[Q] Letter variants at the end of model number? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi just a quick one. looking at buying s5 off ebay. And the main model I can get is the G900h. But my friends is g900f. I'm in the uk and he got his on release day. What's the difference ? Anything to be concerned about?
Thanks for all help I get

I would recommend you to get the G900F variant. It has LTE, the H only has 3G. It's for markets where LTE is not generally available.

n910k 2g only on o2, no LTE

Hi all
I managed to get ahold of an n910k note 4 but for some reason it doesn't seem to get LTE on the o2 network.
I am guessing it has something to do with band settings or maybe the modem, is there any way to change which frequency is being used so I can pickup LTE ?
thank you all
O2 onlu use 4G in 800MHz and the Korean version doesn't have this band...
You should have checked this before buying the phone.
Damn, there is no way to add it? Maybe someone could send me a different modem?

[Q] Does the international version Note 4 (N910f) support LTE in the US?

Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of getting the international version of the Note 4 (N910f), I'm currently in Mexico studying but I'm planning to go back to the US when I finish. I would like to know if someone that has the international version of the Note 4 has LTE working in the US or if there is a workaround on how to make it work.
Thanks in advance!
It works as long as your service provider has LTE on the bands listed for the phone

It doesn't work for me. I use T-Mobile, which has LTE, and I cannot get it. I get HDSP+ (or whatever it's called). I called T-Mobile about it and they told me that since the phone is not branded T-Mobile they won't give me LTE access. Pain pain
International SM-910C has LTE (I'm on an ATT mvno, Consumer Cellular). Exynos processor. Available through eBay...

[Q] SM-G900H no LTE option

Hi,
I'm new on here so I'm not sure if anyone can help. I have looked around other threads but have not found the solution for this specific model. I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900H through Amazon.co.uk last year assuming this would support 4G. However, I'm now just finding out that this might not be the case. As shown in the screenshot below, I don't have the LTE option in the Network Mode menu. I called my provider Three.co.uk and they said to do a factory reset (which I did) and then they said to update to Android 5.0 (which I did) but still no luck.
I prefer not to root the device and break the warranty but I will if there is no choice. I have also attached a screenshot with the details of the build number / kernel etc.
Please bear in mind that I am not very experienced at this so please explain what I have to do in plain English.........
Thanks so much!!!!!!!
@jeroenmw g900H doesnt support lte/4g
I have SM-G900H model and it doesn't have 4G LTE.
You can check its specifications online.
Just google model name!
So even rooting the device will not work?

No, it 'll not work even after rooting...
Because its not in hardware!
Get SM-G900F model if u want to use 4G/LTE
The SM-G900H is the variant of Samsung Galaxy S5 that is built using the in-house eXynos Octocore system chip. This variant does not have hardware support for 4G LTE networking.
For 4G LTE support you need one if the Galaxy S5 variants based on the Qualcomm Quad core system chip. Only the Qualcomm-based handsets have hardware support for 4G LTE.
If you have the option to return your phone for a refund I suggest you do that and get one of the other variants (preferably the SM-G900F for the UK). One of those should work with your carrier's LTE support.
How to use 4g in Galaxy S5 sm g900h??? Please help me
I am with a SM-G900H, and it have a 4G sign on the back cover, how it not have 4g ?

[Q] S5 buying advice

Hello
I am from India and I've been trying to purchase a Galaxy S5 from ebay. There is one available with a trusted seller with a good price but the model is S5 Duos and model number is G900FD. I know Indian versions are supposed to be G900I. So my question is this: Will the same custom ROMs for Galaxy S5 work with Galaxy S5 duos? or is there a slight change in the source files that makes it incompatible with s5 roms and leave me at the mercy of Touchwiz forever?

DID u buy the phone? id yes how is your experience with it , please share.
No they aren't compatible. You could flash the custom roms but you won't have network signal after. Though there are a number of custom roms for the dual aim variant if you want.

Hello, If you dislike touchwiz you can still install a alternative launcher. I did not try on the GS5 but I had a GS3 before and I succefully replace touchwiz by Apex launcher. Once the alternate launcher is started you can still kill samsung one.
Has anyone bought this, I wanted to know the performance and battery backup
Sent from my SM-G900H using XDA Free mobile app
I ended buying G900F the European version, even though I'm in India. The phone performance is fine, benchmarks as per reviews. And it came with Lollipop which added some features that they havent advertised before such as 4K video recording. Getting regular OTA once per 1-2 months on average. Can't say anything about the dual sim version because I didnt buy it...

From where did you buy it, I am also looking good this one only bit since it is not available thinking to get the dual SIM
Also what is the battery backup you get on lollipop...
Sent from my SM-G900H using XDA Free mobile app
Was hard to obtain actually. Got it from ebay finally but its a version without warranty becuase technically its smuggled. As for battery backup, it loses 10-20% over a day without using 3g/wifi, 40-60% over a day while using either of them. The screen is absolutely brilliant.
I am also thinking of getting it from eBay which seller did u buy it from and how's the screen on time you get with it
I am returning my G900H to flipkart and would get refund, I am thinking to either get this or Xiaomi MI4

What is the difference between the T725 LTE and the T727 LTE?

I was looking to purchase a unbranded LTE capable Tab 5e and found that there was an T725 and a T727 Model. Looked on the Samsung website but they onlyrefer the the Tab LTE. I googled but no answer. i wonder if one is the US version and the other the international version. Anyone know?

If by "unbranded" you mean one not locked to a carrier, then you want the T725. Anything else will be locked to a carrier.
Yes. I have the Verizon Tab S5e which is SM-T727V.
The T727 isn't just in the US. I found a Turkish variant of the 727.
I can't seem to find a definitive answer as to what the differences are between the 725 and 727 though.

I don't know if this will help anyone looking at the issue in the future, but I got the LTE variant from Vodafone in the UK, and it is the SM-T725. There is no network lock.
