Huh?
I haven an H815. Its most certainly not just wifi, matter of fact the Wifi is only good for data, not calls. I have it working with T-Mobile with no issues.

It does not work with my sprint SIM :crying: I would like it too! Does anyone know of a hack to make it so? And if I actually believed that it was wifi-only I wouldn't be asking.

It won't ever work with your Sprint SIM because the H815 model is GSM only - and Sprint is CDMA

The answer used to be Sprint is CDMA not GSM so you have the wrong phone if I am correct. Sorry. But now that they have LTE....
LTE is the same functionally (not bands though) among carriers. You may need to call Sprint and see if they have some sort of blocking enabled for that device.

I am about to order one from ebay (h815). I'm not sure if that will work with tmo since it's missing the aws 1700/2100 3g band. Isn't that a necessary band for mms?
Also looks like it's missing lte 12 but doesn't matter since Chicago hasn't been approved for that band anyway and it'll be a while before that happens.

Havent had any trouble with mms, sending photos from my G4 on t-mo to wifes G3.

What are the differences between the F500 and the H815? Here in Australia, the F500 is approximately $100 more expensive than the H815 on eBay. Of course, it hasn't been released yet and I believe that, when it is released, it will cost around $900. ( -_-)

In Australia, if you're with Telstra and want the new 4GX network, you need the 815 or 815T. You need one that has 700MHz(B28) band, and it seems both of them do have this. If you're with Optus, the 815 is missing an LTE band and you'd be best going for the 815T.

I'm with the crappiest company; Vodafone. I didn't even know there were so many models of the G4. Thanks for that!
I don't use 4G/LTE. There's dodgy coverage in Perth and its suburbs (even just general 2G/3G) and I'm usually in reach of wifi.
I hope someone can make a list of all the models to make it easier to find the international model versus carrier models.

QD_AU on eBay are selling them for AU$799 - great price! It's the Taiwan version, the 815: http://stores.ebay.com.au/QD-Shopping-Centre/_i.html?_nkw=h815&submit=Search&_sid=138021041
They're a reputable store with lots of great feedback on places like Whirlpool.
I'm about to pull the trigger on one

Ah, yeah. I saw that. Not a bad price but why is the leather-back version the same price as the plastic cover one?
Is the F500 the international variant or the H815? Which one do you think will get the fastest updates? I really want to switch from my Nexus 5. With Google's new Photos app coming later today, I'd love to take photos on the G4 and upload them.

Speed test on T-Mobile.

All righty. It does seem like the H815 is the international version.
I'll think about ordering it soon. I've already spent too much this month and I'm running out of money.

is this moto g4 play from ting.com the regular US unlocked model?

and can it be used on tmobile?
https://ting.com/shop/Motorola-Moto-G4-Play
thanks!

From what I see, it is the unlocked version and can be used with the top 4 US carriers.

"CN version" Available on ebay. Will it work in the US?

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

Awesome, I was crossing my fingers since I'm on T-Mobile as well.
Edit: Got my phone and went over to the T-Mobile store. Full coverage as soon as they put the nano sim in!

That's a question I need answered. In the U.S. Best Buy list it with snapdragon but on Samsung's website it's listed as the 8998-MC. Also I need to know if the bootloader will be unlocked.

Some lte bands are missing. WiFi calling, volte, just about any carrier specific feature.

Anyone get tracking from Samsung on these unlocked ones?

I got tracking. Expecting it to hit my door tomorrow.

Is this still available? Has someone rooted with them? I was going to buy the Note 20 Ultra Exynos to be able to have call recording by changing the CSC to thailand ... but if I can have the snapdragon would be much better... Can anyone that has used that share their experience with this service? I would pay $150 to have the call recording. Even if don't want the LIMITATIONS of rooting but would prefer to have the better Battery life of the snapdragon... This seems like the only way to get call recording on a snapdragon phone...

Yes...goodluck..lol

All NA snapdragons are the same hardware regardless of carrier. They are unlockable via a paid process. Not a toggle like non north american snapdragons or exynos.

That's what I thought after reading a couple XDA comments about having to pay I'll see. But then I read an article where a guy like the rest of us was buying International versions for the last three or four years. And he said this year he bought the unlocked version for T-Mobile for better service and he routed it and unlock the bootloader all by himself. Basically by going into developer settings and checking the OEM unlock button like we used to do. Or like we still do with the exynos variants.. I appreciate you letting me know. I'll just buy International again. I'm not going to pay all that extra money.
