Hey guys, just got my note today and i took my sim out of my at&t atrix and threw it into the note, changed the apn settings to what it seems whats working, and i can only get edge data. Ive tried other apn settings a couple of times now and i am stuck here. Can anyone shed some light here. I searched around and couldnt find anything conclusive.
Thanks in advance guys.

The atrix is a 4g device correct? You have a data plan on file with at&t that is pointing to the 4g plan. You put a 4g data plan registered sim into a 3g device. I think this is your problem.
Enter your sim into a dumb phone. Go online and switch your data plan to medianet unlimited.
Then put sim in galaxy note and try again.
good luck

AFAIK 4G/3G/edge has nothing to do with the SIM or service. If he is getting EDGE, he should also get the other 3G on... if the device supports it. Worst to worst, call AT&T
post the apn you used
post the apn you used and lets see if anyone can help.

You have to set the message centre number in Messaging --> Settings --> Message Centre
I found this number: +13123149810
Maybe this is your message centre?
Edit:
Just read that you wrote "mms".
Do you have configured the APN for MMS?

Got the note and put in my SIM. I can get voice calls, but I don't think data is active. Don't see the HSDPA or HSDPA+ logo on the unit when trying to access. Is there a special setup I need to go through to get the Note going on ATT for data?
Thanks,

I searched "att data" and this was the first result. It looks like it has your answer. Please search next time

...works perfectly. I actually may be getting slightly BETTER reception in certain trouble spots...still investigating that.
must be your APN settings, if voice calls and sms works.

I got the system working on the lte network using the apn setup provided on their website
I now sow LTE and get decent connection rate but when i send a picture text or get one it wont go through
when i try to send it will just give you a failure message .
when i try to get one i will get a download box but it wont download through the network or WIFI

Seems like a settings collision, you won't be able to have LTE + MMS but you can have LTE with no MMS and MMS with No LTE
American bands/carriers confuse the hell out of me cause they're so awkward and trying to be different so they can lock their customers down.
It's not the lte I restored to factory and didn't have the lte and it still wouldn't do it

I have a weird issue with LTE on my Note 3. When I go to settings, and set network mode to LTE/WCDMA/GSM, LTE sign next to signal strength in status bar appears for a second, and then disappears. And I can't use 4G network.
So I'm asking you, if anybody else have this issues? Is it problem with carrier or phone?
Everything except that works without problems.
Thank you.
What's the model of your Note 3 and carrier?
Doubt this could be the issue but have you checked with the APN for your network?

Well, who knows, I changed APN settings and 2G/3G works, I'll see about 4G later because I can't catch the signal at home.
It's interesting that they have already sent me internet options by sms, and they are probably wrong.
It works now! I've just changed the APN settings and that's it. I can't believe that T-Mobile sends wrong settings.

And my network shows up as H.. I checked my APN nd it's set to nothing. Help???!!! Oh, And it's on Global network... should it be?

What if I do that and it goes back to being lock to my Verizon sim? How would I know if it's really unlocked? Cause I'm using the data now. I can make calls, msgs, nd get on the Internet thanx to the apn settings I entered, but how do I change it to 4g icon instead of the H+?

You can always try to search for the 4G apn settings (if such exists) for Verizon, and or go to your mobile network settings and set 4G as preferred network type.

Mate ,
Once is unlock is always unlock no matter what sim you put in
You did not mention you could make call and send messages , to get 4G review your settings/connections /more networks /mobile networks and make sure you have the right setting there .
if you have dta and voice you should not have the "unknown sim " error ......try with a different sim to see if is sim related.
I've been using it on tmo since yesterday. Solid signal, very stable so far. I ran speedtest this morning and got 56 up\26 down. The speed is crazy fast.
To get the Note 4 working on Verizon:
1. Change the APN setting.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
2. Change the network mode to Global in Mobile networks (same place where you set the APN)
3. Change the voice mail number.
-Open the Phone app, click on the 3 dot Menu button, go to Settings, select Call, select Voice Mail Setting, and change the number from *86 to 123.
-I use Google Voice, so I just switch mine to Google Voice.
4. If touch tone DTMF is not working for you, try to turn of noise reduction or change the DTMF from Short to Long.
5. To get rid of the annoying SIM message in the notification. Tap, hold the message and select App Info then force close it. Do this every time you reboot the phone.
Hi, noob question here, I am also using tmo network on a verizon note 4 but I can't seem to go online... I was told to changed the Network mode to GSM but still nothing. it also says the Signal strength is -67 dBm 23 asu. Any help would be great thanks!

Good to know. I'll be taking this bad boy to Asia next month. Sounds like it'd be a no problem sticking a new sim card as long as I get the APN down ?

how to remove Verizon bloatware
I'm using the Verizon note 4 with the T Mobile SIM card and it works well, it connects to 4G LTE, but I cannot use mobile hotspot because its integrated with Verizon's services. All the APN settings are fine but it says mobile number not found.
Does anyone know how to remove all of the Verizon bloatware? Things such as the Playstore and settings even have Verizon bloat. Data Usage tool also does not work either.
Also to note, whenever i reboot the phone a permanent notification apoears saying something like, "Sim card is not Verizon," which can only be removed if you force close the activation agent. Its annoying that Verizon left its mark throughout parts of the phone.
Is it possible to make this a Regular galaxy note 4?
(Another weird thing is that the settings menu cannot be switched to carousel mode which the T-Mobile version can do.)
hi i tried my t-mobile sim in my verizon note 4 but lte is not working it only works on hspa

I think T-Mobile sims for lte should use
fast.t-mobile.com
also make sure you do have LTE in your area.
I did it on Galaxy S5 for someone and it was fine.

To get rid of that notification, press and hold it until the App Info window appears. Hit that window then you'll go to the Activation Agent app settings. Push "Force Close" and it will disappear.
Nice and easy but the only problem is that you have to do this every time you restart your phone.

Does your phone have a clean esn from verizon or is it considered a "bad esn" (lost phone)? Just curious if they work outside verizon with bad esn.

It depends if your market uses LTE band 4. Probably though.
Also, it looks like (once root is achieved) you'll be able to add more LTE bands.
Do we lose frequencies when we use a verizon phone on tmobile? Doesn't seem to have band 12.

Shouldn't be an issue since AT&T and T-Mobile primarily use band 4. The other bands are for additional bandwidth if there is congestion and T-Mobile uses band 12 in limited markets.
