Difference between 2 / Pro / Prime - Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers

GSMArena lists the 2 being a little wider than the Pro and Prime, having 1 / 8 GB of RAM / Storage, whereas the Pro / Prime has 2/16 GB.
Looking at the LTE bands it's all over the place, the 2 has LTE band 3(1800), 7(2600), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)
and Pro LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 7(2600). Is there are difference in LTE band between them two, or has GSMArena got it all wrong? Can someone verify that?

Redmi 2 prime is Redmi 2 pro, and all are the same size, same bands, etc, the only difference is that redmi 2 pro (prime) have 2gb of ram

Thanks, glad I got that sorted out.

S7 Edge 935F edition - on AT&T

Bestbuy sells the international version of this phone and I am going to buy it unlocked. But before I do, I had a couple questions.
1. Does this support AT&T band 30? I tried to find the info but I cant seem to locate it
2. This is rootable and bootloader unlocked?
3. Do I need to do anything special as far as region unlocking since it is the international version?
Thanks!
I can't say anything regarding the band 30, region unlocking or AT&T, but I have the 935F edition unlocked and rooted with an custom ROM (Renovate EDGE 1.0) and it works perfect :good: .
But I'm from Germany, I don't now if there are some differences.

I am sure the phone will work on AT&T, just need to know if the international version has band 30 GSM support (AT&Ts XLTE 700mhz band).

Doesnt look like 30 is on there... crap. Maybe its not their 700mhz, but a different band. Regardless they are rolling it out now so would be nice to see that band compatibility.
Band 30 is 2.3ghz, my fault.

I got it from B&H instead.
How will i go about updating this phone? Will it receive updates from Samsung, or do I have to manually install them? Being that it isn't an AT&T phone etc.

LTE band support

I am using axon 7 US variant in India.

Is there any way to make my axon 7 to support 3, 5 , 40 LTE bands?
Thanks

Your phone should support 3 and 5 LTE Band. Only EU version supports LTE 40 Band unfortunately.

Global Version and LTE ??

I just received the Global Version of the Mi Note 2 from Gearbest. I installed the newly released Global Rom and just connected to the Canadian Rogers Network. On my S4 I used to see a little LTE symbol beside the 4G at the top. Since I turned this on I have to see any LTE at all. Just HSPA+ which I never saw on my S4 and 3G.
Is there any way with a Qualcomm device that I can confirm what bands are supported ? I did the *#*#4636#*#* and tried forcing it into LTE only and it would not connect to the Rogers Network. So I'm a bit confused since this thing is supposed to have all the LTE bands available.
any help appreciated.....I did Root the phone... as well
I did play around as well with the sim in slot one and slot 2 too see if there was any difference. Didn't seem to help at all.
Hi !
Can you check with the box of your Mi Note 2 ?
You must see this on the global version
http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201701/05/153904ix5fyiv54a64wyw5.jpg.thumb.jpg
On the standard version you must see 4 chinese character, like this:

If you are the second box, contact Gearbest.
Anybody here having a real global Note 2? Rooted for sure. If yes please pm.

Ok, thx, joined the group.
Definitely check and make sure you have the correct version by referencing the box and the links troufiniou provided above. If it is indeed the Global variant, I would recommend adjusting your APN settings
I have the same issue, could you fix it? Thanks
Enviado desde mi Mi Note 2 mediante Tapatalk
Is there any other way to check if my mi note 2 is a global version or not (except symbols on the box)?. The Mi Verification check gave me that it is the 'Device model LTE 28G' which is not rly helpfull because i can not find any information about it in internet. Much thx for help in advance.
I have same problem. APN is good (double checked with carrier). Even searching for networks doesnt show lte networks..
Can someone help?
I did Mi Check and it showed Device Model LTE. Tried both sim slots. Shows Global version model 2015213 on the box.
My sim card is my lte card i was using with prior phone and lte was fine
Is that ROM related?
Wow. Nobody???
Stilll... Damn! :-/
Community is dead for that phone or what?

Under the surface
Hello I Have the mi note 2 Global. The box dysplay a big global LOGO. And the frequencies given in GSM arena are the followings:
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 12(700), 13(700), 17(700), 18(800), 19(800), 20(800), 25(1900), 26(850), 28(700), 29(700), 30(2300), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)
Speed HSPA 42.2/5.76 Mbps, LTE-A (3CA) Cat12 600/150 Mbps
Canada
2G capabilities
GSM 850, GSM 1900
3G capabilities
UMTS 850, UMTS 1700, UMTS 1900
4G capabilities
LTE 1700, LTE 2600
So you can't really guess what they mean by 4G (1700/2100) . So if there is a 4G antenna next to your house that emits phone signal over the fréqueny 1700 then you might have received a version that doesn't suit your need. (i guess it is some phones have 2100 some other have 1700 but not both). You should try to get the info of what frequencies are used by the different antennas in your surroundings. I give an exemple for france:
go to the adress here: antennesmobiles
when you specify a town (if you say paris you must still zoom a little bit but not for smaller towns). Then if you look at the frequencies used by each antenna you can see the things are much more complicated than what it seems at first sight.
For exemple look the details given for a single antenna (metro oberkampf):
FH 25.5 à 26.25 GHz
3G:
UMTS 880.1 à 889.9 MHz UMTS 925.1 à 934.9 MHz UMTS 1900.1 à 1905.1 MHz UMTS 1935.3 à 1950.1 MHz UMTS 2125.3 à 2140.1 MHz
2G:
GSM 880.1 à 889.9 MHz GSM 925.1 à 934.9 MHz GSM 1765 à 1785 MHz GSM 1860 à 1880 MHz
4G:
LTE 791 à 801 MHz LTE 832 à 842 MHz LTE 1765 à 1785 MHz LTE 1860 à 1880 MHz LTE 2535 à 2550 MHz LTE 2655 à 2670 MHz
So i think these data have to be looked at carefully as it's hard to link with the commercial given data for exemple the
frequencies used in France:
2G capabilities
GSM 900, GSM 1800
3G capabilities
UMTS 900, UMTS 2100
4G capabilities
LTE 700 (28), LTE 800 (20), LTE 1800 (3), LTE 2600 (7).
Let alone that in this listing I gave the result of one antenna belonging to only one provider.
But i Hope i have given you the track to better understand the results of your intensity signal discribed on your phone.
By the way here in France I'm almost permanently in 4g with good signal only since I have this phone because before I had a phone better suited for Algéria.
Thanks and good researches.

What model Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ works best on T-Mobile as far as coverage?

Hello, quick question. What model of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus works best on T-Mobile as far as coverage when UNLOCKED? An UNLOCKED SM-G928T or an UNLOCKED SM-G928A? I'm sure it would seem obvious that the SM-G928T would be best since it's a T-Mobile-branded phone, but check out these Network Specs for each phone:
SM-G928T (T-Mobile) - LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 12(700), 20(800)
SM-G928A (AT&T) - LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 12(700), 17(700), 20(800)
Their identical models, except for the minor fact that one has access to band 8 and the other has access to band 17.
Now, band 8 is an international band, and doesn't really affect domestic coverage, however, band 17 is an AT&T band, so it would seem better to get the UNLOCKED AT&T model for T-Mobile SIM card/service as it has extra access to AT&T towers through band 17 thus providing better coverage, if I'm not mistaken. The AT&T variant has ALL of the bands that T-Mobile uses (2, 4 & 12) PLUS the bands that AT&T uses (2, 4, 5, 12 & 17). Is this theory correct, or no? Just asking.

Yeah, unfortunately I have to pick out of the two. It looks like the international variant, SM-G928G, doesn't have a reasonably-priced 64GB edition and not worth paying for at the moment.

I think the international one has all bands, so it's more likely to be the best.
