I am getting ready to trade for a Note tomorrow and I stumbled upon something in the development section in the root guide. A guy said he couldn't get data to work and someone else responded with this "I was having the same problem & had to use the LTE SIM card & switch my unlimited 3G plan over to an unlimited LTE plan. After that, my data started working". Does this mean that my Red Pocket plan will not work with the AT&T version of the note? I have to have an LTE Sim? I have been wanting this phone forever and if this is true Any insight would be great. Thanks
Are you trading in person? Just let the Guy know you will need to verify it works with your RP sim first.

I'm having to drive almost 2 hours to get the phone. I really don't want to make the drive to find out it won't. I just called my local at&t and told them I was planning on purchasing one off contract from them and ask them if it had to have an LTE sim. He said he had never heard of red pocket but he did said yes...it has to have an LTE sim....****!
Did you verify that it had to have an lte sim to get lte service or that it had to have an lte sim to work period? Big difference and one the normal CS Rep wouldn't know.

According to the guy in post 172 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218&page=18 It won't work at all. I will try to call CS at AT&T and try to find out more info.
The person that I'm trading with also has an iphone and is going to try its sim card when she gets home. I will post the results so it may help someone else in the future.
It could. People are having problems connecting to AT&T without an AT&T LTE SIM, but that doesn't mean the phone rejects SIMs from other carriers.
The iPhone SIM probably won't work on her Note by the way for the same reason, it's still AT&T. You're much better off calling Red Pocket and seeing what they say.
EDIT: You might see if anyone here as activated their Note on T-Mo as well. If they have, then you can feel pretty confident it will work on Red Pocket because you know it will work on non-AT&T/LTE SIM cards.

Thats a thought. I didn't think people were getting t-mobile to work but I will check. I would rather take a bullet than to call Red Pocket but will try again. Thanks
Dude in the T-Mobile 3g thread has it unlocked but did not say if it was working or not. Can only assume it is because you would think he would have mentioned sim card errors.

Anyone on a prepaid service with the Note?
There is no such thing as an "lte sim" all of att sim cards are the same, however if you unlock it it shouldnt matter what service you have.....data speed is a differnt issue

Call AT&T and check the Android development section and supposedly there is a LTE sim. I don't have to "unlock" an AT&t phone for red pocket because it uses AT&T towers. I just read where you couldn't get data without a LTE sim on this phone and thats what I'm trying to find out. Not trying to be a **** but I'm driving an hour and a half for a hell of a trade for the Note and just don't want to waste my time...AND GAS!
I have the same sim i have had since my inspire, no such thing
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note aka "The beast"
Easiest way to tell is find a friend with any lte,or 4g if you get data it works or pop your sim into a floor model at a store but att telling you there is a special sim card is a lie

Sweet. Red Pocket has an app for that so I will check before i buy. Thanks for the info again.
Like the thread says, I'm just wondering if after i unlock a Samsung Galaxy Note 4G LTE so that i can use it on my network, if it'll downgrade to HSPA+ or keep the 4G LTE
Nothing will change unless you flash a radio that does not support lte but even then you could just flash the stock radio again.

Do a speed test ... if you see 32Mb download then you are on LTE, HSPA mode will hover around 6Mb.

Hi,
I searched and couldn't find anything like this. I just purchased an unlocked amaze. I put my sim in turned it on and it won't connect to the network. I tried going into settings>mobile network>network operators>search networks> at this point it finds both t-mobile's and at&t's networks when I click on t-mobile it says registering on t-mobile and then after a while says your sim does not allow a connection to this network. I spent all morning with someone in a t-mobile store he gave me a new sim but when that didn't work had no idea what to do.
Thanks for any help!

How do you know that?
That's basically common knowledge. Plus Hasoon unlocks phones and is a recognized developer and contributor to the community.
If you wanna prove Hasoon's theory, simply put an AT&T SIM in, if it detects and works fine, well you have your answer.

I'm getting text, but no data otherwise it seems. Nothing in web browser, etc. I see a 4G logo. My network info says:
Operator Name: T-Mobile
Mobile Network Type: UMTS
Service state: In service
Is it the mobile network type that is wrong? How do I change it?
EDIT: Seems like maybe I have to set the APN? Are these correct? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236735
Yes, when switching carriers you will need to manually add the APN if the SIM card didn't automatically do it for you.
I don't have T-Mobile, but that looks good to me.

He is likely in a T-Mobile refarmed area so 1900 MHz UMTS is available, while your area doesn't have this.
Go to http://airportal.de to get an (unofficial) view of where this is available.

The final answer is yes. The AT&T HTC One and the international/developer edition are exactly the same. Both support the frequencies used by T-Mobile. However, if you're not in a refarmed area listed here, then you won't be getting HSPA+. You'll get calls, text, MMS, but restricted to 2G as far as data goes until your towers are refarmed.
There are alot of threads on this topic in this forum as well as on the international/developer forums supporting this.
I had been getting speeds well over 20mbps on my Nexus 4... cracked the screen this weekend and connected an unlocked HTC One, from AT&T. I'm getting 5mbps now. I changed the settings as the OP did.
I am wondering if the speed reduction is due to the new phone, or because I recently switched from a "Unlimited" (with 5gigs of unlimited data) contract plan to a truly unlimited month-to-month "uncarrier" plan.
I made the change on Monday or so of last week, and within 24-48 hours was having poor/limited reception in my home and nearby, in my town, which I previously NEVER had issues in.
@OP- How did you go about getting yours unlocked? I'm trying to unlock mine to make it more valuable on craigslist and AT&T said that someone will get back to me by the 9th, which won't work for me.
