Hi friends, these days buy a samsung nexus I9250 galaxy, but I wanted something:
1. few versions of the galaxy samsung nexus there?
2. There is a version that supports GSM networks lte? which is?
3. i9250 model supports HSPA + 21?
4. i9250 model that handles frequencies in HSPA +?
There are 2 versions.
1) CDMA/LTE on Verizon Wireless USA only. Model i515
2) GSM/HSPA+ (21mbps radio). Pentaband (works on any GSM carrier). Model i9250
And that's it! There are no GSM/LTE models.

As I noted in my post... they all support the same frequencies. Its pentaband GSM it'll work on any GSM network in the world.
For your reference so you can stop asking: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-GALAXY-Nexus_id5595
I'm not sure, take expansys for example:
USA:
Network: HSPA+ 21Mbps/HSUPA 5.76Mbps 850/900/1900/1700/2100 / Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz / (Band frequency, HSPA availability, and data speed are operator dependent)
UK:
Network: HSPA/WCDMA Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz / HSPA+ 21Mbps/HSUPA 5.76Mbps / Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz / (Band frequency, HSPA availability, and data speed are operator dependent)
*Also, on Samsung web SAR page, there:
GT-I9250 GT-I9250J GT-I9250M GT-I9250T
from here:
http://www.samsung.com/sar/sarMain?site_cd=&prd_mdl_name=9250&selNatCd=US&languageCode=EN
So maybe there 4 different variant, also there a SC-04D for Japan,
SHW-M420S and M420K for Korea.
somebody have to check it , also the nexus S have plenty of variants, so I see nothing new here, but just go for standard GT-I9250 as it's pentaband 3G that will work in any country , BTW I dunno if GT-I9250* go with other build thank "yakju", not that it will do anything with the frequencies as it's software, but if you think of it, with other devices there mostly 2 main variants, 1 for Europe, and 1 for Americas, sometime also for China, and other regions. Anyone can get more info about it?

It doesn't matter what variation it is, a GSM phone will work on GSM networks and a LTE phone on all LTE networks. (unlocked, of course)
GSM and LTE have completely different frequencies so a GSM phone will not work on LTE networks and vice versa.
PS. HSDPA+ has nothing to do with the phone itself but if the network you are on provides you with it.

Its all just semantics and slightly different radio software. They are all the same. You can use ANY i9250 model on ANY GSM carrier in the world. Read my first post it gives you all the information you need in practicality.
The i9250 is regularly for sale from dozens of resellers. Just buy one ffs.
What did you mean by Its all just semantics and slightly different radio software?
you mean it's possible to disable some of the frequencies with flashing different radio? from what I learned here, software have nothing to do with the frequencies that device supports, only hardware (antennas) matters here. also the other variants, are made for specific operators, so a normal i9520 wins, as you not depend on Samsung or the operator for OTA updates, also I'm not sure if let say J variant get OTA with "yakju".

Not hardware radio, software radio. The different variants (yakju** models) have slightly different radio software for the regions they're originally sold in. All i9250 models support the same GSM frequencies.
These models aren't necessarily made for specific carriers but specific regions. Any i9250 can be flashed to yakju with images from Google if you prefer. You will receive OTAs either way, but may receive them slightly faster if you choose to flash to yakju.
Long story short, you shouldn't care. Just buy the cheapest one you can get, because if it doesn't come with yakju out of the box, it takes about ~5minutes to flash it to yakju and be the exact same (and no this doesn't require root or anything, you just unlock your bootloader and flash images, then it is completely stock).
So just to drive it home again: ANY i9250 you buy will work on ANY carrier in the world. The hardware is the same, and the software may be slightly different, but 100% changeable to your liking. Just buy the phone.
Ok, and I guess, lock the bootloader after?
I also buy it soon, and I also want to use "yakju" build, but dont want to root or unlock bootloader, but there is no way to flash "yakju" without unlock the bootloader?
*sigh*
Jesus christ what happened to the experimental Nexus spirit?
Why on earth even get this phone if you are afraid of touching it?
It's a phone designed to be ****ed with and still be bootable with code hosted outside it if you **** it up completely. It's virtually impossible to break.
How on earth can you even consider buying this phone if your main intention is not using what is what made for?
If you don't want all that, just get a regular phone, made for regular people, where you get your updates, regularly, through some really ****ty 3rd party "value-addon" software. Which only runs on 2 versions of Windows. And slowly.
Or just get your yakju/non-yakju phone and get the updates when you do, which will still be before everyone else.
Really.
You are putting to much into this. Either you want a moddable phone, and this one is it, or you are not a modder, and you should get something else.

That's quite a pompous rant. Shame you're so embarrassingly off the mark. The Nexus is a dev phone, because it is important to have a smoothly running device with the latest operating system out there for manufacturers and app developers. It contributes to the viability of the Android ecosystem (#1 reason the Nexus is made for). Hence the rapid OTA system on an incremental version basis. But you're full blown ego-crazy if you think Google released a phone just for you - the 0.001% that wants to mod. This is a mass market phone now (#2 reason it is made for). Most consumers buy it exactly so they don't have to root and install custom roms to stay up to date without the inherent bleeding-edge bugs that goes along with hacking. All Android phones are moddable. Why the hell wouldn't you have bought something with better specs if you were just going to mod it? You did it wrong. Sorry to break it to you, but Google made the GN without your specific hobby in mind.

You don't root. You do unlock the bootloader, but who cares! If you must have a locked bootloader, its just 1 extra command line entry to lock it again after you're done flashing to yakju.
Don't think you're understanding really. Unlocking the bootloader on a Nexus is not a big deal. It is literally 1 command line entry to unlock or lock. Like I said, flashing yakju takes literally 5 minutes.
I know that, but people here talking about the variants of it,
how can we be 100% sure, that for example M and J have the same hardware?
and only the radio software is different?!

You just know! Stop worrying FFS. I could hand you either one with flashed yakju firmware and you would never be able to tell the difference (even with regional software you wouldn't tell). No matter what, you'll get an i9250 that's what matters.

Do all the GNote 2 variants have the same hardware? (Int'l, US ATT US TMobile).
Not concerned about LTE, but HSPA -
Can a different radio be flashed to enable HSPA on the AWS bands (like the 1st GNote ) -
I'm going to Europe and and may bring back a GNote 2.
Is it still too early to know the answer to this (since the TMo USA GN2 has not dropped yet)?
Thanks all !!!

No, an international Note will not be able to get AWS bands. The AT&T one...possibly. The Inernational will not contain the 1700 band. When the AT&T note was released, they produced them with the 1700 radio anticipating a release on T-mobile, which was why the radio enabling the 1700 band could be flashed. If they mass produce the US versions again, then it should be possible. The T-mobile variant will be pentaband no matter what, since they are starting to use the 1900 band that AT&T uses for HSPA+. Actually, now that I think about it, they will probably be produced seperately because the AT&T version will include LTE, and T-mobile will not...so...nope.
I appreciate the quick response, thank you!
Now, GNote 1 had different chipsets for the Int'l and NAmerican variants (Exynos vs. Qualcomm) - I've been reading that the GNote 2 has Exynos on all its variants, which I haven't been able to verify -
I also read about TMo moving its HSPA to the 1900 Band, which would make the GNote2 compatible...remains to be seen how reliable HSPA service will be on that band (although I must admit, HSPA AWS has been pretty darn good for me in Southern California).
Thanks again, lowandbehold.

The chipsets are exactly the same. The 1900 band will go into affect next year. They are still using the 1700 band.
I bought my first american phone (att Galaxy S3) and was kind of disappointed by the development compared to the international version.
This phone is a beast! Thinking about upgrading and since the HW is all the same except for the radio there should be simple compatibility between ROMs except for the radio off course? Any dev that cares to confirm and comment?
Thanks.
I preface this by stating that I'm no dev. That said, it seems to me that devs should be able to separate the ROM from the radio, and convert International ROM's to work with the AT&T version.

Absolutely. There where a lot of droid roms with no radio in the past so that should be no issue now. However there might be something we are missing as I am no dev either. I guess we just have to wait and see after it is released. Sometimes they change small things like audio chip and stuff like that.

While it might seem simple to seperate the RIL and the rest of the firmware, you should take a look in the international Note2 forums and notice the lack of N7105 development. (The 7105 is the international "LTE" version and would actually be more similar to what AT&T is releasing.)
Take care

I did notice that but at the same time it was a lot of nice modders showing there faces.I believe it was a month ago it was released. I think we are going to see more activity soon (hope). However. The international sgs 3 is more similar (CPU) to the note so maybe fewer upgraders from that one to the note. For instance there is no CM yet.

What you'll lose with the international variant (when compared to the AT&T variant):
LTE
"local" warranty service at an at&t store. (Without buying extra warranty packages such as squaretrade, the international version either won't have any warranty at all, or will require shipping the phone to the place of purchase who will then ship it overseas for actual warranty service.)
Possibly some network/radio "tweaks" to supposedly work better with AT&T towers. (AT&T will tell you this matters, but my own experience has been that AT&T locked devices seem to work WORSE on AT&T towers when compared to generic international radio settings.)
Certain extra bloatware that AT&T preloads on the phone that might not be available or functional on non-AT&T devices. Examples of things that some might consider useful: visual voicemail (supposedly not available on non-LTE devices - I use google voice instead); whatever AT&T does to allow their phones to connect to AT&T wifi hotspots without the need to pre-authenticate or accept extra terms and conditions on each connect.
...In my own opinion, I think the LTE and warranty service items are the only significant things.
For many, LTE might not be that big of a deal. Perhaps there isn't any LTE service in their area or their usage patterns are such that the faster speeds aren't significant. Actually, depending on how you use the phone's data, LTE can actually be a bad thing. An example would be someone who mostly just uses their device for email. Fetching and sending email is usually done in the background, so the data speed doesn't matter - but that background data using LTE will suck down a battery much faster than the same background data using EDGE/UMTS/HSPA.
However, LTE can be great if you use a lot of data for web browsing, tethering, or things like pinterest that use a lot of data interactively (and you are in an area with LTE service)
The warranty issue is only a loss if you get a phone that requires service covered by the warranty. While this is rare, it's not unheard of.
Perhaps the screen goes nuts after you've had the phone for 2 months. If you bought the phone from AT&T, you can get a replacement in a day or two (at no cost to you.) If you bought an international version from (for example) expansys, you'd have to ship the phone to expansys-usa, they'd ship it to Expansys Europe, who would then ship it to Samsung for service. After a few days or weeks, samsung would send the supposedly fixed phone back to expansys europe who'd send it to expansys-usa who would send it to you.
Some US-based retailers of the international phone won't even provide that type of warranty service - in that case, you'd basically have NO warranty at all. (This is the case with many of the amazon-based places that sell the n7100.)
... on the other hand, there are many negatives to the AT&T device when compared to the international (and those have been discussed many times over, so I won't list them all here.)
N7105?
ANy chance someone could net out the differences between the soon to be release ATT / LTE version and the International N7105 (LTE & H) versions? Like, will the ATT version be able to connect to all:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600
like international N7105 version? Seems if it does not, and the N7105 works on ATT it would be best to avoid bloat and issue by obtaining the N7105.

Getting the 7105 for use on at&t would be a waste of money. The ONLY note2 that will work on at&t lte bands will be the 317. EU lte bands are different from US lte bands.

Avoiding the bloat is easy enough to do yourself with a program like titanium. Or you just install a custom rom. HW and support/development are the main things. And in this case it seems to be advantage to att for once in the HW department (minus FM radio that I personally don't even care about) . But from my limited lack of US dev. The international support is far superior atleast in my galaxy S3 experience. Amazing if the development can run simultaneously on att and International. That is a win!

At&t has a warranty. If anything happens to the n7100 your screwed.

Are there any differences in the LTE support of N7105 bought in different countries?
Given that not all network providers support the same LTE bands, do the cellphones they sell get restricted to work only under their specific frequencies?
I am planning on buying a N7105 from TMN in Portugal, but I will be moving to the US for a PhD course after a couple months, and I would like my cellphone to not suffer any 4G speed losses due to connectivity restrictions in the device.
I have tried googling this, but could not come to any precise conclusion . Can anybody help?
Thank you in advance!
The N7105 has 800/1800/2600 MHz LTE capabilities, I believe. This is the same for every model sold.
On AT&T in the US, 3G will work just fine. I'm not sure you'll be able to use 4G, though, since they use different bands for LTE.
EDIT: Yes, AT&T uses 700 and 1700 MHz for LTE. The maximum you'd get on their network is HSPA+.

Here may be another stupid question, But Not even Samsung them selfs on the USA Department couldnt answer this, So let me explain a few things before I ask, so that you may understand what I may be talking about..
I have 2 Samsung galaxy S Tab's 10.5
One is 32gb Wifi Bought from Best Buy (T800)
The other is 16gb Wifi LTE International (T805) Unlocked.
From what I understand the International version will not support 4G on T-Mobile or most any carrier in USA do to the supported Signal.
What I want to know is, Whats the diffrents between the International and the Local USA version when it comes to the LTE. I cant find anything that tells me what I want to know.
From what I can see, is the signals ranges are the same as the USA version. but maybe I am reading it wrong,
When I check out the hardware with diffrent apps that support that. it pretty much shows the two being the same except for a few things that dont seem to matter.
So to make a long story short,, I just want to know what the diffrents is between the LTE Local USA and the LTE International version.

1. I believe the USA specific versions are voice crippled so you cannot make voice calls.
2. According to here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_US#Radio_frequency_spectrum_chart
The frequencies supported by T-Mob USA for LTE are....
1700/2100 MHz LTE 4G In Service/Building out Covers 250 million POPs as of October, 2014
700 MHz Block A LTE 4G A-block rollout has begun, and several devices already support this frequency.
1900 MHz PCS LTE 4G In Service/Building out Primarily used for a quick rollout of rural LTE as sites contain a pre-existing GSM antenna
3. According to here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_S_10.5
The frequencies supported by the International 10.5 Tab S are
800/850/900/1800/2100/2600
As you can see the only 'common' frequency is the 2100 Mhz set which 'should' cover the bulk of Urban USA however there may be specific signalling that T-Mob require to allow devices to access that frequency.
Hope this helps
If you have LTE version you be able to call through google hangouts dialer. I do it on n7 LTE. And the app.

I want to thank you very much. I really did search around to try and understand. but when it comes to the carrier LTE stuff, I no nothing about it.
Yea T-Mobile told me the only plan they have for tablets are Data and no voice. that really sucks. I dont understand that one. I have an
LG G3 that has T-Mobile. I can use the hotspot on that if needed.. the chances that im going to leave my house with this Tablet are very slim. so I can just stay with the wifi.
