The T-Mobile g2 comes with wcdma preffered as default in the *#*#4636#*#* menu so if you don't change it to lte/gsm/wcdma you will most likely not make use of LTE. At least I didn't for the few days before I changed it. Also it will revert when rebooted.

Thx it's just silly they advertise it as an LTE device and it has full capability of course. Even in the network settings it is set to LTE/wcdma/gsm but then basically disable it in the hidden menu.

Why do you even need to use that code? You can change it from the settings and they stick regardless of whether you reboot or not. I'll be reporting this thread. Sorry OP, but you've done nothing more than add a thread that is neither helpful nor factual.

As the topic says I am curious if anyone has made the switch to t-mobile and got everything working. There's a thread on the tmo forum about getting the AT&T variant working using QPST but they where asking for the QCN file from our version and I don't know if it's needed or if there's another work around. The AT&T/ TMO thread is here:

The guy that got that working on the att version still needs the qcn. The one he had didn't have all the nv's and was taken with older version qpst. It needs to be 2.7.374 or newer. He's still willing to work on it if you can get that to him.

You will only get edge data unless you are in a reframed area. Right now tmo 4g is on the 1900aws band which the Verizon note doesn't support

They do kind of just not that aws band. If you're in an area with the reframed towers you will 4g I'm not sure about there lte though.
I was only kind if joking though earlier. List your note on craiglist. I got 450 but sold within hours. Go to Walmart and pay 278 on contact with t mobile. Then call t mobile and mitigate your classic plan to a value plan for the 200 fee. You now have 60 a month and 478 for the phone.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
I would do that but I am still under contract and the bezel on my note has some nicks from falling out of my pocket before I got a case for it. That's why I am trying to use phone instead of selling.

Just tried switching sim card with a Tmobile friend. Tge Tmobile sim is a regular SIM that is too big for our stock microsim slot. A hardware mod is required or it may just be the fact that the SIM came from a S2.

You do realize that there are various sized SIM cards right? The original VZW LTE phones used the larger SIM card. The iPhone 5 uses a smaller SIM card.

Any ideas why this is happennig?

Cdma is different than gsm. You can't just pop in a sim and it'll work.

No, because one, there's a good chance the frequencies of the carriers don't match and two, the new carrier has to manually 'accept' his DNA, and unless you find someone who's about to quit their job to do it for you, it won't work.

The Verizon Note2 is unlocked and works with other carriers, so, no.
As for it not working with 4.3, I can't help there. I have used 4.1.2 with other carriers, and messaging worked fine.
is there a way to unlock the sim part of the phone to use it on a different gsm carrier like on the sprint HTC One?

I've asked that question before, Sprint's sim is different size from other carriers, according to people in here replies.

It doesn't have to be 90 days. I called the same day and did it. If the phone hasnt been active for 90 days they call you back in 48 hours and ask you security questions. Once you hang up the rep will email you the ulock instructions.

I have unlocked my phone and switched over to AT&T temporarily while away from home because T-Mobile is still stuck on edge where I summer. AT&T has strong lte in my area, yet I'm only able to connect to 4G. I've changed apn settings around and I know the g900t supports all the same bands as g900a...

You need to have your SIM card provisioned for LTE. You'll have to supply AT&T with an IMEI for an LTE capable device. It doesn't have anything to do with your firmware or device.
Have you tried going into the dialer going *#2263# and manually selecting the LTE band there?
I've called at&t and told them about the provisioning issue and they told me that my phone was properly provisioned in the system for lte. However, they probably just said that so I'd go away haha.
