Galaxy note on Wind mobile - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hey guys.
I have been using the galaxy note on wind mobiles AWS network. After 5 months using the note on wind I can honestly say no radio can achieve a solid connection.

That's not a surprise. Its not designed for that frequency. An unlocked t-mobile phone would be the better choice.

Try padwan. I use wind as well and this rom runs great

Note supports all frequencies required for Wind or any AWS carriers. T-Mobile Galaxy Note has the same hardware as AT&T or any Canadian Galaxy Note. So, if the phone is unlocked, it should work no matter where the phone was from.
You just need to find the right modem to work with Wind. Try different ones and see which one works.

Unlocking the phone doesn't change the frequencies that it can pick up does it I thought that was hardwired with the attenae

From what I read flashing new modem still won't give you a solid connection. Look for a T-mobile note or save up for the AWS Note2.
Its not worth it to carry around an unstable phone, what happens when you need it in an emergency?

"supports" and works correctly are not the same. I can put low octane gasoline in my car, and it will run, but it will run very poorly. My experience will suffer compared to the experience of running with the correct fuel.
I'm just saying since we have the versions for both networks, get the best phone, and quit working so hard to have only a so-so experience.

My point is that T-Mo Note is the same as all other Note hardware-wise. The only difference is that T-Mo is locked to its network with its own software.
To use Wind, he is going to have to unlock the phone with T-Mo or other carrier-locked Note. So, if he already has a Note in-hand, it is just a matter of finding the right ROM/radio/modem.
IF current radio/modem selections really are less than 100% stable, it is OP's decision to find a T-Mo Note (if that guarantees 100% stable service), or to wait for new radio/modem.

Clearly, this guy has no problem with Wind, and there is a working solution out there. OP just needs to work a little to find it.

If you flash a t-mobile rom on the at&t phone and vise-versa, neither phone works correctly. So they may look the same on paper but they are not the same inside.
If you think they are the same hardware, go to the t-mobile note development thread and flash the stock ICS and you will find out they are not the same.

When I was on Wind, I didn't have trouble using the Telus and Vk1 modded modems worked fine. The Blaze modem was terrible though.

Alright so how do I flash the VK1 modem and update to the latest available ROM?

When I was testing on Wind, Blaze modem actually worked the best.
Rom and radio/modem are independent of each other, and rom didn't seem to affect my network connectivity.

Hi guys,
I have the Galaxy note i717 from rogers it is similar to the ATT version. So i just sim unlocked it and am not using wind mobile. It has been working fine out the box on 4G and 3G. i looked at the specs and it was the AWS was for LTE, so im confused how is this working with wind on 3G and 4G since i didnt do any modifications. is there fall back?

@ ALLGamer
I do not want to root this phone or flash anything. I am just asking how is it possible that it is working without modifications and I want to confirm that it is in fact working.

Check the base band, it will tell you which radio it's using, out of the box will not work with Wind
Most likely some body already flashed a compatible radio to it before you had it

That may be becuase i bought it unlocked at a shop. So if it was not modified than it wont wokr? what would happen if i put a wind sim in an unmodified phone would it show wind away all the time. So since mine just says wind and not wind away does that mean it was modified and it is working

actually, on an original i717 if you just stick in a Wind SIM card, you won't even get network service within the city
if you go out to roaming areas, then yes you will get Wind Away

unlocked for international use?

I am selling my i777 for funding for a note, thus guy in Ecuador wants to but it and he is asking me if it will work there? I have the phone unlocked but I don't know anything about international use..would he have to have a certain modem flashed to make it work right down there?
Any opinions on trading in my g2 for a note other than the size difference..i have larger fingers and hands so I think it will be a okay fit for size.
Thanks!
I'am using I777 in Brazil without any problem. Depends on the carrier he may need to flash a different modem for the best performance.

works fine!
By default, it's not unlocked - but unlocking it is easy with root.
Depends on bands that they use there. Phone will definitely work under GSM, and it will get 3G unless they use bands other than 850/1900/2100Mhz.

Reading some where here at the XDA forums, they say G2 is better than the note. Set a side bigger screen for the note, I don't know if you wants to do that. Just my 2 cents.
International Note - Yes, def. something I'd consider.
AT&T Note - Horribly crippled mangled abomination.

I get best results running the blaze modem for ICS. The modified T-Mo modem from Tomin works, but for me, blaze was better. As always, try them all. You may have to get a new sim card from T-Mo if you get an error that says you need to replace your sim card. I needed to replace mine. Good luck, although it was easy.
Hey Sack, what kind of speeds are you getting? I've got a 717 too, but I'm using it on ATT at the moment. But, my Nexus One is running on TMO network and I was considering swapping the sims to see how the Note would function.

You need one of the newer sims in order for wifi callin to work with the newer version of it. The older sims are not compatible. Question for you, is the t-mpbile rom working well for you? I'm also using an unlocked att note with t-mobile service...

Getting Jellybean on the I9300 that works with T-mobile service in the United States.

Hey guys, I am in need of some help. I cannot seem to find the right keywords to return the search results I need.
I know there are plenty of battle tested Jellybean roms for the International (which I own). My problem is getting one that supports the kernels necessary for me to achieve service with my T-mobile provider her in America.
If anyone would be willing to link me to a JB Rom that will cure this ailment I would be deeply obliged.

I installed the i9300XXDLI6 (4.1.1) FIRMWARE and I still have the issue of forever roaming. I can select t-mobile as my network and it registers. However, I have the roaming r above my signal bars because my phone thinks I am out of my "international" coverage zone.
So I need a link to a leaked jellybean and or created jellybean firmware that will work with T-mobile service in the U.S.
Hence the reason why I made this post. It is very easy to find a jellybean firmware that will work on an i9300 for a person that lives in the UK. However it is proving very difficult to do the same for an i9300 owner in the U.S.
Any help would be much obliged.

I would have thought that the modem was the problem .

I think your on to something here. I would love to know which modem will allow me to achieve service with T-mobile in America. I know personally that I can rule out the LFB and LG8 and LE8 modems. Any others you think are worth trying? Or do you know which one will for sure work? I have tried googling this before and was unable to yield any results. It would seem that owning a quad core phone for other T-mobile users in America was not a very high priority.

I am using Hot Mobile in Israel and have the same problem. I have tried the modem from the stock ROM with out any success which leads me to be believe the modem is NOT the issue. Anybody else have any ideas. I have the right CSC and the modem from stock ROM but it is stuck on roaming.
The hardware can only connect to certain frequencies, if your companies 3G band/s don't fall under those specific bands, you will ROAM or be on 2G...
You probably ARE roaming on AT&T or a small local GSM provider. A T-Mobile branded handset probably wouldn't show you that if they had a seamless roaming agreement. So you'd see E instead.
No matter what ROM you install on the i9300, it's not gonna fix your T-Mobile problem.

Shouldn't make a difference if you have an international factory unlocked GT-I9300. I originally had AT&T service which was roaming all of the time due to no coverage in my area. I dropped AT&T for a local pre-paid service which is owned by t-mobile, I am no longer roaming (on any rom i've flashed, custom or official). If you have an unlocked i9300, ANY rom in these forums will work on any carrier as long as you have the right sim card.
Power phone off, remove sim card. Power phone on for a few minutes. Pull battery for 30 seconds, reinsert sim card, insert battery, boot phone. Don't know much else you could do. Modem is not the issue if you are getting signal.
BTW, there are plenty of U.S. TMO gt-i9300 owners here, your the first to mention any issue like this.
Yupp plenty of US Tmobile GT-I9300 users on 2G. Hardware DOES NOT SUPPORT THE RIGHT BANDS...

But when I didn't have root the roaming was never there. Or when I rooted and flashed the stock firmware I didn't have it. I don't think it is an issue of my data roaming or my phone not having service in my area. I'm not sure what it is but it has not always been there and only returns when I try to put a cool Rom on it like Omega or Viking.

I got a little excited when I was reading this thread and thinking that there was a way to enable the 1700mhz band so you could actually use the i9300 with T-Mobile here in the US.

I actually have a different problem. TMobile in Seattle has repurposed their 1900Mhz band for 3g. I've verified this by putting in my sim into an optimus 2 that has no support for 1700MHz, and I was able to connect to 3g fine. On my i9300, it just doesn't go above edge. I've played around with the radio forcing it to do WCDMA only, and the darn thing just wouldn't connect. The phone is mostly stock, I flashed it with CWM recovery, and SuperNexus. It's running the i9300XXLH1 baseband which it had when I got the phone. I still get edge and the reception is definitely a modest improvement over an aging nexus one which this replaced.
I think 1900 works in LA/San Francisco as well - if any of you guys have been able to connect to tmobile 3G on a i9300, can you share your config? Worst case, I think I should just try what the ATT guys are using, but any pointers before I start this wild goose chase will be useful :good:

I realize that the T999 version offers the best national coverage, but they've started work on refarming the frequency in Seattle. An optimus 2x which supports a subset of 3g bands of the i9300 was able to connect to tmobile 3g using my same sim card. I couldn't find a better news source, but this site says what Ive seen: okay, I can't post a url here, but the first google result for tmobile 1900mhz seattle. Basically, any AT&T 3g phone should work on tomobile in my area since the optimus experiment was successful.

I777 working on tmobile?

Hey guys...Im doing a favor for a friend...he just got the I777 rooted ...but he wants to use it for Tmobile...what do i need to change for it to work with a custom rom...and then again can i port a rom from the tmobile S2 ...just modem?any input would be appreciated..
Edit:i have the E4GT on sprint...so i'm not really familiar with the gsm models...
While I should say use the search bar, all the information I've found is pretty outdated regarding this.
The simple answer is that you probably can't get it to work, at least not 3G/4G, if Edge is fine then you can unlock the phone with "Galaxy S Unlock" in the play store, just follow the directions listed, it's pretty simple.
The extended answer:
You might be able to depending on where you are. T-Mobile generally uses the 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz bands for 3G/4G, but the i777 doesn't use the 1700 MHz bands, instead it can use either 850, 1900, 2100 MHz bands for 3G/4G. However in preparation for LTE and just to increase bandwidth across 3G/4G they are starting to take some of their 1900 MHz spectrum from their edge networks and move it to 3G/4G/LTE. This has just started happening very recently and is currently in very few markets, however you may be in one of those, it is still expanding if you aren't but it may take a while. The only way you could know is if you took a T-Mobile sim card and put it in an unlocked i777 and if you get 3G/4G then you are good, otherwise you are stuck with Edge.

The S2 for ATT doesn't support 3g for T mobile and vice versa. There could be some weird instance as mentioned above where it could work but in most cases it won't.

Mostly true, T-Mobile's S2 should work with AT&T's network, you may have to flash a new radio but theoretically it should work.
You cannot port a T-Mobile ROM because T-Mobile does not have a similar gs2. The T-Mobile gs2 is the twin brother to the skyrocket

No rom has broken wifi.
To get mms working you need a rom that's gsm only/based off the butterfly.
The sim error is a hardware issue. It has nothing to do with the rom your running or the fact that your using gsm.
And this is strictly a Verizon phone.

newsflash: this is a STRICTLY a vzw phone
because verizon made it (and most of its lte phones) "global" phones to support its customers who travel overseas, its possible to use on gsm networks....which is great and may gsm users pick up verizon devices now
this doesnt mean however, that everything is going to work perfectly for using the dna on other providers.....do not confuse this phone with an unlocked non-branded device....it was created as a verizon lte device
well i live on mexico and i use GSM... and i dont have any issue and my phone is a Verizon...
SIM errors can be fixed by putting a piece of scotch tape on the plastic (read: the side without the metal contacts) side of the SIM. This is a common issue in HTC phones with a SIM tray instead of a slot.

I just don't understand why someone would buy this phone, expecting to use it on a different carrier. Why not use a phone designed for that carrier's network? That's like buying a phone that is S-on and expecting S-off. You can hope it comes along, but to just expect it is unrealistic.
Yes, I get that the specs on this phone are/were a motivator, but it's not fair to the phone to get mad because you can't make the phone do something it was never advertised to do. And despite the claims to the contrary, some ROMs work just fine for what you're trying to do.
I don't know what we're yelling about
.
We can't have any more yelling. If we have any more yelling, then the s**t is going to hit the fan!
I've never seen someone get so angry about something when they're wrong on so many levels....

This is rediculous
The phones nice but trying to get s good Rom flashed that supports mms and without the SIM error is to hard.
No-one seems to have real fixes
It should have been a STRICTLY vzw phone
All I want is been looking for is a Rom that will flash and have T-Mobile mms and working WiFi and SIM that works

I was thinking the same thing, but found NOS m7 which works well and has literally 0 issue. If you get this rom and you get issues, let me know and I can help. MMS and all is working perfect. Plus Sense 5.0 is ever so sweet.:fingers-crossed:

The ol' ID-10-T error..lol JK!
Okay, to this was a short-lived thread for a reason. But, since it's been revived I'll add that I bought a nice used DNA and I'm a T-Mo customer. Even stock, it worked great on T-Mo here. Granted, I don't live in a 4G T-Mo area anyway so I'm not missing the latest in high-speed data.... anyway, stock I was very pleased. The only thing which didn't work was the wifi hotspot.
Move forward a couple of weeks and now I'm running NOS M7 on it. Thanks to this great forum for the help with that. Wifi hotspot works great, the ROM is robust, and I couldn't be happier.
So, I'm not on Verizon. I'll be using this on T-Mo in the States and on a couple of foreign SIMs when traveling for work. And I love the DNA.

I'm not sure if I you mean will the phone work or will T-Mo service work there. Sorry.... Certainly the phone will work. Mine works fine with a SIM from Germany (Blau) and one from India (AirTel). If you get a Hungarian SIM, it will work.
I'm actually loving the DNA on t-mobile
I'm S off unlocked bootloader running Newtoroot sense 5 global Ver. 1.0.4 I have working Hspa + (1900 ) 90%of were I live I have mms working the only thing if I ever restart my phone I have to go to setting the add (MMS)to my apn setting that's all very small price to pay .
