[Q] Query for Snapdragon 800 based Galaxy S4 in India - Galaxy S 4 General

Hello people,
I have a question if anyone can help me in answering
If I get the galaxy S4 (Snapdragon 800, 32 GB version) from Korea (link here), would this work in India?
I am not sure about this but the bands mentioned for 2g/3g on the seller listing are support here.
So any advice would surely be much appreciated! It would be great if anyone can help me here
Thanks!

i think snapgragon 800 supports most of the available bands, but i'm not sure if the supportive bands would be locked. I believe if you would be able to get the factory unlocked one that should work. LG G2 launched in India comes with Snapdragon 800.
IMO not worth it for the price.

Buddy, Yes it may work but as per News or so called Rumors, that After 4.4 Kitkat update, It may be region wise locked. SO, better to choose Indian Regional S4 then that as it may become pain of your ass after updating.

T-mobile One S converting to International model?

Hi guys, it's time to upgrade from my old Desire, and One S seems to be really the best replacement.
Unfortunately in my country there are just Z560e models, Z520e models are trading on much higher price
So I'm wondering can I get a T-mobile US version, flash an international RUU and use it with Europe 3G networks?
Here we use primary 900/2100 for 3G.
Sorry if this question is already asked, I searched a lot for the last couple of hours with no satisfying answer coming up.
Thanks

All T-Mobile US One S phones come with s4 processor. s3 One S phones are made for Asian markets.
With T-Mobile branded version you have to super CID it in order to flash different region RUUs.

how I can perform this procedure if I have a htc 3g band 900/2100 and I have the 1900 as I do I have an s4

The One S is an awesome upgrade from teh Desire, trust me
Here is a table and some frequency info, but you should probably doublecheck with your carrier if you manage to find someone there who understands what you talk about;.)

From the review:
What’s awesome about the T-Mobile HTC One S is that it supports 2100 MHz UMTS Band I and AWS alongside Cellular 850 MHz and PCS 1900 MHz. The result is that if you either can find one unlocked, or unlock your T-Mobile One S, you get a quad-band phone which supports DC-HSPA+. I managed to get T-Mobile to unlock my One S, and had no issue using it on AT&T. If anything, I wish AT&T would carry a device like this, since I find the smaller form factor very appealing.

I checked already and my carrier is migrating from 2100 to 900 for the 3G.
T-Mobile doesn't support 3G on 900 Mhz, anyway GSM (voice) is quad-band and can work worldwide.
Hm.. I don't see working S-off or I'm wrong?
No S-off yet
I see s-off is not needed for SuperCID and people are changing their CIDs to flash the latest OTA update.
So everything about de-branding US T-Mobile version boils down to the question "is the hardware compatible with the international RUU and will it have working 3G in Europe?"
I still can not find a trusted answer of this question....

Then you should PM torxx. As he did TrickDroid for TMO US and the international version as well, he could be able to answer this question reliable.
You may find answers as well in these Threads:
[ROM][FINISHED][S4/S3][11 AUG] TrickDroid v7.1.0
[ROM][T-MOBILE-US][S4][FINISHED] TrickDroid v6.2.0
Also searching there is a bit harsh...

[Q] China Phones that work on AWS Network

Hey, this is my first post. Not a lot of discussion on the forums about this topic. I'm sure it won only help me but countless people too
I currently live in Canada and I'm with a service provider called Wind Mobile. It runs on a AWS network (Same Frequency of T-mobile for Americans) , with bands 1700/2100 MHz. I have looked every where for a China phone that is not only good but that is compatible with my network. So far i have found none . If any one has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
What specs I'm looking for is:
IPS display
At least 1GB of RAM
8-16GB of internal Storage
4.4 Kitkat
Any screen size.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, NO FAKE SPECS (as China is notoriously know for doing this)
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

is there a specific model of the S6 that might work better, and what carriers sells it?
the freqs. I'm using are: UMTS 900/2100 and LTE 1800/2600

How do I get more frequency working on an Indian version of S2?

So as y'all know, s2 and y2 is the exact model but differentiate from where it sales.
I got my y2 from India, currently back to Taiwan.
I wonder if there are any ways fore me to enable 900 MHz 2600Mhz LTE or 4G bands, as those two is what my cellular company provides. (Whereas my phone supports 850Mhz, 2100Mhz and all, but just not 900 MHz or 2600Mhz)
I have only found a thread with galaxy s5 I suppose, but I am a newbie here and I have absolutely no Idea what I should do.
Currently running Unlocked version MIUI 10, Android 9.
Btw, rooting wouldn't be a problem, just help me to get it working <3

I think it has been country and operator specific, different country and different operator has different result

I know that, but just asking whether there are anyway for me to add frequencies, else I would need to change a phone.

I don't know, this works or not, usually in "miui" there is a region menu...
Does effect nothing with region select
I have faced, for some reason, the frequency of my 4G cell phone being locked in my country, when I change regions, the problem is resolved

I know that what I need is a firmware edit (or whatever it calls)
, changing the settings obviously won't help.

Question What about Updates on the Snapdragon Edition ?

Hi there !
As we all know, most of the people having the Exynos variant are facing huhge problems related to performance and battery drain.
I could probably import an (unbranded) S22 Ultra with a Snapdragon Processor from Hong Kong.
Before doing this, i wanted to know :
- if the device will work perfectly in Europe (Luxembourg, Germany & France)
- i read that i might not get the updates as fast as on my european exynos variant.. is that true ?
Kind regards,
Valy
I hope to create a thread for that.
As far as I know, both Models, SD and Exynos, supports all 3G, 4G and 5G bands. You can double check that, but if it supports all bands, you can use all around the world.
About updates, Exynos is Samsung processor and it is normal to get updates first. You have to check if China CSC is fast in updates.
