G9650 on Verizon? - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hi, I've noticed that PhoneMore lists all the same bands for the G9650 as the US issued G965U, including the CDMA bands that are not present in international variants. Does this actually mean that the G9650 will work on Verizon in the US?

Curious as well, looking at this model and unfortunately im stuck with Verizon

Yes it will work. Just needs some fixing up to work. I know a guy that has done this on the s8/s8+ and the note 9 models.
I plan to get this model very soon as well to start working with.
I know several guys that will be getting it including @stang5litre

SGH-I717 vs SGH-I717R : What's the difference?

Does R mean 4G LTE?
Mine only says I717, does that mean it's not 4G LTE capable?
If not, I might as well just return it and get the R version.
Or am I totally wrong?
Google/XDA search didn't provide any information about this.
Thanks
BTW, I have AT&T SGH I717

SGH-i717 = ATT
SGH-i717R = Rogers
SGH-i717D = Telus
SGH-i717M = Bell

I'm pretty sure that the hardware is the same for all models, just the firmware is slightly different, so they should all be LTE capable, but I can't confirm that for sure.

that is indeed correct
it's just crapware included in the stock ROM for each of the phone are different
but the hardware is the same on all 4
technically there's also 2 more models from Korea & Japan but i do not know the model code for those
Thank you guys!!!

I installed everything like aurom Rom and flashed everything thinking that i have i717 but later realized that i have i717r. Hope i didn't mess up anything. It seems to be working fine

Those however, run the Exinos chipset, and not the Qualcomm, and only support HSPA+ and not LTE. The chipset is faster, and the data is slower.

Rogers - as ususal, is a different. Different internal hardware

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! The Rogers internals are different. Uses Qualcomm, the others don't. 1.5 Ghz processor compared to 1.4. The Rogers Note -r is a entirely different beast.

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! The ATT, Telus, Bell, and Telus versions have exactly the same internals. All I717 versions are the same except for firmware and cosmetic branding. All support LTE.
The N7000 and I9220 are physically different on the inside and the outside from the I717 Note version. They have a physical home button and run an entirelly different chipset.

I've read somewhere that AT&T version i717 came first, and then 'lettered' versions for Canada appeared. So they are slightly newer and better revision, but I have no idea to what extent.

I9035 in America

Hi I was wondering if the I9035 will be released in America?
If not, where can I buy it?
And also, would I be able to use any carrier like tmobile or verizon?

You actually mean I9305 which I own but I am from australia. There was a user from the US on t-mobile and he stated it worked Only on Edge... Dont ask me what Edge is.. I am thinking it is like 3G... Unfortuanetly the device will not work on your 4G network. One user purchase his from ebay for $800 I beleive it is still showing and here is the link. Location is apparently in Texas, Houston.... Only thing is its only in Black.. I myself have the Grey_Titanium which I love!... But hey if you love black gadgets your in luck!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...5-Jelly-Bean-4-1-2GB-Ram-4G-LTE-/221134136119
Will they eventually release it in the US? Should I wait and get this model or just buy t-mobile one right now?

I dont beleive they will officially release this I9305 in the US because you have your own S3 variant of the 4G already.
edge is 2g
but there are some regions of tmo that actually supports the 1900mhz band.

It believe it should support AT&T 3G but not LTE.
I think im just going to get the regular tmobile version. Do you guys have any tips before buying one?

yup, the i9300 is indeed compatible with AT&T's 3G (i'm using it right now as we speak). In some regions, T-Mo's 3g also works, but there's a link somewhere that shows you exactly where the 1900mhz band is in use.
@OP
if you're going to get the tmo (USA) version, you should check out the appropriate forum for it (no sure what the exact model number is, but you'll find it). Flashing anything from this forum would most probably brick your new phone (due to differences in some hardware and software).

Exynos 9810 What Model Number Unlocked

Hi,
Quick question:
Getting a S9 Plus either way but:
I'd like to get the Unlocked version with the Exynos 9810 chip.
Will I have any issues with bands etc. on T Mobile????
What exactly won't work with US carriers??
Also model numbers if you have them.
Thanks for any insight,
Ken
Also looking for this information.

As I saw on other threads there will be no issues for the Unlocked to work with T-Mobile.

We need carrier specific forums like the s8 and all previous Galaxies. I Wonder why no carrier specific forums for s9? It would for sure help with stuff being posted in the right places. I heard there was an ATT RC6, Where might one find that? Also need a U1 Unlocked section as well. At Least separate the exynos from the snapdragon since NOTHING is interchangeable. Two completely different phones.

I can see having forums for different model numbers, but from what I understand, all of the US carrier versions have the same model number, which means you can interchange the firmware. For instance, I'm running the ARC6 (TMobile) on my ATT device.
While I've had no luck on all of the other firmware out there, whether it's a Google Pay or Samsung Pay issue (I need both), it's nice to have options.

Yes, but you will be stuck on v2 bootloader. Once you go to ARC6, there is no going back.

Locked carriers in the United states are now starting to download android 10 now. VZW

More like carrier versions have started receiving the update, whether the carrier versions are sim locked or unlocked has nothing to do with it.
And yes, US unlocked version still hasn't seen the update as of yet.

Forgive my ignorance I have been team Pixel for many years. I am using unlocked phone on Verizon. So I am waiting for unlocked update correct? The carrier is not relevant

Yes you will get when Samsung pushes the update for US unlocked model. Which carrier you use the US unlocked model is irrelevant.
Received on Snapdragon AT&T last night. Not seeing much of a difference though.
