[Q] 4G LTE 1800 mhz - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
So I know this may be a noob question but I bought my Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 yesterday in Italy. I know that Italy is getting 4G/LTE in 800/1800/2600 Frequencies. My N7100 accepts the 1800 mhz GSM frequency.
Does that mean I will be able to access the 4G?
If not, can I do something? Flash a radio?
If there is no solution with my current phone, ill need to get another phone and spend another 699 eur.
I know many say you need the Note II LTE but it will be on 700 and 2100, not the ones offered in Italy.
My friend has the same issue with his brand new SIII.
Ideas? Anyone help?

2G, 3G and 4G (LTE) can use various freqs in different regions. Sometimes they even share the same freq. A 1800Mhz 3G does not mean that 1800Mhz 4G will work. It's different a modem by hardware and software in the phone.

So there is absolutely nothing that I do? What about flashing new modems?

Your N7100 doesn't have an LTE radio, so it is never going to work on LTE.

Will a 4g enabled device like the iphone 5, galaxy note 2 or galaxy s3 bought in hong kong work on uk EE 4g.

That depends on the LTE bands that the device supports. You are looking for LTE band 3, which is 1800MHz.

From what I know only the N7105 has a LTE radio built in.

The official LTE versions of the Note 2 and S3 from Hong Kong are tri-band LTE models. Running LTE bands 900mhz 1800mhz and 2600 mhz. So as long as your carrier has LTE in any of those bands it will work. The iphone 5 is only 1800mhz. I am currently using 4G on 1800 and 2600mhz as my carrier runs both bands.

Galaxy Nexus lte network

I have wondered does galaxy nexus lte network work in European? Because European model doesn't have lte network and has only 16gb of memory so I was thinking that I would buy nexus from Verizon if that lte network would work in Finland. Could someone smart tell me if it is possible thanks

Won't work. The frequencies are all different.
And here in Finland 4g is already working but I don't know does nexus support only Verizon network that isn't in here

The LTE version is CDMA/LTE. European carriers are all GSM. And to my knowledge, there aren't any big LTE networks yet being rolled out there...
So no, it won't work at all. Even if you got ahold of an LTE SIM from a local LTE carrier it wouldn't work with the frequencies in the Verizon device.
Okey thanks.. I will buy European model then

Verizon LTE model is using band 13 700mhz radio and it'd factory locked to Verizon. You guys are using 800mhz/2600mhz as far as I know so it will most definitely not work.
Just go for the HSPA+ version.

No. Only edge network will work. 3g and 4g work on completely different spectrum and radio frequency

If that was true the galaxy note from att wouldn't get T-Mobile 4 g which it does when flashing a blaze 4g modem I also want to know if this will work on the att s3

That may be true about the Note 2, but an ATT S3 does not have the T-Mobile 3/4G frequencies.

Yes this guys right. Take a look for yourself:
ATT Galaxy Note Specs
T-Mobile Galaxy S3 Specs
ATT Galaxy S3 Specs
Notice how the Note and the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 have that 1700 Mhz frequency? Thats what T-Mobile broadcasts their 3G/4G spectrum on. If the phone doesnt have those frequencies, then it wont work no matter what you do.

That's different. It is a whole different phone with a whole different SoC.
Let's not say things that we cannot prove.
Don't shoot this guy completely down. It will get T-Mobile 3g/4g as soon as T-Mobile refarms their network.

Yeah, because they live in one of the small parts of the US that uses the 1900mhz band for HSPA. It will not work everywhere else.

What about the other way? A T-Mo SGS3 on AT&T? What does that get you? I know NO LTE but what about HSPA+ ?

Yes, HSPA+ will be fine. But as you said, no LTE.

N7100 or N7105 for AT&T

I'm considering getting the Note 2 but unsure if I need the N7100 N7105, or does it matter? I'm in a 4G LTE area in Houston..

You can only get n7100 with hspa+ data speed. N7105 is LTE version that does not support US LTE band. If you want the LTE speed, your only option is to wait for at&t brand note 2.
I'm facing a dilemma... n7100 or at&t brand note 2?... LTE or hspa+... battery life differences.... ugh! So confused!

Can you explain why the N7105 won't work on AT&T's network despite it working in the 1900mhz baseband? I thought theoretically AT&T would be the only network compatible with the N7105 radios.
Almost all the other LTE networks in the US run on other frequencies which are explicitly not compatible, but not AT&T.

EDIT: N7105 LTE operates on 800, 900, 1800, and 2600mhz. That's why. As far as I know only Sprint's LTE network is theoretically compatible on the 800mhz baseband, and they don't offer SIM cards. :-/

No 4G connection

Hi,
I bought my N7105 from france, I moved to Dubai later on. Carrier supports 4G (du) but my phone mostly connects to H+, rarely 3G but never 4G.
I'm running a rooted official firmware 4.1.2, I searched on xda for same with issue it was there on Vodafone/AT&T in US and most solutions were a change in qualcomm's something!
In dubai they have GT N7100 but N7105 is not sold anywhere in middle east for some reason.
Please spare me the "buy a GT N7100" comments!
Would be great if have any suggestions.
Thanks.

Supporting 4G doesn't mean you'll GET 4G. They have to use the same frequency bands as supported by your device or it won't work.
According to 4g-map.info uae supports 1800 anf 2600 mhz so there is no reason why the n7105 wouldnt be comptible. What baseband do you have? Im running h3g nedma1 and I can see all three currently active 4g networks in the uk. So maybe try flashing that baseband check out the n7105 flashable modem collection in n7105 android development

Also check with your carrier. You might need a special APN for 4G access, you might need your IMEI added to an approved list.
There's much more to it than just the handsets physical capabilities.
Yes.. You have to check whether you device support the network frequency or not.
I am from Malaysia. Study in US currently. I am using my N7100. And T-mobile network.
T-Mobile doesnt support 1900mhz frequency (except san jose, san francisco and certain area). When i go out of these area, i only get 2G in my international version note 2. So, do do some research and get a carrier than has your device frequency. You can get the answer from Wiki.
Ask from your operator what frequency they are using for 4G. I think Note II supports 800, 900,1800 and 2600mhz for 4G. If ur operator uses other frequency which is not supported by Note2, then u wont get 4G on your device. In my operator, they use 1800mhz for 4G, so I can use 4G on my device.

If you look at my previous post you will see I have already told him what frequencies they use in uae. Plus the fact that the n7105 supports these frequencies

[Q] 900Mhz European WCDA Band on a T Mobile Galaxy Note 3 (N900T)

Is there any way to get the 900 mhz European 3G frecuency working on a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3?. Maybe flashing the modem or something?
Going into the Service Mode menu I do see 900 mhz listed as an option. I would think it should work automatically, but I could be wrong.

If you are outside the U.S. Which i'm guessing you are. you will need to use the dialer code and manually set your band.
I'm currently getting Hspa and hspa + in London UK.
I didn't have to go into the service menu.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Doh. Just read this again. Back in the USA, so you mean I could have manually changed the frequency?
