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?

Hi xda forum guys.
It my first time writing here.
I recently bought Galaxy s4 from South Korea(skt). Not lte-a.
I am on Vodafone Australia and they provide LTE but I cannot get LTE...
I found out that the frequency of vodafone and skt are same.
When I go to hidden menu and go network settings and put on LTE ALL, it WORKs with LTE but It does not automatically changes to 3g and I can not use calls or answers. When its on automatic in hidden menu, i only can use 3g.
Please help me with this problem... I really want to solve it
Thanks guys looking forward to see some good information. Lol
I don't think the Korean version supports the Australian LTE frequencies..

Hi, I bought my note 3 in UAE and I am using it in the UK. I am on Vodafone. I always get rubbish signal in my house. It is on "emergency calls only" nearly all the time. Also the LTE/4G has NEVER worked since I got it on launch (Sep). Whenever I turn the 4G on the H+ sign never comes up. Some people may argue that Vodafone is a rubbish network. I agree too but I think I may need to flash a different modem? My model is a SM-9005. Do I need to flash a different modem to get the 4G to work? Thanks

You can actually try a different ROM or maybe a custom ROM? At the same time, reception might just be poor in your house. So you might need to make do with regular 3G or EDGE. I no for a fact that in my friend's house i ALWAYS have to switch to 2G because 3G reception is never available, I have SM-N900 tho.

And how about when you set it to HSPA only?
UAE's LTE bands won't work with Vodafone.

what if i flash a different rom/modem?
I just checked and vodafone operates 4G/LTE at 800MHz. On the samsung uae website it says that the note 3 supports 800MHz 4G/LTE
ROM's won't make a difference as it's the hardware on the device itself.
I also noticed the note 3 doesnt have a superb signal reception... For example in my house my moms s3 and dads s4 have full bars where i on my note have one bar less than they do. Little dissapointed

Check phone status in settings and compare it with the S3 and S4 - you'll see it's just the bar's that show different the dBm's are what counts. You'll see it'll be identical to the S3/4

The device itself has the bands. But you cannot access them by changing the modem. The N9005 supports many many bands but different MPN Codes on each device limit it to specific countries.
It's all a legal thing. Radio frequencies are controlled, unless the UAE version supports the exact same frequency that your UK carrier runs on it won't work. Upgrade to kitkat and test it.

Ok, so i ordered a SM-N910U from 28mobile.com, and they sent me a carrier branded SM-n910K, which by its specifications should work with Brazilian LTE (band 7 - 2600). However I am stuck on 3g. I was wondering if maybe the whole internet is wrong and this device doesnt support this band, or maybe its some sort of carrier lock. Also, how do i disable the awful branding, will flash a different firmware work and which do i flash?
Thanks

1) check frequencies that U model supports @ samsung website (its asian/hong kong, right? those miss some frequencieos)
2) check which frequencies are used for 4g by your brazilian telco.
3) compare.
if frequencies match, you might want to try:
1) getting a new sim that is surely 4g-capable
2) getting an iphone nano-sim. this is crazy, but for many users in russian forums that has solved 4g connectivity issues with one telco.
3) making sure your plan supports 4g
4) ensure you have 4g coverage.

Is the SM-N910U the same as the SM-N910K as far as LTE bands go? I dont get it, they are both supposed to support Band 7 - 2600MHZ, which is the one we have over here. What about flashing a different firmware? I've been trying with odin, to no success.
They do support that frequency so it's probably something to do with your sim card or carrier?
And 28mobile told me I was receiving one model only to get the k model like you. Wasn't happy. The updates for firmwares are slow

Well, I am on a LTE plan, tried 3 different sims already, they are all stuck on 3G...And all our carriers have the same band, which is 7...So it's not the sim or the carrier...its the phone. I bet that there's some sort of lock going on, since all roaming options are grayed out (the phone is not stuck on roaming, however). I am trying to flash any other model's firmware, like U, C and even S, but odin always fails when trying.

When you ordered the "U"-model, and got a branded "K"-model, I would complain to the shop you bought it and demand a swap to the model you ordered!
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...

So I picked up a Note 4 model SM-N910C which is the exynos octacore WITH LTE. I am using it with Tmobile USA in Chicago. I get horrible horrible LTE signal. At my apartment I get .53 dl and 3-4 Upld.
When I first got it I went to about phone and it had arab emirates firmware lollipop. Ive tried at least 2 others and still get crap signal. i had a similar issue with a phone before and I fixed the issue by getting into a secret menu and messing with the lte and prl settings. This phone will not let me do that though. Do I need to flash a different radio? What can I do? I am doing the KIES recovery/reset as I type.
I'm facing the same problem here. I have a SM-N910C from mexico but the original carrier, Telcel, didn't provide android 5.1.1 so I flashed a rom from another country. The problem is that now my signal is really bad, when I'm lucky I get two bars but most of the time is just one or none. I can still receive and make calls outdoors but I loose service as well as data almost inside any building. I was wondering if I can solve that with some configuration or reflashing the radio but I'm not sure.
Could please anyone provide some help and guidance?
Thanks!!
