Hello,
Has anyone actually tried an N9005 on ATT LTE or Rogers LTE?
Lot's of speculation and indeed online the specs say it should not work. Hopefully there is an ATT or Rogers modem to flash soon.
Thanks,
Kevin

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

I am using an n9005 and it works on LTE just fine. Maybe the coverage area is good where I normally use it.
The n9005 will work on Rogers LTE where there is some 2600mhz coverage.

Yeah would be a dream come true if it could be achieved on the Note 3. I wonder what's so different from Note 2 to Note 3 that it can't be done the same way?

I'm waiting for something to happen on this front as well... I've had my n9005 for about 2 months on at&t and have been settling for hspa+ but it's *really* slow. if anybody has any ideas as to how to get LTE working on the n9005 i'd really like to hear about it.

I've attempted to flash the modems from N900W8 firmwares without success.
Still looking for a way to enable 4G LTE with Telus on the n9005.

You would at least need the AWS band on your device to start thinking that enabling LTE for Telus is feasible...
Your device does not even have this band on 3G...

Both the n9005 and n900w8 have the same hardware. It's just primarily based on software at this point.

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.

is it possible to change the antenna on the sgs3 to make it compatible with tmo's lte?
Are the antenas in the back coverpiece? If so, I'd imagine it's possible.
Pretty sure it has more to do with what bandwidth the radio chip will support. TMO decided to go with an LTE deployment that the S3 can't/won't broadcast & receive on.

haha they say there are no dumb questions but...
The AT&T version has support for LTE in the AWS band, technically making it compatible with T-Mobile's future LTE. However, AWS HSPA+ support is either disabled or impossible, so you'd be stuck on 2G for the time being, except in the areas where PCS refarming has already begun. I'm also not sure that the LTE radio is unlocked for anything but AT&T, even with another SIM, but who knows.

I recently bought one from www.android-enjoyed.com and they shipped from hongkong to me. It's perfect and in a sealed box. Also available at www.gsmnation.com. Price is the factor which vendor to go with. Check if at&t support the LTE bandwidth (800, 1800, 2600). Good luck.
unless you're going to be staying a lot in Europe, the N7105 isn't going to be a particularly better phone for you with its Euro/ETSI bands for LTE. The Note2 is multiband GSM and 3G (UMTS) anyway.
And LTE isn't fully deployed across Europe either, so by the time it is, the Note3 will be here, so I would say buy a cheaper Note2-7100 and save your money!
Or buy an US variant and flash a custom ROM on it.

Just as Victorator mentioned, just get the AT&T Note 2 and flash international firmware onto it. The N7105's LTE hardware is not compatible with domestic North American LTE service, so it won't work. Fortunately, the AT&T/Rogers i317(m) Note 2's are virtually identical to the N7105 from a hardware standpoint, with the exceptions of differing LTE radios and lack of FM radio in the case of the North American Note 2's. That's why it's so easy to flash the international firmware onto them.

Niether of those are selling cheap N7105 compared to
www.negrielectronics.com
Who are also more suitably based for the OP in the US.
The 7105 LTE bands aren't the US bands but alot are buying the 7105 for its faster 3G capabilities (DC HSPA+) rather than for its 4G
Not sure whether its an advantage to have that feature in US though.
For the International version N7100, if I put in the T-mobile sim, do I only get "edge" and not "3G" ?
And with AT&T, do I at least get the 4G? I am debating to either get the AT&T one of the international one.

I'm in the same boat. I'm moving from Japan to the America, and I have an unlocked N2 with docomo. I knew off the bat that the LTE wouldn't be compatible, but didn't even consider the 3G. Hate to have such an awesome device on an ancient network.
I am using AT&T myself. I just want to make sure with the N7100 international unlocked version. Will I get 4G , I know LTE is out of luck.
Can anyone confirm this?

If you have the INT GT-N7100 then you will want to use AT&T but go with Straight Talk they use att network. I use Straight Talk and get dl speeds of 6-8 up of about2-4. And its cheaper than att.

The Octa-core version is LTE only from my understanding. Since T-Mobile's network is not LTE, but HSPA+ it would not be compatible.

This is incorrect. The i9500 has support for all 20 LTE bands but no modem for them, so no LTE. As far as support on T-Mobile; it has UTMS/DC-HSPA+42, which is what the GS2, GS3, and Note 2 all had. T-Mobile does support LTE in a handful of markets and is adding 10-20 in the next few months. Please do some research before commenting on something you know nothing about.

ROMs should work from the i9500, the modem would need to be left out to avoid a brick/baseband unknown.

Is there, or has there ever planned on being, an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (LTE version) for the US market, which I could possibly region sim-unlock at a later time? I originally planned on purchasing a European unlocked LTE version, but after finding out both LTE won't work on AT&T and the phone is region sim-locked, I'm **** outta luck.

AT&T allows you to unlock their phones if your account is in a good standing and you have been under contract with this phone for more than 6 months. You can request unlock code through AT&T website. Alternately, there are a bunch of paid sites out there, which will generate an unlock code for you based on your model # and IMEI, for $25-30USD.
You got options, if all you want is the worldwide voice capability. As you said, version with AT&T LTE bands will not have 4G connection in 99% of the other countries in the world. There is only a handful of other countries, which use LTE band 4 and only Puerto Rico uses band 17.
T-Mobile also allows you to unlock it when:
You pay in full
You pay it off
Does anyone know if the T-Mobile Version will work on AT&T LTE? Now that it is confirmed that the AT&T version is Bootloader Locked, that is my only other option. Otherwise it doesn't look like I'm going to be picking up an N3 unless Samsung comes out with a developer edition. Fingers Crossed.

Yes, it will: http://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones_data_devices/android/samsung-galaxy-note-3
AT&T uses the frequencies 700MHz band 17 & 29, 1700MHz band 4, 2300MHz band 30. However, very small % of AT&T LTE coverage uses bands 29, 30, so you will get AT&T LTE coverage with T-Mobile GN3 in 99% of the places.

Hi, I bought my note 3 in UAE and I am using it in the UK. I am on Vodafone. I always get rubbish signal in my house. It is on "emergency calls only" nearly all the time. Also the LTE/4G has NEVER worked since I got it on launch (Sep). Whenever I turn the 4G on the H+ sign never comes up. Some people may argue that Vodafone is a rubbish network. I agree too but I think I may need to flash a different modem? My model is a SM-9005. Do I need to flash a different modem to get the 4G to work? Thanks

You can actually try a different ROM or maybe a custom ROM? At the same time, reception might just be poor in your house. So you might need to make do with regular 3G or EDGE. I no for a fact that in my friend's house i ALWAYS have to switch to 2G because 3G reception is never available, I have SM-N900 tho.

ROM's won't make a difference as it's the hardware on the device itself.
I also noticed the note 3 doesnt have a superb signal reception... For example in my house my moms s3 and dads s4 have full bars where i on my note have one bar less than they do. Little dissapointed

Check phone status in settings and compare it with the S3 and S4 - you'll see it's just the bar's that show different the dBm's are what counts. You'll see it'll be identical to the S3/4

The device itself has the bands. But you cannot access them by changing the modem. The N9005 supports many many bands but different MPN Codes on each device limit it to specific countries.
It's all a legal thing. Radio frequencies are controlled, unless the UAE version supports the exact same frequency that your UK carrier runs on it won't work. Upgrade to kitkat and test it.
