I'm looking to buy the developer edition from HTC, but i'm worried about the LTE bands since I would be moving between the US and Hong Kong.
Over here I'm using T-mobile, and if IIRC Hong Kong LTE are all 1800 / 2600
Will this version work in both countries?

I am in the same boat as you... I bought the dev edition and i travel between Seattle and HK a lot... As for LTE I guess I wont really care about that since I am just used to 3G anyways. other than that Because the bands for USA and HK for LTE are different you will have to choose between having LTE in one of the countries, you currently cant have both.
BUT if you travel between HK and EURO a lot you would better be off with the HK version since its the same LTE bands.
Just as a note i dont have my phone yet.. I had it shipped to my address in seattle then someone sent it to me here in HK should be here by friday and ill let you know if i have LTE but i highly doubt it haha.
this should help you out a bit http://xda7.androidrevolution.nl/db_mirror/ROMs/HTC_One/variants.png

I'm in the US and want to buy an unlocked, international version of the I-9000, probably from Singapore, probably on AT&T.
Will Samsung release "generic," non-carrier specific ROMS? Or will that be all from the excellent developer community?
I'm hoping it would still do high-speed 3G because it covers some of AT&T's 3G bands???
Thanks!
Eh. You cant get a international version in usa. If you get one from singapore it will be international ver. It will have problems on at&t as they use 850/1900 mhz for 3g while international ver uses 900/2100mhz. Before you buy a device please make sure the 3G radio will work with your telco. If you are in usa then buy one from the telco you will be using as it will be set up right. But for rest of world we can get away with standard international gsm ver

Hi, wondering if anyone has taken it overseas such as tokyo or europe? Does it have the correct frequencies? Can this be unlocked to use international sim?
Asking regarding ATT LTE model.

Europe and Asia mostly uses the 2100MHz band which the 4G LTE does not have so most likely, you won't be able to use it.
Sent from my GT-P7300
According to their website specs... 2100 mhz is supported. Dont care about 4g speeds. Only hspda or 3g is fine overseas... It also says international supported, but not sure about if its sim locked.

The 2100 band is for LTE not for UTMS where the rest of the world is still kinda in. The LTE version surely does not work in South East Asia, Hong Kong or Macau, I brought one with me on my trip 2 weeks ago.

I c i c. Thanks. I guess skyrocket cant work as well in asia then.... Since they are based on the same chip. For your tablet... Did you unlock it and didnt even pick up the signal?
Was thinking about free skyrocket plus 8.9 tablet...
Ehcan, did it work with 3g freq in asia though? I know no lte.. But want to know if it works with the att 8.9 unlocked.
As the title suggests, my parents are currently in Hong Kong and will be returning in a few days. I was wondering if anyone in Canada has managed to test the phone out on the Rogers network? If you are in Toronto, have you been able to receive LTE? I have checked on Wikipedia the bands for Rogers Canada and for a mobile company in HK that share the same 2600mhz frequency in hopes that it may work. Any opinions/answers will be much appreciated!
To make sure you get a perfect answer on network compatibility you may be best asking at a Samsung store or a phone store as they will know 100%

Yes, I can confirm it will as I am on Rogers, and have one of these wonderful devices..
I just wish there was Cyanogen or The Collective for this phone
The Galaxy S3 dual core LTE that Rogers currently lists on their website uses the 1700/2100 bands for LTE, it is the SGH-I747 model. The i9305 is listed as 800/1800/2600 for LTE, which are completely different.
Also notice the i9305 is missing 1900 MHz 3G frequency. Rogers 3G operates on 850/1900 for 3G, so you may not have full 3G coverage in places as well.
I don't think the guy above me saying LTE works for him actually has the same device you're asking about. Just from looking at the frequency bands, there is no way LTE will work on Rogers. If you want a quad core LTE Galaxy S3 that works on Rogers, you will have to wait. The Galaxy S4 is going to be announced in the spring as well, so you might want to wait anyway.
Hi there
I want to buy the HTC ONE "again", but the problem is that I'm not sure which one.
After some research, I've found that there are several different versions of the HTC ONE:
HTC 801n ONE, ONE HTC 801e, 801a ONE HTC, HTC ONE 801W ...
Well why "again"?
Thing is that I had one until recently, the 801n, i got through a contract renewal in Switzerland, and I was very very happy with it!
But the trouble started when I went on a trip again. I travel a lot between Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, and the US, and due prolonged
stays in these countries, I have a simcard in each country, as well as prepaid and contract, each with internet access (3G and 4G).
Now in Mexico I noticed that my brand new HTC ONE 801n, was not compatible with the frequencies used here (3G, 850Mhz with Telcel Mexico), which made it useless as a smartphone. Therefore I sold it. But I loved this phone, so I am going to buy me a new HTC One!
Question is, which HTC ONE is the right for me?? Also I read everywhere on the internet about an "international" HTC one, an "international version"??
Is this one of the above versions I mentioned? "International," does it mean that it will work with all the frequencies in all the countries I travel to? With at least 3G Internet can use, perhaps even with 4G? And where do they sell it? And how can I identify it?
Thanks for your help

Not really, because already sold mine europe htc one, and looking for a new international one, which I can use in in europe and in the US, without hacking or flashing it.
And as noob in the smartphone area, i wouldnt be able to do it,even right now i am having problems to understand what they are talking about in the other thread
International version means it isn't locked to any specific carrier yoy basically any sim from any country should work. You should check that the network frequencies that the phone can handle are compatible with the country that you're visiting but a quick check of the phone specs will tell you that.

You just need to look at the table in the first post
First, find out what 3G/4G frequencies are available with what carriers in each country you travel to. Then you can pick a model that will provide the most coverage. Just going off the 850MHz 3G requirement, you have a few variants to choose from.

US and in Mexico , 3G 850 MHz , and one thing i read was that if the 850 MHZ are not supported by the phone, it seems that it doesnt matter that all other frecuencies avaible in the coutry are supported, the phone wont work with 3G, no matter what. is that right.
No beeing right now most of the time in Mexico for the rest of the year, thinking to buy the HTC One in the US HTC online shop, the unlocked version, 600 USD,
and it says
This HTC One® unlocked version comes with: 32GB of onboard memory and is SIM unlocked.
- HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz
- GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
- LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)
Now, at Telcel Mexico , they told, if I buy a phone in the US, it has to be an ATnT compatible phone, and it will work without a problem in Mexico,same frecuencies as AtnT.
Are those the frecuencies used by AtNT??
If the only 3G frequency your carrier supports is 850Mhz, then it doesn't matter what other frequencies the phone is capable of.
Look at the table in the HTC One variants thread, and compare the frequencies of that phone with what is listed for AT&T. And more importantly, what Telcel Mexico support.
What about 4G and Europe, are they high or low priority? The Asian variant supports 850Mhz 3G and has a good overlap with the European 3G and 4G frequencies, but not the US 4G frequencies. What do you consider more important?
Hello, everyone!
I was wondering if there's a version of the HTC One which works on a 3G network using the 900 band.
According to this, the only versions that work on a 900 band are the European and Asian versions, but I can't find them anywhere on Amazon or Ebay. Where can I get these? (hopefully from a trustworthy source)
Also, and this is just an extra, not a necessity, is there a version that accepts microSD cards for extra storage?
I'm guessing you only looked on Amazon and eBay US? Have you even tried Amazon UK, DE etc? Cos I just added one to my cart from Amazon UK, yes they ship internationally.
you want he M7U variant. that lacks LTE support but does 900mhz HSPA.
Here's one on german ebay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/HTC-One-32-G...51174162327?pt=DE_Handy_s&hash=item2332aea797
Any USA based sites are likely to be selling the M7UL which does LTE but only has 850/1900/2100 HSPA support.
That wiki page doesn't look right. Here's a better reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223236
HTC One variants [U/UL/WL]
The European and Asian phones are UL and will have LTE support.
Thanks for the info.
I would also like LTE support, so thank you deevan for clearing that up as well. That thread's info could be added to the wiki.
I can't post links, but I take it the first HTC One I see when I search for it in Amazon UK should do the trick, then, yes?
Thanks again! I'd give you all cookies if I could. :victory:
Bear in mind that there's even more LTE bands than 3G bands. You might want to check the 4G frequencies of your carrier to confirm support.
I think Amazon UK lists the phone as HTC One UK sim free, meaning its for the UK and it's outright not on contract.
