Using Korean SKT Note 7 in the United States - Note 7 Questions & Answers

So, in August 16th, I got a surprise call from Samsung Headquarter Store in Korea that Galaxy Note 7 that I have pre ordered was available earlier than 19th.. and it was Blue Coral ! yay! ...
Then I brought it to the United States... and I only get 3G.....
Is it normal that foreign phones brought to the U.S only works with 3g network...
Is there anyway that I can use LTE network...
my current carrier is AT&T and plan is Gophone LTE 60...
the model is SM-N930S made for SK telecom in South Korea and powered by Exynos chip.
Thank you !
P.S: When you guys visit South Korea, you guys should visit Samsung D'light headquarter store in Gangnam Station exit 8 !! all samsung peripherals are cheaper there...

Yes this happens sometimes depending on the device and carrier.
Easy enough to avoid however, we all know what bands AT&T uses (and if not easy to find out) so checking if the particular device in question has those bands (again easy enough to find out) before buying is of course the wise move.
On some devices in the past it has been possible to enable other bands but the note 7 is so new I doubt anyone has tried yet.

[Q] Galaxy note 2 international version has LTE!!

Galaxy note to unboxing by technobuffalo!! He says it has LTE!! if you look at the Manuel its in french just like the one we all got from handtec this is great news ares is international but my Google wallet wont work why D:?
Really
Unfortunately he is wrong in that video
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
His phone is the n7100 so it won't have LTE.. He is mistaken in the video.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
But LTE version exists, and its code-name is N7105
Yes, the n7105, but I don't think it has been released yet. :/
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Why should he be wrong? Here in Germany / Switzerland LTE is always included in the tec specs...I´ve ordered mine on cyberport.de...and their devices definitely have LTE included.

on french sites (expansys, ....) they do not talk about LTE :crying:

...EE let slip that it will be ranging the LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 from 15 October, despite speculation that the handset won't support the 1800MHz spectrum.

N7105 Note 2 LTE is not suppported in this forum right?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
not sure what's going on with this actually...
my Note, standard N7100, is registering on the Orange EE network, and has been since i turned it on for the first time...
Haven't run a speedtest on it yet though, though after reading this thread, i'm curious
M

According to the most German reviews and websites LTE is not includes in the current Note 2.
Note 2 LTE model number is N7105. Is N7105, which is Note 2 LTE is supported in this forum? They are two different models. I am afraid if yours have LTE, its not N7100 which means no support from XDA. Can someone confirm my worry? I am from a country where Sammy only launch N7105, not N7100.

I got mine yesterday from an eBay vendor. It has an Arabic instruction manual and an English one. The version shows
Model number GT-N7100
Android version 4.1.1
Baseband version N7100XXALIH
Kernel version 3.0.31-259982, [email protected] #1, SMP PREEMPT Tue Oct 2 02:04:58 KST 2012
Build number JRO03C.N7100XXALJ1
FCC ID: A3LGTN7100
SSN: -N7100GSMH
Despite my tinkering with the APN settings and visiting an AT&T store where I got a micro SIM for free and associating this IMEI with different phone types in AT&Ts database that have LTE, I cannot get LTE to work although I'm in an LTE area.
I do get download speeds up to 7 Mbps which is not bad.
Everything else is great about the GN2 and a considerable step up from the GN1: Google Now, long battery life, Near Field Communication, instant responsiveness due to Android Jelly Bean and the Butter Project (better frame rate synchronization, triple buffering and repeat touch anticipation). The GN2 seems slightly slimmer and taller (hello iPhone 5) and the entire outside, including the bevel and screen edges have a very elegant brushed graphite appearance with a lot of "rounded corners" that luckily lack the odd steps the GN1 had. The back is a new flexible polymer which looks and feels good ("liquid metal"), provides good antenna signals and the ability to swap the battery on the fly (rigid back plates are a design oddity that requires the phone be sent in for service (Apple) or it just fails (Dell Streak)). The stylus is more sensitive to different pressure levels and has learned new tricks some of which border wizardry. In another Apple-leske turn (LED behind seemingly solid aluminum), there is a red and a blue LED that shine through brushed metal at the top indicating battery status.
I'll probably sell it once the AT&T version is officially available because I do want great network speeds and state of the art hardware.
I'm close to pulling the trigger on the note 2 unlocked.. Maybe wait for a 32GB...
Do you think Samsung will make a unlock version with LTE to work on USA ATT?
I have the gt-n7100 and will get the EE LTE variant soon after release on 15 October and will post where the differences are between the two models.
Only the n7105 has lte and not the n7100
I have seen the device in the t mobile store in the uk and i can confirm that the n7105 is lte and the n7100 is only 3g and hspa+ hope this helps

LTE Netherlands

I see at PDAshop.nl and wehkamp and phoneshop.nl that the phones they sell is 4G (LTE)
I see that the Dutch version of the Note 2 is not 4G (LTE) a.k.a normal N7100 and not N7105.
They also cant tell me if this is true or not (Samsung) and when the 32Gb or 64GB comes to the Netherlands.
Does anybody have more information on this?
If it is 4G ill get it straight away.
Greetings.
Mitch
Hi there, i have bought my SGN2 at the phone house and i got the N7100 so i guess we have the international model.
If a company adverts with untrue facts.
Are you in your rights to return the Object?
And does the N7105 work with KPN?

[Q] Note II GT-N7100 - GSM in South Korea?

I'm heading to South Korea shortly and am wondering if there is a local S. Korean GSM chip that I can put into my Note II and get both voice/data service? I recall many years ago that S. Korea was predominantly, if not exclusively, a CDMA network. Anyone with personal experience with this? Worse case I will just rent a phone... although I'd much prefer to use my own.
Thanks!

Though I don't live in US, I don't think you could add phone feature by changing the rom.
I think you would have to have the international version that permits calls. I'm not sure if that will work in the states though because of frequencies etc.

If you're looking at the AT&T branded Note 8, SGH-i467, there's a thread in this forum on getting the phone capability enabled. I don't think anyone has been totally successful doing that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2430527
If VoIP will sufficiently meet your calling needs, you'll be fine with that model. If you don't want to deal with the idiosyncrasies associated with VoIP, get the international version, GT-N5100. The LTE frequencies won't work on AT&T's or T-Mobile's networks so you'll be at HSPA+ speeds, but it is a true 8" smartphone.

I bought one from amazon and it had calling capability. Should be the same for all of them.
The are different variants of the Note 8. Some have phone capability and some do not. The most common variant sold in the US (in Best Buy and big box stores) is WiFi only. The model sold in AT&T stores has LTE, but the phone functionality has been removed. The N5100, available thro some Amazon vendors, its a true smartphone, but only works on AT&T and T-Mobile's HSPA+ network.

I use a note 8 LTE as my phone here in UK and am absolutly loving it....had to change from 3 mobile to O2 as 3 dont allow phone sims in tablets, seems O2 do cos its been working fine for about 3-4 weeks.
Rather than look foolish with a tablet next to my ear I purchased a galaxy gear which is not fully working as I am on stock 4.2.
Got rid of my note 2 and note 10.1 and have just a note 8, best thing I ever did!!!

at&t note 4 in Canada (Telus)

I'm looking to upgrade my phone to the Galaxy note 4. I live in Toronto, Canada and see that there's someone selling an unlocked at&t note 4.
Are there any minuses to buying an AT&T phone and using it in Canada? LTE bands are the same as my carrier (Telus). Will I not get updates or have any other issues?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same phone (N910A) should work fine with Telus ( with Public Mobile = uses Telus/Bell towers).
Only issue with AT & T variant is it isn't rootable if that is what you want later on.
Thanks for the answer, and esp the tip on rooting!
