t-mobile version on at&t - T-Mobile Note 7 Questions & Answers

I wanted to get the t-mobile version and use it on AT&T. Does anyone know if I will have trouble unlocking it or have any issues using it on AT&T network. I have unlimited data so I want to be able use hotspot option. Also, the box is hideous on AT&T.

My understanding is that all carriers got the same variant. Should have no issues, except maybe Wi-Fi calling being weird.

dont do it.
The tmobile and att use different brands so while it will work on the network the internet will be slower.
unless this has change but from what it has always been is the network brands where different and some people where not able to get 4g lte

I think they all have the same exact hardware. Someone on the Verizon forum took a Verizon phone and flashed the T-mobile firmware and it works perfectly. (I may have those carriers mixed up but you get the idea)

No no firmware is software base.
Im talking about network mhz Frequency.
If i remember right tmobile was 900mhz 1800mhz and 1900mhz
And att was 850mhz 1700 and 1900.
They used different bands for internet. So must people who switch couldnt get 4g internet.

I understand thank you. And what I am saying is I think they all have the same bands/hardware and just need a flash to unlock it all. Aka the pit file and bootloader.

Please read my previous post carefully and then click the link I provided. I am not arguing that the carriers use different bands.

Yea my bad didnt see the link you posted. But yea of the phonne has them build in just turn off that will work.
Before the phnes themself didnt have the bands

I have unlocked (SIM) my note 7 and it works great on AT&T. I tried a Sprint SIM and it wouldn't work. I even went to Sprint store and they tried to enter the IMEI in their system as a BYOD. Didn't work even after they tried adding it through their CS Techs on the phone. The T-Mobile version does not have the CDMA radios active. I haven't tried to flash it to Sprint to see if the Sprint ROM would enable the CDMA radio.

Awesome! How did you unlock it so soon? I thought t-mobile policy is to wait for 45 days

Can you flash non native ROM with locked bootloader? or is it just flashing modem ok?

So when the unlocked sm-n930u version is released, will we be able to flash that firmware on our phones? Allowing us to remove all the carrier bloatware that was installed.

[Q] 3G capability of AT&T HD7S in UK

I've just bought a AT&T HD7S off ebay from a US seller and I'm in the UK. It's not until just now that I considered how it might perform in the UK. I see that the AT&T HD7S lists HSDPA: 850/1900 MHz as its 3g frequencies, while the UK HD7 lists HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz. Does this mean I won't be able to get 3g signal on UK networks? Does anybody have experience using a AT&T HD7S in the UK?
The HTC Help & How To page lists the following:
What bands does my device support?
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSDPA/UMTS: 850/1900/1700(AWS)/1900/2100 MHz
But the Tech Specs page shows this:
UMTS: 1900/850
GSM/GPRS/AT&T: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
So I wonder if the phone actually supports 2100 MHz
And if so, since O2 HSDPA/3G in the UK runs on 900/2100 does this mean that the phone will still get 3G on 2100 MHz, but won't benefit from the 900 MHz band which enables coverage in harder to reach locations.
Secondly, should I only flash AT&T Radios on to this phone or can I flash the Europe modem found here forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD7/Radios ? Might doing so enable the 2100 MHz band which isn't used by AT&T ?

I got mine off ebay too (HD7S AT&T), did u manage to get the 3G working ? Please help me. Have you flashed the Euro radio ?
NO
UMTS: 1900/850
GSM/GPRS/AT&T: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
These are the correct specs.... because there's no 2100MHz band for GSM, the 2100MHz is used by CDMA networks.

[Q] Using American HTC One in Europe

Hello! I want to buy a HTC One from ebay and use it in Europe. Until now, when I bought from US, I chose either unlocked or from AT&T. Now, I'm not sure if there are any differences between US HTC One models. So, can anybody tell me if the One from Sprint would work in Europe? Ok. I've found out that the 2G bands would work after unlocking, but what about 3G and 4G? Thanks!
Check with your carrier and then compare the specs between the US and EU Ones to see which bands match up. I know in my case that Three UK would work for 3G using a DE One as Three use the 2100MHz band

Phonearena shows that 2G and 3G are the same for all models, but for 4G it shows this:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600
LTE 1800 / 2600
LTE 1900 - for Sprint
LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - for AT&T
LTE 700 / 1700 / 2100 - for T-Mobile
What does this mean? Does this mean that ALL HTC One phones have LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600? Why the next line says only LTE 1800 / 2600? Also, for example Sprint have LTE 1900, but also the other ones from above? I hope you can tell me this. Thank you!
PS: I need 800/900/1800/2600.
What SIM card are you putting going to use, e.g. from what carrier (Vodafone??)? Then compare their 2/3/4G bands and then check the specs for the different Ones available and see which is best for you (which is what I said before - it's not hard to understand)

Maybe my english was not so good, but I'm not so stupid as you think. I know that I must compare their bands, but I don't know what are the specs for those phones. This is the reason why I wrote what gsmarena says about this phone. I think you didn't really read my previous post. I didn't find anywhere what are the bands for those models. I cannot explain better than in previous post.
OK, this is taken from HTCs website:
3G - UMTS/ HSPA:
Europe/ Middle East/ Africa: 900/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps <--- This is the EU handset, 801n (m7_ul)
Asia: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps <--- This is the Asian handset, 801s (m7_ul) (probably)
Canada/ Latin America: 850/1900/2100 MHz up to HSPA+ 42 Mbps <--- This is the North American GSM handset, 801n (m7_wlj or m7_wlv)
T-Mobile (US): 850/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps <--- This is the T- Mobile handset, 801n (m7_wlj or m7_wlv)
AT&T: 850/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps <--- This is the AT&T handset, 801n (m7_wlj or m7_wlv))
Sprint: 1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 14.4 Mbps <--- This is the Sprint handset, 801c (m7_wls)
So, you check what 3G band you network uses and see which phones support it

Here is a datasheet on the Sprint HTC One. The operating bands are not rom dependent, it is the built in radio hardware. Check the datasheet if the bands you need are supported then it will work with any rom.

[Q] LTE Compatibility with Carrier

Hi All,
Just knew today that my unlocked HTC One M7 is not compatible with LTE signal with my local carrier (Smart PH) as stated here.
Further checking, the carrier is operating in LTE in these bands:
Band 1 – 2100 MHz
Band 3 – 1800 MHz
Band 5 – 850 MHz
Is there anyway for my phone to be able to connect in LTE? Will rooting my device fix the issue?
Thanks!

Ok so which Note 5 version to work in UK ?

Let's help to everyone. Can someone confirm or help find which version of n920* will be fully compatible with Uk 4G networks. As we know should be 3, 7 and 20 band which are 800, 1800, and 2600 mhz. I know networks are different and use some frequencies. For example I'm with EE which use all of them for 4G. I tried to find myself and only n920T looks good . Any ideas
My understanding it will be A version N920A
This is useful in also considering buying this phone also where is the best place to buy from without being charged customs etc.
Thanks
I like to buy the note 5 and was wondering if anyone knows whats the best model to buy for it to work on THREE UK and to get 4G
i have a brand new unlocked black 64gb N920A for sale in uk gets 4g on all networks

I'd also like to know which model is best suited to use in the UK.
The three network in particular.
n920c missing band 7 and 20 so will not work proper on 4G in UK.
As for now it looks only N920A is good for uk 4G networks as it have all 3 bands 800, 1800 and 2600 mhz . Cheapest unlocked from ebay shipping from US is bout £570

Hi
Found a note 5 on Ebay N920i
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

Factory Unlocked.
I'm contract free so can go sim only on any network.......
Is there anything else I need to consider before buying? From what I understand it's the bands that will determine if it will work or not
Let me know our thoughts
Cheers
which country are you ?

I've just imported a N920i to the UK, based on the research I did before hand only go for this model if you want to used 4G on EE, the other networks work on other bands.
The N920a will work on more of the UK networks (although i'm not sure whether it will be branded up as AT&T).
The N920i imported came with a UK charger as I believe it was from Hong Kong which I believe have the same power sockets as us in the UK.
Mine set me back £464 and then an additional £30 for import VAT.
Mrlynch
Thanks for the reply,
I take it that the phone works well, are you getting good 4g speeds?
And just confirm is it just the 4g bands you took into account before buying it. Is there anything else that will determine is the phone will work in the uk?
Can you tell me where you got your phone from. If you can't post a link to the site here would you mind sending me a PM
Cheers
Paul
I too have a n920i and it works fine on three the only netwroks it wont work is o2 and voda
Being honest I haven't tested the 4g yet as I'm on an old 3g unlimited data plan for £10 a month so it hasn't been worth upgrading to 4g. Plus I work from home so I'm on 100mb wifi all day. So far 3g has been spot on and so has 2g.
I got mine from ebay, I'll pm you a link shortly.
Do we know why the n920i won't work on the other networks. .......it has the LTE bands that voda and O2 use so on paper it should work, I think? ????

My N920C has band 20 and 3, and i guess it will have band 7 as well (though i can't test it). So this model should not really have problems working in Europe.

Thanks for your feedback regarding B20 band; I'm in Italy and here same problem with LTE bands (I'm on Vodafone that works on B3/B7/B20) now looking around I've found a N920C dual sim model (available on arab markets) called N920CD I hope someone can help us to confirm if this model works on B20 LTE too....
Which dual sim model will work in the UK with Three?
Just ordered a Samsung SM-N920S Galaxy Note 5. I know someone who ordered a phone from the same region and uses it in the UK...
Giffgaff and EE sims on standby for testing
Will let you know if all is working......

Nokia 8 have Different Variants?

Hi all, I purchased nokia 6 (ta-1000) 2 months ago and was satisfied. Problem was i work in dessert area and my phone unable to use 4G band. After many research i found that this nokia 6 doesn't support other 4G bands except china country coz its chinese variant. so my question is does Nokia 8 have many variants too? If yes then can you all guide me? i as am planning to buy nokia 8 and dont want to end up having same 4G band problem like nokia 6.
I have the TA-1004 version. It works in Southeastern Europe with the 1800MHz LTE frequency my phone provider has, also tried it and it works on the 2600 4G frequency from another local provider.
These 2 are confirmed, but there's also the specifications info that the local seller has on the website, which includes all these band frequencies for 4g: 700 / 800 / 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2300 / 2600
So I'm guessing TA-1004 should work with all of the above.

how do you check LTE frequency? is there any software to check? as i want to know in dessert (which i am working) which frequency of LTE working here.

Go to your phone carrier's website and check what band frequencies it has for LTE/4G. Or a google search. That's what I did.
