[Q] Samsung SG Note 4 SM-N910C T-Mobile Network

Hello,
I recently bought the phone off ebay. It stated that this phone has the Band 4, 1700 and 2100 frequency. When I look at other sites with the same note 4 N910C model, it stated that the model does not support the 1700 mhz but only the 2100.
The seller gave me the samsung website and below stated that this phone supports B4 (AWS). Is that the same as 1700 and 2100 that T-mobile uses?
Can anyone confirm that the phone will work with my T-mobile network at 3g, 4g, or 4g LTE? I am in the USA and zip code 91746 if that matters. thanx!
The link of the phone i bought is below.

I guess you don't have the phone yet, but you may need to actually test it yourself. So far I have not seen any successful 910c units reported to get 4G in the US. That does not mean that you will be unable but the info is just not there(correct me if wrong).
Apparently both bands are needed-one band for out and another for inbound signal.
Good luck, I have been watching this as well.

I'm using mine in TMO Puerto Rico
I'm using my N910c in T-Mobile Puerto Rico and I get LTE. The only issue I have is a weak voice signal in places where I used to have better coverage. But I don't have problems with the data at all, at least as of now. Maybe in Puerto Rico LTE for Tmo is configured differently, but my LTE is working.
One thing I can tell you is that the package doesn't lists 1700 band in LTE AWS. But mine works ok on Tmo PR's network at least.

according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Americas
tmobile uses many blocks of 1700, depending on regions,but only on 1900 and 1700 mhz , and AWS is the one wrongly called 1700/2100 (1710 to 1755 uplink, and from 2110 to 2155 MHz downlink)
so in theory it has everything you need for tmobile in any area, maybe you need an update , check that no one messed with flashing your radio to some other model to make it work on their area

Hi i have 910C i can get a 4G signal i live in nyc my speeds are about 17 over 20 averagely and at best 30 over 30 hope that helps .

From what I can tell, you will probably be able to use it, but you said N910C, but linked us to an N910U. Either way I'll post my findings for both.
T-Mobile's bands are 2, 4, 5, and 12.
N910U's bands are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 28.
N910C's bands are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17, and 20.
I'm new to this stuff, but this tells me that either one will mostly support T-Mobile. I would use an app to see which band you're currently utilizing on your phone, and pray that it isn't 12, cuz neither one will work.
Bonus: From what I can tell, the N910C will work completely on AT&T. :good:

Guys, any news if the Galaxy Note 4 SM N910C accept lte 1700. Becuase it was about to get it from a store. But like the picture above of the box it doesnt specifies the 1700 network. And the LTE in my country uses the lte 4 1700/2100.

Luis

The box lists it as AWS, which is band 4.

Did you ever buy it?
If so how is it working?
I'm in the same boat and would like to know as well

Fixed the 4g issue!
I have the N919c from UAE and I got it to work on 4g for tmobile by calling SUPPORT.
When we use auto assign to 4g network through the data settings it will not automatically pick the correct Tmobile APNs. The support rep told me what to type line by line to get it perfect and I'm on 4g as I type this. You have to call them to get the correct values for your region but we DEFINITELY CAN GET 4G IN THE USA! I'm in Tampa Bay Florida with 4g in the ghetto, lol
Yayz ☺

Everything is good. coming from the nexus 4, i feel i have more control in my device (excluding the rooting and unlocking situation), due to microsd card, removable battery, and usb otg. Performance-wise, I think this phone will last me a very long time (if not probably my last phone upgrade). I don't game much so as long as apps, video and music playback, and web browsing is fast. When the battery falls below standard, i can easily just buy a new one from a reputable third party.
I just notice some "build quality" issue tho. Like the metal shiny sides r very easily scratched, and the top left corner of the screen near the led, you are able to move it if you push it in (made a thread about this but it seem to be normal). My note 4 had a defect, which was the the proximity sensor isn't working, so i sent the device back and i'm waiting for a new one or waiting to be repaired.

Droid Turbo conquers Europe!

CONFIRMED DROID TURBO WORKING IN EUROPE
I live Norway, but am from Louisiana, bought my Droid Turbo outright from Best Buy
I knew all the past trouble with VZW, global, CDMA and roaming.
But with the upcoming unlocked era, the radio bands from the specs and a bit of homework, all signs pointed to this working.
Worst case scenario would have been tethering it off my Nexus 5 anyway.
So I ordered a nanoSIM from my company provider, Netcom.
I popped it in and got the following:

Ugh, C'mon SIM Card is not from Verizon ? Than sounds pretty locked to me.
I tried a few more times rebooting in Global, CDMA, and GSM modes to be sure.
No connection, no networks found, Voice data blocked, no service.
OK, time to call Verizon. Let's just say their organization doesn't handle call transfers well when you don't have a verizon account.
The low level tech support told me the Droid Turbo is unlocked from the box, they couldnt lock any of their 4G phones if they wanted.
But, when I mentioned the "SIM Card is not from Verizon" he transferred me to Motorola.
Motorola rep insisted that message indicated a locked status, ans referred me back to Verizon.
Next level insisted to me that its not locked and even that DT doesnt use a nanoSIM, which I eventually convinced her contrary to their latest reference material nanoSIMs aren't just iPhone anymore.
After another 45min of bouncing around their phone systems, and explaining I just want to use a local SIM in Europe, I finally got up to top level tech Global support.
Now this guy was actually helpful.after establishing I knew my way around android and understood GSM vs CDMA etc, we determined the message might be remnants of a lock program. Since I was blocked from even viewing any mobile networks, he had me manually enter the APN for Netcom here and restart. It was then I got to tell him about the wonderful DT bug of ART runtime and the "Android is upgrading" optimization on EVERY restart. He took note of that. He got my email and I send him screenshots of the locked/blocked notifications to send to his Motorola liaison.
Reboot, still nothing, same errors. Out of desperation, we rebooted one more time in desperation.
Agonizing wait, then BOOM! signal! NOt sure if it was the wait, or number of reboots but it finally took, even with the non-Verizon SIM notification. Edge only in my house , but that normal, but I went for a ride around the block and got several channels of Edge, GPRS, HPSA and a sniff of HPSA+!!. I will test 4G LTE when I drive though a coverage area tomorrow. It also sees the other provider here, Telenor.
So we have a true global phone, with hiccups. Do your homework with frequency bands, and be patient with SIMS, registration, reboots.

Awesome! Now talk to that same Motorola tech about getting your bootloader unlocked!!!!

This was not a high level Moto Support guy, I did ask about bootloaders while i had him on the line, he said "Yeah if its the Developer Editions go to the Moto website and find the unlock tool", so usual line.
I did a drive though town today and the DT did not connect to 4G in Global or GSM modes, so I gotta try a few more things.
But it did hold a pretty good HPSA+ around the town and even connected to UMTS way out on the island I work on.
So confirmed VZW Droid Turbo connection to GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HPSA, and HPSA+ in Europe so far.

Droid Turbo working Well @ Malaysia too！

in Italy Droid Turbo is confirmed that works on LTE too.
the phone is globaly unlocked
if in ur country there are operators that use the LTE bands from turbo,u will get 4g lte without problems.

Now let's unlock additional LTE bands!
Well, with Moto Maxx theoretically possible since we have unlockable bootloader and root. So, not yet possible on Droid Turbo (locked bootloader, no root yet).
I messed with it last weekend for a couple of hours on one of my Moto Maxx phones, then had to put it on hold. During the work week, I can't devote time to it. Gonna take another stab at it this weekend.

band 20
with this band unlocked ,it will be the perfect smartphone.
but i guess it s quite near impossible.

My provider Netcom has LTE bands 3,7,20
Droid Turbo specs claim LTE bands 2,3,4,7,13
So we have a match for 3 (2600MHz) & 7 (1800MHz)
For some reason is hasn't connected automatically yet.
Are you running Global mode or LTE/GSM/UMTS mode in Italy?
I have requested the VZW tech to request Moto to unlock me so I can get him network stats, logcats etc.
Its a long shot, but worth it. Stay tuned.

Turbo in Ireland
Got my turbo from best buy early November, brought it to Ireland the next day. On the same day i got a načo sim from my provider (3). Swapped Verizon sim for my new one, turned the phone on and apart from "sim card not from Verizon" notification everything works perfectly, 3g,hspa+,Lte, you name it, it works. No tinkering or messing around with settings required, apart from setting your access point obviously.

Dammit I got the same bands and its not connecting to LTE,
I have been on the phone with Netcom, Motorola, even Verizon and nobody can figure it out.

The tech support people at Moto talked me into doing a factory reset. I should have known better.
Now I cant connect to any network. 2G, 3G, or 4G.
Need ideas.....

I thought the LTE bands from every Moto phone is bound to hardware limitations and cannot be unlocked software-wise?
For the Sony z1c you can unlock all LTE bands: http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...ad-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269
Or did you find a way how to unlock other LTE bands on Moto phones? Cause we (the Moto X owners) would love to unlock all LTE bands!

This is as far as I've gotten. But I'm trying to not to screw up my phone.
This is how far I've gotten.
I'm not sure what to choose. Some people say in the threads that in this program "WCDMA" category also applies LTE bands, while others say you need to do something else. Conflicting info. I'm trying to read everything again to see which is correct.
Since there's no band 12, I think I need a secondary program mentioned in those threads.

OK, using this guide and the numbers from the NV calculator, I enabled all the LTE bands I wanted.

Incase anyone is wondering this value will "theoretically" enable band 12 and the other ones listed below on the OPO
LTE:Band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 19, 20, 21

I confirmed this number.
So, I changed the value and after reboot it kept the new value.
As the Moto Maxx was being tested to be the Nexus 6 as late as mid-August, it has the same capabilities of the Nexus 6 (including Qi wireless charging, which is VERY unusual on a Moto phone). Thus it can also handle LTE band 12 just like the Moto Maxx, not that it matters. It was LTE band 5 I was more worried about. When this phone with this same FCC ID number went through the FCC it had LTE band 5 enabled, but when sold in Puerto Rico (U.S. territory) with this same FCC ID number, LTE band 5 was no longer present but LTE band 3 was enabled.
Now they are all enabled.

QPST and mzTool seem to be only for enabling 2G/3G bands.
You need QXDM to edit/enable LTE bands. I wasted a lot of time on QPST and mzTool. I already have all the GSM/HSPA bands I need. I wanted more LTE bands. Once I figured out what each was good for, then I concentrated on QXDM, and the NV/LTE browser with the NV calculator app. Somone else had already calculated the number, but I double checked it. Then I "wrote" it. When I rebooted and checked the number again, the edited value was still there.
(You do need QPST installed to use QXDM, so you do need both programs.)
The hardest part was the steps to get the COM ports to show up in QPST and QXDM. Last weekend I spent a couple of hours and never could get it to connect. Today, I spend like 6 hours on it, and was successful.
The only issue is all I have to guage my success right now is the NV calculator numbers. I went out driving around and the only AT&T bands I could find within a 3 mile radius were bands 2 and 17, which I already had. LTE band 5 may not even be in use in the Atlanta metro area. I don't know.
Some phones have hidden service menus (accessed via dialer codes) that will display all the bands you are capable of receiving, but the Moto menu I've accessed does not seem to have that option.

thanks a lot for the good instructions!
You could even write a full tutorial now especially as you mentioned it took you 6hours to get the phone actually connected to the PC.
Now its all a matter of whether the antennas / mboards / chips really are different or if there are hardware limitations for the LTE bands...

Huawei P8Max T-Mobile Frequencies?

Huawei P8Max supports these frequencies:
mobile network 2G: GSM 850/900/1800 / 1900MHz 3G: WCDMA 850/900/1900 / 2100MHz 4G: FDD LTE1800 / 2100 / 2600MHz (band: B3 / B1 / B7)
I live in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Will I get LTE? I read that T-Mobile LTE frequency is 1700/2100. According to the stats above, 2100 is listed.
Thank you!

That phone will not work well with T-mobile USA LTE. For best performance you want (bands) B2/B4/B12. From what you posted, it doesn't look like that would even work with some of T-mobile USA's HSPA which is also 1700/2100. It would only work with the 1900Mhz HSPA, which is quite a limitation in my opinion. Sorry!

If anyone has imported this phone and tried it with T-Mobile service - please post feedback here. Like the OP, very interested to know if the phone will get 4G service, or if there is anything that can be done to unlock T-Mo LTE bands in the firmware

If anyone has imported this phone can you please tell me what USA providers support this phone. Would one have better performance than another? I don't know much about the technical aspects of cell phones and am getting so frustrated trying to find a provider! Thanks for your time!

Store admin from honormi.com told me Sprint in US support P8Max LTE frequencies for the version they sell. Don't know if what he said is true and I'm certain neither of the GSM providers AT&T/T-Mobile support P8Max's LTE bands.

Hhhhmmmmm. I have been researching both the P8MAX and the MEDIAPAD X2 for a long time now. (Because I am not a good technical person). I am going to try to check the 701L, 702L and 703L on the website willmyphonework.NET to see if that website (highly recommended to me) agrees. I checked GSM carriers and there was no LTE support... I will try Sprint! Thanks!

WOW! Willmyphonework.NET DOES say that the 703L (they don't have the 701L or the 702L listed) is LTE supported by Sprint USA. I just can't believe it! I have been researching both the P8MAX and the MEDIAPAD X2 for HOURS (on a daily basis) because I am not a phone expert. I cannot believe that not even ONE person piped up to say that their P8MAX was LTE supported on Sprint! You have now given me something else to obsessively research! Lol!

Hi xxfirerican,
I'm not sure you're right on that one.
There has already been quite some info (even apps) on how to unlock additional LTE bands on Qualcomm powered devices. Look here on XDA
Now even reports come in on Exynos devices (SGS6) being put into Diag Mode and adding LTE bands. Link to be found here on XDA. This being possible because lot of other chipmakers do use the Qualcomm modem patent and/or chip.
Now the question is, does this work for Kirin setup too...
I've been looking all around, but still haven't found any reference on the modem being used on the Kirin 935 chipset / P8 Max.
Could someone shed some light on this?
***EDIT***
I tried the ##366633# / ##DMMODE# code on my daughters unrooted P8 (she won't let me root it...) and got some reaction indeed, which might suggest that this code could work on rooted phone with Kirin chipset.
Could someone with a rooted phone confirm this?
Kind regards,

Got my p8 max cannot get it to get internet on T-Mobile. Texting works, contact sync works but no internet so many apn settings out there not sure what is correct

I've been using my P8max since the end of July on Lycamoblie, a T-Mobile MVNO, and I have internet access, albeit, extremely slow 3g/2g access. I'm on WiFI 90% of the time so I'm ok with this. I knew this when I bought the phone so no surprises for me but I wonder why you're not able to get any internet on your phone. That worries me a little if I ever decide to switch from Lycamobile, will I have issues too...

Hi there,
Given the recently announced Mate S' chipset specifications which are almost identitcal to P8 Max, it would be exciting to see if we could port the modem files to the P8 Max and obtaining a far wider LTE compatibility.
Should be possible, wouldn't it?
Regards,

Has anyone tried buying sprint data or boost data only?

QUESTION,THESE PHONES HAVE DUAL SIM....if one goes to willmyphonework.net it tells u that the p8max and honor x2 will only receive 4g LTE signal via sprint and boost mobile,but the 2g and 3g wont work. So, can I buy a ten dollar data plan and use it with my ATT in my dual sim tray?

I've got the P8 Max 701L and I'm not getting LTE in the status bar but check out my speeds. The first pic is with Cricket Wireless service, the second is with MetroPCS, both GSM carriers.

Eh, I'm using it without issue on T-Mobile.
Has some issues with buffering 1080p youtube video in lower signal areas though.

Hey do you mind posting your APN settings? I'm with metropcs and I'm told I can use T-mobile towers now. A screenshot would suffice. Thanks

Did the settings provide LTE internet speeds?
I am looking into getting the device but am apprehensive because of the LTE connectivity issue that several people have mentioned, but others have denied. Locally, tmobile towers only provide LTE, edge does not connect to the internet at all.
Thanks

Thinking about it. Once I switch to the new plans I won't really have a need for root. The slightly smaller size and better battery life may be worth it. Just let worried about updates.

i have droid maxx 1, non dev edition, bootloader unlocked via sunshine. y u laugh?

I'm considering it because I might receive one as compensation for a debt (long story, lol). I'm also looking at the Case-Mate Tough Case (black) for it. I like the fact that the Maxx 2 doesn't have a Verizon logo on the front and the back can be switched out for a Moto X Play cover. I know the bootloader situation will take time (6-12 months) but I'm in no hurry because I have my trusty Skyrocket running smoothly on Tipsy OS LP 5.1.1 for the time being.

I just picked one up yesterday. I was trying to unload an Moto X 2013 on swappa and no one was biting. This was just my backup phone. Verizon trade in offered me $300 for it by purchasing the Maxx 2. I took it. Now I have a newer backup phone and I got twice what I was trying to sell my Moto X for. Sounds good to me. So far it a very nice mid ranger. I like the feel in the hand. It's performing just fine. Haven't had it long enough to gauge battery life yet but no doubt it will be better than my Galaxy S6.
Also noticed it's StageFright vulnerable out the box. No updates available yet. Hope Motorola doesn't decide not to update this phone like it decided on with the 2014 Moto X.
There's an option in Dev settings that says Allow OEM Unlocking Allow the bootloader to be unlocked. Don't know if that would allow for root soon on this phone.

That setting option sounds promising. Maybe this will catch the attention of the devs and help spur development of this phone.

Hello,
Can you please confirm that it would work on other networks including international networks out of the box?
I am considering this and 300$ trade in is very tempting, but I am concerned about it being able to support other networks.
Thanks in advance

I actually had a T-Mobile SIM card and tried it out. Coverage isn't great in my neighborhood but it did pickup Edge speeds. I'll test again at work tonight. I unfortunately won't be able to test other carriers as I don't have SIM from them.

Thank you for testing this out. So this phone is similar to all the other Verizon LTE phones; LTE works on band 4 for both AT&T and T-Mobile. Not widely used yet, but refarmed in certain areas.
2G(EDGE) and 3G shouldn't been an issue. Even HSPA+ might work.
Here are the frequencies for MAXX 2.
XT1565: VZW
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
CDMA (850, 1900 MHz)
4G LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 13, 20)
AT&T
3G : GSM 1900, 850
4G : 2, 4, 17
T-Mobile
3G : 1900, 1700/2100
4G : 2, 4, 12

so no 4g band 3 1800Mhz, right?

According to the Motorola product page:
Bands (by model)
XT1565: VZW
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
CDMA (850, 1900 MHz)
4G LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 13, 20)
So it should have LTE Band 3/7 support for international use.

Not getting LTE on T-Mobile

I purchased an unlocked S10+ from eBay (SM-G9750) that had an origin from Asia. It had the Snapdragon chipset so I thought it would be the same model, but I'm not getting 4G LTE on my phone. My carrier is T-Mobile.
After doing some research, I believe I don't have access to 2 networks bands (71 and another 16(?)). Is there anything I can do to, "fix" the phone so I can have LTE?

Try flashing the tmobile firmware.

Did you make sure the APN setting is set for tmobile?

I have the same phone and I'm getting 4G connectivity on T mobile. I'm in NYC and I'm connecting to bands 4, 5 and 12 typically. My speeds are significantly lower than my S7 because carrier aggregation is not enabled.
Are you in a rural area? I've heard that T mobile uses the 600mhz band 71 (which this phone is missing) for rural LTE coverage.

Type *#2263# in your dialer to see was which.bands your phone supports, I think it support T-Mobile. Also try *#77467# to pull up IMS settings and enable what you can under IMS Service Switch.

I had tried that yesterday, but got a, "Connection problem or invalid MMI code." I tried 77467 and I got the same error also.
Is there a setting I don't have enabled or need to change so I can use those codes?

Unfortunately not.. The T-Mobile CSC firmware is only available for the US models (G975U and G975U1).
G9750 is intended for South America, China and Hong Kong.
Although you only miss support for B71, so in theory LTE should work just fine since the G9750 supports other T-Mobile bands like Bands 2, 4 and 12.
Do you have another T-Mobile phone to test with to see if you get LTE in your area?

A new feature with the S10+ is that all the US carriers' firmware is embedded and automatically loaded up depending on the carrier SIM card inserted. What's the story on the SIM card you are using? I just swapped in the one from my Galaxy S7 and everything but carrier aggregation worked right out of the box (including WIFI calling, VoLTE and Samsung Pay). I suspect you may be able to fix this if you get a properly provisioned SIM.

Those codes don't work on mine either. *#0011# will let you see what 4G towers you are connecting to (run speed test app while you are looking). Signal spy or LTE discovery app are helpful too.

I don't know, these codes were working fine for me. Try this, download the Google dialer apk (Google the Google dialer port) and then use the code *#*#4636*#*#. You'll have to set it up as your main dialer app and enable permissions. Then try to see if you can configure it like my phone.

I've actually been with T-Mobile for a very long time and this sim is the same one I used in my HTC-M8, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S8 all of which had LTE, no problem.
I ran the Google speed test, and I'm consistently getting 10 - 15 MBPS. I'm not sure what it was before, but it's noticeably slower than my S8.
I will try getting the Google dialer and try a couple of the other codes mentioned. Thanks for all the suggestions thus far, everyone!
UPDATE:
Google Dialer didn't work either

Any update on this? I just bought a G975U1 unlocked, and my data seems to be very slow with exceptionally high latency. I was wondering if the problem was the lack of carrier aggregation, but that shouldn't cause high latency, should it? Any reason not to flash the carrier firmware? I'm a little confused on that, actually -- if the S10+ pre-loads the carrier firmware based on the sim, why wouldn't carrier aggregation be part of that?

I don't think the current "U" firmware brand switches and downloads the carrier firmwares.
