Int or at&t note for t mobile

None work with 3g but I'm hoping one or both will soon. I wanna buy a galaxy note this week but am torn between which one to get that will get it enabled first. I have read the threads but not sure. It's there progress on this? If there is on which one? Thanks.

Does your area have 1900MHz frequency towers? T-Mobile has been rolling out 1900MHz in some areas and the areas that do will get you 3G on all versions of the Note and all other 3G phones.

For real! I live in Miami.

Check with your local TMobile store or call their HQ then. If you do have it you're good to go.

Is everyone supposed to get it eventually?

Well, my store said that in my area, TMobile doesn't have any plans this year to roll it out and they're not sure if my area will get it. So in short I have no idea.

To be frank, its not going to happen.
It was planned to roll out with the whole ATT &T-Mobile merger (this is why all the chitty chat happening), but since that folded, and now there is n more merger, there is now NOTHING on the board in the see able future.

If you're going to get the Note to use with T-Mobile, don't hold your breath for 3G support. If you are fine with Edge, get the international version, as it has the better CPU, and physical home button.
Only get the ATT version if you some how have use a upgrade in a family plan that you can steel for yourself.

It's like 580 for att version and 600 for int version. I don't know which one to get. But I want it already.

I went to Bestbuy today to get a universal remote and I decided to take a look at the Galaxy Note for At&t and man was that thing slow. I checked the running programs and there weren't any and I checked the ram and it had a good amount free. But damn it was so slow I couldn't believe. Based on that i would say the int version but a bunch of reviewers claim the Att version was faster..

Lawl, they must have theirs overclocked to 1.8 Ghz just to match a 1.4 Ghz Exynos I guess.

I had same results. Today i played with the att note, it just came in today to the store. It was laggy and stuttery. We did side by side comparisons with my galaxy nexus and the nexus was silky smooth for things like scrolling a list from a market search, scrolling youtube list, webpages, etc. Perhaps the lack of exynos is the problem? It definitely made me appreciate my GN. The international note likely is the way to go.

Tmobile really dropped the ball..they should of released the Galaxy Nexus...it has 1700 3g..

according to this we use 1900MHz in San Diego on Tmo.. I have yet to hear that anyone gets 3G on the Note with Tmo here. I am getting mine later this week so I cant test to make sure just yet.

One user in the q/a section posted a screen shot of his phone sporadically getting 3g from TMobile on the 1900 band. Some people can be very lucky depending on where you live

How to get T-Mobile network working on GT-N7000 galaxy note

Hello everyone. I been using the international galaxy note ever since it came out. Still using it here on T-Mobile edge network. I head that its possible that the unlocked galaxy note can also use T-Mobile 4g now. Can anyone please give me some more info. About it. Is it actually possible ? If it is how ?. Plz need some help. I'm paying for 4g but stuck with 2g on my lovely note.

T-mobile is "refarming" 1700 and 1900mHz frequencies, so as I understand it, 3G and H+ speeds should be available for the GT-N7000, and iPhone, in your area soon. I was assured it would be working while at the store today when I got a new SIM for mine. (Given that I was getting the SIM and service for the H+ speeds, I can't imagine the reps there would be misrepresenting what's available). I'm still only getting an E, but I may not have the right radio/modem firmware.

it has nothing to do with your radio or your firmware.... the radio for 1700 has not been successfully cracked yet so it is all up to tmobile... if they told you its on in your area and youre still getting edge its probably something you misunderstood or was told wrong... either way they are adding the 1900 freq which is in the international 7000. the key word there is adding. now tmo has stated they want it to be across the usa by the end of the year so take that how you may... so far they have added cities to the list that have been turned on to the 1900 freq... i believe you can find where has been and whats upcoming from either the tmo website a free call to 611, or a trip to a corporate store....
so they have heard right to a point... just in a few areas so far... soon to be more... we hope...

Just a "note" to say don't give up hope. I've been waiting forever and getting by with a combination of EDGE on my Note, or putting my SIM in a TMO GSIII to get HSPA+ there. Last week I bought an international Note II which has the same 1900 3G band as the Note 1. I was literally on the day where I'd have to decide whether to keep the Note 2, or return it and wait for the TMO version to get 3G. That very night, I got home and found EDGE totally gone. No data at all on the Note 2. As I was calling TMO to ask what was going on (and hoping beyond hope it was refarming) the TMO site serving my house flickered its refarmed 1900 3G on for a test. I couldn't believe it. It felt like Christmas!! I got speeds of over 7Mbps on my first tests. I sat there running speed tests instead of going to sleep lol. Alas, the 3G was gone by morning and for a while even EDGE was gone, but it came back later in the day. That was Monday. Since then (now Thursday), 1900 3G has been going on and off on more sites around my area. It's working fairly well at my work right now, but comes and goes now and then. They are obviously preparing my area for a proper switchover which, given the amount of testing they are doing, will hopefully be soon. I've gotten 12Mbps on a couple of daytime speed tests! Anyway, the fact that it seems imminent for my area, pretty much cemented my decision to keep the International Note 2 GT-N7100. I guess the moral of the story is, TMO are definitely working on it! I'm in the Chicago north west suburbs BTW.

Second the airportal link. Some areas have a lot of 1900 filled out already... where are you located OP?

i thought i would bump this old threat instead of opening a new one. im in nyc and tmo refarmed their 3g in december last year. just wanted
to see if there were any success stories as far as using the n7000 with the new refarmed frequencies. many thanks

Hi,here just south of Chicago I started getting 3G and HSPA+ around 1st week in January on T-mobile on same international version GT-N7000. It's not consistent but in areas around my job I get 3G solid for whole day. Also wanted to add Zedomax. (HighOnAndroid). just relased Youtube video that T-mobile
is updating to 4G LTE in certain areas. Waiting anxiously, just hope my note is capable.

I have been getting 3G and H+ signal on my N7000 for about a week now here in Bellingham, WA. But where I live in Blaine, WA I am still getting 2G signal. Hopefully T-Mobile will get it working in Blaine soon. It's only about 12 miles from Bellingham.

T-Mobioe vs Developer HTC One?

Hello,
I promise this is the last time I ask this question.
T-Mobile version or Developer unlocked version? Price and space is not an issue for me.
I also live in New York City so I am in a reframed 1900MHz area.
Thanks,

You could always get sim unlocked 32gb for 579 but if you are tmo definitely get unlocked or dev.

T-Mobile since it has the AWS bands... You might be in a refarmed area but it's nice to have the aws when you go into an area with out the 1900 refarm.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I'm still not convinced either way. I don't travel much within the USA, so I don't think I'll be much in places without 1900MHz since I live in New York City.
So if I'm almost always in a 1900MHz reframed area, then I'll be just fine getting the developer edition right? The whole of New York is covered by the new 1900MHz right?

The city Queens and Long Island have been refarmed from where I've been. 1700mHz won't matter after LTE it's rolled out.

If space is not an issue for you, I would recommend T-mobile. I had Droid DNA (frequency the same as new one dev edition, except for LTE) on T-mobile in Tampa, which is a reframed 1900mhz area, and it didn't work very well. Having 1900mhz only makes you lose HSPA+ easily in a building. I chose dev. edition because I want 64GB and unlocked bootloader without losing warranty. Otherwise, I would choose T-mobile.

I chose the t-mobile version and cancelled my dev order. I decided I could live with 32 gb. To tmo will have full aws speeds now and lte speeds later. The only advantage to the dev is that it has that extra memory. The tmo phone can easily be unlocked.

Once fully paid for you can request a sim unlock code from Tmobile. I've heard that they might make you wait 40 days from purchase before giving out the code.
To unlock the bootloader you can go to htcdev.com

Once you pay it in full, or after 3 months of service, they'll unlock it

They both the same phone, its up you. if you travel a lot (Outside the country) then get the unlocked version.. or if you plan on switching carriers later on get the unlocked version.. regardless you'll be able to unlock the T-Mobile version also but deal with any bloatware they add and you'll have to wait for your carrier to approve updates
unlocked version roms can be flashed on the ATT/T-Mobile version .. plus the bootloader is unlocked on both..
If money isn't a issue then why are you even asking this question? just buy the unbranded version which supports LTE on both networks (if im correct) Just know T-Mobile won't replace it and you'll have to go thru HTC and their warranty agreements.. (if the unlocked bootloader even comes with warranty)

It was so bad that my friend switched to Straight Talk... (I only visited Tampa for one month but my friend lives there) The only difference is that when New York has Tmobile LTE, new One dev. edition will work under LTE. But before LTE comes, it would probably be similar to what my friend experienced in Tampa.

So assuming NYC gets LTE by the summer (I'll be gone to India anyway for the summer), I'll be fine getting by with one month of 2G. The Dev version has more bands right so supports it works better in most countries?

Yes, if outside of USA, I believe you'll have higher chance of getting a compatible frequency with Dev. Edition. I actually chose dev. edition over T-mobile because I am moving to a place where T-mobile has LTE. But my experience reminds me that I should test the speed before I switch from Straight Talk to T-mobile.

I use the T-Mobile version in NYC, and it has better reception where I live as it accesses 1700 AWS HSPA+42, and I get better in building reception with that compared to 1900 (or the kick out to EDGE - ugh!), and voice calls are also better for some reason (not to mention Wifi calling - which I LOST when I flashed AR6 - if someone knows when the T-Mobile ROM will be out, let us know, can't wait to switch back and have that back).
The T-mobile version, even flashed with another rom, doesn't allow Hotspot natively without kicking u to sign up for a hotspot plan, whereas the AT&T version allows hotspot functionality without a headache once you flash another rom and replace the stock AT&T rom.

Unlocked on T-Mobile

There seems to be some confusion about this phone working on T-Mobile 4g
YES THE PHONE WORKS!! however if you want 4g you need to be in a 1900 refarmed area and yes LTE works as well.
I live in Katy, Texas which is a suburb of Houston which is a 1900 refarmed area. Phone works perfectly fine. I didn't have to do any set up. Basically just like a tmo phone. I haven't noticed LTE yet. It switches from 3g to H. Runs just as fast as my nexus 4 and one s. Just thought I would drop this info, hopefully it helped someone.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

I would like to confirm that the Unlocked 32GB HTC One works perfectly in Phoenix, AZ as well. We're another 1900MHz refarm, and I've spotted LTE in some areas as well. Don't be afraid to grab this from HTC rather than dealing with T-Mobile's shinanigans and bloatware.

I'm in the boston area, which is also refarmed. pretty much same experience as op. all the set up was automatic.
the only thing different is indoors, sitting at my desk which is 3 feet from the window, my phone switches between E, 3g, and H every few minutes like it cant get a stable connection.
havent gone outdoors yet.
Speedtest during H connection was: 104ms ping, 5.13Mbps down, 2.07Mbps up
this is comparable to my g2 speedtests

Working faster than my galaxy nexus around chicagoland, only problem is that I cant no longer tether even with the mod UAstring but If I switch back to the galaxy nexus everything works fine. We need to fix this issue ASAP

I live in SD, our refarm is kind of strange and this is the first time I've ever used it(only used primarily tmobile phones for last 10 years). The one thing I will say is that it in SD it seems every other tower has been refarmed, as I will keep going in and out of HSPA. This was seen as I was driving around on the freeway(not texting but checking service). Another thing is that I can be on a tower that has been refarmed, go into a building, and have it revert to edge from HSPA outside. And then when I take a couple steps outside the building it works again.
Also I was wondering if anyone else has handcut their sim to microsim? I'm hoping that may be the issue, and if I get an official tmobile microsim it will be fine. Otherwise the refarm is superb when it works, getting about 10 Mbps down with my handcut(from diagram) sim

Houston Area
The Developer Edition work fine in Houston area. However, the data speed is jumpy. My Note 2 LTE speed stay above 15 MBS all the time but the One LTE will go from 5 MBS to 20 MBS. H+ on the one is not stable at all. Tmo agent told me to call back in a week for more info. If someone find out a way to optimize the Dev edition on Tmo radio please let me know.

Finally got tethering working by using FoxFi and I get around 10mpbs, the stock one that comes with the phone doesnt quite work for tmobile.

New to the htc one but what is the tmo radio required for? Since it already works unlocked?

If I'm not mistaking it's 1700/1900/LTE out of the box the unlocked one doesn't have 1700 enabled. I'm sure a dev will eventually get it done. If you want 3g/4g data then you need to be in a 1900 refarmed area.

The ATT/dev ones are 850/1900/2100MHz UMTS; band 4 (AWS) is the only UMTS band that uses 1700MHz at all.
I wouldn't count on getting AWS enabled on the dev version. It is very likely that the allowed bands are configured in hardware as has generally been the case on MDM9x15 devices.

The unlocked version is strictly worse from a 3G standpoint but might have a couple of extra LTE frequencies (not 100% sure on that one, tmo version definitely is bands 4/17 only). AFAIK the only other place AWS is at all likely to matter is Canada, but assuming tmo will unlock your One there is no frequency advantage to getting the unlocked version from HTC--I think it's $5 cheaper.

If you travel internationally then that's a huge advantage.. but I'm sure tmobile will unlock your phone, if you ask. I purchased the unlocked version because I didn't wanna deal with my uncle (account holder) nor tmobile. Plus there wasnt any information about tmobiles release at the time, I so I hopped on the unlocked version.

The one thing I will say is that it in SD it seems every other tower has been refarmed, as I will keep going in and out of HSPA. This was seen as I was driving around on the freeway(not texting but checking service). Another thing is that I can be on a tower that has been refarmed, go into a building, and have it revert to edge from HSPA outside. And then when I take a couple steps outside the building it works again.
Also I was wondering if anyone else has handcut their sim to microsim? I'm hoping that may be the issue, and if I get an official tmobile microsim it will be fine. Otherwise the refarm is superb when it works, getting about 10 Mbps down with my handcut(from diagram) sim

Just the way non T-Mobile phones work in San Diego. I have the same exact issues with my one x. Compared to T-Mobile phones the data connection is extremely unreliable constantly switching and dropping ESPECIALLY inside. Same thing with my wife's unlocked iPhone on T-Mobile.

Same Here I come from AT&T and I dont like them, I bought this phone to use it with T-Mobile, but I really had it with this HTC One 64GB Developer Edition, HTC should of included AWS 1700mhz on this phone for being such a premium phone with a high price... I'm having the same issue with T-Mobiles Refarm @ 1900mhz keeps dropping from H to EDGE, and I just spoke to my Buddy that works for T-Mobile and there LTE will be on AWS 1700MHZ... I'm shipping this phone back to HTC, I was thinking of buying T-Mobiles HTC One Branded phone that includes the AWS 1700mhz Band, but I don't like the fact that its only a 32GB. I'm going to miss this phone. Ohh well S4 is around the corner maybe I could give Sammy a shot.

Moto X (Carrier Unlocked Version)

Greetings All,
I purchased a carrier unlocked version of the Moto X from a retailer on ebay. Here's the item number:290976476988 (I would provide the link, but I am not allowed to since I'm a new user). It had a pretty significant markdown from what Motorola is selling them for, so I decided to take a shot in the dark hoping it will work with my carrier, T-mobile, which I'm pretty confident it will. I should be receiving mine at the top of next week, so I'll check back with my results once I get everything squared away.
In the mean time, can anybody confirm if there is one universal carrier unlocked version that will work with T-mobiles bands? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

It will but is missing the AWS 1700 HSPA frequency. If you go to or live in an area that is not refarmed you will be stuck on EDGE.

Well I think I may have lucked up, as I did a couple of quick searches and it looks like I'm in an area with 1900 MHz HSPA coverage. Does 1900 MHz constitute "refarmed" HSPA?

Yes but what I try telling people on here just like I did with the HTC One (and later if you look on those forums many people started getting rid of their developer edition for a tmobile one) is that just because your area is refarmed doesn't mean every inch of it is. I would had to drive to the mall and realize i'm only on EDGE after spending $500+ on a phone. If you area has LTE that will help though. Also if you ever travel anywhere you run into the chance of not having 3G.

No doubt, and I appreciate the concern as well as the explanation. I live about 10 minutes away from the Loop in Chicago, and I had my Nexus 4 working off of the LTE hack for quite some time until I upgraded to 4.3. I had LTE coverage about 90% of the time, but when I travel to see my Ma in the suburbs I remained on HSPA+ (not sure if its refarmed out that way).
We'll see how I do for the first week. If anything I'll just return this one and just get the T-mobile variant. Hopefully T-mobile continues to expand their LTE coverage in the surrounding areas around the prime metro areas. I've kinda accepted that I won't have mobile data in the boonies, but hopefully T-mobile fixes that soon as well.
