[Q] Does VZW note 3 support Band 3 LTE rooted

I enabled the service mode on Verizon note 3. There is a setting to choose different LTE bands including band 3 1800Mhz. But I cannot find a way to turn band 3. Does VZW note 3 SM N900v have a band 3 modem though it is on the service mode. Please help...:good:

same qustion can someone help please ?

To my understanding the Verizon version only supports LTE bands 750 and 1700

Only band 4 and 13

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!)

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] no 4G in China

My Samsung Note 4 N910C had great performance under all 5 operators when I was in Hong Kong, with unbelievable 4G speeds...
Now I am in China, using a 4G enabled SIM card from China Unicom and the icon on the top bar only shows H+.
By contrast my iPhone 6 and my LG G3 show 4G, both of them. Under the same conditions, same network (China Unicom) and same 4G SIM card
I asked China Unicom: they run a 4G FD LTE network, in 1800MHz band. So what could be the culprit? Are we sure that Samsung SM-N910C covers the FD LTE 1800MHz band?
(LG G3 and iPhone 6 plus do for sure since I get the 4G icon on top bar)
Thank you and waiting.

OTA routine updates + Phone call recording
I have other 2 questions
I wish to root my device: (using chaifire Auto-CF method).
1. OTA routine updates
What will happen when I make an official OTA monthly upgrade, from Samsung? Will I get the device bricked? Will I lose rooting?
2. Phone call recording.
For many reasons I wish to avoid to flash a custom rom. How then can I get the capability of "phone call recording" during a phone call? I have this feature with my NON rooted MIUI M3 device...running android 4.4.2. Are out there any apk to install or special mods?
I am not asking about privacy concerns or the legality of phone recording, I just wish to know if that function is feasible without flashing a custom ROM.
Thank you
Saulo

As far as I know china mobile runs FDD band 3 (1800) and band 7 (2600) ONLY in Hong Kong. All other parts of China using TDD. As far as 910C I can assure you it has band 3 (1800) because vodafon qatar uses that band.

I am using China Unicom, not China Mobile, but, yes, both carriers are currently sharing the TDD LTE network
So we have to admit that LG G3 has both FDD LTE and TDD LTE? Otherwise why my LG G3 shows a 4GB icon on top bar? Of course I am using the same 4G enabled China Unicom SIM card

The 910G should work in china as it supports TDD bands

Really strange as both your 910c and the Unicom 9106w both list B3 (1800) in their specs so it should work.
Any way to get into the settings and force LTE only? Do the APNs look OK?

Dear Kinghu
How to force LTE? In settings I only see
WCDMA only
WCDMA/GSM
GSM only
2.
In Hong Kong I saw 4G icon. But at that time I did NOT check in settings, Anyway the speed was so good! I downloaded an entire movie is less than 6 mins. Incredibly fast. Here I am back to average speeds.

I just bought a 4G china unicom sim card and receive H+ as the symbol.
I called Unicom and asked them why and the guy told me that iphone symbols show 4G but android and some other devices may show H+ but it's still 4G speeds..
Is that even possible? My HTC One can use 4G but it's showing H+, I didn't think H+ could be shown if it actually uses FDD-LTE..

[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.

s5 verizon lte band 3

Hi there. Can someone help me please to get a lte connection on band 3 s5 verizon g900v. It connects on band 3 but i got no signal. Here is a screenshot with details on attachement. What may cause service: limited ?

I'm not sure why you want band 3. I think Verizon uses 4 and 13 and blocks 3. 3 is widely a universal band which I think they purposely block.
To unlock all the bands try this. Go to UE Settings/Settings/Protocol/NAS/Network Control/Band Selection and select LTE all bands.

I want band 3 because im using the phone in europe and the lte band of carrier is 3. If i unlock all lte band its still trying to connect on band 3 on others has no service.

Then follow the instructions above and select LTE/WCDMA. That will unlock all the bands supported by the Qualcomm chip.

Selected all lte bands. Then network mode lte/wcdma. And still no 4G just H+.
