The official announced that only Redmi Note 2 Prime version will not be available untill September 8 at 10AM(GMT+8).
I guess because of the parade in China will be held at September 3. So they have 3-5 holidays which means the production line is down now...
But now, when buying China Mobile version, you can choose the color of back you like.
There's 5 color you can choose now! (White, Pink, Blue, Yellow, Dark Gray)

Don't worry about the band mode if you buying prime version, but if you choose China Mobile which is 799 RMB one, you have to flash the ROM for China Unicom and unlock the band mode in engineering mode. Or you can unlock the band mode in setting if you get the very first ROM for China Mobile.

Does anyone know if the Redmi Note 2 will work on AT&T in the United States?

yes but now site mentions its in stock so I'm hopeful to get in a week!
I ordered 32 gb black model which is short everywhere ...

Does the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 support microSD card? And up to which storage capacity (32, 64, or 128 GB)?

It only supports 32GB. I had a Sandisk 64GB and I tried everything including formatting to FAT32 intead of exFAT and it just kept saying "corrupt" and would not mount at all.
I just purchased and installed a Kingston 32GB U-1 card for about $12 and it is now working fine, under storage is says 31.43 GB available. Time to fill it up with content!

Xiaomi officially announced that this device is only support 32 GB, but Chinese confirmed that it support up to 64GB as well. Btw, he is using Sandisk 64GB c10
But there's an SD card bug that you'll probably get "SD card is corrupt error"
Lots of people get this, but it is randomly... hope Xiaomi would fix this soon.

LTE will not work, but 3G should work fine, and 2G has at least one of the two bands covered. Take a look at the following page for info about the bands that AT&T uses:
http://www.prepaidphonenews.com/2014/09/what-phone-works-with-which-operator.html
Quoting from that page, "AT&T uses the 850Mhz and 1900 Mhz bands for GSM (voice), EDGE (2G) and UMTS (3G) data. In some markets they use both bands in others one or the other...For LTE AT&T uses bands 2 (1900), 4 (1700), 5 (850) and 17 (700). Band 17 is AT&T's primary LTE band. Bands 2, 4 and 5 are used in areas where AT&T doesn't own any band 17 spectrum and also in combination with band 17 in urban areas to increase capacity and speeds."
The RN2 has 3G WCDMA coverage on 850 and 1900 MHz--great! But no LTE frequencies coincide. GSM voice and EDGE 2G are partially covered by 1900 MHz (and not 850), but my understanding is that much of AT&T's voice service actually goes over 3G nowadays anyway. So if you get decent 3G reception, that should make up for GSM/2G coverage missing 850 MHz.
If somebody knows more, I am happy to hear about it! But I have ordered this model for myself via GearBest (currently on presale for US$180 with coupon code "GloudsGB32"), and plan on using it with an AT&T mvno, too.

International Note 2 at FCC already..

http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/12/galaxy-note-2-fcc/
Sweet! At least we know it's already at the FCC and will most likely be good to go.
No U.S. LTE on this one (as expected), but that's good for those of us who hope to use this on our Unlimited MediaNet plans.
I think...the N7100 version is the one everyone is waiting for. At least I am.
Je le croyais aussi.
N7100 vs N7105
I really have no idea but it appears the N7105 is international version with no LTE, at least that works with ATT. The N7100 is the model number with LTE that will work with ATT. Is this true? Negri Electronics is selling the N7100, the spec says "4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 2100". Does this work with ATT 4G LTE? Is this the model, if you want LTE, to buy?
I preordered from Negri a week ago, but definitely want LTE in U.S.so keep order or cancel? Many websites reference in specs LTE but others call for 2 models....anyone really know. Clove U.K. simply calls device Samsung Note 2, no reference to N7100 or N7105. It clearly doesn't show in specs 4G LTE, only 3G.Handtec (U.K.) calls out phone N7100 with the following spec:"3G: HSPA+ 21Mbps (HSDPA 21Mbps / HSUPA 5.76Mbps) 4G LTE: 100Mbps/ 50Mbps (HDSPA 42Mbps / HSUPA 5.76Mbps)
So which is it? Does anyone know?
It should work because ATT operates Lte on the 1700 and 2100 bands.

Yes... Same with Bell Canada LTE 700/1700/2100.
However what's confusing me is reading from the verge preview is the n7100 didn't have LTE.
Gsmarena also states this and list LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 2100 - N7105.

That's the problem seems to have conflicting opinions, like no one really knows.i just asked Negri electronics ans this is what he wrote:
Anthony - Negri Care
Hey Bob, I do see your inquiry. According to specs this unit will get the full LTE mobile data speeds but we are unable to guarantee this until they are released.
So maybe all speculation and we won't know until this device is released.

GSM Windows Phone 8 devices with LTE

This is only a simple summary I wanted to do about
There are many people who like to buy their smartphones from 3rd party vendors (ebay, and other on-line stores), so on.
Fortunately, there are several smartphones start with support for LTE networks

CANADA, U.S. (At&t, T-MOBILE), MEXICO (TELCEL), ARGENTINA (MOVISTAR), URUGUAY (ANTEL), PUERTO RICO (at&t), ETC.
To date are only four models of Windows Phone 8 with support for LTE networks in BC4 (the LTE Band Class 4, is the key band in many operators in America, but not to all) , whose band is used for LTE in Canada, Mexico Telcel LTE and the upcoming LTE network fron TMoUS
Should be mentioned that at&t has the license for the BC4, but not yet implemented (at least commercially), and so far at&t only uses its LTE in BC17 (the band 17 should not interest anyone outside of at&t). Even so, the at&t´s LTE devices releases are still very relevant to another countries like Mexico and another some countries in Latin America, becauser ther LTE devices that are made for at&t in addition to the band 17, also include support for LTE in the band 4, which is the band that is used by several american carriers. LTE devices from Canada work also in BC4
WP DEVICES WITH LTE IN BC4:
For now, WP8 devices supporting LTE Band 4, are:
-HTC Windows Phone 8x (check that it is the GSM version with LTE in BC4, not to be confused with Verizon´s HTC 8x, nor the global version without LTE). There are variants of 8Gb and 16Gb of storage.
-Samsung Ativ S GT-i8750 (not to be confused with the version GSM/CDMA). With variants of 16 or 32 GB of storage
-Nokia Lumia 920.2 [RM-820]. Not to be confused with the Lumia 920 RM-821 which supports other LTE bands (European and others)
-Nokia Lumia 820.2 [RM-824]. Not to be confused with the Lumia 820 RM-825 which has European and other LTE bands
Specifications:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=3808&id2=3814&id3=3914&id4=3985&id5=3906&id6=3860
At the moment, I have no information if some trick is needed to operate the LTE in another network for which it was designed, (of course, assuming that both the device and the network has the appropiated LTE band, but the smartphones mentioned meet the requirement of hardware essential to be able to function in carriers with LTE LTE in BC4
For example, so far, I know the requirements to enjoy the LTE if the device was not purchased with the operator (Telcel Mexico case for now, but can serve as a reference for other operators):
-A unlocked device, which support the band LTE 4 (or AWS LTE, which is the same)
-Being in an LTE coverage area
-A Version 6 SIM Card
-Postpaid plan
-That the operators´s system enable your cell phone line as "LTE user"
-May or may not, be needed a minor operation, as in the case of the Nexus 4 you have to enter a service menu to change settings related to LTE (like Nexus 4); or edit the APN settings (like as was done with the 3G)
Europe
In Europe, LTE bands are used:
BC7 (this is in 2600MHz) used for LTE in most countries of the EU; Australia, etc
BC20 (this is in 800MHz) some European countries already in use as in France, Germany, etc.. (although in the same territory also use BC7); Australia
BC3 (this is in 1800MHz). Only a few countries use this as LTE band are: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, etc (although in the same territory also use BC7 and BC20). Australia uses BC3 too.
WP8 DEVICES THAT HAVE LTE IN BC7, AND LTE IN BC20:
Lumia 920 [RM-821], not to be confused with the American version.
Lumia 820 [RM-825], not to be confused with the American version.
UPDATE: Added:
-HTC 8X LTE C625b (LTE BC7 and LTE BC3)
Specs:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=4039&id2=3859&id3=3858
Note: Some Latin American operators are deploying LTE networks in LTE frequency BC7, as Entel in Chile, UNE in Colombia, so they falls in the second case (European style)
sorry for my bad english
In many European countries networks are already operational on 2600 Mhz. Some countries are allowing refarming of spectrum in the 1800 Mhz range. Some have already deployed in the spectrum of the digital dividend (switch to DVB-T) at around 800 Mhz, while other countries still have not given away those frequencies. It is safe to assume that most european networks will operate on a Mix of 800/2600 or 1800/2600.
The european versions of the Lumia 820/920 to my knowledge should support all three of those bands.

Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get an invite or able to buy online without one.

Over on howardforums they have a "take over my plan" section. Pretty frequently there people buy and sell unlimited Verizon and AT&T plans.
I paid the owner $250 for his unlimited AT&T plan.
Goodluck :good:
I'm really excited for this, but I'm curious as to how it will work on T-mobile HSPA. I live in an area that only gets 3G, but I'm mainly worried about the phone losing call signal. It seems to have the same frequencies as the Nexus 5, which I have and works fine for me. I should be okay, right?
Am I mistaken in reading that this phone will be carrier unlocked, as well as working on(w)CDMA?So all of sprints radio bands will work correctly.

It is carrier unlocked. WCDMA does not mean (w)CDMA it is WCDMA a completely different frequency. Verizon and sprint are not supported because they are CDMA. This phone does not support CDMA.

People always get confused with the wcdma and they think sprint and Verizon support
People dump your useless CDMA carriers and jump to gsm carrier. Have the freedom to get your own phone instead of the useless cdma carriers dictating what phones they carry.

wcmda is another name for umts, which is the 3g version of gsm. verizon whitelists imeis anyways. even though the nexus 5 has full band compatibility with verizon, they dont let you use it on their network. you have to use a verizon branded phone.
I'm wondering if Amazon will be able to sell the Oneplus One. It might get cheaper with gift cards .
I'm also wondering if things don't work out, we may get replacements from Amazon instead of sending or phones to China or HK?

They're not because it cost more to sell truth Amazon. This is why they didn't use amazon in the first place as international distribution.

[Q] SM-N910F

Does anyone know if the SM-N910F will get LTE service on AT&T in the United States?
I am looking for a definite answer as well from someone who has the F or the C. I would rather go with Internation if I am going to bring my own phone to AT&T
Has anyone seen/read any confirmation if a the N910F or N910U will work with the AT&T Network? I currently have the AT&T N910A and have only till the 25th to return it; phone cannot be rooted at this time and don't want to be stuck with it.
I'm reading conflicting reports saying the the N910U will work with AT&T, the N910C is exynos based and would like a Qualcom based version.
I ended up purchasing a SM-N910F. While it does work on the AT&T network I am getting 4G connectivity but no LTE indicator.

On your Note 4, can you go to mobile networks and change it to GSM only, then run another test and compare.
I think your Note 4 is running on HSPA+ only.

Look at my speedtest in signature: the Vodafone one is on 4G
You've the -F- (European) version of the Note 4; maybe your Note 3 is operating on a different (faster) LTE/4G band that is not supported on your Note 4!

I found this thread and was able to modify the frequency settings on my SM-N910F.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
Even though I still do not get a "4G LTE" icon in the status bar when I run LTE Discovery and SpeedTest the SM-N910F is matching my AT&T SM-N900A.

Sorry Bro, but 4G does not equal LTE. At least not in the US. A while back when 4G was an upcoming technology, carriers started pushing updates to the phones that made the phone display 4G even though it was actually running HSPA+ (3.5G). When LTE came out, the phones would still either display 4G or would display 4G LTE or just LTE. The only true way to tell if your phone is recognizing the LTE network is in your "About Device" Status screen under Mobile Network Type/State. That will tell you which network you are connected to, whether it be EDGE(2G), HSDPA(3G), HSPA+(3.5G/4G), or LTE(4G LTE).
AT&T is pretty tight lipped about their service. I have received many different answers depending on who you talk to at AT&T. The only thing I can suggest is to put the AT&T sim card it and make sure you have the APN configured correctly. The European model of the Note 4 actually has more LTE bands than the AT&T model. For quick reference, wikipedia states that AT&T in the US uses 2, 4, and 17.
Off of Samsung US for Note 4 AT&T:
SM-N910A - B2(1900) / B4(AWS) / B5(850) / B12(700) / B17(700)
Off of Samsung UK for Note 4 Europe Unlocked:
SM-N910F - B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B17(700), B20(800)
Interesting to note that the AT&T Note Edge has almost all the same LTE bands as the European Note 4.
Off of Samsung US for Note Edge AT&T:
SM-N915A - B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B17(700), B20(800)
So with that being said, just because it uses the same bands, doesn't mean that it will function properly on another carrier's network.
So, if you are having issues getting LTE, then you may be in an area that strictly uses Band 12 or there is a configuration issue somewhere. I would get with AT&T and hash out the configuration issue and AT&T will help you out if you bring an unlocked phone to their network. More often than not, it's an IMEI issue. Their IMEI to LTE database is very rigid and if I recall correctly only has the IMEIs for AT&T phones and no others. A bit closed minded in my opinion, but they won't change it.
Now, with all that being said, I want to make something perfectly clear. AT&T does not guarantee LTE service, even on their own phones. Though with the AT&T variation you will get LTE more often than the European variation. Doesn't seem like it would work that way, but that's why AT&T has their variation. It's been vetted by AT&T.

Will my Moto G4 Plus bought in India work in USA ?

I've ordered a new Moto G4 Plus off Amazon.in (Amazon for India) .

Now, take a look here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators_of_the_Americas#United_States
My Question is, will my device (the one bought in India) work in USA without any additional effort (like unlocking or something) ?
And IF unlocking is necessary to make my device work in the USA, please point me to the required resource .
Additionally, I'd like to show this to you :
Summarising the entire question in one sentence --> "Will a Moto G Plus 4th Gen bought in India work in USA ?"
Thanks people, in advance, for answering my question . Thank you :* .
The Indian model should be SIM unlocked, but it might be locked if you buy it through an Indian carrier (I don't know how it works over there). The Indian model has Quadband GSM, Triband HSPA, and LTE 1, 3, 5, 8, 40.
In the US, on AT&T you'll get 2G (850MHz and 1900MHz), 3G (850MHz), and in a few markets, LTE on Band 5 (which is also 850MHz). It's missing AT&T's primary LTE band 12/17, as well as LTE bands 2 and 4, and 3G on 1900MHz.
On T-Mobile, you'll get 2G on 1900MHz and that's it. It's missing 3G on 1700MHz/2100MHz and 1900MHz, and LTE Bands 2, 4, 12.
It will not work on Verizon or Sprint at all.

Ok.. what would you suggest me ?
Return this phone back and buy a new one in US ?
Or are there phones that I can buy here which will definitely work in USA ?

The US model of the G4 Plus has Triband CDMA, Quadband GSM, Pentaband (five-band) HSPA, and LTE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 25, 26, 41. It'll work on all major carriers, although some prepaid carriers do not allow unlocked phones as part of their own policy.
Compared to the Indian model, you're missing LTE Band 40. If Band 40 isn't important to you, get the US model.

Yes, the Indian version will work on AT&T US on 2G and 3G for calls/texts/data and WiFi for data.

I am also having the same problem. Did you find any solution?
By any chance, manual installation of Nougat usa release fix the problem?
