Hello everyone
I have a question about lte band of Chinese version
On Huawei website, we can see that the mate 7 support FDD LTE band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28. Todays, we can find the Chinese version for sell "limited" to bands 1,3,7.
But what I don't understand if the Chinese version got all band if you use it in another country or does it need a firmware mod to activate the other bands?
I need band 3,7 and 20... Can I buy a Chinese one or not? (2gig/16 would be good)
Thanks
This has been answer in our Q&A thread. Please take a look at recent discussion on this topic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/wait-compatible-ascend-mate-7-buy-t2899404
Forum member from Switzerland has reported that the Chinese TL10 works flawlessly and we will hear more news from EU user next week.:fingers-crossed:
And we highly recommend 3 GB RAM, or the premium version. You will notice significant difference when opening multiple APPS.
We will post a root instruction for xda community early next week so that it will be a more fun machine to have.

Hello!
I just came back from a trip to China. Bought my Mate 7 in Shanghai. Its the MT7-UL00 Version.
At the shop they told me it should work in Switzerland. They even installed the Play Store for me (good service).
At the Stop Over in Dubai I had no LTE. So I was a little worried. Now in Switzerland it looks like I have same LTE coverage like I had bevor with my LG G3.
Hope this helps you.
The Kitano
MT7-TL10 Chinese -> European
I just got af Gold Mate 7 (3 bg/32 rom) from China - MT7-TL10.
Its a Chinese version, with Chines text i a few palces (even i chosed Denmark for language) but its also without google or anything - and im living in Europe.
So my question is, how do I get the international version af the software on this phone so I can use it like a normal phone here in Europe?
I would be really thankfull for any help and guidance regarding this issue.
Thank you!
Yep i dreaming of my futur AM7 but for no problem at all like the guaranty, i prefer wait till the european version launch officially. i'm so disappointed the gold version will not sold in europe, oh well the grey/black model will be fine too ^^
the official launch in france will be soon around 12 of november.

You can already buy at amazon.fr, can't you?
they've been selling it since last week. and they already discounted by 20euro in white version yesterday. (looks like it's back to normal price though)
You can buy it EUR 455.70 at amazon.fr now. price dropping so fast. nobody's buying it?
I bought mine on amazon.fr but I have not yet received

I bought the Gold TL10 version from ebay and had the international rom flashed on it. Works fine although i only get 3g hspa with tmobile (which is still pretty fast).
I want to unlock the 4g lte though like the TL09 versions so i cud see how fast the cat6 realli is. Regardless though, this phone is pretty fast to even be in 3g mode.
Can you buy the 3gb ram version from amazon fr?
Also how does warranty work on amazon fr? I live in the uk.
Thanks

It's amazon so warranty usually good if you buy from them. 3gb ram 2gb of ram wont matter much with the Chipset they are using. Feel confident that 2gb will be enough after all the video tests I have seen on YouTube. The 3gb is only the Chinese model which I would not purchase. Get the European model much safer bet.

Hey, I have my MT7 brought over from China. I am using it in the Czech Republic on Vodafone network. I can only get 2G connectivity. No 3G or LTE. in the Settings/Roaming Settings, it identifies my SIM card as "2G" only, and I cannot switch on 4G. I have a brand new nano SIM that should work with our local LTE.
My MT7 model MT7-CL00, build number MT7-CL00V100R001C92B120SP07
Any ideas?

You should inquiry before purchasing. The CL00 version, aka China TeleCom version, only recognizes their specific SIM, otherwise, locked at GSM only. Choose a reputable seller in the future.

Yeah I got this as a little gimmick to play with., but it certainly is a disappointment.
Do you think the CL00 version can be loaded with TL10 firmware? I can see CL00 and TL10 differ dramatically in the network and data connectivity support, and TL10 is what I need.

No. There is no way to unlock the SIM and flashing TL10 ROM will not work either. In addition, CL00 uses an additional chip for CDMA2000, which consumes more batteries (only 2/3 of battery life vs. other versions, stated by HUAWEI's website). If you consider TL10, we have Gold color version in stock.
We cannot help you on this version any more.
Good luck!

Hey guys,
I've been using my M9+ for quite a while now and its incredible, I have been using the CleanSlate Rom and its kernel. The picture quality is amazing and the 2k screen is beyond beautiful. The fingerprint scanner is very responsive. I am from the UK and its working perfectly for me here. The lady in the HTC Chat told me it wouldn't work here and no point buying it. But I knew it would work as the bands are mostly the same as the M9 and is covered by the networks in the UK.
Do you have the M9+?
If you don't have it will you be getting it?
Where do you live?
Whats your view of the phone?
Looking forward to your replies
HTC One M9+
I'm from India and I have been using M9+ for about a month now. Its not rooted (yet). Its an incredible device but one glitch I have noticed is that the camera app doent load sometimes. I'm running Android 5.0.2 with Sense 7.0. Also the device tends to heat quite a bit on moderate usage. Other than that it's a beast!
Do you have the M9+? - Yes
Where do you live? - Hungary/European Union
Whats your view of the phone?
- I'm pleased with the experience, I was turned down by the Camera reviews on the net, but I gotta tell, on the long run, I got used to how it works, and while I might have to take 2 pics instead of one because of the focus capabilities and lack of OIS, BUT those images that goes well are Superb.
- The heating is like it is supposed to be on a metal chassis
- Battery life is like average high end phones, I wish it was like on Sony's, but nothing worse than it was on my previous phone (OPO)
- I could live with a little bit less bazel because of the look of the phone, but the screen is gorgeous!!
- The price is a bit over the edge (especially if you have to pay import + VAT in EU from China like i had to, bah), but hopefully it will get cheaper, and more people can get this
Also as a developer, I'm pleased that HTC released the kernel sources relatively fast. Developing AOSP like ROMs for this phone is tho' a big no, MTK + HTC is double pain in the ass, so for now I'm skipping developing AOSP based device tree for it.
Do you have the M9+?
-- Yes
If you don't have it will you be getting it?
Where do you live?
-- Shanghai, China / Taiwan
Whats your view of the phone?
-- This is a pretty nice phone overall, and I love it, especially after breaking the chains and bondage the original China version laid. Thanks to @tbalden again!!
-- The Duo Camera could have been smoother though.
Do you have the M9+? YES, MY SISTER GOT IT FOR ME FROM ABU DHABI
If you don't have it will you be getting it? N/A
Where do you live? UK
Whats your view of the phone? VERY GOOD, WORTH WAITING FOR AS I UPGRADED FROM THE ONE M7
Do you have the M9+?
Yes, Bought it from HK as my M8 had a mishap.
If you don't have it will you be getting it?
N/A
Where do you live?
Sydney, Australia
Whats your view of the phone?
Nice phone. I have had it about 3 weeks, running CleanSlate Rom still getting used to M9+ compared to M8. Only real complaint so far with the phone design is the position of the power button - not to touch the button and turn on the screen. unnecessarily. Managing the battery life is continuous problem.
HI guys, just a quick question for those in UK - does the 4G work on Vodaphone & EE?
Thank you

Hello. this item doesn't supporting LTE 800MHz, can't work on Vodafone LTE network. only work on EE LTE. and remind you SIM 2 slot only supporting 2G network

You mention the the device was E9+ (E9pw),not M9+ (M9pw).
If you want dual SIM devices, choose E9+ or ME (M9ew).

I said E9+ because that what a seller in UK has, but he says it WILL not work on 4G in UK not seen any M9 E's for sale here - is it the same as the + or is it missing things (I ask because the + is missing) :/
EDIT:
Fpound one in Germany but it says:
Network Technology LTE
Band GSM 800/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) CDMA 800/1900 UMTS 850/1900/2100 LTE 1900
Vodaphone uses LTE 800Mhz so it wont work either :/
These phone companies REALLY need to get their acts together and simplify things for the markets, we are a global market now, the country divides are useless
Thanks for the input guys
UPDATE:
I bought the E9+
works great on EE 4G so I am happy
I saw a post on here somewhere about a dial in code #? to unlock 4G on SIM 2 but I cannot bloody find it :/
Do you have the M9+? Yes
Where do you live? Adelaide, Australia
Whats your view of the phone? It's sexy and love it expect the camera and battery life otherwise everything great.
hi guys, this is my first post so go easy. I'm wanting to buy the m9+ though im not sure if the 4g/the phone in general will work on o2 in the uk? can anyone clarify this for me? o2 use 800mhz as their band and i dont think the m9+ works with this.
however according to willmyphonework dot net when i select the m9+ it says it will work?
finally there are seemingly two m9+ models listed on there, the m9pw and the m9pt- will either of them work or should i just give up trying to get this?
cheers in advance!

As stated the P10 plus is available on ebay, I am just wondering if I should wait or if the CN version would work on US cellular carriers? thanks!

You should look at the LTE Bands supported, compare it to the ones used by your US provider and make up your own opinion, no?
Actually no, because over the years of buying unlocked phones I have found that ebay listings tend to lack these facts or are not trustworthy, especially when they are written overseas. I will not drop >$800 on a phone until I know for sure. I posted here since I figured some may already have experience with the handset. Thank you
Then you should wait. If ebay listings are the only source you can find for technical information on the p10 plus then don't risk your money.
Even if bands work you could end up with a Chinese model like what I got when I ordered a P9 Plus and didn't pay attention to model numbers. It wasn't a big deal, just took some time to get Google play installed. And some apps and settings not in English
I have a mate 9 china version and it works in Canada on Telus and Rogers network. Just FYI.
A spec list from huawei Chinese website for P10 Plus:
LTE FDD:Band1/2/3/4/5/7/8/9/12/17/18/19/20/26
TD-LTE: Band38/39/40/41（100M）
UMTS(WCDMA)/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA:Band1/2/4/5/6/8/19
TD-SCDMA:Band34/39 （移动主频段）
CDMA（主副卡二选一）:BC0( 800MHz)；(仅限中国电信（中国大陆+澳门）)
GSM/EDGE:850/900/1800/1900MHz

Usually Samsung's Snapdragon version in Hong Kong or China have unlocked Bootloader and therefore should be able to get TWRP without too much problem. (That' the case of the S7 Snapdragon for instance: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...ecovery-official-twrp-galaxy-s7-edge-t3458589 )
I own the S8+ 6Gb HK version. I haven't found anybody working on it (On Chinese forums they seem to be checking regularly... xda forums ) but the user base is decently big and given the fact it was achieved previously for the S7 I was wondering if anybody would be ready to work on it? (if not started already).
If no one with the skillset is around, we could eventually team up for a bounty thread (With an unlocked bootloader the task shouldn't be a massive job)
Any people interested?
hear hear- have the same phone, it really is much more smoother than my G955F (btw selling the G9FF for a great negotiable price PM me if anyone wants it or any DEV
etc).
would be good to know if or when it will happen

the problem is most of the Chinese doesn't speak English so probably very few Chinese are here on Xda.

For people who are using the HK versions (G9550) in the UK, what problems are you facing in the normal day-to-day running?
I've been told that VoLTE and Wifi Calling do not work when using in the UK. Is this the case? What other "problems" or limitations are there on using the HK version in UK? How about samsung pay or android pay?
I ask because I'm seriously considering buying the 128GB/6GB version.

Hi! I just recieved my G9750 Snapdragon 855 S10 Plus, which turned out to be a chinese one. Is it any way to install any non-chinese/global ROM onto it? Like a USA ROM, which is also a Snapdragon one? I live in the UK, but I wanted one with the Snapdragon chipset. Thanks for any help.
Also in the same situation
Ditto - imported to UK.

What do you mean by "which turned out to be a Chinese one"? Can't you set it to English? I have the G-9750 and everything is English.

Of course it's include all languages, english also, but G9750 is for the Chinese market, so as the ROM is chinese. For example the Samsung Pay is Hong Kong specific one, with promotions from there. Etc....
So you wanted the G-9750 for the dual SIM functionality? I'm using the G-9750 in Canada, and Samsung Pay works. Did you try registering your CC?
All the S10's are dual SIM. I wanted the Snapdragon 855 version, cause it has better battery life compared to the Exynos version. I know that for sure, cause I had one at launch. And almost full support for the GCAM.

Yes Snapdragon has better battery life for screen on runtime. There is no international ROM for Chinese variant. You have to use the Hong Kong firmware by changing language to English. Samsung Pay works as well, just different ads from Hong Kong when you use it.

Yeah to be honest after a day with the phone - the only thing that makes it feel Chinese/HK is Samsung Pay... and I'm not entirely sure i'll be using it over GPay.
Looks like we have an unlocked bootloader though so will personally its just a matter of time until I brick my phone

What do you mean by "which turned out to be a Chinese one"? Can't you set it to English? I have the G-9750 and everything is English.

How did you find out it has an unlocked bootloader? The Snapdragon ones should be with the locked bootloader.

The Chinese Smapdragon devices have an unlocked bootloader.

So you wanted the G-9750 for the dual SIM functionality? I'm using the G-9750 in Canada, and Samsung Pay works. Did you try registering your CC?

Hi, if I may ask that have you linked your Canadian cards to the G9750 and it works with Samsung Pay? I am planning to buy one but the Samsung Pay is very important to me...
adding to the same question , i have a HongKong variant (SM-G9750) with Unlocked bootloader (u get the option to unlock in developer mode) , i m using it in india with Jio & Vodafone (network providers).. when i was on roaming i saw my phone not picking up network that well compared to my friends on the same network diff phones. i guess thats coz their CSC is Indian and mine is Hong kong ( i can be wrong in this , correct if i am) in that case is there a way to flash Indian CSC or Multi CSC on my device.
hi everybody , i have s10 plus hong kong, it has a problem with battery, cell standby higher than 15% on mobile network 4g and 3g, is there any way to solve this problem ? while s10 5g cell standby only has 1%

Just adding to the discussion here....I'm living in mainland China, not Hong Kong, and am using a Chinese sim card in my S7 that i brought with me from North America. It works fine with the apps i had installed when I came over. This includes VPN services, the Google play store and all its goodies. I just purchased the S10+ G9750 here in mainland China (not in Hong Kong). I don't have it in my hand yet, but when I get it I expect it to be full of Chinese software and restricting type soft/bloatware that could potentially limit both my access to VPN and the Google play store (FWIW, i have heard many expats here who have bought local xiaomi's and huawei's and have tried to put a VPN on them on to have it magically disappear from their phones a few days/weeks afterwards...I assume there is some sort of setting or software that does this as VPN services are not "legal" in China. I have also heard of people having problems with certain western APKs when installing them on these same Chinese phones).
That said...I have a few questions....hopefully this is the correct place to ask them...
1) Is there a difference between a Hong Kong G9750 and a mainland China one?
2) Based on what I have read, my G9750 does have an unlockable bootloader....if so...
3) what am i able to do with an unlockable bootloader? It seems that people interchangeably use "rooting" and bootloading a new rom on to an international phone so i'm confused af. Flashing the firmware???
Ultimately, i would like to completely wash this Chinese phone of any potential BS Chinese software and install a western ROM (i.e., Canada or US) that will still make it work in China, but will still offer me all the Google play store and other western app functionality as I have currently with my s7.
Thoughts?
