Can anyone verify the difference in frequencies that each phone is capable of? I am here in the USA on AT&T and last year bought a GT-I9305 and found out I could not get high speed 3G coverage. So I bought a GT-I9300 and everything works fine. Out of all the frequencies I needed 1900mhz for HSPA 3G. I am suspecting these models to be similar.
If you dial this code number *#197328640# into your phone dial pad you can get to a hidden service menu. (note: use the lower left button to go back each time you select something, otherwise you have to dial the whole number again.)
On my International SGS3 (GT-i9300) I can go in here and select different data frequencies (I leave mine on Auto) by going to Debug Screen-> Phone Control-> Network Control-> Band Selection-> then when you select one of the options, there with be a * next to each frequency that the phone is capable of. Just looking to see which version has what frequencies. Thanks!
** Thanks, this is a code to get into the menu that tells you what you are on, then you can use the lower left button and select back to get back to Phone Control-> Network Control-> Band Selection->:

You might want to fix your title/subject.
LOL, thanks, I think when I posted it I did it from my phone and it auto-filled the word. Thanks!
I am thinking the Gt-i9500 will be the one I'll want for USA and AT&T. I just wanted to confirm ahead of time this. I learned the hard way on the 9300 vs 9305.
Tried the code twice on my i9500... no dice.
I am curious as well, moving to ATT, and while they say the 32GB GS4 is coming soon, I don't know what soon is.
If you look at both phones, they both support the same freqs. I'm on H+ with my i9500, same sort of speed and signal as I got with my international Xperia Z, SGS3, SGS2.. etc.

Hi guys, I'm running a GT-i9500 on Bell mobility in Canada which uses same bands as AT&T. It is set to WCDMA 1900 Band 2, but the phone reverts to 3G at rest and goes up to H+ as soon as anything that requires data is launched. Is this normal behavior? I get great HSPA+ speeds too!

Why not just check on GSMArena?
because I have in the past found conflicting information on different phone models, and its usually better and more reliable to get information from people who actually own the phone and use it every day..

Did you check to make sure what GSM frequencies the carrier uses (sorry not familiar with El Salvador)? This sounds very similar to people trying to use G2's on AT&T / iPhones on T-mobile. Not all GSM carriers use the same frequencies for their service. If voice is working, but 3G data is not, this is very likely the issue. For example, AT&T operates both 2g and 3g on 850/1900, whereas T-mobile operates 2g on 850/1900 and 3G on 1700/2100; hence why voice and Edge can work, but 3G cannot.
Poking around a little, the X10 mini world phone version has an 850/900/1800/1900 for edge and 1900/2100 frequency radio for 3G data connection, although there are AT&T versions with slightly different bands too, which you may have I'm not sure.
The G2 runs on T-mobile in the US and has a 850/900/1800/1900 for edge and 1700/2100 radio for 3G data.
All according to Wikipedia from what I can scrounge up right now.
BTW I feel proud that I did this research lol. Enlightening.

If Tigo doesn't run 1700/2100 3g, there isn't anything you can do short of selling your G2 and buying a European Desire Z (same as G2) with the proper frequencies assuming you want the same type of phone. Shoulda checked this out lol just cuz it has a SIM slot doesn't mean it "just works" haha. sorry!

Well the USA, Canada, and Euro ones all have different bands, depending on the carriers they are generally made for. The issue with the Euro ones can be that they don't come with English out of the box either

Just how hard is it to have a G2 world phone? Can you add all possible bands?
I believe that the Canadian/European Desire Z is the world phone edition which carries band support for all GSM bands. It is the USA T-Mobile G2 that carries support for the GSM bands specifically for the US market. Correct me if I am wrong.

Its been established (more or less) that the phone claims to support 1700/2100 AWS 3G in the service menu. The problem is getting the phone to actually connect to the network and not bork itself in the process.
Out of the box the phone does not work with T-mobile's 3G/HSPA+ network. It may be possible with a modified 'modem' but so far nobody has modified a Note specific modem to attempt to get it to work.
We also need to know what radio chipset the phone is using. It could be the SKY7706 or the SKY7704. The 7704 supports Tmo. The 7706 doesn't. We need a teardown or analysis of the modem (if possiblee) to determine what its using.

If somebody can upload a Japanese radio (or has already done it and can send the link), I'll try... I have to say, though, I tried to mess with QPST, and enable all radio frequencies, and it didn't really make a difference for me (still on Edge...).
Btw: the fact that AWS shows up doesn't mean it will work ... "normal" users are not supposed to mess with those settings anyway, so they may have left all settings enabled, even the ones that don't make sense.

Definitely true, and I'm not really expecting it to work. It'd be pretty awesome if we discovered that the radio did support AWS and just needed to be enabled, though.

Unfortunately, for 4G, iWireless uses the AWS Spectrum (1700/2100) which the Galaxy S4 doesn't support. Even the T-Mobile version doesn't due to the switch to the 1900 frequency.
Next time if you want 4G on your phone, look at the Tech Specs and make sure under UMTS it says 1700/2100. If you want 4G, your phone HAS to support that frequency.

What speculation? It is missing the required bands to work on AT&T.
The hardware has support for it - so its a software restriction. But you're right it has been confirmed that the N9005 stock doesn't work on AT&T / Verizon.
Note II received AWS bands by a modified QCP file. Some people say its just a modem flash.
Yeah I'm wondering the same thing my unlocked n9005 works on Rogers lte but I was hoping there was a modem I could flash since coverage isn't great and I heard it's because of software reasons

Ah okay, gotchaa.
Finally got some LTE action in TX
Hello, I have an sm-n9005 on AT&T (go phone). Been living with HSPA since getting this phone in early April. I'm on vacation in Texas visiting relatives and on the way from Dallas to Houston I actually got 4G in two locations briefly while driving. Oddly, both of these locations were not in Houston or Dallas where one would expect them to be, rather in smaller towns. I don't care what anyone here says about modems, firmwares, etc. They HAVE the capability to serve LTE to these phones but won't. The bottom line is deregulation is killing the consumer while these clowns pretend each one has "the best" or "the most reliable" LTE service.
