[Q] German SGSII - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Simple question,
Does the German version SGSII, MPN GT-I9100LKAXEU work on ATT 850/2100 HSDPA network? Or for that matter all bands on HSDPA.
Thanks
R2142

Att hspa network is 850\1900, so if it has this bands then it will work.

Can anyone tell me for certain that this phone has the 850 band for HSDPA?
I cant find any definite tech specs that specify.

All Sprint Worldphones are unlocked out of the box. So to answer your question.....Yes, you can use the Photon on non-US GSM networks.
Just insert your sim and talk away but i think it runs on 1900mhz or is it 1700mhz either way no 2100mhz band for 3g

hello, a question and I thank those who replied to me.
4g use the photon in Europe, setting network on GSM / UMTS, but when you restart the phone the setting is not saved.
because 'every time I do the setting.
A patch a program to solve the problem?

T-Mobile 3G?

Hi guys, I am involved in a deal regarding an international GSII, and have been reading conflicting reports on this.. GSM arena says it supports the 1700 and 2100 bands but I have read other things that say it only receives EDGE?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Forgot it is 1700 (should be), that is not supported on the i9100. It can connect to tmobile due toe the 850, which is edge speed.
GSMarena says the i9100 supports 1700 only for telus (another variation of i9100 probably)
Yes, T-Mobile needs the 1700 and 2100 bands but GSM arena says it does indeed have both so I'm a bit confused.

From GSMarena:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
The one below that is probably another variation of the i9100 for telus.
Well ****. Guess I gotta pick up a hotspot as well.

[Q] Can I Change GSM bands to 900/1800?

I was wondering if it were possible to use my phone in China this summer. The network I would like to use (China Mobile) is using the GSM bands 900/1800. Is there any way to convert my phone to use those bands?
Thanks.
No. The radio/modem only works on the manufacturer specified frequencies.
Um. The i717 is quadband GSM and it supports 850/900/1800/1900 2g or GSM.
Of course it will work! But only on 2g and only if unlocked.

I see, I looked it up as well and it seems as though it supports the following bands:
2G Network GSM 850/1800/1900
3G Network HSDPA 850/900/1700/1900/2100
Hopefully I'll be able to just plug it in and go. I've networked unlocked my phone, but are there are any other limitations set by AT&T for usable bands?

A question regarding frequencies

Hello. i was on GSMArena and came across this
I see it says HSDPA 1700 / 2100 / 1900 - for Telus but does that mean this phone has those frequencies? Cause i thought this was for the telus people?
Anyone? im a bit confused..
That is the supported frequencies and carriers around the world uses that.

So the i9100 supports the 1700 band? So if I unlocked it I could get 3g service from T-Mobile here in America?

Well, yes and no, but really no for what you're asking.
The i9100 does NOT support 1700mhz for UMTS, but does for voice. So as a result, it does NOT get 3g on T-mobile, since T-mobile in the US uses AWS for high speed packet data, which requires BOTH 1700 and 2100 for 3g/"4g".
I wouldn't trust that GSM Arena spec page.

AT&T 3G i9300 in USA?

Ok, so I had to sell my i9305 because of lack of any data connection above 2G/Edge on AT&T for my area due to frequencies that they use here.
How many people in the USA are using an unlocked international i9300 on AT&T and getting 3G+ data??

Nobody in the US has an i9300?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
It works and you get hspa+
I'm on AT&T as well with the i9300 that I won from Engadget.com and it works just fine. H+ all the way for me as well.
Thanks guys, I appreciate the responses. I spent 700 beans on an i9305 to find out it didnt work. Just wanted to see if the i9300 worked. One more question, Do you guys have the LTE versions or the non-LTE?
Firstly, GT-I9300 supports 1900MHz for sure but 1900MHz WCDMA support on GT-I9305 is based on different region. For example your GT-I9305 has no 1900MHz 3G but the GT-I9305 sold in Hong Kong supports 1900MHz WCDMA.
Secondly, it is quite meaningless to buy LTE phone outside and use it in the US because only Bell and Rogers Wireless support LTE 2600MHz, you will not be able to use LTE network on AT&T.
You may use the any Korean LTE version(SHV-E210S/SHV-E210K/SHV-E210L) because the all supports 1900MHz WCDMA. Or otherwise, you may use the AT&T model of Galaxy S3.
I am using SHV-E210S, there is no SIM lock on the phone.

Thanks for the info, though I had an i9305 Hong Kong version and it did Not get 3G or 1900MHz, I could not even select it. I was hoping the 9300 would be different.
