I just got my replacement from asurion and now I can't get a T-Mobile 3g signal. I noticed yje phone has a blue tint to the screen which I've read the att nexus has. Is there a way I can check without having to put in a sim card from att? I think they sent me an att nexus instead of the T-Mobile one.
if your phone is PB99110 (check underneath battery) then it is AT&T model with 850 MHz 3G freq

AGGGGHHHHH!!!!! it says PB99110! damn it!
I just talked to asurion and it took an hour between them and tmobile for them to finally tell me they will ship out another device. They didn't know there was an ATT version and just didn't want to believe me. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get the correct one
I was an early adopter of the N1 and got the T-mobile one even though I'm on 850/1900 3G. If they send you the wrong one again I'd trade you my N1 + some money for your 850/1900 N1
The same. Thing just happened to me today. Did you ever get the right one?. I hope this doesn't happen to me again. Just got off the phone with a rep. It would be even worse if they only have at&t nexus ones and none for tmobile at all.
i have the TMo band, using it with AT&T; hopefully whenever i decide to swap mine (dust), they send me a AT&T one
did they ever send you the right phone? or did they mess up again?

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

Hi, I got a T-mobile S5, and unlocked it. My 3G works but LTE won't register, I am 100% sure that the APN is correct.

He does not need an AT&T modem flashed on his device. That would most likely result in a brick.
OP: Try dialing *#2263# and make sure automatic is selected. Also go into setting, mobile networks and set it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA

I tried to do LTE only and it has the right network code, but it won't activate. I checked my ATT online profile and it doesn't have a "LTE" data plan and I think that is the problem. I'll try again tomorrow once it takes effect and report back

Ok you need to give ATT the IMEI number from one of their LTE android devices. Just go to the store to get one from one of the demo devices. Then your account will be provisioned for LTE.

The guy above is correct, you need at&t to register your imei into their network to access their LTE.... They should do it for you no problem, just give them a call....however I wouldn't be surprised if they don't! Another way is to find someone with an extra LTE phone and just activate that imei and your LTE should pop up

If he registers his T-Mobile S5 on AT&T he will still have problems. AT&T won't recognize the T-Mobile IMEI number, and therefore it will list as a GSM device.
He needs to find an IMEI number of one of AT&T's LTE android devices. Once he has called AT&T CS and have had them provision his account for LTE, then he can just pop in his AT&T sim card to his T-Mobile S5. He'll get LTE then.

Just wondering where did you unlock the phone from and how long did it take to get the unlock code?
Thanks for everyone's help. I am good to go.
I took a SIM from another LTE device. I think it does need to be registered as a IMEI from an ATT device and that was the problem.

Now that you are getting AT&T LTE on the T-Mobile variant, can you please comment on LTE signal strength? This is a deal breaker for me. When I had the TMO Note 3 on AT&T, LTE reception sucked. If you can compare it with an AT&T branded phone, that would be great.
Another person using the G900T. Congrats
My experience is that coverage is just as good if not better. Same radio, same antenna, I wouldn't expect it to be any different?
The TMO GS5 has all the needed ATT LTE Bands no need for a radio flash, I'm using one on ATT now, have gotten LTE from day 1, as stated only requirement is the sim has to be originally activated on a LTE ATT device and that the APN is set properly.
What kind of speed is everyone getting with the tmo s5 on att network? I have an att s5 next to a tmo s5 and att s5 is getting 50mbps vs tmo at 20mbps. I am wondering if I needed to configure something on the tmo devices?

Check your APN setting. The T-Mobile S5 should have the same exact APN settings your S5 has. Can you also comment on LTE reception on the T-Mobile S5 using AT&t?

APN is exactly the same as AT&T one. Reception is also same as AT&T one but the speed is a show stopper if it's half the speed. Any one have any ideas?

I wouldn't sweat the speeds, unless you keep noticing it. Try again later. Perhaps the T-Mobile S5 needs a modem update? Keep us posted.

I would also like to do this, but I just want to clarify something. I just bought an AT&T S5. Brand new, unopened, still in the box. I want to swap it for a T-Mobile S5, as the bootloader is unlocked. If I keep the AT&T SIM card before I sell it, and put it into the new Tmo S5, will I have any foreseeable issues? Will it work just like that, or will I need to retrieve something from my S5 before I swap it?
Thanks.
EDIT: I should clarify that the device is unactivated, and when I do activate it, I will be porting my existing number from Verizon.

So, anyways I have an AT&T unlocked and currently using it for TMOBILE.
I've read things from build.props changes to flashing band radios such as .33 to try to obtain 4gLTE.
Also changing APN settings. Went through t-mobile services at least 5 times through live chat and calling.
Went through AT&T live chat. EVEN WENT AS FAR TO CONTACT SAMSUNG.
Every attempt failed to help me achieve 4gLTE for Tmobile using the unlocked AT&T s5.
People said they are able to use their AT&T phones and have LTE for Tmobile.
But on the other hand people said it is not possible because the 2 carriers use different bands or radio towers or whatever.
So, can someone please tell me is there a solution to having and keeping LTE for T-mobile using an unlocked AT&T phone. It's been about 3 days of search after work and this search for the philosopher stone is tiring.

If your GF has a TMO S5 G900T phone its modem has all the LTE bands used by TMO. My S5 G900A and yours do not have ALL the TMO bands. But mine works just fine on TMO LTE. You need to check your baseband and android version. The last and best is G900AUCU2AOA1 and 4.4.4. If you don't have this, you must get the OTA update on your S5.
Search the XDA threads started by muniz_ri on how to root a G900A.
Good Luck.

So, I got everything under that thread to work. I was unable to get the OTA update on my phone, but following that thread I was finally able to get 4.4.4.
Stilll, I cant recieve LTE. Checked my apn settings and they are fine. Changed my build.prop to kltetmo (since it said att). A worker at this phone store said it might have been my baseband because it was at ND3, so I got it to Ng3. still didnt fix it and got 4.4.4 which changed it to oa1. Nothing is working.

If your phone:
1. Has G900AUCU2AOA1 and AT&T 4.4.4 installed and your Network Mode is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto; and
2. your GF's G900T phone sitting next to yours shows About>Status Network = T-Mobile with Mobile network type= LTE and yours does not; then
Your AT&T modem does not connect to the TMO LTE channels used in the area. OR there is something broken in hardware or software on your phone.
Sorry, but have little more to offer because of my limited toolset. Perhaps others can help.
I began with totally stock ATT G900A and moved to TMO last October in Nor Cal. Had LTE from the get go, no problems other than poor coverage compared to AT&T at my home. Rooted in early February and installed Safestrap. Then ran stock AT&T with LTE until I upgraded modem, kernel, et al to OA1 and 4.4.4 last week with muniz_ri threads. Then installed Alliance B4 and now have faster phone with better reception and wi-fi calling! LTE solid the whole way where I had coverage.
Best wishes!

Struggling with the same issue. Bought S5 G900A locked to AT&T a couple days ago. So I rooted, updated to OC4, bought unlock code for $2 on ebay and inserted TMO's SIM - everything works but no 4G LTE (only 4G and it's definitely slow HSPA speeds) no matter what secret code or APN settings I use. I don't have "network mode type" or something like that in menu. BTW, in the same areas (SF, Berkeley, Sacramento) LG G4 D850 att model on same TMO's SIM showed 4G LTE all the time...
Open up the phone dialer and enter
*#*#4636#*#*
When you enter that it should bring you to a device service menu.
Check the preferred network settings there.
Make sure it is on one of the lte auto modes
Try that... maybe change it and see if it helps...
There is also some settings there in the menu on band selection I believe
Also.... it could be a problem with the tmobile Sim card... if the Sim card is not for lte then lte won't work.. maybe try a new Sim at tmobile if all else fails

Hey there fellas! I recently purchased an international Galaxy Note 8 to use on AT&T here in the U.S. Everything appears to work fine except the speed of my network. Normally in this area I would be getting LTE speeds around 30-40 up and down. With the Note 8 is displays H+ (which I understand to be LTE, but I may be wrong) and I get around 5-7 down and often less than 1mbps up. Some have suggested setting the preferred network time to LTE/UMTS auto (PRL) which was already selected on my device. Is there anything else I can do to get the proper speeds? Thanks!

On all of my international versions H+ was 3G and 4G was LTE. Depending on the area with 4G I would get 20 - 50 megs down on AT&T. On my 950U1 my settings under #*#*4636*#*# I have TD-SCDMA/CDMA/UMTS selected by default and mine shows LTE and depending on the area up to 100 megs down.
H+ is 3G, or 3.5G for some carriers

Ah, that would explain why my speeds are so slow. Thank you for clearing that up. I attempted to select TD-SCDMA/CDMA/UMTS as my preferred network mode but for whatever reason it will not apply. When I reopen that settings menu it goes back to whatever option was selected prior to that. Do you think it could have something to do with the selected APN? I have ATT Phone as my current APN, but at the store they were trying to use ATT Nextgenphone, which didn't work.

I would do all I could to get the Nextgenphone APN working. It is what I used on all my international phones.
Took the Note 8 into the AT&T store today and swapped out the sim card without any luck. As usual they couldn't provide any help beyond that. I also I can't select TD-SCDMA/CDMA/UMTS as my preferred network type for some reason. I contacted the person I bought the phone from and they claimed they used it on Verizon's LTE network without an issue. Very strange.

Would you mind sharing what your CSC on your Note 8 is? I might end up flashing whatever firmware your phone is using, as mine is currently running a firmware for French phones. Not sure if thats the issue, but its possible.

I may be totally off here, but wouldn't that be an issue as the AT&T variant uses a Snapdragon SoC, while my device uses Exynos? Another concern for me would the ability to root as well, which is one of the reasons I decided not to buy an AT&T branded phone. Thanks for your help so far man, I appreciate it!

You are right. There is no AT&T firmware for your phone. Unless they changed something with the Note8 you should still be able to get 4G. I did with my international Note4, Note5, and Xperia Z5 Premium models. My son is using the Note5 with an Exynos processor and gets 4G speeds comparable to LTE speeds in the area.
Had this problem as well way back when I first got my 950F.
There are solutions. But you would need one of 2 things.
1. Get At&t to add your IMEI# TO their database so that they can provision your phone correctly.
2. Get another At&t branded phone's IMEI# that is LTE COMPATIBLE. and call them to provision you phone with that #.
My phone is getting full LTE speeds and VOLTE.
But I had them put in the IMEI# of my older Note 5!( which my wife is currently using)...
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I called ATT and gave them your suggestion and they claimed that it would not work. They said provisioning my new phone with an IMEI of a different phone would be temporary up to 2-3 weeks. Have you encountered this issue? I'm assuming not, so I'm curious as to how long you've had this fixed. Thanks again man
