Picked up the Verizon S4 and I'm looking for a case. Is the S4 the same size for all carriers? Or do I have to buy a case for verizon model only? Just not sure if all S4 cases are compatible with all carriers, specifically verizon.
Any Samsung Galaxy s4 case will work for any carrier.
Excellent. Thank you.

Hello, I am new to the xda forums and I thought I'd ask you knowledgeable folk about my dilemma. I currently live in Canada and am going to purchase an unlocked Galaxy Note 3 from Negri Electronics. I was about to buy the N9005, I presume that works on Bell's LTE service correct? Because I saw also on the site a Samsung N900W8 Galaxy Note 3 LTE 32GB (Bell) (Unlocked).. which confused me. Will the n9005 work on my LTE network or do I have to buy the second one? Thank you.
you need LTE on 1700MHz/AWS for Bell... N9005 does not this.
N900W8 is better if you want LTE
Which version is the international version of the Galaxy S5, which will probably have better support and faster release of custom ROMS ?
Thanks,
SM-G900F and SM-G900H

You can also wait for the S5 Google Play Edition which is carrier unlocked and unbranded. The Galaxy S4 Google edition works on AT&T, T-Mobile, and around the world. There’s no contract required, and you can use it on a variety of carriers in the US, and abroad. So, basically, the S5 will work the same.

LTE doesn't work around the world. Only on TMO and ATT US.
Is it possible to flash the sprint variant of the galaxy s5 to metro and if so where or how? I've read up about att and Verizon versions but all I've heard about the sprint one is that it communicates through a different frequency but Idk
Bump
Since this phone uses CDMA, I would assume that you can, but I haven't used MetroPCS service in about 5 years.
Please note that you will experience reduced functionality (no LTE/download booster/WiFi calling) while flashed to a different carrier. You would probably be better off grabbing an international version.
Hello community, i am new here , i own a GT-i9505 galaxy s4 that i bought almost 1 year ago.
I was reading guides and tuts on how to flash my own custom rom and it seems pretty easy.
After a re-search i finally thought of flashing a clean CM.
But here's the main question.
Which one is the right one, and what are the differences between them?
Galaxy S4 (jflte)
Galaxy S4 (AT&T) (jflteatt)
Galaxy S4 (C Spire) (jfltecsp)
Galaxy S4 (Canada) (jfltecan)
Galaxy S4 (Cricket) (jfltecri)
Galaxy S4 (GSM Non-LTE) (ja3g)
Galaxy S4 (Intl) (jfltexx)
Galaxy S4 (non-LTE) (i9500)
Galaxy S4 (Sprint) (jfltespr)
Galaxy S4 (T-Mobile) (jfltetmo)
Galaxy S4 (US Cellular) (jflteusc)
Galaxy S4 (Verizon) (jfltevzw)
Galaxy S4 Active (Intl) (jactivelte)
Galaxy S4 LTE-A (ks01lte)
I'am from Greece and i am using Vodafone.
Any answer would be more than appreciated.
The main reason i am changing OS is battery life, i don't want any custom or awesome features.
GT-I9505 = jfltexx. This is the one you want.
GT-I9500 = ja3g. You have this one listed twice. This is the device using the Exynos processor and lacking LTE.
GT-I9506 = ks01lte. This is the "Black Edition" Galaxy S4. It has a faster processor than the I9505 but its other hardware is identical.
GT-I9295 = jactivelte. This has its own forum on XDA.
The other devices listed are North American devices. This means they use North American LTE frequencies, which will not be of use to you in Greece. The AT&T and Verizon models lock their bootloaders to prevent root. The Cricket, Verizon, and Sprint models use CDMA rather than GSM, so they wouldn't work at all in Greece. The Canada version is identical to the AT&T version, but without the locked bootloader. The T-Mobile version never received an upgrade to Android 5.0.1. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint Galaxy S4 devices all have their own forums on XDA.
There are many more models of S4 than in your list. At last count, there were some 50 different Galaxy S4 variants out there, but you don't need to worry about that. You now know which one you should use.

Im on the AT&T network and I'm looking to buy an S8. The samsung website has two choices that would work: the Sim-free Galaxy S8 (SM-G950UZKAXAA) and the AT&T Galaxy S8 (SM-G950UZKAATT). The sim-free model appeals to me because I wouldn't have carrier bloat and I could take the phone to another carrier if I wanted to. However, I've seen some comments that the sim free model gets updates well after the carrier models do and that the sim-free model has weaker reception and you lose out on certain features (volte, wifi-calling, etc.). Could anyone comment on these differences? Thanks

The unlocked one allows you to switch carriers whenever and will get updates faster, the ATT one is a locked one and gets slower updates. ALWAYS buy the Unlocked one, and if you want the ATT one, you can just change the firmware to be that variants.
