I saw on a previous post that our phones have the 4G LTE bands

I saw on a previous post that our phones have the 4G LTE bands. This might have been for the ATT Tmobile merger but since that isn't happening there is something else that we could probably use it for. Tmobile is going to come out with 4G LTE but the devices dont include the SGS2. Can we get our LTE bands to work on the new Tmobile's 4G LTE?

Why didn't you post this on the other thread instead of creating a new one?

There is a thread for this already.
And our LTE chip is disabled...
So no....
M&S

only the rocket i727 version has the LTE chip, and can be flashed to run either HSPA AWS 1700 or LTE AWS 1700
details are on the R&D topic in DEV

Little point asking your question here.
What you have purchased is not a Note II, and isn't going to be compatible with *any* Note II ROMs.
http://www.chinasmartphonereview.com/i7100-galaxy-note-clone/
It may look like a Note II, but that is where the similarity ends.

I know its not a real Note 2 . I was just wondering if there was anything compatible with it . Thanks though .

I'm in Ann Arbor Michigan at the moment. Yeah I've heard T-Mobile is letting the frequency 1900 get full 3G/4G . I heard that Seattle, Las Vegas, Washington, DC, and the New York metro are going to be the first to get it. I'm not getting 3G in my area though . Idk why. Oh and by the when you get your phone, the battery might seem like its running down fast at first but after a couple of charges it lasts longer.

Thanks for that info Alexander. Who did you order yours from? How long did it take to get to you?

Something already went wrong . I tried to get a new bootanimation and sofbricked my phone.. Preloader appers and disappears. I think its my USB (My dog ate the one that came with the phone) OH! The charging port on the phone needs a longer pin to go in the phone just in case you mess up the one that came with the phone. Lol. Im getting a new one.. I'm broke now.. BUT the one I'm getting looks JUST like the Note and it has a stylus ! and this is the amazing part.. It has a 12.0 mp camera and 720p display. I need a life :/

differences between international version vs. t-mobile

Are there any differences? Is the model number of the t-mobile note2 N7100 or not? Thanks guys!

Both devices have the same exact hardware EXCEPT for the following;
the note 2 n7100 (international) has an FM Radio in-built and has only 3G speeds (No LTE Radio built in)
- it is also unlocked, however, no manufacturer warranty if you are buying in the US
the tmobile note 2 (SGH-T889) is carrier locked (can be unlocked for free)
- has a US warranty
- Has LTE but no FM radio
- Carrier-software modifications; T-Mobile today made available a new firmware which allows multi-view (previously disabled)

Thanks for the quick reply. A question though, would the LTE work on countries outside the US? And would i be able to receive future updates too if I am going to use it outside the US?

Correct me if I'm wrong, the inductive charging is also disabled by hardware on the T-Mobile variant. Basically Samsung didn't connect a wire. Lol

LTE would work depending whether or not that country has the same 4G LTE bands like the US. You will be able to receive future updates too if you are going to use it outside the US.

No networks listed under *#197328640#

Hi everyone,
I have a SCH-R530C with 4.1.2. I want to unlock it to BRING it to T-Mobile. The phone was originally on Cricket. When I use the "*#197328640# etc, etc..." method.. it does not bring up any options under networks. Is there any solution to this?
Thank you!

Downgrade your baseband.

And this goes without saying usually but use a baseband for SCH-530C, NOT a T-Mobile baseband or you might brick.

Ya that makes sense. With the downgrade does it allow me do the method mentioned above. Also, I don't mean to ask for too much.. But can someone point me in the right direction to find it? This model seems rare.

I'm pretty sure you should be in the Verizon forum, or maybe Sprints.

It would be Verizon. The model number is exactly the same between the two just Cricket has a C - hard to believe they didn't launch with a 4.1.1 ROM though... Let me do a quick search.

That's why I mentioned Verizon first. But it seems it may not be so simple any more.
The recently released Straight Talk SCH-S960 belongs in the Sprint forums. I spent a couple of days helping a couple of people find and verify this.
So it probably does belong in the Verizon area, but w/o looking I can't say for sure.
It seems these latest models are all now shipping with 4.1.2. (T999L, SCH-S960, SCH-R530....)

It makes sense that the St version is Sprint - all of their Android phones are Sprint. They don't want to pay what At&t and Verizon want for smartphones. Sprint gives em cheap at wholesale.
The R530 seems to be the same for Verizon, MetroPCS, and Us Cellular. From research, the JB update was a 4.1.2 radio - also some are saying that the ICS radio might not even work with that workaround. The MetroPCS version appears to be the exact same as the Cricket version so it should be safe to flash. Emphasis on should.

Right, and that's where the confusion came from. ST was expected to be with Sprint forums, but the SCH, made people think it was Verizon (and a few thought T-Mobile since ST uses their towers in some places apparently). I was just trying to point out that we can't always go by the prefix in the model number anymore. Why they did this.....I wish I knew!
So when they were updated to JB are you saying it skipped 4.1.1? Sorry if I'm getting myself confused or misunderstanding you.
And I'd have to look, but I thought the unlock worked for ics too. But I could be wrong.
Also POSSIBLE, but not recommended, is flashing another models radio. Most of the S3's have the same partition layout. I know several that have flashed other radios w/o bricking. It didn't work, but it didn't hurt anything either. Could it be possible to do this just to unlock, then go back to stock radio?
For example, AT&T users and T-Mobile users have tried each other's radios. All T999 variants can safely flash each other's radios too. They may not work at all, or only partially, but they were able to simply reflash their correct ones. This makes me think that as a last resort it could be attempted. I do not and will not recommend it since I know next to nothing about the 530, but figured I'd throw it out there in case anyone wants to look into it.

The Us Cellular version actually supports more bands than the Cricket version...
Cricket: Frequencies and Data Type: LTE Dual-band: Band 2 (1900MHz), Band 4 (AWS); CDMA 1x/EVDO Rev A, Tri-band: 800/AWS/1900MHz*
Us Cellular: Frequencies and Data Type: LTE Quad-band : Band 2 (1900MHz), Band 4 (AWS), Band 5 (850MHz), Band 12 (700MHz) CDMA 1x/EVDO Rev A, Tri-band : 800/AWS/1900MHz*

I wish one day they will just sale you one hardware with all carriers bands enable and none carrier branded. LTE phones now days uses a sim card to get data and works with calls too. Make it like international here in the us. Buy a phone and your free to use it on any carrier lmao. One hardware for all. No more difference between the international and us. Now newer devices are like that. Like the htc one and the s4 but we still need carrier approval for updates. Also I dont see why carriers have to put bloatware on phones when you can get them on the play store.

The biggest issue is all the different frequencies in use... And its going to get worse with the 600 spectrum sale. There are an insane amount of bands and technologies in use.
And then there are companies like Verizon that are anti-consumer... That's not going anywhere.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the S4 was the same as the S3 regarding international vs US. I heard its more compatible between US versions, but not with international since it once again gets the best processor (Exynos octo core) while we get the Qualcomm quad core one. This time we don't even get more memory. Still 2GB.
The international also uses a different graphics processor. Not sure if it's better, but it is different.

The US and most of the world are all on Qualcomm chips in the S4. Korea got the Exynos as did most of Africa and Asia in general while the US, Canada, and Europe all got Qualcomm.
That new S4 would be perfect for T-Mobile once they have lit up full LTE since they're deploying LTE-Advanced out the gate.

ok, I wasn't sure about that, thanks for clarifying it. It's no wonder sales aren't meeting expectations. It's basically the international S3 with US memory! (I know there's more to it, but when you really simplify it....)
I was thinking the same on the new S4. Don't see any indication one way or another if T-Mobile will actually get it though. And oh how I hope we do!
I can potentially see many unhappy original S4 buyers soon! (Look how upset some are over the T999L!)
I'll leave it there on my end, seeing as we are now just a little bit off topic!

Yeah like I said before.. The US GS4 being able to flash roms from the International is a huge + for me.
How about that iPhone? I always heard that it supports all global bands? If Samsung didnt had several different hardware between the phones like for international and us. It would be easier for them to push updates. And be cheaper for them too.. Not having to work on several hardware difference for an update. Maybe they got that idea and started to make the phones with same hardware like the S4.. I was waiting for fathers day to see if tmobile would have an offer for the s4 and they didnt

T-Mobile's "offer" for the iPhone 5 wasn't even really an offer anyway - its all based on their trade in program now. But they did slash 50 bucks off the S4 until 7/30 when it goes back to 149 down and 20 a month.
As for the iPhone being global, didn't they have some super custom crazy modem made for that though?
