Does the 701L work in the US? It looks like it works on most of the same frequencies, but just want to be sure.
Thanks
I think no,701 is for Europe (LTE 800/1800/2100/2600)
I think only Hspa+ in US

I am finding so much conflicting info about LTE phones... I know in the US, they support LTE 700. In Germany, Telekom uses LTE 800. What I can't find are good technical specs on any phones. Obviously a US manual is going to state LTE 700. But I can't find techniucal details on the actual chip. Maybe the freq coverage is such that the phone will support both LTE 700 and LTE 800?
Can an expert please advise me if the Skyrocket (or any other really good LTE phone) will work in Germany?
I know there is now a Europe version of this phone (GT-I9210) but I want to save $ and buy in US if possible, if the US version will work.
thanks,
Brian
No, the Skyrocket doesn't support the LTE bands used in the EU.
LTE frequencies used in Germany are 800Mhz and1800Mhz LTE bands and 2600Mhz TDD LTE band.
Thanks. Do you know of any phones that are LTE capable in both the US and Germany?
regards,
Brian
As far as I know, there is no smartphone working in the US and in Germany atm
Whats the difference between?

The US version just has some extra frequency bands for T-Mobile. They mostly operate on a different band in the US than they do in other countries. If you're not using US T-Mobile, there's really no reason to buy the US version. The Global version will work a little more reliably for you.

The global version will likely work a *lot* more reliably for you if you're outside the United States. The U.S. version doesn't add extra frequencies, it trades those frequencies for other frequencies. So the U.S. version cannot work on certain frequencies that the global version can, and vice-versa. (The U.S. version cannot do HSPA on 900MHz while the global one can, and the U.S. version doesn't support networks that use 2100MHz for the downlink and 1900 for the uplink...its 2100MHz support is limited to AWS downlink.) This means that the U.S. version will, in a large percentage of countries, be limited to using EDGE networks. It really is too bad that Motorola couldn't manage to make a single model that covers all of these bands...
My impression is that there are very few carriers worldwide that operate on band 4/AWS-1. T-Mobile U.S. is probably the largest one, and even they are actually in the process of refarming their spectrum. My understanding is that they are turning down some 850MHz 2G transmitters, moving some HSPA+ over to that spectrum and some to 1900/2100 (band 1), and then re-using their AWS-1 spectrum for LTE. Once that happens, even the global version of the Moto G will work fine on T-Mobile. The global version already works on AT&T, and if you are in a metro area where T-Mobile has already completed the spectrum shuffle, the global version will work for you, too (and allow you to use your phone on HSPA networks if you ever travel outside of the country!). So for many people in the U.S., I would argue that the global version might actually make more sense, especially looking forward.

the US version will only have internet with Claro bc it has hspa 850mhz while its missing 900mhz in hspa (orange internet)
I just ordered my black Mi4 today and will hopefully switch from my z1c in a few days. Are there other users within europe to share knowledge with? Since 3g and 4g networks differ from the network bands used in the USA, it might be a good idea to get connected.
Of course, i'm still interested in sharing knowhow with everyone else of you too when it comes to non-network-related issues.

Where did you order your mi4 ? what website ?
directly from Xiaomi. http://www.xiaomishop.com/180-xiaomi-mi4-16gb-wcdma-smartphone-black.html
Xiaomishop is not Xiaomi, just reseller.
interesting. Didn't know that. But it seems like a trustworthy reseller anyways, as i read tons of positive remarks about them. But let's just see when (and how) my device arrives.

I have a white 3G one, since september and it works very well with european networks. Tested it in France and UK.

great! As France and Germany use the same frequency bands, everything should be fine then. I read a few complains about bad/no reception, but it seems like this wouldn't be a general problem after all.
No problem of reception at all. I get even better signal than my old S4 Mini, and better sound quality too.
whats best place to buy the mi4? just a reference is ok no need for full url..
i want to bu black version but it seems kinda like sold out?

it's available @ xiaomishop right now. Product ID M180
my order just went to status "shipped" today. Can't wait to get my hands on that cutie.
FDD LTE Band 20
The international version of the Mi4 is available today.
But there is no official support for FDD LTE 800 MHz (Band 20)
Maybe it comes out next year or we can get with a firmware update ?
FDD-LTE model is not available yet, you have to wait.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4/general/unlocking-basebands-mi4-t2879685
Nobody has reported success in unlocking bands on different model, likely hardware issue/impossible.

I do not think that this will happen with the MI4, just more in a new model like "MI5". In Germany you can use this Band 20 with t-mobile in some areas.You can not fix this problem with an simple software update, its more linked to the hardware conditions. But you can put me right
so i got my Mi4 yesterday. 2G/3G seem to work perfectly fine.
The only thing i'm still not quite sure about is localization. I currently use .12.12 dev-Edition. Seems like giving root-Access right out of MIUI is not available in stable editions. But sadly, the localized versions (in my case: german ) seem to lack behind. Not a big deal as i'm perfectly fine using english terms in my OS, but i wonder if there is any way to tell 3rd party apps (facebook etc.) that they should use foreign languages. Any ideas?
[edit] woohoo! This one did the trick: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evanhe.locale
All 3rd party apps, that have any localization built in, now show up in german language

Being that Europe has the similar bands as the U.S. will it work in the States?
hi wonder if the european version of this phone will work good in us?
when looking on network specs on the uk and us page it seems they support same bands and so but the us version is a single sim and the uk one is a dual sim hope somone can give a good answer thanks in advance.
here is the links to the us and uk sites.

the u12+ is fully unlocked and supports all bands afaik, doesn't matter if dual or single sim. unlocked even supports the carriers and you get the same phone, just different software version. but should work fine
ok are u sure about that ? .Was talking with htc on their chat. but they didn't to make any promises if it will work in us or not. From what i have understood the uk (european) version and the us one has same network capabilities. So in theory the europé version should work on same network as the us one or do i misunderstand ?

If the bands are complete the same, since it's unlocked anyways and both variants share the same bands for GSM/WCDMA etc, it should be fine. You can always buy the phone and test it and otherwise send it back
Sent from my HTC U12+ using XDA Labs
So since I am in the US and have a US u12+, if I RUU using the Exodus firmware, I should be safe, correct?
I go back and forth between Europe and the US, the U11 works there, the U12+ has more bands available. You won't get band 71, unless someone works out an activation hack and somehow the hardware can still use it, even if not the specific band 71 hardware.
You'll get 4G on ATT, you'll get band 12 4G on T-Mobile. If the carriers lock anything out on non-native devices, I don't know. Also the local municipalities may not have certain bands available, either. Too many variables.
A lot of the confusion comes from Samsung and other companies that uselessly institute the same practices as them- they cripple their phones so they can't be used properly on another continent. I would buy an S10, but will be stuck with Exynos and bands not fully compatible with the US, while the US gets Snapdragon, bands specific for North America, but due to the Snapdragon, has a better chance of having the missing Europe frequencies activated.
The idiots pretty much locked out the frequencies for the other continent that would give one 4G, leaving most all others the same.
I'm looking for a new budget phone and this one seems perfect, but will it be available internationally? If yes, how long will it take?
See Y're from Netherlands, since some important LTE bands for Europe are missing (Band 20), we need a global version made for us.

There actually is a global version, but I don't know how long it would take to actually get outside of India..
