I was wondering what the difference between the two was. I live in a country that only has the not 3 n9000 version but was looking for the n9004. Anyone know what the t mobile version of the phone is? How is it different from the international version and what bands does it run on? I will be in the states for a week and need to figure out whether to get it from there.

Hi
Is there any difference in the firmware version of a nexus 4 bought in a google play store or in other place like Handtec?
I ask this because of the different firmware version of the galaxy nexus (takju, yakju, yakjuxw...).
Thank you
Those were because of different regions and features/ CDMA vs gsm and such (I think).
The nexus 4 is the same everywhere. No carrier meddling is why also

Hi,
I went yesterday into an area where I used to get a good 3G service in the past with my T-mo SGS3. My I9500 suddenly showed that I only have 2G at best in that same area.
I'm afraid that the I9500, being an international version might have some issues with T-Mobile in the US in some areas. Can this be possible?
Also, I know that there was a code to get into the band selection menu and it worked on the SGS3 T-mo version but the same code does not work on SGS4. Does anyone know how to access it?
Thanks,

I have the t mob version and it seems to work fine on attending but I would be interested to know if anyone has done a side by side test with an att version to see if they really do get same speed, same signal etc.
While devices are supposed to be the same, is it possible that the radio software may not be, I. E. specifically for the AT&T or the mobile network?
On my other AT&T devices the radios were updated from time to time by AT&T which is why I ask.
Anyone?
Update: I ran speed test on my T-Mobile note 3 on att versus an att Galaxy s4 a number of times. Download speed was about 50 per cent faster on the Note but Upload speed was consistently about 30 per cent of the s4. Anyone know why?

I've run speed test on my S4 (AT&T) and Note 3 (T Mobile) and they are consistently the same on AT&T LTE.

Sorry for sounding dumb. What do you mean radios were updated? Perhaps being a t mobile note 3 user on AT&T one would need to insert an active t mobile sim in for updates ?

AT&T doesn't prioritize any device, just so you all know. If that was the case, you'd all be seeing 1mbps for LTE. I used an unbranded/International Galaxy S3 on AT&T and I got the same HSPA+ speeds as my AT&T S3. The phone will just show up as an unknown device.
I have both an ATT and a T-Mobile Note 3, and the speeds are essentially the same with the same sim card.
Using Att note 3 on Att network..

You sound like a 1 percenter. Why you hogging all the Notes for yourself? Can't the little guy even have a Note?
Ive read some posts were ppl wanted to exchange their phones for the other version. Ive noticed my phone acting up recently (rooted MF3) It randomly reboots, the home button acts up and today my phone was off which revented my alarm from getting me up. All of these aren't huge issues but if it will get me a replacement phone on the other version than its worth the time. How would I go about asking for the other version (not even sure of the other version is even available) I'm assuming ATT will ask why I'm requesting the other version.

I don't think ATT is going to give you the other version just because you ask for it
What I'm saying is, my current phone has been acting up for a while but I've dealt with it. My issues most likely will fetch me a replacement model. If it all possible I'd like to get the other version so I'd like to know how to ask. I'm still going to call them regardless about my issues.

Most refurbished phones are shipped with the latest version. The best way to go about it is to tell them that your work uses an application that is not compatible with the latest software and you need a device with MDL. Chances are, they will not be able to help you, but it is worth a try.

I live in Australia and there is a couple of different models being sold by different retailers here namely SM-G900X and SM-G900I. With all my previous Galaxy phones I used to flash them to Polish ROMs as they got firmware updates well in advance of Australia but the Polish ROM is SM-G900F. Is there any issue still doing this does anyone know? I cant even find a 900I ROM to reflash with if something goes wrong and I don't want to brick my phone the second day I have it.
Anyone have any idea? Also the Australian 900I version has its dock icons locked which is annoying.

im in the same boat as you maye so frustrating
There must be someone game enough to try this out. There all isn't a 900I ROM available anywhere.

Ok I gave up waiting for an answer and went and saw a friend in retail with stock and we tried it on his demo unit. You CAN NOT flash a 900F from onto a 900I it errors out before it begins saying the model is different.
Seems like we are stuck with the handicaps imposed on our model as Samsung has chosen to make regional models.

Same thing with the Aus S4. You can unlock the dock but you'd have to root the phone first.

The S4 I just flashed mine to a UK or Polish ROM and had no issues and got updates earlier.
