Anyone heard anything about availabilty for tmobile or any other carrier for that matter? Ive heard costco would be recieving 64gb stock in but still not seeing anything show up. It always seems to good to be true when they say theyll be offering phones in 32-64gb options than it takes longer than expected if not ever to show up.
Carriers and Samsung need to understand there is huge demand for more internal space as the games and apps on playstore are being allowed to get larger and larger daily. If anything ill settle for the 32gb and buy a 128gb sdxc external but I just wanted to know if anyone has seen anything about this..

As far as Samsung has listed/reported is the SM-9000 as a 64gb option. No others are listed with that capacity.
P.S. How do get the Note 3 to see a 128gb card ?

Easy, just pop it in and format it. All these newer phones have always been able to use more than advertised sdcard space, they just dont think people need it or know that people do know its possible
The note 2 saw someone having a 256gb sdcard as his main internal storage and 16gb external with the exsdcard2internal mod mattijd created.

After reading this and other 64GB Note 3 threads I've been working with T-Mobile corp. store manager, who has been stringing me along for over a month, promising to get 64GB Note 3 for me. Finally, I told him enough as enough and I made him go all the way up and get on the phone with T-Mobile country wide sales director, who shared the following information:
When Note 3 came out, T-Mobile has ordered some 64GB Note 3s from Samsung, but that order lasted only for 3 weeks, was never fulfilled and eventually got cancelled by T-Mobile, because there was not enough demand for this version. That sales director said he wanted 64GB Note 3 for himself as well, but he doesn't have it either, because T-Mobile never got and never sold any and all those, who claim to have T-Mobile branded Note 3 64GB are lying.
Personally, I've been holding out for 64GB Note 3 until now, which is a long time. Now I'm torn between exploring the possibility of getting international N9005 64GB with unlocked bootloader, and then trying to flash full T-Mobile firmware on it, including modem, in order to restore LTE bands 4 and 17, required for 4G connection in US and the option of waiting for CES 2014, which is only a month away now. CES 2014 is rumored to have new Samsung Galaxy phones revealed.

Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 CPU version, which is in LTE Note 3, has worldwide LTE capabilities, supporting all 41 LTE bands worldwide. What determines, which bands are enabled on a specific N9005 model is strictly the firmware. It's all over XDA and other forums, and people have successfully flashed modems from other carriers on previous devices, such as SGS4, in order to enable the required LTE bands...

Worldwide LTE capability of Snapdragon 800 has also been praised at length on popular tech blogs, such as Engadget, BGR & Slashgear and there are several XDA threads, discussing this subject as well.

No one says it's easy...Each carrier specific OS rom has to have specific drivers and configuration, designed to work with one very specific modem's firmware that has certain LTE, GSM/CDMA/Edge etc' frequencies enabled. If you use a rom from one carrier, and flash modem from another carrier, which unlocks LTE bands you need - you are bound to have issues...People, who flashed & used cross carrier modems on SGS4 have had major power drain issues. That is why I said in my original post if I go to that route - I'm gonna flash the whole T-Mobile firmware, including the OS and everything else, not just the modem

To tell the truth, I returned a 16gb S4 to Tmobile, because ATT and Verizon were offering the 32gb version. I waited several months, and Tmobile NEVER got the 32gb S4.. What is with these people? They could at least stock a small quanity of the larger versions.. I am sure the demand is there. I would have opted for the 64gb Note 3, if it was offered..

I tried to see if this was asked already. Mods, please delete if so.
After reading/watching The Verge review, it is mentioned that the HSPA+ version will only come in a 16GB option. Does anyone know if this is true? I'm sure, like me, a lot of people here were planning to get a 32GB HSPA+ version. Thanks.

i think The Verge may be getting confused...since the UK is the only place that has the phone at the moment, and it's already been confirmed that the UK is only getting the 16GB version, they may be taking that as being a blanket designation for all the HSPA+ handsets.
The japanese NTT Docomo advert quite clearly states that it is available in 16GB & 32GB capacities.
We really don't know right now. Indicators are that the UK HSPA+ version is 16 and the US LTE version is 32, but that's just because we really don't know too much more than that right now...
And that is a big reason why the launch of this reeks. No details.

Yup, I agree. This is getting really annoying.
the *****ing and moaning would be a lot more tolerable if say google said something like the unlocked gsm/hspa+ version would be available unlocked in the usa like january 3 or something. something to look forward to at least. we'd still whine 'why the hell give verizon exclusivity?' and such but again at least we'd have something to look forward to.

Just looked on google.com/nexus... I am disappointed.
When you select United States at the bottom and go to the tech specs, under data it says CDMA/LTE; however, when you select United Kingdom, under data it says 3G/EDGE/GPRS.
I'm beginning to think that in the US there will be only a LTE/Verizon nexus
i think the only 32gb nexus will be the thicker verizon unit... i could be wrong. but if you have seen any other evidence of a gsm 32gb variant ..please point it out. i have seen nothing

Im holidaying in the US of A near the end of December, will it be possible for me to buy a 32gig 3g/gsm/hsdpa etc etc model of the Galaxy Nexus unlocked anywhere??? Its either I wait to get it when im there or I can just buy a Galaxy Note model now..
This is a bit ridiculous of google having all this advertising, pretty looking girls smiling into the camera using the phone etc and having absolutely no info on where/when/what (32gig GSM or only 16g??)
Dont advertise until ALL the details are available, it just pisses off people who want one!
(and why must Samsung always leave out one bit from each phone, no galaxy notes with nfc available yet? and nexus with no sdcard if the note had nfc/ics i'd get it now instead of the nexus)
Interesting to see that the UK Galaxy nexus page shows tech specs of 32 gb.
As long a 32 gb hspa+ is release, either in UK or US, i don't care. The phone is pentaband.....

I don't want to get it months later though
Handtec has a listing for the 32GB GSM model, and predicts an after New Years launch. When asked if they know for sure, they said Samsung hasn't told them anything
best guess it'll be sometimes in March 2012 before you see it's appearance for the 32GB GSM version
I just realized.....
The Verizon version not only gets LTE but it ALSO GETS 32GB !!!
While the rest of the world has to pay the same $650 for no LTE and 16GB !!
WTF
I feel the GSM should have been 32GB....
If you are on TMo or AT&T you are 16GB. Not that I care too much it seems to be enough.

Well there's no LTE version for non-US countries because the US is the only country that has a carrier thats quite far along with LTE. Its not even close to being launched across Europe right now.
It probably gets 32gb storage at the same time because the device already has to be thicker for the LTE chipset, so now they have room for extra storage.
Pretty sure the GSM version has an expansion SD card slot

Does not. But you can buy the 32GB version from stores if you want. It's roughly ~1000 usd here in Romania.

Operators and other sites selling the Gnex have just the 16GB version on stock, but other shops can provide the 32GB aswell. Prolly they don't have it on stock as it carries quite a hefty price tag

Not if they just used 2x 16gb cards instead of 1x 32gb (cut cost). But I'm sure theres an iFixit teardown that proves whats under there. More than likely, it was at Verizon's request that they made it 32gb to put it in line with its other $299 LTE phones.

32gb version is up for pre-order on plenty of sites. It hasn't been sold yet because no one has them, and there's no indication that they ever will get them. We're probably stuck on 16gb for the GSM version.
1) This is not new news
2) The GSM version costs the same because you an use it on multiple carriers. I can literally take the T-Mobile SIM card out of my phone, reboot it, and put an ATT SIM card in it and make a call. That alone is worth extra $$$ in my opinion.
Unlocking a phone and allowing you to use it on any carrier AND having carriers let you use it is enough. I'm pretty sure someone had to fuss up money to allow it.

Agreed. The fact that this is 5-band HSPA+ at 21mbps far outweighs LTE on a single (overpriced) carrier. If I get fed up with T-Mobile (or just want to try out ATT) there isn't a thing in the world stopping me from hopping back and forth.

yeah, it $ucks that the 32GB version is only able to work in one carrier. I miss the days when I had an unblocked phones and I was switching between AT&T and T-mobile every month.
(yeah, the above is sarcasm)
If you take a look at the teardowns, the Verizon version's internal layout is significantly different from the GSM version's layout. To make room for the LTE chipset the SIM card slot and the flash memory chip are moved off the motherboard onto a daughterboard that stacks on top of the motherboard (hence the extra thickness), the mini-SIM slot is changed into a micro-SIM slot, and the Samsung 16GB flash+512MB LPDDR2 RAM combo module is changed into a SanDisk 32GB flash module, and another 512MB LPDDR2 RAM package is added to the motherboard to maintain 1GB of total RAM. Motherboard layout-wise, they are totally different devices.
So the GSM version will work on nearly every single GSM network in the world?
The rest of the world also got the Galaxy SII while the U.S. had to wait for months. Id say we're even now.

I Could be wrong but the Galaxy Nexus is petaband (5 bands) so yes it will work on any GSM band in the world, some carriers sell it unlocked like mine (Bell) others sell it locked so it needs to be unlocked to work on other carriers but it will work.

just curious I know the GSM works on every GSM carrier anywhere in the word, but what about the LTE version ? i know it is for USA Verizon and it is CDMA but does it have other GSM frequenies to work on the GSM bands ? I can take my GSM version to anywhere in the world pop a local SIM in and it works, what if I have the Verizon unit travel outside the USA will the LTE work ? or am I stuck to use it only in the USA for Verizon ?

... And you can stream videos from Netflix and/or the Market, keep (a few of) your files in Dropbox, upload your photos to Picasa, Google+, etc... Rooted users can even back up their apps to dropbox using Titanium Backup (I even used TiBu's dropbox integration feature to backup my USER apps from my Fascinate and restore them on my Gnex). Cloud storage is the wave of the future.
That said, local storage is far from being obsolete, and my sympathy goes out to those who only have 16gb to store the HD videos they recorded. Plus, if you have a data cap and slower-than-LTE speeds, it sucks not to have expandable storage...
Has anyone seen John Connor?
Though this may come as no surprise to some we have just received word from a very very good source that an unconfirmed number of AT&T SIM Cards (RS# 17-0700 and likely 4G LTE) for the Galaxy Nexus are going out for testing as we speak. Curiously the SIMS are standard and not the micro like Verizon Wireless. This means of course we can finally certify the release of Samsung and Google’s latest collaboration will be hitting AT&T in the very near term. I have to protect my source but this is coming from very close to the situation. We will keep you posted as more details come about. Are you on AT&T and have been waiting for the the official release of the G-Nex you can count on it soon enough. We broke this right here and we expect to be credited this time. Thanks.
Update: Our tipster just added that the SKU for these SIM cards is 73057 and that they do seem to be 4G LTE enabled!!!!

Bet you $50 it's only HSPA+. Note, that the email only said it was "likely" LTE. They're speculating. Then note that they're using MiniSIM not micro. The whole reason why they use MicroSIM in Toro is because they couldn't fit the LTE antennas and logic chips and the full sized SIM in the already larger housing.

Yeah kinda strange.
When I switched to the LTE-enabled data plan with an LTE phone IMEI number, they had to give me a new LTE SIM for my GSM GN. So maybe the article meant LTE SIM going to the field with GN test units?

Bet you $50 it's only HSPA+. Note, that the email only said it was "likely" LTE. They're speculating. Then note that they're using MiniSIM not micro. The whole reason why they use MicroSIM in Toro is because they couldn't fit the LTE antennas and logic chips and the full sized SIM in the already larger housing.

Oh perfect, hopefully some sucker on CL will trade me for it lol

I think you are right.
After receiving my new GN last Friday, I went to the local AT&T store to get a data plan. Contrary to AT&T ads there is no 4G in South Florida. My phone gets what is available: H+. I just had to move the Sim card from my Nexus One to the GN.
Since my Galaxy Nexus is not an AT&T I have no obligation to buy a data plan. I might drop mine after reading the speedtest
To Clarify
Since our entire post has been repasted here i felt the need to clarify. The SIMS are not at all phone specific and not sure how that was insinuated in the post. There is more information I may be cleared to release as to why it was necessary for these SIMS to go out and an enterprising mind that thinks on it for a while can probably figure it out. The problem is I cannot yet tell folks where the SIMS were coming from and where they were going. I also know how many SIMS there were. If I get cleared to release that info I promise to update the information. Lets for the sake of argument put the SIM card aspect aside. The important part is the document in question confirms the existence of the handset in question. Number one rule of journalism is protect your source. If i gave out that information that would put him/her at considerable risk. I promise there will be more info soon.

I've read it a few times. It indeed insinuates that, even if not intentional.

Several thousand people have read it and not everyone came away with the sims are galaxy nexus specific especially since we provide the sku number. They are regular ATT LTE sims and I will update the post to clarify this. Do with the rest of the information from my last reply what you will.

It would be shocking if AT&T wasn't buying USIM's without a LTE logo. Yes, logo. There is no physical difference between a UMTS 3G USIM and one used in LTE devices.
SOURCE: Gemalto, who makes most of the SIM's for AT&T
Damn and I just paid $498 for a GSM to use on AT&T. However LTE in my area is delayed so LTE model would be useless to me. Plus AT&T branding and bloat ware Yuck!
I have two upgrades in May due. If anything Id rather get a One X for $199 hopefully to try out and still keep my Nexus. Never tried Sense so who knows. I really just like the look and screen quality of the One X. I could always sell it for $500 if it doesn't work out.

we have photographs of these sims with no LTE logo thanks to our friends at radio shack so im sorry that is not entirely true. Also we know these SIMS have been being used since the 4th quarter of last year so we are aware that there is no difference. For some of you there won't be truth to it until the phone is announced but it's funny those are the people who scrutinize speculation the most. We have clarified the original story on our site for those people and for now we will wait and see. I'm only here commenting because my story is here. I don't care to convince anyone specific of it's validity, as for our readers, us reporting it makes it valid enough.
Good day sir

is hardly convincing anyone. Blogs get things wrong all the time. Blogs that have exclusives that no others can validate tend to get them wrong more often.
So I hope you are right, but will not be shocked if you are not.
Posts 11, 12, 13, and 16 part of the answer is in post 10
So unless someone has pictures of the device, sales materials, etc.... how is this a "confirmed" rumor?
5 bucks says only the 16GB version will be available.
....I remember reading about a month ago that Samsung has stopped producing the 32 GB version and will focus on a 16 GB version to promote cloud storage. Hopefully its BS for you ATT guys and girls. Watch for it none the less.

I got a nexus 6. Traded it for my Note 4, plus the guy gave me 50 bucks. So that sweetened the deal for me. Overall I'm very happy with the trade, especially because I have an unlocked bootloader and can put any rom I want on it. So happy beyond belief. I'm sorry to anyone still stuck on their ATT note 4. It was pure boredom for me. Wish everyone on this forum luck, and it was fun while it lasted with you guys!

I feel l ya.
Personally, I won't own a Nexus. I need a top notch camera, and it just falls short.
But between the Note 5 lacking expandable memory, I have chosen to go with the LV V10 (when released) as my next phone, even though I love the Note line. And, of course, AT&T will not ever be in my carrier line again.
This video had some pretty nifty tips to address the battery and expandable memory issues in the note 5 - https://youtu.be/lFyZ5YyAsk4..
Everyone carries a battery pack anyway and I've personally not replaced the battery on note 4 since I bought it last year..

I'm happy for you. Personally I will never buy another Samsung phone again from AT&T. If they want government contracts that much then go right ahead. I'm going to definitely get new LG V10 when it comes out but hoping that the bootloader isn't locked and that I can at least put in a 128gb micr sd memory card. With Samsung doing what they did to make the S6 more like the Note series it's safe to say that the Galaxy Note series is officially dead. It's crazy how Samsung sacrificed their best selling line of phones for another line of phones that fail every year in sales and customer satisfaction. You would have thought that the Galaxy Note series would've became Samsung's new flagship phone. Wish I still had my Note 3 cause it was rooted but I'm stuck now with the Note 4. LG V10 or an iPhone cause those are my only options.

Couple things.
First, placing your pictures in Google, according to their policy you agree to when you use it, allows them to use any of those pictures for advertisement of their products or services. And they can do so without your permission, since you agree to it by using them to store your pics. Frankly, I'm not too keen on that one.
Also, since I listen to a lot of music, but get songs from different sources, Google Music is not an option since you can't listen to songs through them that was not purchased through them.
Music & pictures/camera are my primary concerns when buying a new phone, and I use a lot of space for them. On my Note 4, I've got a 128gb card with a 32gb phone, and I'm down to 12 gigs on the card and 6 on the phone. But personally, I love having everything I want at my fingertips without using external storage or needing to be around a signal.

I'm a die hard Google music user. I uploaded my entire music collection to Google. Over 100 gigs total. None of it was purchased through google. I stream it every day from their app without problems.

With 5.1.1 the note 4 is a brand new phone ?, i am actually liking the phone and functionality. It's smooth and just feels good to use. If you haven't updated you need to, update to the 5.1.1 on att totally worth the trouble.

So, Im with you guys on this... I CANNOT use an unrooted phone. Problem is, I also MUST have a stylus with pin point precision... Can anyone help me out bc I cant find a single device (NO APPLE) that has one besides the note line! I would go back to my Note 2 if the screen wassnt smashed... Are their ANY options for my needs? TIA!
Find a t-mobile version of the Note 4, unlock it and use it on AT&T. It's rootable and flashable.

Looking at the specs for both, it looks like they're MOSTLY identical...except that AT&T and T-Mo have most, but not all, of the same frequencies for UMTS and LTE bands. Everything seems the same, except:
AT&T
UMTS 900 (Band 8)LTE 2600 (Band 7)T-Mobile
UMTS 1700/2100 (Band 4)LTE 900 (Band 8)LTE 1800 (Band 3)
Are the frequencies that AT&T and T-Mo share, those frequencies that they both use most commonly, and the above frequencies are mostly just for increasing available bandwidth for their respective networks? Or is it possible that either of them might use only the above bands, in some areas?
I have no idea about frequency stuff. All I know is that I've read on here about people getting the t-mobile version specifically because the AT&T version is not rootable.

Yes, the frequencies between AT&T and T-Mobile are different and do matter when it comes to data. You will not be able to get access to all towers LTE tech unless the phone has the proper hardware in it. It will limit your 4G usage but you could at least have a rooted phone. You kind of have to pick your poison in that regards.

I hope the other guy sees this, then. I'm not in the market to swap phones. I'm fine on my stock AT&T note 4. This makes sense, though.

Actually, from what I could tell, if pdadb.net and wikipedia have their respective info correct (and current), the only frequencies the T-Mobile version doesn't have, that the AT&T version has, are frequencies that aren't even used by any U.S. carriers. According to pdadb.net, the frequencies the AT&T version can use, that aren't available on the T-Mobile Note 4 are UMTS 900 (Band 8), and LTE 2600 (Band 7). According to this Wikipedia article, the LTE2600 band isn't in use anywhere in the US. It's used in Canada, but I don't anticipate visiting there, or anywhere else outside of the US, any time soon. (There's another article that shows similar info about the UMTS900 band, but that's even less relevant.)
So, it looks like I'm looking for a T-Mobile Note 4, if I can find one for cheap, that's not too scratched up, or anything.
I just gave up on my att note 4. Switched to the T-mobile version.

Gave my wife the Note 4 cause she broke her Lg G Pro. Had to use my Nexus 4 for a week. I kind of like the small form factor. Any ways..picked up a Lg G3 off ebay for $150 bucks like new. Enjoying custom roms!

Black Friday
Hey guys,
I just purchased the 4G Note 10+ from Samsung in the US (I'm on Sprint and they only offered the 5G for Verizon customers). I currently have a Note 5 (about time for an upgrade). My concern is that after a bunch of research, I won't be able to do the things I've enjoyed doing on my Note 5. So, I am considering returning the one I ordered from Samsung in the US and ordering the Note 10+ Exynos version from a website like Clove so that I can still root it. I don't care about Samsung Pay or WiFi calling, so I'm fine losing those.
From my understanding, CDMA doesn't work well with Sprint on Exynos. I even heard some talk about it being throttled. Should I be concerned?
Will the 5G work with Sprint now or in the future, even though they have an exclusive deal with Verizon right now and are there any gotchas?
Can I just request a SIM card from Sprint or I do I need to do something funky with an international SIM first?
Is there anything else to look out for or that I'm not considering?

From my understanding and looking through eBay at the international note 10 listings the exynos phone is GSM only. It will not work with Sprint or Verizon at all.

Thank you. I believe you are absolutely right. You just saved me a lot of hassle.
I'm going to return the phone I ordered and wait for the (hopefully) OnePlus 7 Pro 5G Sprint variant to come out.
Honestly, I was tired of having to choose between being able to backup my phone (basically all I want root for) or being able to encrypt my phone (which is lost when you root it). With the OnePlus 7 Pro I could do all that, not have a hole in my screen, it's cheaper, and would be 5G too. So whatever. I'll miss the SDCard and wireless charging, but that's about it. Too bad neither have a headphone jack, that might have kept me on it too. Okay, done ranting. Thanks again!

It's speculation, but there's a good chance. I'll probably hold out for more information until October at the latest before I plan a switch.
