It works great, but only shows 3G for AT&T, no 4G as it shows when it's on T-Mobile sort of 3G/4G network..
Actually quite honestly, I don't see much difference in 4G/3G difference is there when we go to LTE

No, I mean will the at&t GS3 unlocked work on T-Mobile's 3G/4G network?

No teh radio on the att version has the T-Mobile bands replaced with the lte bands so T-Mobile on a att gs3 will only werk on edge...
Yes "werk"

Who will be your service carrier? We will need to know first.

I ll go with orange... i understand that it uses the 900mhz band for 3g! Sovit won t work?

You should look up their 3g bands and compare to our phone.. i think our phone is quadband so pretty high chance of having 3g
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Pretty low chance of having 3G service on a U.S. phone, if they use Band VIII (900Mhz). Neither the T999 or the i747 support that band for UMTS. You are better off with the international version.

I was able to use it with globul when i went for a trip to bulgaria.

You use globul as well?

You should check which Orange you're going to be on. I see that it either uses 900 or 2100 depending where you're at.

Can N7105 use Canada LTE?

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

Ya i am using the Bell LTE SIM

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?

Can International S3 Work on Tmo's LTE?

can the international version of the S3 work on tmobile's LTE network?

No. S3 is not compatible with tmobile LTE and international version will only get Edge not even 4g

It may or It may not. Look at the tmobile's LTE bands and look at the international S3 bands if they the same it can. Also now that tmobile have the 1900 band and the iphone can get 3g. I think that now most of international phones with tmobiles 4g/3g

No. You'll probably need a newer galaxy s3 with the lte chip.

No. And worse it will only do 2G on the T-Mobile network until after the frequency realignment. Then it "might" be able to do HSPA+, but perhaps not.
LTE... Never.

AT&T G3 on T-Mobile?

Is it possible to use the AT&T version on T-Mobile and get LTE? I compared the bands online and it looks like it should work, but wondering if anyone has actually tried yet?
Also read a post in another thread where the guy claimed that the AT&T version is unlocked out of the box... seems unlikely, can anyone verify? Thanks.

yes u can

But if it's not unlocked how can it work?

Once you SIM unlock it you'll be fine. However you will not have VoLTE (coming soon), WiFi calling, or an unlocked bootloader. I'm not sure why you would even want to do this...
Other than those things... It works fine.

No variant of the g3 has a unlocked BL. Its cheaper than s T-Mobile version and it's the same other than the carrier bloat so why not pay less?

Because the bootloader on the D851 is in fact unlocked. It's the only US variant with an unlocked bootloader. And if you didn't care about that you'd still be missing WiFi calling and VoLTE when they push it out.

Thanks for the update last I heard it was locked just like all of the others. Hopefully this will allow the others to gain an unlocked BL.

I have a T-Mobile SIM card for a prepaid plan. I don't get WiFi calling, as far as I am aware. I just want to be able to make and receive calls. Data isn't even that big of a deal for me since I'm around WiFi so much.
Does anyone know the process to unlock the SIM?

I don't believe the ATT version supports AWS band over 3G/H+, so if you're in an area where the TMO tower is using that, you might be forced down to E, G, or have no signal.
I believe the TMO version doesn't support LTE band 5, while the ATT version does. The only carrier I know of using LTE band 5 is U.S Cellular, so that might not be an issue.

Yes it does support it, surprisingly. Per FCC documentation. Of course, AT&T might have disabled those bands in software.

Old thread, but it's worth pointing out that T-Mobile also refarmed 1900mhz in a number of areas to support HSPA+, so the potential lack of 1700/2100 HSPA+ shouldn't make that much of a difference.
Once or twice, my wife's Lumia was connecting on HSPA+ when all I could get was EDGE, suggesting to me at least that HSPA+ over 1700/2100 does not seem to be possible on the d850, despite what the FCC filing might say. If I'm wrong, I'd love to be corrected on that.
