AT&T definitely stepping it up with brand recognition, similar to how starbucks removed their name from the logo.

Looks about right. I wonder if Verizon's variant will still have the atrocious branding on the home button.

just get a new back cover? :good:

That's a nice, simply branding that doesn't take away from the device. Makes me want to abandon Verizon even more. We'll see what their official pics look like... (Hopefully the ones that were released are not official...)

Looking on the date on the phone, does it gives us a clue that it will be released on Thursday, November 15?

What news I've read did say it would be released mid-November, so the clues match up.

If the AT&T logo is no more than that I can live with that.
I just can't decide if I want the white or the grey.

I used a penny to rub off the branding on my Atrix. As long as it's just silk screened print on the cover it should work here as well.

Now, if the AT&T Note II's hardware is identical to the international version (with the exception of the LTE radios), then I'm pretty well sold! Flash the international firmware, and keep the AT&T specific modem.bin, and you've got the best of both worlds!

This is perfect. Nice and simple. Now all they have to do is release the damn thing.

When is this coming out for ATT? Late October or late November?

What is so nice about international firmware?

No AT$T bloat, that's enough for me.

If I were to wager a guess... If there were custom ROMs released that are based on the international firmware one could flash that without borking the device.

But no LTE on the international version, correct? Useless to me without LTE. When I get throttled on LTE I get throttled down to HSPA and that's manageable. Without it? It's throttled back to EDGE.

I don't know about throttling but yes international versions(N7100) will not support AT&T LTE bands.

[Q] Virgin Mobile Canada - carrier locked?

Hi guys, long time reader - finally signed up because I am stumped. I bought my N4 through Virgin Mobile Canada which is HSPA+. It actually works out cheaper than buying it from Google.
first off, yes I searched. alot. Anyways, I have a AT&T sim that I use while traveling in the states that when I put in my N4 and I get the error that "network not available" even while in the USA. Does this mean it is carrier locked? I dont have another micro-sim to try in it and I know the sim is good because it works in my unlocked blackberry.
Everything that I have read regarding locked LG phones says it will give you an error to enter an unlock code when you put in the SIM although it does not. and the code for LG to bring up the unlock screen does not work.
Does anyone know if Virgin locks the N4? There is absolutely no branding / bloat so I didnt figure they had tinkered with it. Thanks!

You need to fiddle around with the APN settings, AT+T is weird that way.

hi, thanks for your reply, that didnt seem to do it though. I found a few on here (tho i cant post the links due to being a noob). Here are some screenshots of the APN settings I used, and the resulting error when I try to change carrier to AT&T:

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I tried the Cingular settings... no dice. I have read though that once you use a go phone sim in a phone att locks your imei to that sim. Any idea if that true?

Btw, I used my sim in a black berry for a few months before getting the n4 so maybe att looked its imei to the sim? That even make sense?

never used a go phone sorry thats all the info i could find at the moment
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Any idea if there is a way to verify that my N4 is not locked so that I can completely rule that out as an option? That way I know 100% the problem is with ATT, not with my phone?

well guys, i can confirm that if you buy a nexus 4 through Virgin it is NOT carrier locked.
turns out my problem was that AT&T locked my sim to my old phone. I just called ATT and they unlocked my sim (which was locked to my old blackberry), then I put it in my N4 and it worked! woohoo!!!

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!

American and international.
They have different radio bands enabled, that should be the extent of differences.
Unless you mean on the device, then I assume the phone will be labeled in software, and probably have the SKU on the case somewhere.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I saw a post recently showing the frequencies both phones have. The international one had all the US bands as well if I remember correctly.

It has most of the same bands but not all. You'd not have as good coverage using the international version for Project Fi in the US.
Also the versions abroad that have these bands are likely considerably more expensive than the US version. As an example, in the EU the 6P starts at at over $200 more for the base model.

plus there is no 4g in Europe

They are pretty close, but the info had been posted a few times I'm the general section - I think I also saw a listing of countries and bands somewhere here.
Try searching, it should come up.

Here it is

International you gain Asian bands mostly 1 (is Europe to), 9 & 19 are Japan. You loose 30(AT&T future), 12 (hopefully will work with T-Mobile at launch lol), and 13 (Verizon?).
I hope they fix it in the def community like they did the nexus 6, almost all bands on both devices.

Is the hardware that much different? I thought the 810 supports all that together and wouldn't need anything else for bands?

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.
