I was excited about the Galaxy S III and planned to upgrade my Sprint Epic 4G in August. Now I'm reconsidering.
Has anyone else decided to wait for a Quad-Core LTE device before upgrading in the USA? Any rumors about when that might happen? I think Qualcomm says their Quad-core chip will be available in the 2nd half of 2012. Will it have integrated LTE or require a separate chip?
Qualcomm is worth waiting for. Either that or the huawei ascend D

Anybody on T-Mobile disappointed about the recent announcement of no LTE for the S3?

Okay I am in the USA. I am not on T-Mobile but on Att. I am currently using N1. I can leave Att for as specific reason. I know Samsung galaxy s 2 is available but I refused to buy Samsung. I love HTC. After purchasing my N1 I am HTC for life.
I know that carriers in Australia and Att in the US have the same 3G band. I was wondering if there are any news about quad band 3g sensation out there. I would absolutely pick up it I its released. Thx advance.

I noticed we have an lte toggle on some roms for the s 4g. Is that only for a 4g connection or what does that do for our phones. tried to look it up myself but not getting any clearer.
It activates the dormant 4G LTE chipset in the phone. Fortunately they planned ahead in 2010 and got us prepped for the future.

So the International Version has no 4G support that has been established; however, their could be a possible way to still get 4G. I have seen with the SG2 International and The SG2 Tmo if you flash the modem of the tmo one onto the international they got 4G on Tmo. I have also read that i think it was the nexus or galaxy note or something had a locked band that they unlocked.... I heard that a radio probably wont change anything but does anyone else have any ideas?

Don't like waiting and I travel a lot.
Personally I think you should just wait you gaffe the s2 so it's not like you dying from a crappy phone and that way you would know it works properly I'm not sure about the one s but I know on my HTC sensation there is a extra antenna for the 4 g and we can't even buy a extra battery cover unless it had that antenna or we loose 4g

As far as I understand, it's not. Check www.htc.com/www and look at the One S specifications.
Doesn't support 1700 AWS bands nor does it have the 1900 mHz (AT&T 3G, soon to be T-Mobile HSPA+ as well).
A software hack won't fix bands that don't exist in the hardware.

The 850 mHz band is also AT&T 3G, but it is not as widespread around the country as the 1900 mHz band. So, you're getting AT&T 3G on 850 mHz because that is available on the One S.

So say its all over and theirs no changing it. Those of us who had no idea that it wouldn't work is their any way would could minupulate HTC or Tmo into giving us a version that will suport it. You could play the "It says hspa+ on your website"

Again, because they contain the 1700 AWS band to get T-Mobile 3G/HSPA+.
A software fix cannot fix what the hardware lacks in the International One S. I'm not sure you could coerce HTC into an exchange because they'll probably tell you that the detailed specifics are available on their website and you should always check with your carrier before buying an international device.
Your best bet would be to return it directly and buy the T-Mobile US model if you'd like T-Mobile service. Hopefully they'll get the black version, if not, sorry mate. Sometimes you have to choose carrier over design, or simply a different phone model.

I dont get why htc included the band in one phone and not the other.

So people wouldn't buy one to use it for a carrier it wasn't meant to be on? If the band is only in the T-Mobile version and people are on T-Mobile, their only choice is to buy it from T-Mobile if they want 3G.
T-Mobile probably doesn't want people buying their flagship off contract.

Hi,
I am wondering if firstly the Exynos 5410 Octa version of the Galaxy SIV is LTE compatible. The only reason I would get the Galaxy S4 is if it has the SGX544MP3 (I want to have graphics performance future proofing) and if the UK will not get that model on LTE I will probaly get the HTC One or the Xperia Z. Please help!
Thankyou
I heard both the US and global versions are gonna be LTE capable ( even if they come with different cpu).
So i guess it's gonna be LTE capable all around the globe even in the UK.
Yes theyre both LTE its just the Exynos wont be available in N.A. due to unsupported bands on that model. Shame really.

Just a heads up. Future proof in android is a myth

If as expected, the US variant of the s7 comes with the snapdragon, and the European version with Exynos, will it be possible to use the unlocked us version in europe with a uk sim card?
I only ask because I'm thinking of getting one, however I'm not really interested in the exynos due to the inability to create AOSP roms for it
Thanks.
I really hoped it would work.
Depends on the source. It'll have to be GSM to be used in Europe. So you'll have to buy either the international, AT&T, or T Mobile variants I would guess

Actually Verizon could be an option too. We have to see complete specs of each variant but many times Verizon phones have most LTE bands. On the other side Tmobile phones usually come with unlocked bootloader.
Yeah. Too soon to know fully at this stage. Ah the waiting game.
To be fair, a lot of times in the past they've release the snapdragon variant in the UK as well, but you could still always get the Exynos versions imported by shops on eBay for the same price pretty much.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Anyone got any updates for this? Confirmed that only the US gets snapdragon and that's the one I want.
If it helps, o2 in the uk uses:
900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE 2G
1,800 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE 2G
900 MHz UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+/DC-HSPA+ 3G
2,100 MHz UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+/DC-HSPA+ 3G
800 MHz LTE 4G
Also, does it matter if the verizon one comes with a locked bootloader? Can't it just be unlocked?
any news on the Snapdragon variant? I really hope it's not US Exclusive as i am not a fan of Exynos.

Incorrect. I saw an unboxing video of a UK model and the box said Octa Core on it. Definitely Exynos in the UK.
USA and China only territories to get S820.
UK is getting Exynoss, this has been verified. Early reports said it would get SD820 but those were corrected by Samsung and retail partners.
