Hi
Just recently I found out the hard way that using a phone sim in a tablet is restricted. I sold my Note 2 and bought a Note 10.1, nice upgrade huh! Well no not really, as my One Plan with 3 Mobile does not allow me to use the tablet
So instead I have to buy a semi-good-okish phone maybe SG S2 and tether to the Note 10.1
Has anyone had this experience with there phone provider?
Is it 3 Mobile the only ones doing this?
Wouldn't mind but I have 2 monthly contracts with 3, and when I get my SG S2 I will probably be using more data having 2 devices connected as oppose to 1
What is your opinion on this
Cheers
Hi guys
I'm planning to buy SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3 from US probably (I'm from Europe) and I don't know the difference between NOTE 3 N9005 and
SM-N9005 and which one is better or the are the same? I think that SM-N9005 is from VERIZON network in USA.What is the difference and will it work in Europe?
Thanks

I ask myself the same question.
I do not claim to give a complete answer, but as far as my research (15 mintes) tells me, these are Samsung-intern designations that give information on the exact hardware specifications.
In case of the note 3, they mainly differ in supported data transfer standards, such as g2, g3, lte (these are German terms, no idea if they're globally applicable, the general idea should be clear nonetheless).
The weaker octacore chip can (or will or should) only be used with devices that support only standards g3 or lower.
hope this helps and hope i'm not completely wrong here.
btw, sm-n9005 has the stronger quadcore chip so you'd be safe buying that one.

Thank you for your reply.I searched internet as well,and I agree with you,but I just found out that VERIZON's NOTE 3 model has other numbers. It is : SM-N900V – U.S. Verizon Galaxy Note 3 !!! What does SM-900V now means?
Maybe they misinformed me that it is SM-N9005.
check out the us Samsung shopping site. googling note 3 sprint should get you there as well.
There you can compare full specs for all carriers

You'd buy the sm-n9005 which is the European lte version.
I live in France and I have this one.

Really, you could not read the thread that is already stickied at the top?

SM stands for Samsung Mobile. That's all. N9005 is the short name, SM-N9005 is the full product name.

Yes I read that SM-N900V is VERIZON's model od Note 3,but also read somewhere that they have LOCKED BOOTLOADER.And after reading Verizon's NOTE 3 forum I found out that VERIZON still don't have KIT KAT update for their NOTE 3 (which is not the case with other mobile cariers in USA).So this makes VERIZON not that good idea.
Does anyone have any experience with it,and what problems will I have if the bootloader is locked for N-900V Note 3?

That just means that development for a variant with locked bootloader is going to be slower than unlocked variants. I'm not American but if I can give any advice it's this: don't go for carrier-locked variants ever if you can avoid it. Carrier contracts are more expensive in the long run than a one-off payment and their lust for control causes slower updates (if any) and more difficult development. Don't support those companies, just don't.

Being in Europe you should definitely go with the SM-N9005 . It's the most popular LTE radio model, and the most xda developed. Not really sure why you'd want to go with the Verizon Model.
P_
I'm considering NOTE 3 from USA,because I have someone over there ,who can get it for me cheaper then in Europe.That is why.But after reading all of the stuff (not that good) about VERIZON's version,I better not do it.But we will see,it depends on the price.

Just buy the International version which is SM-N9005. If it is from a carrier especially in US, the bootloader is locked. It might not work for your country since you are in France but you can unlock it. If you are concern for the update, you can update manually by using Odin. It is easier to wait for the stock firmware download to be finished that wait for the OTA to come

Because that's how they do it, India has updated Note 5 and Edge+ last week on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively,so it won't take more than 4-5 days for s6 and s6 edge as per trend.
Also one of my friends had a talk with head of the Samsung India software development team, he told him on phone that it was a great challenge to work Samsung pay for S6 and S6 edge as none have MST chips but works on NFC. They have now completed tha tests and waiting for Samsung mobile global for confirmation to release the uodaye. As soon as they will get confirmation they will release the OTA. It could happen between 3rd April to 15th April. That's why I hope that next week

Okay guys, i've just talked to the customer service from my S6 CSC code (TPA) and the guy told me that my phone will get the update after ALL S7 & S7 Edge variants get it. So if you are one of the "lucky" owner of this csc we have like a month or so to get the update... yipee
Samsung is doing a trade in your old phone deal on its new Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ Devices
$200 Any smartphone
$300 Galaxy Note 5
$300 Galaxy S7
$350 Galaxy S7 Edge
Unfortunately at the moment this is only in a few country's
(sucks for me i have a note 5 and s7edge but i am in the UK)
US Link : http://www.samsung.com/us/trade-in/
Visit your regions Samsung Website to see if the deal is available for you!
Requirements:
Phone Powers On
Normal Wear & Tear
No Cracked Screen

Does not say anything about a tripped knox so i do not think that matters
Hopefully this deal will come to other country's too
It appears that Malaysia are doing this too...

I am in the UK but I'm waiting for the S9 so I would rather skip the S8

Nice hopefully it will remain for future devices and spread to other country's
i know what you mean there isnt a great deal of difference from the s7e and s8 apart from looks and i hear our battery is even better than the new flagship..
i was kinda waiting for the note 8... i have not heard anything about the s9
but i am definately interested in the trade in deals as ive been with samsung since there s2
I couldn't find anything if they would accept my S7 Duos on this trade in through the US store.

Forgot to mention mine is a S7 Edge Duos, but since I bought the UAE phone to use here in the US I fear they might not accept it because of that even though it has never been rooted.

it should still qualify, its still an official samsung galaxy s7 edge regardless of variant, i'm confident if i was willing to pay the price of fast shipping i could send mine in from the UK to a friend over there to do the swap for me. (and my s7e g935f is rooted) the only problem is i dont have a friend in the US lol or i would.
you could always ring them up and clarify... should only take a minute im sure it will be no problem to get the full price of a s7e
