Samsung SM-N910T is LTE CAT 4 ONLY? Who is ready for Note 4?

According to this... (bottom) :
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4_id8577
And this:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-N910TZWETMB-specs
It seems only the international version is LTE CAT 6... I thought it was the opposite, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 was the LTE CAT 6...
Also, according to this...

The international octa core version should perfectly work on T-Mobile? With LTE and HSPA+ perfectly?
Because if the international version of the N4 this time works perfectly on T-Mobile, then there is no reason to buy the T-Mobile version... International version is Octa Core, plus LTE CAT 6 / 300mbps... Instead of Quad Core LTE CAT 4 / 150mbps...
-> The outcome of this post, will determine what I will buy...
Can someone confirm, or let me know correct information? Thanks...

On the International model your missing Band 2 , 4 , 12 for the lte bands. The specs are all over the place, on Samsung site Att, and Verizon show as CAT 6, and Tmobile shows CAT 4. Even though their all the Snap Dragon version.

All the Qualcomm models will support Cat6, but only the Exynos version in korea will support Cat6, there rest will be Cat4 or just 3g.

So, the T-Mobile version (SM-N910T) showing as CAT 4 should be an error?

Does the Korean Cat 6 version work with U.S. Cat 6? I'm really wanting the Exynos version, but also want LTE in the U.S.

There's a factory UICC unlock that comes on your Sprint/Boost factory firmware (Settings/System Updates). So you can UICC unlock for use outside the United States. You can also purchase a GSM unlocked variant from BestBuy if you plan on strictly using it outside the US.

So this means that I can use any of these variants (boost, sprint, boost mobile) on GSM network's but only outside USA?
Thanks

seems that way, and i dont think anyone is gonna crack the sprint based version as its a cheap phone and not worth the time and effort as opposed to getting a phone that is unlockable such as the verizon version of this same phone

btw, there is an app in development by idoneapps to unlock the Sprint Moto E 2015 version. Im testing it currently and ill report back with my findings. Idoneapps has been stellar in unlocking Samsung phones, and it seems that theyre venturing out into the realm of Moto phones!! hope may be on the horizon!!

still testing the app. Its a MSL reader as of now, but im sure more development will continue as idoneapps never ceases to amaze me with their work and skill

Yeah, but I have been beta testing an app for idoneapps recently that is showing some promise. The devs at idoneapps have yielded some seriously awesome results in the Samsung world, so I'm hopeful that the fruits of their labor will produce a dsufor the moto e 2105 as well. What I posted that you quoted was before I got the betas of the app. Keep your fingers crossed and I'll for sure post up when an unlock is available!

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 North America Users Experience Discussion

I am opening this thread with the intention of enabling a discussion among the North American users (current/prospective).
It appears that Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon variant) is the logical choice for north american user, as it includes few of the 4G bands.
So, how is the network experience with the major cell phone carriers? Which firmware/rom includes those bands? AOSP/Global/China? Does VOLTE work?
I have been using the RN3P for the last couple weeks. I am in the Florida area in T-Mobile network, and really happy to see that I get 4G LTE most of the time. It's the band 4 according to the LTE Discovery app.
I have tried a bunch of different roms, including global stable, aosp and developer beta. I have observed that the network is much better with the developer MM roms. I am currently using the Epic ROM based on the developer rom, and I think I shall use it as my daily driver.

Connected to LTE with Rogers and Koodo (Telus Band 4 AWS). I ordered the china model which shouldn't have included Band 4 (if you believe the information on all the china sellers sites), and confirmed it's not Kate model as it is only 150mm tall.

That's good to know. There are so many variants of this device, it's really confusing. I ordered mine from Gearbest last week, who knows when it will show up. The problem with these Chinese retailers is that sometime they themselves don't know what they have. I guess I have to see what I get. I just hope that mine also supports band 4, which T-mobile in USA also uses.
Are you still using China firmware? Does the china model come with Google Playstore?

http://willmyphonework.net/
most networks will work on the note 3 Snapdragon version (kenzo).
the Kate or aka Note 3 Special Edition model supports a additional 'band 20' which afaik is not used in the USA (someone confirm?)
the Mediatek note 3 Hennessy most likely doesn't have good usa network support
so make sure you get the kenzo or kate model, though I would stick with kenzo since the kate doesn't have as good of support or accessories

Mine came with Global 8.0.1.0 installed, prerooted, and unofficial bootloader unlock. I flashed official 8.0.1.0 global from tgz file, which then relocked the bootloader. I have done the official unlock with the same 8.0.1.0 official stable with no problems.
It came with Google Playstore, and some gapps (not all).

Anyone tried AOSP roms in north america? Does it also get the lte coverage?
I have heard privacy concerns from many people MIUI roms. May be rumors, may be not. But I don't wanna take the risk.
Can anyone compare the performance between MIUI and AOSP roms?

I have seen a video on youtube where he compared it with a iphone speed, and it got around 100mbps (the iphone beat it by a few mbps) , but it's definitely capable of fast speeds, though it probably depends on the network / bands, single strength and local isp speeds...

I have on hand experience with Umi Super. Which carrier you are on? With T-mobile Umi Super had really poor data connection. Barely got 3g, I couldn't even stream a YouTube video. I don't think it has any north american band. It's a decent phone for the price, but do your research first.

In Florida with T-Mobile network, using band 4.
I recommend changing the default apn settings to fast.t-mobile.com one, which better result for me.

LG V20 H990DS on AT&T

Hi,
I'm trying to confirm if and how well this unlocked model of the LG V20 will work on AT&T. I'm based in Austin TX. Some websites like frequency check say it's missing band 17, which is a problem for AT&T, but the Taiwan LG official listing shows it as having it and I've seen a couple of comments in forums of people saying it does and they use it on AT&T. There's also people saying not to get it for AT&T, so it's kind of confusing. Does anyone out there use this model on AT&T and can confirm that it will be issue free?
Thanks,
Steven

Wow, this forum kind of bites...

I have the. 990ds on att and I get lte. It will show up as 4g and how will show up as h or 3g.

That's good to know. Thanks for the reply. Any downsides? Does it suck to miss out on any of the stuff like voice over LTE?

I guess Cricket probably doesn't have that anyways. I'm just worried because I know it's missing like band 30 and maybe 17 that AT&T sometimes uses. I wonder if it could vary depending on area what bands are being used... What area are you in?

Cricket is going to be doing volte later this year. I do have a volte icon in my drop down menu too. When you power up thr phone from an off state, it takes a while like 15 seconds to get a data signal. Small issue, but it's the only one I've noticed.

Hi guys, I am sorry for reviving the old thread.
I too owned H990DS Sea version on latest nougat. It has volte option but just couldn't switch on without proper carrier configuration file.
Please take a look at this thread on LG G8
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ther-qualcomm-powered-lg-devices-too.4343655/
I tried on my H990DS using the above thread's method and it didn't work. I was informed that the mbn files are for LG G8. We need mbn files that are specific for LG V20. I have searched up and down and I couldn't find any.
So I hope that I have provided some insights and I hope any member/master/guru out there can help where to find the mbn file (collection of all international carriers mbn) and make volte works for H990DS.

fingers crossed. I'm in the same exact boat hoping the OP5 supports Freedom's new lte bands so i can switch!

If it's LTE band 66 then it sure will, I've seen all 34 bands it's listed as compatible with and this is one of them but there's not long till you can confirm that

There's been a lot of speculation based on this tweet going on:
https://twitter.com/oneplus/status/876469710916857856
It's rumored there might just be one international model - compatible with most current LTE bands. Would be awesome if LTE roaming was finally possible.

Yep I'm thinking the same about there just being one model as I've been lucky enough to see a little something which states 34 band compatibility and as it's launched today I'm sure there's no harm sharing:
FDD LTE:B1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,17,18,19,20,25,26,28,29,30,66
TDD-LTE:B38,39,40,41
TDS:B34,39
UMTS:B1,2,4,5,8
GSM:B2,3,5,8

There is one band that is conspicuously absent from that list....

Hi Folks,
Given these supported bands and Sprint's LTE is bands 25, 26, and 41, does this mean that OP5 will fully work with Google's Project Fi?
I've been waiting to move to Project Fi but not willing to pay for the Pixel.
Thanks!

Project Fi only fully works on the Nexus and Pixel line. Even if another phone supports the bands, you will only have access to T-Mobile.
