NEVER.
The Epic is a CDMA. To go over seas, they will have to make a GSM version which is doubtful.

If I was over seas... I'd be a saaad Panda right now.

Dont say never. If a carrier wants it or if their is enough demand for one from a consumer, Samsung will make it. Try emailing Samsung Germany about it.

I know from a good source (big online Handy Store in Germany, which already know something about the x1 before it was out) told me the epic 4g is sprint exclusive but it will follow a 3g version named "Samsung Galaxy S pro"
The shop has the phone already online but without release date

Samsung S7 edge dual Sim version for Germany

Hi everyone,
Currently I'm carrying daily 2 phones (work & private) with me and I want to merge them to one.
What do I have to do to get a dual Sim version working of the S7 edge for Germany? Thanks

What or who would stop me from buying a dual sim version abroad and plugging two sim cards in it?

Du kanns jede S7 version in De benutzen!
Soweit ich weiss hat jedes Galaxy S7 ein slot für die Sim Karte und noch ein Slot für eine MicroSD Karte oder eine weitere Sim.
Das heißt wenn du dein s7 als Dualsim Handy benutzt musst du auf die MicroSD Karte verzichten, Genauso wie beim Galaxy A8
Aber das ist das erste mal dass es ein gutes Dualsim Hnady in DE gibt
You can use all s7 variants in germany as a dualsim phone.
as far as i know all s7 variants in germany do have a sim slot together with another slot for the microsdcard or the second sim.
so that means if you use your s7 as a dualsim phone you will not be able to use a microsdcard like on tha Galaxy A8
press thx

I think you are right. The necessary hardware is there, but for Germany it won't work. So far nobody knows exactly how it's restricted, through CPU or from the software side. For USA it looks that dual Sim is possible.

I think you will find the sim trays are different and only the SE Asian and Chinese versions will have the hardware for dual sim or single sim and SD ie the SD and 2nd sim tray part is slightly different on these models as too is the hardware and the software to control 2 sims
Model numbers SM 9350 and SM 9300 for China and HK
Model numbers SM 935FD and SM 930FD for SE Asia

Hi. I have a similar question. I want to buy an S7 edge. I work in a cruise ship and I can get a great deal in Singapore, which will be the 935FD model, with a pay-as-you-go Singapore SIM. When I get home to the UK, will I be able to use the second SIM slot with my (Vodafone) UK SIM?

It is said there is a regiolock in different regional versions of the S7 but I never heard of somebody really facing this problem.
The news I found is only about a regiolock of European devices.
http://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/03/galaxy-s7-galaxy-s7-edge-region-locked-in-europe.html
The regiolock will be deactivated if the device is used in the region it was sold with a simcard from this region - one should make a call of at least 5 minutes to get rid of the lock.
I bought myself a 935FD on Ebay from a seller in Hong Kong (using a warehouse in the UK) No regiolock at all.

works fine.
I can't post links because of my post count but if you put the imgurl url followed by /rMIgUcm it should work.
it says unknown but I'm guessing that's because I've never used the sim before? I literally just opened it, it was a £1 pay as u go sim i got from town a while back. It says only 1 sim can use 4g also hence it being 2g.

Hi Maroc. Do you by any chance have the address of the Hong Kong dealer? I'm going there as well, and prices are cheaper than in Singapore. Thanks.

I've been researching this a bit more and I realise I don't really understand the differences. In the UK, my network is Three Mobile (owned by Hutchinson Telecoms) and it operates on 2100MHz (for 3G) and 800MHz and 1800MHz for 4G/LTE. With all the different variants of the S7 edge, is frequency the only difference? If so, do I only need to worry about the operating frequencies of the handset? I understand there might be a regiolock problem as well, but as long as I use the phone for 5 minutes in the country of origin (with a SIM bought in that country) then this won't be a problem? Specifically, could I source a 935FD in Hong Kong and use it there And in the UK? Or do they ONLY sell the Hong Kong variant there? I've looked at http://www.4g.co.uk/4g-frequencies-uk-need-know/ which gives a lot of tech info, but I'm still none the wiser regarding specifics of the S7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm in HKG, local version is G9350 (SD820, Dual SIM, unique model....).
I bought a G9350FD from a import shop coz I wanted to 8890CPU instead of SD820.
Seems the phone I got is from Africa somwhere (ECT CSC). I've flashed to UK's BTU CSC now and seems ok.

Hi. I'm about to buy a 935FD from Taiwan. Will I also need to flash a BTU CSC in order to use this in the UK? If so, are there any shortcuts or all-in-one toolkits that I can use to do this for me? I was fine flashing ROMs on my old rooted HTC, but I've never used Odin before to flash a Samsung.

From my experience, download the latest BTU firmware. Flash the BL, CP,AP and CSC should be fine.
Use latest odin. Should be 3.11
No need use Home_CSC.

huawei mate 8 4g in uk working very rare

Hi. I have mate 8 chineese version. Working in 4g in uk but 90% time i have only 3g. 4g mode enable. Anyone have similar problem?

Which provider you are using?
http://www.4g.co.uk/4g-frequencies-uk-need-know/
If you have the china version - there is no 800MHz (Band 20)
So if your provider uses this Band you can't connect.

I'm in three uk. My huawei have 4G: FDD-LTE: B1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/26
TDD-LTE: B38/B39/B40/B41. So everything should be alright. Sometimes outside building catch 4g

mine is from HK, I'm with Three, no problem with 4g at all

You better check your informations before talking nonsense.
What are your sources ?

here my source:
https://www.androidpit.de/huawei-mate-8-test
"Aber natürlich müssen wir hier anmerken, dass unser Testgerät eine chinesische Variante ist, dem die Unterstützung für das LTE Band mit 800 MHz fehlt. Diese LTE-Frequenz wird von den Netzbetreibern hauptsächlich in ländlichen Regionen genutzt um große Distanzen zu überbrücken. "

I have the same problem with three network on my AL10. Sometimes its stack on 3g mode but after restarting the phone automaticaly connects to 4g. A quick workaround is to switch off and on again the 4g option through the shortcuts. Hope that helps a bit

It works but at hom3 no 4g on huawei but s6 has 4g all of time. Outside building sometines catch 4g. Maybe three uk has bad signal at my area.

I suggest you to upgrade to b352. I did it yesterday through hicare and the signal is improved dramaticaly. If you go to hicare - service - update and agree the terms the b352 will appear. Cheers

Difference between all 82x variants (WIP)

i just found out my phone is actually a x820 and not a x829.
some custom roms report a different/wrong model. thats why i created this thread.
i'm trying to collect what the real difference between all the le max 2 variants is. please help me to add information, share your knowledge and findings and correct me if i'm wrong.
remember, this is a work in progress.
so far:
hardware seems to be the same beside the amount of ram and rom. it could be a difference in the radio hardware for at least the x829 devices, not verified yet.
shops sometimes list different specs for the same variant, so tread with caution.
some sellers even advertise the le max 2 with nfc wich it undoubtfully has not.
you can turn missing bands on in dfs tool but the phone wont connect to that bands.
it's still unsure if it can be done or if the radio hardware is different.
please report:
- phone variant printed on the backside sticker (x829 only) or on the box
- ram/rom/colour
- band 20 marked in dfs tool (screenshots welcome but cut out your imei etc.)
- band 20 working in real life. (how to test?)
- band 20 activated with dfs tool and working/not working.
- ... tell me what else.
x820
region: china
lte band 20: yes
colors: rose gold, gold, grey
ram/rom: 4/32, 6/64, 6/128
x821
region: india

colors:
ram/rom:
x822
region:

x829

colors: gold, rose gold, grey
ram/rom: 4/64
other: FCC certification information printed directly on the back of the phone under the leeco symbol
claims of versions x823, x825 not verified.

specs: 6/128, gold

Did you flash another Rom? You Phone isn`t a X829. I'm wondering about your signature: "Gesendet von meinem Le X829 mit Tapatalk " When youre Hardwareinformation says X829 it is just possible with the flash of a wrong (but not bad) ROM.

scroll down, it's printed on packing.

its mostly the ROM which specifies the phone model and hardware is the same for all variants other than memory specs, x829 was supposed to be released in US officially, they even had specific ROM for x829 which was removed from xda for some reasons; https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/x829-5-816s-t3426119

I'm not 100 percent on this, but I don't think we use band 20 in the states..... ?
Ever use willmyphonework.net ? I've found that its pretty reliable source of info on carrier/models supported.
From what i have read before buying my max 2 is that its mostly the same phone ( besides ram/ROM size), variant model numbers just point to marketed regions. @A.N.Droid

i have already installed the app and will test later today when i have service.
on my private sim i have 3g only, for work i believe it's lte too. i haven't checked this yet, new job -new phone.
i unlocked band 28 in dfs tool just to see if it sticks and it does.
i believe it is not used by any carrier here in germany yet but maybe in 2018 some will use that band, not sure if it's true.
band 20 is definately in use here in germany. it's used for longer distance, if you live away from bigger cities.
you are right, band 20 is not in use in the us.

I refuse to believe, unless we shed some light on it.
Would you be so kind to post pictures of box and lower back side of the phone?

Interesting thread!
I order myself a x829 allthough we live in Spain .
For what I have been reading in other threads the difference indeed might be in the 4G bands , the x829 not having the 20 band since it is not used in US ( as such x829 would be for US market)
The main question thus would be if it is just a matter of software enable/disable (which could be arranged with DFS) or is there really a hardware difference...
Will post findings once I get phone
