Any news on a official release date for tmobile?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

Looks like Tmo News is reporting that the user agent for the Note 2, for T-Mobile, has leaked. They're reporting that the device will be keeping its Exynos processor and will be HSPA+ 42Mbps. I'm guessing this will launch near the end of the year. The model number is SGH-T889.

so, does this mean the note 2 will actually work with T-Mobile's 4G network?
I currently have the original note and it only works on 2G. If the Note 2 will work on Tmo's 4G it will be enough for me to upgrade.

For all those AT&T User's
AT&T Galaxy Note 2 Confirmed In Leaked Screenshots – Release Imminent
It looks like were in for a treat guys. Samsung has gotten their act together and patched up everything in their latest quad-core.
Meaning...
Were gettin Quad-Core (Exynos 4412) with LTE
We had little-to-no-doubt the device would eventually make its way to AT&T (international frequency bands mostly match AT&T’s) but what’s interesting is Samsung’s quad-core Exynos 4412 is seemingly intact. No dual-core Qualcomm to be found. Remember, the last Note (and even the Galaxy S3) had to switch to a Qualcomm chip for compatibility with AT&T’s 4G LTE. Looks like Samsung patched everything up in their latest quad-core.

Your current Note, and the international Note II, will eventually work on T-Mobile's 3G/HSPA+ network by the end of this year, or early next, in some of the major markets in the States. T-Mobile is reframing their 1900MHz band, to work on 3G/HSPA+. I don't think the international Note II has the AWS bands inside of it, but I'm sure the T-Mobile one will.
In other words, you'll get some coverage with the International Note II in some of the major markets in the US, but you'll get even better coverage with the T-Mobile version, since it'll support both AWS/1700MHz and PCS/1900MHz. The good thing now, unlike the Galaxy S III, is that you'll still have the Exynos quad-core processor, instead of the Qualcomm dual-core processor (based on the rumors). The one thing I'm still wondering is if they'll still keep the LTE antenna in for the T-Mobile version. Would be nice, since they should be launching their LTE network next Spring.

Canadian Version?
I know they announced the quadcore version, but when it comes to Canada, will it be dualcore again? Or is it staying?

Based on the info that the AT&T and T-Mobile models will still have the quad-core processor, I will say yes that the Canadian models should have them as will. This was the case for the S III, so it should still apply here.

The US Variants of the SIII are dual-cores (Snapdragons S4..... correct me if i am wrong). Anyways we should see the Quad-Core CPU bundled with LTE:good::laugh::victory:

Glad to see Samsung got all their s--- together now. Here's to hoping that they being manufacturer of their own chips (lte), panels, memory will lead them to dominate apple. the near uniformity of gs3 paid off for them, now that this is no different than the international version this should be the trump that sammy needs!

AT&T definitely stepping it up with brand recognition, similar to how starbucks removed their name from the logo.

Looks about right. I wonder if Verizon's variant will still have the atrocious branding on the home button.

That's a nice, simply branding that doesn't take away from the device. Makes me want to abandon Verizon even more. We'll see what their official pics look like... (Hopefully the ones that were released are not official...)

Looking on the date on the phone, does it gives us a clue that it will be released on Thursday, November 15?

What news I've read did say it would be released mid-November, so the clues match up.

If the AT&T logo is no more than that I can live with that.
I just can't decide if I want the white or the grey.

I used a penny to rub off the branding on my Atrix. As long as it's just silk screened print on the cover it should work here as well.

Now, if the AT&T Note II's hardware is identical to the international version (with the exception of the LTE radios), then I'm pretty well sold! Flash the international firmware, and keep the AT&T specific modem.bin, and you've got the best of both worlds!

This is perfect. Nice and simple. Now all they have to do is release the damn thing.

But no LTE on the international version, correct? Useless to me without LTE. When I get throttled on LTE I get throttled down to HSPA and that's manageable. Without it? It's throttled back to EDGE.

Yes correct
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/sm-910c-exynos-chip-att-t-mobile-lte-t2905321

That's where I bought mine. Make sure you buy from amazon or at least FULFILLED by amazon in case you get a defective or a questionable unit. Don't huy from seller FreeTaxMse... I got a bad unit from that seller and when I returned the item, they were trying to blame me and accusing me that the unit and box don't tally... luckily It was fulfilled by amazon you I dealt with amazon. My N910C runs on AT&T via straight talk. So far so good. Not sure about Tmobile though. I always buy my phones from amazon.
Edit: here is my thread about the BAD unit:

My 910C had hardware issues, I received a 910H in place of it.
Edit: Now I am wondering if my C version had not had hardware issues would I have had LTE with it. Oh well, the H version is plenty fast with HSPA+.

At Key Input you can type Q21124 and it will take you to the same page.

I have the n910c on att in ny. I only got hspa+ until i talked to an att rep onljne and they did a few things on their end and now i have lte. My sim card was in a nexus 4 before hand.

Well I sure wish my C version had not been bad or maybe that I got aC version as a replacement because LTE is a nice thing to have.

Two 6p models

I see on the Huawei support website that they list 2 models for the nexus 6p H1511 & H1512

American and international.
They have different radio bands enabled, that should be the extent of differences.
Unless you mean on the device, then I assume the phone will be labeled in software, and probably have the SKU on the case somewhere.

It has most of the same bands but not all. You'd not have as good coverage using the international version for Project Fi in the US.
Also the versions abroad that have these bands are likely considerably more expensive than the US version. As an example, in the EU the 6P starts at at over $200 more for the base model.

plus there is no 4g in Europe

They are pretty close, but the info had been posted a few times I'm the general section - I think I also saw a listing of countries and bands somewhere here.

International you gain Asian bands mostly 1 (is Europe to), 9 & 19 are Japan. You loose 30(AT&T future), 12 (hopefully will work with T-Mobile at launch lol), and 13 (Verizon?).
I hope they fix it in the def community like they did the nexus 6, almost all bands on both devices.

fingers crossed. I'm in the same exact boat hoping the OP5 supports Freedom's new lte bands so i can switch!

If it's LTE band 66 then it sure will, I've seen all 34 bands it's listed as compatible with and this is one of them but there's not long till you can confirm that

There's been a lot of speculation based on this tweet going on:
https://twitter.com/oneplus/status/876469710916857856
It's rumored there might just be one international model - compatible with most current LTE bands. Would be awesome if LTE roaming was finally possible.

Yep I'm thinking the same about there just being one model as I've been lucky enough to see a little something which states 34 band compatibility and as it's launched today I'm sure there's no harm sharing:
FDD LTE:B1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,17,18,19,20,25,26,28,29,30,66
TDD-LTE:B38,39,40,41
TDS:B34,39
UMTS:B1,2,4,5,8

Hi Folks,
Given these supported bands and Sprint's LTE is bands 25, 26, and 41, does this mean that OP5 will fully work with Google's Project Fi?
I've been waiting to move to Project Fi but not willing to pay for the Pixel.
Thanks!

Project Fi only fully works on the Nexus and Pixel line. Even if another phone supports the bands, you will only have access to T-Mobile.
