I assume the quad core gs3 is GSM? Will it work with T-Mobile 4G HSPA+? My friend is on T-Mobile and is planning to get the gs3 off contact. He wanted me to find out if T-Mobile 4G will work with the quad core version or should he just buy the T-Mobile version instead.

It will work but you will be stuck on Edge.
I'd check what frequencies it has. I'm using a T-Mobile version on at&t and get 4g data. If the international version has T-Mobile's frequencies then it should work.

Are you getting 4g lte or hspa? I don't think t-mobile s3 can do lte

Would this work?
Tmobile uses Band (frequency): 850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (AWS);UMTS: Band V (850)
Device Additional Information tab on that site says "Service 900, 1800, 1900, 850, 3g 2100"
But at the top of the page it says "Band:GSM 850/900/1800/1900"
T-Mobile UMTS/HSPA+ (3G/4G) mostly runs off 1700/2100 and the international model i9300 does not support the frequency we use. The quad band GSM/EDGE will work (and therefore voice/text and slow internets).
AT&T uses a more normal 850/1900 for everything but LTE, making them more "Normal" along with our Canadian neighbors.
T-Mobile is weird :-o.
If you've got access to any make of GSM based + unlocked iPhone, stick your T-Mobile SIM in it and see what speed you can get. An unlocked AT&T phone may work for testing also. We're supposed to be getting better coverage in this kinda frequency range for that but it will likely be a long time before we get sufficient coverage to enjoy a i9300.
Well put. It will be a long time before we see decent coverage for AT&T/UK phones.

If The LTE Bands of the Note II are the 4 and 17 works with AT&T
As for us Canadians, the international willl use the 2600mhz. If so, then that's possible (with possible limited coverage and building penetration) for Canadian users.
I'm waiting to see how this goes. I can't get a Note II that can't do LTE.
The International version works on the LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 2100 bands.
It needs 800, 900, 1800 and 2600mhz for Europe. Unless it has those, it won't work.

Does AT&T require both 4 and 17 or something?
Or what's up with this article:

Cool this its my carrier LTE xDD
Damn, I need 2600mhz for LTE maybe next year there's gonna be a phone with LTE for me too.
Woww. If that's the case then what makes the AT&T version different then the international version? (besides the bloatware)
I could have been wrong. GSMArena is the only one with any specs up and it has the International Note with those frequencies. However, they could be wrong.

Hi My galaxy note 2 work in Poland without problems.
Hey guys,
So I know this may be a noob question but I bought my Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 yesterday in Italy. I know that Italy is getting 4G/LTE in 800/1800/2600 Frequencies. My N7100 accepts the 1800 mhz GSM frequency.
Does that mean I will be able to access the 4G?
If not, can I do something? Flash a radio?
If there is no solution with my current phone, ill need to get another phone and spend another 699 eur.
I know many say you need the Note II LTE but it will be on 700 and 2100, not the ones offered in Italy.
My friend has the same issue with his brand new SIII.
Ideas? Anyone help?
2G, 3G and 4G (LTE) can use various freqs in different regions. Sometimes they even share the same freq. A 1800Mhz 3G does not mean that 1800Mhz 4G will work. It's different a modem by hardware and software in the phone.

Your N7100 doesn't have an LTE radio, so it is never going to work on LTE.

Will a 4g enabled device like the iphone 5, galaxy note 2 or galaxy s3 bought in hong kong work on uk EE 4g.

That depends on the LTE bands that the device supports. You are looking for LTE band 3, which is 1800MHz.

The official LTE versions of the Note 2 and S3 from Hong Kong are tri-band LTE models. Running LTE bands 900mhz 1800mhz and 2600 mhz. So as long as your carrier has LTE in any of those bands it will work. The iphone 5 is only 1800mhz. I am currently using 4G on 1800 and 2600mhz as my carrier runs both bands.

Is there any way to get the 900 mhz European 3G frecuency working on a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3?. Maybe flashing the modem or something?
Going into the Service Mode menu I do see 900 mhz listed as an option. I would think it should work automatically, but I could be wrong.

If you are outside the U.S. Which i'm guessing you are. you will need to use the dialer code and manually set your band.
I'm currently getting Hspa and hspa + in London UK.
I didn't have to go into the service menu.

Doh. Just read this again. Back in the USA, so you mean I could have manually changed the frequency?

WiFi calling and texting from air plan would be the only different. But, you don't care for those.

The cost is the same and it is easy to unlock the T-Mobile version, so I would buy that to ensure you have support for all TMO bands.
Thanks guys. I'm gonna pick up the t-mobile then. Have the s6 now, lovely phone but I'm a flash addict lol

Lol, why would i google it ? I have a Developer edition on AT&T
If your on T-mobile buy a T-mobile phone like I said at the beginning
T-Mobile phone will likely contain band 12 which is a big deal for the refarmed area as it's in the 700mhz spectrum. More indoor penetration for better reception. I would get a T-Mobile variant > Sunshine > Flash Dev edition if you really don't care too much about Wifi Calling. Unless I'm mistaken and the Dev unit contains band 12. But usually the Dev edition caters more to AT&T than T-Mobile
Here is listing of developer and unlocked bands.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I just went through this and sent my dev edition back for the T-Mobile variant for 1 reason... Tmobiles HSPA+ allows download speeds of 42mbps.. On the Dev edition you will get HSPA+ but it's capped at 14mbps... So while the LTE bands may be supported it doesn't support T-Mobile's network fully
I guess the ATT Dev Edition is also different and probably doesn't support the T-Mo bands fully as well? Or are they similar?

Their is only one Developer Edition and one Unlocked edition - they are both identical to the AT&T version hardware wise
Ok but the HTC direct Dev Edition is different from both ATT and TMO edition when it comes to bands?

If your on either ATT or T-Mobile there is no reason really to get a Dev edition... Since it's so easy to root these things there no point imo

No the Developer Edition is identical to the AT&T phone except it unlocked and bloatware free (as well as different firmware numbers / CID)

But what about this? It appears there is a difference.

Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Free mobile app
So, from what I gathered, based on just searching HTC and T-mo's sites, these are the bandwidths supported for each device in question:
HTC One M9 Unlocked & Developer Edition Band Support
2 (1,900 MHz)
3 (1,800 MHz)
4 (1,700 MHz AWS)
5 (850 MHz)
7 (2,600 MHz)
12 (700 MHz lower A/B/C)
13 (700 MHz upper C)
17 (700 MHz lower B/C)
29 (700 MHz D/E)
30 (2,300 MHz WCS)
T-Mobile Band (frequency):
Quad Band GSM; LTE: 2, 3, 4, 7, 12, 17
UMTS: Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100), Band V (850)
Maybe someone a bit more savvy in this department can interpret this information into layman's terms? The HTC band frequencies seem easy enough, though I don't understand the letters at the end of specific frequencies. But interpreting the T-Mobile frequencies, at least in the UMTS section, is proving difficult in order to make an educated decision as to whether the developer edition is compatible. Personally, I don't care about WiFi calling and VoiLTE that comes with a T-Mobile branded device. I'm currently using an unlocked Att M7 on T-Mo network. But I do notice that the radio is different as far is signal, without hitting the forums for info. What I do care about is not having bloatware and having a fully unlocked device, so should I want to flash a WiFi calling tweak, if there is a stable one, I can do it with a little more ease. And no, I don't wish to use special apps to remove bloatware on a T-Mo version. I asked my husband since he did electrical engineering for the Navy to interpret but his exact words were " I do not understand civilian radio frequencies". So, a better understanding would be most appreciative. Thank you.
Edit: So far, I was able to find out from a friend that Dev Ed. wouldn't do well with 3G due to the lack of the combination of 1700/2100 frequencies. I can't see that as being too terribly important, but I figured I'd throw that in.
