Hey guys.
I have had some issues with my note 2.
I had an open Samsung model GTN7105T and I swapped it with the N7105 as it's the "international" version as I thought I may have dramas rooting and installing custom roms etc.
Now, it could just be me or I didn't notice properly when I had the the T variant but it seems I'm getting less signal with the non T variant. Could this even be possible? I'm under the impression no, as it's basically the same handset in every way.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, should be picking up a note 2 in the next few days.
But it would be great to get some opinions regarding the N7100 or the N7105.
Will ROMS for the N7105 ever be as widely available as for the N7100, I was going to get the N7105 but noticed literally no roms like Paranoid Android or others on it. Will these come or will they mainly be N7100 based?
Also living in the UK we don't have wide LTE support and the network I am on will be 3. Will the DC-HSPA make much if any difference to the speeds I will get on that network?
Any opinions or answers are much appreciated

Hi, if you don't have much support for LTE, them more reasons to go for the N7100.
That version would have better support and more developers. Some do refuse to make for the N7105 model.

Will the 3G on the N7105 be much faster?
Also I heard the stock rom is better battery life than custom roms, is this true?
I currently have my Note 2 on its way from my carrier, Telecom NZ. But its a slight variant from the standard N7100. It'a a "N7100T" the difference being it has the 850MHz 3G band. I believe Telstra AUS has the same one.
I'm no stranger to rooting and flashing custom roms, but I'm a little confused as to whether I will have to use roms specific to my variant of the phone? Anyone else have this same Note 2?
Historically, the T variant just indicates optimised support for the 850mhz 3G band, and software for the non-T variant works fine. Given this is the first T variant to launch, it may require a little caution - but it's unlikely be a variant of the N7105 or anything. Best practice to wait until a download of a stock build is available before tinkering too much. Watch out for fast dormancy settings on N7100 ROMs if you value battery life!

Thanks for the reply.
I was browsing through SamFirmware and noticed the Vodafone note 2 is showing as the N7105. I'm curious, what carrier are you on and what model do you have exactly.
There one other ROM available for NZ and its just listed as "New Zealand" but is for a N7100. So I'm assuming this one to either be for 2degrees or Telecom. Kind of confusing myself haha
UPDATE
Okay so I got the phone. LOVE IT. Just came from an iphone5 so quite a difference but I was on an S3 before that.
Anyway, I found the stock rom on Samsung-Updates.com so after a bit of browsing the dev forums I'll start to tinker.
Any update on this post? I too have the N7100t and was looking to upgrade to 4.1.2 but can only find it for the N7100.

as far as I can tell from looking around, it has different radio configuration tailored for Australian telecommunications networks, this would account for the worse signal.

Hi Guys, I've got some questions I'm hoping I can have addressed. I purchased a Galaxy S3 LTE (SGH-T999L) from T-Mobile awhile ago & i'm happy with the device. I am aware that the original model, SGH-T999 didn't come with LTE, however my confusion lies in that I've heard that with the 4.1.2 update, the T999 now supports LTE, but I've heard people say it doesn't.
My concern is that I am interested in rooting & installing a custom rom on my S3 LTE. I've seen some roms state that they support my model #, but in one rom I watched a review/install video for it & in the video, that specific rom only listed the SGH-T999 model, the non-lte variant.
I'm pretty confident in the knowledge that if I flashed a T999 rom, it would work on my device, however I'm uncertain on if I would lose the LTE functionality.
Thank you guys for sharing your wisdom
I don't think so

I don't think you would as it's a hardwear difference between the T999 and the T999L. As long as you have the LTE APN it should work, although the ROM may not show you have an LTE connection. You will have the speed but the ROM will just register it as 4G or HSPA+. But I'm not completely sure. I would make a nandroid to go back to just in case, and then see if you can get LTE speeds on your rom.
All of your questions have already been addressed in the T999L thread. Link in sig.

Hi,
Im a first time android user and recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S9 (International Version - SM G9600 - DUOS - Snapdragon). I need wifi calling very badly on At&T as my work and home both have bad reception so my purchase has handicapped me from making calls. I see a lot of forums talking about flashing At&T firmware on G960U VERSION. But i havent seen a single one talking about flashing it on g9600. Is it possible? I compared the specs and every hardware looks same except dual sim option. Will I brick my phone if i attempt it? Please suggest im in need to help from the pro community.
Regards.
