Does i9505 works on Bell LTE nework???????:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
here is the spec from Samsung HK website: LTE (800/850/900/1800/2100/2600)
please help...........................i want to get i9505 instead of the Canadian version is because it can flash Google rom later...

First of all, it's already confirmed that the CDN and US GS4 for GSM/HSPA/LTE carriers already supports flashing the Google ROM.
Second, it would support the 2600 MHz coverage on Bell and Rogers, but Bell has only limited zones for 2600 LTE.
I just moved to Vancouver with my i9505.. Could you please tell me which carries support it? Other than Rogers, Telus and Bell.. they seem to be very expensive

Um what do you mean "other than" Rogers, Telus, and Bell? Those are the major carriers. Their sub-brands Fido, Koodo, Virgin (and Telus MVNO PC Mobile) are marginally cheaper.
The device is not expected to be compatible with WIND or Mobilicity.
Wow its been a long time since I've been here! I see all of you are still busy!
... so basically, I'm going to buy an S4, but I'm not sure WHICH I should buy ... and I'm not sure where I should put this question since all the models are spread all over the place, but since I'm in Canada I thought this place would be a good start :laugh:
So basically, from what I've seen, the AT&T (i337) model is quite limited in out-the-box bands, and also has a locked bootloader. From what I've come up with, digging through information about all the models and Canadian carriers, is that the two best models for use in Canada seem to be the I337M and the T-Mobile M919 ... I really wanted a Samsung branded phone, but it seems if I get the I9505 I'll be missing out on a whole bunch of radio bands ... from what I've seen however, the unlocked I337M has no branding on it though ...
So basically what I've come up with is that both the T-Mobile M919 and the Canadian I337M both have unlocked bootloaders ... and they all run on the same GSM freq.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here, but, it looks to me like both the M919 and the I337M also share the same LTE bands, which are LTE 700MHz (Band 17) / 850MHz (Band 5) / 1900MHz (Band 2) / 2100MHz (Band 1) / AWS (Band 4) / 2600MHz (Band 7)
(my sources are http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-M919ZKATMB-specs and http://www.pdaplaza.ca/products/Samsung-Galaxy-S4-SGH%2dI337M-16GB--Black-Mist,-Unlocked.html - I can't seem to find a reliable source for the LTE bands the I337M has ... on samsungs website it has a * Dependent on market and nobody seems to list straight up specs for the I337M ... actually it lists a completely different set of LTE bands which I'm pretty sure is wrong ... they list 1800 instead of 1700 and 800 instead of 700 which I know is incorrect for Rogers at least)
It looks to me, like the only real difference between the I337M and the M919 is that the M919 has a AWS (1700) 3G radio band, and the I337M has a 900mhz 3G radio band instead of the AWS band ... however, I ALSO have read that the AWS band on the I337M can be enabled (again, correct me if I'm wrong!)
If everything that I have read through is correct, it would seem to me like the I337M would be the 'ultimate' North American model, supporting more frequency bands than any other version (besides maybe the i9505 which lacks some bands I would probably need) ... unless its actually possible to somehow unlock all these bands on every version, and I just didn't get that deep into reading about hacking these phones yet ...
If I got something wrong here please let me know ... I would like to buy one soon and start flashing it
Thanks!
Lets put it an easy way, if I had the choice again, I would have not got the att galaxy s4 us version, I would have got the Canadian S4 i337m. My opinion only.
Or the Google Edition but its going to run you like 700-800$

If you're in Canada why not buy the i337m?
My i337M is completely unbranded once I installed a custom ROM and I managed to enable the AWS. Unlocking it has been a different story though :/
Well ... I just want the phone that has the most bands (its not really a cheap phone!), I'd like to get as much as I can for my money. I honestly have no idea if all the North American models have the same radio hardware or not, but at least on Samsungs website, they list the I337 (AT&T) with many less bands than the T-Mobile M919.
Funny enough, on Rogers website it lists the I337M only having 2100/2600 as the LTE bands, but on Bell/Telus it lits the I337M as having 700MHz/ 850MHz/1900MHz/2100MHz/AWS/2600MHz
It seems silly to me to actually manufacture different radio hardware for all the different North American models ... considering they almost all use the same bands except some exclude some, and there is one different one (3G AWS on M919 vs 900Mhz 3G on I337M)
I wouldn't get the AT&T US version ... as far as I know nobody has been able to unlock the bootloader. But apparently the M919 isn't locked.
I considered the Google Edition, but as someone said, it will run 700-800 (and you can't 'officially' get it in Canada)
Anyways, I found an unlocked I337M and I believe it is also unbranded ... so I bought it. If its not, I'll just flash it
I still am curious as to what they actually do with the radios though ... if they actually use different hardware or just lock the bands in the firmware (I'll take a guess the international I9505 actually has different hardware, though)
I think it would cost Samsung more to design different radio hardware for all the different North American providers (considering they almost all run the same/lots of overlapping bands) than just putting firmware locks?

I337m has all the radio bands, handles the lowest CPU voltages while still being stable... has an unlocked bootloader, and simply kicks butt.
Simple modem firmware flash fixes any location specific, and in my case, non-existant radio band issue.

Hey fam i was wondering if anyone can help me in locating the SM-P605M model. Am interested in this model be cause of the 700MHz LTE frequency cause this is what my country uses.thanks in advance:good:
It's a sud american model. Brasil.

Every German Shop has it, Amazon included.

If anyone on AT&T gets a P-605M please post your results. I'd sell my P-601 and get a P-605M if it in fact supports AT&T's LTE bands. "700MHz" is a pretty broad swath as it's used by both VZW and AT&T. AT&T's specific 700MHz band is "17" while VZW's is "7." So 700MHz doesn't guarantee compatibility with AT&T. The difference in 700 MHz bands is why VZW and AT&T devices can't be used across their respective networks.
anyone out there who can help please do.
help please! Does anyone know which version samsung s5 works in s. korea and in US? any provider is fine.. (verizon, att, tmobile)
I am not very familiar with bandwidth and cell receptions. any contribution will be appreciated:good::good:
I brought my S5 from Korea to the U.S. From what I remember of my research it all depends on the carriers you want to use here and in Korea. I have T-mobile in the states and used a 900L variant through LG U+ in Korea. The bands available in this phone allows me to get perfect LTE in Korea. However, since bringing it back in the states I only get partial coverage. I am only able to get 3G. It's not ideal in my situation, but I am not worried about it. I recommend trying to figure out the available variants in Korea and the US and see which bands overlap the most.
Hi everyone!
I am planning to buy a Samsung Galaxy s8 from us Celular model number sm-g950U but even if I've read that all models us models are the same, I'm not sure if this phone (which is factory unlocked gsm) would work with different carrier LTE bands like at&t or t mobile.
Could anyone please advise??
Thanks in advance!
All north American s8/s8+ are the same, yes. Provided they are unlocked they will work on, and can even be easily branded as any major us carrier.
If it's a g950u it's unlocked.
