Support for N7105 note 2 LTE - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks,
There has been alot of discussions about the differences between N7100 and N7105. While N7100 is in fact the note 2 and N7105 is Note 2 LTE, I just want to know what are the differences between the both of them in terms of support from XDA. Are N7100 custom roms or rooting methods applicable to N7105? Is N7105 suppprt by XDA community?
Thanks

Uhhh the n7100 is LTE...
And obviously will have more support since they aren't releasing the n7105 for a while.
The 105 is like the 100's retarded brother, kinda like skyrocket version of SGSII

The difference is in the frequency they support

The actual difference between N7100 and N7105 is the frequencies each support.
First N7100 is supporting 700Mhz/2100Mhz. and 1700Mhz
While N7105 is supporting 800Mhz/2600Mhz. and 1800Mhz
Here is the list of countries LTE frequencies, and what frequency each country uses.
wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
And here is more info about the frequency bands

PS: I couldn't type the full URL as I have to post at least 10 posts first before I can post an outside URL, but I assume that you can figure out what is missing in the URLs

have u seen the prices on EE[LTE],they are way too expensive just to get more faster speeds and with Galaxy Notes 2 no one can afford only if you got a good job with good money,you need to pay the phone upfront and the monthly charges,the hell with EE[LTE]

Variants of Galaxy Note II

I know for a fact that the Korean versions and the US versions are different from the global model. What are some other variations?

What do you mean different? The only thing that changes are software (US Carriers will add some junk) and the radio bands that are supported (although if it's all the same chip, then any N2 could be repurposed with a flash or two ie. AT&T Note flashed to work on T-Mo Note, although they were both using Snapdragon chipsets).
Different as in ROMs and Kernels are not compatible

U.S. Note IIs don't use Snapdragon SoCs. They use the same Rev. 2.0 Exynos 4412 as the N7100.

Yeah, I was talking about the original Note (the Note II hasn't been released yet in the states... so my statement about flashing the AT&T model to work on T-Mo wouldn't make sense). Although I'm very jealous of you internationals, I still gotta wait a week... for the announcement...

You are absolutely right! They are all different and you should not flash SHV-E250S with any other ROM, like I did. You can read my posts to understand the result.

1. From the specs that I've actually seen online, SGH-T889 has the UMTS1700/2100 (B4) band instead of the UMTS900 (B8) band of the GT-N7100. All other bands and the rest of the hardware appear to be exactly the same between the US T-Mobile and the International Unlocked variants. Although some places mention that T889 also has a "blocked" LTE band...
2. Also, N7105 appears to have all the same bands and hardware as the N7100, and two additional LTE bands: LTE2600 (B7) and LTE800 (B20). There also appears to be a N7105T variant, which has LTE1800 (B3) instead of the B20 band on the N7105.
...alright, this can quickly become quite a tedious post
...so a little deeper google searching reveals that this information is already being compiled in a more readable format and certainly looks much more complete, too.
e.g. here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_II
and here!
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacom...=3877&id11=3826&id12=3851&id13=3832&id14=3853
At least twelve variants... at least on paper, that is:
Samsung Galaxy Note II Variants
00. GT-N7100
01. SC-02E
02. GT-N7105T (LTE)
03. GT-N7105 (LTE)
04. SCH-i605 (LTE)
05. SCH-N719 (CDMA)
06. GT-N7108
07. SPH-L900 (LTE)
08. SCH-R950 (LTE)
09. SGH-T889 (US T-Mobile, LTE?)
10. SGH-i317 (LTE)
11. SHV-E250S (LTE)
Not sure how reliable all this info is, but hopefully it helps to clarify the confusion about the variants (of which there appears to be a lot!) and to make a more educated purchase decision...
There have been a lot of updates to the Wikipedia article referred above, just in the past three hours... hopefully our wiki page http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_2 reflects this info soon, too.

[Q] Difference between N7100 and N7105

What is the difference in N7100 and N7105? I'm looking to root but cannot find software that roots my N7105. But I could find plenty for N7100. thanks amigos

Lol me too. It's funny how every now and then a smart-a** remark backfires. I always hate it when instead of writing a couple of words to answer the question, some people decide to spend the same amount of time reminding about search buttons.
The N7105 is the 'LTE' version but I guess you a already know that one. The only thing I can think of is the modem is different. Seen a few posts about dumping a N7100 rom on a N7105 where you have to then send it the lte modem.
Indeed it is funny. I've been searching for 2 hours trying to find how to see what stupid words the keyboard ha added to my dictionary, like passwords, no luck.
I also searched for days trying to work out why after I installed CWM I couldn't boot into it. Never found a solution on here or Google... But if I hold volume up(instead of down), home and the power button it will start in CWM.

No FM radio on 7105. 7105 is lte aka 4g. All others is the same.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
judging by slowness and non-maxmimization of even 3G, i see no point in shelling out more for the 4G model.
N7105 also supports 42Mbps DC-HSPA+, where the N7100 does not.

I used to think so, but here in the UK, the 3G services all run on 2.1GHz (properly called UMTS-2100, sometimes WCDMA). The problem is that 2.1GHz is a really stupid frequency for good propagation over distance, it's fine in an urban area.
the european/ETSI-specific LTE frequencies will be 2600 and 800Mhz, the idea is that the former is for urban, the latter for wide areas.
so my theory is a double-win: LTE data rates and better coverage for data.
of course, the problem being that mobile operators haven't provisioned enough backhaul circuits so even if the radio interface is capable of 10's of megabits/s, each cell's uplink and downlinks are not capable of that.

Why is the 3g note 2 have more android devs working on it..

Than the LTE?
It's been out for longer.
Also, a lot of networks (in the UK at least, dunno how well it's been rolled out in other countries) don't even offer LTE yet.

3G is main course
OG phones always have more devs.
So should I get lte or 3g?

I have been Telling people this from the the beginning. International versions of phones alway get more support. Too many people being ignorant and just talking about there LTE and how superior it is to the international note 2. Now have seen this question on xda too many times about people being upset they don't have much support for there LTE note 2. Cant wait for the port of Android 4.2 for the international version while LTE user will wait for over a year for the update lol. Carrier phones are doomed from the start with updates. Don't make a silly mistake. Grab yourself an international version so that you can enjoy your roms and updates. Also because its only 3g you will have better battery life than the LTE version.

[Q] ROM Question

I have a quick question regarding which ROMs are available to me. I'm using a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 but there is very little development in that area (less that ten threads). I'd like to know if other GSM ROMs are flushable on the SGH-T889 (T-Mobile) device. I know that this has been the case with other devices in the past. Please advise. Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
No, they are not suited for your device. Only for GT-N7100 HSPA+ version in this forum, not for LTE or Dual Core devices.
The T-Mobile version is HSPA+ and it's quad-core, not dual-core. It is technically LTE capable but it isn't used. It is basically the same as the international version.

Can I Enable LTE Feature on My Note 2 T889?

Because T889 & N7105 are have same Qualcomm 9215 baseband chip, is there any way to Enabling LTE Feature on My Note 2 T889?
Not yet. We're expecting a software release sometime next year to do this. Who knows, maybe a dev here will figure it out sooner.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
We can enable it, but there is no way to test it since there is no LTE on the tmo network. LTE has been present in tmo phones all the way back to the GS2 t989.
How? I have the canadian version of t_mobil unlocked using a telus sim but cant get LTE. Is it the NV data way. Was reading about it and seems a little above my knowledge.

I'm curious about this as well. I read the thread about enabling AWS on the i317, however all the files in that discussion seemed to be related to that particular phone and not for the t889.
I surmise that we need either the .qcn file from a stock i317 or the NV parameter to enable LTE.
Thanks in advance!
