From what I have read, the X version will only have edge on T-Mo USA unless you are in an area that T-Mo has refarmed their 1900 spectrum to handle 3g. But the good news is the AT&T version called the One X also, not One XL, will have on bot the LTE and WCDMA side the AWS band(1700) so we should get 3g and maybe 4g on it. Fingers crossed!!!
I pre-order the global one ... and i live in denver,co how can i know if t-mo switch to other band ?
Thanks
if i were you, i'd cancel and wait for the AT&T version and then order that one full-price from probably the same place. The currect Tegra one doesn't and wont support T-Mobile at more than Edge speeds. But the AT&T version unlocked will at worst only suport Edge but at best support 3g/4g due to the bands.
yup you can use it with tmobile if you are lucky enough to live in an area with the 1900mhz band..luckily i live in an area with 1900mhz 3g band

Hi Note lovers!
So I'm looking to get the international version of the note 2, apparently it has LTE on board but i was wondering what frequencies, because I was hoping to get it working on bell mobility in Canada. I know it will work with the HSPA networks and all so its not a big deal for me but if anyone knows about the lte bands on the phone and on bell that would be great!
happy hacking

2600mhz band is deployed for Bell/Rogers. Int'l version will have this band. However, the 2600mhz coverage is faster than the AWS LTE being mainly deployed by Bell/Rogers/TELUS, which could mean spotty coverage and poor building penetration of the signal.

ahha thanks! so technically it will work but really depends on what spectrum they are using in my area?
Be aware the international n7100 that is being offered for pre orders does NOT have lte built in. The lte model (n7105) is coming later.

Is anyone using the international version of the Note 2 (Which I gather has the model number N7100) on T-mobile in the US? I am only interested in makign sure HSPA+ "4G" speeds will work for me.
In case originating country matters, I am looking to import from India.
The 3g speed will not work on T-mobile only edge. I am using At&t and I am having hspa+.

Have you tried using it? The 7100 specs show support for 2100 band o 3G and wikipedia says T-Mobile runs on 1700/2100 for 3G. Do both bands need to be supported for it to work?

Yes, TMo US uses a split AWS band 1700/2100 for 3G and needs both to work.
However, in some cities TMo has refarmed some spectrum at 1900MHz for 3G use, and if you are lucky enough to be in one, you would get 3G.

For t-mobile USA, their HSPA+ network (or 4G you called) use AWS band, which refers to 1700/2100. The international version N7100 is UMTS/HSPA 800/850/1900/2100. This N7100 is missing the t-mobile USA magic number 1700. So you will not get their HSPA+ speed.
However, with recent t-mobile project on refarming their PCS1900 frequency in the US, the N7100 will work on HSPA+ network, BUT not at current moment in all states. Only specific cities such as Las Vegas, NV will work.
T-mobile USA promised the PCS1900 band will fully operate by end of 2012, so i would say NO for now, but yes in year 2013.
It will depend on how long you would like to wait but t-mobile does have galaxy note 2 (model SGH-T889) which might start selling on October 24, 2012.
Side Note - October 24, 2012 is a big day for US people who want galaxy note 2 as this is the day Samsung Mobile Electronics USA makes for the US Launch events in New York City for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for all 5 US major wireless carriers. :good::good::good::good::good:

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the input. Gives me a better idea of what I am looking at. I spoke to T-Mobile and it looks like my area does not have 3G on 1900/2100 as yet. (Though a couple of towns close by seem to have gotten it recently).
I was looking at getting the phone quickly as I am stuck with a Nokia N9 with a cracked screen and need a new phone.
I really dislike the T-mobile branding on the phone. Are there any other issues like locked Bootloader or T-Mobile bloatware I should be worried about? And do they sell unlocked versions from day one?

well, in my opinion i would say i will get the t-mobile branded t-mobile galaxy note II. Reason why is the FCC report for SGH-T899 shows it is LTE ready. N7100 is LTE capable, but you wont be able to use T-mobile LTE network when they finsihed deploying. Again, T-mobile LTE magic number is 700 and 1700 for their LTE band frequency. I am not exactly sure if N7100 has 700 mhz band, but if not, then it will be stuck in HSPA+ while others can enjoy the LTE speed.
Yes, SGH-T899 does have t-mobile bloatware, and bootloader might be unlocked but since you are in this forum, so i am sure great developers in this forum can get easily fixed.
They dun sell unlocked version, but if you are the t-mobile primary account holder, you can call them for the unlock code. They will email you unlock code and instruction with 48 hours.
Side Note - N7100 UMTS/HSPA max speed is 21Mbps. T-mobile branded SGH-T899 is 42.2Mbps max speed for HSPA+.

I am currently using my GT-I9300 on T-Mobile's 1900 band in Las Vegas and i'm getting "ok" speeds of about 4-6mbps down and 1mbps up in certain areas and at certain times. For example during night time i get that speed but throughout the day i get 2-4 down and 1 up. It's ok, not that great...not awful either but it works. I'm honestly tired of having a beast phone with a crap internet connection. Take the bad with the good if you can.
I'm a little confused. I thought (and was pretty sure) N7100 does not support 4G LTE.

Hi, I am.
I live in the DC area and usually get h+. Only problem is that when I am moving around and going into an area that hasn't been refarmed, I pass to edge...
It got so annoying that I bought a nexus 4 and started using that, which always worked on h+ seamlessly.
Too bad I got tired of it after two weeks and went back to the note2! I'm hoping that tmobile will improve the areas it covers with h+...
EDGE only

I wish this was true..I have a Galaxy Note II GT-N7105T:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 - N7105
4G Network LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2600 - N7105
I live in an area in Las Vegas where 1900 is supposedly refarmed but I am only still getting EDGE.
Can anyone tell me if an AT&T GS3 is compatible on the T-Mobile network? I found a great deal on one. Thanks!
You would get edge unless T-Mobile has deployed 1900mhz bands in your area

Yeah it should work since under t-mobile it has 1900mhz listed, so 3G should work...
I thought the whole remapping to the 1900 mhz spectrum was supposed to increase coverage area? Cause it says i got the 1900 mhz band in my area and if anything service sucks other than edge. I wish i had my sprint Touch Pro 2 to test the 3g on.
T-mobile already uses the 1900mhz band for its Edge radio signal. The phone will work on T-mobile's network but you will only get Edge 2G speeds unless you're one of the (very)few areas that have already been updated to send HSPA+42 out on the 1900 mhz band.
You should call and ask a tmobile rep or better yet call/visit a local store or kiosk and ask if they have upgraded your area for 1900mhz 4G.
A quick search reveals that they have announced that they have 1900mhz 4G in the following cities:
Seattle,
Washington D.C.,
Los Angeles,
New York,
Las Vegas,
Kansas City.
I also went to the T-mobile coverage map and they have new icons for their upgrade rollout. 1 Icon says "New Cell Site" which means that a site has been upgraded and is ready for LTE to be installed but has yet to be installed (probably in 2013 as they announced) and another Icon which isn't listed on the icon legend which is a small magenta/pink circle, when zoomed in far, over one of the above listed cities showing that it is live with 1900mhz 4g and will support AT&T and international phones(iPhone) on the network.

No, they already use 1900mhz for EDGE as stated. You'll only get HSPA in small parts of California, Colorado and a few others. As well as parts of the East Coast.

I called a tmobile rep who said that the Xiaomi Mi Max is compatible with tmobile's 4G LTE. Meanwhile a few users have said that it may not be compatible. So I dont know who to believe. Could you guys who own this phone and who are on tmobile tell me if its compatible on tmobile's 4G LTE?

A tmobile rep emailed me the LTE bands that tmobile currently uses for New York City. He said the phone is compatible. Look below at the tmobile bands. Compare those with the bands on the Xiaomi Mi Max, which is linked here:

Let me know you think!!!!
T-mobile network frequencies in New York are:
2G (GSM)
4G/3G U2100
4G/3G U1900
LTE 2100
LTE 1900
LTE 700A

Well if that's the case it should work, the 2100 & 1900 LTE band's are covered but both of those are short range, long range one LTE 700A is not covered but same situation is in EU regarding LTE band 800. Still I don't guarantee you it will work, it should & close to the towers with those two short range bands if you're info is correct (phone side is correct and same as listed on GSMarena).

I live in NYC and I get about 5 mbps down using tmo. In comparison, using my note 4 I get around 30mpbs. In NYC you will be using the refarmed 3g network, not LTE. My phone switches between 3g and h+ but it's essentially the same thing
