Will a N950F work on sprint? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

My friend just bought a N950f on ebay and is unable to activate it on sprint. Looking at the specs I do not see any kind of CDMA listed. I dont think it will work on sprint but I just wanted an expert opinion.

If you don't see any CDMA listed, then he bought the international version, which is noted with the F. International versions don't work with CDMA(Verizon/Sprint).

Note 4 North American variants

Hi all,
A general question about the Note 4 in North America -- Are all the phones distributed in North America the exact same model, save for the software on board?
Thanks!
Hardware-wise at&t and t-mo are possibly same model with different firmware. Verizon and Sprint possibly too (CDMA support). Metro PCS ? Most likely t-mo variant since they are using same network now. I'm only guessing.

Yea, I'm wondering if the supported bands are the same across all the North American phones. I'm actually in Canada and wondering if I can grab the phone off one of the other carriers to use on my own (after unlock) and have the same supported bands.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Are you looking for the x64 based note 4?

Naw, just wondering if the hardware was the same so I could buy the phone off a different carrier to use on mine (Mine doesn't have the phone).

It just depends on who your carrier is? The radios are the only thing different really.
Yea, I believe I read that Canada gets the North American version 910W8? So they're all identical.

I was just given this as a gift. I have AT&T, but it is sim locked to China Telecom. It says 4G is locked by China Telecom. Phone calls, text, and EDGE (2G) work for me with my AT&T sim. If I were to sim unlock it, will LTE then work for me? It is the CRR-UL00 version.
Also curious about rooting and installing google play services. Any advice?

$999.99
At that price I might as well just pick up a flagship phone here and save some money. Haha

N920I vs N920G

I understand that the N920I is the International version, but what is the difference between it and the N920G? I'm looking to pick up one of these two unlocked to run on AT&T.

Get the N920i, many users in the states have it and its running great on AT&T.
Not sure the other model will have the same bands on AT&T.
Any thoughts on the N920C model? Has all the same bands and got marshmellow before the N920I model. I wanna pick one up for AT&T.

Have you heard anything about the N920C model? Does it work well on AT&T as well? Asking because I'm deciding between the two variants..

I think you should be fine - the bands match up with AT&T so I don't see an issue.
I personally tested the N920i model - so I can speak with confidence regarding that variant.
Thanks and the N920i seems to be the more popular variant and I read somewhere that the 'i' model doesn't come with bloat but the 'c' model does.. Since so many people swear by the 'i' model then it's prob wise to go with that one..

Yea, when I used the N920i on AT&T, I had no issues whatsoever.
I was able to install international ROMs and T-Mobile ROMs on there with ease.
I think you'll be perfectly happy with that choice. Enjoy!
Thanks. Def appreciate it..

Galaxy Note 9 Developer Ecition

Is there any news on Samsung doing a Developer Edition of their Note 9 Verizon models like they did for the Note 4 and the Note Edge? I really want to get my hands on that 512gb phone, but cant see myself committing to the locked bootloaders.
no, there isn't.

? just buy a exynos F or N or SD 9600
problem solved.
After a bit of googling and searching amazon I was only able to find AT&T compatible international versions, I remember someone saying the other CDMA phones worked on a different band then the US Verizon bands. When I google Exynos CDMA I get told Exynos isn't compatible with CDMA because the radios for it aren't installed on those phones.
Not gonna happen
There is no talk of a Developer Edition and is unlikely as none of the recent Notes have had one. The Exynos models don't have the proper LTE bands for Verizon. The N9600 is a Snapdragon, but I'm not sure if it runs the correct bands for Verizon either.

The n9600 works fine, with all lte bands and cdma on vzw. I'm using one now. No volte or ca YET. Once I get root, I should at least be able to get volte.

Where did you get your SM-N9600? The ones listed on Amazon claim to be the 9600 international version but they all say GSM only no CDMA.
EDIT: I found this: https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-sm-n960-model-number-differences/
It lists the different model numbers. it seems the 9600/9608 have all the bands listed under the 960U*** versions that are important to Verizon.

Amazon. They always list the international version has no CDMA. No clue why they do, but they are wrong.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up, I will make my way right on over there and get me one on Thursday when I get paid. One question, when you select language does it give the option for US English or only Brittish English? Not really a problem, just curious as I have never bought an international version.

It was defaulted to UK English, but reg English is available. Make sure to ask the seller if it has Latin fw. You NEED that for vzw.

I only see one on amazon, I checked ebay also and they look pretty much the same situation over there. none of them mention if it has the latin firmware with 1 exception. there is one being resold on ebay and the guy mentioned it was the hong kong version. Is yours the dual sim one? and if it is the right model with the snapdragon processor, couldn't I just flash the Latin Firmware via Odin?

Were to buy SM-N960F/DS in USA (T-mobile)?

You can find the device on Amazon and on foreign websites. There is no U.S. warranty. You can perhaps pay for out of pocket repairs, but my understanding is that it is difficult to find state-side repair shops that will touch it.

I am considering picking up a SM-N960F/DS Samsung Galaxy Note 9, installing LineageOS 17.1 with MicroG and use with T-Mobile in the US. I have read that certain T-Mobile Services don't work out of the box, however, I have also read of a TMO Detonator configuration that can be installed which restores those missing features. Did you use TMO Detonator? If so, did TMO Detonator fix all the T-Mobile compatibility issues? If not, which features are still missing? Does Carrier Aggregation work? If not, what LTE Data speeds are possible? Are you happy with the SM-N960F/DS Note 9 experience on T-Mobile? Is there any site that still hosts the TMO Detonator File/Package and Instructions? Any other thoughts or advice? Thanks again for your time.
No, I never installed anything extra. CA did not work, but speeds were still decent.
