Does installing oxygen (from hydrogen) change the bands that device operates on? - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to get an Op2 but don't wanna wait to be given an invite so I was looking at getting the Chinese version. However, it does not operate on the same bands as the north american. I read something that said that the os changes the bands and not the device its self.
"The general feeling in the OnePlus community is that the hardware on both phones is exactly the same and only the OS changes what bands and frequencies the phone uses." -
So does this mean we can just install oxygen on the Chinese version and you will have coverage in North america? It seems hard for that to be the case because the north american version and the EU/asia version both use oxygen correct? Yet if you look at the difference between the eu/asia, north american and chinese versions. You will you see that there are differences in the bands that the eu/asia model use and the northamerican model use.

Does US version of LG Nexus 5 work in Denmark(EU)

Hello guys
I'am going to get myself the new Nexus 5 in the nearest future, but I'am wondering if I can use a US model here in Denmark with the different LTE bands. I don't have much knowledge about this myself, but I do know that there's a difference
- So can you tell me if I can use 4g LTE in Denmark with a US version of LG Nexus 5. And is there anything I need to look out for if I import a US version to EU in general?
2G/3G/4G LTE
North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
Rest of World:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
I'm not an expert but, is not enough have the same gsm frequency?

"Droid Turbo" EUROPE?

Heya all,
anyone know if some GSM Europe version of this phone will be release in near future?
I know there comes some other models, under diferent name, but not sure if EU
All infos are welcome here.
Cheers
Yeah, it will make for an interesting dilemma for me if we ever get the Droid Turbo or Galaxy Note Edge in the UK..
Bands that Turbo support are: Networks and Bands
CDMA/EVDO Rev A (850, 1900MHz)
LTE Cat 4 (bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13)
Carrier Aggregation (B4+13)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100MHz)
2G and 3G should work in Europe, but what about 4G?

All carriers?

Will the One +2 be for Verizon, Sprint, Att, Tmobile and others? Or just GSM only or CDMA as well? Thanks guys, I have heard mixed comments on this which is why I ask.
Why can't you check for yourself ? Here are the bands
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20

Well I did check prior to asking the question and maybe I should have worded it differently. I am just not familiar with what WCDMA is or how the bands effect what carrier you can use it on. For instance, I saw that it supports WCDMA, and sprint which I have is CDMA. What's the difference?
Here are the bands that OnePlus say the Two supports:
https://oneplus.net/2/specs
Connectivity:
(North America version)
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/4/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/2/4/5/7/8/12/17
Click to expand...

And here is at least what one website says Verizon uses:
https://www.wilsonamplifiers.com/frequencies-by-provider
Unfortunately, every website says something a little different.
So, I have no idea if the Two will fully function on Verizon's network.
My guess is "no"
In contrast, here are the bands the OnePlus One supported and it did NOT work on Verizon AFAIK.
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The only real difference is that the Two has added LTE bands 4 & 8.
Verizon does sound like it uses LTE band 4 but I don't know enough about bands to know if that is enough, etc.

Redmi 3S - Global version vs Chinise

I have a question about hardware difference between Xiaomi Redmi 3S China version and the Global one.
I thought that the only difference is the EU-plug, but I noticed this item on aliexpress with LTE B20 (800MHz) support.
I asked the seller about it and the seller insists that all of that is true.
Can someone confirm or deny this situation?

i don't think that there is any hardware difference
it's one device
the one with global rom , i guess it has the adapter , google services (and play) and some chinese apps removed

well the only think that i am sure is that as an european is difficult to find the "india" version
(because i know -and can buy from - only chinese stores)
also 2 band for lte is weird so i guess it's just a rom limitation or just incomplete list of specs (because it doesn't matter for India the other bands)
p.s. i don't see roms only for india , i only see china and global roms
Their hardwares should be same.
Charger different
China version don't have Google Play service+bandwidth those stuffs should be different?
so... any more infos about the 800MHz FDD-LTE support ?
anyone tried to unlock the bootloader on a chinese version and flashing a xiaomi.eu multilang rom to see if B20/800 is available ?
This is of great interest to me too. I want to buy two Redmi 3s's, but need B20 as well. If it's as easy as flashing the global/international ROM, it would save me lots of $$. Has anyone tried this and succeeded using B20 on a Chinese 3s?
I bought the international version of Redmi 3s, and the B20/800 is working! Also arrived with official global ROM

No. There's should not be and hardware differences until it comes to Mobile Broadband frequencies, but i think this is software dependent. As you flash Global or Chinese you choose frequencies probably. I use Global Stable with Root and some tools and it's just fine.

Thank you!
So I have 2016031. If the information I provided above is correct, that means I have all necessary bands for Europe.
The problem is I found different information here:
============
Xiaomi: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/redmi-3s-with-lte-b20-800mhz.33957/
2016030 is 32gb version
2016031 is 16gb version
Both without b20
https://www.frequencycheck.com/mode...i-3s-4g-redmi-3s-dual-sim-td-lte-32gb-2016030
https://www.frequencycheck.com/mode...i-3s-4g-redmi-3s-dual-sim-td-lte-16gb-2016031
============
2016031 is 16gb version THIS IS STRANGE RIGHT, I HAVE 32GB VERSION and it is model 2016031
What is correct?
I have model 2016031 with 32Gb - do I have LTE B20 (800) and LTE B8 (900) or not?
I hope someone knows?

Yes, you do.
I have the same model and ROM capacity.
Look at my october post, you can find there links to official Xiaomi pages with the band availability information.
There is no information about model numbers there, but it was confirmed by many users.
Thank you for your help!
I see indeed all the bands under specifications.
I am very happy.
