Hi All,
I bought the GS3 on a UK contract with t-mobile, however I immediately gave the sim to my other half, and instead chose to use my virgin sim card.
Do I still use the rooting guide stated for the GS3 t-mobile version?
(upon inserting the virgin sim the phone asked me what provider to use t-mobile or virgin...)
Help would be appreciated.
Coops
if you have a UK Galaxy S3 wouldn't that mean you have the non-US "international" version ?
In which case your phone is totally different from the one TMo is giving to us American folk... I'd ask in the 9300 forum to be honest.

Hi there, I've just received my Galaxy Nexus (i'm in the UK) and it seems to be an american model? Model number behind the battery is GT-19250M, but the sticker on the box is GT-19250TSGGEN? The phone also came in 2 boxes-the Samsung retail box with a 2 pin american power adaptor and that was in another box with a UK 3 pin plug. Before I use the device I just wanted to know from you guys if the USA model has HSPA+? Is the european model different? Do I need to send it back? Cheers

The International GSM gNex & the US (Play Store Device) have the same hardware, an I9250 is going to be HSPA+

Tmobile version vs internaltional version?
Guys,
Im planning to buy galaxy note 2 no commitment handset but im confused which one to go for. They are same priced. Since i came to US in fall 2011 i have never used a US locked phone. Im currently using htc hd2 (the legend).
My question is if i buy att phone and then unlock it will flashing new roms etc still be a problem compared to international version. Do they provide only a code to unlock the phone or a complete new rom to flash which removes att bootloader and drivers and makes it like an international version. The only difference i guess is about warranty and lte radio between the two variants. I do not care about lte radio since im mostly connected to wifi but i care a little aboutthe warranty.
Some questions might be stupid since im new to this us version phones so im sorry about it.
Thanx in advance for replying

Hi,
Can anyone tel-me what are the diferent Versions for the Note 2?
I have friends in the USA and the UK who can buy me one, but need to now if it works in Portugal.
Thanks for your help
Try Google Search
There are 2 versions of the phone
The 4G LTE one which only works and used in the U.S and they are locked aswell , so you cannot use your sim card in Portugal unless you unlock the phone(pain in the ass..)
There is the international one which works every where in the world (Unlocked) They use these in the UK aswell,
So if your going to get the phone get it from your friend from the UK
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.

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

I placed an order for my Note 8 using the Verizon website, they sent me an unlocked international version
Anyone else notice this?
It is an SM-N950U not an SM-N950V...
Also has no carrier branding, first time for me getting a Verizon phone with no branding lol
