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.

Alright :d
Since the AT&T GSIII) and T-mobile GSIII) are basically the same phone I wounder if the AT&T version will work on T-mobile 3G/4G. Similar to the way the AT&T Galaxy Note works on T-mobile 3G/4G. I was gone probably by the phone out right to use on T-mobile. AT&T has it for 550.00 where as T-mobile has it for 630.00.
I don't think so because att phone doesn't support mobile's aws band but idk if you could flash a modem. I did that on my note but the speeds were horrible. But yea t-mobile is expensive I just paid 680$ for my s3 today at my retail store..

I don't know, i'm wondering the same thing. the phones are identical. I think it's a very high possibility that there will be rom/radio/ kernal combinations in the future that will cater to t mobile radios that we will easily be able to flash. Just unlocked mine, I think i'm gonna have faith in US GSIII development, identical hardware and eventual full cross compatibility.
As far as I know, the Att has an lte modem and the tmo doesn't. I read that even when tmo launches LTE it won't work with the gs3. But, the tmo has att hspa+ support 1700mhz and should work with att 3g no problem.

Has anybody tried popping a Tmobile sim in an AT&T GS III?

The modem for lte or hspa+ is built into the msm8960. In theory they should be interchangeable
Would be interesting experiment for someone with rooted phone to try loading the alternative kernel/baseband then applicable sim.
Keeping fingers crossed,

Think it was done by tsp and failed. Also how do you know the mms8960 works on T-Mobile's 1700 band? So far no evidence.

There is snapdragon s4 whitepaper that states modem can do lte cat3, and dc-hspa+ cat24.
Elsewhere states that the rf for common freqs range 700-2600.
Do not have link handy.but try developer.qualcomm.com

What I don't get is why t-mobile would use a different chipset if the 747's msm8960 was compatible with 1700 aws. Especially since t-mobile is spending billions to refarm right now to make all gsm devices compatible with their network. It just doesn't make sense. Until there's confirmation, there are reasons to have doubts.

There are some reports on xda that t999 variant used the msm8260 which is similar chipset but NO LTE.
I would be interested in link wrt tsp attempt at baseband flash, especially which s3 was used.
I find surprising samsung would bother with these build variants.
Does not bode well for FM....

He spoke about trying to flash the t-mobile s3 radio in another thread earlier with no results. Returned his and ordered the t-mobile variant. I ordered a skyrocket myself. So far it doesn't look good. But of course with radios nothing is concrete. All we can do is flash their files and hope something sticks.

Has anyone tried injecting the modem.bin of T999 to the i747M CWM flash ready file and has their phone network unlocked with T-Moblie/Mobilicity/Wind sim?
There are at least two "versions" of the MSM8960, one with the LTE support, one without. The TMO version has the MSM8260A modem, which can be verified with getprop from the terminal. In essence, the TMO version does have the newer S4 (Krait) CPU, but it does lack the LTE hardware. So, no, the phones are not identical. The TMO version does support AT&T HSPA frequencies though, but the ATT version does not (at least in the default configuration) support TMO HSPA frequencies. Whether that can be changed or not, I don't know.
From "getprop" in terminal:
ro.board.platform - msm8960
ril.modem.board - msm8260a
What does the AT&T version say?
When Amazon first posted the AT&T version on their site I read a review about it saying it would work on T-Mobiles network for voice but not data.

What they undoubtedly meant was that you would only get plain old GSM (EDGE, GPRS, etc.) with the AT&T version on T-Mobile, due to the lack of proper frequency support for T-Mobile's network. Still voice and data, just slow as hell by today's standards. However, the T-Mobile version fully supports AT&T frequencies for HSPA (no LTE though).
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
PC
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

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?
Hello, i have been reading on tmobile rolling out 4g LTE sometime this year as they have done testing in kansas city and las vegas, and i live in kc. If i had the international version or an unlocked at&t version, would i be able to stick my sim card in and turn the lte on when and if they upgraded to it? Ive heard a few people say that you would be able to, but im asking this site as i know its more reliable. Thank you for your time and consideration!
I believe the international version doesn't have lte support( except for the Korean version) and the at&t version wouldn't have the bands for tmobiles lte but you would b able to pick up their 3g I believe

now with that being said, since the us version has the lte modem built into it, shouldnt they be able to push out an update enabling it?

Only the US Note 2 for T-Mobile has a built in LTE Modem that supports their upcoming network. (And the Nexus 4 wink wink )

Hello all -
I have recently relocated to the UK from the US, and I have a US Galaxy S3 (ATT) which is rooted (running CM 10.2) and SIM-unlocked. I have no issues using this with 3G networks here (TMobile) but would it also work on EE's 4G LTE network if I upgraded my plan, or would I require a different model to get LTE here?
TIA
J
Do some research. If the carrier that you want to use uses the same lte frequencies, then it will work. If not, you're out of luck.

I did a lot of poking around, only to end up on Wikipedia looking up 4G frequencies. The answer is no...!
