As title states,
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
Anyone know?
No one knows?

hi everybody .. i just got HTC Desire for my wife and we have this phone for 2 days now .The phone don't read 3G and when i checked the network info the phone read EDGE and when i checked my nexus at same time i seen the network UMTS . so what i can do make this desire read 3G
Check your carrier's APN setting.
Menu->Settings->Wireless & networks->Mobile Network Settings->Access Point Names
You are on T-Mobile USA right?
Sorry but there is NO version of HTC Desire that is compatible with T-Mobile USA 3G network. No, T-Mobile in Europe does not use the same 3G bands for 3G as T-Mobile USA, so even if the phone was sold with a T-Mobile (Europe) logo on it it won't have 3G in the US.
Currently there are TWO hardware versions of the HTC Desire. The first one, A8181, is the one that is sold in Europe and Asia, and this one does not have 3G in the US. The second one, A8183, is sold in Australia by the carrier Telstra. This version is compatible with AT&T's 3G network in most part of the US, but it is not compatible with T-Mobile USA's 3G network.

You will find that very, very few "worldwide" GSM phones will work with T-Mobile US's 3G due to the split 1700/2100 AWS band that TMo US uses.
Ironically though, you can take a TMo US phone out of the US and it will happily talk 3G to most other non-US GSM networks.

Most Europe/Asian carriers only use 2100 band for 3G, so as long as your phone supports that band (most GSM phones do) you can get 3G on their network.
T-Mobile USA on the other hand, requires BOTH 1700 & 2100 bands support in order for your phone to get 3G on their network. For a long time, T-Mobile USA was the ONLY carrier in the world that use 1700 band for 3G, and therefore if a phone was not carried by T-Mobile USA it didn't have 1700 3G band support (it doesn't need to because no other carrier in the world used it). Well, lately a new Canadian wireless carrier, Wind, also employs the 1700 & 2100 bands for their 3G network... so the chance of getting more phones to support these 3G bands has slightly increased. Slightly, because Wind is a new and small carrier...
Are there any differences in the LTE support of N7105 bought in different countries?
Given that not all network providers support the same LTE bands, do the cellphones they sell get restricted to work only under their specific frequencies?
I am planning on buying a N7105 from TMN in Portugal, but I will be moving to the US for a PhD course after a couple months, and I would like my cellphone to not suffer any 4G speed losses due to connectivity restrictions in the device.
I have tried googling this, but could not come to any precise conclusion . Can anybody help?
Thank you in advance!
The N7105 has 800/1800/2600 MHz LTE capabilities, I believe. This is the same for every model sold.
On AT&T in the US, 3G will work just fine. I'm not sure you'll be able to use 4G, though, since they use different bands for LTE.
EDIT: Yes, AT&T uses 700 and 1700 MHz for LTE. The maximum you'd get on their network is HSPA+.

I have N7105 LTE model in Korea.
But Korea SKTelecom LTE band is 850/1800. Major LTE band is 850, sub band is 1800
All know that N7105 default LTE band is 800/1800/2600
So i want to flash E250 modem to my N7105.
(Just modem only flashing, because korean mobile operators are too many customized. I hate it.)
How can I E250S modem flash on my N7105?
Hopefully you get a decent advise, as i on the other hand have a E250 purchased in Taiwan, and would like to flash it to N7105 as reception in Canada with the current setup is horrible and LTE don't seem to work.

Oh, dears
Thanks for your reply and i know your pain.
LTE band problem is i know that Canada LTE use 1700/2100/2600.
So, if your carrier using 2600(Rogers) you will use only 2600, other LTE band 1700/2100 is not recognized your E250 on 7105 ROM.
Because N7105 only support 800/1800/2600 bands.(E250s is support just two bands, 850/1800)
Thanks

I wasn't aware of this when i was buying the phone ((((
On top of that, when i did the latest update i bricked/wiped all settings for the N7105, none of the ROMs through ODIN would take (i would get a FAIL message)i had to do Kies factory update which reverted the phone to E250.
Many of the ROMs would not be accepted by the phone, even after ROOTing. Still trying to get it on the acceptable level as the SKT setup gave me very poor reception.
Is there a way to change the modem operating frequencies by adding a ROGERS modem for example?
Hello Com.,
a friend of mine ordered a Galaxy S4 from the official T-Mobile website. He doesn't really want it, so I can get it for a special price.
My question is, if this phone is ordered from T-Mobile Germany, is it the same Version as the US T-Mobile, or is it the international one?
Thank you in advance!
The SGH-M919 is only sold by T-Mobile US. You will not receive it from any other carrier, anywhere.
Thank you very much!
So do you think this phone will be the international one? 'cause in Europe, as you will know, we use GSM instead of your CDMA.

Yes, it should be.
From what I have heard, the main difference between the AT&T / T-Mobile version and the International LTE version (9505) are the LTE Frequencies and Software / Bloatware the Carriers add.
The international one has LTE frequencies 800 MHz and 1800MHz, which the US T-Mobile version doesn't have, while the US T-Mobile version has the AWS Frequencies and the 700Mhz band, which the international one doesn't.
In refarmed areas, the international one should work for everything other than LTE, in areas not refarmed yet, you are likely back down to 2G.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4 has a good overview of the differences in hardware.
I bought this because the reception on my S2 is just unbearable.
It's advertised as being 4G/LTE But it seems the out of box bands are every band except the ones North American carriers use.
Has anyone gotten true 4G/LTE reception on AT&T in America? I9190 model? I9195? Do the Qualcomm tools work for unlocking bands?
I'm sure 3G reception will at least be better than on my S2.
EDIT: Found the Answer. It has 5 LTE bands, none of which are used in America. So no 4G or LTE on this model in america. For anyone wanting LTE on AT&T in America get an SGH-I257M/SGH-I257 model. I just bought a motherboard off ebay. Also, apparently all I9195 roms work on I257M just fine.
