Hi guys,
i am interested in buying the following phone and i noticed that the 4G wont work here in Australia as Australia uses different frequency for 4G.
Now what i wanted to know is this:
Is it possible to change the 4G frequency from LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100 to LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600?
Paul
do you know of any other samsung devices with that LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600 radio that uses the Qualcomn SOC?
if the answer is yes, then chances are likely to work
Yes, i found this device, same speed and model CPU
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_hd_lte-4198.php
Does this mean if i download the radio off the Galaxy S 2 onto this Note i717 that i should be able to get 4G speeds here in Australia (LTE 800, 1800, 2600)
no, you will need to download the radio off Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE SHV-E120S, and then it might work
yea that is what i meant, thank you so much for this mate, i will see what i can do.
i noticed you have a Samsung Note i717, would you like to try this out for me please
Hi Man are you sucess to change lte 2600mhz i also want do it please let me know thanks

i was told that it cant be done as it is a hardware mod that needs to be done and not firmware.
i was going to buy this phone but since the galaxy s iii is coming out, i thought i preorder that as the price for the s iii and i717 were roughly the same.
i orginially wanted the note due to its large screen but since the s iii has a 4.8" screen i thought i buy that since the diff in size is only .5cm
Thanks,but Mr allgamer said can change?

Hi guys.
I didn't know where to post and I have few questions on my Galaxy SII I bought from Korea and brought to USA.
I have KT's 250S galaxy SII and I'm trying to use it for At&t. I tried to put my At&t sim card in and looks like it is getting some connection. I was able to make a call.
However, looks like it's not getting any 3G connections. I heard there is some modification on the network I need to change to get 3G. Could you please let me know what should I do?
Thank you,
Andy

Go to the miui thread in development section and use the apn from there. That should theoretically fix your issue...

There is nothing you can do.

From the third post down:
Code:
<< Korea Galaxy S2 Network support >>
Double band UMTS 900/2100
Triple band GSM 900/1800/1900
<< EU Galaxy S2 band Network support>>
Quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Quad band UMTS 850/900/1900/2100
AT&T and International (I9100) GSIIs support the same bands, which is why I9100s work perfectly in the US. Your device is completely missing support for the 850 MHz band (first device I've seen in years that wasn't quadband GSM other than dumbphones) and also missing support for 3G in the 1800 MHz band.
So you will not have 3G coverage anywhere, and you will completely lose coverage where AT&T uses the 850 MHz band.
hello guys how are you hope you be fine .
i am new here i wanna ask about what version of GS II to Buy on the internet i have found 5 versions :T-mobile,[email protected],Skyrocket,LTE HD,International .
at first i noticed there was a difference with processor and protect screen i noticed the T-mobile is the best but i am in Jordan so if i buy it can i use our Sim because we T-mobile not in Jordan and can i buy it from amazon i know i may be silly about question but i don't know .

Get the international version i9100 or i9100P (has NFC)
Sorry do you have 4G network in Jordan?
@Nyssa1104 thank you man for reply international version has 1.2GHZ but t-mobile has 1.5GHZ why international are better i dont know if we have 4g but i certain that we have 3g
Definitely get the international version if you're planning on using custom firmware.
There seems to be a lot more development that has happened/is continuing to happen for this variant as opposed to the others. But as Nyssa mentioned, if you can get one (international) with NFC (so you can use it as a virtual wallet/tap to pay, etc) why not
@MistahBungle thanks man i didnt understand you so i will rewrite the question in another type if i bought a T-mobile can i unlock it to apply our Sim (orange,zain,ect) and what is the different between international and T-mobile
I honestly don't know if the T-Mobile version will work in your country or not (I have international version). The T-Mobile has slightly bigger screen, different processor, 4 touch buttons, support for 42mbps data speeds, and supports 1700mhz UTMS...This is all as far as I know. You might want to do a bit more research about the features yourself.
You might want to ask your carrier if this phone will work on their network or not before buying it.
thanks guy for help but i have a little question to people who used the 1.5 and 1.2 processor is there a big different between them
Are you sure you don't want a Galaxy Note? I wouldn't buy SGS2 now, when GN is out.
But if you get one, get the international.
AFAIK it's the same processor, only OCed a bit, what you can do with a custom kernel aswell.
T mobile sgs2 uses a qualcomm snapdragon which is based on the cortex A8 vs the A9 in the exynos and as such is slower clock for clock, so the 1.2ghz exynos is faster and has a better CPU.
I would go for the i9100, it supports GSM (2g) 850/900/1800/1900 and 3G 850/900/1900/2100 so make sure it will work on your network.

PS, I was bored so I checked the networks in Jordan, and as far as I can tell, they use 900 and 1800 so at least it will work on edge/2g and should work on 3g (old thread where someone said they are using a at&t iPhone 3g there on 3g fine, and the i9100 covers the same 3g bands) but I can't find any hard info so I can't be 100% sure.

I recommend buying the International i9100 BUT make sure it isn't the i9100G. It's far worse than the original i9100. Aside from that the AT&T SGS2 looks good too

No, there isn't. Nothing you're gonna feel in day-to-day usage.
I just dont know which one. Its for my girl. These will be tmobile phones in this decision which will be on simple mobile.
Right now i have the lg g2x which is unlocked/rooted/running hellfire 2.2 Rom GB 2.3.3 and i love it, battery life sucks though.
What do you guys think about htc 1s vs galaxy s2? Or should we get galaxy s3?

Since you're asking for a comparison to the HTC One S, seems you're asking about phones for T-mobile USA?
This particular model of Galaxy S2 is not the model for T-mobile USA, and will only get Edge mobile data speeds on that network.
I'm guessing you want to know about the SGH-T989 .

The galaxy s2 that i am referring to is in fact a tmobile phone. Im not sure why you are saying i will only get edge? Please explain, or can someone else confirm this?

As I said, the T-mobile USA Galaxy S2 is a different model. I linked the forum for that model above.
See wikipedia.
The i9100 (which this is the forum for: look at the top of the page) doesn't have the required antenna hardware to receive 1700 mhz UTMS, which is a required band for AWS. (the other frequency bring 2100mhz) T-mobile USA uses AWS for high speed mobile data.
So, the i9100 will only get Edge on T-mobile USA's network.
But if you don't believe me, just type "i9100 t-mobile edge" into google.

Ok i get what you are saying now. You scared me for a second there. I thought you meant "this model" as in the one i was referring to. Ok well while we are on the subject, isnt there something that can be done to the phones to switch the antennas like installing a new radio or something, or is it an actual physical piece of hardware that runs off different mhz to get 2g/3g/or 4g?

It's hardware. There is nothing you or anyone can do to the i9100 to get high speed on the T-mobile USA network with that phone.
If you want a Galaxy S2 model that gets high speed on T-mobile USA's network, you want the SGH-T989. I linked the forum for it above.
And back to your original question......
Get one S
Or S3..
do make sure one S is the Qualcomm S4 not the S3 with 1.7 GHz model.
HTC making one S with older processor after S4 shortage.
I know that t-mobile will reveal their version of galaxy s3 on June 21 with S4 chip instead of quad core chip. Right now, I'm using t-mobile galaxy s2, and i can tell you that it sucks compare to the international version.
Do you guys know if the international version of Galaxy s3 will work on t-mobile hspa+ ?
International version of SGS3 will not work with T-mobile HSPA just yet.
T-mobile is changing their HSPA feq from 1700 to 1900 later this year but until then no.
So do you think with the upcoming upgrade it would be a good choice to purchase the international version vs. the Tmobile version?

i mean do say the internatinoal version runs on t mobile ..but with 2g internet or hspa one? pls reply
My two cents are that atleast in htc devices like the one x the s4 us version is way better then the quadcore int. I have the at&t version and my brother have the int. Version and i could tell the s4 version is a lot faster and comsumes less batery that the international one my quadrant scores are from 4800 to 5000 and the internacional scores are from 4500 to 4800 i know that quadrants arent everything but in user intrrface and heavy games you can notice the diference...i cant tell that the s3will be the same story untill its realese but thats my experience

Just a FYI, it won't be the same. The international version has a much more powerful GPU. Pretty sure the processor will be a beast as well.
I just want to double-check with the experts here if the T-Mobile version of the Galaxy Note will work on the AT&T network with 3G speeds. These are the specs from the Samsung website (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-T879ZBBTMB-specs):
Network:
Frequencies and Data Type GSM Bands:850 MHz,900 MHz,1800 MHz,1900 MHz 3G/UMTS Bands: Band I (UMTS 2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100/AWS), Band V (850)
Data Speed: HSPA+ (Category24, 42Mbps)
Thanks,
Dan
Looks right. But its likely you will need to change the radio.
850 and 1900 hspa are the bands at&t uses.
My question its a Lil different... Once the Tmo note comes out, could we flash the stock Tmo note ROM to an unlocked att note and potentially have wifi calling on the att galaxy note..
I love my note but really thinking about changing phones cuz I need the built in wifi calling Tmo offers on their phones

850 and 1900 are listed in the specs that the OP posted...my guess is it will work fine stock after unlocking, although obviously no LTE support.

If it's just another variant of the i717 like the Canadian ones (which it looks like it is), I think there's a pretty good chance you'll be able to get that working.
