I'm looking into getting one of these & have a very good priced Sim Only deal with O2.
Anyone know where I can get the 4G LTE Version (model N7105) & does it come unlocked to all Networks (Preferably in Grey) ?
I'm thinking of going this route so I can see how the whole 4G situation works out in the UK & it would mean I could later get a Sim Only 4g deal.
No reponses ?
In the meantime, I have found that Orange UK sell the LTE version, so I could buy it there & then get it unlocked.
I would save your money until o2 have LTE enabled.... By then the note 3 (or 4) will be out.

Vodafone store they come factory unlocked

O2 dont have LTE yet. Get a normal N7100 and save your money. The N7100 has better battery life than the N7105. I know because I had them both and Now settled with N7100. I bought mine from amazon but make sure when you buy from there it is directly amazon selling the phone not a third party seller.

Can't find it as PAYG on the site, is this in store only ?
If O2 has dc-hsdpa the n7105 will still get faster speeds than an n7100 even without 4g/lte, as the n7100 doesn't support dc-hsdpa whereas the n7105 does.

Anyone know for sure if the O2 Payg model is the LTE (7105) version ? I have done online chat with 2 different advisors, 1 says yes the other says no !
This is slightly cheaper than Orange & I wouldnt have to get it unlocked for my sim.

I hope you won't regret your purchase due to battery drain. Enjoy your new toy.

Coming from a THC One X I doubt it ! :laugh:
Plus with the LTE the resale value should be a bit better & I have the option of getting a 4g payg sim down the line

Anyone know what the official firmware for Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 for Canada is? I'm having trouble locating which one I should flash from D/L mode.

+1, I bought mine last week. It came with N5110XXBMC9 too. I checked samMobile. XXBMC9 is the oldest. And there is no country for Canada. So, can I ues other country firmware? like US(celluar south).

did you find your answer?
I am a bit confused at which G3 is best for use in the UK.
I'm on EE and have seen that all the Korean models support the necessary networks, but I have been told that they don't work fantastically.
What are the facts?
Thanks in advance.

Handtec sell the european 3/32 version of the G3 for 509.99 maybe that's a safer bet?

Maybe, and thanks for the information as that seems like a good price, but I would really like a definitive answer before spending £500!

I have read some who have the Korean version have issues with it not seeing 4G or losing 4G after a reboot and the European 3/32 version supports all LTE bands within the UK so there won't be any issues with it working in the UK on EE or any other network.
Also you cannot cross flash ie a D855 firmware onto K400 or vice versa.
Thanks for the information both of you.
I think I'll go with the EU version to make sure.
Just for clarity, the D855 is the EU version, and the F400/K400 are the Korean versions?

I've found a D855 for under £450, new. I just have to work out if the seller can be trusted.

You can buy it from Amazon.de for almost the same price, plus you have the amazon return policy which is pretty good.

So Guys, I have just bought New an M9 Unlocked/Developer edition.
My question is will it run OK in the UK on O2 or do I need to change the radio?
OS : 4.14.617.6
Radio : 01.01.U11440971_103.00.61018G_F
I'm sure one of you clever people will know.

According to the frequency band chart, the device is 100% compatible on all bands using O2.....
Take a look at this page I've located....including the APN settings information.
https://apn-uk.gishan.net/en/device/htc-one-m9
You should be good based on the correct APN settings....g

Good find, except it doesn't specifically answer the question.
I know these phones work in the UK its just whether I need a different Radio.
Thanks
Right, the Unlocked/Developer edition will not update the software...I've been down this road before.
Once again I have bought a counterfeit M9, this time from Amazon...
And once again no one cares...
Meanwhile I still haven't got a mobile phone.
Anyone now where I can buy and original HTC M9 in the UK please?

Oh no !!
This is twice ??
Amazon will take it back....if you claim warranty against it.....especially if you are beyond the 30 day return window.
I had a camera that I bought last year that was a sony clone....and at 45 days out I sent it back under warranty...
I sent them an email and explained....then they issued an RMA..
I bid you good luck !!!...g

Just spoken to HTC, thankfully this one is not a counterfeit....
BUT
It is meant for the American market, which means it wont work in this country!!!
I've never had so much trouble buying a phone.
So I have given up with HTC and am buying a Sony as I can get a free PS4 with it!!
I would be mad not to!!

Both versions will get updates and work as if they identical. The only difference you will see is performance and battery. In which snapdragon outperforms on note 10. Both support same LTE band, so yes Virgin 4g should work.
Got one too.
Using Vodafone UK, volte calling and WiFi calling both work.
Great phone and performance

Actually, it kind of depends on which Snapdragon model you are getting.
N975U/U1/W have pretty much every band under the sun, but are single-SIM.
N9750 is missing a few bands compared to the above, but apparently covers everything in use in the UK. It is dual-SIM.

The 9750 has a less locked down firmware, but the N975U1 will get the Android 10 beta.
Living in the UK, I would go for the 9750. You are getting more features at the end of the day.
Got my Snapdragon version a few days ago. Reception and WiFi cover is much better.
I am now selling my exynos UK model lol

Stock Hong Kong ROM. English language. Full EE 4G support on both VoLTE and WiFi Calls.
Battery life is much better. Reception is also improved. Highly recommended!

Just to be clear on this.....You and No one else should try to flash U.K firmware on the SM-N9750.
On the SM-N9750 you can only flash (BRI) Taiwan firmware, or (TGY) Hongkong firmware.

I think the last October patch came a few days ago, where the Exynos model got it a few weeks back. So no! They have their own update policy not mirroring the Exynos dates.
I got it from eBay. Do a quick search. The device was shipped from a "Swiss" Wearhouse - based on the seller. The good part was no import taxes. Ordered Tuesday, got it one week later!

I may have just ordered from the same seller .. it says it's from Switzerland .. I have a concern that even though the advert says it's new and they say in their listing that its brand new I'm worried that it may actually be refurbished and how would we know ?
---------- Post added at 13:05 ---------- Previous post was at 13:03 ----------
Is there a way to know for sure that the phone is brand new? The seller told me that all their phones are genuine and brand new but they said that most of their phones they open the box to make sure the phones are ok ...
This worried me a bit because if they are saying its brand new then i would expect an unopened box

Someone told me that he got the SD version on Ebay and the phone struggles to play 4k videos including YouTube whereas his exynos version has no problem
Have any of you had the same problem? Why would this happen
