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

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??

No wifi calling with T mobile rom on N900A

Hello,
So I just switched from ATT to Tmobile and now using the Tmobile service. After I put in the tmobile simcard into my unlocked N900A, I got everything from good service to 4gLTE. Now I want wifi calling feature on my N900A, So I rooted the device with towel root and installed SS (of course after SU and BUSYBOX). After I backed up my stock rom, in rom slot 1 I installed tweaked N3 3.8 but the wifi calling toggle got stuck on "enabling". I thought may be something was wrong with the flash so I flashed the tweaked N3 3.9 but it gave the same result. So I thought let me try another Tmobile rom on my ATT note 3 so I flashed the "Effortless ROM" from the tmobile section but still when I see the wifi calling toggle in the setting it is still stuck on enabling.
Is there anyway I can enable the wifi calling feature onto my ATT note 3 4.4.2 NC2.
I installed the SRX tmobile rom on my galaxy S3 and the wifi calling feature is working great.

2 things,
1.. when you flashed Tweaked, did you do the custom install.prop and edit it, and when you edited it, did you set it to att on tmo? i think that is what you might want.. if you flashed it strait from att thread, it is going to load as att and you cant do Wifi calling..
2. did you double check your APN, not 100% certain if wifi calling is effected by that, but make sure you are using tmo apn if you are with them..
side note, why the hell wouldn't you change over to the tmo note3 if you are on tmo now? unlocked BL and you can do so much more id say trade that att N3 in for the tmo one if you are able... you will probably love it so much more.

1 - I did change in the custom install.prop. I changed it to tmo on att N900a , isn't that what I am supposed to do? or other way around att on tmo as you mentioned?
2- APN was set up correctly as I was getting the 4GLTE and I double checked it and it was using tmo apn.
for the side note I actually won't mind trading my phone in for tmo note 3 but I am short on money so can't spend those extra few hundred on trading unless if I can find someone to do the straight swap as my phone is like new out of the box (not a single scratch).
Question for you,, Have you seen anyone able to enable wifi calling successfully? because I really want to use this feature as it will help me at home.

As far as I know, T-Mobile wifi calling is not supported with any AT&T plan/SIM

That sounds about right..you would need to double tap with dwith I his thread to be sure.
Yeah figured apn was fine
Can't you do their version of next program and trade in and pay nothing then just add to monthly if something you would do....personally not a fan of those plans but an option to save some or can't do the up front costs

Sorry to hear nothing came of this - and nice job on being thorough and testing some other tmobile rom options. I know it worked for people back in the Note 2 days (Non-TMo N2 with TMo service and TMo rom -> wifi calling worked), so my gut says it should be possible... but my gut is rather uninformed on such things so I dunno how good the ole gut read really is

Ya thanks for keeping this in the back of your mind. I did some research after I talked with you and saw that there are some unknown problem with safestrap and using the rom slots, And all the roms I tried including yours was on rom slot. So I am thinking of flashing the tweaked on the stock slot and see if that helps with the wifi calling. I will keep you guys posted if I find anything.
Thanks.

Any luck? I have an AT&T Note 3 as well that I'm using with a T-Mobile SIM, and I'm about to move to a building that has very poor T-Mobile coverage, and so I want to be able to use wifi calling.
If someone was willing to do a straight trade of a T-Mobile Note 3 for my AT&T one, I'd be all set, but probably hard to find that.

Sorry for the very late reply but I was away for 2 months to my home country and I had very bad internet there so didn't visit
XDA from there.
For your problem you can unlock your device either by calling att which is a free method or you can buy the unlock code from the ebay or any unlocking company, If you google it you will find plenty. And as far as I know tmobile also caps there data at 1 or 2 GB unless you have unlimited 4g LTE plan which I would think is little on the expensive side.

[Q] double layered question about rooting and usage

Hi
I am having a rough time finding the right phone. First I bought a oneplus one used it on Tmobile and had trouble with coverage AND wifi call wouldnt work because no Tmoble phone.
Then I got the Moto X and loved it, but on Verizon and no way to root. And back it goes.......
Now I am playing with the thought getting a Nexus 6.
Question 1 : I understand I can root that and it comes unlocked from T-mobile right? ( traveling a lot and need a phone I can slap a sim in while I am traveling).
Question 2. : can I after I rooted it still use the wifi call feature?
Thanks in advance
K

Yes to both of your questions. Though #2 will only be available here in the USA I think...

Once rooted wifi calling should still work. It has on every other T-Mobile device, at least that I know of. You can probably flash custom ROMs and kernels while keeping it as well, at least in theory.
That said, the Nexus 6 doesn't have wifi calling yet. It is supposed to come early 2015 in an OTA, but as of today there is no wifi calling feature on the Nexus 6. So if wifi calling as an extremely important factor, the Nexus 6 may not be for you just yet.

Which international version is best for tmobile?

I was thinking about getting an international phone but there are a few versions N930F/FD/S/L/K . Which would be most compatible. As I understand it, the downside is missing some of the bands for data. 3g is the problem I think. Can anyone confirm this or input any additional issues.

N930F/FD will definitely work on T-Mobile...
I think WiFi Calling and VoLTE won't work and you might miss a band or two but it will work just fine.

Isn't WiFi Calling a built-in feature of Android 6, now? I use it on my Nexus 6P and it has no T Mobile software at all.

I believe 4g is ok. The some bands for 3g have reduced speeds.

N930F has all Tmo bands. WIfi calling and VOLTE will not work with stock rom, but will if/when custom roms come out.

Did anyone go this route? I see couple for sell on ebay.

Very odd as both worked in the S7 FD version I had for a bit. The requirement isn't bands but that the TMO sim has to be in sim1 not sim2. If it's in sim1 then both work. Also, VoLTE is hidden and always on if supported.

T-Mobile "open sourced" their wifi calling two years ago...

As seen here: https://support.t-mobile.com/message/550363#550363
The Wi-Fi calling portion of T-Mo was apparently picked up by base android in 2016... if this was in the upstream code is there any easy way to put it into any of the ROMs?
I'm running straight Lineage and I don't see the option even though it's clearly connecting to the Tmo network.

Ok... I'm now seeing that some phones just don't have the kernel support built in. I still think there's plenty of mileage left in the S5 so I'll keep on doing this dance for now.
Anyone know of any lists of phones that actually support it withing lineage?
[ADDENDUM]: Maybe this belongs somewhere else?

Should be baked into every Oreo version...

Hmm. How do you activate it?

On lineage you turn it on in mobile settings. Net10 carrier requires user to turn the feature on it seems, it asked for my phone # and one other thing (I forgot maybe last 4 of imie) and they ran a check on my sim. Perhaps they just turn something on in their end? I used to use it on stock with T-Mobile before I unlocked it but tmobile sucks in my area.

I'm verifying at least on my S5 that it's not baked in on 14.1 -- still waiting for some things on O to be worked out...
