Device has Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, so it should work perfectly fine on LTE, has both 1700/2100, so HSPA/+ should be fine as well.

Hello everyone,
I have an SGH-i337 unlocked and I was wondering if it is possible to add the LTE Band 1800? It's the LTE Frequency of my carrier provider here in the philippines.
Can anyone help? Is this possible? I saw a video adding the AWS for access to T-Mobile's frequency but i'm not sure if it will help me connect to the LTE frequency listed above.
Thanks!
The AT&T (i337) only comes with LTE bands 1/4/7/17. You can't simply just add a frequency to a chip because it's hardware based. (i think)
I see, that's unfortnate if that's the case. So, what's the case of the t-mo AWS unlocking?
Do you know the exact model of the t-mo aws unlock? T-Mobile LTE bands are 1,2,4,5. And the i337 contains 2 of those bands.
Didn't the MF3 firmware update unlock the 1800 band? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

It unlocked band 2 and 5 if I remember correctly. Which is band 2 1900 and 5 being 850.

Ah. You are correct about 2 being 1900. Couldn't remember if it was 18 or 19

I'm very curious if the actual hardware is capable of it, and it's just a matter of getting it enabled.
thank you all so much for the replies.
I also have the feeling that the LTE Band 3 just needs to be unlocked in such a way the Bands 2 and 5 were unlocked. Hopefully this would be possible but I am losing hope.

The AT&T model doesn't have LTE band 3 so there is no way for it be unlocked. It's not part of the software, but part of the actual LTE chip that is on board. (hardware).

I also want to open LTE BANDS 3 1800MHZ
Hello,
I'm trying to make sense of the LTE frequencies, so maybe you can help.
The situation: I'd like to buy the phone and use it on AT&T LTE in the US, but -- very important -- also use it for data when traveling outside the US. Also, I'd like the ability switch providers in the US (that's why I'm not buying a subsidized phone from AT&T).
The question: The Note 4 model SM-N910W8 has more LTE frequencies than the model SM-N910A. I assume it means that the SM-N910W8 is more likely to perform well in foreign countries and on other US carriers. If so, that's a better purchase than AT&T model of the phone (SM-N910A). Is this correct?
The data:
According to GSM Arena, the "North American" model SM-N910W8 supports
LTE 700 / 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17)
According to Samsung website, the specialized AT&T version of the phone SM-N910A supports
2G GSM : 850/900/1800/1900;
3G WCDMA : Band I/Band II/Band V;
4G (LTE Cat 4 150/50Mbps) : B2 / B4 / B5 / B12 / B17
(the system won't allow me to provide links to the data sources, but PM me if you'd like them)
I was also confused about all the band stuff. I am on AT&T myself and I just purchased a note 4 sm-n910c. it is the exynos version (some people don't want that) but it supposedly works great with AT&T lte. The phone arrives on Wednesday soo I personally don't know. But I did alot of research before purchasing.
My current att branded note edge (i assume same as note 4) supports
4G FDD LTE: B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B17(700), B20(800);
And the 910c supports:
LTE 800 / 700 / 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600
(Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17, 20)
You may also want to look into the sm-n910u
Thanks! So according to the source below, a "band" is simply a range of radio frequencies. That's why there's an overlap between "radio frequencies" and "LTE bands".
radio-electronics.com/info/cellulartelecomms/lte-long-term-evolution/lte-frequency-spectrum.php
My impression is that the more frequencies a device has, the better it performs across carriers, when roaming. And of course, any carrier is better off selling a device that's customized to its own network, thereby making switching carriers more difficult. I guess that this is why the AT&T model has fewer frequencies than the non-AT&T model.
By the way, the seller of the SM-N910W8 assured me that the device is capable of the same LTE speeds at a SM-N910A.
Right every carrier uses specific bands of frequency. Some work on multiple carries. For instance the t-mobile note 4 work on ATT network.
I don't know much about the 910w8 but yes the more bands it supports the more universal it will be across carriers. Of course GSM phones will not work on CDMA networks like version and sprint

That's right. And my hunch is that carriers limit their branded phones (the subsidized phones they sell). This way, the phone will perform best only on their network. At least in the case of AT&T, I can't find another explantion why their branded phone (SM-N910A) supports fewer bands than a non-AT&T branded phone (like the SM-N910W8).
Does iPhone have these restrictions... Just curious

Yes, the iPhone is also frequency restricted. Manufacturers do it to help carriers (which are their big customers, not us retail customers). Carriers use the frequency restrictions to curb cross-border sales and limit your ability to switch to a competitor, even if you paid for your device.
Iphone 6 A1522 (GSM)
LTE (band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29)
Iphone 6 A1524 (CDMA):
FDD-LTE (band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29)
TD-LTE (band 38, 39, 40, 41)
(I found the data in "Galaxy Note4 Firmware - All Models")
The version that ends in W8 is the Latin American version. The T-Mobile version is compatible with most bands.
Att has locked boot loader, as well as vzw. If your into rooting and flashing custom Roms, stay away from those phone's.

Thanks! I didn't know that. So now the AT&T version (SM-N910A) is definitely off the table. It's down to two models. Both will support all of AT&T LTE bands, but one adds full support for European LTE and the other adds full support for T-Mobile US.
SM-N910C, which has Exynos CPU and supports 800 Mhz and 4G band 20, which one of the three bands common in Europe.
SM-N910W8, which has Snapdragon CPU and supports 4G band 12, which means full support for T-Mobile 4G.

Yes, the T-Mobile version (which I see is the one you one) has the same bands as the 910W8 and the same CPU. The advantage (for me) is that I can buy it from T-Mobile and receive warranty.
The T-Mobile version is the appropriate one for you, especially since you will receive warranty from Samsung USA.

The unlocked US 10 has support for the following:
4G LTE (up to 450Mbps)
FDD: Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 20, 28, 29, 30
While the Sprint variant has support for
B2 (1900 PCS) LTE
B4 (1700/2100 AWS 1) LTE
B5 (850) LTE
B7 (2600) LTE
B12 (700 ac) LTE
B13 (700 c) LTE
B25 (1900 +) LTE
B26 (850 +) LTE
B41 (TD 2500)
That could just be software restricted and if you unlcoked the sprint variant you might get band 3.

Sorry for the delay,
this will point you into the right direction: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/unlock-lte-bands-t3375736/page2
Basically as long as your Sprint and Android 7 you should not run into issues, only thing I could never get to work is WiFi Calling. Everything else is 100% spot on, I tested LTE bands here in Phoenix ,AZ (on AT&T)
If you get stuck or have any questions feel free to ask.

did you get your sprint htc 10 LTE band 3 working?
I was trying to enable it on friend's phone few months ago, but didnt work.
I dont have the device to test
Is this phone europe frequency friendly? Band 8 and band 20 to be exact for LTE? If not, any news of this coming in the European market?
Thanks in advance!
FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20) according to Asus tech specs (change Asus.com to India region and lookup the phone)

Does anyone knows Which version of Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 will be launched in India?
I think Version-A
Can anyone reply
Indian version is ZB601KL.
Indonesian version is ZB602KL (which you put the link on OP).
Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using XDA Labs
Edit: ZB601KL (Indian Version) is:
FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20)
TD-LTE (Band 40)
WCDMA (Bands 1, 5, 8)
GSM (Bands 2, 3, 5, 8)
Version A to answer your question.
sroy, thanks for reply. So this phone doesn't support Carrier Aggregation? Current indian owners, plz help in this regard as I am planning to purchase 6GB version. I am currently using Redmi Note 4x - 4GB version. I was a loyal customer of Xiaomi since 2013, but pathetic updates have ruined my experience of enjoying this phone & I believe Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 will be perfect replacement.
