Hi, I have been reading some posts in the Radio thread reporting that they are using the T-mobile Modem. It was unclear whether they had it working on the T-mobile network or just using the modem on the ATT network.
Is there anyone here using the Galaxy Note on T-mobiles 1700Mhz AWS 3G band and getting internet and sms and everything no problem?
I just want to make sure before I go out and purchase one for a lot of money and not have it working.
I will test it once my Note comes in on Wednesday.
My plan is to unlock it here [ http://www.cellunlocker.net/ ], then Odin a t989 modem and test away.
If anyone already has a Note is willing to try this then go for it.
The Att Note does NOT use the 1700mhz band for AWS. I am on my phone but if you want a link Engadget wrote a whole article on it.

Yes, because out of the box it doesn't work. The skyrocket required a t989 modem, so its safe to say this does also.
Now it very well could still not work even after a modem flash... but its worth a try

easy to say it's worth a try when it's not your money
my advice to the OP.....save your cash, wait for some other guy with money to burn to try it. Maybe itsjusttim would be kind enough to bust out the greenies to give it a whirl

Can people please stop referring to the Engadget post. All they are saying is that it will NOT work by just unlocking it out of the box. Please see I have posted some questions for Myriam on Engadget that posted that article and she said this article was only meant out of the box in her replies since most people will not root and stuff she was simply talking about out of the box.

I don't believe that one would work.. our best bet for that is to have a developer who is partial to T-Mobile and takes the version from the t989 and adds it to a rom.
I'm sure it could be done, but we would have to convince a dev to help.

As far as I'm aware, the Sprint Mega, like many Sprint devices, are strictly CDMA. The only exception I can think of is Crapple products which can be GSM unlocked with something called a GEVEY SIM which in my experience isn't exactly reliable. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the SIM card in most Sprint devices only controls the 4G LTE so it's sorta GSM but not really. My suggestion would be to look into getting the phones "flashed", or reprogrammed for another carrier. Here in my locality flashing CDMA devices to nTelos is extremely popular, as they have a $45 unlimited everything plan with no real data cap. They simply do a SLIGHT throttle after around 15GB. There are several other CDMA prepaid companies across the US. The only nationwide ones I can think of are Pageplus, Selectel, and maybe Straight Talk. All offer low cost unlimited plans. Some have data caps and throttling, but pretty good bang for the buck! Should you decide to try and flash for yourself, Wireless Workshop offers a "trial" account, if you can provide any kind of company information. We use them at our store and they can flash pretty much any major handset. All said and done, look into flashing those to a prepaid carrier, as these are AWESOME phones. Good luck!

Dude don't go telling everyone about how Sprint phones are strictly cdma. Im tired of people on these forums spreading misinformation. This is not the year 2008. Back then all Sprint phones were strictly cdma. Not so today and yes the Sprint mega has gsm capability. It's even listed in the settings, but is greyed out. So the Sprint galaxy s4 is strictly cdma too? Lol go do your homework.

"as far as I'm aware"
I was simply offering what I did/did not know for sure, and some information for a way to take it to another carrier that I DO know about. For one, I've never had a fully operational Mega in my hand to see that it offered a greyed out GSM menu in the settings. My bad, dude. :good:
In fact, I'm trying to resurrect one right now. Software is totally borked.
Anyway, good luck figuring out the GSM unlock!

I successfully unlocked the Mega to work on T-Mobile as well as the Sprint Note 3, Sprint Note 2 and Sprint S5
I'm working on making a program to UICC unlock the device without having to call Sprint to get it internationally unlocked, I also have a program that will open the service menu option to reprogram the phone if you cannot reach it through dialer codes.
Quite simple once you get the whole process down.

Technically no, they are not the same. However if you did find a way to Sim unlock, it would work overseas too.
I'm guessing you're looking for a free way to Sim unlock your phone. And as far as I know there is none. However people have had success with Chainfire's
RegionUnlock. It may or may not work I can't say, I don't even have a usable sim card to test it for you. But you have to be ROOTED for it to work. I hope I helped.:good::fingers-crossed:

yes, you can. others posts talk about domestic unlock after you unlock it by sprint only but me no, I CAN do it without SPRINT
Im willing to donate, but i need proof before and after unlock. At the moment, no one has been successful doing it without sprint unlock.
It's not that I believe is not possible, but the kind of scams these days, money have to be wisely used. Again. If there is proof, you surely receive my money. BTW, with what service provider u test it after unlock? And the internet speed if any?
Thanks in advance, and don't get me wrong. I dont want to be disrespectful to you.

PLease do not spread incorrect information. You do not need to be unlocked by sprint as the UICC unlock method was discovered back on nov 5th that several of us we active in. The unlock method was discovered by @Dest so please do not claim his hard work as your own. With that said, there is a unlock thread for all sprint variants of the galaxy phones if you search xda.

A donation is a voluntary decision and cannot be requested for work or unlocks or information. Either post the information and hope for donations or take it off XDA.

My thoughts exactly
The lack of development for this phone is the main reason I wish I didn't get this phone.
It's interesting that there isn't much development on this phone considering its one that seems to appeal to power users with Microsd support, battery removal and the secondary screen.
Well, I would think someone would have to figure out root first since the tmobile version is the only one with root so far.
People seem to be trying but it's slow going!
