take screen shot of the APN setting post in here. Also change the data to Edge it will help.
Most of the time if I can't send pic I change to E and it sent.
On the Note if you dont have the option to set to 2G speed, only way to do is dial *#2263# and set to GSM

My APN is the same as what T-Mobile says on their FAQ page, tried the switch to 2G and it still didnt work....
I received my i717 from CanadaGSM late yesterday afternoon. I am seeing mostly 3 out of 5 bars with occasionally 4 on T-Mobile at my home in Dallas, TX. In the several tests I ran with Speedtest, I've see 1500 kps down / 90 up with 3 bars and 2500 kps down / 250 up with 4 bars. I have also seen as high as 5000 kps down /600 kps up, but that has been rare. I've had no dropped calls (one call today was about an hour) and I was able to get on with my phone right away. I've tweaked no settings at this time. I haven't checked battery life as of yet but I can say it is much better than my Nokia N900.
I did find that their GMail e-mail address has been entered everywhere to download BusyBox from the Market, so I've needed to change all of that. I wished they would have noted that in a short set of instructions included in the package. All the included accessories were included and the plastic protector packaging on the phone was all in place.
So far, I'm quite happy with the phone. Paying a premium for a phone with the modem flashing already done was a huge time saver for me.

For me the phone was cheaper than any local dealer and saved me the effort to root and flash.
Rogers would have been $700 + taxes, 1 month service and a $35 activation fee + however much $ to unlock.
Im a happy camper.

I bought my rogers from bestbuy @ 649 with month to month contract, called in the next day, canceled the contract, paid my month, and voila.
Its advertised on Toronto Kijiji for $585.

best t-mobile tmo tmobile 3g 4g data
Ive tried all the ICS roms (except the new Alpha III) using each modem(blaze,kid,telus(telus usually best) and none of them are good enough to be a daily driver cuz data is so inconsitent nothing loads properly for longer that 3 minutes and if your moving like on a train forget about it. (Im only commenting on tmobile data ability, not the ROMs)
Hands down the best and most useable setup for T-mobile users:
ROM : SAUROM_XLA2_RC4A
kernel : holoNoteKernel-0.1-2-k (DON'T flash the kernel fix it will fawk your sheet up cuz its for RC5 and up)
modem : Blaze_4G_LB7_radio_ATTNOTE
extra---
TWlauncher default launcher
setcpu: 192min 1836max lagfree
V6 supercharged. megaram1 768+ HP
KAK kickasskernel (k)
not turbocharged (not scared to use now that i have 4g useable)
rom toolbox: SD boost 2048kb
used part of build.prop tweaks from the (Tweaks) build.prop Post in Dev section. only the ones for sleep, and screen touch improve, jpg and no boot animation. nothing that effected oom

Like i've mentioned before, this phone is awesome. All we need is more stable 4G data for ICS for us T-mobile, Mobilicity, and Wind etc...users. I think we should set up a bounty. What do you guys think? Does anyone know any good modem devs? Perhaps we could ask them for help.
@OP can we start the bounty in this thread or should we create a new thread?

Mythus, why don't you create a bounty thread in General forum, i don't think it belongs in development forum.
Results of ppl experimentation led me to assume that it might be hardware, in particular, antenna filters or something else that is frequency dependent preventing getting strong signal.
It seems to be proven that signal level on the Note is always lower than on SGS2, for example. This automatically results in lower data rates.
Phones carry the same baseband processing chips but Note might be missing something in the RF hardware making desired performance out of reach.

It was $585 when I posted it this morning. LOL
They must have raised it to distinguish themselves from canadagsm

11To All, This is a new thread dedicated to trying to resolve the known problems with the current Hacked Radio/modems we all have experienced.
Please do not post already known issues over and over I will delete them. The Effort is to keep this thread clean and up to date with newly discovered fixes an/or new bugs.
Both Allgamer and I have a Note so any developer that needs something tested pm us and we will assist you as best we can
The issues we all seem to have experienced Are:
1. Dropped calls, this is a big issue... need to phone to never fail us..... especially for those who are business dependent.
2. Low up load speeds
3. Inconsistent data speed issues
4. Data dropping
5. Battery Drain/heat issues
If there are other specific issues that arise please post and I will itemize in the OP. Let's see if we can draft the assistance of a developer (s) who are excellent with radio/modem hacking. We are close to a final fix let's try to get across the finish line to 100% success.
Thanks to All who have to date helped in the quest of finding a perfect fix.
SPECIAL THANKS to All who paid the bounty..... kept your word....... and helped in any other way...... It REALLY warms the soul to know our community can come together and follow through on commitments......... Thank you all.... Oka1
Allgamer posted this for a fix for some : In case anyone still have the drop call issues, here's a good work around http://xdaforums.com/show...77&postcount=22
That's right. ... the T989 Hercules was like a super global phone that worked with AT&T and T-Mobile in the US.

I updated the link in my original post so you should be able to see the zip file now. You might need to download it from a PC if you continue to have problems.
