[Q] Are all N900T LTE capable?

I would like to know if all the N900T are LTE enabled or if there is a 3G only model and a LTE model, and if there is how to differentiate them.
I'm looking to buy a N900T in ebay but only a couple listing actually mention LTE capabilities, while a lot of the listings mention 3G capabilities, so I'm a bit confused here.
I can't find any info on different versions of the N900T, and all the info I've found points to all N900T being one model with LTE capabilities. is this correct?
thanks

Yes I'm aware that the N900T is the t-mo version, and that is the one I am interested in as I'm looking for bands 4 & 7 for use in Mexico with Movistar (B7); and Telcel (B4).
So if I read your response correctly ALL note 3 have support for LTE, Bands depending on specific model?
thanks

For Telcel - you would be better getting the N900w8 Canadian/Mexican version -- This version also has the ability to root without tripping KNOX and upgrade/downgrade to/from 4.4.2/4.3 - Which is nice -- Check out @polish_pat's guide over on the international Note 3 forum if you decide to opt for this model :good:
EDIT: Side note, not ALL note's support LTE - N900 Exynos do not support LTE as they have a different CPU.

Thanks for the suggestion, but besides the point that N900W are much harder to find, my main carrier is Movistar, Telcel is my "backup" mainly for my mifi liberate hotspot. I also travel frequently to the usa so I have a prepaid T Mobile SIM I also use, so for my scenario I think the N900T is the best option.
thanks

Some countries don't use it I guess - Samsung introduced the Exynos on the S4 I think, and done a Qualcomm model also which we know as Snapdragon 800 with LTE

I use my T-Mo unlocked Note 3 in Mexico on both T-Mobile and Telcel with no issues. I get LTE speeds with Telcel. I wasn't aware Movistar had LTE yet, but I only use them if I need a throwaway phone, which given my lack of illegal activity is never.
edit - I'll post a video on Youtube later of my Note 3 on Telcel's LTE using speedtest.net

The SM-N900T Note 3 supports bands 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), and 8(900)
The B series LTE bands supported are B4 (1700/2100) and B17 (700)
It doesn't look like there is much of anything you can do since the SM-N900T doesn't support the LTE bands that are used in Asia.

The Verizon variant only supports 2 bands of LTE (Band 4 and Band 13). So if your area doesn't have either one of those Bands, you will most likely be stuck on Edge.

Ok

Download LTE discovery from the Play Store and it will tell you which band you are utilizing for LTE.

There's an existing 10 page thread about this very topic. All of your questions are likely to be already be answered there.

Unlocked US HTC 10 won't connect to 3G Band 900

Hi everyone. I recently purchased a HTC 10 from swappa, the unlocked version. The thing is, on gsmarena and HTC US page says that this model works on 850/900Mhz bands for UMTS (H/H+), but here in DR, i'm trying to use it with Orange Dominicana, who works on 900Mhz band for UMTS and the phone doesnt... It goes from LTE to 2G, and when on LTE i cant receive phone calls. I need to put it on 2G to receive calls, but the data sucks at those speeds.
Anyone knows a way that i can be sure if the phone really doesn't have this particular band (900Mhz) for UMTS? or a way to see if i can activate it if its available but inactive? I try 2 phones (a friend of mine bought one, same model) and is the exact same behavior on both.

See my signature about adding bands.
At least you can check if it is enabled and perhaps try to add it too

I haven't tried adding bands yet. I'm interested since Viva is rolling out 4G service in the next few months. If my HTC 10 isn't compatible with their 4G or 3G (even though they said it will be), then I'll be looking at adding more bands.

Thanks for the sugestion. I did not follow your method since CDMA Tools is no longrer available in DEMO version and licences are really expensive (100+ Dollars) to just test. I followed the method suggested by @fffft (That can be found here) since it applyes to all Qualcomm devices using QPST and QXMD.
Long story short, I had to Root, set a custom recovery, a custom ROM and even a custom Kernel to try the method but It did not work to me. The irony of all of this is that technically I my HTC 10 has all bands available to be used. See the picture Attached.
@stifilz do you have any Ideas?

Is there any way to add LTE/WCDMA/GSM (Auto) option in a rooted SM-N750 ?

So my phone is an Indian Note 3 Neo (SM-N750) which has an Exynos processor as you might already know. I need to activate the above requested option so as to trick a LTE only sim into believing that my device can support LTE so that it can at least provide me 3G speeds.
Just for clarification, MediaTek and Qualcomm based users can do this using engineer mode tools and services and I know about that. I just want to know is it possible on an Exynos device or not.

See i need this option to trick a 4G only sim into believing that i have a 4G ready device. Just for the sake of learning if it can be done or not. No particular use as such .

Question Is there a way to lock bands?

my phone spends way too much time switching between lte bands 1,3 and 20

How can I check if I have the same issue? What app gives this information? Thanks.

try lte discovery. it will tell you which band you are currently on

Band locking is not possible with this phone.

Not possible currently, or it likely will never be possible?

Network Signal Guru, It's in the PlayStore you will need a rooted device.

it only works for snapdragon

The pre-release versions floating around work with the Pixel but you cannot lock with them.
