F is international - some ATT users said they were having problems with LTE. Not sure if it's true, I is Singapore and India variant, same as the F variant some ATT users said they had LTE problem but both variants support the bands required on ATT.
I purchased the 9250 version, it's suppose to support the most bands but i havent confirmed it yet because mines arrive next week. I'll check it out and let you know if i have any problems with LTE

Hello guyz
I suggested my bro to buy a titan 2 so he bought maniacstore DOT COM (forums not allowing to post links)
so he agreed as the phone was unlocked & the specs were great at this price point
He got the phone today but the problem is whenever he inserts his sim (NOT mini sim) he doesnt gets any network, im damn sure the phone is unlocked bcoz it doesnt asks for unlock code when he enters his TATA DOCOMO sim card...yes, we live in India
I've searched the web but with no luck so finally i saw no other choice than asking experts like u guyz...plz help i dont want to get blamed
PS:- will hard reset work...i read somewhere on web about this
there were 2 instances where he got network & then it again disappeared
Do you have LTE-network in India? What band widths do have? These are the networks the phone is compatible with:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE
850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G - UMTS/HSDPA
UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz
and 4G LTE

A word of the wise...a carrier with one star average from 329 reviews from this web site would have me take notice if I were you; next here in the US and many other places there is eBay...one of the things I've learned along the way is what a company is selling or advertising is not always the truth. You need to find out if this phone is "clean". You need to find out what the network specs are for this carrier and if they are compatible with the Titan II and please do your homework. I never heard of this carrier until now; I did a Google Search and found this - http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/tata-docomo-mobile-operator-reviews-925107377 and this - http://www.tatadocomo.com/customer-care.aspx
You have try with HTC Connection Setup?
##3282# >>setings >> Network type >> 2G only or 3G only.
I have a htc titan 2 in CLARO Colombia and was working form arround a month and now doesn't work , i have tried in the 3 companies, claro, movistar and tigo
any suggestions
thanks!
Perhaps your phones have been IMEI blacklisted? By the way does anyone knows where can I buy an HTC Titan 2? This model never got launched here in Europe. Cheers

Kinda late reply.
I am a user of Galaxy S6 Edge in Korea, and I have the G925K model. This model is a carrier variant in Korea (for KT Olleh), and I am able to make video calls.
The video calls availability more depends on your carrier. I did not know that the G925K model was also release in other countries (and I am kinda suspicious) but I would suggest you to ask your carrier.

Does the USSD Code works with Korean S6 Variant? I bought S5 last time and it did not work... just want to know first before I buy S6 again in Korea., Thanks
I wonder if it's time to update documentation about the K variant. I just had to RMA my G925F to Deutsche Telekom, and they gave me a G925K back. No difference that I've noticed, but clearly they're sending K's everywhere nowadays!
Ok, this might seem obvious to some, but I am somewhat confused right now.
I bought my S6 Edge in Germany, T-Mobile.
Since I am currently staying in the US, I got an AT&T sim card.
With the (apparant) Marshmallow-rollout, which variant do I need?
Do the carrier variants simply bring some specific bloatware with them, or are they essentially different in their functionality?
I think I want to get the German T-Mobile variant (unless there is an unbranded one available, obviously), but could that interfere with the AT&T network in the US, as in lack of functionality in some respect?
Thanks in advance and sorry if this seems like a weird question.
There are internation versions you can buy from samsung's website. They are getting the update now and they work on all networks.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I think you misunderstood me though.
I do own the (Germany bought, T-Mobile) S6.
For my stay in the US, I only got an AT&T Sim-Card which I put into my phone.
It does work flawlessly, so I guess the phone itself is unbranded anyway.
I am just wondering if I should get the update for AT&T-variants while I am here, or rather go with the T-Mobile one.
Also, I have no idea if the carrier-variants differ worldwide, e.g. German T-Mobile offering different FW than US T-Mobile.
G'mornin,
Your phones always updated from the repository the current firmware is.
My S6 edge is with Vodafone firmware is unlocked and I use in T-Mobile network.
The Updates I got, were all from Vodafone.
---> You will get the T-Mobile update, if your phone uses the T-Mobile firmware. If you use DBT firmware, your phone will get the DBT update.
I'm in a similar situation. My phone is from Three UK, I'm currently in the US and I'm using an AT&T sim in my phone. I received an update (from Three), downloaded & installed without any issues when I received a security update in January. No matter what sim you are using, the phone will update from it's origin (unless you flashed, in which case it should update from that origin). Hope this helps.
Hi,
Getting ready to pull the trigger on this phone from Clove UK.
Just one question, will I get full LTE speeds on TMobile service???
Does it support all the US bands? Can't find that info anywhere.
Any gurus here have the answer?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Ken
I have the Korean Variant G965N on the T-Mobile, you can follow my thread for my experience and usage as I test it on the network.

Both links are strangely wrong. Thanks ahead of time for fixing them.
All I've heard is that it is missing 1 T-Mobile band, but I don't know which one.

Well title says it all.. Duos model is almost 100 euros cheaper so are there any differences with S9+?
Are they only rom related or do they have differences in h/w as well? And why is it cheaper anyway?
Thanks in advance for your replies

One is dual sim, while the second isnt. Simple as that.
I believe duos is EX, and the non could potentially be SD.
I think it is:
1 sim = S9+
2 sims = S9+ Duos (also known as Hybrid but has Duos on the back of the device).
I might be wrong. I normally am according to the better half!

i am also wondering with this duo version though mine is duos, i thought the hybrid sim is standard since years ago for flagship phones but seems with these 2 variant it isn't. i thought at first with this duos variant have 3 slots: 2 sim 1 mSD but seems its just another hybrid one *sigh*
The duos as long as it's the exynos version with the same product code (G965FD) will run any official G965F firmwarw fine. I got one from Hong Kong and flashed the UK three firmware and now I get volte and WiFi calling. It was over £200 cheaper than Samsung UK!!!

Thanks this is what I was looking for to hear. Not having the same firmware model as the world one would be a no go since f/w updates would be different.

S9/S9+ Duos is a Hybrid Dual SIM device based on Samsung Exynos 9810 platform.
S9/S9+ Regular (non-Duos) is a Single SIM + SD Slot device based on either Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 OR Samsung Exynos 9810 platform; it depends upon the model number.
I could find all model numbers here with a quick google search; I am not sure if this information is absolutely correct though.

the duos has 2 imei numbers. I've heard speak that the non duos may well support dual sim but I am unsure. Someone can check and get back to us?

The 2nd slot (hybrid one) accepts only SD cards on non-duos models.
Samsung might not be using "Duos" branding in all market where it sells Dual SIM variants.
For eg. European dual SIM variants are branded Duos but Indian dual SIM variants are simply called "Samsung Galaxy S9 Dual SIM".

For anyone who are interested the Hong Kong version is dual SIM only with Qualcomm CPU and the sim2 slot can be used as SD card slot
http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/smartphones/galaxy-s9/spec/
The model name and number are different and I have been using the S9+ 128gb version SM-G9650/DS
Hong Kong version is hybrid dual SIM with SD 845.
Other versions sold here are parallel imports.

thank you for this info. I have been reading here
someone saying that "one has single sim has two sims. it is simple as that"
No it is not so simple.
He failed to provide this useful info YOU gave and which makes it a dealbreaker. Because i want to buy a dual sim which also has an sd card slot available
(non hybrid).
This changes all. I have put for sale my single sim s8 plus in order to buy a dual sim s9plus.
Now i will keep my s8plus and continuew using my good old s3 for my work phone.

Sorry to be that guy, but this is wrong.
I have a Duos s9+ running on a Snapdragon 845. (G9650/Argentina so Chinese Snapdragon, OEM Unlock and Root capable. YAY) It is, as you said, a hybrid tray, so will accept either two sims, or one sim and an SD card.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the processor.
for HK version , I think it has one difference, one's slot can support SD cards.
