Essentially I am on AT&T in Chicago, I would love to buy an International edition this go-a-round. Get the updates faster and not deal with AT&T bloat. However I am curious if any country other than the US will carry a LTE variant of the Note III that will support AT&T LTE out of the box (with the correct APN settings) or am I stuck buying the AT&T version if I want access to their LTE network?
Any insight would be awesome. Thanks...
Im 99% sure the exynos processor would only receive 3g on ATT whereas the qualcom gets the full 4g LTE.

You are correct, the Exynos would get me HSPA only... I am hoping that countries other than the US will carry the Snapdragon 800 and that it would be AT&T compatible for LTE.
I edited the OP to clarify.
If its any help, my International Note 1 gets anywhere from 3Mbit to 13Mbit on HSPA+. I've tested with service from both AT&T (straight talk) and t-mobile now that t-mo has re-farmed the 1900mhz spectrum to hspa in my city.
Not sure how fast LTE is but probably at least twice as fast depending on congestion. The real question now is battery life between LTE version and exynos non LTE version.
And in my opinion, its very much worth having the international version. Big drawback though: NO samsung warranty in the USA. To some that might be an issue.
This has been discussed a lot. The international SD 800 variant, from what I understand, should be able to work on AT&T LTE. I guess we won' t know 100% for sure until someone in NA who uses AT&T orders the international SD800 and can confirm that it does work on AT&T LTE. As as this (and ability to root) is confirmed, I'll be ordering my N3.

Phone for ATT
I too am looking for purchasing a phone either T Mobile or International and using it on the AT&T network. It will be my first foray into GSM but so far I have found the following about the 3 different US GSM versions of the Note 3.
http://negrielectronics.com/
ATT
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
T Mobile
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 / 1700 / 2100
N9005
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600
What I don't know about GSM smartphones is if its possible to flash different modems and enable different bands/frequencies. They have the same SOC but such a variance in frequencies... to me it sounds like a modem mod, but I'm by no means an expert
Anyone whom knows more want to expand on my comments? It would be appreciated!

I have a pretty good feeling that you cant flash different modems, the modem needs to match the device or else it will brick. But then again I could be wrong.
I was quite delighted to find that there was LTE support for the Tmobile version

we have been doing that for some times already since Galaxy S2 and Notes and Blazer phones were released.
people have been flashing back and forth HSPA vs LTE radio back and forth without a problem.
The only gotcha is Battery drain rate is horrendous on non-native phones using the other radio
some ROMs managed to optimize this to one degree or another, but it's definitely not the same as using a phone that was originally made for that radio.
But the point is, it's do-able and it works.

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.
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

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

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

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......
Hey, my girlfriend bought a g800F off of amazon, and the 4g doesn't work, we've tried working with her network and I think it's her phone. She can take calls, use wifi, etc. but only ever gets 3G service. Is there anything I can do to remedy it before she has to send it back?
Perhaps the device doesn't support the band your carrier is using for LTE?
The S5 mini should support the following bands(from a quick internet search, so might be more)
Code:
800 (band 20), 850 (band 5), 900 (band 8), 1800 (band 3), 2100 (band 1), 2600 (band 7) MHz/Duplex FDD
Find your carrier in the link below to determine the bands they use:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
If the carrier is supported then you might want to try a ROM reflash from SamMobile, and if that doesn't work then the device may be genuinely broken and should be sent in. Carriers can also selectively enable LTE and some charge a fee(so it's not on by default), but I assume you already did that as you said you've contacted the network already.
Shoot, it looks like her carrier uses band 4. Where do I find a list of bands for the phone?

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.
