Hi,
I am currently in taiwan, and I was just wondering if I bought a gs2 here, and unlocked it, would I be able to use Rogers with it? Im scared that after I buy it, that some functions won't work. Im a total nub at this so I tried to search things up, but nothing came up. Please help .

Really depends on the 3G bands it supports as different countries will have different versions of the SGS2. If it supports 3G 850mhz you're good to go.
its in chinese (which i can barely ready ) but it says something like HSPA 21 Mbps, does that represent the 3g or 4g
My phone is from the UK and i'm on fido from Canada. Everything works perfectly fine. I believe Rogers owns Fido too, so I would guess yes. Everything should work just fine.
my friend tells me because im buying it from taiwan, that it is automatically unlocked so i dont need to unlock myself, is that true?
I am using it right now with Rogers. No problem at all.
Hello, this phone was never released in Canada and I am thinking of purchasing one. Problem is I'm not sure what version will work to allow me to get lte signal. I am looking at a unlocked tmobile phone. Would anybody know what versions will work? Sorry for the question but I am not sure how to figure out the bands, and I don't want to purchase something that won't work properly. Thanks for the help!
you can use a T-mobile one just fine. However you must purchase it unlocked. DO NOT under any circumstances buy one that is not confirmed to already be unlocked. You will likely not be able to unlock it yourself. Many of us (myself included) have failed miserably to unlock this particular device.
Hello, thanks for your help! The search for a phone will continue the guy selling the phone doesn't want to ship to Canada. I did find a person selling international version. Just never seen a duel sim phone before so going to do some reading on it. Once again thanks!!!
I have the dual SIM version (h961n) and I'm on Virgin Mobile. Out of the box, it works with full 3G and limited LTE support (2600mhz - works only in Downtown Toronto). However, after rooting and following the LTE band enabling instructions, I was able to get all the LTE bands I need for the network (Band 2, Band 4, etc...). I hope this helps in your search for a phone
Thanks for the help! Going to continue looking for a tmobile or At&t so I hopefully can get full lte without doing any root. Thanks again for the help appreciate it!!!
The Mexican one works for Roger's!

The Taiwan version of the V10, H962, are all sold unlocked, even those which are sold through carriers. They are bloat free too. Dunno if they can be used I Canada though. But they are all dual sim and have 64gb of internal storage.

Hello, How hard was it to root and make the changes to get LTE bands to work? thanks for the information. I am having a hard time finding a phone out of the US with the exchange rate and the duty and shipping.
Hello,
Can someone tell me if there is any better or worse US version of this phone to purchase when it comes to bloatware? as on ebay the verizon version seem to sell cheaper than the at&t or tmobile version. I like the tmobile version because they don't stamp there logo on the back of the phone. But read there phones get blacklisted alot? any suggestion would be great! Thanks

How did you manage to enable lte bands? If you can help, or post a link to the forum, that would be great...

I have one H962. Do you mind sharing how to enable LTE on it? Thx.
Hello,
I am using Redmi Note 3 SD version. I have used it since December 2016 with Jio(India)
It worked perfectly. Now after using it with Vodafone 4G , i faced issue with 4G and most of the time got 3G network which i thought was restricted to that carrier.
Now i switched back to Jio and 4G drops constantly in some areas where other phones work perfectly with same SIM
I unlocked Bootloader flashed old MIUI version and rooted my phone
I installed Network Guru in that
for Band 40(2300) it drops constantly with LTE RACH being Radio Link Failure and Failure at MSG2
When i lock it to BAND 5(850) it works perfectly. Can someone help me find out whats the issue? I would love to get back to using all the bands as this may prevent me from using network in some areas

My kenzo has the same issue with China Mobile(China).
Failure at msg2 for band 38, band 40 and band 41.
Currently, I lock it down to band 39 to get it work.
I tried another SIM card by China Unicom doesn't have this problem, it uses band 3 and works fine.
Tried to flash the original ROM and modify the NV with QTSP but didn't work.
HW Issue

I think its an hardware issue, replacing the motherboard might be the only way
Hi Guys
I am thinking of purchasing this phone but i have a question about the 5g part. On the box it says EE. So does that mean the phone will only work with EE 5g. I am planning on using vodafone 5g. If the phone is unlocked, does the 5g work on other networks?
Thanks
Also,, does that mean the phone is locked to EE
Can you unlock these phones?
I have one from EE. It's not locked and I use it on another network.

Where did you purchase it from?
I purchased one from EE and it's unlocked, was extremely surprised.
The only thing it's not dual SIM.
Sim lock
I bought mine from cEx £415 EE green, but tried my Smarty (Three) sim in it and it works
happy days, just pray it's not blocked wihin my 2 year warranty period
How is the battery life on this phone?
Anyone got any reviews on the 5g version of the phone?
I've ordered the oppo Reno 5g from ee expecting it Monday to be delivered.
Not exactly upgrading as I have a Samsung s10 plus.
I've just decided to pay me contract off to reduce my monthly outgoings , I was only 8 months into my 24 months and there was 500 to pay so I've sold my S10+ and ordered the Reno 5g because I've managed to get it for £25 a month
I just hope it's not crap ?
Reviews are mixed and there isn't many of them either

Please give me an update comparing the Reno 5g to your s10+. I am really interested i what you have to say.
Thanks
Does that mean my unlocked oppo 5g handset will work on Vodafone 5g or is only one EE?
Does anyone know about the 5g part. Surely I can benefit from another networks 5g other than EE?
OK I am quite annoyed because I emailed oppo and they said the 5g signal was will only work from EE. I had no idea the handset will be locked to only one networks 5g signal.
So frustrating
Does anyone know if oppo will ever allow us to use 5g from a different network?
Any reviews of EE 5G signal?
Cmon surely some people must own the 5g version of the phone.??
I've got 2 of them but i'm not in UK. My Reno's 5G are not locked. Why not asking directly EE to know ?
Does anyone actually know if the oppo reno 5g handset is locked to 5g service only. I am currently using it on vodafone but i never get 5g signal on it even when they tell me that 5g is activated. o2 are starting to get 5g and my contract finishes in December. I am debating whether to stick with vodafone or move to o2 but i want to be able to use the 5g service due to the fact i have a 5g handset. EE is really expensive for sim only so that is why i do not want to go with them.

Is 5g network rolled out in all areas where you live. I can tell you know that where I am in Australia, there is barely any 5g network, so best I get is 4g
Evening all,
Just a bit of advice, I'm looking to upgrade from my g8x to the v60. As the european/international version is virtually impossible to find, I'm looking at the unlocked USA variants of this phone. Does anyone have this model in the UK and can confirm that it works on 3g/4g OK? I've found different sources stating that some of the bands aren't present in the USA variants - not bothered about 5g, just as long as I can get 3 and 4g on o2 it's fine. Also tried frequency checker but it doesn't seem to list the v60 on there for some reason...
OK so I've just come across the website Kimovil, this seems to be more helpful - looks like the only one that is going to be any use is the Canadian variant of the phone, the USA versions from t mobile/at+t have most of the bands missing for use in the UK. Explains why they go for far less online!
Interesting have you got a link to that site or have a link of where to buy one that will be good for UK
Also looking to buy a v60 to use on the UK
Kimovil.com
Not really found anything other than links for the USA versions of the phone, they don't seem to have the correct bands for most of the UK networks. I'm just watching eBay and seeing what comes up...
I bought an ATT model, unlocked from Ebay. I live in The Netherlands and my provider, Simyo, uses the KPN network with 800mhz (band 20) and 1800mhz (band 3) for 4G/LTE. After inserting my sim everything worked right away. Calls, data, no problems at all. My provider does not support 5G yet
Edit: be aware that you will not receive updates like android 11 (if on 10) or security updates on the V600AM.
I bought the V600AM, I'm in the UK and I can confirm that it works with O2. The only issue is that phone will switch to 2G when making voice calls,soon after hang up it will switch back to 4G LTE.

OK that's useful to know, I'm still not sure about 3g support as where I live in the depths of rural Cornwall we seem to struggle a bit with 4g - it's OK when I'm outside but indoors tends to drop back to 3g, I can use wifi at least. Thanks for the info though

Yeah, the 3g coverage is a thing for me as I tend to only get 4g when outside, it reverts to 3g indoors and I think that may be an issue for me with this phone as it needs to be a daily driver - as far as I can see the USA variants don't support the right bands for UK use....

You could force the phone to be on "LTE Only" with an app from Gstore,but then you won't be able to receive and make voice calls. Not ideal, but considering this phone is from a US network,it will never be 100% compatible with UK Networks. If only someone would find a solution to root it!!!
Which bands use for UK?
Calls will be via 3g if your region coverage that bands.
