I bought this because the reception on my S2 is just unbearable.
It's advertised as being 4G/LTE But it seems the out of box bands are every band except the ones North American carriers use.
Has anyone gotten true 4G/LTE reception on AT&T in America? I9190 model? I9195? Do the Qualcomm tools work for unlocking bands?
I'm sure 3G reception will at least be better than on my S2.
EDIT: Found the Answer. It has 5 LTE bands, none of which are used in America. So no 4G or LTE on this model in america. For anyone wanting LTE on AT&T in America get an SGH-I257M/SGH-I257 model. I just bought a motherboard off ebay. Also, apparently all I9195 roms work on I257M just fine.

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.

I'm looking into getting the n5100 from Asia to use as a Phablet on the Telus network (850/1900) in Canada.
I've been looking online to confirm whether the phone is a true quad band that would work.
On the Samsung UK site (only place I found spec on the 3G version), it says it's depends on regions. And there aren't much resources online listing whether the N5100 has specific models that are quad band vs others that are not.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Where are you getting yours, if Hong Kong only LTE version n5120 unless you bought gray market N5100 which is import from somewhere else.
I just received my N5120 LTE and use it on rogers. LTE working fine I think it only work on the 2600mhz the other band is for Europe and Asia area, so you have to check with telus if they have the 2600. I also test 3g and it work without any problem but same issue, it is tri band 3g, and only 850mhz the other band is for other area.
For n5100 form Taiwan Samsung website, is said it support 3g quad band 850/900/1900/2100mhz just like my Tab 7.7, so I guess you will not have any problem using it on Telus.
They are releasing an att version soon. It will work for you
N5100 from India is also quad band (3g+wifi )

Once a custom rom is completed is it possible to turn lte on for the at&t network band?
IIRC the LTE model of the S4 Mini only has the bands used internationally and not the bands used by At&t in the US. This is a hardware restriction that cannot be fixed with software.
But, an LTE model of the S4 Mini with At&t LTE capability just passed through the FCC a few days ago so it may be coming to At&t:

As title states,
I own an N7105, originally bought in Hong Kong to be used in Hong Kong.
I am now in Canada, Toronto to be exact and I am using Rogers as my network provider.
2G,3G and 4G all work fine, but not sure about network coverage. I use a N7105XXDLL5 baseband on my current ROM.
My battery drains like crazy when switching between a low 3G coverage to 2G or low 4G to 3G.
So I was wondering, which modem should I use to have the best coverage in Canada/Rogers? Since all modems in the N7105 (International) means support for carriers outside of the North American carriers, as they have their own variants sold.
Or, should I just stick with my current baseband as it is more 'international', 'widely used' or 'all rounded'?
Much help appreciated,
Nicholas
Anyone know?

Hi there ,
I have an s4 sgh m919 from tmobile and I live in venezuela I already unlocked the phone but it only receive EDGE signal because my carrier lte 4g uses the lte band3 (1800mhz) wich this phone doesnt have.
Is there anyway to "unlock" that band ? Or I have to buy the international version?
