Hey there,
I am in the US and plan on buying the AT&T Nexus 7 with 3G.
Since i will move back to germany in a few weeks i would like to know if it is possible to use it in Germany (since, you know, the US has some odd Networks)
Thanks for any information
Its unlocked so yes. At least with Deutsche Telekom or vodaphone

thanks for your reply. i wasn't concerned about it being locked but rather incompatible Network modems.
If it works on Telekom or Vodafone it works on every Provider.
Can someone else confirm that the Radios are compatible with European/German Networks?
The N7 supports T-Mobile frequencies and my T-Mobile G1 worked perfect while I was in Grafenwohr, Vilseck and in the bars/clubs in Nurenburg so there's no reason it won't

Thank you, too! I am gonna buy a 3G Nexus7 soon Let's hope someone gets voice calls working
If you have Google voice you can download grooveIP and use that to make calls with since its a VOIP app. Would work great since unless Telekom's plans changed since I was stationed there they kinda suck lol

I'm interested in buy this mobile phone in the USA, but I'm from Spain, and I need to use with Vodafone ES, It's possible to unlock and work's in Spain?
Because I read that use CDMA.
Very confused. The phone will work but isn't your phone the European version? Two different software's. Wish I had more info for you. I'm sure others will chime in.

Check the CDMA frequencies on your Spain Carrier and you'll need an Android Phone from Spain to port it if you want data. Otherwise, if they offer flashing, you could be stuck with only calls and texting working without data.

Hey guys!
Any of you know where to get the LTE version in the UK?
I remember seing some ads around London the other day about it, but don't remember seing a actual retailer.
Thanks!
T mobile and Orange.

Yup, seems like it is only available on contract with the two Everything Everywhere partners, for now.
It's available unlocked at Mobicity: http://www.mobi-city.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s3-i9305-16gb-uk.html
I did the free unlock method and pop in a prepaid t- mobile micro Sim card and wile it don't prompt for an unlock code it surely don't/won't connect to internet or even show E ,4G,4G LTE at all.I have to switch to stock rooted MDL just to use the service mode *#0011# and have tried just about everything with the exception of using fastgsm.com on the account of not owning a computer. I even tried sha256 back on and inserted the T-Mobile card and enter *#0011# to repeat the process. Still no unlock code prompt either way and no real service either way.anybody can reply/pm me

Do you have calling Ability? If so, your APN probably need to be set correctly.

So smart we all r around here.we sometimes over look the little things like going outside and wow the phone connects to T-Mobile with only Edge-2.so after calling T-Mobile I now know that that is in fact the best T-Mobile has to offer for my house.the free unlock method did work for me.

Tmobile has poor coverage. Good prices, but poor coverage.
That's not the reason. OP is using an AT&T S4. Any time you use an AT&T phone on T-Mobile, all you get is 2G.

True, I'd be with them if the coverage was better.
Hmm Try to disable mobile data and reenable it . make sure your APN settings are correct. If not then you may need efs repair...
You can also try the option NV Rebuild

What?
Like I said before, any time you bring an AT&T phone to T-Mobile, all you get is 2g data. Anything you try to get better will not work. If you want better either buy a T-Mobile device or get an international version of the device. Best option in this case is to sell the AT&T phone and use that money towards a new device.

I had issues with Tmobile at my house, just sitting outside on the deck... 1 bar of EDGE. Phone calls would work 25% of the time. Data would work, but rarely.
[soapbox]
As a side note... I HATE the current state of the cell phone industry in the USA. All phones should be unlocked, penta band, and sold directly from the manufacturer. Issues like this would never come up and the prices would stay down to be competitive.

While that is very true, providers/manufacturers don't want competition. They want to own everything.

Not hardly. With AWS you can unlock all the bands so att phones can get T-Mobiles lte and att lte. Noone listens because its not true. A ton of people have reported about this. Read up on it first.

From what I can tell, it looks like the process didn't flash correctly. Restore your backup (assuming you made one) and try again. It could have been a bad download. Try re-downloading the needed files. If that still fails, try another USB port and wire if necessary. If all else fails, t-mobile sucks horribly in your area.

Hello Community,
I recently purchased an unlocked t-mobile G2 for use on the Bell and Wind network.
Im thinking of rooting my device to enable the ability to uninstall all the t-mobile bloatware as well as the carrier IQ software.
I have two questions:
1. Being a tmobile phone on a Canadian network - should tmobile push an update, will I receive that or will I have to wait for my provider to push it?
2. I assume rooting the device will disable any hope of receiving and update regardless of US or Canadian carrier?
Thank you in advance for any comments.
Um tmobile won't work on the bell version, you can make calls but not 3g. ...it Will work on wind tough. ..
1. I don't know
2 . yes

Thank you for the response, However I must disagree with your initial statement. I currently have the tmobile G2 on Bell and I am getting 4G/LTE service.
Hmm I wonder if it works the other way around then. ..I didn't think Pentaband was unlocked on this phone I'll try with one of my friends wind cards on my Rogers g2

I think mobile locks that feature on stock rims

I am a UK resident and I wish to purchase a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. It's quite expensive in the UK although I was wondering if I bought it from the US, due to the currency conversion rate, it'll come out cheaper (I've previously bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) from the US and the overall cost still came out cheaper if had I bought it from here)
My main concern is that will the phone still work here in the UK I.e will I still be able to get calls and will my existing sim card still work (I have no problem with getting it unlocked) ?! I was asking because of the different carriers and antennas and what not. I am not a person uses LTE as my current tariff doesn't support it so I have no problem with that being like the deciding factor. I'm currently on the 3 carrier in the UK. Thank You

Don't H3G use different frequencies? I know H3G phones were a pain in the butt a while ago due to their oddball requirements, but I would imagine flashing the H3G btu firmware would resolve any "issues" as it would include their modem.
Am I barking up the wrong tree here?
As long as you don't buy it locked to verizon, sprint or at&t then it will work fine, because those networks are cdma I believe. And as the UK doesn't have any cdma networks, only gsm, the device won't work.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Att is not cdma.
Yes, the ATT note will work on 3G and 3G+ networks for your carrier in the UK. 3 has no GSM (2G) and only uses the 3G 2100 band. The ATT note 3 has the following 3G bands: 850/1900/2100MHz

There are threads on here about region lock. You have to insert the 'territory' correct sim card for 3-5 mins and then lock will be removed. ou can get it removed by ringing Samsung or you can root and remove it that way.
PS... It would appear that you didn't get a clear answer on Android Central Either!

To the op, if you are not fussed about the LTE, then Note 3 from ATT or T-mobile will work on 3G in the UK. As mentioned previously, do not buy from Verizon, Virgin, etc as they are CDMA phones and will not work in UK.
Another option is to buy from amazon USA if you are currently in the US. Get the International version.

You must be in USA because you need to use an American Sim card first so that the region lock will be removed but I could be wrong. Whereanouts are you in UK? For maybe 50 quid worth, I would just buy feom UK. Its not worth the gamble and hassle for me
Put serious value on the warranty on a Note3 .. its not quite such a bullet proof phone as a note 2.
Also I got one here in UK at a great price just a week after launch by getting it on Voda contract then unlocking it for EE use. There must be some cheap deals in UK now surely.

I'll give it some good thought although I can't seem to find any good deals and I'm not exactly the wealthiest person so I'I'll take any cheap option can get, I'm already on a SIM only contact so I just want to purchase the phone by itself
