What carrier are you on? If it's AT&T, what plan are you on? If it's T-Mobile you're screwed because the One X doesn't support their AWS bands and you'll only get EDGE (2G) speeds.

hi ,
with all these terms like hspa 850/1900 in canada , will it work with india'n networks as am getting one from canada, but am not sure it will work with our gsm n/w,
so anyone who has knowledge on this plz share...
Thanks
Im not sure what network is running in canada ... but if they use CDMA like america then no the phone wont work in India.
Another factor to concider is the fact that you might get a branded and sim locked device ... but this is a less important issue as it can easily be unlocked using htccodes.com services and you can get rid of the branding by rooting and loading a custom rom.
You should also be aware that if anything isnt working properly on the phone you wont be able to simply take it back to canada to fix and you wont have a garuntee on it either, this shouldnt happen though as HTC make good devices, but you never know ... If youre not willing to take that chance i would advise you to rather buy online as you can then get a phone with garuntee and it would be unlocked and shouldnt have any branding on it!
thanks for the info..but am planing to get sim free only and its gsm not cdma..my main concern is as i heard n/w in canada support only Technology HSPA 850/1900 wat does that mean ....... also so u mean to say there is no global warrenty available for htc...i want the phone in white color thats not available here thats y am getting it from canada in jan....
Hello ...
I searched but couldn't find a solid answer about the T Mobile variant of Galaxy S4 , and I am considering buying that full price maybe ... Back in 2011 T mobile coverage wasn't very good in my area , and I have been with Straight talk at&t SIM on my current S2 Skyrocket since then and the service isn't so great either ... So it would be very good for me to have a phone that can be used (ofcorse when unlocked) to work with both at&t and T mobile HSPA+ services , I don't care about LTE of both networks as it's not available ATM here so that's out of question ...
Will the T mobile Galaxy S4 have the bands required to connect to both at&t and T mobile HSPA services ? i.e the 850/1700/1900/2100 MHz frequencies ?
And just last question , what are the hardware differences between this S4 and the international I9500 device ?
Thanks

Can you tell me the country you live in.
This is needed because your phone might not support the 4G frequencies used in your country.

thanks, im in the Philippines, not really coz i do have a pocket wifi which suppports LTE and im having no problems with it. it's just that the phone is not picking up
i tried to do some research and found that my model SHV.. caters 1800 and 850 band for LTE, Smart telecom does cater 2100 and 1800, so that means that even if the phone doesnt support 2100, i should be able to get LTE through 1800 band..
thank you

Im from mindanao. i bought this from a friend
Dear all,
I am living in India and I'm planning to buy an M8. Since the phone is officially not available anymore, I am getting one from eBay, which is a US imported one. [ Linky ].
Though the seller is saying that 4G is working for Indian SIMs, I am a bit suspicious. I am using Airtel 4G SIM ATM and am planning to root/install new ROMs. Suppose if the phone supports 4G initially and after flashing ROM will it affect the bands? How do I find that out?
Any help is appreciated.
flashing roms won't touch the radio ( the bands that device supports ) it will be intact
so if the stock out of the box status support your carrier network then any rom will work just fine

Thanks mate. I believe the seller himself has worked around with ROMs to make the 4G work. If I flash a new ROM it won't kill the phone right?

Flashing rom doesnt change the LTE band . If its US imported phone then IMO only verizon supports indain LTE band . Even that model only supports one band not all and m8 is not volte supported . Airtel calling will be fine as it use rollback to 3g for calling .
I am from india too . Market price for 4g m8 is about 10 k . These phone (mostly) are not new , they are refurbished . I have bought 5 m8 from ebay .
Hit THANKS if somebody help you

Thanks for the reply mate. I don't care about refurbished ones, as I am buying this only for the audio. Could you please tell me how to identify a 'refurbished' phone?

Check sim slot..it will be of different colour as comaperd to housing .
Match imei on sim slot, box and phone real. All should be same.
Charging port/ audio jack should be in new condtion, no used sign in there .
No quality seal ( i have seen some white seal on refurbished) .
Bootloader menu ( should be s-on and locked ) . If opened or used then it will tempered as all varaint comes as international unlock so need for software programming.

Additionally, if it is the Verizon version, it will possibly have the back cover replaced. Verizon version M8 has the Verizon logo on the back like this, which when resold as "unbranded, etc." will have the back cover replaced with one without any carrier logo.
In this case, the model number on the back will often not match what is shown in fastboot getvar all.
Hey guys one guy is selling 9pro only gsm working chinese rom should I buy it .
Can you elaborate what do you mean by only GSM working? Or by GSM you mean only GSM for calls and text or only edge {E} network instead of 3G,4G,5G , the only reason I can think of is that back when I was there China Mobile was using TD SCDMA and is this a TD LTE phone? Thats what you meant? Or by GSM only you mean GSM is working wifi not working? Or a software bug?
depends on the price. let me know cause otherwise i will
