Pixel XL Indian Discussion Thread

We have a Indian thread... I guess some will buy....
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app

I guess no one is going to buy.

I guess it too early to ask but does anyone know if the antenna and band situation is like iPhone where is its the same globally or are they dissecting and shipping limited antenna bands based on regions.. reason i ask is if its global then i can buy it from US without worrying about network and LTE support here in India.

It's the same globally.. for the 1st time.... And it's got all the bands that iPhone 7....

I'll buy it if Flipkart has similar cashback offers as they have for the iPhone. If I can get 10k cashback on this, I'll go for it. Otherwise, probably the HTC 10 for me.

I think will have to check the reviews and in-hand experience to judge whether it deserves such a premium price.

57k is stupidly expensive. I'm hoping Flipkart will give some good cash back or other offer. That's the only way I'm buying it.

Google has made its own image as iGoogle. I m Google fan boy, had nexus 4 and now nexus 5. Its running on 7.0 . And I was just planning to upgrade to Pixel as 649$ equals to ₹43000 around but now flipkart says ₹57k!!
Now All I get is an aluminum body & camera with UL storage.
Rest OS is gonna same. In dilemma now.

Update: Flipkart says delivery by 14th. Still no offers

Isnt it going to ship from the 20th in the US? I would be very surprised if India got it before... That flipkart thing is probably just a placeholder.

But, it's not the same globally. The bands are similar, but there are 2 different release models depending on country of purchase.

Did they send you the Flipkart voucher? What's the valdity of the voucher? 1 year? I'm thinking of getting it but I'm worried about the battery, display and the lack of space.

Not going to upgrade from my 6P unless the price goes down to 40s and if the reviews are good.

Upgrade from nexus 5 or wait it out?
I'm thinking of upgrading my Nexus 5. But the pricing seems a little out of my reach, should I wait another year or go for Nexus 6p?

Will a US bought phone work in India across on all network types? (2G, 3G ,4G) Thanks if anyone can help

Samsung Galaxy Note LTE (Korean Version) support T-Mobile USA HSPA+?

Anyone knows it this thing supports TMobile 1700/2100 AWS Band? I am eagerly waiting for this device that will support TMobile USA AWS band/Wind Mobile Canada or Penta Band.
Or at least 3g?
As it was just announced, your going to have to wait a bit for details. As fare as well know its the same Note as ever, just with LTE compatibility on Korea.(which would NOT work on T-Mobile)
I read 1.5Hz 32gb and all bands.

jkjk...
but seriously, want the damn Galaxy Note on TMobile...
Hey, so there's been a lot of discussion on whether or not the new S.Korean version of the SGN will support the 1700mHz band.
It has been reported that it is CDMA.
If you go to wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies
and go down 3/4 of the page to where it says "Other Regions" you'll see the following:
"CDMA S. Korea 1750–1780 1840–1870"
That would seem to say that it will indeed support T-Mobile...
thoughts?

I don't understand. T-Mobile uses GSM. CDMA is a different technology than GSM. Why would you expect a CDMA phone to be usable on a GSM network?
Hey thanks! Whew, got a bit excited seeing the 1700 band in there, but if their 1700 band is only for CDMA, then you are quite right... no tmobile... but then verizon people could start getting excited...
-GT
Sigh, if this phone had T-Mobile bands, I would pay with cold hard cash right now. =(
Sucks that we can't even get the Exynos version of this, at least not for another year until Samsung makes a new phone with a new SoC that sports T-Mobile's bands.
Ditch T-Mobile and get straight talk. T-Mobile sucks anyway.
I just gotta ask.... why do people say T-mobile sucks?
I don't understand as I've only ever had great reception with them and great speeds. Plus my phone bill is smaller than if I went to AT&T, and I get more data and minutes. I have many times over the years been with friends or family who can't get reception on AT&T or Verizon and there I am rockin it on T-Mobile. In fact, some of my friends who use AT&T have started saying "More dropped calls in More places" about their AT&T service.
I mean if someone said AT&T sucks, I'd totally agree. They charge an arm and a let, they limit your data, and give you crap for minutes, and from what I see my friends experience, their coverage sucks in comparison to T-Mobile.
But that's just been my friends and family and my experience.
GT
-UPDATE-
Oh yeah, and if you're checking out the threads here, you'll see loads of people having issues with AT&T now shutting down their data on their SGN. So... AT&T doesn't really seem like a ride I want to buy a ticket for.
Who said anything about AT&T? I said straight talk. They use AT&T towers but have much better pricing. T-Mobile sucks because their phone selection is lacking and now because of their frequencies, you can't even get the Note.

How does the pricing look like on Straight Talk?
Been out of contract for close to a year now, just rocking an old HD2 that still works. Been so itchy with all these giga-sized screen phones.
Any new information available?
Hey guys I was it a store in Italy today they carry the note for purchase without a contract on this company called TIM.
I checked the specs on the box it has the correct T-Mobile bands.

Samsung SM-N910T is LTE CAT 4 ONLY? Who is ready for Note 4?

According to this... (bottom) :
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4_id8577
And this:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-N910TZWETMB-specs
It seems only the international version is LTE CAT 6... I thought it was the opposite, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 was the LTE CAT 6...
Also, according to this...

The international octa core version should perfectly work on T-Mobile? With LTE and HSPA+ perfectly?
Because if the international version of the N4 this time works perfectly on T-Mobile, then there is no reason to buy the T-Mobile version... International version is Octa Core, plus LTE CAT 6 / 300mbps... Instead of Quad Core LTE CAT 4 / 150mbps...
-> The outcome of this post, will determine what I will buy...
Can someone confirm, or let me know correct information? Thanks...
On the International model your missing Band 2 , 4 , 12 for the lte bands. The specs are all over the place, on Samsung site Att, and Verizon show as CAT 6, and Tmobile shows CAT 4. Even though their all the Snap Dragon version.

All the Qualcomm models will support Cat6, but only the Exynos version in korea will support Cat6, there rest will be Cat4 or just 3g.

Latest news about availability for US and Canada xda members

To keep it short:
1. The international version of MT7-TL10 still does not support FDD B4, aka AWS, NA specific LTE for T-Mobile, ATT, Verizon, etc.
2. There is no release date for NA, due to CPU. Hisilicon Kirin CPU is prohibited entering the NA market.
3. The international model MT7-L09 supports AWS network.
We will have no further news about Mate 7 for NA xda members in the future. If you are looking for L09, we can bring that to NA if you are interested in.
The most accurate resource to check the compatibility here:
FCC LTE Dashboard
I just wanted to make sure I understood, so you're saying the 3Gb RAM models will not work on the AWS bands?
The MT7-L09 only seems to the 2Gb model.
@H. Clarkson
We got the international MT7-TL10 already. that comes with the identical frequency bands as that of Chinese version.
It seems that only the L09 will work in NA.

This is a special order we exclusively have from HUAWEI (it is not supposed to be sold in China). Since we are not positive how many USA and Canada xda members would order from us, we only book 5 units for the initial dispachment. The Obsidain Black unit (only one unit) has already been booked by a xda developer member here. The Moonlight Silver unit is ready to be booked. The shipment will arrive at our store on Tuesday and we can ship it on Wednesday. If you are a T-Mobile user, L09 is ready to fly! If you are a ATT user, it is fine as well, we think, since it covers AWS LTE.
Our business is based in China and therefore foreign buyers do not pay sales tax to our Government. The special price in our store is set for USA and Canada members, DHL Express included. It takes no more than 4 business days to arrive at USA.
What is the difference between L09 and L10? Thanks.

2 vs 3 GB RAM and 16 vs. 32 GB ROM. The RAM makes a difference for heavy users, and L10 will soon support two independent Android systems.
So another 5 units (all black) are arriving this Friday.
mate 7 from amazon US legit?
This 3rd party seller is selling on Amazon US and claims LTE should work on AT&T with these LTE bands:
LTE FDD Band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28 (Aphase) LTE TDD Band 40 UMTS 850/900/1900/2100/AWS MHZ .
Is this legit? If phone does have these bands, does that mean it should work on Tmobile USA also?

The fact that you don't have to deal with customs and the high shipping rates is enough for me.. I ordered one today and will have it Wednesday.. If it doesn't work with at&t lte I'll send it back.. $549 flat is a chance I'll take..

We have refunded you the full amount.
@l81tlons If that third party seller labels the model (for instance, L09) that will clear the question you have. From what we see on their page, we guess that is L09. That is a "small family owned" (their own description) company but that worth a try if you get the Amazon protection.
We just want to mention that, if any business company is to bring over 20+ phones to USA for commercial sales, a commercial importation tax is unavoidable and that company has to voluntarily report to USA customs. At that price offered from that third party seller, we can only think the commercial importation tax is avoided by some "unconventional" means, of which we cannot do and will not do in the future. Please forgive us for the "high", or regular, price. We run legal business for over 14 years.
For ATT network, if you consider HSPA+ as a part of LTE, yes you will get it. However, it depends on the region, and in some regions, you get full LTE and in some, drop to HSPA+, which is still fast. Give that third party seller a minute, not returning the phone if you cannot receive LTE in your region. We have sort of sympathy for them.
If USA and Canada xda members have further questions, please leave your comments here and @ us. We will check and answer periodically.
Have a nice day everyone here!

Thank you. :good:
I'm planning on using this phone on Wind Mobile here in Canada (if I can decide between this and another phone).
Wind Mobile runs on UMTS IV frequency band (HSPA/HSPA+ AWS frequency 1700/2100). But if this phone runs on T-Mobile then it's guaranteed to run on Wind also.
I'm also seeing one seller on Amazon Canada but it's only for the 16GB MT7-UL00.
Will I get "4G" with any model, or is this phone bound to 3G on the AWS band? If the better model you're offering can do 4G here then I'm interested in a 32GB ROM/3GB RAM version also, but I won't be buying one for a couple weeks yet, have to sell my Note3. Cheers!

We have sold an unit to Canada, and it is guaranteed to work with LTE there.
If it is UL00, it does NOT support LTE, even 3G, in Canada. You have to buy the L09 model, L09 we repeat. You can purchase from us (readily available) or from Amazon USA, whichever you trust and/or more convenient for you.
We had the international TL10 (3/32) but it does not support AWS. Therefore, if you are to purchase a fully functional Mate 7, then L09 model is the only choice for you.
The Amazon seller posted above does list the device as the L09. I lost interest for a while because Huawei couldn't seem to get their act together and actually sell the phone. But that is a good price from that Amazon seller, so I may just pull the trigger.

"dev" version of the Droid Turbo XT1254

From a Verizon subscriber:
RL_Wells said:
I recently broke my XT1254 and replaced it with an XT1250 I purchased on jet.com. I am running the latest RR 6.0 rom after trying stock 4.4.4 and CM 12.1.

Kudos to you, sir -- for being smart enough to buy the "dev" version of the Droid Turbo XT1254 to replace your broken XT1254 to run on Verizon.
The dev version being the one without the locked-down bootloader, the XT1250. Bootloader easily unlockable from Motorola, for free.
I know I've tried to spread the word... and I know many people have bought the XT1250 to run on Verizon with a Verizon SIM card -- but yours is the first hand report of actually replacing your XT1254 with an XT1250 that I've read here on XDA. There may be others, but your story caught my eye.
Also, I didn't know jet.com (a wholesale site, much like Costco, Sam's Club) had new ones for sale. Until now people were either buying 2nd hand XT1250 on eBay. For "new", they were having to go through the U.S. regional CDMA/LTE carriers who were selling them -- sometimes at outrageous prices.
So, for those of you who took the recent OTA and permanently locked your boootloaders -- sell your borked phone on Swappa and here's the dev replacement.
Here's the jet.com listing for the new XT1250. It's the U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 -- has CDMA and Verizon's LTE bands. Same FCC ID, same device as the XT1254. Yeah, Verizon LIED that the XT1254 was "exclusive" in any way. Wasn't even exclusive to them in the U.S.
(At least a dozen regional CDMA/LTE carriers sold this XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx, with the same FCC ID, same radio bands, same hardware. It's the EXACT SAME Quark Verizon sold, just under a different model name.)

(Edit, they also now have them on Amazon for $280-$300. But the price below -- $245 for first time Jet.com users is MUCH better.)
Thanks @ChazzMatt - I probably would not have known the xt1250 existed without the info. you have posted in the past. As this is my 3rd quark, I didn't want another refurb which could have the lastest firmware which locked down the susnhine exploit or risk asurion being out of 1254 stock and getting a Turbo 2.
Also, although the price you stated is correct, if you create a jet.com account, your first purchase you make you get 30% off so price I paid with free shipping was $230, only $55 more than the asurion deductible and sunshine.
It was actually only 15% off - total price 245.
I had it confused with something else I purchased recently
My employer paid the $199 upgrade fee for my XT1254 when my DROID Mini took a "hard hit" on the floor and killed the screen. Thankfully,
I've been thinking about picking up a XT1250 for the wife though, so, thanks for the info!

Just went back to the link on jet.com and it's says now it's "currently unavailable". WOW. Sold out fast. Maybe they'll get some more in! They were in stock just two days ago.
Well, they are still available on Amazon.com. One new black one left, and several red ones. Plus some "used" ones from other sellers.
Verizon just dropped the price on XT1254 to $200 NIB, so I picked one up to play with. It came with 44 installed, so unlocking the boot loader was trivial.

After the disappointing new lineup, maybe I just buy another one for replacement or for give as a gift, this is a solid buy.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 North America Users Experience Discussion

I am opening this thread with the intention of enabling a discussion among the North American users (current/prospective).
It appears that Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon variant) is the logical choice for north american user, as it includes few of the 4G bands.
So, how is the network experience with the major cell phone carriers? Which firmware/rom includes those bands? AOSP/Global/China? Does VOLTE work?
I have been using the RN3P for the last couple weeks. I am in the Florida area in T-Mobile network, and really happy to see that I get 4G LTE most of the time. It's the band 4 according to the LTE Discovery app.
I have tried a bunch of different roms, including global stable, aosp and developer beta. I have observed that the network is much better with the developer MM roms. I am currently using the Epic ROM based on the developer rom, and I think I shall use it as my daily driver.

Connected to LTE with Rogers and Koodo (Telus Band 4 AWS). I ordered the china model which shouldn't have included Band 4 (if you believe the information on all the china sellers sites), and confirmed it's not Kate model as it is only 150mm tall.

That's good to know. There are so many variants of this device, it's really confusing. I ordered mine from Gearbest last week, who knows when it will show up. The problem with these Chinese retailers is that sometime they themselves don't know what they have. I guess I have to see what I get. I just hope that mine also supports band 4, which T-mobile in USA also uses.
Are you still using China firmware? Does the china model come with Google Playstore?

most networks will work on the note 3 Snapdragon version (kenzo).
the Kate or aka Note 3 Special Edition model supports a additional 'band 20' which afaik is not used in the USA (someone confirm?)
the Mediatek note 3 Hennessy most likely doesn't have good usa network support
so make sure you get the kenzo or kate model, though I would stick with kenzo since the kate doesn't have as good of support or accessories

Mine came with Global 8.0.1.0 installed, prerooted, and unofficial bootloader unlock. I flashed official 8.0.1.0 global from tgz file, which then relocked the bootloader. I have done the official unlock with the same 8.0.1.0 official stable with no problems.
It came with Google Playstore, and some gapps (not all).
Anyone tried AOSP roms in north america? Does it also get the lte coverage?
I have heard privacy concerns from many people MIUI roms. May be rumors, may be not. But I don't wanna take the risk.
Can anyone compare the performance between MIUI and AOSP roms?

How are your speeds on LTE? With tmobile, I'm rarely able to break 10mbps on my kenzo.

I have seen a video on youtube where he compared it with a iphone speed, and it got around 100mbps (the iphone beat it by a few mbps) , but it's definitely capable of fast speeds, though it probably depends on the network / bands, single strength and local isp speeds...

Signal is always strong when I test but it's always slow. Tested 2.5/1.1 earlier today with full bars. My settings are correct AFAIK. Would you happen to know which vid this was and by whom?

I have on hand experience with Umi Super. Which carrier you are on? With T-mobile Umi Super had really poor data connection. Barely got 3g, I couldn't even stream a YouTube video. I don't think it has any north american band. It's a decent phone for the price, but do your research first.
In Florida with T-Mobile network, using band 4.
I recommend changing the default apn settings to fast.t-mobile.com one, which better result for me.
