Hello everyone, it's possible to enable 850mhz HSDPA band on the exhibit 4g? i've bought it unlocked and using it on Telcel mexico, but telcel only works on 850/1900 mhz HSDPA HSDPA+ while the exhibit only works on 1700/2100, so it's working only on the slow edge network :-/ . It's there a way to enable the 850 or 1900 band on the exhibit? :O i've read its possible in other samsung phones..
Thanks.
So I read around that the hack for the Samsung Galaxy Note I717 to get the LTE 1700mhz frequency working on T-Mobile (U.S.) and Wind/Mobi (Canada) is available.
My question is, would this or any hacks work on any LTE1700mhz band phone to work on AWS carriers running on HSPA mode?
Like the HTC One X AT&T version for example..
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100
which is the same specs as the Note in terms of bands it uses...
Anyone knows??

Hello everyone,
I am thinking to purchase at&t or T-mobile samsung galaxy S3, samsung galaxy s3 mini, iphone 4, 4s or 5 immediately before I go back to my homeland. I know these samsung galaxy S3 and iphone support HSDPA network. My homeland has only WCDMA 2100MHz network. My question is will these galaxy S3 or iphone works on WCDMA 2100 Mhz network. Thanks in advance.
HSDPA is the data connection protocol for 3G networks. WCDMA is what 3G is called, and 2100 MHz is the frequency. You need to look at a full specification list for the carrier variant of the phone you want, and check that it supports 2100 MHz frequency band. You'll see this info and supported 2G and 3G bands right at the top of the specification list in GSMarena. If the phone supports 2100 MHz, then it will work in your country. HSDPA/HSUPA is to WCDMA as GPRS/EDGE is to 2G GSM networks. They are just data protocols. You need to look at the bandwidth specifications.

im thinking of buying a chinese phone.
when i look at the specs most of them say
Support 3G Network: Band: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 & WCDMA 900/ 2100MHz
will i get full HSDPA speeds I currently get on my UK Samsung Galaxy Note?
Im on the Three network just now but do the above frequencies cover most major providers in the UK and abroad for 3G?
I have a new unlocked S9+ China (SM-G9650/DS, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845), and I'm trying to figure out if it is fully supported by T-Mobile in the US. I've done some Googling on this, but I'm not sure I understand the results. The supported band specs for the phone, and the T-Mobile frequencies used, are below. Can someone confirm or comment whether the phone is fully supported, or if not what's missing? Thx, Gus

It will work on T-Mobile frequencies but you won't get Wifi Calling or voLTE. The stock CSC is TGY - Hong Kong, T-Mobile is TMB. I haven't found any way to change the CSC even with custom ROM, but assuming one became available you would trip Knox and lose Samsung Pay, Samsung Health, Secure Folder, OTA Updates and Factory Warranty. Some members have posted in regards to changing the CSC Code in the link below but I'm not certain it's working out. Good luck!

baring any unforeseen hidden stuff, you should be good to go for Tmobile...Minus the new Band 71 on the 600mhz spectrum. Honestly, unless you live in the area that will get this deployment, this shouldn't be of concern. As long as you can use Band 2/4/12, you will be ok with Tmobile.
I almost went with this route as well since I wanted to get a Snapdragon version with larger storage size. But I chickened out because I've been reading people having bad signals/not having full LTE speeds with their imported S9+ on TMOUS.
Good luck and let us know!
I used CT Excel Americas (T-mobile mvno) and it worked on CHC firmware. But I forgot to test volte etc.

Please post steps for this. I would like to get VoLTE and Wifi calling
