Any news on tri-band UMTS Diamond?

I am dreaming of getting the one which supports UMTS 850/1900/2100 bands.
Any news?

Nobody know it? So sad...

There is no such thing as a tri-band UMTS Diamond, all are just dual band. 850/1900 for the US Version, 850/2100 for the Australia version, and 900/2100 for the European version.

I thought I read somewhere that there is an Australian version of the Touch Diamond 120 (100 for Europe/Asia, 110 for NAM) that supports dual-band UMTS 850/2100, which should let 3G work on any continent. If someone actually has this model or can confirm, that would be great.
EDIT: Whoops, guess the guy above me posted a little faster Anyone know if an online retailer has the AUS model on sale?

Well it wouldn't work in any place that requires 900, it also wouldn't work on AT&T in certain 1900-only 3G zones. I don't know what market uses what frequency for AT&T, so I really couldn't tell you if your area will work with the 850/2100 Diamond or not.

Go to ebay.com.au and search... 650 AUD = 544 USD, for perspective
I'm assuming that's the Australian version... But PM every seller before buying to confirm

in my diam100 with italian official rom I have this:
is it normal?

Yessuh, all Diamonds have it, but it doesn't work. It doesn't reflect the hardware in the device at all, standard to all devices.

Does the diamond support US 3g?

Hi,
I'm really in the dark about these things, but I'm about to purchase an unlocked diamond.
Will it support the ATT 3g band?

believe it support att as the iphone works in the rest of the world too with 3g
so att must be using the same bands as the rest of the world

If you purchased a European version then no, you wont get ATT 3g.
If you purchased a US version then yes, it does. Make sure to check the spec sheet when you buy and see if the band 850mhz/1900mhz is listed under 3G.

Yes, 850 and 1900 mhz are supported.
That is the answer I was looking for.
Is there a definitive way to tell if the phone is a US version or a European version based on the IMEI or anything on that info sticker in the battery compartment>?

Why not get a Sprint Diamond?

My university subsidizes the ATT plans...

The least expensive as I found, with "USA Version" clearly marked:

This Webpage is Wrong! This link shows a P3700 & states that it operates on UMTS 850 & 1900. PDADB.net states that the P3700 {AKA DIAM100} operates @ UMTS 900 & 2100. The US version is the DIAM110 & operates on the 850 & 1900 UMTS bands. check the comparisons:

[Q] Enabling all of I9000 quad WCDMA bands

Hi fellas,
I was wondering if enabling all WCDMA bands 850, 900, 1900, and 2100 of our i9000 phones would produce any bad effects or would deteriorate our phones or its parts?
I tried to enabled them in *#2263# and they seem to be persistent so i believe they are active. It was initially set as 900/1900/2100.
Looking forward for replies

if you bought i9000T it's supposed to work with 850 what the others can't, that's from what I know..

I'm just not sure if it is really functioning or how to verify if the phone is really using the 850 or 900 wcdma band, or both (together with 2100 and 1900). AFAIK, wcdma's requirement is that at least 2100 is enabled, paired with another supporting band either 1900, 900, or 850. (tho just 2100 solo will also work but not as best if without another band to use)
I'm also wondering, if the original i9000 can support quad GSM and quad WCDMA, why is it that it is only set as tri-WCDMA only?
I guess my only concern is that if the phone's antenna system will be damaged if i enable quad band WCDMA (if it is really using it)

Folks,
If you have checked with the Service manual and Schematics, some variants of Samsung Galaxy S lack the required PAM for the UMTS Band VIII (900) operation physically, while some lack the required PAM for the UMTS Band V (850) operation. Sure, we can flash it with the corresponding modem.bin, toggle "WCDMA 900 (FDD VIII)" and/or "WCDMA 850 (FDD V)" with our targeted Galaxy S variants in the Band Selection menu but it does not mean they will actually work in the "Quad-band WCDMA" as we would like.
Try to hook one up with a set of signal isolation box, signal generator and analyzer (R&S, Agilent, etc.), then you will find out our Galaxy S is capable of "Quad-band WCDMA" or not for sure. DO NOT get confused with the "Quad-band GSM"... "If it can do quad-band in 2G, then why not in 3G?" BECAUSE the it is handled by another set of PAM and FEM.
Nevertheless, most of us are doing fine in the EURO/RoW regions where most 3G networks are deployed in the UMTS Band I (2100). Unless we are heading to the rural or specific areas where only has got the 3G service in the UMTS Band VIII (900) only (AND we apparently must use the 3G service at the same time).

thanks howipig, very nice answer

Project1.exe,
No problem but I wish someone out there can make our dream come true by adding the right PAM and SAW filters for the "extra" 3G band support

i'm thinking if it would be possible to extract files from, say, a Rogers (Canada) SGS for the 850, and combine them with euro for 900. I'm actually using XWJV1 (leaked gingerbread) and I got excited cause I see both options.

Project1.exe,
Like I have mentioned before, the software is just part of the puzzle. We can toggle all 3G bands showing in the Band Selection menu. In fact, I have played with a modified Galaxy Tab that even has UMTS Band IV (AWS) selected too! But in reality, it never works on the AWS band. The PHYSICAL hardware is the key. Without the right components, we are not going to make it happen.

International Note 5?

Where can I buy a international note 5 for germany?
Thanks

seems its available in singapore, anyknows where it can be bought online

Yes, it is available in Singapore... I bought mine in a samsung-shop on saturday. Not sure about online ordering.
Maybe you can try here...
http://www.expansys.com.sg/mobile-phones/brand/samsung/

check ur PM

Does anyone know which Version Supports german language and celluar bands?

Hey, I have not looked at asian note 5 yet, I will do so soon.
For Europe, you need gsm and lte 3, 7, and 20 (1800, 2600, 800 MHz) [no26-800MHz # no20-800MHz! ...]
To use US phones for Europe, this is what i have come up with.
http://imgur.com/1yPhyFQ
I based that on what I found for SM-N920 A/V/P (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint), German/UK LTE network requirements, and the Galaxy S6 (SM-G920 A/V/P/F, F=Europe/Int). I guess the Note 5 is pretty much a S6 with larger screen and pen, so network capabilities should not differ too much between the S6 and the Note 5, hopefully.
I will get a AT&T device soon, hopefully only bootloader unlocked and just KNOX (don't care too much about warranty for US phone since I import it...). AT&T should work for most of Europe, or respectively for LTE 3, 7, and 20....
I see what I can find for the Asian Note 5 ('s) and msg back
EDIT:
Haven't found much info on the SM-N920S / SM-N920K (Korea, Asia?), but based on the SM-G920S/K or Galaxy S6, versus the SM-G920F Europe, there are some minor differences, but I think these should work just fine in Europe as well... http://www.mobosdata.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-sm-g920f (k, s).
g/l

Ill also need to import one, since it wont come here to brazil...needs to be lte band 7...id like to buy it today if possible...

How you can use a Galaxy Note 5 from U.S in Europe? is the region block...

the at&t one, unlock via website, not straight forward potentially, but seems possible espc as non-customer - https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/
but what bothers me is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/verizon-att-samsung-note-5-knox-root-t3183641 - i guess will hold off the note 5 at&t for now, same with verizon, and sprint might not have full lte capabilities.
i might get the surface phone lol (if i can get full access to registry and group policies and have some way of turning all the phoning home off)...

Man, why you speack about Note with carriers?
On eBay there are a lot model FACTORY UNLOCKED, are they good? they have the region block if i buy them and i use in Italy?

I have the singapore one.
And it works just fine here in the netherlands.
At my home I don't have 4G.
Outside there is no problem.
I think the singapore one misses the 800 band.
4G is working only in the big cities here for now with this note 5.
Later this year the phone company release another bands.

800Mhz is to 1800 and 2600MHz LTE - loosely compared - as 5GHz Wifi is to 2.4GHz -- higher transfer speeds at the higher frequencies but shorter range and less signal through obstancles, generally speaking.
Would explain why inside you would not get a great LTE signal, if the 800MHz band is missing.... imho

You are right.
But the seller told me the 800 is there.
And now I know there is not a 800.
But here in the netherlands the provider also uses the 1800,but only in the big cities.
That's why the phone picks up 4G when I am outside.

yh, most european countries use all 800, 1800, and 2600, depending on region/area/whatnot...
just saying, without 800 capability, and when you happen to have 800 mast outside your area, you might not get signal, especially inside... ofc you can still have lte via 1800 and 2600, provided you are close enough and have a mast nearby, more likely in the cities (lots of data over short ranges)

Still I am happy with the note 5.

I am not saying anything about that
Apart from the obvious things everyone knows about vs the Note 4, it's a great looking piece of kit!
Also, Seller MIGHT have said 800 is there, as in 800MHz B26, but what you'd need in Europe is 800MHz-B20...

I saw it on ebay.
It's 800 B26.
My mistake.
I don't bother.

I read about Samsung region block and we can't put a different SIM respect the SIM of the contry model. Don't you have problem?

Does anyone have an SM-N920I?
It probably has more / less bands than you think. What's posted online doesn't actually reflect much about the actual phone. Does anyone have an SM-N920I?
In your dialer could you please type *#2263# and naivate to Band Selection. Post here what's in WCDMA and LTE.
On the S6 SM-G920I:
WCDMA: 2100, 900, 1700, 850, 1900
LTE: 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,18,19,20,25,26,28,29,40

on my N920I I have the following:
WCDMA: 2100, 900, 850, 1900
LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 38, 39, 40, 41
Let me know if you want something else too.
I bought this device to use on AT&T in the USA. So far it is working perfectly.

What's the FCC ID of the international version (T815N)?

Can someone please provide the device FCC ID of the international version (i.e., for the model which begins with SM-T815N...)? Should be written on the box and/or the device.
I am trying to confirm which bands are supported by the T-815N model in the US by looking up the equipment filings with the FCC.
In the past Samsung has been known to make mistakes with respect band support this on their website. (There could be no mistakes in the FCC filings as each band is tested independently.)
Thanks!

There are many versions available.
SM-T715C/T815C
2G GSM- GSM850,GSM900,DCS1800,PCS1900
3G WCDMA - B1(2100),B2(1900),B5(850),B8(900)
3G TD-SCDMA - B34(2010),B39(1880)

I already know all this and yes, I know there are many versions. Like I mentioned in my original posting I am looking specifically for the FCC ID for the SM-T815Nxxxxx model, which is the most common international variant of the Tab S2.
