Using LTE Band 3 (1800 Mhz)

I am relocating to Dubai for work next month, where they have 2 main cell providers that both provide LTE on Band 3 / 1800 Mhz.
I have an unlocked T-Mobile Note 4 and want to know there is anything I must do in order to get the phone working 100% with LTE on the cell network in Dubai.
Samsung's website say that these are the supported bands of the SM-N910T:
NETWORK
Frequencies and Data Type
2G GSM : GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900
3G UMTS(WCDMA) : B1(2100), B2(1900), B4(AWS), B5(850)
4G LTE FDD : B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B12(700), B17(700)
So, if I throw in my Etisalat SIM card when I get to Dubai, should I get calls, text & LTE working at full-speed?
Seems like the answer should be yes, but I'm a bit skeptical, since the Galaxy S5 supposedly supports all of the same LTE bands , then I come across this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
Any input is appreciated as I will be relying heavily on my phone & need it function correctly as soon as I get there

You may need to have them set your apn at the store to get it working at first!

N920i LTE Band 20?

Hello Guys, can i enable the LTE Band 20 on Deive N920i or can i flash the Firmware from N920C over the N920i´?

No

I was looking at the unlocked version as well. Which carrier/countries use band 20?

Vodafone use this band for lte in germany

I think US phones have band 20, t-mobile?

Where can you buy the unlocked variant?

I did what research I could on this phone before I bought it (the phone is supposed to arrive this week) so that I would know if it would work on my carrier. From the many sites I found using the search term "SM-N920I specifications" all the sites I looked at had the same specs including the following;
GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850 (B5), UMTS900 (B8), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1), LTE2100 (B1), LTE700 (B17), LTE850 (B5), LTE1700/2100 (B4), LTE1800 (B3), LTE2600 (B7), LTE1900 (B2), LTE900 (B8), LTE700 (B12), LTE800 (B26), LTE800 (B19), LTE700 (B28)

this Droid Life article lists a few US LTE Bands and this gsminsider article suggests that the model with FCCID- A3LSMN920I has been certified and is compatible with a few LTE bands. will be interested to know if the model you're getting works on AT&T or T-Mobile's network.

It is supposed to be here by Friday and with that cost I hope it works out of the box on AT&T. I had to do a lot of reading and a lot of work to get my Note 4 H model to get LTE on their LTE network.

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

I responded to your other thread, but I'll paste the info here for anyone searching in the future:
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.

thanks for the info... are you getting LTE speeds similar to what you (may) have gotten on your other devices? i may consider this option vs. T-Mobile version if i can't get my device "permanently" sim unlocked.

I am getting almost the exact same speeds I was getting with an unlocked Nexus 6. (~25mbps down and 5mbps up) Same APN.

Wow so wait wait if i get this phone in UK on Three network that has LTE Band 20 800mhz, will this work?

N920i is listed as having band 19 and the 26 ?

Can we get a screen shot of your N920i displaying all those bands

How can i know if they actually working on not just showing up in the menu? I am on AT&T so all the LTE bands LTE used are working when selected (band 2, 5, 17 and even 12).

You can use the service mode to force a specific band.

Also, it will probably will come with cellular operator logo on the back and on start and garbage bloatware in the phone.

It's a Korean user. Please un-limit the ims so that volte can be used. I beg you T.T

I am a Korean user.
I just bought a zte Axon m (at&t Unlock version) on eBay.
Telecommunications companies are using LG Uplus in Korea.
In at&t version, the only available frequency band on LG Uplus is 'LTE850 (B5)'.
This is a one-half-page machine with data communication only and no call and no text message because the IMS input was blocked during APN setup.
(Uplus only supports 'LTE850(B5)' in AT&T version, so call and text are only possible if the APN setting is set to Volte. If the AT&T version does not change the APN setting to IMS.)
If I had bought a CN (Chinese model) for more money, I would have been able to use all the telecommunications companies in Korea, but I think I made the wrong choice. ($180 for AT&T and $380 for CN)
Can you tell me how to disable AT&T version Axon M Blocked IMS APN Setting?

Where can I find battery life test results between a Verizon CDMA phone and GSM only?

Where can I find battery life test results between a Verizon CDMA phone and GSM only? I read both ways lots of places for different reasons.
The reason I ask is I'm on Verizon, and plan to spend a lot of time in Colombia, South America where they use GSM only. If there is no real difference, then the Verizon phone covers more and better GSM LTE bands than the AT&T model. If the AT&T phone has substantial battery life advantage, I'll either switch, or see if Verizon has approved the AT&T model for their network yet.
Phones that technologically work on Verizon's network are not allowed to be activated unless they have been tested. If you know any place where I can check by model number instead of signing up and submitting and IMEI, let me know.
Thanks!
