Craigslist guide to finding a N1?

I am looking to pick up a Nexus One off craigslist and I am just wondering if there is anything I need to know and look for to get a Nexus One that will fully work with Tmobile?
A few questions:
Will an unlocked ATT Nexus One work for me on Tmobile and if so will it do both Edge and 3G for me on Tmobile. What problems might I run in to?

The ATT and Tmobile phones have different 3g connectivity. If you are on tmobile's network, you will want a Tmobile phone. The good news is, you will probably have a much easier time finding a Tmobile Nexus one for sale, as they have been available much longer, and many people using ATT bought a Tmobile one as they were not available originally on ATT.

Thank you Cirkustanz, that was what I was wondering.

[Q] T-Mobile (T879) Note vs AT&T (I7171)

I am looking to upgrade from my Galaxy S 4G to a Note, and I have been reading a lot about speed issues with the I717 Note on T-Mobile's network. It sounds like the Blaze modem and a up-to-date ROM is the way to go, but would it be better to start out with a T-Mobile Note?
The T879's are more expensive on the used Market right now, so if they are equal, I would rather get a I717.

The I717 Dev section is more active although it would really depend on what network you are planning to use it on

If you're on t-mobile I would go with the t879 if you can find a good deal on one. I had the i717 for about a week and was not happy at all with data speeds. It was better when I installed the stock t-mobile rom and modem but I ended up getting a week old t879 on craigslist for $450 so I had to get it. The speeds are a lot better with the t879 but I do miss all of the options for custom roms that the i717 has.

[Q] Can Galaxy Note GT-N7000 work with Tmobile USA 4G/HSPA+?

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to flash a Tmobile Radio Modem to get Tmobile USA 3G/4G/HSPA+?
I know it's been confirmed that an AT&T Galaxy Not i717 will work with Tmobile 4G/HSPA+ if it's properly flashed with Tmobile modem.
Has anyone tried the method like this link below but flashed to an GT-N7000 (International Version):
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...e-3g4g-hspa-on-your-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717/
Please help because I don't want to take the risk to brick my Note N7000.
TIA

Does not work. Tmo in usa is limited to 2g only except in tiny pockets where tmo has installed the frequencies used by att on their own network. This is supposedly mostly for iphone users on tmo, and may be extended. But aside from these tiny pockets, 2g ONLY.

hmm N7000 and the I717 have totally different hardware radios and other internal stuffs....
I think 2G means EDGE. Flashing Tmo modem on an unlock N7000 'might' work in receiving 3G/4G HSPA* but it might a the end of the day, change back to Edge again....
What that guy on your video showed is he can get 4G signals on Tmo but the big question on that is... is it always persistent throughout at the end of the day (that his phone can get the real thing?)
My take, don't install something that's only a temporary fix if it just means temporary only....

ATT Galaxy Note 1 (i717) on T-mobile?

Anyone done this? There seems to be some gray area on data services. I don't mind flashing a new rom to obtain 4G, which ive read one person has done.
Anyone accomplished this move?

Yes a lot of us have done this... Im running stock tmobile ics wth blaze modem.. Om my att note

Yep, running Jedi with Blaze modem.
Chicks dig it. T-mobile on my AT&T branded note.

Hi. As long as you have the correct modem to pull in 3g/4g you can run any rom- tmobile or att. I have the modem UVLG3modemfori717_gt-n7005amss. Works just as good as Blaze for me.
Ran Jedi and was very happy with it. Now am running Jedi-sons of android(att by ptmr3) 4.2.2

I woud LOVE to run an At&t JB rom. But i need wifi calling at my house since T-Mo has no towers close by. Wish someone could/would figure out how to get WiFi calling on that rom.

that's the main reason I stick with stock rom [mine sgh-t879], rooted, and way debloated.
fabulous device really. 2 days of batt life [i turn it off when I sleep], lean, mean, fast, beautiful.
I use wifi exclusively in home home-office and every other place I get a chance, which as everyone knows is an increasingly long list.
the only 'bug' I have at the moment is something sporadically defeating NoLED which I use for notifications, and that Noozozide [a fabulous app] doesn't like something in there... probably the google play player. haven't had time to sort that yet.

I was reading that the tmo wifi app was figured out to work on another android phone(can't remember what one)- they altered the build prop and hacked the apk. Too bad no one is interested in doing this for the ATT note There are so few ATT Notes running on tmobile. Once they are out of contract- another year or so, and they will be moving on to newer phones. Jedi4 worked for me as far as wifi calling- but I have no need at present for the wifi calling feature, but it is great when you need it!
I was looking into the new tmo uncarrier plans and thinking about getting the iphone5 to add to my android collection- but no wifi calling for it. At least not initially, and they are being coy about future plans for it. If I am gonna get a new tmobile phone it should have wifi calling. Am going to europe in the fall and it will come in handy!
I love my note- really do, but there are times I would love a smaller phone to slip into my pocket and go. The Note is huge- at times a great thing, at times a not so great thing. New Iphone will rescue my itunes and make music an easier managed thing on the computer. Doubletwist and air sync just isn't the same. Might have to get my apple hacking tools sharpened!

the sgh-t879 is just fabulous and a bit of a bargain, though the i717 is typically a tad less in pristine condition.
As far as I know samsung T-mo variants have the Wifi calling very solid but I don't know what to expect going international - you obviously need a world phone multi-band.
we have the SII, the "S 4G" and the Note - all deliver the beans well on wifi. The Blaze does also and is the better choice vs. the S 4G, as we've found out.
I understand what you mean about smaller size - you may have to go Nexus but I despise the fixed battery [the life is not great...do not let anyone fool you] and lack of removable storage. if you want to go cheap, get the LG optimus L9... its a great phone to use just out of the box debloated: wifi is excellent. the knock is there's not many hacks for it since LG made it difficult. those can be had for 250 bucks and sold for nearly the same as it gets terrific user reviews. around here [austin tx, san antonio etc] some steals come around on craigslist ... people get those with a contract upgrade for free, then sell on c'list to go buy a note or some other thing. have seen new ones for $175

I just wanted to chime in for a moment. I acquired a att note from eBay a couple of weeks ago and I am running the jedi 4 ROM and WIFI calling is great with no hiccups. It's fast and beautiful. Now mind you I am coming from a gs2 before the jellybean upgrade. In fact the second day my wife had the gs2 was when the update was pushed out. Moving on since I am rambling, i love my note it fits right in with my nexus 7. The only thing I wish was that jellybean was out officially I require WiFi calling......

Access LTE on T-Mobile
Hi just wanted to chime in. If T-Mobile has LTE in your area, you can access it by using the stock AT&T Rom and Modem. Just root it and Debloat it. Here's some of the speeds I've been able to get. The only thing, When I'm sitting at my desk at work, I have to switch to a different modem to pick up 3G and HSPA+ (21.6 Mb/S) I will say every test that I did using the stock AT&T modem was higher than any other modem I used.

Everyone seems to be talking about wifi calling.. how well does normal calling work? how is the signal over all? is it worth it to get an AT&T version and try to use the blaze modems instead of getting the T-Mobile version?

Just use jedi leader ics 4.0.4 it has wifi calling and stable...for tmobile version...

hey guys, i got my wife an ATT Note for Tmo. All i did was unlock it put in her Tmo sim and that was it. No root, or rom, or any different radio flashing. She only gets 4g no LTE though. Is there a way to get LTE??

[Q] flash AT&T on verizon note 3?

So my father in law pre-ordered a note 3 for me.
Yet I am not on Verizon. I am on AT&T.
I have been flashing for years on my androids, But, I am unsure if I can flash AT&T firmware to make it work properly on my network. (at least until I start flashing other roms!) Any help would be good.
I don't want to sell or trade it in, MY Wife would be sooooooo pissed!!! she would definately know.
So, can i just reflash AT&T firmware on the verizon phone?
Thanks in advance.

From my understanding nope. Something to do with the bootloader. To be totally honest I don't know the details, I just tried to find that out a year ago when looking for phones on craigslist.
Tell your wife there's nothing you can do and sell the thing. It's not that big of a deal really. You'll get a pretty penny for it and will be able to have almost the entire price of a new one from verizon.

Vzw is cdma and att is gsm the phone will not work. There is no fixing hardware in the phone

Yup, won't work. Even if you could flash the ATT ROM, the hardware is different.

I have a similar question. Can I flash international and other gsm roms on a tmo note.?
Like I can on my s4?

Just switch to Verizon and cancel ur AT&T service. It is impossible to flash AT&T onto verizon device.

what? Why? What kind of relationship are You in!?

The posts here are ALL INCORRECT...... YES Verizon is a CDMA carrier, But what does there LTE run on??? GSM....
NO you cant flash AT&Ts Note 3 rom on a Verizon note 3. Just pop your AT&T Sim card in, Set up your APN and set the phone to GSM only and BAM it just works no root no mod no nothing.
You WONT get LTE, Only 3G and Edge.
This works on the Verizon Galaxy S3 and the Verizon Galaxy S4....

Some necessary info . . .
"You WONT get LTE, Only 3G and Edge"
The S4 will work perfectly on AT&T, by simply calling them and asking for a free SIM card, assuming you are an AT&T customer. And, LTE works perfectly, as well.
~Speaking from experience.

the verizon note 3 is already factory unlocked all you have to do is go into the settings and click GSM and set ur apn settings and you will not get LTE but you will have hspa+ and full talk and text with no issues
