Hi everybody
Hope somebody will be able to help me as i can't find the answer anywhere
Well, i'm going to NYC in few weeks and i would like to profit to buy a new phone. My question is : will a GS4 bought in america work with french network? Particularly HSPA+ and 4G (LTE).
I want to be sure that it'll be fully working here.
Thanks for any help guys
If you buy an unlocked one.. i think it should work.. Just check the bands that are used by French carriers and confirm that those are supported by S4.. i think it will be supported for sure..
Most people tell me it should work
Nice ! Hope it will ^^

could anyone please post some good links to good info on us s2 availability or even if possible the best way to obtain one from over seas and use it in us on tmob. just some links would be great if anybody has a few. thanks for your time, veritasequita
It doesn't work on T-Mobile. Voice would be fine, but data would be GRPS.
Will it work on any US carrier? AT&T?

I bought mine from expansys USA www.expansys-usa.com. the phone was $750, and as others told me when I was trying to decide, its covered by warranty and unlocked and unbranded. I would say they're the best so far. A lot of people have done Handtec and Clove as well.

Can someone explain why this phone doesn't work on T-Mobile? Does it not use HSPA+? Also, if it only works on AT&T in the US, why not just wait a month for AT&T to subsidize it with a contract?...
T-Mobile USA's 3G uses the 1700/2100 MHz band. The currently available versions of the SGS2 don't support that band.
My sister is in Shanghai on China Mobile, and she found a deal on a gs2 out there.
However in Canada she uses TELUS, which uses hspa on frequency bands 850/1900 mhz. TELUS does NOT use GSM. She wants to be able to use it in Canada too.
I was doing some Googling and I found that the China Mobile gs2 uses a different technology for their 3G but I'm not 100% sure.
Does anyone know more about this? Please let me know, thank you.

they advice chinese customer to buy the hongkong version if in the future china get the 4G. they say the european version wont work for it.
that's all I can tell you, I'm dumb with all the technical stuff

No, the GT-I9300 model does not and will not support 4G. This is the reason why the US Variants use a different SoC, as it has an inbuilt support for 4G, while the Exynos SoC does not.
4g is an absolute battery killer from what I can gather anyway, so not really bothered, do most of my downloading at home or over openzone
I reckon a Korean version would still give you the superior Exynos SOC, 2GB RAM and LTE/4G. I'm looking for somewhere to buy them. AFAIK Korean Telecomms use the same radio spectrum as we do.
The LTE version will soon be available in Germany,
Contact Orange in UK!!!!!!

Yes that would work, although I would contact orange and see if they would comment on this, although try to make sure it would go through to someone in the UK not someone in India who is reading from a script!
If you do buy it from Korea be careful with ROM's and don't forget about import tax! :laugh:
Hello guys. I am completely confused about the HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE 3G/4G bands. GSMArena shows it supports 850/1900 HSDPA bands, however after doing some research I found people calling it has 900/2100.
Long story short, I want to use this guy on Movistar Argentina network (HSDPA/UMTS 850/1900). Can anyone of you confirm or deny the compatibility? I know GSM works, but I need to know about 3G. Thank you very much in advance.

I think they are different bands. Can anyone who has AT&T service on their area test it? It has the same bands as my carrier. Thanks
Bump?

Sorry for replying to this since it is pretty old. But I have the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (R800x) and I was very much confused by how it works. I mean seriously, the way you boot into the recovery was wacked out, and the way the recovery is installed onto the phone was wacked out as well. It was put into the boot image (or the kernel). With HTC, you aren't kernel dependant. (well you are but your kernel and recovery isn't merged.) And the way you update and stuff. DANG. It is just so confusing. I thought I bricked my Xperia Play last November, but turns out I just wasn't doing anything right and it was a simple fix.
The way you boot into fastboot was just weird. The screen didn't do anything, the LED just turned blue. That's weird. And the phone barely works with Jelly Bean, or so I noticed when I was messing around in that section of XDA. I am not too pleased with the setup of the Sony Ericsson or Sony Xperia devices. I didn't mean to sound rude by the way, I hate it when people on here are like that and it makes me furious when they are jerks, so if I offended you with this post, by all means, call me out on it.
