If so what steps would be required to make the phone compatible?
It would work. You would just need to root your device and flash a ROM that has access to the APN settings so you would be able to get data and mma

Would LTE work with it after that?
ROM recommendations?
There are several different threads where this kind of thing is discussed. But to answer your question, no. AIO operates on atts network, the Verizon note 2 is not compatible with their lte band. Best you'd get is 3g.
What about a tmobile note 2?

Are you sure? The Note 2 should be hardware compatible with any U.S. carrier.

Technically it is hardware compatible, though not fully functional. AT&T and Verizon deliver their LTE on different parts of the spectrum. As someone pointed out above, they are different(unsupported) bands.

I believe the bands can be unlocked. The phone hardware is literally identical. It may require another carrier's radios and/or kernel. It may also be possible in the service menu.
I dont know about you but I have a verizon galaxy note 2.. I first went with t-mobile and didnt like it because all I got was 2g (ew) second I went with straight talk with there sim kit that comes with sim card or instructions for cdma. I now get 2.5gb data 3g & hspa+ (4g) and only pay $45 a month. Happy camper here.. the kit also comes with straight talk apn guide thay you copy onto your phone. The carrier name on the phone will not be straight talk.. it'll say home.

HSPA+ is not the same as LTE(HSPA+ is like faux 4G). Though, data speeds with HSPA+ will still be much faster than 3G. You should not have any problem connecting to HSPA+ with a verizon rom and kernel. I haven't tried it with any domestic carriers yet, but have with carriers outside of the US with no problems.

Just ordered up an unlocked SGS2 and can't wait for it to arrive.
I've been reading on the forums here and it seems that the SGS2 will work with an AT&T Medianet plan ($10 or $15/mo)... (Maybe without HSPA+, but that's OK... I'll just be happy to have the SGS2 )
Now that AT&T has announced the SGS2 for the US market... Will unlocked (grey market) versions of the SGS2 continue to work with Medianet data plans?
I don't think anyone here can give you a clear answer until the phone comes out.
People that bought unlocked Xperia X10s did get bumped to the smartphone plans when at&t released the X10, let's hope that isn't the case for this phone.
I'm going to guess it will be fine.. Reason is:
With the original Galaxy S, the "i9000" from bell worked fine, because AT&T's version was called the "Captivate". As far as I know the Rogers Captivate was recognized by AT&T because it was the same device. Since AT&T has a name, "Attain" I don't think that qualifies as any of the Unlocked International versions.
Correct me if I am wrong but I thought AT&T had some exclusivity with the X10 which I think is why they had all the info, like with the Dell Streak.
Again, just a semi-educated guess.
The ATT device has no name other than Galaxy SII
The model number for AT&T's variant is SGH-i927 vs. GT-i9100 for the international version. In order for AT&T to track international SGS2's Samsung would have to provide them with the IMEI numbers for every phone they've sold worldwide. I'd guess that's very unlikely to happen.

I don't know that the model number matters. I think it is the IMEI. If the IMEI of the SGH-i927 is very similar to that of the GT-i9100, then AT&Ts system may catch it.
Stop thinking so hard about it. The answer is NO.
Its a completely different model phone.
The only 2 phones that got caught was dell streak and nexus s because they used the same unlocked model.
I've been running unlocked phones for 5-6 years with no issues.

"And hspa + will work also"
Does this mean you can get hspa+ on MediaNet plan?
I thought the consensus on the forum is that you can get (fake)4G only when you are on 4G data plan with appropriate APN settings.

Everyone's on different 3G plans. I'm on the data for non-Smartphones plan and get HSPA+ speeds. I've hit 8MB down when I'm traveling.
Try setting APN to 4G configuration and remove 'standard' APN. You will lose data connection if you do not have 4G SOC on your account. I think what happens is that phone connects to the tower with HSPA+ however the actual speed is capped by the gateway. I wonder if disabling HSPA and using 3G only will decrease actual speed.
I think all 4g is fake but thats another issue.
Whatever is available in your area, you will get. I get hspa+ in my area but its only about 6-8mb download.

Ya, pretty much what BarryH_GEG said.
I am on the non-smartphone data plan too. $10 / month unlimited data. I've hit 6mb downloads, but my average is around 3.5 to 4.5mb.
Ok so the $10 unlimited data is with $20 unlimited messaging correct? Since I don't need messaging I'm on the $15 unlimited data plan. Just want to make sure I'm on the right plan
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Correct the medianet is $10/mo, but you have to have unl txt for $20/mo =$30/mo for unl data & text.
I alsk have the unl data for non-smartphones, aka medianet and I hit data downs if almost 8Mbps sometimes. You'll be fine op on the medianet plan, getting great HSPA+ speeds and saving money.

Just get a non-smartphone and customize the plan to however you want, while asking for the Medianet plan. After that just put the sim card into your imported sgs2 and your done.
So I have a SGS II, and am currently on the iPhone unlimited data plan. In order to switch to a 4G unlimited plan, AT&T said I need an AT&T 4G phone's IMEI so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to send me their IMEI so I can get this faster data plan? Please and thank you!
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
Eh... it isn't any faster? At least not from when I had mine swapped over. The label, which is all that it is, doesn't seem to affect much of anything.
And I can assure you that no one is going to fork over their IMEI for you to give to AT&T.
It's not real 4G and it's no faster than being on the iPhone unlimited plan.

dude... no one is going to give their IMEI out. that's like giving out your car's VIN and registration for loan. their faux-G is on the exact same network you're running off for 3G.
an unlimited 4g plan doesnt exhist with att. i just got off the phone with them and they said that if i want 4g data. i have to drop my 3g unlimited plan and get the 4gb plan.
also. my unlimited data was shown in their system as an iphone unlimited olan. a customer service rep changed it to an " original smart phone data plan" and i lost my voicemail and my data didnt work for S**T!
I also agree with everyone here, no one will give you the imei off their device.

Not true. I had the unlimited 3G iphone plan and got my atrix with my 2 year upgrade. As long as you don't change any features of the plan, you are grandfathered into said plan, and mine runs at ATT's 4G speeds.

From when I had to deal with this for my father, the current unlimited (3G) does let you grandfather currently at their "Current" 4G speed.. the HSPDA+ ... however, when they launch their "True" 4G network, all current Unlimited plans will not carry over and you can only have the unlimited data with the H+.. if you want to switch to the true 4G, they are going to make you drop the unlimited that you currently have and go with the 2gb or 4gb which ever it will be.. duno if the are going to have unlimited or not.. they didnt really say.. but that is what the ATT person had explained to me when tried to get my fathers unlimited grandfather back on..

this is what kinda what they told me but did not include the info about running 4g speeds now until they get the true 4g. however i was told if i wanted those speeds. i would have to drop unlimited. also i was informed they have no intention of having a 4g unlimited plan even if you are already grandfathered in. they have dropped unlimited data period!
and to respond to post above yours..... my xperia x10 has faster uploads and downloads then this atrix does. responds better, has brighter display. my xperia is running a custom 2.2.1 running at 998mhz high and low. while my atrix is overclocked to 1.3ghz. so i dont believe the hype that this phone is that great. almost thinking i should have stayed with the inspire and only for the larger screen size. it lacked compared to my xperia as well.
Well, lets look at what's wrong here, and whats
"Right"....
1: you have a SGS II.(RIGHT)
2: Its a "4G phone ("RIGHT")
3: Its for tmobile (right)
4:you will never get 4g speeds from at&t with a tmobile phone (RIGHT!!!!)
5: NO ONE WILL GIVE YOU THEIR IMEI NUMBER(right, I hope)
If you have two devices on the same network, both identifying them selves as the same device, one will be shut off. I had a similar issue with 2phones previously.I had a simcard in phone one. With out powering off the device, I put it into the second phone and powered it on. People were sending me texts and calling me all day. Some text Wendy to phone one and some to phone two. My phone calls would only last for 3 seconds MAX.
Now, with that being said, if you want 4g speeds on your sgs 2, go get a fancy mobile hotspot, and Cary that with you too. Until then,
GO AWAY TROLL.
I don't even have the atrix yet and want to donkey punch you through your computer/phone screen...... troll

Verizon is VERY clear and up front on how they deal with high data usage. They will reduce your data speed but only in areas of congestion and only while the congestion is occurring.

Just out of curiousity- I notice you've got a refurbished RAZR, any chance the tech that refurb'ed didn't catch everything? After switching from T-Horrible over the weekend to Verizon, I'm amazed at how much faster my RAZR Maxx is vs. my old 3G Nexus One.
*shrug*
They will not take this one back. Thats why I am mad. The guy was like if this is not fixed by 4/11/2012 to call back and I was like say what now. You should look at my throttled video.
Yes there is a chance tech did not catch this, becuase for a day it was fine. It does not matter if this one and the last one did the same thing, becuase they will not take the beeping phone back.
Just picked up a note on ebay, excited to get it. However since I live in what is only the 5th largest city in the US, ATT obviously sees no reason to have LTE here. Anyone have any ideas of how I would check if LTE is working? If I have ATT insurance will it cover this phone?
In unrelated note are ICS roms pretty stable? I'd prefer to jump to that but am not an early rom adopter.
If its an ATT phone you bought off Ebay then it should just work, the only way you can see if its even an option is to go into your mobile networks settings and switch it to GSM/HSPA/LTE mode, (probably better for you to switch it to GSM/HSPA until you do have an LTE area.
If you bought the International phone, I don't think LTE is even an option (from what i've read).
As for warranty related questions I couldn't help ya with that.
If it's an AT&T phone it says (edit)4GLTE on GB on the status bar when you are connected to an LTE network.
For warranty information I would contact AT&T. I'm about to drop my warranty through AT&T and go somewhere else because $10 a month and then a $200 deductible for the phone is crappy (I didn't realize this until after I got the insurance when purchasing the phone because I was too excited just to get the phone). Some other places (still reading reviews) offer you to pay a one time fee for however many years and then the dedictible, which is not $200.

just a side note, which city are you in?
which version of note are you using? 7000? or 717?
the international note (SGH-7000) is not LTE compatible......
you may want to ask ATT about the insurance.....if u have a ATT note.....i am pretty sure they will cover it....(probably will be have deductible fee)....if its an International note...you are out of luck....
for LTE...you will need an LTE enabled plan......just call ATT to enable it......i think there is no additional charge....(i could be wrong)

43Mbps down, 13Mbps up
From what I know you need a 4G/LTE plan and Sim the old blazing 3g sum won't pick up LTE

LTE speeds vary widely for me. In Alexandria, VA, where I would think were a large number of LTE users I was getting the speeds in the first pic. In Oklahoma City, where I was surprised to see LTE at all, I was getting the slower speeds in the second pic.

I believe he's referring to the grand City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia.
There is no way to test LTE without being in an LTE area, but there a few locations a couple hours North and South on 95 if you really want to know if it's working.
With the AT&T Note, you have to have the newest generation SIM card otherwise you won't get HSPA data either.

errr......4G is just HSPA+......its not LTE....=....you will need a LTE enabled plan.....
don't exactly remember what the icon for ATT is.....but it would say LTE on the icon (either 4GLTE or just LTE)...if you don;t see that....you are not on LTE

Ha, I forgot the LTE under the icon. Fixed. Thanks.

So is the hspa+ sim, same as LTE? Do I have to call att to activate LTE, I should get a chance to head to an LTE area pretty soon.

Your SIM card needs to have LTE provisioning enabled on it for it to authenticate with the LTE network properly (allowing you to use it). Might be easier to go to a local AT&T store and have them give you a new SIM and make sure they enable LTE on your data plan for that particular SIM.

You're exactly correct. Must have the LTE enabled plan for LTE to work

Hey people I understand sprints network is unlimited etc.... but me and the other person on my line are rooted and we tether he used probably near 15-20gb i used probably about 5 and ever since the 30th of december my 4g connection has been unreliable to the point where i have to turn on 3g to use the internet or it will just hang at loading the website or the app i even did a speedtest with other people that have sprint in my area they easily get over 10mbps while i cant even get 1mbps unless i throw 3g on..... my question is can i do anything about this? we both have sprint note 3s stock rooted i checked the towers in my area all are good! I called sprint they made me do a network reset etc update profile and prl nothing changed! please help
Could be defective but I don't think you're being throttled. Try taking the battery out for a few minutes.

My wife and I are with Sprint as well and we both strongly believe that Sprint throttles 4g LTE at 5 gb download. Every month when I hit 5 gb I can't connect to 4g until the next billing cycle. We are going to see how Spark is this year and if it's as piss poor as the current 4g we are jumping over to AT&T.

Sprint has to be throttling I know my device is not defective it just so happens it's happening to both lines on my account we both used a decent amount of data I wonder if there is some sort of work around

Call and if they can't fix it on the spot demand credits to your account!

Agreed. If you aren't in a roaming area, they shouldn't be throttling you. Make sure that you update your PRL and profile, reboot, then call them. There are a lot of factors, including times of day, towers from which you're pulling, &c. They know this info, so I suggest that have your facts before calling.

No throttling. 5gb isn't anything. I've used close to 100gb with no problems. For years I've easily gone over that 5gb mark. Someone here in another thread used almost 200gb. Just sounds like tower overload. New customers around Christmas time makes sense. Sprint should be able to see that.
Edit: For anyone that wants to see the unthrottled usage lol http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2592679&page=4
I'm having a similar issue. Will have to keep a close eye on it. I thought it was just my phone or the towers acting funny

Ya if data is not fast enough to stream some video in an area with lte coverage I would call and see whats up. Or go take your phone to another of the same model and compare signal strength. You can go into testing settings and make sure both are on same tower and see actual signal dBm.

Yes that is sprint lte at its best I love this phone/service. I cant see me needing spark untill phones have 4k displays and 4k video out. Maybe for really congested/populated cities its needed. wimax never made it here and lte is pretty new for us too, spark is probably years away for me anyways.
