Not sure if this deserves to be here but I have rang a few different google people and they have confirmed the unlocked version does support 42mbps (DC-HSPA) if your carrier has it . Thought I'd let people know.

what the .... you're right. I could have sworn the Play Store said "HSPA+ 21" in the tech specs earlier today, but now it says "HSPA+ 42". Maybe I'm just going nuts. Not the first time

Very true but remember in order to get the T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling app to work it would need a different radio/kernel so updates wouldn’t get pushed out as fast as on other devices …
Unless T-Mobile its not planning on supporting it…
T-Mobile is the only carrier with 42mbps+, right?
AT&T is only 21mbps+?

OK, guys, stop calling it "unlocked version". There is no "locked" version. The version of the phone sold by T-Mobile is literally the exact same version that is sold on the Google Play store, no distinction whatsoever. There will be no custom modem or wifi calling apps on their version.

Why? It is unlocked. It is a very important distinction considering it is a pentaband phone. There have been locked GSM Nexus devices in the past btw.

Can we expect HSPA+42 on Rogers in Canada or will we only get 21. I know Telus and Bell can both do HSPA+42. If not, I may have to switch to Telus or Bell...
For those in Canada, as far as I know Bell, Telus and Sasktel have some 42 mbps DC-HSPA coverage while Rogers, Wind and Mobilicity only have 21 mbps.
Here is Bell's coverage map. The light blue areas have 21 mbps while the darker areas have 42 mbps. Telus' coverage map should be indentical since they share the network.

Can you tell me (or better yet show me) what the Sprint HTC One compares to lets say a Sprint GS3 or other Sprint LTE device with regards to LTE reception. Really what I would like to see is the RSRP (dBm) values of each device sitting side by side. I myself have an HTC EVO LTE and love the (almost) all metal construction that HTC did with the phone. The one thing I do not like however, is the LTE performance. 3G is great and on par with other devices, but I want to make sure HTC fixed this in the HTC one before I buy it.
Thanks in advance!

Wow, they actually put earbuds in with this phone. I haven't gotten a pair of earbuds with a new phone from Sprint since my Touch Pro (Maybe the Touch Pro2).
I was actually wondering how it works with roaming. Is it possible you can force it to roam for a moment? Or is that a root only function (been on a rooted phone too long). I don't expect LTE to roam, but I also don't recall seeing any info about a 2g/1x radio onboard. There's a little get-away I go to often in the summer that has no Sprint coverage and hoping I'm not bringing a paperweight every time I go.
Is the phone unlocked? It has a slot for a microsim, correct?

Maybe as a follow up to this question, we believe it has a MicroSIM slot (please let us know if it does not). Have you attempted to use an AT&T micro SIM in it as well? An international microSIM such as 3, Vodafone, etc?

And yes it is the only sprint phone with replaceable micro sim. But it is carrier locked. Att, ST, and tmo sim = no go. I am a sprint rep and not even my point of contacts new anything yet about unlocking

I'm sure it won't be far from now when it gets a carrier unlock. I know it's probably that way because of the law, but when they pass the new bill, it'll be allowed.
Although no force roaming, do you know if it's 3g roaming, 1x roaming, or neither?

Can you try the following dialer codes to see if they work?
##DEBUG# (##33284#)
##DATA# (##3282#)
*#*#INFO#*#* (*#*#4636#*#*)
If DEBUG works, can you see if there is an “LTE Engineering” menu to view the RSRP/RSRQ values? These values are also in the “Phone information” menu if the INFO code works.
If the INFO code does not work, would you mind downloading the following app?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network
Basically, it’s a shortcut to the “Phone information” menu that you would find through INFO, but if they killed the dialer code, this might be the only way to access it (assuming the menu itself is still there).
I’m sorry, I know this is kind of a lot, but a lot of people are going to be eager to find out if they can use this phone for field testing to see if it’s a better RF performer than the EVO LTE. Thanks in advance!
Adrian, can you enlighten us as to the storage space? Under Settings/Storage. Some of us are wanting to know how much User Accessible space is available to store music, movies, photos, etc.
First post, noob post, searched the forum found things that are similar to my question but not a definite answer.
I just got my hands on an HTC ONE 64GB Developer Edition from the US and the 4G LTE frequency on it is 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz
And where I currently live the 4G LTE connectivity is 800/1800/2600 MHz.
I did some reading and found out that my device is considered as HTC ONE M7UL
And the UL falls within the 801s category and in turn that supports my 4G LTE category.
Added to that it has the same modem of MDM9125.
Taking that into consideration, is it possible to do whatever to make my phone's frequency compatible with my service provider. As for my understanding the frequencies in the device have been blocked for the US market, can I do something to make it work?
I have never flashed, rooted or did anything to an Android phone because I am completely lost and this is my first Android device coming from an iPhone.
So, your help will be much appreciated into guiding me with the correct information to help me out.

I haven't seen any posts that have tried flashing radios to change the bands supported. I'm still sceptical that it could work.
Plus, I think you read the table wrong, and I know of at least one error in that table.

If only I don't have an HTC One I'm willing to get that. I too have those LTE frequencies but I'm willing to sacrifice LTE for an additional storage. But too late already have a 32gb EU version which has matching 4g frequencies for your network but meh! Only 32gb storage.

I just put an order for a Black HTC One 64GB with matching LTE frequencies. It covers 1800/2600MHz which is where I live; Bahrain is under the 1800 range.
I can never downgrade from a 64GB haha.. My ONE X+ was FULL.. 32GB would drive me crazy haha!!
Now, I think I'll hang around this form to do some flashing business, sounds like fun haha!!!
Anyway, our LTE network isn't that great because they just started up a few months back and the reception is rather poor but it spikes up to 60mbps!

I'm pretty sure it is possible because it's a UL device and shares all the same features that the US/Canada/Asia/Middle East/Australia/Europe have got... So, that shouldn't be an issue.. It's a tiny little thing inside the system that needs to be smacked with a nice flash.
Hopefully, someone comes up with this ASAP and makes life much more easier to buy a device from anywhere in the world and not get screwed like me!!:good:

There was a post that showed pictures of a couple of different variants of the One. They had a different support chip that worked with the generic radio chip. So there is a possibility that hardware may keep the variants from cross flashing. We just don't know. It is also possible that it is simply software flashing somewhere in the various partitions.
If we get a US T-Mobile RRU and it gets to be flashed over a different model, then we will know.

Knowing that AT&T locks their bootloaders (bastards), I'd like to get a version with an unlocked bootloader that I can mod, swap ROMs, etc.
I've found lots of 32gb versions, but I can't find many 64gb versions out there except those that are ~$1200 and I just can't spend that.
Wondering how others are solving this and getting their hands on one that's AT&T LTE friendly...
Thanks!
edit: also, if you knew a model #, that would be helpful as I'm a bit confused on all the variations.

T-Mobile (N920T) is probably the best, simplest choice. you can sign up for new service, purchase at full price, root it, get it sim unlocked using a root method (search xda) or hassle with T-Mobile and then cancel once you have it SIM unlocked. N920I also works but it's an international model. i'm using the N920T and the dual-sim N9208 on att and both work flawlessly. search-xda is your friend, you'll find all the answers you're looking for. good luck

I bought an N920T for use on at&t. here is a lengthy discussion about the potential drawbacks to the missing bands when using a tmo on att. TL/DR; on that one is that you might not get service in the boonies using a tmo on att; i haven't ever had a problem with my tmo note 4 in over a year on att.
here is a guy that can provide free SIM unlock (he's fixing to do mine in about 2 hours. many have reported success with him.) in fact i bought a tmo phone under the premise he'd be able to help me, as TMO will make a big fuss about helping you.

thanks for quoting me; i had lost this thread, and there are updates:
there was nothing wrong with the process @stifilz used to unlock the phone. the problem was that my IMEI wasn't recognized by AT&T, so they wouldn't send me LTE service. but i got that straight.
it appears i use primarily bands 4 and 5 here.
ooo so band 17.. you are speaking about an AT&T phone huh?? that's not as good, as there is some debate as to whether or not a TMOBILE phone will receive at&t's band 17 correctly. i think i already linked that thread previously, so you might re-read that to see if it'll provide an issue for you.
cheapest, tho not the easiest, way for you to figure out if you'll have problems is to find a person using an unlocked TMO phone and put your sim card in it, and then see if it gets LTE (particularly band 17)

Good to hear. AT&T made that same mistake with my OPO. Always a chuckle when you know more than the service reps.
Yeah, I've been checking LTE discovery anytime I go anywhere different in DC and it's always band 17 which the TMO version doesn't have. There is band 4 here, but it's considerably less frequent and a much weaker signal. So, that likely means that I'll get spotty LTE service most of the time and have extra battery suck as it works to switch between LTE and 3G. Not sure it's worth it since I'm pretty constantly on the move...

Well there's a guy in a thread iposted about earlier in the Q&A section that spoke up to say his tmobile note 5 does connect to 17 all the time, I'm waiting on his response as to whether that's AT&T band 17 or t-mobile band 17. ( I don't know if there is a difference or if it makes a difference)
Might still be a go

I think that's gotta be a mistake. According to TMO's site, it doesn't have LTE 17 and they're standard frequencies.
But, the question for me will be how strong LTE4 is. It might be enough. I'm trying to figure out how to disable 17 on my OPO for testing...

I can confirm that I have a tmobile branded unit that attaches to band 17. It isn't as frequently as on my note 4, I'm generally on band 2. With that said I've had virtually no trouble with service. I was initially worried about the b17 issue, but it hasn't seemed to make any difference.

Does it attach to band 17 on AT&T or t-mobile?

Interesting, but I'm not sure I'm buying it - take a look at TMO's spec sheet - http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/samsung-galaxy-note5.html
Doesn't list Band 17.
I think I'll need some corroboration on that...

I posted at him as well, but didn't think about a screenshot. Good idea.
Hello Im pretty new with samsung devices. I like my device to be rooted so i bought the SM-N960D/Dual Sim Exynos (BRI,BRI,BRI,BRI)
I Noticed that my wides T mobile US snapdragon Note 9 signal is fantastic and also she gets LTE but with mine I don't get LTE and my signal is bad..
So it looks like the N960D is missing a bunch of bands that T-Mobile uses for LTE. It has bands 2 and 4 for sure, but it may or may not have band 12 (conflicting google info), and doesn't have band 66 or 71. This is the cause of your signal woes, and can't be fixed. It either has the bands, or it doesn't.

Based on most of the stuff I see online, the N960F / D does indeed have band 66 and 71.
I'm going by the info I found here:
https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-sm-n960-model-number-differences/
http://phonedb.net/index.php?m=devi...e_9_td-lte_jp_sc-01l__sgh-n058__samsung_crown (which lists it as a snapdragon, so **** this site)
I also tried looking it up at the Samsung.cn and Samsung.jp sites, but not knowing where the phone originated from, I can't get an accurate idea of what it has or doesn't have.

So this is the info I was able to find on the SM-n960F/DS:

https://www.samsung.com/ae/smartphones/galaxy-note9/specs/
https://www.wondamobile.com/samsung...-unlocked.html#product_tabs_additional_tabbed
So 2, 4 and 12, MAYBE 66, no 71? Yeah, 66 is huge for T-Mobile now. 71 is going to be a big deal towards the end of this year.

Since you say you like to be rooted, I'm guessing you've been rooted in the past? Do you miss anything major while rooted? What are the alternatives to secure folder and samsung features? How about banking apps and work e-mail, considering they use device management. Have you faced an issues with that?
I think you quoted the wrong person. Personally, since AdHell/SABS came out, I've lost all desire to root. Ad blocking and stock Android was my only motivation, but right now I'm digging the Samsung Experience UI.

That's inaccurate.
Frequency check is usually accurate,but,they got it wrong,or,just haven't got around to entering the correct information in this instance.
Check the Samsung sites in the countries that are known to sell/use the Exynos models & you'll get an accurate listing of 2G/3G/4G LTE Bands on-board.
Another site that's usually accurate is PhoneDb:
