Hey guys my buddy just got the Z3C and he has Lte places that i dont and i was wondering if theres a way to flash the Z3C radio on our fones? Maby someone that knows more about it could look into it...
What is LTE places? The Z1c supports LTE.

Which country do you live in?
Z3C has more frequency bands over the Z1C, so you can't just "flash" a hardware difference. The bands on Z1C should cover the whole of Europe though.
I am in US now. Ok so its a hardware thing? I thought some of that was software but i guess thats fine then.
I think you want this

There are some frequency capability differences, according to Phone Arena:

before you try flashing radios, you might want to try his apn settings. (make a record of your current ones first.)
Hi, if you are in the US now then your issue is more than likely LTE Band 17 which Z3 compact has and Z1 compact does not. Band 17 is used by AT&T in the US in many places. Band 17 is the 700 mghz frequency. AT&T also uses band 2, 4 and some places 5... But many places they only have 17 so you will have to reply on HSPA in those areas...
Many cities use a combination of 17 and 4 OR 17 and 2...so you will get some LTE service..
Hope that helps...

After checking *#2263# I can see there's 5 bands for 3G! 850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100!

So it should work on T-Mobile 3G with that WCDMA 1700/2100.
I dunno, I'm in HKG right now, I'll transit in US this Sunday and test it if its working the Tmobile 3G at 1700

No, there are a lot of info that Galaxy Note with LTE is not released yet and will be available exclusively for the korean market
yea, please let us know whether it works in the USA on Tmobile bands.
Question?
So does all the note possibly have the penta band as we are seeing in tocache's phone, or is it specific to the hong kong models? I think I also saw some who bought from the Netherlands also have this penta band...
Could those of you that purchased this phone from other places/countries check the service mode menu to see if this is the case with all the Gnotes? Thanks in advance!

Its been established (more or less) that the phone claims to support 1700/2100 AWS 3G in the service menu. The problem is getting the phone to actually connect to the network and not bork itself in the process.
Out of the box the phone does not work with T-mobile's 3G/HSPA+ network. It may be possible with a modified 'modem' but so far nobody has modified a Note specific modem to attempt to get it to work.
We also need to know what radio chipset the phone is using. It could be the SKY7706 or the SKY7704. The 7704 supports Tmo. The 7706 doesn't. We need a teardown or analysis of the modem (if possiblee) to determine what its using.
Does anyone have this unit? Has anyone got a SIM card to work in it? I know it is wifi-only. Just thought I would ask.
i have one also people claim they can activaite with t-mobile or att but not verizon or sprint

It won't ever work with your Sprint SIM because the H815 model is GSM only - and Sprint is CDMA

The answer used to be Sprint is CDMA not GSM so you have the wrong phone if I am correct. Sorry. But now that they have LTE....
LTE is the same functionally (not bands though) among carriers. You may need to call Sprint and see if they have some sort of blocking enabled for that device.

I am about to order one from ebay (h815). I'm not sure if that will work with tmo since it's missing the aws 1700/2100 3g band. Isn't that a necessary band for mms?
Also looks like it's missing lte 12 but doesn't matter since Chicago hasn't been approved for that band anyway and it'll be a while before that happens.

What are the differences between the F500 and the H815? Here in Australia, the F500 is approximately $100 more expensive than the H815 on eBay. Of course, it hasn't been released yet and I believe that, when it is released, it will cost around $900. ( -_-)
In Australia, if you're with Telstra and want the new 4GX network, you need the 815 or 815T. You need one that has 700MHz(B28) band, and it seems both of them do have this. If you're with Optus, the 815 is missing an LTE band and you'd be best going for the 815T.

I'm with the crappiest company; Vodafone. I didn't even know there were so many models of the G4. Thanks for that!
I don't use 4G/LTE. There's dodgy coverage in Perth and its suburbs (even just general 2G/3G) and I'm usually in reach of wifi.
I hope someone can make a list of all the models to make it easier to find the international model versus carrier models.
QD_AU on eBay are selling them for AU$799 - great price! It's the Taiwan version, the 815: http://stores.ebay.com.au/QD-Shopping-Centre/_i.html?_nkw=h815&submit=Search&_sid=138021041
They're a reputable store with lots of great feedback on places like Whirlpool.

Ah, yeah. I saw that. Not a bad price but why is the leather-back version the same price as the plastic cover one?
Is the F500 the international variant or the H815? Which one do you think will get the fastest updates? I really want to switch from my Nexus 5. With Google's new Photos app coming later today, I'd love to take photos on the G4 and upload them.

All righty. It does seem like the H815 is the international version.
I'll think about ordering it soon. I've already spent too much this month and I'm running out of money.
I really like this phone, but I'm put off by the missing band 20as 3uk uses it.
Is it still worth buying it?
Yes, do not have 4g in all parts of Holland but I mostly sit on Wifi so I do not bother.......
Phone is great in my opinion.

Says "maybe" with 3,in reality, having the phone I've no LTE. My Nexus 5 was on h+ most of the time anyway, so I'm happy with that. Getting 20mb down

Does the lack of certain lte bands noticeably affect day to day use? I bought a x720 model before realizing the differences. If it does matter, is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks.

If I am not mistaken the only band you are missing is 12 which should not matter much for the life of this phone unless I am mistaken. Look up if Tmobile uses 12 in your area.
I only have band 4 on my oneplus I think and it doesn't matter in Tampa.... other places it does.
So unless I ma mistaken this only affects futureproofing. Confirm you are only missing band 12 though.

Yeah it seems for tmobile the only missing band is band 12. I'm in California and it doesn't make too big a difference at all so I hope I can deal with it.
As you might know, the Mi 6 was announced today. The specs look great for the price (see http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/new-product/mobile-phone/xiaomi-mi6-news-release-date-price-features-specifications-3653263/) and I thought I finally found the phone I really wanted.
But then the old story hit me again. No support for LTE band 20. As I live in Germany this means no matter what provider I have, I will be affected with less LTE coverage.
So I created this thread to gather any news that involve the possibility and efforts of unlocking the LTE band 20 on the Mi 6.
I hope there are maybe similarities with the ongoing efforts of unlocking the bands of the Mi 5 (http://en.miui.com/thread-242834-1-1.html or here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/progress-trying-to-unlock-bands-t3337476).
When the Mi 6 is shipped, I hope this will get some attention and we may find a way to unlock it together. :fingers-crossed:
I have the Mi Note Pro and I never spotted anyone succeeding in unlocking band 20.
I live in France and band 20 is one of the 3 main bands but I never suffered any need for band 20. I even had a Sony Z5 premium which had all French bands and I had to switch to 3g because it wouldn't receive well when I am in bed.
Depending on your carrier if you have just another band and live in a city, not having band 20 is not a deal breaker in my humble opinion.
If you really need it I wouldn't wait for sure for a way to unlock band 20.
Mi6 can work with AT&T network?

Yes that is a valid point. As I live in Berlin I won't have any problems here. But since I travel around a lot for work countryside coverage would be a good benefit. But as you mentioned band 20 won't stop me from getting the Mi6.
This thread is just if anybody comes up with a good idea on how this could be done. Just as a 'bonus'.
The most active in unlocking lte bands are people in the OnePlus forum as far as I know.

It depends on power amplifier and rf modules. In some case it can be unlocked with software or hardware changing.
If somebody find which power amplifier and rf modul are used in mi6, let me known, i tell you if unlock possible.

You could say the same for Oneplus's global and China variant. They must have their reasons. I'm sure everyone, let alone, Xiaomi, know that they don't benefit for locking the bands. So, there's no point speculating on why and rather to just accept the obvious that it was not for the US market or any other country that It's not being sold officially.
