Now we need to get this firmware or radio for the 9120A for us ATT people.

I'm hoping now that it's being sold in US any of us who bought the 9020A unlocked online can get Samsung USA warranty support if required...

I suspect that it will be the 9020A that is currently being shipped in Canada.
@Skillz1318: Probably not. It's been my experience that warranties don't carry across the border, even if it's the same product. I'm suspecting that the IMEI's will be registered to a specific country and will only be serviced inside of that country.
Any idea att version work on att media net plan? I will be willing to upgrade to smartphone plan if i getting better speed. I know the phone is only hsdpa. maybe it will get better speed then my n1.

I'm due for an upgrade on July 26th for AT&T, should I jump on this or wait out for the Galaxy S II, I'm leaving for college mid August, and I'd like a new phone before then. I feel that I'd appreciate a 4" screen more than a 4.3", also this phone seems to be more proven than the Galaxy S II (I've learned my lesson from early adoption). The real question is, does the dual core matter for everyday use. I won't play very many games on it, mainly just browsing, gapps, phone use, etc?
I hope it's <$450 off contract :\
Why hasn't this been released months ago?!
It would really be great if the radio was uncapped and the gps performance would work better with the new att version.
I left att for sprint like a week ago.
Does att get 4g

No hspa+. Its only 3g.

In the same boat as you, friend ... although I'm just a 31 yo tech junkie and have been waiting for months to see a phone worthy if replacing my minuscule AT&T Aria which anything would be better.
I read that only Bestbuy and maybe Costco (the Atrix replacement memo) would be selling on Sunday but in 30 days when gs2 finally launches would it be possible to return the nexus s for the s2 and still get the subsidized price (assuming the Attain is sold there).

well said. sprint has been nothing but eager to kiss my feet, and please me.
Anyone get the AT&T version yet? Looking forward to seeing what radio it's using.
I just picked one up today! Baseband is I9020AUCKE1.
I just picked one up, I was tired of my Nexus One's touchscreen issues.
The radio is baseband I9020AUCKE1.
It's pretty slow on the speedtest.net app. Around 2Mbps down and 500k up.
Even worse today.

how is your GPS performance? I have an unlocked 9020a and the GPS is terrible on it.
Works fine if you are walking outside, but if you're in a moving car, it struggles to keep a lock.
As for your speed, I'm getting similar (sometimes higher) speeds on the download side but about triple on the upload side. The radio may be capped for uploads.
Also, i'm on the KB3 radio from the radio thread in the dev forum.
Any way we can get this radio dumped?

I've started noticing a pattern to the search button problem. For me it rarely happens. I noticed it happening on 2 different occasions when I was in a transitional area that had little to no signal. Someone on here had mentioned that it had to do with the radio that was flashed and when I had the original radio that came with the device (for the first day I had it) it was going crazy all the time.
Once I flashed to KB3, it all but went away except for the 2 occasions that I mentioned above.
I'm interested to see what (if any?) changes were made with the AUCKE1 radio. I wonder how long it will be before someone dumps it.

they need to get their heads out of their asses and start supporting products period. you don't see hard drive manufacturers asking which country your hard drive is in. you send it in for RMA. same with any computer component.

HTC 'Supersonic' to ring in WiMAX on Sprint, Android-style
By Chris Ziegler posted Jan 17th 2010 10:51PM
Exclusive
Remember that mysterious HTC A9292 with WiMAX rumored for Sprint a few days back? Well, take a seat, folks -- we think we've got the lowdown on it here from a trusted source, and it's a bit of a monster:
* Codename is "Supersonic" -- a name we've heard at least once before.
* Feels a lot like you'd expect an Android-powered HD2 to feel thanks to a 4.3-inch non-AMOLED display and a svelte shell. (For reference, the HD2 is 11mm thick, but we don't have exact dimensions here.)
* It's got a kickstand on the back. This wouldn't be a first for HTC; the Imagio on Verizon has one, for example.
* Runs Android 2.1 with HTC's Sense UI.
* Our tipster saw it in white; production devices could be available in different colors, of course, but white seems like it'd be an intriguing choice for a phone of the HD2's size and shape.
* The phone's software stack is buggy enough right now to suggest that we're not looking at a release any time soon, but we don't have details on the projected launch window.
* It's fast -- Snapdragon fast, it seems, though our tipster can't confirm the processor under the hood.
We know 2010's just begun, but between all this noise and the promise of a legitimate 4G radio on board, let's be real -- we're already looking at a very, very early contender for smartphone of the year. Let's not run into any major roadblocks between here and retail, alright, guys?

Tethering on that bad boy will be awesome! Then when I head upstate I can still fall back on VZW's 1x roaming. LOL! Seriously, I love sprints 1 yr upgrades. Can't wait!
exactly im loving the fact that i can upgrade in 1 yr now... hopefully this phone will be coming out as my upgrade approaches...
illl buy it right now! if it works with sprint then sell my hero later.. or give it to my brother..
Hmm, Just joined Sprint in Oct and started a family plan. What is this 1 year upgrade?
sprint offers its preimer members 1yr upgrades instead of waiting the full two years, i dont know what qualifes you to be a member but i know i am, i would just call and ask if you could join or if you are one already

I've gotten the bill on time for three months, but what's the S|P program?
its the sprint premier customer.
it makes you eligible for upgrades once every 12 months and you get 25% off all accessories.
you have to have an individual line plan for more than 70$ a month or a family plan totaling more than 100$ a month, pay your bills on time and sometimes jsut be with sprint for awhile.

Either you have to be with Sprint for 10 years or get a plan that starts somewhere around $75-$100/year and wait three months.
I don't suppose there is any word on if it will have 802.16m instead of 802.16e.
I look forward to seeing reviews of this phone. Even on 3G, this phone will be a beast compared to the Hero/Moment. I have my upgrade coming in October, but will see how 2.1 performs on my Hero when it is released.
A beast in more ways than one - it's going to be humongous.

Very true. I hope the Sprint Nexus One rumors are true. I don't know if I'd want a phone larger than that in my pocket. Although, the lure of a 4.3" screen is inticing
I looked at a comp video of SS to iPhone... not that much bigger. When it drops, I'll hit the Sprint store and see if I like the feel of it in my hand. I can always get a holster or something if I don't want it in my pocket all the time. Lol.
I'll wait til it's rooted, but should be eligable in november.
Might wait til it's rooted. But with the Snapdragon, everything should be super snappy from jump. I'll check the reviews vids and play with it in-store before making my final decision, though.

It's a penta-band HSPA+ phone, so it should work on T-Mo (and most HSPA network around the world). T-Mo doesn't really have a true 4G network; in their marketing terms, HSPA+ = 4G.

HTC One X was a reason, thus it dropped from ~500+
Next reason is SGS III
which may not be around the market for another 2months..
But then one may want SGS III...
you can wait 2months and then decide... or compromise $30-50 price difference now and enjoy this nexus for next two months
On a different topic,
my recent device history is:
Vibrant -> Atrix -> SGS II -> Nexus S
I had SGS II and Nexus S simultaneously and I kept Nexus for its stability and curved display(feels much better than flat one). It is as snappy as sgsII and only part where I have to wait for the phone to process is when it is processing panaroma.
I really do not require an upgrade but still i'm going for gnexus as im excited to try what google has on platter with this one.
Considering I kept SGS based Nexus S over SGSII, it is highly likely that I will still stick to Gnexus despite of sgsIII launch.

This is the best online deal I have come across so far.
As far xda market trend, hardly anyone is willing to sell one below 450-480 despite of this deal being in place (an many other deals below 450 for quite a long)
PS: Members will be grateful if someone can purchase them locally for ~350 and sale on xda at that price; unfortunately nothing of that sort has happened yet..
If anyone is looking for a Galaxy Note 2 this is the LOWEST price I have ever seen it from a reputable dealer.... :good: Must add coupon code (BLKNVMW57) and expires on November 5th... Also it includes an extended return/exchange policy and price match policy for the Holidays...

Is a GREAT price! But the 'extended return' policy does not apply to there unlocked phones. I emailed them and they said they were going to change that on the site. 15 day unopened to return for a refund still applies.

On-contract, AT&T will probably get you the best speed. Off-contract? Probably StraightTalk. Look into T-Mobile and see if they have refarmed your area for the 1900MHz frequency (try airportal.de). It's likely though that they haven't, making StraightTalk your best bet for HSPA+ speed off-contract. Check the provider forums and coverage maps for your area.
According to the new egg listing for those note 2's they are 3g and not 4g.

The international Note 2 doesn't have LTE.
It's on my invoice also, the warranty that is. I contacted Newegg to confirm if the are extending the return policy on the phones. The 'confirmed' with there manager and was told that it is still a 15 day return unopened, which is there standard policy for unlocked cell phones. They would still allow for an exchange up to 1/31/13 and price match as well.
This is a 3g phone for AT&T...no LTE, which is fine with me. LTE will not be in my area for sometime, and I am always on wi-fi...
I pulled the trigger on the grey model tonight! I also promptly ordered the Samsung official hard/bumper case from the Samsung site, a screen protector and an AT&T Straight Talk micro sim.
Time to retire the Galaxy Nexus and the T-Mo prepaid. I'm honestly a little bit excited to get onto AT&T's network. Out west the T-Mo service gets a bit sketchy outside of the I-15 cooridor. Every time i'm in Montana, Wyoming and even parts of Idaho its a total crap shoot if I'll even be able to get voice roaming (usually on AT&T's network). And building penetration in my office in Salt Lake is horrible.

When you put in your apn for Straight Talk, don't put in the first port or proxy that it says to. It'll help so that you may not get throttled as aggressively or kicked off the network.
Thanks for the info. I also bought a note 2 tonight. Also straight talk att micro sim card. I was holding out for the 32gb but the $90 off pushed me over the edge.

Wow! I was thinking of picking this up at Best Buy today, too. But I'm wondering, do they have the black version available at BB? The press release said so but Best Buy's website is only showing the white. I'm head over heels for this phone but if I can, I'd rather it in black. Any initial thoughts on the device?
Thanks!
I did not see the black one, and actually didn't know that there is a black version.
I also didn't know that, but we had the same idea just to use it as a wifi model lol ..I appreciate innovation.. I just bought a case off ebay though
Boost Mobile gets white
Virgin Mobile gets black.
I'm on Virgin looking to get the phone later this year but I kinda wanted it in White... not 100% sure though

Phone looks nice and feels great on my hand. I didn't activate the phone, and I'm just using Wi-Fi to go online. Very solid, and snappy. Hopefully someone can unlock it and I could use it on AT&T.

Not too sure if using it on AT&T is going to be possible. The Sharp website only shows CDMA network bands..
The phone looks great though!

That's pretty sad. The phone has a SIM card though, but probably for something else.
Here's another pic.
Next to my Xperia Z3 Compact and Note 3.
Why isn't the device on Best Buy's website?

Unless you meant the "Coming Soon", here are the links for it.
Boost:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/boost-m...hite/7278039.p?id=1219262037407&skuId=7278039
(Still says Coming Soon for some reason)
Sprint:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sprint-...kuId=8776196&st=sharp aquos crystal&cp=1&lp=2
Virgin Mobile:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/virgin-...hite/7278011.p?id=1219262036901&skuId=7278011
(Removed)
And the Boost/Sprint ones won't work on GSM (AT&T / T-Mo). They're CDMA only.
Sprint is going to have one on a post-pay plan, but it's going to cost $240 ($10 a month for 24 months on Easy Pay, or $239.99 to buy it up-front). You can't use the Prepaid ones on Sprint Post-Pay plans.
Just a note to everyone: Even though the Sprint Pre-paid version on Best Buy is listed as white, the back of the phone is actually black! I went in last night and picked on up. Loving it so far if you have any questions or want any pictures I'd be happy to do so.
CDMA vs GSM

Sorry.... I doubt you'll ever be able to use with AT&T or Tmobile because of different radios. I wish it were true because I have Tmobile and have found it to be THE BEST of all major carriers (at least in the Las Vegas NV valley). When my BoostMobile Aquos Crystal arrives on 10/17/2014, I plan to do comparison with my Note 3 and decide which phone to keep for the next year. Shap attracted me due to costing less than 1/4 of Note price, $35/month plan vs. over $50 for Tmo and the Sharp is simply the best looking touch screen phone I've ever seen (to date) that we can purchase now.

P.S. In past 8 years I've owned/used: Original iPhone, Nexus, Galaxy S3, S4, Note 3 and more Acer, Asus & Samsung tablets that I can remember! Rooted every one of them!

This phone already works on T-Mobile. I saw a video on youtube of a guy that did this.

If you read the other thread on bootloader.. etc., the guy with the video was wrong. He put in a T-Mobile SIM but was still using Boost 2g/3g data. Someone in that thread also tried themselves and were unable to get service with an At&T SIM. Those that are stating this phone is CDMA only are correct. You'll have to buy the international version to get GSM.

Uh, I see. I did not read any other threads about this. All I was relying on was that video. You are probably correct.

Wow! I was thinking of picking this up at Best Buy today, too. But I'm wondering, do they have the black version available at BB? The press release said so but Best Buy's website is only showing the white. I'm head over heels for this phone but if I can, I'd rather it in black. Any initial thoughts on the device?
Thanks!

Your best bets to just getting one of those body protection screens, like a screen protector for your whole phone, brushed alluminiam looks cool, also have black carbon fiber one

Also , its a nice phone, going from the tiny HTC one sv to this it took sum getting used to just because the size. But it doesn't feel too big do the screen taking up majority of the front, makes me wish they released the X over here, has a 5.5" screen and a thinner bar at the bottom of the front.
Never thought I'd make this upgrade.... My Verizon Note 4 is being traded in for a ... T-Mobile Note 4.
10 years and 5 lines on Verizon. I don't see a phone I can actually upgrade to from the Note 4- so it makes sense to get a rootable, rom-able Note 4. I'd be perfectly happy with that. I don't think that trade is for everybody, but I see nothing coming in 2015 that's any advancement I want to live with.
Just to let you know how it turned out moving out of my Verizon Note 4 and taking my family with me (I think that's relevant for this forum- mods, if it's not, you can delete my post), here's how it worked (unlimited talk and text):
Traded my VZW Note 4 (6 gigs data Plan) --------> TMO New Note 4 (10 gigs).
Porting over a VZW Note 3, 2 gig plan -------->10 gig plan
Trading a Note 2 in for a New Note 3, unlimited data --> 10 gigs
Changing one flip phone to Galaxy core Prime -----------10 gigs
Porting over one flip phone -----------no data
VZW: 233/month. T-Mobile: 168/Month. Fortunately, In my area Tmobile actually has better data/voice coverage than VZW.
I think I'll take the extra dollars and get a nice big battery. I have no problem living with that for a year or two.
Are you doing their 4 lines/10gb special that they have going on? I saw it on their site the other day and was considering it. Not because of root, but because Verizon is becoming my least favorite company lately.
Are all the phones new? When I built the plan and added in new phones, I was only saving like 30 bucks difference from what we pay on Verizon for the same data and phones.
I am seriously considering doing the same thing. I'm looking into coverage maps now. Does anyone know some good, up to date (and unbiased) places to find coverage map comparisons for a particular area?

2 out of 3 are new. Note 4 new, note 3 certified, core prime (El cheapo, but ok android) new.
Hands down t-mobile wins speed tests here.
Vzw tried to save me. Told me their new plan would be awesome. I would go from 1 unlimited, 1 6gig and 1 2gig to 3 total gigs for the whole family. I said "that sounds crazy... ". They said... "no really, you can use wifi!!!"
I'm stupid.... but not THAT stupid.
And yes, it's the 10 gig/4 phones plan on tmo.
Just a quick follow up note on how my changeover (after 10 years with Verizon, with 5 household lines) turned out.
I'm sitting here with a brand new, rooted note 4 with a killer custom rom, set up exactly how I want it
-- on a much improved 5.1.1. Battery and lag issues: *Poof*
It gets better. I have an extra smartphone line in my 5 phone household... and I'm saving 50 dollars a month.
It gets EVEN better.
My employer can hear me now when I call into work. I wont miss them telling me my voice was "dropping out".
Oh, but it gets **MUCH MUCH** better.
In 10 years, I never saw over 20 Mbps from VZW, and most of the time at home, my Verizon wireless could have been beaten by an average Fischer-Price Modem(sic).
Fired up my new T-Mobile Note 4, turned off the home WIFI and ran the Ookla speed test. I almost fainted.

Northeast Ohio, a bit west of Cleveland.
Ah ok. I live in southern California and get great coverage on verizon. I still have 2 lines on unlimited data, but if big red ever changes that I'm gone!

Same here. If ever they touch my data, my wife and I are out. I would not mind being able to have Root again. But for now, unlimited data is king. If only someone could find a way to turn all relevant radios for the Verizon network on one of the other networks phones. Then I would most definitely be getting another Note4. But it seems, even though there is a thread out there which proves it is possible, no one has tried. Oh well, it will happen eventually. Regardless, I still have Unlimited. To the OP, very happy you got more for less and better for that matter. I like to hear when those who can, do stick it to EVilrizon.

I was so done with Verizon screwing us over in terms of price, service, and locking down our phones that I threw away that unlimited line with all the others. Just look what it did to the character of this forum... it's a pretty dead place. 3000 posts in development here, 85000 posts in development at the T-mobile Note 4 forum. Verizon will lock down every significant phone into the future as quick as it can. I refuse to "moo".
Sic Semper Tyrannis! :victory:

I hear you on the being screwed part. Out of this world pricing. But, I just can not shake the unlimited data thing. $30 for unlimited? That is a good deal by pricing standards. But voice pricing? That is where I get screwed.

I am going to try TMO I think, especially since I'm not getting the Note 5. I have gotten the new release every year, but Sammy really screwed the pooch on this one.
Here is a question. Is there anyone here willing to try and unlock the appropriate radios on their TMobile Note4 to see if it works with a Verizon sim? I am getting fed up with this Verizon Note4. This lock down is unreasonable on so many levels.
