Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F:
LTE: 800, 850, 900, 1800, 2100, 2600
I guess it depends on which country you're in to determine what band applies. Those are the associated frequencies though.

The international Samsung phones have yet to support america's LTE bands. I was really hoping that the Octa version would finally have worldwide LTE, but it turns out neither of the international S5 versions support LTE 4 or 17 (used on AT&T/TMo)

More than likely AT&T's way of forcing people to buy their version instead. This way people can't root, flash roms, or tether w/o a plan.

US variants and the I model ( Aussie model ) are the only ones that are LTE supported and are now pretty much all bootloader locked. Also all international models all come factory/carrier/bootloader unlocked too. Ive just moved here not long ago and dont really care for LTE so got my last 2 phones outside the country. I didnt realize about the bootloader lock until I got my S5 from ATT so Im hoping someone comes up with a method to unlock it.

Octa Version (G900H) doesn't have 4G LTE, only 3G. I have one of that here in Brazil.

canadian version
Looks like the Canadian version SM-G900W8 supports 8 LTE bands - which is all exept for the 800mhz (very common in Europe).
just google SM-G900WZKABMC-techspecs (cant post links)

Does your phone have to support every band a carrier uses for lte for you to be able to use lte on that network?
My s5 supports 5 of the 7 lte bands that att uses. Will I not be able to use lte at all with my phone?

AT&T operates LTE in band 2 (1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 17(700).

The T-Mobile bootloader is NOT locked and supports all the bands of AT&T and more. Plus, 900F roms work well on it if you keep the TMO modem.

So is it just a matter of changing the modems to get lte working on AT&T and T-Mobile with the 900F?
I just put a straight talk SIM (AT&T network) in my phone and I am reporting lte on my phone and getting download speeds of 15mbps +.

No. I don't think that the 900F has all the AT&T and TMO bands so it would be hit and miss at best.
And you want the modem designed for the device because it will utilize whatever bands that device is capable of using.
If you are close to a cell tower, 4g can do 15. I'm close to a cell tower here at work and my LTE can get 58 down.

Does that mean you can just stick an AT&T sim card into a T-Mobile S5 and have all the same capabilities as the AT&T S5, and more (like an unlocked bootloader)?

Almost. When you receive the G900T it will be locked to the T-Mobile network (unless you specifically buy one that is unlocked) so you do have to get it SIM Unlocked first. This allows you to use it on any GSM network. I paid 20 bucks online because no one has figured out how to unlock it for free yet.
After that I installed Omega rom but kept the latest TMO modem. It works perfectly. I got 58 down on LTE at work the other day.

Any idea how to get it to connect to the 4G/LTE network with SM-G900F

I'm using Samsung galaxy S5 SM-G900F in Pakistan, my problem is that i use 3G and 4G services in Islamabad(Capital of Pakistan) and Rawalpindi (twin city of capital) my S5 works fine but whenever i go around the country, i'm unable to use 3G or 4G services. Its continuously show me that i'm connected with 2G network or EDGE enable network. i've done everything(updating- from 5.0.1 to 6.0.1, resetting, carrier switching,some other freaking tweaks) , bandwidth also the supported with carrier network. i'm tired with this seriously....:crying::crying:
PLEASE HELP ME OUT of this Problem....

[Q] SM-N910F (Europe) Note 4 on T-mobile?

I have a European Note 4 (SM-N910F) that I want to be able to use on T-Mobile's network. It is unlocked and I am only getting Edge right now. Does T-mobile not support these specific bands for LTE? What about other carriers? Help!
I believe these are the supported bands of my device..
2G GSM
GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900
3G UMTS
B1(2100), B2(1900), B5(850), B8(900)
4G FDD LTE

To my knowledge T mobile only supports the 1700 and 1900 bandwith. Look at the specs on their website for what other frequencies they support. Let me know if you are successful because I want to buy an international phone as well and run it on tmobile.

On which band?

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
Check this site - gives you all the LTE band frequencies world wide

It is still not 100% clear to me if it should work or not. Someone else care to clarify for me? Thanks

2G EDGE - Yes
4G HSPA+ AWS 1700 - No
4G HSPA+ PCS 1900 - Yes (in refarmed areas)
4G LTE AWS 1700 (B4) - Yes
4G LTE PCS 1900 (B2) - Yes

I have the same phone you have on T-Mobile and do not get LTE. Yes, my area is covered by LTE in case you wondering. Sad Sad

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

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

Any chance that I can use the hk version w/ Verizon?

HK version note 5 has dual sim, which is much appreciated by someone who travels a lot like me, so instead of getting a Verizon note 5, I'd much rather buy one in Hong Kong. The problem is that I am not sure if it would be compatible with Verizon's 4G LTE network, and it'd be awesome if someone knows.
4G FDD LTE
B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B12(700), B17(700), B18(800), B19(800), B25(1900), B26(800), B28(700)
4G TDD LTE
B38(2600), B39(1900), B40(2300), B41(2500)
This is what hk samsung says on the specs page.

does it have CDMA radios? I'm guessing it doesn't. Also, you'll need Band 13 LTE too. B4 coverage is pretty limited, especially if you leave town.

Thanks a lot for the reply. As a matter of fact, it does have CDMA radios.
2G GSM
GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900
2G CDMA
CDMA800
WCDMA
B1(2100), B2(1900), B5(850), B8(900)
3G CDMA
BC0(800)
3G TD-SCDMA
B34(2010), B39(1880)
4G FDD LTE
B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B12(700), B17(700), B18(800), B19(800), B25(1900), B26(800), B28(700)
4G TDD LTE
B38(2600), B39(1900), B40(2300), B41(2500)
Currently, I'm thinking about leaving Verizon for T-Mobile prepaid. Termination fee would be a hassle, but t-mobile is much cheaper in comparison so I think it adds up. And I'm guessing that this would work with T-Mobile LTE?

Tab S2 differences between SM-T815 and SM-T817

What is a comprehensive set of differences between the Galaxy Tab S2 models SM-T815 and SM-T817? The latter is T-Mobile. I am curious which LTE bands are supported by each model.

Apparently the T815 also have different version, in hong kong and china it's the T815C, differences between the china and hong kong version is the installed apps, and the china version does not have play store and some other google app.

Thank you for the info. Would love to have the t817 bands so it works @4g lte in Europe and all T-Mobile lte bands. But i already have an sm-t807t so cannot justify upgrading. Especially with lower battery capacity on the S2.

So if I have a T815C, can I use a rom or other software (or firmware?) for a T815, such as the stock Marshmallow rom from Germany?

Quoting the same question: the market is full of variation on the same model T810, T815, T819N .... and so on.
Can I install Cyanogenmod, in example, without to check if it is meant to be installed on T815 and nothing but T815?
If it is just a frequency difference, I think I can, but please confirm.
