Are there PHYSICAL different radios between i9195 per carrier
or just SOFTWARE as some have different bands available?
I want to buy a phone on EBAY to use in New Zealand, Australia
3G: 850 (New Zealand), 2100 (Australia)
4G: 1800
Samsung S4 E370K i9195 description does not include 850MHZ 3G.

Can you get WCDMA 850 if you flash a modem?

CDMA 3G in Europe?
This arcticle mentions this is a CDMA 3G /umts data capable, but isn't this a US - only service that will not function in Europe?
T-mobile is still a German company, i think they will sell it in Germany as well. Maybe there will be different versions?!
My understanding, based on a thread over at Howard Forums, is that this is a tri-band phone (i.e. no 850 MHz) and will NOT be offered in the USA. Cingular (the biggest GSM provider in the US) is moving to 850 MHz, so this device may not work on their network.
This device will work in the USA with T-Mobile as the service provider.
Cingular own 850 and 1900 spectrum however I've read on HoFo that the 850 band is becoming the control band (i.e. you need this to register on the network). I have tried my cingular SIM in my SE P800 and it doesn't connect to the network.

[Q] Is it possible to change hardware on Samsung Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G CDMA to support S

I am having Samsung Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G CDMA which has no SIM. But I am leaving now in Europe. Is it possible to change hardware that this phone will support SIM?
Or I can just throw this phone away because it is useless now.
EDIT:
I get answer from the provider:
Net Frequency: GSM 900/1800, W-CDMA 2100
can I use it with this phone?
thx

It makes a nice mp3 player, but otherwise you are out of luck. It is not a world phone.
No. You can't change it to a GSM phone.

Need to upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.4

Hi everyone.
I live in Pakistan and I have just bought a used LG G2 LS-980 32GB Sprint Variant. and it's working perfectly fine.
It's running official 4.2. It's rooted and SUPER SU as well as Busy Box is also installed on it. I don't know if any custom recovery is currently installed on it neither I know how to check it.
** Points to remember, Sprint is not a Network currently present in Pakistan.
I've been using a local network "Mobilink" . Mobilink is using the following frequency( GSM on 900 MHZ & 1800 MHZ & 3G on 2100 MHZ) on my G2.
I am not sure whether it has been unlocked to work here in Pakistan with local networks or not.
Now I want to upgrade to it's official 4.4 so please guide me the procedure. Also I want to make sure that my local network "Mobilink" will work on it after upgrading to 4.4.
- Thanks

LTE B20 band on PIC-LX9 not working

Hi,
on Ebay I bought a brand new Huawei Nova 2 PIC-LX9. This is a variant that should be able to operate on LTE band B20 800MHz.
Unfortunately, in places where only LTE B20 band is available, the phone is connected to EDGE . I searched a bit and found out that the model designation differs in several places:
in the android settings - PIC-LX9
in the engineering mode (after entering the code *#*#2846579#*#*) - PIC_AL00_VE
on the box and battery cover of the phone - PIC-LX9
in the Chinese manual - PIC-AL00.
I have few questions:
-what´s problem with LTE ? Bug after update? Or is this a rebranded phone?
-Is the hardware of all Nova 2 variants the same?
-Is it possible to unlock/enable the B20 band?

Question 5G bands with AT&T prepaid

AT&T told me that I have to upgrade my prepaid plan in order to get 5G speeds (I know, they're not really 5G), and I don't want to keep $1100 phone and pay more for service if I am unable to get them because phone does not have correct bands. Three websites list different bands for US model and I could swear OnePlus website did not list bands n260 and n261 a week ago. Then who is finally right?

Or finally OnePlus?
If you buy the North American variant, the bands are there.
But the problem with AT&T is that OnePlus has not certified
the 9 series for their 5G network so you wanna double check that
but regardless you have to buy the correct model for North America(U.S & Canada).
