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.

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

I'm thinking of buying a used one of these off craigslist ... but I'm on tmobile and I'm worried that I won't be able to unlock it without having an AT&T account first .... Can I unlock one of these without having an AT&T account? Most steps I've read talk about downloading an unlocker program from the market ... but without an AT&T sim card in the phone I don't think I'll be able to access the market ...
What do you all think?
You don't have to have cell network to connect to a wifi and log into market. You will need to root it also before those apps will work. Just fyi though. You will NOT get 3g/4g on T-Mobile

Thanks for responding!
3g/4g only involve data speeds, right? I have wifi at home and at work and do not use a data plan ... So I can root and then unlock on my home wifi without any AT&T account?
I see no reason you can't. I have done lots of phones that way.

Do you or anyone else know how to check if I have the dreaded KK6 2.3.6 version?

I'm using my unlocked Skyrocket on T-Mobile and I am getting 4G Speeds.
I called AT&T and told them I bought the phone off Craigslist, want to use T-Mobiles network. They asked me for the IMEI and gave me am unlock code no questions asked.

Absolutely nothing considering unlocking the 2 phones is a completely different process. On the i777 we can do it with root only. We don't have to call at&t

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.

So if your rooted and unlocked can you simply switch a Verizon sim card for a Verizon sim card? Like my wife's unlimited data razr sim in place of mine?

I'd say yes. When I got the note, I just pulled the sim from my rezound and put it in the note (had to cut it down to size first). No need to call Verizon for anything.
Yes I did that stock with no problems before I unlocked
Sent from my SCH-I605
Another yes here. Pull the sim out of my galaxy nexus into the note 2 and had no issue. Even updated my account on Verizon within about 5 minutes

This is cool. One thing I always liked on gsm carriers is the ability to swap phones whenever I wanted and as much as I wanted (work phone/play phone). What would really be cool is if could put my Verizon sim in my unlocked nexus 4.........
What if the Verizon note 2 had a bad esn? Would it still work I see a lot of deals on ebay for around 4 hundred!

Nope, once it has a bad enough it can't connect to the network anymore, those aren't worth 400.
Edit: I'm not sure if you can unlock it and put it on another network, but it won't work on Verizon.
