In light of the new "Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act", why is it so hard to bring a Sprint Galaxy Note 3 to Boost Mobile? My Touch Pro2 came from Sprint, and I didn't have all of these problems. With the Galaxy Note 3 there is all of this talk of flashing, getting SMS/MMS to work, and 3G to work. When you finish, will it have Boost Mobile LTE as on Sprint? When you do get it set up, and you reset the phone to factory because of a bad app install, now what? What I don't understand is why using a Note 3 with Boost Mobile should be any harder than using one of the S3s that Boost sells.

I bought the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 and unlocked it. I am using it on AT&T and it works for calls but I can get mobile data to work.

I currently have a iPhone 5s with a defective home button. I was going to return my phone today and purchase a Note 3, I found myself holding off because of the impending Nexus 5 announcement. I am a huge fan of the Nexus series, with their stock android experience, fast software updates and premium design, they always seem like my go to android phone. The downfall to the Nexus is that I would have to give up Verizon and there awesome LTE coverage (the only carrier with full LTE coverage in my area) for AT&T which is terrible for dropping calls and have next to no LTE in the area. Even worse would be T-Mobile which has NO SERVICE at all in some parts of Long Island. Also in past experiences I find myself hating touch-wiz within a few days of owning a Samsung device. But the Note 3 is the must cutting edge phone on the market and that 1080p screen looks amazing.
I find myself torn between the stock android, awesome design and rom friendly Nexus 5 with poor cell coverage on AT&T or the cutting edge, 5.7 1080p monster Note 3 with crappy gingerbread looking touch-wiz and knox security that makes even roming the phone a potential issue, but with the ability to have full LTE coverage on Verizon.
Any opinions from owners of the Note 3?
Wait for the note 3 developer edition, flash whatever you like. Crappy service is not tolerable to me.

I too am waiting for the Developer Edition of the Note 3. I will jump on that. I am really not interested in messing with the bootloader if I don't have too.

What's the point of the developer addition if you're not gonna mess with the boot loader.

I have the note 2 on boost mobile with donor phone . As the new phone come out it seems different to flash to boost. What im asking is can the old way of flashing be done to note 3? If I buy the note 3 without contract can I ask them for msl code for the phone?

In theory, wouldn't it be possible to use an Unlocked Sprint S3 on Verizon? They both use CDMA networks. I was just wondering if I could do that and stay with Verizon, but also get a Bootloader unlock.

They both do use cdma but I think they use dofferen bands so it would not be possible and even if it was you would be stick on 3g or with no data at all

You can flash a Verizon Note 3 to Sprint and you can flash a Sprint Note 3 to Verizon. It has nothing to do with carrier locked/unlocked phones in CDMA. Flashing is done through CDMA flashing tools such as DFS. Either direction you go, you will only get voice, SMS, MMS, and 3G data speeds. No LTE. It is best that you just trade your Sprint Note 3 for a Verizon Note 3 if you've never done a CDMA phone flash before and/or if you want to use LTE.
Hello all,
I have a note 4 and my wife has a note 2 both on sprint. Her phone has much better and much more consistent 4G than my my note 4. The problem is that her note 2 use to be mine, and when I upgraded to the note 4 I gave her my note 2. When I had the note 2, I had the same inconsistent service as I do currently with my note 4. On her previous phone (S4) she had the same superior service on her device compared to mine.
The weird thing is that it seems to be her phone number that has the higher connectivity. This was idea was quasi confirmed by a sprint technician a year ago. I haven't received any beneficial help from sprint customer support; does anybody here know how I can get my phone to have the same connectivity calibration as my wife's?
