[Q] Which LTE Bands - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello;
I just bought an M8 from Turkey and I want to know which frequencies for 3G and LTE are supported. There is not enough info on the package or on the website. Is there an app that shows which frequencies my M8 supports? I couldn't find any.

T-mobile Samsung Note 2 support 3G 2100 MHz?

I am going back to Thailand next year. I will get this Galaxy note 2 unlock and take it with me.
However, in my country has 3G on 2100 MHz with 3 main carries as follow.
3G
Carries name Band
AIS 1950 MHz - 1965 MHz and 2140 MHz - 2155 MHz
TRUE 1935 MHz - 1950 MHz and 2125 MHz - 2140 MHz
DTAC 1920 MHz - 1935 MHz and 2110 MHz - 2135 MHz
I was trying to understand what it says on box of Tmobile Note 2.
GSM Quad-band: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz UMTS: Band I ,band II, Band IV (Dual-band1700/2100 MHz), Band V
I don't get it much and I am not 100% sure that the phone does support 3G in my country.
Please some experts in here could help me confirm this. Would you please answer this for me? I appreciate every reply and thank you for your time.

I think you should be good to go... The International variant has fewer bands then we do on our T-mobile device so I wouldn't expect that you would have any troubles...:fingers-crossed:
A quick search reveals the following frequency bands in use in Thailand:
•AIS:
GSM 900, GSM 1800, UMTS 900 [VIII]
•TOT3G:
GSM1900, UMTS 2100
•DTAC:
GSM 1800, UMTS 850 [V]
•TrueMove:
GSM 1800, UMTS 850 [V]
The T-mobile Galaxy Note 2 supports the following frequency bands:
HSDPA: 850 [V], 1700/2100 [IV], 1900 [II], 2100
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
Judging by this, it seems like your best bet is TOT3G, DTAC, and TrueMove for UMTS functionality. All three of these have frequency bands supported by the Galaxy Note 2.

That's old information. These frequencies were used temporary.
They just auctioned the frequencies for 3G in Thailand. The auction is approved by Thai government. I have described the range of frequencies at the first post. But I am not sure it is in 2100 MHz. Any idea?
Thank you for reply.

Will the LTE version bought in the US work in the UK

I see that the T-Mobile LTE version is available in the US on the play store. It is significantly cheaper than in the UK.
I bought the v1 WiFi nexus 7 in the US and had no issues. If I buy the LTE version from the US can I assume that I can use it on a UK mobile network without issue? I presume both are gsm and there is no issue?
Thanks

Even GSM networks operate on different frequencies on different continents. LTE networks may have other frequencies than GSM networks.
I found a (german) comparisation list for LTE frequencies. For US, there are 700, 1700, 1900 and 2100 MHz listed; for UK there are 800, 1800 and 2600 MHz noted.
So, if you buy an US version, it will be useless in UK. Besides the useability, you may have to pay taxes on import, additional to p&p. Will it still be cheaper then?

For France, same frequencies than UK.
We will use someday 700 MHz also.
Some of us are waitin 4 an Euro LTE Nexus 7.
I found something about the Nexus 7 ... on http://www.google.com/nexus/7/ .
Scroll down until you see a link "Tech Specs". Open it and scroll a bit down; all GSM, UMTS and LTE frequencies are listed for different world areas.
The US and the EU version share most LTE frequency cpabilities, but the US version can operate on 700 and 750 MHz (which the EU device can't use) while the EU one can operate on 800 and 2600 MHz (which the US device can't use).
So it depends on your carrier's frequencies if you can operate an US device in UK or not.

My brother is over in the US next week and could therefore bring it back without P&P and most likely other charges.
In the UK the price is 320 GBP so the saving is around 100GBP with the currency conversion.
Currently I have my mobile with T-Mobile and a sim that I use in a mifi on Three. I am looking to move the Three mifi sim into the Nexus but I don't think that looks like it would work as it states they will use 800 and 1800. I presume that both frequencies are used?
The US device can't use the 800 MHz band, but the 1800. Maybe your carrier operates LTE at 1800, maybe not. Can't say that from here (Germany).
Going to take a chance. The US price for the LTE is cheaper than the WiFi only in the UK. Will advise how I get on

Same here Czech rep, 32 gb lte is the same price than 16 gb wifi here. But i need the 3G/4G internet can't risk it i must know
Aidenbree: this is exactly what i was thinking of doing too, so thanks for asking the question! I'm also on Three and would be really interested to hear how you get on. £100 saving is worth thinking about!
are they have different hardware ?
North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/1700/2100 (AWS) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)
LTE: 700/750/850/1700/1800/1900/2100 MHZ (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/13/17)
Europe:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/1700/2100 (AWS) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)
LTE: 800/850/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 MHz (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/20)
or only radio software different?
if they just use different radio, it may work by change radio

Surprisingly, the radio software is the same, in fact everything software wise is identical between both devices, there is but a single firmware for both devices. I am not even sure if the US version can't technically use band 7 and vice/versa, has anyone tried to connect to a LTE network in the EU using a US LTE Nexus 7 ? Maybe those specs are just "limited" to comply with FCC/EU regulations/certifications (Paying for the CE certification for a specific frequency can be expensive)
If there is a difference then some flag must be set hardware wise to tell the radio what frequencies it can tune to.

omg
the radio is the same
seem they fix the band though hardware
any chance the software detect the mobile services provider to decide using which band

[Q] Nexus 7 LTE Japan to Philippines

Just a question,
I'm here in Japan and I found out that the Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Edition is quite cheaper here
than in Philippines.
Would the Nexus LTE here in Japan work on the LTE connection in Philippines?
Thank you! (Sorry if some of you find the question noob-ish, i'm just not sure)
I think it will work here in the philippines since hardwares are also sinilar and the baseband/frequency forgot the exact name

Really? I'm really hesitating right now if I really should buy or not.
What carrier are you planning to use it with? You can look up what frequencies and band that carrier uses, e.g. 850 MHz and band 1.
Here's the LTE frequency/band info: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/3248332
North America and Japan:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/2100/AWS (1700/2100) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)
LTE: 700/850/1700/1800/1900/2100 MHZ (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/13/17)
Rest of World:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSPA+: 850/900/1900/2100/AWS (1700/2100) MHz (Bands: 1/2/4/5/8)
LTE: 800/850/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 MHz (Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/20)
Thanks for the info.
So I'm planning to enter Globe Telecom, so does it means I can use a Nexus 7 LTE from Japan to LTE in Philippines?
Globe uses 1800 MHz as its LTE frequency, but you should check what band they use.

LTE channels

I'm living in europe and ilooked at HTC one site, i understand that the developer/unlocked devices have the same bands as AT&T.
in the HTC site specs the bands are:
4G - LTE:
AT&T: 700/850/AWS/1800/1900/2600 MHz
So AT&t/dev/unlocked have 700/850/AWS/1800/1900/2600
But in this site: http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=42977
it says that the bands are 17/4/2/5 which are 1700, 1900, 850 and 700.
What are the right specs?
