I read few posts where they hint the AT&T Note is missing few features/apps that exist in the Canadian version (Rogers/Bell/Telus). Can someone with AT&T phone confirm the availability of these items on their phone:
1) Wifi Direct
2) Kies via Wfi
3) Tethering
4) NFC
5) Photo Editor
6) S Planner
Thanks.

Yeah, has anyone tried flashing a Canadian rom on the at&t version? It annoys me that I can't use the hardware I paid for.

It might work, I have a Canada Rogers Note and its says "1717" on the box.
Thats why I am hanging around this forum, I don't know where else to go lmao. I believe there is only this forum and the one for the international Note...am I wrong?

This is definitely the right forum. The phones are nearly identical except for a few little things. All the Roms and mods should work the same on our phones other than we might have to change to modem to work with our carriers.

Thanks guys.
The Forum name is confusing though...nothing against AT&T and its users but its really confusing and I was unsure if the roms, mods, etc would work on my device. But I was pretty sure there were only 2 versions basically so thats why I stuck around.
On a side note, I had owned the Galaxy Nexus and picked up the Note to compare the two to see what one I'd keep and what one I'd sell. Well the Note stuck around so you can see what I chose! Amazing device, can't wait for development to really pick up...if you are into digital art, games and media this thing is a dream!
re cdn vs us note
Yeah I was thinking that I'm kinda scared to use any roms made from the AT&T version on my canadian note, for fear of loosing functionality that I already have.
I hope the great developers here take that into account and offer Canadian ROMs

PLUS, it doesn't have the carrier logo/brand on the phone like the AT&T one.
I believe you can add remote controls to the list, found under settings/location and security/find my mobile, apparantly at&t had that removed for there own version of phone tracking, i havent tried it, but the option is on mine
Are you sure your nfc doesnt work? I can enable mine, i just havent tried it yet. Will try it today at work

1700 MHZ LTE disabled on ATT
I have noticed that the ATT Note does not work on Rogers LTE network. I think its because it does not have 1700 MHZ enabled for LTE . Perhaps ATT version only has 700 enabled for LTE.

Nope, the AT&T version uses both 700 class 17 and the AWS (1700/2100) bands for LTE. I don't know what band the Roger's LTE network uses, but if it is AWS (1700/2100) and the AT&T Note you are using is unlocked, then it will pick it up.
If you get a T-Mobile version of Samsung Galaxy Note (original), and sim unlock it, can you use it on AT&T network? How would be data speed? Edge only?
Re: [Q] Is it possible to use T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note on AT&T, Voice and Data?
Its only possible for those who take the time to search and educate themselves.
You will probably not like my statement, but I mean it in the most professional manner.
Just a basic Google search of using tmobile note on att network gives lots of help.

Really? I just did "a basic Google search of using tmobile note on att network" and guess what? Instead of getting "lots of help" I got NOTHING of that sort. Lots of reviews and such, oh yeah, there's something about using att note on tmoble network, just the opoosite of what I want to do.
Mods, please close the thread.
Re: [Q] Is it possible to use T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note on AT&T, Voice and Data?
Yes, you can sim unlock and use an ATT sim....however, you will only get Edge.

Here, let me break it down for you.
All those pages you mentioned (35 pages) about using att note on tmobile all say the same thing:
Unlock phone.
Flash t-mobile radio
Input APN
You want the same thing, but opposite networks:
Unlock phone
Flash at&t radio
Input APN
My apologies. Since you were a member of a development forum I thought you could piece things together. Maybe in the future, let people know you're not very knowledgeable. Everyone here gives very explicit help for newbies.
Why not head over to the t-mobile note forum. I looked over there and probably 1 out of 5 posts in the Q and A was your Q.
Id trade you my att galaxy note for your tmobile one.
I hate having to have a data plan,with the tmobile version I could stick to talk and text.Also this way you wouldnt have the hassle of getting data working.
let me know,I can send pics and stuff.I would also be willing to send first since im kinda new here and cang be vouched for yet.

I wish there was an exchange so members could trade for the best phone. Good idea.
I read a few threads and am confused, so I thought I would just ask. I have a few 4G LTE devices for Verizon and am ready to switch to AT&T. Let's just say that Verizon and I had an argument and it is time to switch. Plus I would be saving over $50 to switch to AT&T with a month to month with a BYOP plan.
I visited the AT&T store today and had them insert a SIM into my S4. I get the error "This SIM card is from an unknown source" in the banner. I get a signal strength and a H for where the data symbol 4GLTE is. Then it drops the signal and refuses to have a data connection. At this time the APN settings were NOT adjusted. This was a straight out of the box S4 rooted on NC5 with Android version 4.4.2. After messing with the S4 for awhile he moved to the S3 and entered the proper APN settings. It pulled data, but only at EDGE speeds or 1X. Also, my last device, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, has no way of editing the APN settings. It is NOT rooted and is still on stock firmware.
My questions are these:
1. Can this be done?
2. What do I need to do to the phone(s)/tablet to make it work?
3. Will I be able to get 4G speeds?
I do not want to purchase phones with AT&T today because I just don't have the money. I already have these devices, I just want to swap them over. I am comfortable with flashing using ODIN and even so far as using safe-strap. I have flashed some custom roms, but my phone is a daily grind phone and I really want something that works 90% of the time.
Thanks in advance for any help!

None of the codes work either:

That thread just asks if the SIM card would work and if they would need to flash a GSM ROM to their S4. That thread does not answer the questions I asked. I just gave my insight after a visit with the AT&T store. Store techs tend to not know as much as the XDA community. That is why I asked here. So no, it is not a redundant thread. I appreciate your answer, but it isn't what I am looking for. Not a straight up yes or no, this or that.
As for the GSM locks I discussed, it was from an experience I had with a Motorola Droid 2 and using it on a local GSM provider in the USA. So yes, that was pre LTE.

My point, which you apparently missed, is that there is no reason for starting up yet another thread to ask questions that have already been answered. That''s why I said that this is redundant.
OK, let me answer your questions.
1. Can this be done?
Yes, you can install an AT&T SIM, set up the APN, and it will work. What bands you get and what bandwidth you get depends on what bands AT&T are using in your area. You won't likely be able to get LTE speed; most likely just Edge. You can't fix that, as it's a limitation of the phone's radio hardware. Again, some people have made claims that you can flash the AT&T GS4 modem on a Verizon phone and change that, but that's pretty risky as it will likely brick your phone.
2. What do I need to do to the phone(s)/tablet to make it work?
It works, for some level of "work". If you're stock,some people have reported that the firmware requires CDMA for some functions, like SMS. I haven't verified that. I was able to send SMS with my phone and a UK SIM which uses the AT&T network.
3. Will I be able to get 4G speeds?
Not likely. For example, see here http://phandroid.com/2012/12/10/nexus-4-att-lte/ - the common band, LTE Band 4, has limited AT&T coverage.
I haven't gone over the specs of the two phones lately to match them up, so that may be worth looking at again.

Thank you for your answer. I decided to trade the phones into AT&T and get a credit towards a Samsung S4 and a Asus Padphone X. After I read a few more posts over the internet and a few more hours figuring out how LTE works I came across the answer. I did miss what you meant and I apologize. Again, thank you for your answer.
I recently switched carriers. From Verizon, I went to T-Mobile. As expected, I'm already having issues. I can RECEIVE texts, but cannot send them on 4G LTE (only when I unexpectedly get "H+"). I can also access the internet. I have contacted T-Mobile, but honestly, they don't seem to care about my issue. I already manually changed the APN. The only thing I can think of is that my phone is currently on Lollipop, which is not yet supported by T-Mobile. Could this be the root of all this? Any help would be appreciated.

Many of us have gone rounds with T-Mobile. Myself, I've also dealt with Samsung and Verizon as well. Haven't had a resolution since I believe May. One "fix" you can do is add a subject to every text. It'll send everything as an MMS. Another thing is if you're rooted you can go in and turn off LTE. So far, that's all I know of to help. Someone told me a particular ROM allowed them to text on T-Mobile, but I've only heard it from one person so far.
