Which phone should I bring to Europe for 8 months? Sprint HTC One sim unlocked or Nexus 4? The countries that I'm going to have the exact same bands being used by the HTC One(GSM 900/1800 and WCDMA 2100), however I'm afraid I might run into permanent issues after reading through the main sim unlock thread.
You can also get a Global GSM HTC One and its Quad band so it can work in any part of the world where there is a GSM network.

I already have the Sprint version HTC One. Buying the official gsm version is out of my price range.

Are there any unlocked international Note 3's that will work with AT&T's LTE network? What model? Been looking at them all and not 100% sure.
The international versions don't support LTE on ATT. You can check the bands if you want proof.

Hopefully there are some people out there who can modify the NV Params found in a QCN file. The hardware is the same just waiting on AT&T, Rogers, Bell and Wind people to dump their QCN files (its really easy!)
I honestly don't think they will have an international note 3 working on at&t lte, would be cool but the band's aren't there

Thanks for confirming that everyone

Think again, the hardware is there its just a software restriction. S4 got it, Note II got it also. Note III just waiting.
You guys should post your QCN files here so I can examine one and compare to mine.

Has anyone sorted this out yet? is there a modem flash to enable at&t lte bands on the sm-9005?
I want to purchase a unlocked Galaxy note 3, which version should I purchase that supports AT&T LTE and has Snapdragon processor?
Will this one work? http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...&qid=1387909957&sr=8-4&keywords=Galaxy+Note+3
That will work but you wont have LTE connection on ATT. The only variant that will give you LTE besides the ATT version is the Tmobile version SM-N900T

What is the model number of the AT&T S5? And what is the international version number? Does anyone know the difference? (example : the s4 is a SGH-i337 and the International is GT-I9505) they had the same hardware. Is this true in the s5 too?
Basically I want an unlocked version but the same hardware as the AT&T.

It will NOT get AT&T LTE unless you buy the T-Mobile version. Just FYI.
Hmm OK so a Tmobile and then Sim unlock it huh? Not afraid of doing it, just want to make sure. I bought a GT-I9305 and found out the same thing, had to sell it and get a GT-I9300. The S4 ATT just happens to be the same as the GT-I9505 but has locked bootloader. Looking to buy out if contract for the S5.

Yes. They will probably charge you more than the $660 on their site. Be prepared to pay over $700.
Cool thanks, that's about what I paid for the GT-I9300 at that time.

I bought a T-Mobile phone for $660 in a company store and bought an unlock code online, took 30 minutes to get it. Works like a charm on AT&T. Rooting and installing a custom recovery takes a couple of minutes, and all the international ROMs I've tried so far work fine.

When I purchased the T-Mobile Note 3 and used it on AT&T, I found my LTE signal to be extremely weak. It would often switch down to H+ when AT&T branded devices would maintain a solid signal.
While the G900T (T-Mo version) supports band 17 for LTE, it is not optimized for this frequency. Performance will be better on the AT&T variant.
So, are they all G900's? It's just the T, or F, or A etc. afterwards that distinguishes it?

Did you have to buy the new special Sim card? Also if you wouldn't mind, can you PM me the site you got the unlock code from?

No, I'm using the same SIM card I used in my S4. I forgot the name of the site, it was cellf something.
Well, as it has been with just about every phone prior to and since S2, ATT/TMO/etc US carrier put that crappy LTE supporting chipset instead of the glorious international guts. So IMO, if you're gonna pay full ~700, you might as well get the unadulterated phone off the bat.
International has 2x quad core cpus, our stateside retards all have same old single quad snapdragons.

So far I've had really good LTE signals. Seems at least as good if not better than my AT&T S4.

Yes but what model is that? That was my whole point in this thread. What international model is most similar to the ATT? (like I said before, the S4 GT-I9505 is the international version of S4 SGH-i337)

Now I just need to find the right international one to match the AT&T

SM-G900H is the only true model. All others ones are potentially/definitely crippled just like ATT one from what I gather via GSMArena.
9505 was the crappier version of the S4, vs the true 9500.

So? Better hardware and overall performance vs a bit faster Facebook on the go?
Well I just like to match the hardware closer to what I would get here at the store, but just get it unlocked. I have the AT&T S2, the international S3 GT-I9300, the AT&T S4, and now looking to get the international S5. I buy in contract when my upgrade is available, then the international in between.

Don't care really about how Fb loads or not. I like to have the options whether they work or not, thus case being LTE

Shouldn't really be much debate on the international version vs at&t's model. Only thing you would loose is LTE. The international model is fully compatible with AT&T's HSPA+ network. No one seems to give that a thought anymore. Fact is - it performs the best it ever has. Very easy to achieve 9-10mbps down, which is more than efficient for anything.
Have the LTE bands for the upcoming Verizon model been confirmed yet? I'm assuming it'll be an unlocked works phone like all others Verizon sells, but hoping Band 4 is present so I could potentially switch to T-Mobile later on.
