could find out and flash over with the XXX modem and be happy? Or are there other considerations?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Just download a few modems to your sd card and flash one, let it settle on for several hours, and decide if you keep it or dump it. Then move on to the next candidate. Eventually you will find the modem that gives best results for your area. I like the LF6 modem.
I've tried various roms, and none of them would give me LTE no matter which modem I used. Best I could do is 4G at non-LTE speeds. I really like JB, but have gone back to stock ICS on my Rogers Note, so that I can enjoy the LTE capabilities of my Note (after all it aint an iphone 5!) LOL Probably will have LTE in some of the roms soon enough, either that of official JB!

You can get LTE w/ Rogers for any of the ROM's posted, whether they are TW based, CM9/CM10/AOSP/AOKP.
Just requires some tweaking.

4G is LTE. Since the modem is the same for JB, the speed difference you're seeing is either an incorrect APN or simple Placebo.
For myself, I know I need to set a different APN to get full speeds on LTE.

Hopefully you are judging LTE speeds on your phone using something like the speedtest site or app and NOT the little icon that appears in your notification area.
On the liquid jellybean rom the 4g icon IS LTE speed as verified by the above mentioned app. You should flash the Rogers modem for best results.
I am with Bell mobility and use the MUGLF4 modem with liquid jb rom. My speeds in an LTE area in the GTA average about 25 mbps down and about 12mpbs up although I once hit the theoretical limit of 75mpbs in the Dufferin and Major Mackenzie area. I think they must have been doing some testing that day. . I haven't been up there since.
Around Yonge and Steele's, I get 25mbps every day. My phone shows the 4g icon...
I never get LTE because it isn't available in my region.

hi all
I have started to flashed liquid Rom (JB) on my AT&T note that is running on T-Mobile network just last week.
glad to say my speed test on T-Mobile 4G was pretty good although inconsistent at times.
I have the highest speed running 13mbps down and 2 up.
I flashed the blaze ICS modem.
so for those on T-Mobile network running a AT&T note, yes it has pretty decent speed.
