Hello All
I read that the phones coming to the US will be dual sim. I was wondering if anyone knew what LTE bands are available on this version. GSM Arena lists the bands but doesn't specify which version they're reviewing (I believe it's only out in Beijing right now). I'm in China right now but can't find the phone in the small city I'm in. I am planning a trip to Beijing next Sunday to go check it out... just wondering if it's even worth the effort... Any info anyone has would be appreciated...

Hi
I have Xiaomi Note 4G (China Unicom version) but I am unable to use it on FDD1800 band on Zong 4G network in Pakistan. I have a 4G SIM that works perfectly with my LG G2 D802 and Huawei E5375 (CMCC).
On the box its written both LTE TDD and FDD and it does show 1800 band but when I force it to LTE-Only using Phone Testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*), it goes to no service.
Is there a way I can test the phones capability regarding LTE FDD1800?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Shoaib

I just got my redmi note 4g yesterday, And as ar as I can see, in the Upper left corner it writes "Carriername 4g". So that should indicate if it works.
Diferent version of redmi note 4g?
hello,
I'm thinking of buying the terminal , but I have a doubt
Viewing Page Xiaomi singapore , hongkong and taiwan offering a 4G LTE version band frequencies LTE 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 , but I see in different Chinese pages to buy it appears redmi note 4G LTE but only with frequencies LTE 1800/2100 .
Anyone know if there are two LTE versions as might ensure you have the frequencies that advertise in singapore, hongkong etc.
Thank you .
there are 2 versions of the phone. One that is domestic China 4G and then there is the export version that supports FDD-LTE/WCDMA/GSM. I am running a 4G version in Hong Kong and its fast. Not a huge diff from my Sammy Note 3. For the price its like giving it away. Only thing now is how reliable it is. Sammy is super reliable.

Where can I purchase this Hong Kong version online? Please help me out
Is there anyone using a Huawei P8 in U.S. I'm new to android phones and using international phones. I am having trouble figuring out if I will be able to connect this phone to ATT or TMobile and get good data connection-coverage. Any help or comments about using this phone in U.S. Is appreciated.
Thanks
hi,
you can compare the frequencies that AT&T uses with the ones supported by your model (google that).
Anyway you shouldn't have any issues on AT&T.

The global version > GRA-L09 will support t-mobile bands in the US; not aware of the AT&T bands.
Hello!
I've bought a Chinese version of OP2 and it seems to be doesn't have Band 20 LTE support (800 MHz). :crying:
And I was wondering if it's possible to unlock the band like for OPO?
That's not known yet, but I've got my doubts.
I was scared as you after see that I bought the chinese version which doesn't have the 800mhz; but I checked on this site if my phone will work on the LTE of my carrier:
http://www.willmyphonework.net/
Fortunately it works. The real problem is that the chinese version, having only one IMEI, doesn't allow the use of dual sim outside of the China.
Hope your LTE works!

That's not true regarding the dual Sim, it works in standby mode and can be used when primary Sim is not in use (I know this as I have the Chinese version of the handset and I am using 2 Sim cards).

Yeah can confirm this is the same in Australia.
Yes I have LTE, I've checked before buying, but It still one of the Bands I would like to have (it works well inside the buildings).
And yes, bouth SIMs work in dual standby mode.
Has anyone tried using the same guide used in OnePlus One?

me too! I've also bought a chinese version of OP2 and I wanted to unlock band 20.
Also subscribing to the thread! I'm going another way: I have the American version and want to use it in Europe (Poland in particular, so I need band 3).
Has anyone tried the unlocking guides on OP2? Is it only a software issue or do the modems actually differ?

I haven't gotten them unlocked. I tried the opo method, denied. I'm using it on hspa+ and really can't tell any difference from LTE. Just my opinion.

I like use the band 800 in México LTE.
One person respond my question and the process to ONO no function.
Do you have information about other team/member working in this topic?
I followed the same procedure as oneplus two, but stuck on drivers installation.
Would be glad to have a solution on this.
I really need this I have messed up... I had to use a post forwarding service so I found a US one and I live in norway and got the US model.. I have asked if I can trade it for a EU one but they can't because of their policies.. Anyone know what band I need for it to work on LTE in Norway?

I think you can find something interesting reading information below:
With the OnePlus 2, we’ve taken some extra steps to ensure that our device works flawlessly in all the markets we support. A crucial component (no pun intended) is bands support. As you may be aware, LTE bands across the world differ significantly for various reasons (let’s talk about why that is some other time) and certain hardware restrictions make it so that you can only support so many bands in one device.
Thus, there is a trade-off between having all the bands and manufacturing complexity - the more bands you want to support, the more region-specific SKUs you have to create. We opted to make two different versions for two different regions - one EU/India, and one that we call North America. These are both OnePlus Global phones; they ship with Oxygen OS and the proper band support for your region. Besides those, there’s also the Chinese version that ships with Hydrogen OS and Chinese LTE support - this one is not available on oneplus.net (and is almost certainly the version you will get if you buy from anywhere else).
Here’s a breakdown of the differences (for EU/NA, bands in bold only available on that version):
Note that compatibility here refers to LTE, the fastest network currently available. The slower 2G/3G GSM frequencies (below referred to as GSM and WCDMA) are less fragmented and you should be able to get data almost worldwide with the included 2&3G bands regardless of the version. Use http://www.willmyphonework.net/ for easy reference.
EU/Asia
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/3/5/7/8/20
TDD-LTE: Bands 38/40/41
3 and 20 are used almost all over Europe, but not at all in North America. Band 8, although available in both versions, is used in Europe and India but is seeing increasing adoption worldwide.
North America
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
WCDMA: Bands 1/2/4/5/8
FDD-LTE: Bands 1/2/4/5/7/8/12/17
For NA, the removal of bands 3 & 20 allows us to add all the GSM bands you’ll need.
China
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
WCDMA: 1/2/5/8
TD-SCDMA: 34/39
TDD-LTE: 38/39/40/41
FDD-LTE: 1/3/7
The Chinese version will have very limited 4G compatibility in Europe and North America. More importantly, it only has one IMEI meaning you will not have dual-SIM capability outside of China. If you like having dual SIMs, do not buy the Chinese version.

Here is procedures to unlock LTE bands in Xiaomi Mi Note Pro. Both mobiles (Xioami and OP2) built same processor so maybe this method is for us. I did not tried it yet.

I was planing to ask my friend to get me a Nexus 6p from US and bring it over to Europe and I was wondering if there are different versions of Nexus 6P for US and Europe (with different sets of LTE bands ) ? Will I have a problem of using it with European GSM bands (specifically the LTE/4G) ?
Thanks

LTE/4G will be a problem
Agreed, the US version has less bands than the international version. It does not have band 8, which is what most of the UK's 4g network runs on. There are a few exceptions, but most of them work of band 8.

This, it's also missing band 20, which is used for 4G networks in the Netherlands and most of mainland Europe as far as I know. Basically a US Nexus 6P won't work on 4G/LTE in Europe.

Ahh, ok then :/ That was my shot to get this phone cheaper, it's ridiculous how expensive it is here compared to US .
Thanks for the response.
I know that here in Ireland Vodafone (my carrier) use both band 20 and band 3, with band 3 usage being more recent. I am doing my research at the moment but am hoping that if I get a US Nexus 6P I will be able to use it here with Vodafone LTE on band 3.
Crossing fingers,

Where can I find more info on these various nexus 6p variants?

US Version and International have the same amount of bands just different ones. No one in Europe runs on band 8. UK runs mostly on 3/7/20. So most likely you will get LTE coverage from your carrier unless you're with O2 or Vodaphone since they only support band 20.
US: 2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/25/26/29/30
International: 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/9/17/19/20/28
Use an app like LTE Discovery to see what band you're using in your most frequented places.

hi all, I have just purchased the awesome oneplus 2 locally BUT didn't realise that it is the Chinese model until i got home.
Unfortunately I am with Vodafone UK and 4G doesn't seem to work, so i was hoping someone had an idea on what i can do with regards to this?
Would flashing a radio help? Thanks in advance

Vodafone UK uses Band 20 & Band 7 for LTE & the Chinese OP2 (A2001) only has Bands 1, 3 & 7 enabled.
So, if you're not in a Band 7 area (very limited ATM), you won't be able to use LTE.
Flashing a radio won't help as the three different models have different bands enabled in hardware.
Only the European/Asian version (A2003) has Band 20 enabled.
Ref:
EU/Asia (A2003)
LTE: Bands 1/3/5/7/8/20
North America (A2005)
LTE: Bands 1/2/4/5/7/8/12/17
China (A2001)
LTE: 1/3/7
ah ok thanks for the reply mate I appreciate it, looks like im either stuck with the device on 3G until band 7 is rolled out or see if anyone local wants to swap ha
