Anyone here has actually done it and is it easy to replace the ram slot to 3G?
According to some users, they had it modified in China.

The T-Mo HD2 is slightly larger than all other HD2s (WWE, etc.). I'm thinking it's probably due to the fact that the T-Mo HD2 has a 1GB ROM and the other HD2s have 512MB ROM. Maybe some of the inner core of the T-Mo HD2 is slightly larger than the WWE.
But, that's just what I think...
I do not use LTE, would it be worth it then?
Why would you want to?
The I747 has the dual core Snapdragon S4 chipset and it's is only about 10%-15% slower (not really noticeable on everyday use) than the quad core Exynos chipset, but the battery life is better on the dual core. It also has 2GB of ram vs. 1GB for the I9300.
The only reason to switch is if you play a lot of graphic intensive games as the I9300 had a better graphics chipset.
Why don't you use LTE? It's smoking fast.

Is this possible? can you switch one carrier Rom to another carrier rom? I have the T-Mobile version of the tablet and the other version is the at&t version. So is it possible to switch the t-mobile rom on the lg g pad x 8.0 to the At&t version of the rom, or is it not possible because of possible little hardware changes?
What are these little hardware changes? More ram? Better cpu? New chipset? If it only is something like "more storage" or "you can now add more sd card space" you can probably port it. Got any link for that at&t rom?

I think everything is almost the same, with the storage and even the CPU, I think they might have 2 separate cpus, some models have the snapdragon 615 and some have the 617, they seem to be the same processor anyway except the 617 is a bit faster. Both at&t and t-mobile use the 617, I think the earlier models used the 615 , but now all of the models use the 617. I don't have the at&t rom and wouldn't know where to find it, I wanted to know if it was possible to switch the rom to a different carrier. I was thinking that LG would have the specs slightly differently so that you could only use the rom for whatever carrier the tablet is.
Not related to roms but has anyone taken an AT&T G Pad X 10.1" running 5.0.1 or 5.1 (can't remember which one it said) and popped a cricket sim card in it and used it?

Hello everybody! I am in research of a dual sim phone with dual 3G capabilities, dual sim full active (as Huawei P8 or P9) and preferably microSD card, at least 64 GB, minimum 4GB of RAM.
Any ideeas? Is there anything like this available?
Note: There are a lot of dual sim phones available now but either full active with 4G/2G or dual stand-by with 4G/3G.
I'm in need of a replacement for my current phone, since it just can't handle modern workloads anymore. Now I noticed this phone on AliExpress and I'm wondering if it's worth buying.
I don't need that much, mostly just being able to run WhatsApp, LinkedIn and a few light apps. Although maybe some multimedia would be nice. I like speed over beauty. And one feature I find pretty much essential is the ability to record my calls.
I notice a whole bunch of different Note 4's on Ali. Two different CPU's, both 8-core and one 10-core variant, 2/3/4G RAM and up to 64G storage capacity. Note 4 and Note 4X. Reading some of the other threads I should go for a SnapDragon, and one can never have enough RAM. But most of those threads are a bit older, maybe the development has opened up more and this changed?
My previous experience with a phone directly from China wasn't the greatest, with battery calibration errors and some apps that just wouldn't install. So I could use some advice here.
Can this phone do what I need it to do (with or without a custom ROM)? Can it be rooted? Which model should I get?
I appreciate any tips and answers you can give me.
Check the following points before buying:
- the 4 / 4X differences are 0, the only important difference is about the chipset
- get the version with Snapdragon chipset, MediaTek is crap
- check the 4G bands available if they're compatible with your country (mainly it's all about band 20)
- choose from the 3GB RAM / 32GB storage version or the 4GB / 64GB
Usually they call 4X the Snapdragon version and 4 the MediaTek one, but this difference is used mainly for identifying the ROMs. Because in reality there are 4X with MediaTek and 4 with Snapdragon. And on the phone box there is written always 4, never 4X.
Then unlock bootloader and install Xiaomi.eu ROM to get all the features you want. It's a lighter and optimized version of stock ROM.
Check if your carrier is using B4 or B20 LTE band. Redmi Note 4 Global support this bands (it's international version of the phone), Redmi Note 4x doesn't support them (it's Asia variant).
Always make sure you buy the variant with Snapdragon 625 chip (Mido).
So that would be a Global Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with 4/64GiB based on a 8-core Snapdragon S625 CPU?
No surprises? I won't get apps that won't install because they don't recognize the phone? Or a boot loader that's too new to unlock, preventing me from installing a new ROM?
And there are ROMs out there that support call recording?
Looks like the main carriers in NL will support it.
Did I forget anything?
And for the current owners: know of a good flip case or at least something that will keep the scratches off?

Yes you will be fine, just confirm twice before buying that the phone has Snapdragon 625 chip and that it does support B20 band (800MHz), it will guarantee that it is Redmi Note 4 Global variant you absolutely need it since you are from Europe.
Call recording is available even on stock ROM.
