Just curious, does anyone else think a cmda version of the note will come? I've seen rumors of the galaxy journal, but nothing set in stone, just trying to gather some opinions

That was a joke, right? CDMA is sooooo 20th century!
Seriously, in Oz it used to be the canines testicles. With a crap CDMA phone I managed to get a signal from 45 kms away, and that can save your life in the outback. The signal goes in and out, as you'd expect from longwave radio, but it was at least there. Nobody else had had anything for 30 kms or more.
I now have a sat phone as a life-saver, and that is better than CDMA any day.
Looks like Samsung is pushing the note now, what with the Super Bowl commercial, so it'll be a good chance it'll come to Sprint and Verizon. I'll stick with my GSM version.

That's a really good point. I'm hoping they'll release a cdma one. I have Verizon and sadly wouldn't be able to switch to at&t cause of my unlimited data.
Would love to be able to join the rest of you with the monstrously awesome phone!

Actually there is such a device. It's customized for China Telecom, and very strange I cannot find any specs on samsung site, only some news press articles.
Here in China the device is available right now and I'm going to get one
Hello all,
I have been in the market for a Samsung galaxy note for a while now. I wanted to get the unlocked version of the phone since I am with T-Mobile. Now as I researched a little more about the phone I came to know there are two different versions which are N-7000 and i-717. Also as i came to find out the N-7000 version does not support T-mobile 4g. Most of my other research also came up with a result that everyone recommend N-7000 version over i-717 because of the processor. I personally like the N-7000 because of the center home button.
I came up with this thread where it flash's the radio of the note and I was being told by one of my friend that this will allow you to be able to use it with t-mobile 4g.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518962
As it says its only for att galaxy note so I am assuming this will not work with the international version of the note or the N-7000 version.
My job requires me to stay on the road most of the time and its really important I have high speed internet on the phone. I am from fort lauderdale, florida.
So my question is-
1. Which version of the phone should I buy?
2. The link posted above will this work with N-7000?
3. Is there any way to work the N-7000 with T-mobile 4g by flashing the radio or anything else?
4. If yes, can any of you please post a step by step instruction on how to make it work. If possible please be elaborate with your steps as I am super dumb when it comes to do hacking and all that.
5. Will the new N-7000 comes with ICS? Does that require any special thing to be done with the phone in order to work with the T-mobile 4g?
I really appreciate all your help in advance. I would be really honored if you guys can respond back as soon as possible.
Thanks
TASVIR
if your job requires fast internet, you should conclude your research and get the i717. The international note won't fit your life style. At this time, it will NOT support tmobile 4g.
Thanks.
But the i717 requires the flashing of the radio and unlocking as well to work with t-mobile 4g? Just like my link on the post mentioned?
you can unlock i717 by buying code online for $25 and about 10mins of time researching and flashing it. It's really easy. I've had i717 for tmobile myself and found out that i dont' need all the time internet. sold it...and got the n7000

So you had i-717 and then you sold it and got the n7000. If you dont mind me asking what made you switch? Is the phone is not worth all this? I am assuming now you are using the n7000 for tmobile's 3g? Hows the speed on that? if the speed is okay would you recommend n7000 over i717 based on the processors of the phones? does your n7000 required any rooting work with tmobile and its internet?
Have you looked around to see if T-Mobile is or will be offering 1900MHz HSDPA+ in your area? The N7000 supports 1900MHz on it's '3G' radio.
I just checked yes they do have 1900MHz in flortlauderdale. FL
Does this means the galaxy note N-7000 will work with t-mobile 3g as soon as I put the sim in the phone?
also
samsung-sgh-i717r-galaxy-note-lte-rogers-wireless from canada and at expansys they are selling it unlocked for 489$
Is this the same as the att galaxy note? with the root will it work with t mobile and its 4g network? I only ask cause this is cheaper than the att version of the note and it is Gnote SGH-i717R instead of Gnote SFH-i717.
This phone is driving me crazier than my ex-girlfriend.
I sold my i717 because I travel a lot oversea and I don't need the LTE feature. I sacrificed that for the better processor and smoothness. Also, I am around wifi most of the time...and I don't use much of internet when I am on the road. Speed wise, it's decent for my use....regular internet, email...and so forth. Not fast...but doable. It fits my life style better. Like I said, you've mentioned that you're on the road a lot that require fast internet access, so I suggested i717. As far as the 1900mhz in your area, don't count on it......you will need to experience it. Call tmobile and find out, or get 1900mhz phone and test it. heck you can even buy the n7000 and try....and if it doesn't work out, sell it and buy the at&t.

Thanks yellowpad. I saw a video on the snapdragon and exynos processor. Bit scary. If with high internet speed does not work because of the processor that would such a shame. I will get the N-7000 and try. I called t-mobile and found out they support 1900 in my area. Its a hit or miss situation. Would you reccomend any site to buy it from? I tried calling expansys for million times as they dont pick up the phone and they say they are #1 in customer satisfaction. LOL
I would just wait a month for the Tmobile version, I believe its coming out the first week of july. unless you dont care about data speeds, then get whatever, but I'd rather wait a few more days and have a fully compatible device in my hands, just my humble input!
As far as i know they have different CPUs and N7000 is supposed to handle hd videos and 3d graphics better. Also, N7000 seems to have better support over here simply because it's more popular.

Thanks for your input. You know I have been researching on that as well from last night. They are saying its coming out on the 11th of July. May be before that or after. Fully compatible with T-mobile network. I would wait for that before I get mine. Only thing that scares me is if it comes with the snapdragon processor. Which is a joke over exynos processor. You can go to youtube and check some of the video's of the differences.
Samsung also said to expect snapdragon processor on all the US bound phones. So at this point i guess we only have to keep our fingers crossed and wait for the best.

Yah the N-7000 comes with exynos processor and i-717 (ATT Version) comes with snapdragon. N-7000 has better processor but low speed data and ATT is high speed data but a very slow and unsophisticated processor (if you compare with the N-7000)... its just up to the customer if they would sacrifices data over processor?? In my case I WANT BOTH...

Does Samsung GT-N7000 (International) work with Tmobile USA 4G?
Hi guys,
So far I have a been reading around and not really find an exact answer.
Let me ask some questions one more time.
1. Can Samsung GT-N7000 (International Version) be flash with Tmobile radio 4G to make it work with Tmobile USA 4G?
2. Anyone using a Working Samsung N7000 flashed Tmobile Radio 4G? If so, which area of USA?
Someone please be kind and advice.
Thanks in advance
I am positive that I came across a thread in the Skyrocket section that was titled for and provided a tool to port any Skyrocket ROM to ....? (some device that I can't recall). I can't find it now (been searching about 45 mins) but am positive it was there. Anyone know what I am referring to?
My point to the above is that it would seem with the similar hardware that tool could be used (with some modification) to port to the i957. I have a current interest in this as I hope to pick an i957 up soon.
*I came across the tool because I recently got an ATT Note and DT at droidhive ported a Skyrocket rom to it (which was showing before droidhive was hacked). I went looking around to see what was interesting in the skyrocket area here and found the tool. Really wish I would have noted the url.

I have both the skyrocket and the i957. I believe the thread you are referring to was a tool to port T989 (Tmobile) to I727 (ATT) and vice versa. I am also interested in porting skyrocket roms to the i957. I think the difficulty lies in the fact that the i957 only has a honeycomb kernel, and using the skyrocket ICS kernel could cause a brick. I would like to look into it further though, and may inquire within the skyrocket forums later today.
Yeah finally found the hellraiser tool again. Forgot they never released hc source so porting is a pain. Good luck with the other forum. I got my Note the day ics rolled out so maybe i will buy the 957 soon and bring us all some good fortune.

Honeycomb is actually pretty sweet on a tablet, and the i957 ICS update from Samsung is currently in test at ATT.
If you want a hacker's tablet, get a tegra-based tab already supported by Cyanogenmod

Thanks for the heads up but I def have done a lot of research. I want the ATT LTE version for the cpu (not a tegra fan). I'm not even on ATT so I will just use it with my vzw Mifi like my Note. I really wish Verizon would get a phone with a decent screen size (phablet). I know the dev community for the i957 is small but will be fine with it at least on ICS with it debloated and deodexed. I don't want honeycomb because I always immed increase the dpi in ics/jb so nothing shows in tablet mode. I can't stand tablet mode and small icons.
*Plus since it's Qualcomm I'm hoping I can reverse the work done getting Bionic to work on GSM and maybe get this puppy and my Note working on Verizon. Maybe not possible but I'm willing to tinker...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297714
EDIT: Unlike GSM the CDMA networks have a database of MEID/ESN numbers that they allow to activate. Maybe I can get away with using my SIM that's already activated in a verizon phone. Part of the trick is to not go through the activation when updating the radio. Who knows...

100% with you on this, I hate having to wear glasses to read crap on my tab. A big part of the reason I got it is so I can read on it and pinch zoom the text bigger, but more than half the apps are unreadable.
I can't wait til you get this working.

Hopefully this means if I can get my Note working on vzw using the reverse qualcomm hack for bionic I can flash the radio to the 8.9 and that would work as well. Already excited about trying this stuff out and don't even have a 8.9 yet.

If dan-htc has already flashed Note radios on the 8.9 then likely flashing the current Note radio would be a step toward getting working ATT network phone capability on the 8.9. Not sure about the required hardware related pieces that may or may not exist in the 8.9.
For my purposes - There is a firmware hack that gets a qualcomm chipset with only cdma radio firmware to work on a gsm network. I'm hoping the similar qualcomm chipset found in the Note and/or 8.9 currently only with gsm radio firmware can be hacked to work on a cdma network. I only need the hack to allow for data so any additional hardware in the device that may be required for voice won't matter.
So basically I hope to get an ATT Note and/or ATT 8.9 working with a VZW sim card for data.

Did you ever get this working? I'm particularly interested in getting the tab 8. 9 working with a verizon sim
Does it have a Snapdragon or an Exynos? If you're not sure, you can check your /system/build.prop file. Open it up and look for the line that starts with ro.board.platform. Thanks in advance! I know Sprint has a Snapdragon, but I think that's there by necessity due to Spark and needing to do TDD-LTE on Band 41. That's why I'm curious about Verizon and AT&T.
AT&T is the only US carrier selling the 8.4" LTE version and it has an Exynos, so I'd assume the 10.5" versions do too unless they have a specific need for a Snapdragon.
We are lucky, I suppose. Verizon Tab S comes with the Snapdragon.
Thanks! So Verizon is now accounted for. How about AT&T? Anyone?
Sent from my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 using Tapatalk
My AT&T 10.5 807A has Exynos.
ro.board.platform=exynos5
Wish I had snapdragon, but I haven't noticed any slowness or hesitation. But battery life is awful, and with no root I don't know how to remedy that.
Define awful.
Sent from my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 using Tapatalk
I'm wondering if the Snapdragon, in this case, is due to CDMA2000. Maybe Exynos processors don't play nice with CDMA thus the Snapdragon processors on Verizon and Sprint's models.
Sent from my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 using Tapatalk
For what it's worth I can also confirm that my t807 (Verizon) has a Snapdragon. As an LG/HTC guy I am very, very happy with the purchase as that snapdragon does a good enough job at providing me with a smooth experience with the only lag/stutters happening with a bunch of apps working the cpu at the same time.
The Exynos 5 in my AT&T 8.4 seems to work well too, but I'd have loved a Snapdragon.
Sent from my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 using Tapatalk
Yes, I love my Verizon snapdragon version. The only big downside (and hopefully this will be rectified soon) is no root-- which is a big deal with KitKat's restrictive SD card policies.

Oh I have no problem rooting a device. I just find it pointless. Once I knew how, my curiosity was satisfied. I don't do anything with any of my devices that requires root so I just leave mine stock. The whole rooting and custom ROM scene just doesn't interest me nearly as much as it used to. haha

It's not possible. The tablet is missing the actual hardware needed. This isn't exclusive to AT&T. Samsung has never once sold a tablet in the United States that has this capability, whether it's AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile or Sprint. None of the US carriers want a tablet that doubles as a phone because they wouldn't be able to sell it as a tablet. They'd have to sell it as a phone, which nobody would want, and they'd have to sell talk/text/data plans with it which are more expensive than data-only plans.

The original Galaxy Tab sold by AT&T was able to be hacked into a phone, albeit without a earpiece, so you had to use speaker or headphones, but it was an awesome device.

Definitely! Thanks to xda members, I was able to mod my Tab and use it for quite a while as a phone with a bluetooth earpiece. Worked great, until AT&T finally caught onto it and made us pick a tablet data and/or phone plan. Funny thing was I ended up just picking a tablet data plan that cost quite a bit less and used Google Voice and Skype for calls.
Hello to those that came here,
First, I just came from the S4 to the S5 yesterday, got it rooted last night and I'm on OC4. It's an AT&T 900A. I loved my S4 and I absolutely refuse to get the new Galaxy iS6. No replaceable battery? No expandable memory? WTF Sammy!!!! Anyways.....
Ultimately what I'm after is a ROM similar to CM12. From what I gather, CM isn't fully supported for the AT&T S5. They used some extra little tweaks that I really liked, such as a 'reboot to recovery' in the power menu.
Is there anyone here that has used CM and the ROMS for S5? There doesn't seem to be near as many for this device. I am just unfamiliar with them and looking for advice. I'd prefer to stay on Lolli as I'm sure it'll improve, but JB was by far my favorite.
Thanks for any insight!

OC4 on AT&T limits your options on custom roms. @talkingmonkeys has been deving for Kitkat and made an excellent rom called Extreme Dynamic Kat. Looks like he is getting ready to put out something for Lollipop now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60357236&postcount=884
is the starting point for that. Keep a look out for Twi5ted v4 rom , several people have gotten that to work. Read everything you can. Best of luck to you.
Well, that sucks about not being able to use CM.
I guess Samsung doesn't really feel the 'open source' aspect of AOSP fits their needs.
Thanks for the feedback.
I'll keep an eye on those ROMs.

It is not Samsung, it is At&t. You could go to T-Mobile and buy the same exact phone flat out for 600+ bucks, take it to At&t and buy a Sim, and have a phone with an unlocked boot loader free to flash away. Let this phone be the final lesson in "research phones before you buy" and "voice your opinions with your wallet".

It all depends on where you live:
ATT and T-Mobile have a few overlapping bands, but not all. If you're in a market where they don't overlap, you may be stuck on H+ .

ATT uses bands: 2, 4, 5, 17
T-Mobile uses bands: 2, 4, 12
