I cannot seem to get my T mobile Note 3 to work on ATT LTE. I used the settings under APN that has been posted on this forum to no avail. I just get a circle with a line through it. Thus far all I can get is 4G using APN Cingular.WAP.
thanks.

If you gave them your IMEI number, it thinks its a dumb phone and your stuck with 4G. Rep is stupid and cannot fix it, just spent 20 minutes on the phone dealing with this issue.

Correct, I told the rep ( as I remember reading it on here ) to put it as a smartphone android. How do I go about getting them to register the IMEI of a non ATT phone as a smartphone on their system?
Thanks.

Thanks for your response. Mine was already on LTE/WCDMA/GSM but to no avail. Do I have to give ATT a smartphone LTE IMEI number to get this to work?

T-Mobile and Cricket perform on different Basebands.
There is no way to use a T-Mobile Firmware on a Cricket radio and get data.
You'll get data, just no 4G or above
Hi I have the t-mobile note 4 and use cricket wireless with 4g LTE data working fine. The only thing I can think on is when you flash roms does cricket sent the auto apn setup, if not are you entering the app settings manually? I'm stock and everything is fine, popped in cricket Sim and got text from them seeing new phone and got apn setup.
Yes I'm on stock rom with root on a tmobile note 4 it's just when I flash a rom I lose data at&t owns cricket now so u can use a GSM phone on cricket
I got it guys had to play with apns but got lte working
Hey any chance anyone could do me a solid and post all the tmobile apns that come stock on the device? Please and thank you

Sorry, I haven't used it on any other networks yet, I just unlocked it so that I can if I need to use a different sim sometime or want to switch over to an AT&T mvno later. Sorry, maybe someone else can help you out!
Resolved: Wouldn't connect to T-Mobile networks, connected fine to AT&T. Guessing it was band limitations. (Should have checked bands.)
Here in California, USA and can't seem to even connect to the 2G/3G services on T-Mobiles networks. Popped in my SIM card last night and got a MetroPCS banner for about a second. Haven't been able to get it to work since. Always no bars, no service. Any tips?
Here's a screenshot of my lack of signal. I seem to get signal for a second, then it just disconnects. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
I bought new xiaomi m5 and straight away got problem with the touchscreen. If anybody had similar problem, will go to the shop to see what they say anyway.
Where did you buy yours? I had mine imported of course.

Just a hint: Try your frend sim card, if it doesn't work with that too, I would write to the shop to send back for repair or replace.
Yeah, hasn't worked with any SIM card. They do returns but not repairs/replaces.
What do you get when you dial: *#*#4636#*#*
Maybe you can optimize the settings?

I always get emergency calls only, it reads that there is a SIM card inserted for both slot 1 & 2 plus it reads the phone number of the card AND even contacts on the card but doesn't connect to the network. :/
is that some Quality Assurance issues or a general problem?
Also getting issues with signal, weaker than any other of phones , sometimes drops call, or caller hear me with pause, ( i'm techinician, repairing phones, having a lot of tests), i'm in EU. Because lack of band 20 4g+ isn't working here i think. Overall a lot of people got defective units. Mine also have loudspeaker problems, tryed to calibrate via service menu, still the same.
Got it to work! AT&T works with 3G and HSPA/HSPA+ woo!!

Please let us know how it's working on AT&T. I'm on AT&T and am very interested in this phone.
just as a 2nd review....I am in NJ on ATT and works very well.
although, it's a pain to debloat everything everytime I tinker with settings or try to unlock!
Is anyone using this phone on a UK carrier without any mods at all?
This is the KT branded/unlocked version gifted to athletes.
I don’t care about WiFi calling, just wondering if it will work well on any UK carrier without my having to do anything to it.
Thanks....

It should be fine if the basebands match.
Find the baseband of the network you want to use, (so for 3g I need baseband 2100 and for 4g I need 900)
In the link below you can then compare it to your model (I will assume its the same as the U version despite the KT)
If the baseband matches for 3g you will only get 3g or visa versa. Hopefully they will match for both 3 and 4g.

Thanks for your reply.
On paper, this phone has all the necessary bands to work on TMobile USA but a test at one of their stores with an active SIM didn't have good results. Although the phone displayed LTE, outgoing calls took between 40 and 60 seconds to initiate dialing out, and SMS texts would not go out at all (or if they went out, they didn't arrive at destination phone).
I travel frequently to the UK so I was just hoping that this phone would work out of the box with a UK SIM with no need for mods....
How did you get this phone? I want one so bad.. the colors are so cool

I acquired it directly from an athlete.
I hope to make it work. If not, It may soon be available... (I hope it’s not against the rules to say that).
Seeing as the N950N is GSM device, you should have no issues using it with any UK cell provider.

Thanks, that would be my hope, though it didn’t bear out for TMobile USA, which is also a GSM network.

You would need to contact T-Mobile or visit their retail branch and have them add your devices IMEI# on their network. For some strange reason some networks require that...
It should work in the UK no problem. Go-to thr Samsung website and it shows all the bands for your specific model (950N) and cross reference it with the ones used in the UK. I think you'll find it's all there. No need to over think it.

Thanks. For some reason, although Tmobile USA has all of the required bands, this phone will not work properly on their network without mods.
The purpose of this thread was to hopefully get confirmation from anyone who is actually using an N950N on a UK network without mods.

I am using the same Olympic Edition phone in the UK no problem at all. I had to reset my network in order to get LTE working though. I was actually thinking of selling mine, but I decided to keep it and I absolutely love it and sold my iPhone instead!

Thank you, that is good to know. Which UK carrier are you using? I have a Vodafone UK sim, but if it doesn't work on that, I'll get a different one.
And what do you mean exactly by "I had to reset my network".... ?

I'm on EE but I haven't tried any other carrier, but I'm sure it would work the same.
What I meant by reset my network, go to settings - general management - reset - reset network settings and then I just reset my network that way and I got the LTE working that way. Let me know if this works for you on Vodafone

Is it working ok for you? Also I have a question, what software version are you on? I'm on the Oreo update but still on the April patch? I am trying to see if anyone has a newer software patch that they have got. I find it strange that I haven't had any updates in 3 months.
Hi. I arrived in London on Sat 7/21... phone would only receive 2G (phone displayed E) and occasionally 3G. I stopped by Vodafone shop and they confirmed all settings were correct. I went across the street to EE and tried one of their sims, strong 3G but nothing better. As I was going to Cardiff for a few days, I used the Microsoft 950XL that I have which receives 4G and better (often displays 4G+).
Not sure what the next step is...
Regarding updates, the last one I got installed Oreo 8.0.0 and Samsung Experience 9.0 on May 24, 2018. Last security patch date is April 1, 2018.

Have you tried the reset network with the Sim in now you are in the UK? That sounds like what happened to me, would only get 3g until I would reset the network with the Sim in. I once tried to put in another Sim and when I put my EE Sim back in I had to reset the network again. I'm even in Germany now for the past week and I get LTE here as well.
Ok thanks, we are on the same security patch. But I would think that we would get updates that are newer than that. On Reddit people are already talking about getting thier July updates, while we are still on the April update.
I have wanted to get the ROG since the 2 came out. I'm on Verizon and don't plan on changing anytime soon.
Can the 3 work on the Verizon network? If it does, will it be limited in any way (service area, speed, bands, and so forth)? What has to be done to make it work?
Thank You for your help!

according to this:
https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-asus-rog-phone-3-16gb-512gb-am
it should work only on 4G network only on Verizon network, no 5G or 3G which might be an issue for you .

Data only on 4g.
Has anyone been able to to try it?
I was hoping someone could say there experience with using it on Verizon's network?
It seems this reviewer tried it on Verizon: pcmag com /product-guides/137219/asus-rog-phone-3
We asked in the comments and I emailed him personally but he did not respond.
I think it working on 4g is a good bet. You would just have to root to be able to enable VoLTE and Wifi calling. Like they did for the ROG phone 2.
