Is T-MOBILE's NOTE 4 4G/LTE, compatible with EUROPE's 1800MHZ frequency?

Hi Guys
I'm from Macedonia,Europe and I have a chance to buy tomorrow cheaper NOTE4 from T-MOBILE or VERIZON.Since VERIZON uses CDMA frequencies,can you help me by clearing things up:
Is T-Mobiles NOTE 4 compatible with my carriers frequencies here in Europe? I think that it is GSM and that the voice calls will not be problem,but is 4G/LTE compatible here?
My carrier is ONE and they told me that their 4G/ LTE uses 1800MHZ (bend 3 I think) and 800MHZ(bend 20).
-------------------------------------
Here is TMOBILE'S NOTE 4 specs from their website:
International
Quad Band GSM; LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17; UMTS: Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100), Band V (850)
--------------------------------------------------
This is from VERIZONS NOTE 4:
Network: LTE Band 13/4 (700/1700 MHz), CDMA/1xEVDO Rev. A (800/1900 MHz); Global Network: EDGE/GSM (850/900/1800/1900), HSPA/UMTS(850/900/1900/2100)
-------------------------------------------------------
Please help me and tell me if any of the models is compatible with my carrier in Europe,because it is urgent!!!
Thank you in advance

I have found a picture supossedly of TMobile's Note 4 back retail packaging.It says that it supports 1800MHZ in "OTHER LTE frequency".Can anyone of you that owns Note4, confirm it is original picture and that it really supports 4G/LTE 1800MHZ frequency????

[Q] Does Pure Edition support Fido/Rogers 3G/LTE bands?

I'm thinking of getting the pure in the US and using it up in Canada. Wondering if it'll work. I've heard mixed things about the LTE bands and some saying that 3G won't work at all.
Much obliged.

It will work perfect, 100%

Telus sells the XT1097, your looking at the XT1095 out the US just don't pick the AT&T model as it has a locked boot loader that seems cant be unlocked at all..... The Telus model, supposed to have the quickest updates... well thats a lie.... there is no update as of today... and no indication of when either...

I was able to buy a XT1095. I still haven't received it but now all I can think about is "What if I need to use the warranty for some reason?". Did anyone in Canada have to go through that?

I asked a similar question (but for Telus) on howard forums. This is the response i received o0vL
"Moto X - Pure Edition (GSM Unlocked with T-Mo SIM - XT1095):
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1700 (AWS), 1900, 2100 MHz)
4G LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17)
Telus Moto X Specs
4G LTE: (Bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7,17, 29)
4G (HSPA): 2100MHz (Band I) / 1900MHz (Band II) / 1700MHz (Band IV) / 850MHz (Band V) / 900MHz (Band VIII)
Seems like the Pure Edition is missing band 29, where its available on the Telus version. Not sure if it will affect the LTE connection"

On another thread on this site, someone mentioned that the hardware is the exact same on the canadian model as it is on the pure edition model, the only difference is the firmware. So it seems to me that a radio flash might be required in order to receive the proper bands. I'd love confirmation on this, as I plan on using motomaker in the US to build my phone.

You can't actually change the modem files, you must you the original meant for the phone. The XT1095 supports all of the 2G,3G and 4G bands that Rogers/Bell/Telus/Fido/Virgin/Koodo/Wind/Mobilicity use in Canada. You don't need to do anything but insert your nano sim and possibly program the APN to get network data.

thanks for the reply Steve, so the lack of band 29 shouldn't be an issue? LTE speeds should be achievable?
thanks again,

[Q] Activate band 20 on xt1058

Hi,
I recently purchased a new xt1058 on ebay, it's the US model i belive, but LTE doesn't work in france.
xt1058 have 2/4/5/7/17 bands activated and LTE in france is 20.
Is there any way to change that ? Can I switch modem files from xt1052 rom (EU version) ?
I'm running kk 4.4.4 212.44.26.ghost_row.RCI.en.CA version.
Thanks!

According to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Europe
France carriers also use band 7 (along with 20). So if you have the proper carrier, you should be fine.

I think the problem is that LTE on band 7 is only on 2600MHz, only band 20 use 800MHz in France

There are 2 different bands mate. One is 2600mhz and the other is 800Mhz. According to Wiki, there are carriers in France that uses 2600Mhz as frecuency for LTE. If that's the case, you should be fine. Look at the link I pasted before.

The problem is the moto x use only 850/900/1900/2100 frequencies , not 2600 MHz.

Those are the 3G bands that the Moto X supports. Not LTE bands. You are confusing things here.
XT1058 uses LTE bands 2/4/5/7/17 (look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_X_(1st_generation)#Variants)
Hence, it uses 1900/1700/850/2600/700.

Many carriers in the EU use band 20 in most cities, the official reason is, band 20 covers more area and only band 7 is used in cluster areas, such as football stadiums, airports, central train stations etc.
At least thats what the German carriers say.
So its mainly an economic decision to use band 20 for regular urban areas and only use band 7 (which doesn't cover so much km²) in the cluster areas.
There is a user who is currently editing some files to enable software wise other LTE frequencies for the Droid, have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/droid-turbo-conquers-europe-t2995343/page3
This however, will only enable the LTE bands software wise, it hasn't been tested yet, if the LTE works then in the EU for band 20 or if its a hardware limitation or if you need to flash the EU modem, too

I tried to enable bands 3,7 and 20 on my XT1053 and it didn't work for me.

What exactly did you try? Flashing the other radio / modem file or by unlocking it in the software or both?

I have since months xt1052 fw with 1053 radio and this allowed me to have Italian language and 3G/H+ working fine. xt1052 radio don't work at all on US devices.
Tried last week to enable bands modifying NV strings via QXDM but there's not effect. GSM and WCDMA are good, but no LTE. I guess is hw limitation, or some other NV items must be changed to get it working.

Ok, thanks for the clarification
By the way, there is a nice wiki who talks about french LTE bands, and according to it, band 7 @2600Mhz is used by 3 carriers, including mine, but no LTE on my moto x...
As Dagoban said, carriers must mainly use band 20 @800mhz to cover large areas.

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)
4G FDD LTE - B1(2100),B3(1800),B7(2600),B8(900),B28(700)
4G TDD LTE - B38(2600),B39(1900),B40(2300),B41(2500)

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.

Unlocked g800F not connecting to 4g?

Hey, my girlfriend bought a g800F off of amazon, and the 4g doesn't work, we've tried working with her network and I think it's her phone. She can take calls, use wifi, etc. but only ever gets 3G service. Is there anything I can do to remedy it before she has to send it back?

Perhaps the device doesn't support the band your carrier is using for LTE?
The S5 mini should support the following bands(from a quick internet search, so might be more)
Code:
800 (band 20), 850 (band 5), 900 (band 8), 1800 (band 3), 2100 (band 1), 2600 (band 7) MHz/Duplex FDD
Find your carrier in the link below to determine the bands they use:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
If the carrier is supported then you might want to try a ROM reflash from SamMobile, and if that doesn't work then the device may be genuinely broken and should be sent in. Carriers can also selectively enable LTE and some charge a fee(so it's not on by default), but I assume you already did that as you said you've contacted the network already.

Shoot, it looks like her carrier uses band 4. Where do I find a list of bands for the phone?

Whoops, time zones...
Spec sites like GSMArena tend to give those details out

Click "Expand" on the "Network" line. Unfortunately it seems like the G800R4 would have worked.
Do you live in the Americas? The G800F was designed for Europe.
