US Note 3 in India - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Will a US version of the Note 3 with the quad core snapdragon work in India?
I was just thinking if i should just wait till Thanksgiving and if lucky get it for some offer from the US.

Hi
I am talking about an unlocked one ofcourse...
And had also done research on the region locking thingy... What i understood was that it just needs to be activated in the region it is meant for and then it should work anywhere?
So... Help guys...

As far as I know this region lock thing isn't so clear yet. Some people said it has worked without a problem. I am holding out on buying one myself till I know it will work everywhere.

Unlocking sgs

Hi guys I have one question that maybe was already asked here,so I am sorry if I am asking stupid questions.. Anyway, I want to give my galaxy s to my brother but we are not using the same network, and my phone is locked to my network. So how safe is phone unlocking ? what is the procedure for unlocking the phone and is it shortening phones' life? Also,my brother will be using it in another country...Thanks in advance!

I've never had a problem unlocking a phone.
Just buy an unlock code online. Check eBay first.
After you have the unlock code, give the phone to your brother and when. He inserts his SIM card, he will be asked for an unlock code. Once he enters it, he can use the phone...

Interesting, I thought it was much more complicated than that.. I am in Serbia now using Vip mobile, my brother will use it on Vodaphone Malta, you think that there would be no problems if I buy code from uk ebay? Is it than unlocked for every other network in the Europe? Thanks

Just make sure that your brother's network is compatible. (AKA he uses a SIM card and that the network specs are compatible) and you should be fine...

Ok,but how should I know if they are compatible? What should I check first?

I think it's true... considering that HTC themselves said so...
If it is would it be a big deal? I don't know how HTC phones work really, I've modded a evo once but that's it. I've been a Sammy user for 3 years.

If I remember the AT&T one x had a bootloader unlock in a matter of weeks.

Well... A month the first time. Then they updated the firmware and that took about 5 months to crack... Still can't root the latest update... I'd be willing to bet we'll be waiting a long time. But hey, maybe this device will get popular.

Does this mean anything for the tmo version, or does no mention of it mean that tmo's will be bootloader unlockable?

lol, looks like you guys got the ol' bait and switch
I am hoping I get mine early so I can use HTCDev to unlock it before that gets disabled. I am not optimistic about it though.
It might already be locked out if att is shipping it.

Don't know why people are suprised by this. They locked every htc in recent history and also the Dev version would be completely irrelevant if you could unlock the AT&T version.

I'm surprised because I didn't know that. As a samsung user I don't pay much attention to htc.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium
Now that the phone has been out for a weekend by AT&T, is there any definitive proof that the AT&T one can still unlock the bootloader via HTC dev post 4/19?
Has anyone attempted it? Or are people receiving retail units with the bootloader locked?

This question has already been asked more than once. Why not use the "search" function and follow the posting rules instead of complaining about no one rushing to this thread?
The phone hasn't even been released yet. My advice is to give it a couple of weeks (at least) and let people have a look at it to see if it can be easily unlocked or not. Otherwise, you can try to deal with the carrier (or who ever you purchase your phone from) to try and get an unlock code. You usually need to be persistent and keep trying if getting the code doesn't work at first.

Free unlock codes are not safe.So better you can use any paid unlock codes to unlock your Samsung Galaxy S4 from AT&T network lock.To get unlock code visit Unlock-zone.com .Here they provide unlock code with free step by step instructions at low cost.This is safe and secure.

2 Q's before ordering

What's up guys? I'm thinking of buying this phone this coming week, but need answers on two questions..
1. Does the rooting method described in these forums work on the international model? Really would like to hide the soft keys and remove some bloat.
2. Would like to buy a case for this bad boy, and am I correct in assuming that all cases work except the ones made for the vzw version?
Huge thanks to anyone able to answer the questions, don't feel like using a Samsung device for the fourth year running..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I was told the root would work for international version. I haven't tried yet however.
Thanks for the answer. Been checking around and it seems like it works for both branded and unbranded international models

i can confirm that the root works, i have a three UK phone and rooting takes about 2 mins to complete

Agreed. Not very happy with this at all. Locking us out of our own devices that most of us paid FULL PRICE FOR!!!
Yeah me too... This sucks... I'm seriously thinking about selling mine and buying a international model. Does anyone know which model works good on At&t?
I bought 2 note 3's and and 1 gear. Dropped about a G and I can't use my device the way I would like? Not a happy customer at this point.

I went to an AT&T store a few days ago to get a secure element for free (SIM) and received a text survey the next day. I gave the employee a 10 but said I wouldnt recommend at&t to a friend, and everything else I gave low low reviews. They called me several hours later and I let them know why... I am sure it doesnt mean much... but at least they know I think they suck!
The people on the phone tried to help... but didn't really know how to go about getting someone to talk to me about bootloaders... they even recommended me checking out XDA to unlock it... LOL awesome.
I told them that I am perfectly fine with voiding my warranty... so can I please get this flashed to an international version... no idea how to answer something like that... oh well...

Don't see why you would think it was necessary to open a thread to say the obvious. If you don't want at&t sell it. Buy an international. C-ya bye

Yeah right. I'm sure this thread will be locked. I knew what I was getting when I bought it. I really didn't care as long as I could root.
If flashing and ROMing is that important, get a different phone. The T-Mobile version of the Note 3 is unlocked and will work on AT&T. I prefer AT&T because I get 4G/LTE where I live and in the building where I work.
Very happy with my Note 3 rooted and using Xposed, Wanam, etc. No need for a custom ROM. At least for me anyways.
AT&T has analytics on social media and Web information they collect on what is being said about them. Most large companies do and thought this might get some attention.

I think there are threads about this already... Before the opinion gods explode in here gonna close this... :good:
