[Q] i9500 octacore Exynos 5 on AWS?

Hello!
I'm just wondering If anyone has tried the octacore version of the S4 on Mobilicity or Wind mobile (aws 1700/2100 bands)? I'm currently in Asia, Anne think it'd be super cool to pick up one of the international octacore versions here, but since my preferred carrier back home (in Canada) is Mobilicity, I just wanna make sure it'll work first. I've tried googling to see if anyone has tried it before, but I wasn't able to find anything.
If anyone has tried it, or knows if it'll work, I'd really appreciate your help!
Thanks so much =)

i popped in my inactive wind sim and it shows wind home when i search for mobile networks but i am not sure as it was inactive

According to the specs posted at gsmarena (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9500_galaxy_s4-5125.php), the i9500 doesn't support AWS. You would be stuck with 2G EDGE data

Thank you for your help. Did the roaming icon show up at all? I saw on the wiki that it's not supposed to work.

Can AWS be enabled on s4 i9500 - please help guys.
Hi,
I have a wind sim (Canada), it doesn't work on my S4 i9500 which i bought from UAE. Is there a way AWS frequencies can be enabled on this phone? I am desperately looking for a work around. To me, XDA is my only hope left.
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks.

Note 3 that can work with wind Canada

Hi,
I live in Canada and I use wind mobile.
Which Note 3 model versions will work with my carrier without troubles ? A list will help to buy online...
HSDPA is important, I don't care LTE since wind canada I think they don't have it yet...
Thanks

SM-N900W8

Just an FYI, it is also the same Note 3 model used across all the other Canadian carriers who offer it.

What about N900T? It should be pentaband, would it work?
Can a normal or LTE model be transformed in wind working flashing a new radio ?
Thanks

[Q] Galaxy S5 G900f LTE support

Hi, I am using Samsung Galaxy S5 G900f. I was wondering if my phone supports LTE/4G ? My network opperator still doesn't have 4G network, that is confirmed info, BUT does my phone support it? For example if I went somewhere where there is 4G support and insert that SIM card (I unlocked my phone with codes). I did get the S5 through my carrier so is it also possible that since my carrier does not support 4G they could have ordered S5 without LTE/4G since it wouldn't have point to have it if the network doesn't support it? Is there a way I could check if the device itself has support for LTE? I network modes I do not have LTE.
My network operator: mt:s Serbia
Country: Serbia
This is my first post to XDA EVER and virst post on any forum in a few years probably so excuse me if I made some mistakes and sorry, also sorry for my bad english.
Help?

The G900F version is the internatioal LTE variant, so yes, it supports 4G/LTE. Inserting a SIM with a 4G plan will work.
If you can't see/select LTE mode it may be because you got a specific carrier rom. Changing your rom to an open country on should enable it once more.

Thank you! That's a relief. Won't change rom yet because of warranty and no LTE here either way but good to know.
Thank you again.

Yes, it supports LTE.
You're not seeing the LTE option under network modes because the option is disabled for your Carrier, thus it will not show up when you have your SIM inserted.
If your carrier does not have LTE yet, then it is turned off in the firmware by Samsung for your carrier SIM. If you were to insert a SIM from a carrier that has LTE, you may be able to use it. (Depending on how long they've had LTE and if it was enabled. Each carrier has to be enabled in a list.)
Enabling it is done via firmware update.

n910k 2g only on o2, no LTE

Hi all
I managed to get ahold of an n910k note 4 but for some reason it doesn't seem to get LTE on the o2 network.
I am guessing it has something to do with band settings or maybe the modem, is there any way to change which frequency is being used so I can pickup LTE ?
thank you all

O2 onlu use 4G in 800MHz and the Korean version doesn't have this band...
You should have checked this before buying the phone.

Damn, there is no way to add it? Maybe someone could send me a different modem?

[Q] Does the international version Note 4 (N910f) support LTE in the US?

Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of getting the international version of the Note 4 (N910f), I'm currently in Mexico studying but I'm planning to go back to the US when I finish. I would like to know if someone that has the international version of the Note 4 has LTE working in the US or if there is a workaround on how to make it work.
Thanks in advance!

It works as long as your service provider has LTE on the bands listed for the phone

It doesn't work for me. I use T-Mobile, which has LTE, and I cannot get it. I get HDSP+ (or whatever it's called). I called T-Mobile about it and they told me that since the phone is not branded T-Mobile they won't give me LTE access. Pain pain

International SM-910C has LTE (I'm on an ATT mvno, Consumer Cellular). Exynos processor. Available through eBay...
