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.

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.

Hey everyone quick question. If a T-mobile customer in the U.S. were to order an unlocked magic branded with the Vodafone logo, could they still update the phone and such when the U.S. version hits in July. Say that U.S. T-mobile has sent out an update for their phone, could the person who has the Vodafone version update as well? I am debating about ordering an unlocked magic from Timtechs.com to use here in the U.S. and was wondering what were the possible drawbacks, besides 3G, that I may face.
For the same price (or less actually) as the vodaphone imports you can get one of the Google ION phones off of ebay if you're looking for something a little more interesting.
It supports the american 3G bands as well. I paid 589 for mine.
I have debated on ordering one, but am afraid of possibly receiving just a box lol. Actually the area of texas i live at doesn't have 3G yet, I am always running the E - EDGE network so it really doesn't bother me.

Well, would it be the same version that the U.S. should be getting? if i could find a good canadian website that would ship to the U.S. I may be looking into this lol.
I just received a Vodaphone HTC Magic version and I got the phone to work nicely on AT&T with the APN info. But, 3G does not work. It only shows EDGE. Does anyone know how to get the 3G to work? Or, is there a ROM that I can flash to?

No since it has different 3G radio.
Rogers version will work since it has the same 3G bands as AT&T (850 and 1900).
Hey, wait....so since it has the same bands as AT&T...would that be the same as T-Mobile? Any one know a good canadian retailer who ships to the U.S.?
Anyone using an unlocked Omnia 7 in the US? If so, where did you purchase yours from? Any problems, comments, or concerns?
Bought from Expansys and used in the US for a bout one week on T-mobile.
No problems, worked great.
Bought it from there as well. Used it in Canada, and now in the Middle East. The box came opened though, probably to unlock it.
Beauty of Samsung is that when you boot up it asks what language you want it in. My packaging was French, and so were the manuals, so it was great I got to choose English from the very beginning.
My package was Portuguese, box came sealed but was opened to put an EU to US plug for the transformer which was EU.
Very cool. 3G Data hasn't been a problem for you guys?
I've been trying to find one used, for a resonable price, but they are a bit tough to find.
Anyone else using one in the US? No data problems?
Does the 3G work ok? And how's the data?
I'm thinking of buying this device to use on T-Mobile (USA).

Tested 3G and Edge, both worked great. T-mobile is the only network you can use due to the Omnia 7 EU Frequencies.
Device in general is very good, very robust. Only problem for me is MMS as there is no place for manual MMS configuration andf the Omnia 7 tries getting the configuration based on the SIM card.... Which did not work for me.

I literally just had someone in California pop a T-Mobile SIM into a mint unlocked one and no 3G. I just can't justify spending this kind of cash on an EDGE only device. Way to much disparity in 3G reports across the US. Some places it seems to work, others not. MMS isn't a problem for me, I really need the 3G.
I'm told the build quality is substantially better than the Focus. And the overall feel of the Mobile is quite enjoyable. I'd really love to have a SA display, running WP7, on T-Mobile. This HD7 screen is killing my eye's.
So there's conflicting reports on the 3G then. Some people in the US and Canada have had success with it, others haven't... Hmm... 3G is a must if I'm going to shell $700 on a mobile device.
It's a shame that I'm not entirely satisfied with my HD7.

Nope, there is a 16GB model also. Both me and the wife has one
Costs $565.00 + shipping (and possibly taxes/customs fees when entering the US), but IMO well worth the extra cost compared to the 8GB model currently available on eBay in the US.

Don't have any links, but can hook you up. This is pretty much cost-price from the dealer. Come with a T-Mobile ROM, although un-branded hardware, they are also SIM unlocked.
Sorry, haven't been back yet, so can't comment on how they work in the US, other than having read a lot of people using them with both 3G and HSDPA. Seems to depend on carrier and city.
okay so when I bought my note 3 this article here, or review I should say, was very helpful. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/review/..._dp_cr?cursor=1&qid=1399409475&sort=rd&sr=8-2
the only thing is, I can't seem to figure out which note 4 model to buy now. if it helps any I live in USA Texas and I'm going to be using my phone on Net10 I would like to get 4G LTE and I'd rather have the Snapdragon model but the Exynos model is ok too. I just want to know which model would work best with the provider I'm going to use and get 4G LTE and also maybe not have so much bloatware. It HAS to be unlocked. Is there a USA unlocked version? What should I do... I'm really good with technology and phones don't get me wrong, but Samsung model numbers and figuring out what's what confuses the crap out of me!
all the unlocked models I found are either not compatible with USA bands or just that I'm worried because they're always European or Arab version phones and I'm just worried about getting one that's from some other country and that it won't function properly. Halp meh plzz?!

I posted this in the general section, but then I found this specific V20 area and hopefully you guys will be far more knowledgeable than I am.
I'm on an EE contract in England. the LG V20 is the phone I want to buy but it's not released here in the UK (ebay seems the only option and the closest).
It's got Nougat but it will eventually have updates. the LG V20 does not seem to be scheduled for release in the UK. How, if possible, can I update the phone's Android since my network does not stock that phone?
And it will work on 4G in the UK too?
Thank you for the help, I'm a novice Android user.
Cause you can update as and when available by the manufacturer if it's unlocked.

I would venture you can update manually with whatever lg uses to flash stock firmware or it will find an update over wifi.

I have an F800 Korean version using it on Vodafone. All 4G bands are supported. The only one missing is the 900MHz HSDPA band. Video calling works just fine. The downside is that you get the operator bloatware and is not easy to get rid of it.
P.S. Check the 4G(LTE) bands of your operator before buying. For example the Korean version you won't get 4G on O2.

Hi all. Bit late to this chat but I've just bought an LG V20 online and am a little worried as LG themselves are telling me that I won't be able to connect to the 4G network at all as the frequencies are different. However the frequencies available on the specifications of the phone DO match the frequencies used by EE for 4G in the UK; are the LG operatives confused? Do your V20s work okay on the UK's 4G ? Thanks in advance
I'm also in the UK and I've had my H990ds Taiwan variant for 4 days.

Offtop 2: you can enter Engineering Menu and control (check/uncheck) all the bands in G600S/K/L by pressing 5457#*600# in stock dialer.

But this doesn't necessarily mean B12 will work on T-Mobile if that version isn't certified. No b66 also. Does TMO have that live anywhere?

Correct!
But it's the only way to get G6 much earlier than official US launch. No wireless charging, but Quad DAC onboard & 64gigs instead of 32 as bonus.

LTE (easy), not VoLTE (hard). Can you generally change firmware easily on LG devices? Also the vid doesnt confirm B12. Need LTE Discovery for that.

I know a method to enable volte in LG international models for any carrier ( needs root ). May be it will work for other models too.
