I'm interested in the fully factory unlocked GS4, but want it to be compatible on either AT&T or tmobile's 4G LTE speeds. I checked the model they are selling at expansysUSA website: http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-s-4-smartphone-black-mist-16gb-unlocked-247538/
But it doesn't have LTE support (the GT-9500 model). Doesn't anyone know which unlocked variant is the compatible one to get to be compatible on either AT&T or tmobile's LTE bands?
The Canadian variants will be as close to stock as possible and will work on band 4/17. I could not find any other model that will support those.
I would look for the Telus or Bell variants once they are shipping.

Cool, but the Canadian carriers are going to offer the 32GB, or at least Vodafone said they weren't. I wonder if Telus or Bell will?

SM-P605 (EU)
SM-P605M (Brazil)
If anyone on AT&T gets a P-605M please post your results. I'd sell my P-601 and get a P-605M if it in fact supports AT&T's LTE bands. "700MHz" is a pretty broad swath as it's used by both VZW and AT&T. AT&T's specific 700MHz band is "17" while VZW's is "7." So 700MHz doesn't guarantee compatibility with AT&T. The difference in 700 MHz bands is why VZW and AT&T devices can't be used across their respective networks.
anyone out there who can help please do.
I looked at some specs somewhere for the Vodafone S5, and it apparently supports all of AT&T's LTE bands. If this is in fact true, I'd much rather buy one of these because they allow you to unlock it. Does anyone know where I could get one of these for the US/verify the specs? AT&T uses 2, 4, and 17 for LTE (2G/3G are the same throughout all models).
Thanks!

Anyone have an answer to this? I was thinking of buying the SM-G900M unlocked for Rogers in Canada as it seems to support LTE frequency 700 which is used where I live.

The real question is.. does it support carrier aggregation?
AT&T said that they aren't using carrier aggregation to improve speeds or bandwidth for consumers, but to "more efficiently utilize the spectrum and meet users' data demands as more users utilize LTE".
They specifically stated that advertised download and upload speeds won't change.
Because of this, I honestly don't mind if there isn't carrier aggregation on the Canadian models.

I want to buy the SM-G900M from Expansys. They say it is "USA LTE" compatible. Did anyone try with AT&T LTE?

It's bands are fully compatible with AT&T.
It'll work with no issue.

Hello!
I've bought a Chinese version of OP2 and it seems to be doesn't have Band 20 LTE support (800 MHz). :crying:
And I was wondering if it's possible to unlock the band like for OPO?
That's not known yet, but I've got my doubts.
I was scared as you after see that I bought the chinese version which doesn't have the 800mhz; but I checked on this site if my phone will work on the LTE of my carrier:
http://www.willmyphonework.net/
Fortunately it works. The real problem is that the chinese version, having only one IMEI, doesn't allow the use of dual sim outside of the China.
Hope your LTE works!

That's not true regarding the dual Sim, it works in standby mode and can be used when primary Sim is not in use (I know this as I have the Chinese version of the handset and I am using 2 Sim cards).

Yeah can confirm this is the same in Australia.
Yes I have LTE, I've checked before buying, but It still one of the Bands I would like to have (it works well inside the buildings).
And yes, bouth SIMs work in dual standby mode.
Has anyone tried using the same guide used in OnePlus One?

me too! I've also bought a chinese version of OP2 and I wanted to unlock band 20.
Also subscribing to the thread! I'm going another way: I have the American version and want to use it in Europe (Poland in particular, so I need band 3).
Has anyone tried the unlocking guides on OP2? Is it only a software issue or do the modems actually differ?

I haven't gotten them unlocked. I tried the opo method, denied. I'm using it on hspa+ and really can't tell any difference from LTE. Just my opinion.

I like use the band 800 in México LTE.
One person respond my question and the process to ONO no function.
Do you have information about other team/member working in this topic?
I followed the same procedure as oneplus two, but stuck on drivers installation.
Would be glad to have a solution on this.
I really need this I have messed up... I had to use a post forwarding service so I found a US one and I live in norway and got the US model.. I have asked if I can trade it for a EU one but they can't because of their policies.. Anyone know what band I need for it to work on LTE in Norway?

I think you can find something interesting reading information below:
With the OnePlus 2, we’ve taken some extra steps to ensure that our device works flawlessly in all the markets we support. A crucial component (no pun intended) is bands support. As you may be aware, LTE bands across the world differ significantly for various reasons (let’s talk about why that is some other time) and certain hardware restrictions make it so that you can only support so many bands in one device.
Thus, there is a trade-off between having all the bands and manufacturing complexity - the more bands you want to support, the more region-specific SKUs you have to create. We opted to make two different versions for two different regions - one EU/India, and one that we call North America. These are both OnePlus Global phones; they ship with Oxygen OS and the proper band support for your region. Besides those, there’s also the Chinese version that ships with Hydrogen OS and Chinese LTE support - this one is not available on oneplus.net (and is almost certainly the version you will get if you buy from anywhere else).
Here’s a breakdown of the differences (for EU/NA, bands in bold only available on that version):
Note that compatibility here refers to LTE, the fastest network currently available. The slower 2G/3G GSM frequencies (below referred to as GSM and WCDMA) are less fragmented and you should be able to get data almost worldwide with the included 2&3G bands regardless of the version. Use http://www.willmyphonework.net/ for easy reference.
EU/Asia
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/3/5/7/8/20
TDD-LTE: Bands 38/40/41
3 and 20 are used almost all over Europe, but not at all in North America. Band 8, although available in both versions, is used in Europe and India but is seeing increasing adoption worldwide.
North America
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/4/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/2/4/5/7/8/12/17
For NA, the removal of bands 3 & 20 allows us to add all the GSM bands you’ll need.
China
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
WCDMA: 1/2/5/8
TD-SCDMA: 34/39
TDD-LTE: 38/39/40/41
FDD-LTE: 1/3/7
The Chinese version will have very limited 4G compatibility in Europe and North America. More importantly, it only has one IMEI meaning you will not have dual-SIM capability outside of China. If you like having dual SIMs, do not buy the Chinese version.

Here is procedures to unlock LTE bands in Xiaomi Mi Note Pro. Both mobiles (Xioami and OP2) built same processor so maybe this method is for us. I did not tried it yet.

Hello All
I read that the phones coming to the US will be dual sim. I was wondering if anyone knew what LTE bands are available on this version. GSM Arena lists the bands but doesn't specify which version they're reviewing (I believe it's only out in Beijing right now). I'm in China right now but can't find the phone in the small city I'm in. I am planning a trip to Beijing next Sunday to go check it out... just wondering if it's even worth the effort... Any info anyone has would be appreciated...
