Does it work on AT&T's LTE network? Anyone?
The phone does not have LTE hardware/radios. So there is no need to try it.
My mistake. I assumed the Euro version was LTE enabled.

Totally agree with pops without the 700 or AWS LTE Bands no way jose!
Hi,
I'm also wondering about LTE here in Canada on Rogers. LTE is on 2100 Mhz here. Has anyone tried entering settings and which network types are available? GSM, WCDMA, etc...?
To help clear up some confusion. There is no currently available Galaxy Note for sale that supports LTE. Here is what the European version supports.
GSM/GPRS
Frequencies 850/900/1800/1900
3G/HSPA
Frequencies 850/900/1900/2100 (Quad-Band)
LTE: No
WiMax: No
The upcoming Korean version may have LTE, but we will need to wait and see.
There are over a dozen bands worldwide approved for LTE. Just because a phone has an LTE radio doesn't mean it will work with a specific carrier. Unless they come up with a universal LTE radio that supports a dozen bands we're all kind of screwed as there won't be any roaming and we'll have to buy phones directly from the carriers. VZW and AT&T both use the 700MHz spectrum but because of slight differences in the frequency their radios are not compatible. LTE's going to be a mess.
Hello,
Not sure if this possible but my Note 4 sadly isnt receiving LTE at the moment. AT&T requires 700 mhz for LTE in my area and my phone does have 700mhz, but on band 28 in stead of band 17. IS it possible to flash my phone to use band 17 instead of band 28? Any help is appreciated.
They are different bands so it won't work...
Hey guyz my phone is on a carrier lock before with 2,100 LTE bands how can I switch since it is openline already I need the 1,800 LTE bands? thanks for future answers!
Is there any possibility to unlock a TDD LTE band (B38 2600MHz TDD) on the international/european version of Galaxy S5, which officialy supports only FDD (as any other Samsung device sold in Europe)? The chipset is the same with the TDD version of S5 (SM-G9008V) sold in China, so it's just a firmware limitation. I've read this thread but nobody confirmed the functionality of any TDD band.
On my G900FD I have set the two NV items to only band B38 and it seems not to work. Even the Service app (*#0011#) shows an empty list for the supported LTE bands. I also tried setting all bands, quite a few additional bands were shown but the app doesn't seem to be good enough to display a longer list of LTE bands so no idea where it ended. It is possible that for this model the stock firmware does not even bother to check whether the TDD bands are enabled. I also tried to connect to B38 from CM12.1 latest nightly but B38 was not found and I have not found yet a method to read the supported LTE bands from CM.
LE: I tried and only added B38 to the stock 1/2/3/5/7/8/20 and B38 didn't show up in the service menu.
Seem their no develop working on band enables.
I'm thinking about getting an N9860 since it seems to be the cheapest Snapdragon option for a Note 20 Ultra.
This phone appears to support all the necessary bands for my carrier (Koodo) in Canada except LTE band 17. I live in a big city so this low-ish frequency band will be important for reception in areas with building density.
I've seen discussions around changing the CSC to potentially unlock additional bands, but I'm having trouble understanding whether that means all Snapdragon models support the same bands.
Could anyone provide clarification about this? Has anyone managed to unlock band 17 on this HK/CN model?
AFAIK, you can not unlock bands. I'm in Canada too but with Fido and Korean N986N. No band 17, but the reception has been fine so far aside from VOLTE and wifi calling not working.
