Is it possible for us to get the global version that has the quad core procesor in it or is it simply incompatable for use in hte states?
That processor doesn't work with LTE. Hence the dual core s4 in the US versions. I have seen some news that a quad core that is US LTE compatiblt is in testing. I forget if it was qualcomm or nvidia, I really don't follow or understand processor level stuff much at all.
And please clarify, who is "us"? You mean "us" in the States, or "us" on Sprint?

The dual core has been shown to supersede the quad core tetra on many tests during normal usage, so don't feel left out. I prefer our processor from what I've seen and read.
I think the quad core version is also GSM.. So you might be able to unlock it and use it with T-Mobile or AT&T, but that would be on 3G only.
I'm hearing that evo 4g lte will not be easy to unlock. Does this mean we will not be able to root it right of the bat?

There is no 'quad-core' version of the EVO 4G LTE....yes its a lot like the OneX on ATT but still a different device....hence the different forum for it....
if there is going to be a gsm version of the device then it will come from HTC.....but thats very doubtful as HTC is trying to try its line for the year and stick to small # of phones except for when US carriers have specific demands like Sprint has done with the EVO here...

I don't see why we wouldn't be able to use HTC's unlock?
Either way I wouldn't worry too much about it, there is always someone saying new phones are unrootable and they're always proven wrong

I agree, but I think he's referring to the fact the the ATT version of the One X can't use HTC's official bootloader unlock tool. From what I heard though, this had more to do with ATT than it did with HTC.

Sure seems that way! Can't wait to get this phone and can't wait for the devs to get this done.
Wish I could help. I am a programmer but I mostly only use .NET at work. I have done some android app dev but only on the app side. I figure the learning curve to find root exploits is pretty steep.

Correct, AT&T specifically forbade HTC from allowing One X users from using the unlock tool.

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.

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
I have the Galaxy note 2, which is getting awesome 4g reception. My wife is using the Evo 4g Lte and I can't get it to pick up 4g anywhere. She is currently running Meanrom 6.5 which is an ICS based rom. Any suggestions on what I can try to make this work?
I did check to make sure that I was on CDMA/LTE.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Ok...I am getting ready to jump in and do this. I just want to make sure that I am understanding everything correctly. I am going to stay S-on. So that be said, I believe that I need to do the following:
1)Make a Nandroid Backup
2)Relock Bootloader
3)Install the latest Ruu (RUU_JEWEL_CLICS_40_S_Sprint_WWE-2.13.651.1_Radio_1.12.11.0809_NV_SPCS-2.45_003_r
elease_277028_signed.exe) I believe this is the correct one?
4)Unlock the Bootloader
5)Restore Nandroid
My current Baseband is (1.12.11.0809)
If I am missing anything or if the above file is not correct, please let me know!

You are going to run into problems with this plan, when you take the OTA you will be updated to the latest firmware and baseband which will update the touch panel drivers. When this happens your will only be able to run a rom that is based on the 3.16 software. If you do a nandroid restore to an ics rom your touch screen will not function. You would be better off running one of the 2 s-off procedures: dirty racun or facepalm s-off, and then updating the firmware and radios through Captain Throwbacks update files.

maybe a hardware/case issue
I have the same exact situation. I have a sgn2 and my wife has the evo 4g lte. We live in San Antonio and have great lte signal on my sgn2. I was looking at some info on the antenna on the evo and found out which contacts were associated with the lte signal. So I adjusted the contact prongs that touch the back casing. Low and behold i started picking up consistent 4g signals on her phone inside our apartment. We tried everything else and no dice. The 4g would pick up and then drop off. The signal reception was just to weak. Doing so even helped boost 3g signal and speed. Hopefully this may help others so give it a try. Just open the back case and gently pry up the small metal prongs that touch the back case. Be careful not to break them. Just move them enough to make good consistent contact. And like everyone else says, I am not responsible if you break your phone. Use at your own risk.

do you think an outerbox would make a difference or not with the slight adjustment?
i just pulled the two on the left up slightly...to make it a little more elevated. i think i will test w/o a case today.
I dont think the case would make a difference. Just make sure the back cover makes good contact with all of the gold prongs.

I ended up taking the easy way out. My local Sprint store was just ordering galaxy s3 for anyone that came in with an evo. I added insurance and 3 days later went in with the phone.

I'm having several issues with my phone and am on the verge of selling it and my OG EVO and getting an S3 or S4.
I stupidly purchased the device during the pre-order period last May (b4 any user reviews were out).
I'm rooted and running a stock ROM by Viper: Stock Rooted 3.15.651.16 Odex
3.15.651.16 710 RD
Android 4.1.1
Kernal 3.4.10-g 014d33e
Hboot 1.12.0000
Unlocked via HTC
S-On
TWRP 2.3.1.0
Baseband 1.02.12.0427
Radio version unknown
TWRP version 2.3.1.0
I don't know what radios (forgot where to find that info).
My issues are:
Random re-booting several times (3 to 6) per day.
Very rarely connect to LTE (and I live in L.A and work downtown).
On the rare occasion that I do connect to LTE, my apps (like maps) report, "This app requires a data connection", and I am un-able to access the Internet (but they work when the 3G icon is displayed).
I have read opinions that we should update our phones firmware to receive the latest improvements. However, xHausx has a post with links to firmware files, but he recommends NOT updating your firmware if your phone is S On (which mine is).
So I'm thinking of trying another ROM b4 giving up. But I'm unsure if there is any advantage (or dis-advantage) for me to update my firmware.
I want to stay mostly stock. I would prefer to keep Google Now. But after almost one year and still unable to use the LTE network here in Los Angeles (rumored to be nearly 50% complete), I'm about done waiting. The 3G network is painful, and I'm in effect paying $85 a month for 450 voice mins and email, but not much else.
You are on really old radios for one thing.
Not sure if that will solve your issue or not. But it's worth a shot. I would s- off the phone and then do the firmware updates.
Your baseband #'s are the radios.

Ah!. Well, tells you how long it's been since I've delved into this.
I assume I can S-Off even though I did the HTC unlock?
And I still have the constant re-booting issue to fix. Factory reset maybe?
You can use FacePalm to S-OFF you will find it in Original Development it takes about 5 minutes or less
Then you can update all your firmware manually using Captain_Throwback's firmware files
Any questions shoot me a PM

I just got the firmware and radios updated this afternoon, so I'll be checking it out fr the next couple of weeks to see if it does any better with Internet and LTE.
As far as where to sell it? That depends on where you are. Ebay is great for most people, but it takes longer because you have an auction to deal with.
Craigslist is ok if you're in a densely populated area. I'll probably use EBay if I do sell it, just because I'm willing to take a little time to get the best price.
But I'm hoping I can fix my issues because I still have 14 months left on my contract, and Sprint doesn't pro-rate until about 6 months into the contract. So I'm probably looking at about $300 to end it.

I'm new to Android.. coming from iPhone and WP7/8.
I love the HTC one and paid cash for this phone. I hate being controlled by the carrier when it comes to updates.... I know now.. that next time I will buy a unlocked/developer version if available.
My question is this. Being that it is an AT&T version, can i unlock the boot loader (assuming they haven't stopped this yet) and enable receiving my software updates directly from HTC? Just like the Dev phones.
I'm not so interested in "rooting" and loading custom Rom's at this point.. i just want to make sure i get the updates ASAP.. I don't want to wait on AT&T. (I wouldn't mind deleting some of the AT&T crap off the phone though)
I have searched Google and this forum and can not find an answer that is in such simple terms that i understand it lol ... sorry if this is a stupid question.

You can unlock the bootloader, you'll need the carrier's help to SIM unlock. Check out the tutorial in the development section.

Also, I don't believe that T-Mobile 4G HSPA or 4G LTE will work on the AT&T version. (But I wonder if the T-Mobile version of the phone will work on AT&T's network?)
If you want to run on T-Mobile US, you need the T-Mobile US version of the phone.
