I know Sammy had to make this model because of some hardware compatability issues with T-Mobile's 3G network, and I've head that the standard international S2 (i9100) won't work with T-Mobile's 3G. If I buy the T-Mobile version, will I be able to use this in Asia? (specifically Thailand).
Right now I'm debating whether to get this or the Sensation. I'd rather get this phone, but I'm moving to Thailand next year, so I just want to make sure everything will work. I've searched everywhere and I haven't found an answer to this question.
it will depend which network frequency you are planing to use it on, but the answer is likely yes
Heard today Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 3G/LTE would be available in store. Can some confirm if its true? and price details.

which country? I really like the T325 version but don't think it will be available in the US... the LTE band is not compatible with ATT or Tmobile anyway...:crying:
Model: SM-T325
3G band: 850/900/1900/2100MHz
4G band: 800/850/900/1800/2100/2600MHz
Yea. I bought mine in Hong Kong and am using it now.
Sent from my SM-T325 using xda app-developers app
And full telephon functions??

Are you using it with a US Carrier and are you getting LTE??
I want to import one and I want it to work with AT&T LTE.

I highly doubt it will work with ATT LTE, the radio is missing LTE band 4 or 17.

I am using the SM-T325 on AT&T. I upgraded from the Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5100, and I simply swapped out the SIM card. I can confirm the tablet is able to send/receive voice calls, but so far it looks like I've only been able to achieve HSPA+ mobile data rates. The stock ROM allows you to select LTE/WCDMA/GSM network mode by default, but the status bar only shows the "H+" indicator. Using OOKLA speed test, I've been able to achieve around 9Mbps down, which is the same as my iPhone 5 and HTC One with LTE. Maybe it is a coverage issue?
I've rooted the tablet, and my apps are able to access the SD card using SDFix. However, I have not been able to successfully install a custom recovery like TWRP 2.7.0.1. I don't know if the radio can support faster mobile data rates, but so far the download speed has been similar to my Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5100, iPhone 5 and HTC One, which is good enough for me. On the other hand, the display quality and battery life are superior to the GT-N5100, so I am very happy with the SM-T325.

There will not be a software reason that your speeds are limited. I would expect coverage might be an issue because I expect the HTC One to have higher speeds than that. I don't believe LTE is possible on ATT or T-Mobile though.
wondering if the 8.4 LTE will work on Verizon

there are 8.4 LTE models on ebay from china and hong kong - I'm wondering if they would work on the Verizon network -- if not could i install kernel from here
androidpolice.com/2014/03/05/samsung-releases-kernel-source-for-tab-pro-8-4-wi-fi-and-lte-variants/
any ideas - - if not I guess I'll have to with kindle fire hdx and root it ... would prefer this though
thanks

This is great news. If we (US AT&T variant) could install foreign rom, like we could with the original Galaxy Tab, this would be an awesome device for phone and tablet.
i have one since 2 days
i have a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Wifi / 3G / 4G LTE
i'm French and i can say that i'm very surprised by the high screen quality and many others funtions.
So great !
i had a Galaxy Note 8 3G before.
One only solution for me to get it : expansys.com (499€)

Yeah you won't get LTE on that tablet in the US. The International SM-T325, just like all other international unlocked Samsung LTE devices, specifically locks out US LTE bands. Samsung most likely does this on purpose because they don't want people importing them to the US and taking business away from their carrier partners. It's probably the same reason why they don't directly sell unlocked devices direct to US consumers like, for instance, HTC does. So, yeah, if you use one of those on any US carrier, the most you're ever going to see is HSPA+, unfortunately. When it comes to Samsung devices and LTE in the US, you either buy it from a carrier, or GTFO.
On that note, I really wish AT&T would launch the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 already. I want that tablet really bad, but refuse to buy a WiFi-only version

I hate AT&T and their lousy selection of Android tablets and even worse updates. I bought the Note 8.0 LTE and am still stuck on 4.1. Here's an idea. I bought a used TMobile Note 10.1 2014 LTE and unlocked it to run on AT&T. Now to sell the Note 8.0! I do miss the form factor, though.
Yeah I don't know what the hell happened with the Note 8.0 on AT&T. That 4.1.2 ROM still has that annoying freeze problem that Samsung fixed in the 4.2.2 update. Some variants of that tablet are getting KitKat now so hopefully AT&T and Samsung will actually roll this one out to the I467 since they skipped 4.2.2.

zombie thread, I know. Running our t325 on T-MO. I haven't heard of any dev coming up with a radio that'll enable speeds above hspa+. That's strange to me, because even back in the day of the Note 1 (original note ... not even called '1' ... because that's all there was) - there were dev's that managed to upgrade our international model to U.S. 4glte . . . . and when the note came out, lte was hardly even in its infancy stage. IIRC, at that time, T-MO only had one model that was 4g ... some little htc model with a slide keyboard. Maybe the international tab pro 8" is getting less attention because of KNOX ??? or because it's simply not as popular as other devices?
.
What models of the Galaxy Tab S will have the voice phone calling, SMS, MMS capabilities?
I'm mainly interested in the 7-8" versions. Also not overly concerned about LTE bands mis-match.
Thanks

From what I understand non US cellular models. If I recall correctly this is t805 models. Wish we could get U.S. models this capability through system software, but I don5 think there is developer interest.

I agree. US cell providers have their head up you know where. I just tested my international version Galaxy Note Pro 12 12.2 as my car phone (2016 F-150 with Navdy HUD) and it worked fine (both directions). Now I just need to find a 7-8" international tablet and get rid of my AT&T branded version.
T705 is international 8.4" LTE version, it handles calls, sms and mms quite good, and doesn't even seem strange if you hold it as phone and speak, as it is slim and elegant
