What companies does the international galaxy note work with in the u.s?....
T-Mobile and Straight Talk are the main two.

To be honest, any GSM carrier. There's really only two GSM carriers, T-Mobile and At&t. Since the GT-N7000 is unlocked for the two, almost any sim will give you service. Stick with straight talk if you wanna keep it cheap. $15 Sim, and $45 unlimited everything.

And how is your 3g ?? I see there is some problems with 3g on T-Mobile. Please response.
I'd like to buy Note but I hate contract plan's and I like fast 3g internet.

as has been posted many times on here and in the 3/4g tmo dev radio thread youre not going to get 3/4g unless you live in an area that tmo is using the 1900 frequency and thats out in the northwest... n7000 = 850/1900 freq tmo = 1700/2100 (except a Very select few areas that they use the 1900
as for the quick answer for anyone still wondering what carrier... any that uses the 850/1900 freq... the 1700/2100 ones are out of luck until bedwa or another dev finds a radio to flash to make it work...
well if any one is still looking to get a gnote on t-mobile, maybe you should wait.....the word is it coming out officially on tmobile.....no more hassles on making everything work on tmobile....lol....but its weird...now that i can get it for tmobile in a couple of months.....i want it on verizon/sprint cdma network....lol...does anybody know if its coming out on a cdma network?.....ive read about it coming out on cdma as the galaxy journal but when?...or the real question is....is it coming out on cdma at all?....lol..
This is correct, but woefully incomplete.
TMO is limited to EDGE with the Note given incompatible 3G wireless bands, so while it will "work", it will be a dog on data.
The only practical carriers for the Note in the USA are Straightalk and ATT

Dear all
Very exited to read that my home city is getting 4G at end of October. Does anyone know whether the N7000 will support Orange/EE 4G network?
A friend of mine went to the launch at the NEC and couldn't get a straight answer.
Thanks in advance

Nope. You need a phone with an LTE modem to use 4G which our N7000 doesn't have.
EE are releasing a Note II LTE for use on their network.
Thanks for the quick response! That's a shame.
When I bought the note orange told me it would support 4g. I realise that I should have checked the specs myself BUT do you think I can claim that ive been miss sold the device?

I bought the note 2 brsnd new condition but preowned .I am conflicted as to why I feel I may not be on a Official tmobile note 2 .My sim works fine I get H+ signal notification pull down shows Tmobile under battery white sticker says t889
But im wondering why my phone says gt N7105 in system settings about ???
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
This is what im seeing !
Is it at all possible it is am atat Note 2 but with t889 kernel
Could someone actually flash @ gt n7105 rom make it look to be the stock tmobile rom and never nandroid the stock t889 rom?Making this look like its stock
Im truly believing I was sold a atat note2 that simply supports tmobile 1900 band which they do since its penta band device cause I mainly get 3g icon rarely H+

I know our phones Hardware is exactly the same as the att note so my question is.. If it's identical hardware wise and with tmobile now has LTE wouldn't our phone be able to access the LTE? I'm on 10.1 and there is an apn that says tmobile LTE and I selected that. and in preferred network I put it on LTE/GSM/WCDMA... and the data all works and it does seem to be faster. I did a speed test and got 5 mpbs. I usually get 3-4....maybe I got partial LTE?? any expert advice is embraced! Thank you

I think you have to patch the radio to get it and even then, your battery takes a hit. I get a constant 10mbps down here in Los Angeles using the stock radio on HSPA+. If you are just changing your APN settings without patching, I'm not sure you are getting anything from LTE, especially if it's only 5 mbps.
Hey fraughtsiguewolf nice to see u reply... How or where can we find the patch?

I don't think there is one for our phone. I only saw it for the Nexus.

I just wanted to point out the HTC one lte antenna isn't the best. Just today I've traded the htc one for S4 I now have LTE signal at home.
I traded my S4 for the One and get way better speeds on LTE and 3g on the one

31 up and 9 down eh? Damn that's a fast upload speed.
This pretty much mirrors my own observations. I don't think it's just the antenna either - if you toggle data, you can get 4G in a lot of places with marginal signal on the One. Once that drops down to 3G however, it will never go back to 4G in that area unless you toggle data again.
Enjoy your S4. I'm sticking it out with the One in the hopes that Sprint/HTC fix the radio so it holds on to 4G better.
HTC phones are notorious for having not so great radios. Not saying it's necessarily true, but each of you can be the judge of that.
The newest radio works perfect for me. Signal is strong and switch off between 3g wifi and lte are quick

Sprint network doesn't seem to be all that good. On the sprint network it always seemed to drop 3g all together.
I also use my phone sprint HTC one in Kuwait with a different carrier and have had no problems with signal.

I don't think thats true. To an extent, sure, but this phone is a lot like the EVO LTE. It has a hard time holding onto 4G and getting it to actually switch to 4G sometimes requires toggling airplane mode on and off.
Too bad the S4 sucks as a phone and has touchwhiz.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4
First, the HTC One is made from aluminum which can disrupt signal. However, on my HTC One I have always gotten LTE when I was suppose to. Signal strength compared to my family's phones HTC Evo 3d, iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3, and a HTC Evo 4g lte.
I went from htc one to note2. I seem to keep a better consistancy, but it isnt like a night and day
I tweaked my one setting to scan more so I was able to hold it more than stock. But it has improved. I do miss my htc one but still love my note2

I don't think there's anything wrong with the radios. Just that HTC uses different values on the LTE settings. I was comparing my EVO LTE and Note 2 LTE values and I believe the EVOs values were higher. I'm sure that plays a role..

I consistently have LTE where my GF's Note 2 is on 3g. She has yet to have LTE, where I'm stuck in 3g.

Wait, srsly? Where in Boston are you getting this, if you don't mind my asking? I live about 14mi north and I get crappy speeds
I get this all day long. Always full bars and sometimes drops one or two but always gets back to full. Rarely see 3g.

At my work we have a very weak lte signal. Three of us have Sprint HTC ones, the rest has the s3, s4, and the Note II. The ones suck on weak lte signals. Constant drops, slower speeds, and according to the Signalcheck pro app, it's about ten dBm weaker. The note II is a beast on lte, and the s3 and s4 and much better as well.

I went from an original Evo 4G to the 4G LTE. This was weeks before the LTE rollout and it sucked. However, after roll-out, it still sucked. My wife got an S3 and her speeds were great, but more importantly, she could get (and keep) the LTE signal everywhere, whereas my EvoLTE could NOT. I went to the S3, then the Note 2 and had great speed and signal everywhere. However Samsung decided it did not want to support Outlook 10 anymore so I am back to HTC. My first day (yesterday) I was back to the HTC radios which cannot get and hold LTE signals as well as Sumsung.
It just is what it is.

Samsung has a slightly worse track record.
