How did you get the GSM i9250 working on Wind? I'm trying to find a T-mobile version with AWS 1700/2100.

Its called a pentaband phone for a reason.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
A phone could an infa-band, but if it hasn't got AWS 1700/2100, it's useless to me. Other forums, sites and Wind have said the T-mobile (AWS) version is the only one that'll work. If the penta band version includes AWS frequencies, that'll be the reason it works.
Look up pentaband. There is no T-Mobile galaxy nexus.
It will work. Not really sure how that isn't clear by the number of people using the galaxy nexus on T-Mobile.

There are only 5 3G frequencies that cell phones use (outside of Japan): 850, 900, AWS, 1900, 2100. If a device is called "penta-band", that means it supports networks that work on any of those 5 specific frequencies, not 5 random frequencies. With tri-band and quad-band devices, it's a different story, as there could be multiple versions of devices, but a penta-band device covers all the bands.
On a separate note, thread move to Q&A.
Does anybody know where to find Radio images for Galaxy Nexus?
Thank you,

So Galaxy Note 2 has now got 5 models to be released shortly, here is the breakdown
International : GT-N7100
Verizon : SCH-I605
TMob : SGH-T889
Sprint : SPH-L900
AT&T : SGH-I317
Thanks to Evan
AT&T : 850 cellular/1900 PCS GSM/UMTS & 700MHz (Band class 17) LTE
Verizon : 850 cellular/1900 PCS CDMA/EVDO & 700MHz (Band class 13) LTE
Sprint : 800 SMR/1900 PCS CDMA/EVDO & 1900MHz LTE
T-Mob : 1900 PCS GSM/UMTS & 1700/2100 (AWS) UMTS
Seems like they will all have Quad Core Exynos with a seperate LTE chip
My question is does that mean we will be having five different model forums, or is it possible to have only the current one for all the models, since they are pretty much the same Exynos + LTE.
I hope not......i hope they each have their own

Interesting question.. I think that as far as you dont flash a different radio(assuming that the main difference its the band) you would be good to go.. an example of this happens on the Gtab 7+ variants.. mine its 6800n(different band for south america) and i can flash any rom from the other variants 6800/6800h no problem.. just keep my radio..
There is two international versions:
N7100: 3G only
N7105: LTE
And yes they will most likely get the same forum with seperate development sub-forums.
One thing I wonder about, here in Sweden the LTE frequencies is 800/900/2600 MHz.
It means that when we get LTE it will be different from the international version and developer support will be non-existent or can we flash international roms if the only difference is LTE frequencies?

Each carrier wants to have complete control on what is in the phone and what they want to cripple. I'm heavily considering the International version this time but will wait for all the details to come first.

Also, UK has just released LTE on 1800mhz band, any idea if Note 2 will support it?
(it would be really really stupid from Samsung, if they didnt, but it's still a possibility)

carriers use different frequencies and network technologies (CDMA or GSM)
I hope they do have a separate one, as they did with the Galaxy S3...it was really confusing at times.

Soooo, its (worldwide) just Verizon & Sprint (or let´s say it´s JUST sprint) that causes this fragmentation?
i have never bought an international version either but if it comes out sooner i will since i would like to travel a lot...
will the international version for any reason not be as good as the eventual verizon version for me in regards to anything....4g speed, roming, etc...
thx!
No need for me.to get the international versions anymore I guess,since the processors are the same.

No, there is also fragmentation between AT&T and T-mobile versions. They use different frequencies for 3G (HSPA+) so an AT&T phone will not work on T-mobile and vice versa. You'd need a pentaband phone (e.g. Galaxy Nexus) to cover AT&T, T-mobile, and international gsm networks.

Hey all. I am looking to purchase a galaxy s 3. Would a t mobile galaxy work over seas or do I need an international one? Thanks.
Yes, it will work. The T-Mobile S III has quad-band GSM/EDGE/HSPA+ support.
So in that case id be better off buying one out of contract and using one of the Korean providers when I go over seas? Do you know if the international one would work?

Either version will work. Both are quad-band GSM/EDGE/HSPA+. The difference is that the T-Mobile version supports 1700 MHz HSPA+, while the international version ditches that, and supports 900 MHz HSPA+ instead.

What exactly does 1700 MHz HSPA+ and 900 MHz HSPA mean??? Everything ive found says GSM phones dont work but those were outdated by a few years. Did GSM phones just start working there recently?

It's not penta-band. It doesn't have 900 MHz HSPA+ support.

Those are just bands that the phones support. And GSM is a world standard, it should work in Korea, and HSPA+ should work too as it supports the 2100 MHz band.
Wifi calling is an option too.
Hi there,
Can anyone confirm for sure and tested the following question:
How many bands for GSM, HSDPA and LTE does the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 (M919) have? Are they the same bands as the International S4 LTE (I9505)?
Based on the wikipedia page for Samsung Galaxy S4, the model I9505 has more LTE bands than the T-Mobile M919 version, is that completely true and technically proven?
Most of the websites state that the M919 and the I9505 has the same bands for all GSM, HSDPA and LTE.
I appreciate if someone can lead me to the ultimate answer.
Thanks.
Tmobile uses AWS for 4g LTE which requires 2100/1700 frequency. The GT-i9505 only supports 2100mhz i believe, which is not enough.
I think the GT-i9505 supports one of the several frequencies that Tmobile uses for HDSPA, so HDSPA coverage may be a bit spotty with the phone. This was referenced off the top of my head, but I had done some research online about this before as I had similar questions as you.

You can find all the information on the Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4
I9505 lacks the 1700MHz LTE band which is needed in T-Mobile LTE.
That's weird, I can swear that wiki page had different information yesterday about the I9505 LTE bands

Hey so looking at the wiki that you guys posted up there it says following for the tmobile version: 700 MHz (Band 17), CLR, AWS, PCS, IMT, IMT-E
now i somehow got my hand on one of these devices in europe for rather cheap and totally new, so im confused now what these CLR, AWS, PCS, IMT, IMT-E are, does any of these stand for any other than the 700mhz band? like 1700/1800mhz? or in other words, is it possible to get lte to work in europe with the tmobile usa s4? Can the modem perhaps be flashed with an i9505 one and than get the additional bands or is the hardware actualyl that different (as in antennas and amplifiers)?
Its not really a dealbreaker for me as LTE in my country is quite some time away but still, would like to know.
thanks
In simple words, the LTE bands are (not in order): Band 1 (2100), Band 2 (1900), Band 4 (1700), Band 5 (850), Band 7 (2600), Band 17 (700), so we have the LTE bands available for the T-Mobile version: 700, 850, 1700, 1900, 2100 and 2600.

No, you can't flash a I9505 rom to a M919 device, if you do, you will brick it. The best option for you to get 800 and 1800 frequencies is to go for the GT-I9505, it's the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE version, and it has the following bands for LTE Cat 3 (800 / 850 / 900 / 1,800 / 2,100 / 2,600 MHz). This is the official Samsung page: http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/smartphone/GT-I9505ZKAXSA-spec

Yes, it seems that the I9505 has LTE bands for each region, it's not dedicated for America (North, Central and South), it also support Europe and Asia, while it doesn't contain most bands for a specific region, it's a world phone, unlucky doesn't fully support T-Mobile 4G UTMS network (1700/2100), but still a good option for those who travel to other continents.

I bought my S4 T-mobile (SGH-M919) in USA. And it is fine working in Spain with 4G. But when i have upgraded it to Marshmallow then only works with HSPA(H+) as better. Change baseband? i am not sure to do it...mmmm
I may be being dense here, but I wanted to make sure because this is an expensive device. Can the OnePlus 3T North American version be used in GSM networks in Europe and Asia?

Am I right to assume this means it comes with GSM out of the box, with modifications for CDMA depending on which country I am ordering it from?
Simply check which bands are available in countries you intend to use the phone in and compare that to supported bands.

So to clarify, let's say I am travelling to Singapore for instance, and they use GSM, I will be able to use my N. American version right because it also supports GSM along with the CDMA.

Exact frequencies of bands used are also important. The phone does support both GSM and CDMA, but you need to make sure it supports the right GSM bands.

Yup, those bands are supported. 2G at both freqs and 3G and 4G at 900. So you're good to go
