[Q] VZW Note 3 Flash to Straight Talk 4G? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am done with Big RED!!!
Is it known if a Straight talk SIM will work on the VZW Note 3"?

[Q] Nexus 7 3G No Data with AT&T SIM

I just got my Nexus 7 3G and inserted my SIM from my AT&T Galaxy Note II. I get 4 bars but cannot get data. I have tried using several of the AT&T APN settings I have used on other devices but cannot get data to work. Has any other AT&T user got this to work?
Note: I finally got it to work using the old wap.cingular settimgs.

Hope you have the right data package on your account or you're going to get flagged.
Yep I did, I clipped my Sim from my galaxy note/added new apn (same one I used for the note)/ took a few secs but worked just like that

I had to go into settings / wireless and network / more....... /mobile networks and then make sure that enable data is checked.

Speed test on AT&T network - T-Mobile (unlocked) V AT&T Note 3

I have the t mob version and it seems to work fine on attending but I would be interested to know if anyone has done a side by side test with an att version to see if they really do get same speed, same signal etc.
While devices are supposed to be the same, is it possible that the radio software may not be, I. E. specifically for the AT&T or the mobile network?
On my other AT&T devices the radios were updated from time to time by AT&T which is why I ask.
Anyone?
Update: I ran speed test on my T-Mobile note 3 on att versus an att Galaxy s4 a number of times. Download speed was about 50 per cent faster on the Note but Upload speed was consistently about 30 per cent of the s4. Anyone know why?

I've run speed test on my S4 (AT&T) and Note 3 (T Mobile) and they are consistently the same on AT&T LTE.

Sorry for sounding dumb. What do you mean radios were updated? Perhaps being a t mobile note 3 user on AT&T one would need to insert an active t mobile sim in for updates ?

AT&T doesn't prioritize any device, just so you all know. If that was the case, you'd all be seeing 1mbps for LTE. I used an unbranded/International Galaxy S3 on AT&T and I got the same HSPA+ speeds as my AT&T S3. The phone will just show up as an unknown device.
I have both an ATT and a T-Mobile Note 3, and the speeds are essentially the same with the same sim card.

Tmobile on verizon note 3

I have a verizon note 3. I am on tmobile now. Using a jelly bean rom, I have everything working except for wi fi calling? Anyone know how to get it? or how to load a tmobile rom on the verizon note 3?
I tried loading a tmobile rom but the wifi would not connect?
Thanks,
Kevin
My first question to you would be do you have the correct APN configured for T-Mobile?

Wifi calling won't work for you even with a tmobile rom. Reason. It's tied into the tmobile service. However I've flashed a rom from every carrier and can confirm all but wifi calling works on non tmobile roms. Flash rom> flash wifi bluetooth data fix (find it on tmobile forum under international rom port) > flash kernel> flash csc files for your carrier (opitonal)

Would I be correct to assume that I would get 4g on metropcs with a sim because its basically tmobile?

Can you guys point me in the right direction to get the apn for LTE on metro? I've never set an apn before.

Out of curiosity, have those who have used T-Mobile SIM been able to get MMS? I found all the APN settings online in multiple places. Even used the APN from my TMO Moto X and can't get MMS to work. Always gets stuck in "downloading".
I haven't tried it on a bone stock TW ROM yet. Maybe issues with messaging apps on other ROMs??
Everything else works flawlessly. Even better speeds and signal strength than VZW in my area.
Won't see sim card.
I have a Verizon note 3 and it won't see my T-Mobile sim card. No matter what the sim won't register and I get a X over the signal bars. I already tried a Verizon sim and it works perfectly so I know it's not a hardware issue. Any solutions or ideas?
do a hard reset and then after that make sure your SIM card is the correct one its clean the contacts are in the correct position and then finally it should load up
if I may ask did you activate the phone when you first turn it on if not you're able to bypass the activation while using a Verizon dummy SIM card or no sim
once you load up your tmobile sim card in the top left notification area you should see where it says unknown sender is inserted
once you see this message you should be able to call anyone you'd like

Hey Kevin,
How about we trade phones an call it a day lol, i'm looking for a Verizon Note 3 since my company phone is Verizon (iphone5) - anyways my personal phone is a Note 3 for T-Mobile and was unlocked by receiving the password from T-Mobile (sim unlock) but still can't use it on Verizon. Msg me if interested please.
Thanks,
Daniel
So verizon note 3, can i use it internationally?
with the note 2 i rooted, flashed beans rom, then used hiAPN when I went overseas.
Note 3, much more difficult now?
Thanks~
You also have to change the Internet provider setting under network and select tmobile. There's a video about it on YouTube.

Quick Question regarding Nexus 4.

i got my Nexus 4 as a replacement phone for Tmo SG2 from t mobile. Now i am thinking of switching my network to H2O wireless which works in att network ...i know Nexus 4 must come unlocked but since i got it from t mobile...is it unlocked or tied to t mobile?? also how good is H2O wireless if anyone knows... which would be better H2O or simple mobile? i am leaning towards H2O because it works with att network and att has better network than t mobile. please correct me if i am wrong. will lte work with H2O?
i know it's lot of questions i just don't want to regret after switching my network.
Thanks in advance.
