ATT nexus one & kernels/ROMs

will the existing nexus one kernels/roms work with the att nexus one or is the difference in radio band a show stopper? Just ordered the att nexus one, and currently have a rooted Droid - not sure i could go back to an unrooted & unmod'ed phone

I'm assuming that by ATT you mean unlocked. Regardless, the Nexus One does not have the necessary hardware to use AT&T's 3G. Aside from this, they are compatible. It is the same phone.

No he means the verison thats comming out to be compatible with AT&T's 3G network

It doesn't seem as though Google released a different set of kernel sources for the AT&T Nexus One, so I would assume that all current ROMs are compatible with the new hardware revision.
I just ordered one, by the way.
will the existing nexus one kernals

Has anyone tried the latest cyanogen or baked goods on their ATT N1? I get mine tomorrow and want to make sure it is safe.

Backup your phone, and flash 5.0.4.1. If it works, great! If not? Restore your backup.
Only one way to find out! I get my ATT n1 tomorrow as well. It's going to make my current n1 sad.

Yes, it does now. It's a different model.
So the question remains - are the roms/procedures the same?

i got my att n1 today and the first thing i did was flashed cm 5.0.5 test 2 on it and all i can say its behaving just like the t-mobile one.
im loving the ability to use rogers 3g network since i hate using wifi.

3G Internet Issue

I just saw that early today was added a Fastboot Package for Claro Argentina (Milestone 3 XT860) in this thread: [Fastboot Files] Gingerbread 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 for UMTS XT860 Milestone 3 (Can't link, sorry).
Here is my problem: two weeks ago I was able to access internet from my XT860 using 3G from my house, but since the 24th of December I'm not able to (2G - EDGE works good). I don't know why. If I move two blocks away from my house I have perfect reception and I can use 3G data without any problems. I already took the phone no customer's service and they gave it back to me with another blur version but still it doesn't work. I'm making almost daily calls to Claro but they don't do anything.
Currently I'm using: 2.3.4 with 5.1.790. Should I expect any change if I flash the new files?
Thank you for your help.
P.S: I don't live inside a Faraday cage

That sounds more like a problem with their network. I don't know why your device would selectivly not work just at your house. That's an odd software bug.

Make sure your battery is fully charged, recently another user borked his phone as it died during flashing. I have a thread called xt860, custom roms and you that has a full guide on fastboot flashing, rooting and custom roms

I think its with their network, or perhaps physical interference from something nearby. I can't think of why it would selectivly not work only at your house if it was a hardware/software issue it would be either all the time or totally random. Try mapping out the area where it cuts in/out and report it to your carrier.

I've already reported it. Several times. But they just answer "the computer shows that the antenna is working fine, you shouldn't have any troubles". I call every day to complain about it but they just don't do anything.

[Q] Stock, unbranded, UK firmware

I have a I9305 purchased from Hong Kong which came loaded with HK firmware, whilst it would have worked, for various reasons I want to install UK firmware, specifically official/stock versions. (I have run custom ROMs on other handsets in the past, just going to stay official for a while with this one)
I don't want any carrier-specific stuff on there, nor so I want to be held back (in the future) waiting for carrier-specific upgrades etc.
I have a few, hopefully yes/no questions:
1. I've search and as far as I tell you there is no unbranded, UK, stock firmware available, is that correct? (guess this is because nobody's selling it unbranded in the UK yet)
2. Is the best thing to do to monitor sammobile and samsung-updates until I see what I want?
3. When I finally do get my hands on the firmware I'll flash it with Odin - will I automatically get subsequent updates via Kies/OTA?
I'm current running I9305XXALK3 for region DNF...which I thought might be international/country-agnostic but since the default language it offered me on first boot was Suomi I guess it's actually for Finland!
The phone works fine, but it's only Android 4.1.1 and obviously I'd like to get on 4.1.2, I suppose another country (e.g. Germany) but unbranded is ok...but not perfect
Apologies for the long, first, post, hope it's not too annoying...I'm just excited about retiring my Hero and enjoying this new beast!

Thanks for the response...but those are all EE branded, will that:
1. mean I have to wait for EE to approve future updates? (I'm thinking once we have unbranded/unlocked handsets in the UK they will receive upgrades first)
2. have any effect on the network e.g. performance, connectivity etc.? (I'm currently on 3, not EE/Orange)
Thanks for any additional info

No and there is no EE branding or bloatware just pure stock.

Seriously!? - OK, that's great news - thank you for your help

hmmmmm...
OK, I've installed the latest i.e.
PDA: XXBMA6
PHONE: XXBLL5
CSC: EVRBLL1
A couple of observations:
1. As others have noted, the mobile network modes are limited to just 2 (2G/3G/4G auto connect & 3G only) whereas the previous firmware I was using had 4.
2. With the previous firmware it seemed to hold an H+ connection much better, with this firmware it seems to drop back to 3G+ most of the time.
Any thoughts? It would seem that this firmware, despite being official, is more limited than some others.
I'm not overly concerned with #1 (although does 3G only really mean just 3G or will it also use GPRS if that's all it can find?) but #2 (and I realise I haven't done any structured testing!) does worry me - I want the fastest speeds I can get as often as I can!
My gut feeling is that EE's firmware might not be optimal for those who want to operate on non-4G networks. (what does the Vodafone or O2 firmware have?)
Does anyone know for sure what's different and why?

Over active imagination?
Have flashed 3 different firmwares today

^this I think is a mistake on my part, I've played around a bit more and it looks like (but could be my imagination of course!) that the phone jumps up to H+ on demand e.g. refreshing a web page causes it to switch up from 3G+ to H+ once the page is loaded it reverts to 3G+.
Am I going nuts?

What you are seeing is called fast dormancy. Its kind of a battery saving feature hence why H+ is not always on. Most networks support this nowadays.

@big-nose.
Can I ask, did you get the phone from Simply Electronics? Im currently waiting on mine arriving and since I ordered it have found out that their main warehouse is in HK, so I think I will be getting the same phone as you.
Im on Orange just now and when my contract is up will switch over to EE for the 4G, so will probably just flash the EE Firmware whenever the phone arrives.
Cheers

I got mine from Panamoz...but all the Hong Kong dealers probably obtain the phones via the same routes.
Have to say I'm impressed with Panamoz so far, ordered at 2130hrs on Sunday evening and delivered to me in the UK on Wednesday. The real test will be if I have to use the warranty...but obviously I'm hoping that day never comes anyway!
My only comments are:
1. Mine was packaged for the French market e.g. the mains charger is for French sockets, the instructions are in French etc. (Panamoz did put a free mains adaptor in the package to deal with the charger) Wonder if any other options besides French were available, would have been nice to know this up-front.
2. The initial screens were in Chinese and if you're not familiar with Android you might not know that the first thing it asks on initial boot is what language you want to work in...I think it'd be handy if Panamoz provided a piece of paper with brief instructions and a screenshot explaining how to switch the language, otherwise some people might panic!

Thanks for the feedback.
I have actually just cancelled my order. 2 Weeks after placing the order it still hadnt been dispatched, and I was wanting it for this weekend. I'll just pop down to the local Orange shop and buy it there, its only £50 dearer so i can handle that ok.
Still using my trusty S1 just now but looking forward to the upgrade.
Cheers

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

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...

VZW G2 - Traveling out of country

Hi guys. I'll be heading to South America(Uruguay) in two weeks. I have heard that I can use a SIM card down there and get service on my phone. How exactly does this work? I would assume the G2 is unlocked since it's a 4G phone. I had heard the FCC wanted Verizon to unlock all 4G phones for GSM purposes. So my question would be, how do I make this work? I planned on borrowing a very old T-Mobile phone (MyTouch) and popping in a SIM card from ATCEL. It's in Spanish but here's the phone on that site. It states GSM and LTE I think.
http://www.antel.com.uy/antel/personas-y-hogares/movil/equipos/lg-electronics/lg-g2
Would I just have to buy a SIM and pay two weeks of service? I'd plan on using a stock ROM like XDABEBBS or Steel Droid. Or should I focus on using something from CM?

Exactly. VS980 is full unlocked for any GSM network. I live in Russia, so I bought this phone to use in my Russian operator "MobileTeleSystems", so it works perfectly. You should take microSIM card. But LTE will not work, only 3G.

I can live with that for a couple of weeks. So what would I need to do? Just power off the phone and insert the new SIM card or do I have to factory reset? I'll be running a stock rooted Rom.

No factory reset needed. Just turn the phone off, switch SIM cards, turn it back on and you should have service. I think I had to enter APN settings to get 3g data working properly in Honduras, but voice and text worked fine with no special settings. You should be able to Google the settings for ATCEL if you need to

Yeah that looks like all you need. If ATCEL had any other weird requirements I'm sure they'll be able to let you know when you get down there, assuming you find someone who speaks English. You might want to download the Spanish language packs for Google Translate before you head down there if you don't speak Spanish
