First of all hello, I've tried to search for this question but I couldnt find a solid answer, so this is my question I know the T-Mobile SG3 can be used with other carriers such as Simple Mobile and you would still get 4G service and such, now what about the AT&T SG3 , can it be used with a different carrier and still get 4G? I ask this question because even though this phone is GSM it has LTE. I bought an AT&T SG3 and I just need to know if I can switch to Simple Mobile or T-mobile monthly plans. Thank you very much!

You can use AT&T, T-Mobile, and GT-N7105...just flash the correct CSC files.

CSC files don't matter; what you need is the correct modem. I restored a Nandroid of my AT&T Note 2 onto my T-Mobile Note 2 and it worked perfectly fine. Modems aren't included in a backup, so there's nothing to worry about.
can you also use the ATT gnote2 on Tmobile with everything working i.e calls, sms, mms , web , LTE 4g fully working ? would imagine you could

I have both the AT&T and T-Mobile version. Out of the box, the AT&T version doesn't do AWS (1700 MHz), HOWEVER, there's an extremely simple mod to activate it (it's supported, just turned off internally). It doesn't even require root or a custom ROM, and there's no way to tell it's been done (aside from you start getting HSPA+). Then you'll be able to get HSPA+ on T-Mobile just like the T-Mobile version does. However, LTE for T-Mobile works out of the box.

Well, the only two national GSM carriers in the country are AT&T and T-Mobile. Aside from that there are regional carriers and MVNO's (networks that piggyback off of T-Mobile/AT&T). You're free to use any GSM network. It's not like CDMA where you're stuck with the carrier the phone is for, unless you do some extremely flashing. With GSM, everything just works.

99.9% of the time, no. If they're AROMA-installer based, they usually ask you what modem you want to flash or if you want to keep your current one. Just be aware that reflashing even the one that's already on the device means you have to reapply the mod.

So like I have an att note 2 but am using it for T-Mobile, can I just flash a T-Mobile ROM so I can use WiFi calling?
So basically WiFi calling on an Att note 2 unlocked for T-Mobile.

Yes. I did that, and now I'm doing the same on my AT&T S4.
Just don't flash the tmobile modem on your at&t device. You will have problems.

Yeah. What happens is the phone will show no signal in the signal bar (which is normal), but will also show a blue wifi calling icon in the notification bar to let you know it's working. Custom ROMs usually don't have a modem included; if they do, they usually give you the option to keep the one already on your phone.

I've been hearing a lot of stories that users using a t mobile note 3 on the ATT network were having issues with reception and getting and holding onto LTE. Seems like an important enough topic to deserve its own thread. Initially I'd like to see issues with the Note 3 as I'm still deciding which carrier model I'll go with, but eventually we can put information on the Note 4 when its released.
I may just eat the locked bootloader with ATT. Really the only things I would miss are xposed modules and titanium, I'm not into custom roms anyhow. Tmobile reception is just too horrible in my area so staying on their network isn't an option.
EDIT: Also wondering if the Tmobile phone can use the ATT Microcell? Also can the Tmobile do tethering on the ATT network?
Edit2: I'd love to see some db numbers as it seems just judging reception by bars is highly inaccurate, most users don't even realize tmobile uses 4 bars versus ATT's 5 bars.
I have the at&t note 3 and the the tmobile note3.I have been using the tmobile note 3 on at&t service since the day it came out. I get the same coverage as the at&t model including lte with no problems sometimes better on the tmobile version. I will be buying the note 4 on tmobile Again to use with my att service until the note edge comes out. I will be buying the tmobile note 4 version again thus year because of the att locked bootloader crap. I can live without the roms but not root access, xposed and wanam apk take care pretty much of the rom stuff. It takes to long to get root on the att model. Look how long we had to wait last year just for root and the bootloader is still locked tight, with no promise of ever being unlocked. The tmobile note 4 will be probally rooted in the first week if release., Bye, Bye, AT&T PHONES ,YOU SUCK AT&T..
I was one of the people to use the TMO Note 3 on AT&T who had reception issues. HSPA+ reception was fine, LTE reception was awful. It wouldn't even pick it up in areas where an iPhone 5 would sit with 2 LTE bars.
Having used the TMO S5 on AT&T, I didn't have any problems. The note 4 should be fine.

Had nothing but LTE reception issues with my TMO Note 3 on AT&T. For this alone, I'll pick up the AT&T Note 4. I don't have much need for root nowadays anyway.
I've been using the T-mobile Note 3 on AT&T for a year now and haven't had reception issues. It does switch to HSPA+ from LTE earlier than my ATT note 2 did but the db signal strength was the same.
Having root is an absolute must for me. I have to have adaway, truecrypt (EDS), debloat, and Titanium backup. I would pull my hair out (what's left of it) looking at all the ads on my phone.

I'd rather have reception than the very few remaining reasons to root these days as I use my phone for business and it's crucial. It may be a small difference or large, but I can't take that chance. Really the last reason I root is titanium and xposed.
My G3 (AT&T variant) has real trouble holding onto LTE, and my Nexus 5 was much the same way.
Makes me think a lot of it is just their network.
I had much better LTE signal/performance on T-Mobile. But better overall voice coverage with AT&T.
I'm also on ATT considering getting the TMo version for unlocked bootloader. Is there a map that shows which bands my city uses (or does it matter)?
Thanks,
-PDX
I am getting the TMO N4 to put on AT&T also. I don't have any plans to put any custom roms on it but I figured if I was going to pay full price for a phone I might as well get all the options. I am trying to decide if I am going to pay to have it unlocked before the 40 days that TMO requires or just wait it out.

If root is an absolute must for you, then what's going to happen when root is completely locked down? It seems like things are going that direction. Will you not use a smartphone anymore?

Ya, they are slowly backing us into a corner. I don't like google's stance on no sd card slots with nexus devices. Soooooo, as long as T-mobile keeps unlocked bootloaders (which is a free pass to root) I'll probably stay with Samsung.

It's already here. Chainfire released it a few days ago. (for the t-mobile version)
I've been using an unlocked T-Mobile note 3 since it came out with no issues with LTE speeds/coverage. I want the note 4 but hadn't read anywhere that it was confirmed to have an unlocked bootloader. Has anyone confirmed that the bootloader is unlocked? Also are the bands going to cover us for all our services on att? Also att is coming out with LTE-A soon, will the note 4 unlocked support it?

Hopefully it's the same case for the AT&T and VZW versions. I really don't want to have to sell it immediately and then go through the process of buying a TMO one.
Would've done that outright, but I can't afford it at full retail. Had to go with a 2yr upgrade and the BB promotion.
u-dig?
Of course the tmo version doesn't work perfect out of the box, but after some minor modifications it will work beautifully!
I've had a tmo note 3 over a year with excellent results!!!
You will need to configure the build prop and configure the apn for ATT..
Then enjoy!

Can You unlock an ATT Note 4 To work on T mobile? I tried out The service I have never seen data speeds so fast before In my life. 70 down 20 up. Will the bootloaders Unlock if I have The phone unlocked for their Network?

As Verizon is charging $700 compared to the 800+ at&t is charging for an off contract note 4 I was wondering if its possible to use the off contract verizon Note 4 on AT&T. I have a mobile share plan with AT&T with other lines still in contract so I can't easily switch to verizon or I would. Does anyone know?

How would one use a CDMA device on a GSM network??
It was my understanding that all Verizon phones now had a SIM slot for LTE Compatibility? I assumed if the Sim slot was unlocked you'd be able to put an AT&T sim card in and configure carrier settings and get access but wanted to confirm?

Most modern Verizon phones have GSM radios in it, and it's unlocked.
The problem with using Verizon's Note 4 on AT&T is LTE. They don't have the same radio, so you'd be stuck on AT&T's 3G.
This was the conversation I had with an AT&T rep today. She was convinced I could just buy the Note 4 from VZW at $699 and bring it over to AT&T... she didn't mention, nor did she seem to be aware that LTE would not work.
Yes well, it all depends on the ATT LTE Band that's in use in your area. I have a VZW S5 that's on ATT prepaid pulling LTE all day. Band 7 I believe.
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
VZW phones generally have radios with some overlapping LTE band coverage with both ATT and TMO. AWS Band 4 I believe is used by all 3 carriers but not in all areas of the US.
Unfortunately VZW mainly uses Band 13 and ATT band 17 although supposedly Samsung devices have this enabled in the Hidden Menus but I have never gotten band 17 on ATT.
My 2 cents
Verizon's website says their model supports bands 4 and 13. The AT&T website says their model supports bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, 20, and 29. From what I remember, AT&T's primary LTE bands are 4 and 17 so if Verizon is being completely truthful and it doesn't support any other bands other than 4 and 13, your LTE coverage may be spotty or even completely non existent.
Verizon Note 4 is out now...
Anyone have a report yet?
I can confirm verizon note 4 is working on at&t & tmobile.
I just got my verizon note 4 today and i put my tmobile sim in it and i had to do apn settings and it worked fine the only problem is lte is not working it worked on hspa and my speeds were 6mb down and 2.5 mb up. Which is good for me.
But if u want to use lte u have to enable band 4 which is locked on verizon model. To enanble it u neef to root ur phone with chainfire root (it's the only method to root right now) but it will trip knox sensor and void ur warranty .
And same applies for at&t. No lte but 6mb on hsps looks good to me.

So the Note 4 requires root to enable the service menus in order to enable the various bands available on the phone. Verizon has chosen to restrict this access. You need to modify the build.prop and the efs\carrier\hiddenMenu file. So until a root procedure is available the retail version is stuck with HSPA+, which isn't too bad I guess.
Working on my s5 I have made the changes but I am still figuring out how to exactly turn on the disabled bands. I am also hoping these modifications will apply to the Note 4 once root is available.

I have a POS s3 mini as a work phone (att) I've put that Sim in my Verizon s4 and all was good. Traveling internationally put the att Sim in my vzw note 4 I get voice but not data connections.

You have to modify the APN settings after you put the ATT sim in the VZW phone.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried flashing the phone with ATT's firmware. Perhaps this is a more benign method which, as a plus, would show ATT logos throughout the interface. I'm having a verizon note 4 given to me; I'm considering my options.
Any here have a pixel 3 from canada. Just wondering if Roger's or bell lock their bootloaders?

Good to know. I'm coming form samsung S8. I ended up buying the European version so I could root. Roger's locks the samsung down.

The only thing i'm disappointed with is that Fido did not provision it for video calling. I spoke to the tech department and was told Google will be rolling out an update to fix that and RCS because the phone is not reading what features the plan has.
Then I was told that video calling over the network is not capable because the phone comes preloaded with DUO which it does not. So I don't know what to believe but I would like for them to provision it for the video calling so I don't have to use my data.
I unlocked and rooted mine on Telus.
i am with bell Canada and have a google store unlocked pixel 3 xl. turns out bell retards only allow bell sold phones to work with WiFi calling. has someone found a way around this?
it also seems this functionality only works in Canada! has anyone tried using a vpn connection to Canada to be able to use this functionality?
reason why i am so interested is my work takes me where there is no cell coverage and having WiFi calling would be great!
thanks

I doubt it to be honest. You can try talking with tech support and see. But unless it's registered as sold in their database it might not be able to
Still doesn't make any sence, all they require is google pixel 3... No where does it say bell issued. It's carrier unlocked so why would it make any sence they give partial access to what is offered to the phones sold by bell... And yes I talked to them no one knows why and they rather loose a client than change it. . They are idiots!

Have you tried calling bell to see if they'd connect it for you? I did that with Telus with my new non Telus 3XL, and they were able to make the WiFi calling work.
