Any D820/821 sort of thing with the new Nexus 5X? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering because last time I ordered the N5 I got the D820 (from the US) and it doesn't work with LTE bands in my country. Now, I ordered my phone from the UK. Are there any models for this phone like there was D820 and D821? Or is it like a general model that works with everything, everywhere?

Looking at the specs page, it does state two different versions: international and US. It may be just one model with different radios or two models. It isn't clear

H790 is US and H791 is international
Taken from the FCC filings

@Bei60 can I ask you which is your country/opetator?
I live in Italy and I've read here D820 should work as the D821(that I own), I read the H790/1 bands specs, but I don't know how to know what band(s) my (and the other national) uses.
I have the opportunity to buy a cheaper us device, but I don't want to risk connectivity/speed problems...

Here's my network info:

N7100 vs N7105 HSDPA+

I am not sure if I misread something last time that HSDPA+ on N7100 is slower than that on the N7105 ? Is this true? I can't seem to find info on google...
I believe it's called DC-HSPA+ Here's evidence from my device:

And if you're from the UK, hardly anywhere has LTE signal yet. Ridiculously over-priced, capped data. Three(3)s DC-HSDPA+ network is incredible like the guy says above this post. I strongly recommend it. I regularly get 8Mbs which is faster than many home broadband connections....
Don't be sold by adverts - do your research and save yourself a lot of money
yeah I bought an N7105 from orange network... £499 it comes with a free decent headphone... then I unlocked it and now using 3UK with unlimited internet... the signal is all over the place though, and I used to get a maximum 6mbps... but after I upgraded to 4.1.2, the data download went up to as high as 12mbps but its sporadic... still observing everything for now
edit: I bought the LTE version for future proofing, as I intend to keep the phone for at least 3 years...... that is if I don't get "upgrade-itis" because I am a sufferer...
I also have the 7105 LTE. Without LTE activated, my speed earlier today was:
That was my fastest to date with any device (Dell Venue, several different Blackberries, Samsung Jack, and Galaxy S III).

Yes, it's true. The N7105 supports 42Mbps Dual Carrier HSPA+ (As well as LTE), whereas the N7100 only supports HSPA+ up to 21Mbps.

Let's clear up H818P's LTE frequencies (bands)

Hi there!
It would be great to have it cleared. Which LTE frequencies does H818-P support? Maybe a better question would be: Which LTE frequencies can you confirm to be working?
I am interested in bands 8 (900MHz) and 20 (800MHz).
Specs of the 818-P model on the internet tend to be very different. I've been also searching here on forums ... but I haven't found a clear answer.

I don't know to much about the various bands but using http://willmyphonework.net/ will tell you if it's compatible in your region and with which networks.

Those Bands are what HTC has on each phone. If you buy one of those Models those are the bands you will get.
Yes people have changed the bands on their phones, but GSM models as far as I've seen are just temporary. So If you bought a GSM model you will get the bands that HTC enabled. CDMA models apparently keep the bands people picked after a reset so if you buy a Verizon or Sprint model off someone on XDA, Swappa etc you have a low chance of getting one with tempered bands.
At the end of the day those are the bands each phone will have. However it never hurts to ask questions if getting a phone from someone who has been on XDA.

Z Play Variants

I'm looking to pick up a Z Play to use on T-Mobile, and I'm trying to figure out how to distinguish between different variants available.
According to willmyphonework, there are 6 different variants of which the Mexican version would work best on T-Mo. What's the best way to identify that the phone I'm looking at is indeed a Mexican version?

In my opinion. You want the xt1635-02 software channel RETUS (Retail United States) that's what I have and I'm on ATT in Arizona. Depending on which Bands T-Mobile uses I am almost certain that I could put a T-mobile sim in mine now and run T-Mobile with no issuea
Hey ssuds, I have the Moto Z play(RETUS) with Tmobile. I do get LTE and everything. Be advised that there is no wifi calling feature enabled on the MZP for us. (even though freaking Moto G5 Plus has it from Tmobile). As for service I just moved from AT&T to T-mobile. Honestly T-mobiles coverage is crap so I dont think it would matter too much.
I'm using xt1635-02 retus on Republic wireless which uses TMo network. No issues, except for the crappy TMO coverage by me (I also have an att Sim which is my primary account - got a deal for free service from Republic at purchase). Phone also worked very well in Ireland on Eir/Meteor.
Was reading​ in another thread recently that att Mexico devices are Sim locked, do that may be problematic if you go that route. No personal experience.

Frequency check help

People always tell me "just check frequencychecker" but it doesn't seem so simple.
For example, looking at a OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition for docomo (a carrier in Japan) I get this: OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren - docomo FrequencyCheck

For one, 5G isn't listed at all. Second, I don't see any frequency bands. And then I see what looks like "definitely works on 3G, 3/5 chance working on 4G." Am I supposed to read this as 3 out of 5 people reported that this phone/carrier combination worked for them on 4G and I basically have a 60% of it working for me?
From comparing their results for my 7T on Verizon it looks like the site is saying that:
1) the 7T McLaren radio can use 35 separate bands
2) Docomo uses 3 different bands for 3G service
3) the McLaren supports all 3 of those bands (100% availability)
4) Docomo uses 5 different bands for their 4G LTE service
5) the McLaren supports 3 of those 5 bands (60% availability)
So far as I know the only 7T phone that currently supports 5G is the 7T Pro 5G McLaren using band n71, I believe it is Europe only looks like there is also a T-Mobile version.
Looks like Docomo uses different bands (n77 & n79) so that wouldn't be compatible anyway/[/S]
