Just curious but why isn't there a section for the US Cellular based Note 2? Where should talk of their variant be on xda?
My thoughts exactly verizon has its own thread and its not even been released yet. Ive had my note 2 for a week now and cant find squat for it.
I am willing to purchase a 64GB Note 3. I see that Spring has it. It is NOT the international version (N9005), it is instead N9006.
I have the fillowing questions:
1. Has anyone purchased it? Does it really exist? (I am NOT in USA now, so I cannot go to a physical Sprint shop).
Does it really have 64GB internal memory?
2. What are the difference between N9005 and N9006?
3. Can I unlock it to use it overseas (in Europe)?
Thank you
Saulo
I would also like to know if this N9006 64GB Samsung Note 3 from Sprint can be unlocked paying the usual $55 fee. Or does one need to puechase a 3 years plan?
Thank you
Saulo
Is the Sprint N9006 Note 3 a CDMA + LTE3 version? I mean won't it work on GSM network?
When I travel in a country with NO LTE and GSM, won't it work as it is a CDMA phone?
Thank you and waiting.
can somebody point me to a useful page with the hardware differences among different Note 3 types?
2. Here in China they have rooled out a TD-LTE type of 4G: is a Note 3 purchased in US or Canada be able to llink to the local TD LTE?
Thank you
Saulo
I recently became the proud new owner of a SM-900A NC2 note 3. I had a galaxy mega that broke, and my insurance plan replaced it with the note 3. I was actually excited at first. I had been somewhat regretting my choice and wishing I had gone with the note 3 to begin with. But then I discovered that there is no root option for the NC2 update. Nothing. The same was true of my galaxy mega for a long time (SGH-I527). With both of these devices, I noticed that some models were easily rooted/modded, and others (mine) took ages to get a functioning root.
My plan is to be an early adopter of the Note 4 when it's released in September. I don't want to be caught in the same situation where I own one of the models that is very difficult to hack. I want to buy the most open model that can be used on the AT&T network with LTE (Samsung seems keen to release developer editions for verizon, but not with LTE).
Right now, the most open model of the Note 3 seems to be N9005. I'm not going to outright buy a new note 3 that I plan on replacing in 3 months. But when that time comes, are there some rules of thumb that I should know about to choose the most open model? From my limited experience, I've learned that buying through AT&T is a recipe for slavery. But, there are many non-AT&T options.
So, what's the best choice? an International model? A different LTE carrier's model unlocked? Or, is it too early to tell?
Thanks for the help,
Michael

Thanks, but I don't plan on re-purchasing the note 3. Do you think the same will be true of the Note 4? Assuming there's no LTE developer edition, will the international version provide the best chance at freedom? Is it too early to speculate?

As long as you get the qualcomm version you'll be fine i guess
Isnt it just that the n9005 is more common.
So theres more people playing around with it and ending up with solutions?
And yeah Samsung's attitude against customizing are terrible.
The Note3 will be my last Samsung electronic(s) b.t.w.

n9005 is the most common and powerful , here in kuwait the stupid exynos version not even released cause people tired of it laggy and fake octa core and no one fancy owning 3g phone anymore
I bought a RedMi 2S from Hong Kong and brought it back to US. Installed an AT&T sim and got "No Service". Can someone confirm that the 2S will or will not work with AT&T?
Thank you

There's no "RedMi 2S".
There's Xiaomi RedMi 2,
and Xiaomi Mi2S (and also Xiaomi Mi2).
Now, you have to see what network bands supports your phone (on specs that you can find on internet) and what are the bands on which AT&T trasmit.
Hello,
I currently have a chinese model OnePlus 2 but wanted to know if there was anyway to get LTE working on this thing for AT&T. Any help is much appreciated
No. Doesn't have the bands. Have to get the global version sold on one plus site.
