Hi,
I own a G3 from Sprint which is Unlocked.
It do works on a GSM network.
Is it supposed to work on Israel's LTE too?
Thanks!

Id depends if the frequencies are supported for example here in india 4g not working because the frequencies are not supported.
I can see that LTE frequencies in Israel are 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz .
It totally different than than u.s frequencies(1, 2, 3...10, 11...)
Anyone heard anything redarding these deferences?
Thanks.

However, with our experience in the industry we have seen that almost every device launched in recent years within Europe has been ‘optimised’, with the American 850/1900 range locked down, leaving only 900/2100 for the rest of the world. As we are based in the UK it is for this reason we have taken the tentative step of advertising only these frequencies.

yeah, UK clove store said EU galaxy S2 doesn't support US 850/1900
network. (They said that may be US 850/1900 UMTS frequencies are locked.)
But, I find google news.
http://www.mydaily-gadget.com/news/5718-att-getting-samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-fcc-says-i-do
Speaking about release dates we do not have a specific one for the GT-i9100 in the USA but we can confirm the FFC has authorized the use of this particular smart phone on the 850MHz and 1900MHz GSM frequencies which means the first carrier to offer the Samsung Galaxy S II might be AT&T. These two frequencies account for the AT&T 3G network but they also match some Canada operator’s frequencies so there is a big chance the Galaxy S II will land there too in the near future.

That first link (that I provided earlier tonight I think) - read it to the end please, Clove has all the info on that page, just finish reading it. sorry for the tone , but I think you did not pay enough attention - there are comments to that blog post that say clove confirmed with the manufacturer and local distributor that all 4 bands are present.
I'm confused here
I have SGSII ordered from Clove. I plan to use it with ATT sim card. Have I made a mistake? Will I be able to use it? Do I need to cancel?
I hope it works well with AT&T since I intend to get this phone.
My current (imported) GT-i9000 did not properly support AT&T and has very poor call quality and call drop issues.

Although Clove originally said they doubted it would support 850/1900 3G+, they did later confirm their stock would be quad-band 3G. So no need to worry about support for NAM 3G.
Once someone get's the GS2 in USA on ATT, can you confirm that it indeed works on Edge AND 3G?

That's because the i9000 is only tri-band UMTS and only supports AT&T's 1900 frequency. When it gets to an area where the 1900 H/3G signal is weak, it can't switch over to the 850 UMTS simply because its hardware doesn't support it. So, then the phone call drops. You'll notice if you switch the i9000 to 2G/Edge, you'll never get a dropped call... because it's quad band GSM.
Also, ever notice you never get dropped calls when stationary and on H/3G? That's because with a solid 1900 UMTS signal, the i9000 will never search for the unsupported 850 band.
(And yes, I have confirmed all of this as I also own an i9000.)
i9100 supports quad-band UMTS with 850/1900 H/3G, so you will not have the frequent dropped calls anymore.
Here are the frequencies for AT&T: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T_Mobility#Radio_Frequency_Summary
Frequencies used on the AT&T Network
850 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE 2G
1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE 2G
850 MHz UMTS/HSPA 3G
1900 MHz UMTS/HSPA 3G
700 MHz LTE 4G
So, the i9100 International will do almost all. Except LTE.

Thanks for your information.
Does anyone have a Flyer in the US? Have you tried it on T-mobile's network? Engadget says its compatible but i'm curious to know if its compatible with their 3G or only compatible with their 2G network.
The specs say 3G Bands to be 900/2100 if I'm not mistaken and I thought that tmobile required both 1700 and 2100 to work on their network. Anyway I would like to find out for sure.

So if I'm gathering you are saying the Flyer has 900/1700/2100 and US T-mobile is 1700/2100. Is AWS=1700MHz band? If so that would be spectacular!!!

Just because its on GSM doesn't mean that it is compatible with their 3G network. It might be stuck on 2G.
It doesn't matter. It's too expensive to be worth buying an imported Flyer. I'm pretty sure Tmobile will be carrying this tablet in the States. Buy it on contract and save about $400.
yes but i think is wifi only.
In one of the other threads in this Flyer forum, a 3G Flyer user says no phone feature
Can this be true???

Which Galaxy SII do you have? The T-Mobile version you get directly from T-Mobile? (SGH-T989) Or the International version you bought unlocked? (GT-I9100) It makes a difference. The International version (GT-I9100) doesn't have the hardware to pick up T-Mobile's 3/4G bands, so you would NEVER get H+, H, or 3G with that phone.
If you have the T-Mobile version (SGH-T989), you're in the wrong place. You need to be in this forum.
I have the international version but i thought that t-mobile freqs are 1700 which is AWS and 2100 IMT?
or is the 2100 band AWS as well?
edit:
GSM arena states that the t-mobile vers is 850/1700/2100 and the eu vers is 850/900/1900/2100
I know that 1700 isnt supported but isnt 2100 workable?

That's like trying to walk with one leg, not gonna happen, you need support for both bands kinda like what the gsm galaxy nexus has.

Agree with what peachpuff said. And if I remember correctly, T- Mobile uses one of those bands for upload and one for download. So you would definitely need both.

Let's say you're in the U.S. and you've got the international i9100 SGS2.
And let's say you can't get an AT&T signal in the place where you most need it.
You might well say screw AT&T's 4G speeds (which don't seem all that fast anyway), just give a freaking signal.
You might then go with a pre-paid, or a pay-as-you-go, or whatever, T-mobile 2G/EDGE data plan, because it's the only thing you can do.
The situation sucks, but you have, AFAIK, no other choices.

I'd say check and see what frequency they operate at then compare it with the max. As long as your sim card slot is unlocked it should I would think.

I have a Sprint One Max that I sim unlocked and use a straight talk at&t sim , mms works with go sms , or evolve , just have to manually set APN settings I get a better signal than I did with my htc sensation with a straight talk t-mobile sim , no LTE but HSPA , I know the Max is compatible with at&t or t-mobile straight talk sims and pretty much covers all bands for just about everyone but I would still double check with the provider you want to use just to make sure

So LTE isn't an option? Are you using a 4.2.2 ROM, as I am...is it necessary for me to revert back to 4.3? Sorry for the 21 q's....
I stand corrected,3g,4g obviously but I dont think it has att or tmobile lte frequencies...if you want those straight talk offers a verizon sim now i think. Good luck

no,not yet at least, i think it has to do with straight talk and not the phone cause I'm sure it covers the bands and I have been on 4.3 and currently on 4.4 ( was on viper rom now on nusense) and have tried everything to get lte going but my hspa speeds are still pretty good though so no complaints here , but again I have a sprint Max with a straight talk at&t sim so not sure if it would be the same for yours or not but I would think so

hello..
I have the HTC DROID DNA by Verizon. Bought it from US but i live in GREECE now.
Is there a way to use 4G on my carrier here? (VODAFONE/COSMOTE/WIND. i have SIM from all the carriers). i only get HSDPA from GLOBAL network type. If i select LTE i dont get signal.
Im s-off and rooted. Rom:CM 12.1, lollipop 5.1.1
I dont mind if i should flash another ROM. i just want to use the 4G/LTE that DNA supports.
Unlocking more bands?
Hello guys.. as i mentioned above my problem is that i cant get 4G on my Droid DNA on a non-Verizon SIM card.
i found that the day supports the LTE band 13(700) - Verizon only for 4G. Is there a way to unlock mroe bands on this phone; (like FDD-->900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2600 MHz?
thanks in advance!

Development here is slowed now. But generally I think the band's have to do with hardware so unless your 4g band is specified in the phone specs then no way to add a band.
thanks!
