Thinking about buying this phone. Can you guys tell me the common issues with this phone? The one I'm most concerned with is the headphone jack, does it produce hiss sound at low volume? I ask this since I came across a lot of phones with that issue. Thanks in advance

I personally don't experience hissing on this phone. As far as issues, it involves the OTA from Vendor Roms which bricked some devices. You can check your ROM version and cross reference it with the ones on the Mi website to make sure. Aside from that, I don't see anything wrong with the phone.
Hi, I'm also considering to buy Note 5 and I just wanted to say that I don't have that problem with Note 4, it doesn't mean much since I don't use N5 but I think there is very very little chance for hissing issue in any device produced in 2017.
Hi just want to ask about redmi note 5 plus.

Hi, when I purchased seller offer also a global variant for 40 usd more.
Many people confuse about global device version and global firmware that it´s not the same.
You just have to pay special attention to the bands that is enabled, the global version has more bands enabled, by i.e my version that is a non global doesn´t have LTE bands 2 (1900) nor 4 (1700/2100) it mean that in my country it can´t work on 4G (of course I bought it so it is cause I didn´t need). This is the main difference.

I really don't understand because my device is working with the B4 (1700) band but it is not a real Global version. :silly:

Why do you say that has B4? Where you saw it?
Look at this info, just 4G apparted, this is a non-global version from a chinese seller you can find these specs;
4G FDD LTE B5:850 /B8:900 /B3:1800 /B1:2100 /B7:2600
TD LTE B38：2600 /B39：1900/ B40：2300 /B41：2500 MHz
TD or TDD is the LTE FOR China, look up FDD LTE bands.
And this is a Global version, seller usually put in a red highlighted the bands added
4G: FDD LTE B5:850 /B8:900 /B3:1800 /B1:2100 /B7:2600 /B4:1700 /B20:800;
TD LTE B38：2600 / B40：2300
Differences here are bands 4 for Latin America and guess some regions of Asia and maybe others and band 20 for Spain.

I mentioned that because my 4g shouldn't work but it appears in the notification bar.
I bought the "Official Global ROM" (I saw it is not the Global Version)
FDD LTE B3:1800/B1:2100/B7:2600/B5:850/B8:900MHz
TDD LTE B34:2100/B38:2600/B39:1900/B40:2300/B41:2500MHz
This confuses me :silly:

No, if your device hasn´t these two added bands definitely it´s not a global version (global rom concept mean nothing for this) is a hardware limitation although can work within 4G depending on your company carrier in some of the 5 frequencies enabled.
I have a Chinese RN5, it has loads of bands dudes. The chance of it not working on your network are slim.
As for the headphones dilemma, they do not hiss or produce low volume. Altho if you pair them with Xiaomi Pro HD which have a high impedance then you will notice a lack in volume. That can be easily fixed with Dolby Atmos the Magisk Module.

Hi, despite the availability of the International 4g version of the X1 [7d-501L] in italy, that has all the LTE bands that I need, I bought the chinese 4g variant [7D-503L] in order to receive more and quicker updates.
Now, AFAIK the two versions are indentical in hardware, could a developer extract a modem from the international version and make it a flashable zip that we can put on our chinese 4g variants?
This way we could have the chinese 4g version with all the latest ROMs, but still enjoy FDD-LTE in Europe and rest of the world.
Sorry but it is not correct. The international version has a modem with only fdd frequencies, while the chinese version has fdd AND tdd. So, different modem.
You can search this area and you will find at least two others who have tried to do this, unsuccessfully!
I meant that the chinese version has a ton of TDD bands and only 2 FDD bands. Yes the modem is different, but I believe the difference is in software, not in actual hardware.
Hello you can flash 501l firmware on 503l device without any issue, for me. But I think hardware are not the same, 800mhz fdd LTE band is not present on 503l.

I don't need that. I bought 503L to have all the latest rom, it wouldn't make sense to flash an older firmware. Yes 800 mhz is not present on 503L but I *strongly* suspect that it is disabled by software.
I really think that 501L and 503L are the same, the only thing being that Huawei enables certain bands on one, and other bands on the other one.
Yes I understand and it would be great. But when I flash 501l, I should have 501l modem? Maybe it is a hardware switch?

I agree with you that hardware wise, all the different variations of the X1 are identical. Difference is software/firmware based. The difference is located in a partition that is usually not flashed by a ROM update. I successfully did this with my AT&T Samsung Note 2 and unlocked TMo AWS bands with the help of XDA instructions.
To assist you, I came across this website/blog that has instructions on how to unlock FDD bands on 503L. I have not tried it; I live in the US, even unlocking the FDD bands, I will not get LTE (main US LTE Bands are 2,4,17)

Maybe the modems are different after all.
Dear all,
good afternoon.
I'm here to know if someone knows if it's possible to use my smartphone with band 7 LTE (2600) FDD. As far as I know this version only supports band 3 LTE (1800) but the European version has support for it. Right?
Do you know if putting the European ROM can solve this? Or there is a hardware limitation of the Chinese version?
Thanks guys, appreciate your help.
Take care,
Rui
2600MHz is supported by EU Honor7. It is conditioned by structure therefore you can't just replace the system of Chinese model with EU and have it.
I got the dual sim chinese Honor 7 and it supports FDD 1800-2100 .
I don't know why i can use 4g since my carrier uses 800-2600...

Which carrier? Available information shows that almost all providers cover 2600MHz LTE. Exception is Nextel, which runs on 1800MHz, which is supported by Chinese H7. And there is absolutely no information on LTE 800MHz in Brasil.

Then this is a totally new information. If you have the Chinese Honor 7 and LTE on SFR, it should indeed support either 800 or 2600MHz.
It's not recognizable from any known specifications though. And having been in Austria I can definitely confirm that my phone doesn't work on LTE 2600.

Hi all,
I'm considering getting a Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon version/Pro). I'm a little confused about the bands that it supports. When I check wellmyphonework.net it says that the Global model will work on LTE Band 4, but the China/Unicom one will not. Looking in the forums I see Global and China Roms, but nothing definitive about separate physical models.
Is the hardware all the same(ignoring RAM/Storage variations)? Do the supported bands depend solely on which ROM is installed? If there are distinct hardware versions is there any way to tell which one I would get from ebay or AliExpress?
Thanks in advance.

That's simply not true. The SD650 supports Band 4 which is what he's asking about. Europe doesn't use Band 4 and all the versions support European lte bands. On another thread here a user with AT&T was getting lte on the vendor rom and changed to the Global rom and now only gets H+. I too would like to know which version of the phone I have.
Hello all,
I just saw the review of this phone @gsmarena.com (SD version) and it called my attention because of the supported frequencies (850,1900 2G/3G and B2/B4 LTE). This is the only Xiaomi phone with support for the carriers in my country. I have looked online but all the stores only have the phone with unsupported frequencies, similar to those of the MTK version.
Does anyone know where to but this phone with global band support? Thanks.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Is this site trustworthy?
How do you identify what variant of the phone are they selling? Anyways, the one there is the only one with LTE support for my county.
My other option is the ZUK Z2, but have read very mixed reviews, thus I'm leaning towards RN3.

Hello,
I'm a bit confused about frequency support, as information across sites is not consistent.
From what I' ve read in the forums, there are 2 models:
- Kate, LTE B20 support
- Kenzo, no LTE B20 support.
Most sites sell a version that has no B2, B4 and B20 support, and that would be Kenzo, right?
Some other site lists one with B2, B4 and B20 support, that would be Kate.
But then there's another one that has B2 and B4 support but no B20. Which one is this? Are there different different versions of Kenzo? Is the site spcs incorrect?
Here are the sites and variants:
* B2, B4 AND B20 Support, Kate

Right now what I check is weight, 167 gr mean kate aka Special Edition

My suggestion where get it
I bought from HotMID(dot)com for Xiaomi devices and verified them physically and on mi(dot)com/verify.
Well, I finally made a decision and boght the one from geekbuying.com, which would be Kate.
From whats I've read in the forums, is supported by CM, which is what I would use. I've never used MIUI before, I'll give that a try frist.
My phone should arrive in about a month...

I ordered Mine too from geekbuying but kenzo, I don't need Band 20 but I like flashing and development. I already got the MiPad2 and used it with AOSP for a while(Stock Android) but then they released MIUI 8...And yea I still use MIUI and I love it, I recommend to install the Rom from xiaomi.eu it's globalized and has some other nice optimazions ull love it! Let us know when urs arrived.?
Naily
I received my Kate yesterday evening. So far I like it, MIUI is strage, needs some getting used to. Seems like the ROM is the factory one and has not been tampered with by the seller. I got a notification about OTA Update and it installed without a problem. I'll install the developer ROM today if I got the time and apply for bootloader unlock.

The question of whether the Korean 256GB models (SM-N950N) of the Note 8 having the 1700MHz / Band 4 support or not was in question due to the limited info. online, not showing these bands listed early on...
However, it looks like now that people have the 256GB Note 8's in their hands, many have proved that the Korean variant does indeed have 1700MHz / Band 4 to work 100% on T-Mobile....ie... Full support of all the Bands. (Less the 600Mhz, which is only available on the LG V30 as the first phone so far to feature the new frequency. That's for another topic...
Can those of you who have the 256GB model on T-Mobile, confirm how it's working along with some screen shots of speedtests etc?...
Thanks...
What about Band 66 which is the 1700/2100 one.
I just looked up on https://www.frequencycheck.com/carrier-compatibility/OgWGFv/samsung-sm-n950n-galaxy-note-8-td-lte-256gb-samsung-baikal/t-mobile-united-states and it says this one is missing.

Looking at the 4G Specs here:
http://www.phonemore.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-sm-n950n/specs/3552
It appears it does support both 1700MHz and 2100MHz frequencies, though it doesn't specify band 66. It states it supports these:
LTE Cat16 700/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 (Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,18,19,20,25,26,28)

If you want to reliably verify what bands a Samsung device has my advice to you would be to go to the Samsung website located in the regionn or country that the device is sold in.
Then navigate to the N8 on that website and check the specs.
I've learned never to trust what those third party websites state. Especially frequency check.
Here, I've googled it for you...

B66 is not important for most people on Tmo USA. Google it & see if it's even available in your area. B66 is an extension of B4 & currently not available in a lot of areas. B71 will probably be more of a difference but Note 8s don't support it anyway.
Generally B4, B12, & B2 is what will be primarily used. N950F supports B66 but I've never seen my phone connect to B66 anywhere around me.
