Galaxy Note II and Dual Sim

Hello,
Few weeks ago I saw on some website news and photos of a dual sim Galaxy Note 2. The market of the Dual sim is much more dynamic in Indian and china that's why the news said that this dual sim should be for china market and especially for China Unicom.
So would somebody have more consistent news about this dual sim : would it appear ? When ? Where ?
Best regards

Chinese market only

Hello, I already now but I did not see any confirmation if this news is fake or not.
Would it be SIM Unlocked in China, possibility to choose other language etc..

Hmm that would be interesting, especially if its the "international" one. I dont know what kind of cell service they use in china. Will it only work then in China or worldwide with standard GSM and 3G74G and so on?

I already a HTC Desire V bought in China (dual SIM) and it works perfectly in Europe in GSM and data. So from my point of view no difficulties in terms of compatibility.

And how can you determine if it's a real Samsung and no copy mb

Not sure to understand the meaning of your question :
First : the rumoiur and photos of the dual sim never been confirmed by Samsung
Second : if it is real and this dual SIM note 2 is released, don't worry I perfectly know where to buy an original one in China !

main thing you would look at online, is the price. if it's around 200USD it's a replica

I'm from Indonesia and I want a dual SIM NOTE 2 !
But hopefully it's going to be CDMA and GSM network dual sim. Similar to HTC desire VC. But it would be good if the phone is capable to register to 3G of each network (EVDO and HSPA).
Sadly, there's not much news of it now. Maybe they scrapped the idea because it's just too power hungry.

Dual sim Galaxy Note 2 have two different types of version. One from China Unicom, it support for WCDMA/GSM. The other one from China Telecom, it support for CDMA/GSM.It's release date in mid-October.

So, does it mean that the wcdma/china Unicom is not compatible with European network,and the CDMA/china telecom is ok,for,European network ?
Other question : do you have a Link to these informations ?

Rumor have the following models in China
N7102 for China Unicom, WCDMA + GSM, Dual SIM
N7108 for China Mobile, TD-SCDMA/GSM, Single SIM
N719 for China Telecom, CDMA2000 + GSM, Dual SIM

So the only one that should be compatible with Europe 3G should be the N7102 ?

Sadly, it doesn't look like there's one that supports both EVDO and HSPA at the same time.

Are this rumors confirmed yet? And what memory will they have. I am looking for the 32gb version

Unlock the LTE lock adout N9005 in CHINA?

I buy a Europe N9005 via Gray way, but I cann,t use LTE of CHINA UNICOM LTE inCHINA WUHAN
anybody could help me ?
i only know xda is a brilliant rorum:highfive: i hope i can solve my problem

So, did you check the provider's LTE frequency band against the ones the N9005 supports?
Because there's a 99.99% chance the two don't match. Which XDA can't fix. (We wish!)

:crying::crying:
MY Europe 9005 (32G) said it support LTEB1 B3 B5 B7 B8 B20 ALL
LTE of China Unicom is Band 1 /Band3 ,I think it should be supported. AND the 9005 of Hong kong, it could use in CHINA UNICOM'S LTE,
the 9005(TGY,16G) should be same with 9005(EUR,32G) in hardware
And many of Europe N9005 the IMEI will change if you flash new rom with odin ,IMEI will become 35750705000888 ,many people suffer that.
So i guess Samsung Lock the LTE because of religion place restrictions ,i guess

CHINA UNICOM said its TD-LTE is false, because goverment force them to use TDD-LTE , a lot of cities use FDD -LTE in fact .
CHINA UNICOM use TD-LTE band 41, FDD-LTE band 1 ,band 3 even band 7

So, what's the current situation in China ? I am at the same position; unlocked international version of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) and want to use it in China. Mysteriously, 4G seemed to work (??) with a China Mobile sim card when I tried in a mobile shop but sadly I didn't have the time or access to make sure and do comprehensive tests. I thought TDD-LTE was not supposed to be compatible. Could China Mobile have FDD-LTE in my region (Henan) ?

[Q] How to check 4G capability on Redmi Note 4G?

Hi
I have Xiaomi Note 4G (China Unicom version) but I am unable to use it on FDD1800 band on Zong 4G network in Pakistan. I have a 4G SIM that works perfectly with my LG G2 D802 and Huawei E5375 (CMCC).
On the box its written both LTE TDD and FDD and it does show 1800 band but when I force it to LTE-Only using Phone Testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*), it goes to no service.
Is there a way I can test the phones capability regarding LTE FDD1800?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Shoaib

I just got my redmi note 4g yesterday, And as ar as I can see, in the Upper left corner it writes "Carriername 4g". So that should indicate if it works.

Diferent version of redmi note 4g?
hello,
I'm thinking of buying the terminal , but I have a doubt
Viewing Page Xiaomi singapore , hongkong and taiwan offering a 4G LTE version band frequencies LTE 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 , but I see in different Chinese pages to buy it appears redmi note 4G LTE but only with frequencies LTE 1800/2100 .
Anyone know if there are two LTE versions as might ensure you have the frequencies that advertise in singapore, hongkong etc.
Thank you .

there are 2 versions of the phone. One that is domestic China 4G and then there is the export version that supports FDD-LTE/WCDMA/GSM. I am running a 4G version in Hong Kong and its fast. Not a huge diff from my Sammy Note 3. For the price its like giving it away. Only thing now is how reliable it is. Sammy is super reliable.

OnePlus Two LTE Bands unlocking

Hello!
I've bought a Chinese version of OP2 and it seems to be doesn't have Band 20 LTE support (800 MHz). :crying:
And I was wondering if it's possible to unlock the band like for OPO?

That's not known yet, but I've got my doubts.

I was scared as you after see that I bought the chinese version which doesn't have the 800mhz; but I checked on this site if my phone will work on the LTE of my carrier:
http://www.willmyphonework.net/
Fortunately it works. The real problem is that the chinese version, having only one IMEI, doesn't allow the use of dual sim outside of the China.
Hope your LTE works!

That's not true regarding the dual Sim, it works in standby mode and can be used when primary Sim is not in use (I know this as I have the Chinese version of the handset and I am using 2 Sim cards).

Yeah can confirm this is the same in Australia.

Yes I have LTE, I've checked before buying, but It still one of the Bands I would like to have (it works well inside the buildings).
And yes, bouth SIMs work in dual standby mode.

Has anyone tried using the same guide used in OnePlus One?

me too! I've also bought a chinese version of OP2 and I wanted to unlock band 20.

Also subscribing to the thread! I'm going another way: I have the American version and want to use it in Europe (Poland in particular, so I need band 3).
Has anyone tried the unlocking guides on OP2? Is it only a software issue or do the modems actually differ?

I haven't gotten them unlocked. I tried the opo method, denied. I'm using it on hspa+ and really can't tell any difference from LTE. Just my opinion.

I like use the band 800 in México LTE.
One person respond my question and the process to ONO no function.
Do you have information about other team/member working in this topic?

I followed the same procedure as oneplus two, but stuck on drivers installation.
Would be glad to have a solution on this.

I really need this I have messed up... I had to use a post forwarding service so I found a US one and I live in norway and got the US model.. I have asked if I can trade it for a EU one but they can't because of their policies.. Anyone know what band I need for it to work on LTE in Norway?

I think you can find something interesting reading information below:
With the OnePlus 2, we’ve taken some extra steps to ensure that our device works flawlessly in all the markets we support. A crucial component (no pun intended) is bands support. As you may be aware, LTE bands across the world differ significantly for various reasons (let’s talk about why that is some other time) and certain hardware restrictions make it so that you can only support so many bands in one device.
Thus, there is a trade-off between having all the bands and manufacturing complexity - the more bands you want to support, the more region-specific SKUs you have to create. We opted to make two different versions for two different regions - one EU/India, and one that we call North America. These are both OnePlus Global phones; they ship with Oxygen OS and the proper band support for your region. Besides those, there’s also the Chinese version that ships with Hydrogen OS and Chinese LTE support - this one is not available on oneplus.net (and is almost certainly the version you will get if you buy from anywhere else).
Here’s a breakdown of the differences (for EU/NA, bands in bold only available on that version):
Note that compatibility here refers to LTE, the fastest network currently available. The slower 2G/3G GSM frequencies (below referred to as GSM and WCDMA) are less fragmented and you should be able to get data almost worldwide with the included 2&3G bands regardless of the version. Use http://www.willmyphonework.net/ for easy reference.
EU/Asia
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/3/5/7/8/20
TDD-LTE: Bands 38/40/41
3 and 20 are used almost all over Europe, but not at all in North America. Band 8, although available in both versions, is used in Europe and India but is seeing increasing adoption worldwide.
North America
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/4/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/2/4/5/7/8/12/17
For NA, the removal of bands 3 & 20 allows us to add all the GSM bands you’ll need.
China
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
WCDMA: 1/2/5/8
TD-SCDMA: 34/39
TDD-LTE: 38/39/40/41
FDD-LTE: 1/3/7
The Chinese version will have very limited 4G compatibility in Europe and North America. More importantly, it only has one IMEI meaning you will not have dual-SIM capability outside of China. If you like having dual SIMs, do not buy the Chinese version.

Here is procedures to unlock LTE bands in Xiaomi Mi Note Pro. Both mobiles (Xioami and OP2) built same processor so maybe this method is for us. I did not tried it yet.

S7 Edge in Hong Kong Snapdragon or Exynos

Hi,
It seems i have to buy the phone in Hong Kong to use the TDD LTE network from China mobile.
Does anybody know, what version of the S7 edge is sold in Hong Kong, is it Snapdragon or Exynos?
How can i check the difference before i buy the phone? Do They have different version numbers marked on the packaging?
Thanks!

Does anybody know, what version of the S7 edge is sold in Hong Kong, is it Snapdragon or Exynos? Snapdragon 820 (G9350)
How can i check the difference before i buy the phone? Just check the packaging
Do They have different version numbers marked on the packaging? Just G9350

Last year when I was still living in HK (and traveling between the US & Bangkok) I had the option to get the S6 Edge in any of the 3 locations. I chose the G9250 version simply for the wider LTE band coverage. It was a mistake. True that I could use it anywhere I traveled to, I failed to realize that in each place, with a local SIM, you'll have to be subscribed/registered (or whatever you call it) to LTE, otherwise you'll be connected to at most HSPA+ - rendering all those LTE bands a moot point. What I was deprived of, as a result, was the lack of development support. I was so itching to root the phone and ticker the hell out of it but decided just to leave it as stock - even until now.
1 year latter, along came the S7 and the exact same choice. This time it was easy and there was absolutely no doubt, I went with the international Exynos version - 935FD (silver) and never looked back. And yes, I rooted, TWRPed, Xposed, but still on stock ROM. I am having fun with my phone again
Do yourself a big favor and pass on the HK/Chinese 820 SD version - especially if you want root and beyond.

Yea, that why i asked the question, i will only buy the phone if i am able to root it.
My main problem is that i mostly stay in China and China mobile has TDD LTE, i don't know if the international version of the S7 edge can use LTE.
Does anyone know if the international version works with china mobile?

I don't think even the SD820 935F version can be rooted yet, you'll probably have to wait even longer for the 9350.
So now you have a dilemma: Get the rootable 935F/FD and not be compatible with China Mobile's LTE TDD bands 38, 39, 40, 41 - OR - Get the 9350 and not being able to root.
Remember that you can easily switch to "China Telecom or China Unicom" both of which uses LTE bands 1,3,5 and 3 respectively.
You can also still get 2G/2.5G on China Mobile with the 935F/FD

Hello,
I know this is a year old but I just came across this whilst researching for the S8. Just to add, I have the 935F from the UK and it works fine on 4G on China Mobile, not restricted to 2G/2.5G at all.
