[Q] T-889, N7100, or N7105

I'd really to get on T-Mobile's prepaid plans or Solavei and I'm not sure which device would be the smartest to purchase. I live in Portland, OR if that helps. It seems like they all offer upsides but I'd be willing to spend a bit more for the device that will be the most future proof (if that's possible).

I'm on a Tmo value plan, and where I'm at, there is almost no Magenta coverage. I got the T889 for the WiFi calling and maybe, just maybe, for the LTE. When and if Tmo ever brings real 4G to our area, I'll already be running the right device.

The T-Mobile version seems to be the one to go with considering the pentaband 3G radio hardware. The inclusion of the LTE radio is also a big plus. None of the other Note2 models work on everyone's 3G like the Note2 does.

Keep in mind if you purchase the n7100 international it won't actually work on T-Mobile's HSPA+ network and instead you will be treated to its 200ish kbps speeds, and on a super phone like the Note 2 that's just sad. :crying: Take it from someone who's used the International Edition Note1 on their prepaid for a few months now...it SUCKED! I'm now on their Value plan with the GN2 and the phone and the download speeds are exceptional!
Hope this helps!

Thanks guys! That helps immensely.

I am using the tmobile version on solavei and love it. Plus you wont have to unlock the phone if you go with Solavei.

Yeh, the T-Mobile version has all the right hardware for the USA. Not only does it include the 1700 MHz band needed for current hi-speed T-Mo 3G in most places, and LTE capability that should work on T-Mo and ATT when ready, but it's 42Mbps capable, too. The N7100 has none of that. The N7105 has 42Mbps but still no 1700 MHz, and the LTE probably won't work in the US.
BTW, T-Mo is upgrading towers to provide hi-speed 3G via 1900 MHz band, which the N7100/05 support, but it's not widely available yet.
Now let's just hope CyanogeMod comes to the T-Mo Note II, since the N7100 is officially supported. That would make it THE best cellphone in the world IMO.

Agreed! That's what I'm chomping at the bit for right now-some CM LOVE! This is by far the most function packed stock software, but it's over-bloated IMO. I want speed and infinite customizations!
This conversation brings up a good point though. Has anyone found a good source for the differences of the models and what will or won't work on all three of them i.e. n7100, n7105, and the T889? It was easy with the first Note because it was your either qualcomm or exynos, but now all Note 2's are Exynos. I can imagine many bricks happening if there are major unknown hardware differences.

Yeah, that would be great. Im looking for a site where I can see if the n7100 is the same in the outside (housing) as t889.
Since I know that the front crystal is the same for all three models, att, international and tmo. Also that the plastic back door (battery door) is the same on the att and the tmo models. Not yet sure if the n7100 also because I havent opened one of does yet (n7100), the other two are the same in plastic housing too. Thats great at time of replacing parts.

The i317 t889 n7100 have same housings.
ALSO
In the link I provided before you can see that there are only two real differences between them:
Cellular Networks:
TMobile t889 GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1700/1900/2100
N7100 GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100
Maximum Speed Download: t889 (42 Mbps) N7100 (21 Mbps)

Get a t889. Im using tmobile pre paid plan on my note 2 and my wife is running solavei on hers. Everything runs fine and speeds are fine. I try to compared using both my tmobile and solavei on a unlock n7105 and n7100 and speeds arent that great. Feels like im running on edge for some reason.

You need umts band 1700 to run tmobile 4g. So yes you where on edge on the n7000 since the only model with band 1700 is the t889

Nights SPIDER is correct, but I'm going to clarify a bit in case anyone else stumbles across this in the future.
The other two models will only get T-Mobile 3G speeds when in a refarmed area that T-Mobile has 1900MHz bands. Most of the country is still rocking the 1700MHz band, so those two models won't work at all on it and only get EDGE speeds.

[Q] How to enable LTE ?

Vodafone New Zealand has just rolled out 4g lte where i live (auckland) 1800mhz. The problem is they're charging twice as much for half the bandwith !! Now i believe they're providing software updates to enable lte capable devices including my own (N7100) & am wondering if anyone here knows of a workaround to hook into the network. & also what their software update would consist of (modem maybe) ? Cheers.

N7100 does not have LTE. You will not be able to use that feature. N7105 has LTE.

Just spoke to the carrier & N7100 is good to go. Apparently they need to push something from their end to the sim & i should get a 4G connection. Any ideas ??

I got my note 2 from jb hi fi and they were selling LTE Vodafone NZ model. I can't confirm if the 4g works as I am on 2 degrees. I am pretty much sure that 4g enabled phones means LTE
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2

Voda's 4G is LTE. The N7100 does not have LTE-capable hardware, the N7105 variant is explicitly for the purposes of adding LTE & DC-HSPA+ support. However, Vodafone NZ do not sell the N7100, only the N7105, so if you got your Note II from Voda directly, you're good to go.
Any CSRs confused on this hardware distinction are mistaken. There is no way to enable 4G on an N7100.
If you're lucky enough to have an N7105, then you'll need their $10 4G upgrade each month, assuming you're on an eligible plan. The $120+ plans include it. Doubt anyone will be able to authenticate onto LTE without the upgrade product, it seems pretty well secured.

You may have to call your provider to change your data plan to fit what the phone requires
PS:this phone will never work on T-Mobile's 3G or 4G network but it will work on 2G

No that wouldn't be fine!
The most likely cause of your issue is that your phone doesn't have an APN set up for your network. Doing this should at least get your data working.
However, as far as an aware, the N7102 does not support TMo's AWS bands which means at best you'll get EDGE and not 3G.
If we were talking about an international N7100, I'd also add a point about getting 3G on 1900MHz if TMo had refarmed the spectrum for 3G in your area, but since it is a Duo, I don't know if this supports 1900MHz.
Do a search for N7102 and you'll find an entire thread about the N7102 in the US.

Dave

Though I don't live in US, I don't think you could add phone feature by changing the rom.

I think you would have to have the international version that permits calls. I'm not sure if that will work in the states though because of frequencies etc.
Galaxy Note 8.0 Xposed Build N5120XXCMH2 / Baseband N5120XXBMD9 / Kernel CivZ-SphereXtreme-REV on Telstra LTE

If you're looking at the AT&T branded Note 8, SGH-i467, there's a thread in this forum on getting the phone capability enabled. I don't think anyone has been totally successful doing that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2430527
If VoIP will sufficiently meet your calling needs, you'll be fine with that model. If you don't want to deal with the idiosyncrasies associated with VoIP, get the international version, GT-N5100. The LTE frequencies won't work on AT&T's or T-Mobile's networks so you'll be at HSPA+ speeds, but it is a true 8" smartphone.

I bought one from amazon and it had calling capability. Should be the same for all of them.

The are different variants of the Note 8. Some have phone capability and some do not. The most common variant sold in the US (in Best Buy and big box stores) is WiFi only. The model sold in AT&T stores has LTE, but the phone functionality has been removed. The N5100, available thro some Amazon vendors, its a true smartphone, but only works on AT&T and T-Mobile's HSPA+ network.

I use a note 8 LTE as my phone here in UK and am absolutly loving it....had to change from 3 mobile to O2 as 3 dont allow phone sims in tablets, seems O2 do cos its been working fine for about 3-4 weeks.
Rather than look foolish with a tablet next to my ear I purchased a galaxy gear which is not fully working as I am on stock 4.2.
Got rid of my note 2 and note 10.1 and have just a note 8, best thing I ever did!!!

I am using the SM-T325 on AT&T. I upgraded from the Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5100, and I simply swapped out the SIM card. I can confirm the tablet is able to send/receive voice calls, but so far it looks like I've only been able to achieve HSPA+ mobile data rates. The stock ROM allows you to select LTE/WCDMA/GSM network mode by default, but the status bar only shows the "H+" indicator. Using OOKLA speed test, I've been able to achieve around 9Mbps down, which is the same as my iPhone 5 and HTC One with LTE. Maybe it is a coverage issue?
I've rooted the tablet, and my apps are able to access the SD card using SDFix. However, I have not been able to successfully install a custom recovery like TWRP 2.7.0.1. I don't know if the radio can support faster mobile data rates, but so far the download speed has been similar to my Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5100, iPhone 5 and HTC One, which is good enough for me. On the other hand, the display quality and battery life are superior to the GT-N5100, so I am very happy with the SM-T325.

There will not be a software reason that your speeds are limited. I would expect coverage might be an issue because I expect the HTC One to have higher speeds than that. I don't believe LTE is possible on ATT or T-Mobile though.

Yeah you won't get LTE on that tablet in the US. The International SM-T325, just like all other international unlocked Samsung LTE devices, specifically locks out US LTE bands. Samsung most likely does this on purpose because they don't want people importing them to the US and taking business away from their carrier partners. It's probably the same reason why they don't directly sell unlocked devices direct to US consumers like, for instance, HTC does. So, yeah, if you use one of those on any US carrier, the most you're ever going to see is HSPA+, unfortunately. When it comes to Samsung devices and LTE in the US, you either buy it from a carrier, or GTFO.
On that note, I really wish AT&T would launch the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 already. I want that tablet really bad, but refuse to buy a WiFi-only version

I hate AT&T and their lousy selection of Android tablets and even worse updates. I bought the Note 8.0 LTE and am still stuck on 4.1. Here's an idea. I bought a used TMobile Note 10.1 2014 LTE and unlocked it to run on AT&T. Now to sell the Note 8.0! I do miss the form factor, though.

Yeah I don't know what the hell happened with the Note 8.0 on AT&T. That 4.1.2 ROM still has that annoying freeze problem that Samsung fixed in the 4.2.2 update. Some variants of that tablet are getting KitKat now so hopefully AT&T and Samsung will actually roll this one out to the I467 since they skipped 4.2.2.

I hate AT&T and their lousy selection of Android tablets and even worse updates. I bought the Note 8.0 LTE and am still stuck on 4.1. Here's an idea. I bought a used TMobile Note 10.1 2014 LTE and unlocked it to run on AT&T. Now to sell the Note 8.0! I do miss the form factor, though.

zombie thread, I know. Running our t325 on T-MO. I haven't heard of any dev coming up with a radio that'll enable speeds above hspa+. That's strange to me, because even back in the day of the Note 1 (original note ... not even called '1' ... because that's all there was) - there were dev's that managed to upgrade our international model to U.S. 4glte . . . . and when the note came out, lte was hardly even in its infancy stage. IIRC, at that time, T-MO only had one model that was 4g ... some little htc model with a slide keyboard. Maybe the international tab pro 8" is getting less attention because of KNOX ??? or because it's simply not as popular as other devices?
