Don't know what country you're in. But the n5100 is the best variant for the US. The LTE in the 5120 isn't compatible with AT&T and it's missing the 1900 mhz used for HSPA.

i am in the uk but am looking at getting the n5120 hope it works as a phone in the uk as the 4g is available on 3 network.

Wait. Im confused, is this saying that ypu just posted a rom with fully functional 3G data connection and call capabilities? I must be misunderstanding what this is because there arent already 50 other posts here full of excited folks. Maybe this is just like the Euro firmware huh? Someone with more knowledge than myself explain this please.

I believe this is the thailand modem, which uses the same baseband as at&t.
I do not believe this is a "missing link" for t-mobile calls +3g...

Thank you.
I use Galaxy Tab P1000T from Telstra that support HSPA 850 voice and data ^^
Is it possible for one of the DEVs to test this for us.?
I flashed it to my Tab for use with telus. Noticed no difference, except that the signal strength indicator (bars) is consistently one less then normal.
Baseband: P1000TDXKM2
I cannot use Truemove SIM in my Galaxy Tab, since I boyght it in Samsung Mobile Shop and it uses 900 instead of True 850. Now I cannot get 3G in Bangkok . (That is what True says)
Will it help to install this 3G Modem, or do I need to replace my Galaxy Tab?

This is what I want to know too. I'm using original Galaxy Tab and it only supports 900/1900/2100 for 3G.
I'm using 3G sims from i-Kool and i-mobile which are using 2100MHz band from TOT. But I want to use True 3G because I still can use Edge/Gprs outside their 3G coverage area and they included wifi into their internet package which is the most valuable package for now.
But I guess there is no luck for us yet. Because iff it's possible, the DEVs would already integrated those 850MHz supported modem driver from some other Tabs into original Tab already.
Can we get a cwm flashable please?

Ok People... Im on US T-Mobile and decided what the hell... What do I have to lose with Flashing this Modem.. My Sim is for the G2 Phone and guess what I get Edge showing and I get calls... How do you like that??? Well... Im kinda happy but wish it would get some G3 speeds although my G2 phone is a G4 speed.. But for now I will use the Tab in its Edge setting.
you should be careful when trying stuff like this, dont be too exited and flash it right away without re-read the post a few times, to me it looks like any other modem out there such as the bell modem.

[Q] 4G LTE 1800 mhz

Hey guys,
So I know this may be a noob question but I bought my Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 yesterday in Italy. I know that Italy is getting 4G/LTE in 800/1800/2600 Frequencies. My N7100 accepts the 1800 mhz GSM frequency.
Does that mean I will be able to access the 4G?
If not, can I do something? Flash a radio?
If there is no solution with my current phone, ill need to get another phone and spend another 699 eur.
I know many say you need the Note II LTE but it will be on 700 and 2100, not the ones offered in Italy.
My friend has the same issue with his brand new SIII.
Ideas? Anyone help?
2G, 3G and 4G (LTE) can use various freqs in different regions. Sometimes they even share the same freq. A 1800Mhz 3G does not mean that 1800Mhz 4G will work. It's different a modem by hardware and software in the phone.

Your N7100 doesn't have an LTE radio, so it is never going to work on LTE.

That depends on the LTE bands that the device supports. You are looking for LTE band 3, which is 1800MHz.

The official LTE versions of the Note 2 and S3 from Hong Kong are tri-band LTE models. Running LTE bands 900mhz 1800mhz and 2600 mhz. So as long as your carrier has LTE in any of those bands it will work. The iphone 5 is only 1800mhz. I am currently using 4G on 1800 and 2600mhz as my carrier runs both bands.

Which will get most Dev support? 4G lte or 3g international???

Hi all,
I am getting a note 2 sometime in the UK ext couple of months, but i cant decide between the galaxy note 4G lte, or the 3g version.
I was just wondering:
Which device do u think will get most Dev support?.
Which device will most people be buying?.
And is the 4G version still called the international version? Or is it a carrier branded version that company's have imported??.
Will the 4G version get the official firmware updates the same time as the 3g version? Or will u have to wait longer on the 4g?.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

There is or was allready a similar thread mate, but to answer the question i guess the Inetrnational N7100 (3G) would be the most supported one.
Yeah the N7100 appears to be heavily supported at the moment, the N7105 should get simular support as it grows in numbers.

[Q] Note II LTE on 3G

Hi,
My Missus is on EE and I'm on O2. She's going to upgrade to a Note II and swap it with my iPhone 4S. Will the LTE variant work on O2's network or will she need to get the non LTE variant??
Cheers
It will work fine on 3g, maybe the lte might or might not have the right frequency for O2 network when they roll it out.

ATT Note 2 work on Straight Talk ?

Was at Worst Buy today, they said would price match any online price for the Note 2, plus offer me free insurance if broken, or any issues.
I was gonna get the true international Note 2, but worried if it has issued or warranty problems, it would be much easier to just go back to Best Buy than to have to mail it off, out of the country.
So, that being said, I am on Straight Talk, I hate being raped by the carriers and handcuffed into outdated contract system. Would the ATT Note 2 work on my Straight Talk SIM ? Or does the phone need to be unlocked first ?
I never unlocked a phone before. But I always root and install custom ROM the first day I take phone out of the box. Does rooting a phone, automatically unlock it too ?
And how bout HSPA+ ? Straight Talk doesn't do LTE yet, just HSPA+ I know the ATT Note 2 is LTE, but does it also have HSPA+ too, or just slower 3G ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
You would have to unlock it, either buy scrounging a code or going to the carrier and asking for one. Rooting doesn't automatically unlock the device. As far as 4G I really dunno, but I'm sure someone will tell you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I believe you only need to buy the att version of the straight talk sim. No need to unlock. Then you go on their web site and get the APN.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
Thanks, so I am currently using the ATT SIM on Straight Talk. Just pop that in the new Note 2, and it will work right out of the box ?
What about HSPA+ ? Straight Talk doesn't have LTE. Does the ATT Note 2 have HSPA+ 3G besides LTE ?

It is not the sim from att. Its a straight talk sim made for att phones. You have to order them online. It uses att network and you would get everything except lte.
https://www.straighttalk.com/ShopSims is where you order the sim and there is more info on the service on the site.

On my international One X, I am using Straight Talk with the ATT SIM. In the Straight Talk package, there were three sims to choose from. T-Mobile, and two ATT, one regular size, and one micro/mini, which is what I am currently using.
So can I just take this mini ATT SIM from Straight Talk, and pop it in the ATT Note 2 from Best Buy, and it will work ? I don't need to have the phone unlocked ?
Thank you

Its already been answered and yes ITS BEEN A LONG time since ive even seen a UMTS on my phone. and also HSPA+ is still 3G.... Straight talk Uses Edge,3G, and 3.5G which is HSPA+
Also if the Note 2 only used LTE then people would not be buying it cause not all AT&T areas are LTE...
I am more than happy with 3.5G HSPA+, plenty fast for my phone needs, I just wasn't sure it was included in the Note 2, for some reason I thought was just standard 3G only and also LTE.
Most the time I am in a WiFi area anyways, at Home or Work Office, so LTE not a deal breaker for me.

Good point, thanks for the answer.
Last question, since I am using the ATT Sim for Straight Talk, is there even any point to have the ATT Note 2 unlocked ?

I would, just in case your are in area where there is no at&t service and are on the Edge network. Not only that but unlocking is free!!!
