Can N7105 use Canada LTE? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I am using a N7105 on Bell Canada network. Seem my phone only max. on HSPA+ not LTE. Base on I am reading some information from internet. Bell is using 1700/2100/2600 Mhz for LTE. My phone only able pick up LTE 800/1800/2600 Mhz. My question is shouldn't my phone work on Bell LTE network on 2600 Mhz?? Also does anyone out there use N7105 and able to use LTE on Rogers/Bell/Telus???
Thanks

wow really no one use N7105 in Canada???

It will work but generally performance would be poor inside buildings or in areas of interference, due to having only one compatible band instead of two.

I have tried even outside on the street still not getting LTE:crying:

7105 is international, international usually mean European, Australia etc, ie NOT north American region. They will have carrier specific versions for bell, telus, robbers, wind etc

This is stupid they don't follow the other country

So which model name/number is the Canadian Bell one? I'm thinking of buying one in Calgary, but I wanted to monitor ROM development before I got one, so which forum should I follow for the Canadian one? I just guessed it was an N7105, but apparently it's not!
Edit: Nevermind, found it on Wikipedia. It's SGH-i317M and seems roughly same as AT&T, I guess I'll go to that forum!

Although I don't know anyone that has a N7105 on LTE in Canada, I've seen people use LTE with a I9305 (with the same LTE bands as the N7105) in Vancouver at least, so technically your phone should work. It may be that your area doesn't have the 2600Mhz spectrum.

Ah so i called Bell they told me they have 2600 Mhz but you never know. Cause Bell tech. support sucks

N7105 supports 2600 mhz radio frequency, but a respective modem file need to be flashed for it to work on LTE network.
I had Note LTE i717 which supported 1700mhz lte of Rogers, and yes it worked with wind and T-mobile network using 1700 mhz frequency only after flashing tmobile modem.

Hi quick question on this one. My phone is international version and it is unlocked. And i have contact Samsung and they said i don't need anything as long as the SP giving out 2600Mhz. The phone will auto use 2600Mhz

Hey OP are you using an LTE compatible sim card?

Lte will not work out of box, unless some developer gets you modem file which can make your N7105 to recognize 2600mhz as Bell LTE.

Yeah me too hate .....I was in long dilemma to buy N7105 , but when I found this then i just bought it outright from Rogers.
Also to let you know that even after flashing 2600mhz to work as lte radio, you will only get lte in 2600mhz lte available areas only, bcoz lte in NA fluctuates many frequencies from 700/1700/1900/2100/2600.
Good luck and enjoy your Note2.

I just bought a N7105 international version from Hong Kong and yes it work on Rogers here in Vancouver. Make sure you get a LTE compatible SIM card. My old SIM card did not compatible with LTE so I only got H+ or 3G. Now I changed and I am on 4G.
The reception is only 2 bars most of the time though. Sometime I got 4 bars. I tried data speed using Speedtest.net and still got at max 52Mbps DOWN and 34Mbps UP even I am at 2 bars so I guess it isn't too bad.

Hey rcyh same here i got my phone in HK..... I heard a lot people able to use 2600 Mhz on Rogers only ... Do you have any friend is using Bell and you can give it a try and see u are getting LTE there?

Woooooo comfirmed N7105 does work great with Rogers :fingers-crossed: I am getting 47Mbps down and 10Mbps up with 2 bar signal :angel:...... I think Bell just locked the LTE 2600Mhz band to public

you go the N7105 from where? Wind's SGH-T889V? Did you do anything (unlock/root/flash radio/other) to get LTE on Rogers?

N7100 or N7105 for AT&T

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. :-/

N7105 lte work for canada rogers or bell?

You will get HSDPA but no LTE.
Rogers and Bell LTE operates on 1700/2100 MHz AWS and N7105 has 700/2100 MHz radio.

Thats where its confusing...online on rogers site they say lte is running 2100 and 2600 and since the n7105 runs 700 and 2100 then I can get lte right? Are you sure that rogers and bell are running lte at 1700 2100? And also if n7105 has 2100 then it should be able to run lte.

It will work but not well in areas of low coverage or inside buildings. Normally the phone will switch bands depending on the situation to get the best signal. But if your phone has only 1 of the 2 bands available, it will not be able to choose optimally the best band so performance will suffer unless you are right under the cell tower.

T-mobile S4 on AT&T network not getting LTE

I have an unlocked Galaxy S4 T-Mobile version but when I put AT&T SIM it doesn't get LTE. I thought the T-Mobile version had compatible LTE with AT&T. I have entered the right APN for AT&T though, anyone can help?
Have you tried to install the AT&T modem?

Make sure your account has the 4g lte package. When you login to your att account should say like.
Data pro 4g lte.
If it says data pro 4g. Its not going to give you lte.
You need to have the imei of an att lte phone on your account then it will work.
I am sure that my data plan has LTE, I took it out my iPhone5 and I got LTE on my iPhone5. I have enabled the LTE and put the right APN. Still no data connection, I have not flashed it to a different modem. So what's wrong?
How to select the right LTE band? I have only select the "Network mode" to LTE/GSM/WCDMA(auto connect). and APN is that all?

Not to bash or anything, but I don't see why people try to use a phone for one carrier on another. Why not just sell (or trade?) your unlocked T-Mobile S4, for an AT&T S4?
You can still get retail price for the phone if it's in great condition. Then you wouldn't have this issue.
To me, I don't think whether it supports the same bands matter. Use T-Mobile on T-Mobile, AT&T on AT&T, Sprint on Sprint, so on and so forth.
Just my two cents.

Whether or not he gets LTE on his phone is 100 percent dependant on the bands the phone supports.

its my understanding that the T-Mobile version is boot loader unlocked so they aren't all the same. I'm looking to do the same thing as the OP here soon once I research what if any implications there really are at the end of the day.

Yeah, for LTE bands, AT&T version has less bands due to their spectrum restriction: 700 MHz (Band 17), AWS, IMT, IMT-E, while the T-Mobile version have all bands: 700 MHz (Band 17), CLR, AWS, PCS, IMT, IMT-E

Sounds like you already know more than me be reading that line I take it that the tmobile version on AT&T gives you full support across all of atts network but if you used the att version on tmobile you miss out.

Incorrect-all AT&T LTE phones support Band 4 and Band 17-AT&T is predominately Band 17 and has a small Band 4 footprint. T-Mobile's entire LTE footprint is Band 4. The real issue with a TMO S4 is whether or not you can roam on AT&T LTE network when no native T-Mobile network exists-especially since T-Mobile switched many of their legacy plans with put a serious limit or outright block on data roaming.

ahh ok. But with the case of getting of carrier unlocked and running a sim from att you're still fine right? Have to figure this out next if say someone gets the T-Mobile one, carrier unlocked can you install the myatt app from the play store or does it get blocked some how saying you aren't on a supported device?

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.

[Q] [N7105] Best Modem for N7105 using Rogers SIM in Canada?

Since there are more people in this forum who uses a N7105 than on the N7105 forums, I might as well ask here.
I own an N7105, originally bought in Hong Kong to be used in Hong Kong.
I am now in Canada, Toronto to be exact and I am using Rogers as my network provider.
2G,3G and 4G all work fine, but not sure about network coverage. I use a N7105XXDLL5 baseband on my current ROM.
My battery drains like crazy when switching between a low 3G coverage to 2G or low 4G to 3G.
So I was wondering, which modem should I use to have the best coverage in Canada/Rogers? Since all modems in the N7105 (International) means support for carriers outside of the North American carriers, as they have their own variants sold.
Or, should I just stick with my current baseband as it is more 'international', 'widely used' or 'all rounded'?
Much help appreciated,
Nicholas
You can try MA3 modem which is a Canadian modem search for it on the i317 development thread I believe its also on the 7105 thread and Toronto has LTE so it should say LTE 14 if working correctly
I currently have this on my current modem, is this wrong?

Looks like its working
Is that with the I317MVLBMA3 modem?
If not: you might be picking signal in a 2600 MHz LTE coverage area?
It's with the N7105XXDLL5 modem, I usually get 1-3 bars of LTE all around Toronto, except inside buildings and subways. I wasn't near any network towers, currently I'm in the airport with 2-3 bars of LTE
