lte band 71 is only used by t-mobile us, it should be the snapdragon.

Unfortunately, I don't think the Exynos model supports CDMA at all. It does support GSM models though, see https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...galaxy-s9-td-lte-samsung-star-2/united-states.

[Q] The EXACT bands of Nexus 9 LTE

I searched many times of websites on the lte bands of nexus 9 lte, but no, I've not got an exact spec of the lte bands that Nexus 9 LTE supports.
Until now I've got details of it from ht##tp://ww##w.bh##photovideo.c##om/c/product/1087410-REG/htc_99hzj002_00_nexus_9_volantis_32gb.html which the bands are
2.5G (EDGE, GSM/GPRS) MHz:850, 900, 1800, 1900
3.5G (HSPA+, UMTS/WCDMA) MHz:850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100
3.5G (CDMA2000, EV-DO) MHz:850, 1900
4G (LTE) Bands:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 19, 25, 26, 41

Now I'm sure whether this is right, are they the exact bands of Nexus 9 LTE?
I've got a Nexus 9 LTE from US to China, all three carriers have deployed either TDD-LTE or FDD-LTE, so I'm wondering whether I can use the LTE network with Nexus 9 LTE in China.
According to the specs above, it seems that it would work at TDD-LTE band 41 which China Mobile supplies, but I only got an EDGE with the 4G-SIM card inserted.
However China Unicom gives FDD-LTE band 3 network and China Telecom gives FDD-LTE band 1 network. Only lack of experiments.
The supported bands might be different depending on where the device is bought.
From the HTC site: http://www.htc.com/us/tablets/nexus-9/
Network (see note below)
2G/2.5G - GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G - WCDMA:
850/900/AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps
4G - LTE:
Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,20
NOTE: Network bands in regions may be different, depending on the mobile operator and your location. 4G LTE only available in select countries. Upload and download speeds also depend on the mobile operator.
Built-in memory and connectivity vary by model. Wi-Fi only Nexus 9 features 16GB memory, and LTE Nexus 9 model features 32GB. Please see your local carrier for complete details.
data point for you: i have t-mobile spec nexus 9 bought in us. in hong kong a csl sim shows lte data status. speedtest showed 20mbit up and 20mbit down so i think its working fine. csl web site said bands 3 and 7 iirc.
csl web site: https://www.hkcsl.com/en/index.html
I actually clicked more than one website to bring you this info.

Looks like it's back in stock at store.htc.com for $359 for the LTE.
http://store.htc.com/store?Action=C...104_G - US - NAM - HTC - PS - Tablet - B&Ps=1
So from my Internet searching, here are the differences between the Nexus 9 LTE International vs. the USA device.
Nexus 9 Part# 0P82200 (EU/ASIA) handles LTE bands 1,2,3 ,4,5,7,8, 20
Nexus 9 Part# 0P82300 (US) handlesLTE bands 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 41
What does this mean to us in the USA?
It means that if you buy the USA Nexus 9 then you're good to go for all USA major carriers.
But if you buy the International Nexus 9, then you're hurting yourself as follows:
Verizon missing band 13 (which it uses for most of its LTE).
AT&T missing band 17.
T-Mobile missing band 12.
Sprint missing all LTE bands.
US Cellular missing band 12.
Here is a list of what USA carriers use which bands:
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/02/0...sm-cdma-wcdma-lte-verizon-att-sprint-tmobile/
Oddly enough, the HTC USA website indicates that the Nexus 9 LTE it sells is capable of only the International bands listed above.
So I called HTC @ 866 449 8358 on 12/26/2015 @ 12:30PM CST and spoke with "Daniel" who advised that if I'm in the USA and purchase from the USA HTC website, then I will be shipped the USA version of this tablet.

Open/unlock LTE Band 4 and Band 7

I have searched on the internet that Redmi Note 4 hardware supports LTE Band 4 and Band 7, but the MIUI 8 itself locks those two bands.
I am located in North America that only those two LTE bands supported. Is there a way to open those two bands ?
at the moment, my phone can only use 3G.
thanks
Do you mean this?
I see band 7 but not band 4.
I had a look in here before too see if any bands were not enabled but there is only the one (AWS 1700)

Yes so band 4 it seems is not enabled by default.
It looks like anything in the table that is greyed out cannot be enabled so I am assuming that it's hardware dependant.
The only band that isn't greyed out & that can be enabled is as I noted before (AWS-1700)
Sorry I forgot that :/

yes, you are right, Note 4 only support following Bands :
FDD-LTE:Band 1 / 3 / 5 / 7 / 8
TDD-LTE:Band 38 / 39 / 40 / 41
Another question, Fido (the carrier here) supports Band 7 , but my phone cannot get the LTE mode, only 3G max . Do I have to enable band 7 manually ?
thanks
My provider uses Band 7, no problems connecting to 4G for me.

I see there are more UMTS bands available than what are enabled.
It's not a possibility to enable LTE Band 20 (800MHz), is it?
Recently ordered one and expected I'd have to live with Band 1 (2100MHz) and Band 3 (1800MHz) here in Norway
If Band 20 is available but just secretly disabled, that'd be very nice.
Checked in the engineer mode. The following bands are enabled by default :
FDD-LTE:Band 1 / 3 / 5 / 7 / 8
TDD-LTE:Band 38 / 39 / 40 / 41
I just enable the AWS 1700 ans Press set, but when I reboot the phone, it goes back to disable ?
Since Redmi Note 4X and Redmi Note SD have the same hardware, can the LTE bands unlocked in Note 4X be unlocked in Note 4 SD as well. Or is it possible to unlock the bands by the process in the Oneplus and Sony sections for Quallcomm devices?
Can you unlock band 2, 12 and/or 17 on global version of the the Redmi Note 4? (the one with band 4 and 20)
My Note 4 SD625 can't enter that engineering​ mode. But my LTE works fine here in Malaysia. But it's not that fast compared to my LG G4. Is Redmi N4 supports an LTE-A network? I've seen the SD625 specification and it supports advanced LTE, but my N4 aren't fast enough for only 2mb/s over my G4's 5mb/s on actual download speed.
well redmi note 4x in taiwan and hong kong has lte band 4 http://www.mi.com/hk/redminote4x/specs/
is it a diferent hardware as in redmi note 3 pro with kenzo and kate phones?
雙卡使用說明:
兩張 SIM 卡不能同時使用 4G 網絡,
當其中一張 SIM 卡為 4G 網絡時,另外一張 SIM 卡為 3G/2G 網絡。
網絡頻段:

TDD-LTE B38/B40

GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz (B2/B3/B5/B8)
I'm curious if the Note 4 Global can have Band 28 unlocked. I had the Kate prior to this and it had band 20 and 28, not sure why they couldn't have Band28 on the Redmi Note 4 Global

That doesn't work on my Redmi note 4 global edition. (4x) I'm trying to figure out if there is band 4 unlocked on this or if they sent me the wrong version.

Any break throughs on lte band unlocking? I edited my line 6828. I power off the phone. Power back on and check signal guru. Guru shows same lte bands at before editing line NV 6828. Is there another NV line for lte? Please assist as I saw no change in enabled bands when editing that line.
When I wiped data for signal guru it showed the bands I unlocked. No extra bands have worked on the 4x for me tho.
I opened the NON-HOLS modem bin and was digging around in the code. I was unsuccessful at putting the code from a global MI note 2 modem onto mido. Someone also modified their boot.img and was able to tell the phones which bands to use. I was unsuccessful on both endeavor

I have the same question in my mind too. I'm not connected to lte-A network although I'm in the zone. Wonder how to unlock it.

Galaxy S9+ unlocked Exynos model compatible with LTE 71 600MHz

Hi everyone
I've seen here that the US snapdragon is compatible with the LTE 71 600MHz frequency ==> http://piunikaweb.com/2018/03/21/samsung-confirms-band-71-support-unlocked-galaxy-s9s9/
Our european exynos model SM-G965F get it too ? How to see this and with wich app ?
Thank you so much and have a nice Android day ! ^^
You can download LTE discovery app and see if you get it if you are in coverage area for band 71, but I don't think Exynos has band 71 support.

Hi Guys,Any scope to enable 4G Band 1 and Band 41 in Redmi Note 4?

Any scope to enable 4G Band 1 and Band 41 in Redmi Note 4?
In Pune, Maharashtra Vodafone has launched 4G in Band 1 as well as Band 41 and both of these are not supported by Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon version.
Is there any means that additional 4G bands like Band 1 and Band 41 be enabled or only option is to sell the rubbish phone and go for any other compatible handset?

It's not possible to unlock LTE bands.

General Incorrect information on bands.

I didn't expect this phone to have 4 and 12 which is Tmobile but it was able to connect to it. It does say on specs that it has Band 41.
I use the LTE Discovery and I'm very surprise to see those bands being connected.
On North American version of redmagic website it says 1, 3, 7, 8, 20 and 28.
Tmobile 4g lte uses 2,4,5, 12 and 71 and 5g uses 41.
