Can I use the GS3 with Exynos on T-Mobile HSPA+? or is it not compatible?

i answered this in a locked thread. international SGS3 on T-Mo USA will only get you Edge speeds. so the answer to your question is no, it is not compatible with HSPA+.

3G (HSPA+ 21Mbps): 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100MHz
4G (HSPA+ 42Mbps): 1700/2100
LTE: 700/1700
in other words, you'd get Edge if you used an international version on Wind/Mobilicity. this would be the same as if i imported an international version and used it on T-Mobile US.
Wind/Mobilicity/Videotron = T-Mobile US (same bands)
Telus/Bell/Rogers/etc = ATT (same bands)

If you're dead set on the Exynos for Tmo, I hope your smothered in wifi all day or your area gets refarmed to 1900 MHz HSPA sooner than later...

Currently my unlocked MT2L03 only supports the USA LTE Bands. Can I unlock additional LTE Bands for worldwide usage? I am guessing TDD Bands will just not be there. But how about additional FDD Bands?

It's dependent on the modem inside the chip. If the other bands are not on the chip, no, you can't access them.

Hi there,
Well that's the obvious answer isn't it.
The question posed in OP is whether there are more bands accessible and whether anyone has made any progression in this domain for the Huawei devices.
I think one of the questions is whether the Kirin chipsets might have the Qualcomm modem on them (which is used in a lot of mobiles) and how to activate diag mode.
Anyone?

Hi ScoobSTi,
Right you are!
Which means it has Qualcomm chipset.
To add or change bands: look here and here, both on XDA.
Quite some report that they succeeded, but caution is to be paid.
Kind regards,
Thanks for the replies. MT2L03 uses Snapdragon 400 chip. I checked out the other links shared in the posts but they seemed to be for LG phones so unlikely to work on the Huawei.
Specifically I am interested to activate FDD LTE Band 3 / 1800.
The phone is shipped with FDD LTE bands 2, 4, 5 and 17 activated.
Thanks

Yep, that's correct. Just want to activate Band 3 LTE ... I am quite sure the radio would work if we have the code to activate it....

I would like to know if Redmi Note 4 can be used with US carriers? I am moving there and was planning to buy a phone
Redmi Note 4 Supported Bands:
2G bands GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G bands LTE band 3(1800), 5(850), 40(2300)
US Supported Bands:
2G capabilities GSM 850, GSM 1900
3G capabilities UMTS 850, UMTS 1900, UMTS 1700, UMTS 2100
4G capabilities LTE 700, LTE 800, LTE 1700, LTE 1900, LTE 2100, LTE WCS 2300 (30), LTE 2500
Doesn't look like it but I wanted to know, since some users have claimed that they are able to use 3G despite the band being unsupported.
Get the ZTE Axon 7, Supports USA bands. I wish I did. To answer the original question. The note 4x works on at&t in the US, only one band. Band 5, sucks. So its not as fast as it could go but it at least works slow.
I have a Redmi Note 4X international edition and I'm running on the T-Mobile network. I'm in Utah. I couldn't give you the detailed channel info but you can always check the site http://willmyphonework.net/ it's a pretty good site to check phones against networks. That's what I did before I purchased my phone.

Don't know. I don't have a data plan.
I'm using the Redmi Note 4 global edition on T-Mobile and I get LTE on band 4.
Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk
Where did you buy it?
Is the LTE just as good as any other phone or is it ****tier in some way?
I don't understand why more people don't use them here if they work just as good, since it's clearly the best phone out there under 200 bucks, as far as I can tell.
I ordered a global version, but I still don't have any confidence that it's gonna work based on what little information I can find on the internet.
I'm on T-mobile US, using a Redmi Note 4 Global, and I've had no issues with it. Good LTE speeds, but I can't get VoLTE to work though.
Screenshot of my speeds here: http://imgur.com/h7So6Sj
yeah, I've been looking at apps like LTE Discovery the last couple days, and it looks like there's plenty of Band 4 in town where I'm at, so I guess that's good. Usually the places I go when I go out of town have no lte anyway so I doubt I'll be missing much.
I don't mind not having VoLTE since I use like 10 minutes of voice calls a month and I don't think my current phone uses it anyway.
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.
Anyone want to chime in on this?

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)
TD-LTE 1900/2300/2500/2600 (Bands 38,39,40,41)

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.
I got it here in USA. Waiting for rooting!!!

you're right, it should work on AT&T, only the LTE band 30 is missing here but it'll work and that's pretty much it if someone tries to use it on other carriers, like Tmo etc...

Didn't even think about eBay, thanks for the tip @cline2. Just ordered a S10e exynos from another seller for $697. Paid for the next day shipping and should have it Thurs.
Got my S10e G970F/DS, in the US today, currently working well on Mint Mobile, excited for rooting!

Where do you see the LTE Band coverage? I've clicked on that link and there's no information on LTE Bands.. might be because I'm viewing it on mobile. Are you stating that the G975 F/DS does not support band 12/66 like every eBay seller claims it does?

Exynos 'N' has 12 , then all UK exynos models have 12 and 66 but aren't listed as F/DS but rather as "hybrid sim" F only, I guess that counts as a DS but isn't specified that way.

Damn, I'd be curious to see how this information was amassed.. either way, I'm hoping that the Exynos version that I'm getting is the UK version.. it's coming from a seller in Miami so I'm gonna say it's not lol - most likely from South East Asia.
