I'm thinking about moving my services from T Mobile to Sprint. I currently have two unlocked T Mobile branded Note 8 devices.
Question is, will it work or not ?
I read somewhere that it won't work.

I'm with T-mobile but I am dying to get the note. Can someoen link or even just give me a description as to how to get the note to work on T-mo? I'm guessing rooting it but then what?
3g/4g will not work here on t-mo. so i would suggest take a hot-spot and connect via wifi. thats what im doing . other than that there is not much of an issue. since i assume u would be getting an international version it will be unlocked already and rooting methods are are available in the dev section

you have the "unlocked" version? I thought the "unlocked" international version would work on tmo 3g/4g ?
I'm not 100% sure about this but the only way I could get my streak to work with tmobile 3g/4g was to get one for Bell, I'd just checked their site and it lists the note as having the correct frequencies for t-mo us. My guess is get one from them and get it unlocked should it be locked onto their network

did try but get only edge speeds. no way around this. also an article on engadget says that the att note will not work on the tmo band if unlocked.

I understand that the T-Mo version has its many advantages of having its unlocked bootloader, DEV support, SIM unlock, etc...
Price point aside, are there any major advantages/disadvantages between purchasing the T-Mo(N900T) or the Intl version (N9005)?
Every stat comparison seems to be similar, ROM support and all the freq bands are there.
Looking for some definitive answers from the community before spending big bucks on a new unit.

I must be missing something then. According to the description on NegriElectronics it shows one model (N9005) as a 32g LTE model?

On my way to the T-MO store then. :fingers-crossed:
Just so I get this straight,
1. Purchase the N900T.
2. Purchase a $10 or $20 SIM card. (then insert it and use the phone) Required?
3. Bring it home and use the service on CellUnlocker.net
4. Wait for the unlock codes then ENJOY! (Change APN settings)
Optional;
Follow the rooting/recovery guides in the T-Mo thread.
If you buy the phone outright tmo will unlock it for you

Lol no worries. Just get the T-mobile version and you'll be just fine. I unlocked mine for cellunlocker.net ( well technically i havent unlocked it yet as i am waiting for my note 3 to be delivered but i got the unlock code ready to go).
I walked into a T-Mobile store day after they released the phone. Bought it full retail without purchasing a plan or a sim. Went home and unlocked it using cellunlocker. Now I am using it on AT&T with LTE. Also rooted and a custom rom is installed.

How's your experience with the device? How's your LTE speeds? Is the phone getting very hot?

Thanks for the update on that. You did not have to put a T-Mo SIM first? I thought that was required for the region unlock issue?
How are the actual LTE speeds? Others have mentioned a drop in speeds due to AT&T not giving top priority to the T-Mo IMEI.

+1 on this question. How is the signal strength as well compared to a true AT&T phone in the same area?
Galaxy Note 3 Active
I was in the T-Mo store today looking at the Note 3. Ready and willing to go ahead and pull the trigger, then the rep says they are all out of the white one. They will have more in by the end of the week. Then mentions, they do have some at another store about 5 miles away though. He looks at me looking all disappointed and says, have you heard the rumor about the N3 active? No, I said. He says, if you can wait to get a new phone you might want to read up as it looks like Samsung is going to be going ahead with the release very soon.

That's compete crap. I can't believe they would do that to you. I was under the impression they had to if you bought it outright. Perhaps you'll have to get an unlock code elsewhere.

Im confused
I'm on net10 using att network in the US and contacted negri about a n900t they are selling but in the notes on their website it says for international use only.. I thought the n900t was t-mobile version in the US? I asked them about it and they said it will not work in the US. I am confused?

It's because their stock of N900T's have been blacklisted by US carriers. Meaning they were obtained from the gray market. T-Mobile and AT&T have a database of IMEI's that are blocked from their network.
N900T vs N900A
I was reading the thread and was wondering why folks would prefer to buy the N900T vs N900A (especially when they are planning to use if for AT&T and will be required to unlock immediately)? Is there hardware/software advantages for the N900T over the N900A?
I'll add my 2 cents on this. I had originally purchased the T-Mobile variant (N900T) of the Note 3. I loaded up a custom rom and it was perfect. Shortly after that, I noticed my LTE signal (not HSPA) would be very low (-110dbm) in areas where my AT&T branded phones would sit on -94dbm. I flashed back to stock and noticed the same thing. Overall, LTE reception on band 17 on the N900T was very poor. Its probably because the N900T isn't optimized to use Band 17. Using the device with T-Mobile service, I had no LTE issues.
Now using the N900A for AT&T and get great LTE reception.
A buddy of mine has also noticed the TMO Note3 gets a lower reception when compared to my ATT note3. We are both on ATT as well.

Hi!
Any idea if the unlocked version of Tmobile Nexus 6 will work on Verizon network?
Im asking because there is only one Nexus for all carries in U.S.A
I would do so because Tmobile version for sure wont locked bootloader, unlock it and use it on Verizon.
If nexus legend holds true it should come with an unlockable boot loader like all the other nexus. N7 was compatible with Verizon and it was the same device across the other carriers. If the carrier locks the phone I'd be very surprised.

There are only 2 NExus 6 models. The US model and then the one for the rest of the world. So we can infer that there will be no carrier branding and it will work on all networks (Sprint, AT&T, Verizon & T-Mobile). So Google really nailed it with one model covering all of the LTE bands on every carrier.

If that's indeed the truth and Verizon doesn't lock it down I'd probably get one myself. I love the G3 but the N6 seems like it could be the way to go...

Thats what google said which is why its implied that all carriers will get the same phone. Google has more control over what carriers can do so it should be a good change.

That seems about right, I think its fair for what you are getting. Also Nexus devices retain their value extremely well.
Hi everyone,
Im thinking of getting the T-mobile Note 4 because its the most "usable" model since its bootloader is unlocked, it has different roms to choose from and can be used with LTE globally. I know there is an international model (N910f) but it seems it has trouble with LTE in the US.
So the question is, can I use the N910t (T-mobile) with another carrier right out of the box, if unlocked? Meaning the phone never touches a T-mobile sim card.
Thanks in advanced!
It will need to be unlocked, then it should work on most networks. The LTE will Not work on Verizon or sprint though.

Be careful with the LTE network. If you want to use it internationally you better check the frequency of the local LTE carrier. Most international carriers use a different frequency. Use this page to guide you en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks

Hello everyone,
I recently got my hands on a Verizon Note 7 and was trying to use a T-Mobile sim card on it. The person I received it from stated that the phone was unlocked and when I put in my SIM I do see T-Mobile is available as a network. The problem is that I do not get any connection to the T-Mobile network, no calling, no data.
I did some research and I was wondering if I have to input the APN settings manually. Also, from what I understand, T-Mobile and Verizon use different bands, so would my data connection speeds be technically slower on this mobile vs a T-Mobile model?
I am also open to flashing the ROM on this Note 7, but is it possible to flash a Tmobile ROM to this device and basically make it a T-Mobile Note 7?
Yes enter APN settings manually. You can Odin the TMO firmware if you aren't squeamish.

Considering the crap that Verizon does to their phones I highly recommend flashing the T-Mobile from if it's possible. I was shocked to see how much bull**** they did on that phone.
I entered the APN settings, but still cannot connect to the T-Mobile network.

That's great news. One more question. I f I have a sprint, or vz note 7 buts its not sim unlocked, and flash tmo fw, will my tmo sim work without unlocking?
VZW is always sim unlocked. Not sure about sprint so somebody else has to jump in for assistance.
