Does it work on AT&T's LTE network? Anyone?
The phone does not have LTE hardware/radios. So there is no need to try it.
My mistake. I assumed the Euro version was LTE enabled.

Totally agree with pops without the 700 or AWS LTE Bands no way jose!
Hi,
I'm also wondering about LTE here in Canada on Rogers. LTE is on 2100 Mhz here. Has anyone tried entering settings and which network types are available? GSM, WCDMA, etc...?
To help clear up some confusion. There is no currently available Galaxy Note for sale that supports LTE. Here is what the European version supports.
GSM/GPRS
Frequencies 850/900/1800/1900
3G/HSPA
Frequencies 850/900/1900/2100 (Quad-Band)
LTE: No
WiMax: No
The upcoming Korean version may have LTE, but we will need to wait and see.
There are over a dozen bands worldwide approved for LTE. Just because a phone has an LTE radio doesn't mean it will work with a specific carrier. Unless they come up with a universal LTE radio that supports a dozen bands we're all kind of screwed as there won't be any roaming and we'll have to buy phones directly from the carriers. VZW and AT&T both use the 700MHz spectrum but because of slight differences in the frequency their radios are not compatible. LTE's going to be a mess.
All the U.S. versions seem to support LTE bands for U.S. carriers, but the same versions do not support global UMTS frequencies. For example, the at&t version (D800) lacks the 900Mhz frequency. The T-Mobile version (D801) lacks the 900Mhz UMTS frequency. The Verizon version (VS980) has all four UMTS frequencies, but lacks LTE band 17 which would enable it to work on at&t's network.
So, is there a version that has a versatile radio similar to the new iphone 5s that has all four UMTS frequencies plus LTE bands 4, 17, etc?
Hello, I bought an SM-N910S bc it it listed to have ATT lte but I can not get it to pick up lte. Can anyone help?
You have to introduce the APN settings I guess.
I did. I tried *#0011# but couldnt get the menu up.
It is in the normal settings of the phone in the network part "name of the acces poitns".

I am really sorry to dissappoint you, but your phone is NOT compatible with AT&T LTE. None of the international Samsung phones support North America LTE (Bands 4, 13, & 17). 95% of AT&T's LTE network runs on LTE band 17 (700mhz) and your phone does not support that frequency. This means you will never get AT&T LTE on it. You should pick up HSPA+ which nowadays is performing faster than LTE in some areas. Looking at your certain model, it looks like you may pick up band 5 LTE, which AT&T has in VERY FEW areas.
For future reference, the only models that will pick up AT&T LTE are the AT&T model obviously, T-Mobile models, and Verizon. No international version has ever had support for North America LTE bands.
Here is the specs to your model and you can see nowhere does it support band 4 or 17 LTE.

The N910s isn't even coming up on Samsung.com for me. Probably because the device isn't a North American device. I'm telling you that an international device will not support AT&T band 17 LTE. Hopefully I'm wrong. Do you have any proof that the device you bought says it supports band 17 LTE? Not unlocked USA LTE. You want band 17 LTE.

MattMJB0188 is right. You are out of luck. The hardware doesn't support the ATT LTE bands. You should have searched the forums here first. This has been discussed before. Also, where on that site does it list band 17 (700) and 4 (1700) support? I couldn't find it.

Hmmmm. You picked up the Korean version of the Note 4? Can I ask why? I do see support for band 17. Was the device originally locked? Its possible AT&T may be blocking LTE on that model number I don't know. If the APN settings are right, then I'd make sure my account is provisioned for LTE (that matters with AT&T).
Just so you know, your device is lacking band 2 LTE and band 4 which AT&T is using in congested areas. Generally, this will give you a poor performance. For example when an AT&T device is using band 17 and it becomes congested it can easily switch to band 2. Your device will not.
Good luck with your warranty also.
Its only band 17 in my area. And i travel a lot to china, south korea, and Canada so i wanted the bands. It seems ATT is the only carrier that lte isnt working on that its suppose too

Did you give AT&T the imei of your note 4? If so, you won't get LTE. You can confirm this by putting the sim back in an ATT android LTE phone and testing LTE. It shouldn't get LTE either until you switch the imei back with AT&T.
No I did not. I believe its an sktelecom software add on.

Exactly. You have to supply AT&T with an IMEI number from one of their devices in order to get LTE to work. Just go to a store and jot down the IMEI on any of their LTE android devices. Then call customer service and have them provision your account.
I did. They have my Q10 IMEI

If you have the correct APN, and your account is provisioned for one of their Android LTE devices, then I don't know. Its possible they could be blocking LTE from that device, given its a Korean phone. I don't know. Good luck.
My guess is they only unlock 3G bands and leave LTE locked. I'm going to dig farther
Hi Bros,
I got a gift from my Hong Kong friend which is Note 4 but is N910U, which is different from US ATT version N910A.
I check up the LTE band, N910U support the below cellular:
GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850 (B5), UMTS900 (B8), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1), LTE2100 (B1), LTE850 (B5), LTE1700/2100 (B4), LTE1800 (B3), LTE2600 (B7), LTE1900 (B2), LTE900 (B8), LTE700 (B28)
For ATT in my area, LTE mostly are using band 4 and band 17. Sure it should able to using ATT LTE even band 4 is the only band available in N910U.
However, I insert the ATT SIM card, it not going to LTE, mostly the top signal icon only show U+/U, seldom show 4G. Sure never have 4G LTE show up.
I call up ATT customer service and I also provide the IMEI # for them and see they can manual register this IMEI # into their database for LTE support, but they said this IMEI show non LTE support. Even they tell me the APN manual set up, also I x check with my existing unlock Oneplus One, but still cannot switch to 4G LTE band.
I also use LTE Discovery App to confirm my area what is the LTE band, I'm sure when I'm using band 4 on my Oneplus One, this N910U still not connected to band 4, just stay at U/U+ only.
I don't know should I need to talk to a more technical person in ATT? Or this is a business issue that ATT will not support unlock phone from outside even LTE band is matching ATT?
I need some advise from you, my wife love this phone as she are on Note 4 for 2 years and she like to use stylus too.

The AT&T cell towers does not fully support Intel 7260 modem inside your Galaxy Note 4 device. Most, if not all, devices sold in the US use Qualcomm Gobi modems and Ericsson X modems. The only option I can think of is receiving a new authentication from the cell towers by asking AT&T for a new SIM card.

I don't know where you got your info but I am sure it is wrong. According to Samsung on this site http://www.samsung.com/nz/consumer/mobile-phone/smartphone/smartphone/SM-N910UZWENZC

So it is not related to N910U using Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5433? Is the modem itself? Or Exynos 5 Octa 5433 embedded the 7260 modem which is not support by ATT cell towers?
Let me go ATT shop to get a replacement SIM and see how it work or not. Thanks.
PS: I try to search the detail spec for N910U, it never point out using Intel 7260 modem, how to know the phone using the exact modem? So in future can understand more before getting new unlock phone. Thanks.

Hi,
The link you post here is not Hong Kong, pls see the below official Samsung HK:
http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/consumer/mobile/galaxy-note/galaxy-note/SM-N910UZWETGY
4G FDD LTE: B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B28(700)
So it absolutely support LTE band from ATT

The issue is not from the exynos chipset, but the modem itself. I can assure you that SM-N910U comes with Intel 7260 LTE modem because I've been working with Samsung Software Engineers to develop kernels and drivers for this modem.
To clarify... AT&T engineers has programmed the towers in a way that make the towers reject certain modems because they cannot guarantee the compatiblity. What they are trying to do is to make you use a more stable HSPA+ connection rather than LTE connection that has issues with the modem because in the long run, AT&T will have to give you credit for service disruptions and they are not willing to do that.

Thanks bros. So just a only customer (or few more) using N910U, ATT engineering team will not change their policy to accept other modems or work out some software upgrade program to accept other modem with 100% compatibility. So bad then.

1 more, I search multiple tear down webpage, sure not yet find any one tear down N910U, but find a name Qualcomm MDM9225M, is this the one you talk about the modem?
PS: I search it, it is belong to Qualcomm Gobi modem chipsets. So if not using Qualcomm 805 as processor, that means they are not using Qualcomm chipset for thin modem and so ATT not going to support. Qualcomm dominate the US market then. Too bad.

No they will not. Unfortunately, that's how carriers in the U.S. do their jobs.
-->About the modem: If you are not using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, your device comes with either Intel 7260, Ericsson, or Samsung 300 modems. SM-N910U uses Intel.
Hi Bros,
As coming Galaxy S6 not using Snapdragon 810, but using Exynos 7420, so the modems also not using Qualcomm,. Do you know S6 using what modem? If S6 using Intel modem or other like what you said Ericsson, or Samsung 300 modems, ATT should change their software to support non Qualcomm modem, which means my N910U may able to use ATT 4G LTE support? Can you advise?
Based on my reading for months on here. N910C seems to be the only variant with exynos and supports AT&T LTE.
I bought mine about 2 weeks ago and so far I get LTE in most places.
Per site http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_nexus_6p-7588.php. I was looking at the supported bands for the nexus 6p. It's said there is an American and Global verison. Is this true ? If so, is the google play store selling the american version? The american version is selling the one that has 1700 band. Which only t-mobile uses
I presume if you order the phone from US store you will get the US version... I live in Canada and ordered the phone from US to get the free $50 Google Play card.
I believe so. Also the USA version actually has way more LTE bands than the International version AFAIK

Try to repeat that again in your head.
And think "Why would the NA version have more bands than the Int. version?".
So no, the Int. version has waaaay more bands than the NA version.

Hi. Does anyone know if the American version works with Vodafone UK 4g? I had 4g reception only at a Vodafone store (they've got a signal boost), nowhere else can't get 4g...
This may sound dumb but, can I somehow make the 6P American model to work on band 38(2600) INTL?

No. If the hardware doesn't support a specific band, then there's no way to make it work.
there are no difference, just use US version if you're in US. If you're outside, any version will be OK.
I used my US Nexus 6P while in Dubai and I had LTE. I think you should just get the US Version if you live in the US especially if you want to use Project Fi so that the phone can connect to the sprint and T-Mobile networks properly.

How about the other way around? I have the possibility to get an US version while visiting the States, but then I'll be back in Europe and the US version doesn't have the 20LTE band, which is the most common in EU. I'm worried it'll have an impact in the LTE reception and speed. Anyone uses an US version in Eu? How is it? I see there was another person in the UK asking the same bit got no definitive answer.
