[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Skinhead1967:
When I saw the UK prices, it really baulked me.

I wanted a tablet that not only worked on Wi-Fi, but 3G, 4G/LTE, but I couldn't get one, especially a 32Gb model, which I consider to be the basement model (I wouldn't even consider a 16Gb).

I nearly paid the extra for an Ipad, however I decided to do more research and in the end I imported one from HK and even when I paid the VAT on it, it came in significantly cheaper than some of the prices of the 16Gb, Wi-Fi model.

It's worth doing a little extra research and importing it yourself and get a better specified machine, at a lower price.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] andrewilley:
I could pick one up in the States next time I'm over there, but I'm a little wary of not having a proper international warranty as that caught me out once (thanks Samsung, so much for global corporations!).

16GB actually doesn't worry me as long as it has an SD card slot, much cheaper to put 64GB onto it that way than pay for a bigger base model. Well, upcoming stock KitKat stupidities notwithstanding anyway, but that won't be hard to fix.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Skinhead1967:
Why buy a 16Gb one? You can get the 32Gb version quite easily over there, but the currency conversion made it more expensive to buy it from the US, also I used PayPal to pay for it, so I had a bit of protection too.

My SM-P605 has a 64Gb card in and I'm already running low on memory, so I only hope that the new SanDisk 128Gb card comes out soon at a reasonable price.

I think a few places had them on offer just before and after christmas. Got mine from John Lewis for £399 in mid jan, took ages to find somewhere with one in stock at that price. There were quite a few places charging (or trying to) over £500! I think about £450 was the average book price but so many places were out of stock, or were trying to sell the old one still at £399........
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] lecorbusier:
They want to sell the new Tab 10.1 at such a high price, that they had to raise that of the note, to keep people from going straight for a note instead.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
Let's be honest. Samsung charging iPad+ prices for the Pro/Note series takes balls of steel. Android tablets are bought typically by bargain seekers unwilling to pay iPad prices and are typically 7-8" and under $250. One thing iPads have always provided was a certain cache and snob appeal; everyone knows what everyone else paid. With the Pro/Note's Samsung seems to be raising the snob appeal. With the 16GB iPad Air at 399 GBP whether Samsung prices at 375 GBP or 425 GBP it's still close enough that if people really considered a high-end Android tablet as an iPad alternative they'd still buy it. I don't think someone predisposed to an iPad would say "I'll buy the Samsung Tab|Pro because I'll save 50 GBP." How many people think a high-end Android tablet is an iPad alternative is a whole different discussion and will be proven by the success (or failure) of Samsung's strategy in offering the Pro/Note series in the first place.

The G-Tab 4 certainly is a step down in design and specs so perhaps Samsung's strategy is to make the 4's their volume seller (EG: BMW 3-series) and the Pro/Note's their margin leader (EG: BMW 7-series).

Apparently the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 will pack a 10.6″ (odd, right?) display of 1280×800 pixels resolution and will run on Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A7 processor, Adreno 305 GPU and 1.5GB of RAM. Other revealed specs are the 3MP rear and the 1.2MP front camera, 16GB internal storage (12GB actually available) and the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS. Digging into the GFX Benchmark database you can also find the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0. It has absolutely the same specs but less screen estate.​

I got my 32gb LTE P605 from eBay for 465. Came from HK In 3 says. No customs charges. Flashed a OEM UK firmware and all is great.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
And gave up your 2 year UK warranty in the process. Or you can ship it round trip to HK at your expense to have warranty repairs done there. Does Samsung UK even service grey market devices for a fee? Samsung U.S. won't. I had to ship my UK-purchased i9100 back to the UK for a cracked bezel. Caveat Emptor.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] andythilo:
The guy I bought it from is a dealer. He will sort any warranty issues and is in the UK. I spoke to him before I bought it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] andrewilley:
Well as long as you know a guy, you won't need Samsung's 2-year support then. ;)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] andythilo:
You're right I won't. It's 0x1 anyway so I'll claim off household as accidental damage if anything happens.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Ben81:
Got mine from HK too. Not rooted yet but soon will and once it's 0x1 the difficulty of a warranty claim becomes irrelavent.

It cost me £439 inc. import duty.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] andythilo:
Got a bill from FedEx :(. Contacted the seller and he's refunded me already! What a quality seller!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
don't get me wrong I'm not complaining or anything, but i was told rightly by numerous forum members,

that a verizon wireless galaxy s4 was not capable of receiving any other LTE Bands aside from verizon wireless LTE,

and that it was an actual hardware limitation of the device which does sound logical,

so my question is do I have a special device.?

one thing I will say about this new GS4 is it's a refurbished model,

it was a replacement through my insurance program at Best Buy.

it's running 4.3 mk2, I'm receiving AT&T LTE via prepaid net10 sim, and also

T-Mobile LTE through a postpaid account sim.

so I'm thinking this was possibly a GSM model and was configured to run on Verizon's network when it got refurbished?

or do all S4's built after a certain date have the capability of receiving LTE from multiple carriers..?¿?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtronx:
I am running Goldeneye's I9505 rom with T-Mobile on my SCH-I545 now as we speak
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
Our s4 is able to connect to all available networks but the sim cards have created the limitations...if you have tmo sim + correct APN installed it will work on that network... Should be about the same across the board...that's why its sim unlocked...with the right info and tools it should work on any network
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
ya i get that part, but the funny thing is my old s4 that broke had the same apn settings. as this new one and could not get lte from tmo or att,

i know i can get voice signal from other cell providers,

but is picking up LTE from att/tMobile/verizon. normal for 1 device cause my old one definitely did not get LTE from anyone but Verizon

thanks for the info guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
Was your old s4 on pre mj7 firmware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmlucht:
what are your apn settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
yes sir mdk.

so are you saying these newer devices that are running 4.3 out of the box should be capable of using all of the LTE bands used in the United States.

if that's the case I'm definitely happy for the community ,and then kinda bummed out because I'm not special :(

lol j/k
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
tmo apn settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
As of mj7 global mode was enabled on our s4s...until that I believe our radios were vzw only as far as LTE goes...also our radios I believe are of the first gen to be CDMA and GSM capable
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
att LTE via - net10
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
cool thanks buddy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmlucht:
ok I have those settings but I only get h+
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
What's your firmware version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmlucht:
im running hyperdrive
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Mj7 modem unlocked new LTE bands

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
good deal man,

that rocks on so many levels,

I was always telling my friends if you was going to buy a phone used or outright to go with a Verizon model,

just because of it being sim unlocked,

and now with this news about the LTE radios it seems like Verizon would be your best choice for an all-around device.

I wonder if a new T-Mobile or AT&T s4, would get LTE from Verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
A T-Mobile device might get VZW's new LTE, it's AWS like T-Mobile's. VZW hasn't turned it on everywhere though.

My friend just got that One Max your on.... Jeeeez that thing is huge!!! He told me so far his battery life has been great too.. although the phone is only a month old so we'll have to see after more time passes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Lol tell him to get on viper rom it's like hyper drive on steroids and synthol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
That's your rom not your firmware...mdk mj7 mk2?its under about phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] equake:
4.3 Modem and ROM version all should be able to get onto Tmo and ATT GSM/LTE networks. Tmo currently only uses AWS band 4 LTE for now. ATT uses band 4/17 LTE mostly and some band 2,3,5 in Rural areas. If you are on a TW stock ROM and dial *#0011# you should see a service mode screen with Radio stats and info including LTE radio band.

On VZW its band 4 or 13.

My 2 cents
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dcg915:
should i update from mdk to get LTE???

I just switched to AT&T, I have a Verizon S4 (SCH-I545). I am currently on mdk Baseband running hyperdrive. I would give up mdk baseband if I knew LTE was gonna work? Has anybody else done this? It would suck if i gave up mdk and it did'nt work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
interesting idea I don't see why it wouldn't work that's the whole reason I started this thread

so far all the information that I've gotten points too firmware and baseband, as being the key elements that allow me to pick up AT&T / T Mobile LTE on a Verizon device.

so in theory if you update your baseband and go to 4.3 it should work for you,

as far as losing MDK I don't think it would be too big of a deal I was on MDK as well before I damaged that device,

now I'm on mk2 and honestly I haven't lost any ROM support most all developers are making their roms for safestrap and there is definitely a Root method out there for mk2 that wont trip you're Knox...

if you try it let us know how it turns out:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
Im rooted, on mk2, running safestrap, knox is still all intac, and im running the latest hyperdrive rls 15.

Honesly if I was you id give it a shoot.

Even if you dont get LTE you will love the rom slots in safestape recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dcg915:
used odin and installed stock 4.3 MJ7, added At&t apn info and........... H+ is best i get, no better than mdk modem and no LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
sorry to hear that. but this begs the question that I asked from the beginning why does my verizon 4s get AT&T / T Mobile LTE,

maybe it has something to do with MK2 4.3 firmware baseband / modem?

if not the only conclusion that I came up with would be my original thought which was that my phone was originally a GSM model which is configured to work on Verizon's network this current s4 that I have is a remanufactured model

thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
check it out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] equake:
What does it show when you dial *#0011# on the phone (You also need to enable the hidden service menu for this to work)? It should either show band 4 or band 17
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
Sorry it took so long was [MENTION=464407]mall[/MENTION] with the wife...

I didn't have hidden menu apk enabled in my phone for some reason

I tried to enable it but I couldn't get it going anyway

I downloaded an app to let me access to hidden menus and here's some of the information I was able to get.

there's a screenshot of the two apps that I used to get into these hidden menus

2 screenshots that i took 1 says LTE type 14 the next says LTE band 4 I believe.

one of the screenshots shows my phone model number, network type, etc .

and also there's one screenshot that shows the available LTE bands that I can enable.

by default it was set on all as shown, in the that sub menu. The previous menu was set on automatic.

Note 1 of the screen shots my data dropped to (H)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
You don't have to give up the MDK bootloader in order to update the baseband. I still have the MDK bootloader unlocked, but my current rom is running baseband VRUEMJ7. I updated the radio after AWS was updated for the S4. I have yet to be in an area that offers band 4 for verizon yet... but when I'm in one, I will test it. No reason to EVER give up the MDK bootloader ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] equake:
The Type is for LTE general. It looks like you are getting LTE on band 4.

My 2 cents
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
so is this common on mk2 baseband/modem to receive LTE on band 4? or do i have a odd ball device.

im gonna put my tmo sim in it and see what that says.

ill report back soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Damn dude I can't believe you updated from MDK and limited your phone so much. You could've just updated your modem.

It's common
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dcg915:
Lol I know I'm a noob. I put that phone on eBay and picked up a HTC One already s off and running 4.4.2, but I do miss the the s4 a little.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I just switched to the one max, sense is so much better than touchwiz IMO
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
Ok so then it's MK2 specific

For the Verizon model s4 to be able to pick up att/tmobile

LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yes it's capable of doing so as explained multiple times already lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
Ya I know it's capable just making sure that it was specific to my firmware baseband modem.

1 user told me any 4.3 modem would be capable, and as you seen earlier in the thread A guy updated to MJ7 and wasn't able to get LTE, feel bad for him given up MDK I guess he just got some bad info from this thread

but thanks for confirming it being a MK2 Only ability

That is what your saying right lol.

(better understanding makes better friends)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Well there's like no difference between the mj7/mk2 modem. mk2 was just a small firmware update to fix a charging issue on mj7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
Hmm That's what I herd,

the only Reason that made me think it was mk2 specific was on Count of [MENTION=1186273]dcg[/MENTION]195 not being able to get LTE on his Mj7 s4

heck I don't know man.

it's starting to seem more like a question of why some phones on 4.3 are not capable of picking up LTE from other carriers,

as opposed to; are they capable I know when I had my Mdk s4 the best I was ever able to get was h+ then when I broke that phone and got my new one from Best Buy (remanufactured model) i Started pulling in LTE so I was like cool

just wanted to see if any other users had that experience, so far I have came across very few who have but indeed did find some Verizon s4 for users pulling LTE from other carriers

but many more not being able to,

any idea if there was any hardware changes from the later released s4's that came installed with Knox Out of the box

1 guy I talk to he worked at the AT&T store and actually wasn't a complete idiot lol he told me as far as he knew all Verizon s4's were able to get LTE from multiple carriers but the carrier branded models somehow locked the frequency bands from being able to be used

I have no idea if this is true or not but I do know that I was able to get my LTE signals from multiple carriers and the phone was completely stock I threw my sim card

while still at Best Buy and started getting my LTE.

heck maybe the initial release s4 models did have some type of frequency lock on them I don't know I'm just speculating I just feel bad for anyone with an s4 attempting to get LTE from another carrier and can't,

I hope somehow my experience will help someone,

I believe I posted my APN settings at the start of the thread
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dennis5pia:
No your S4 is not special, Verizon S4 is capable of receiving LTE on band 4 & 13. As far as I know band 4 was firmware locked. So it couldn't get LTE on band 4 (AT&T and T-Mobile). But firmware 4.3 unlocked it.

GSM phones couldn't work on CDMA networks, so no AT&T or T-Mobile phones will work on Verizon or sprint, etc. In case LTE work you won't get voice working since GSM phones lack of CDMA radios.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
Stumped

yeah I understand that I didn't know if there was any possibility that when Samsung refurbished my device they could have to CDMA radios in it I know is very very unlikely that they did so but at the time was the only viable explanation I came up with in my head,

At the time everyone that I asked about LTE on Verizon model from other carriers said no impossible but as I know now that is not the cas.

but oddly enough it does seem to be the case for some users go figure
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dennis5pia:
Your phone always have had CDMA radio since it is from Verizon a CDMA carrier. Latest phones from Verizon and sprint are built with CDMA/GSM/LTE capabilities, since GSM is the leading standard so their users could use their phones abroad. That's why Verizon latest phones work on T-Mobile and AT&T.

But GSM phones (T-Mobile and AT&T) are not CDMA capable and won't work on Verizon at least for voice, not sure about LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Product F(RED):
You could be in an area where AT&T uses AWS for LTE instead of 700 MHz (T-Mobile uses AWS for LTE).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
thanks for the input guys so far this , thread has giving me more questions then answers and Has kinda morphed into something else.

now the new question is how come some Verizon s4 users can't get LTE from other carriers while running 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Product F(RED):
There's a way to tell. I'm not sure what ROM/modem you're on (I have an AT&T S4 on T-Mobile), but when you're connected to AT&T LTE, go into the dialer and dial

*#197328640#

Then hit Basic Information and note what Band # it's connected to (again, when on AT&T LTE). If it says Band 4, then that's why you're able to use AT&T LTE; you happen to be in one of the rare areas where AT&T uses the same frequency as T-Mobile for LTE (which your Verizon S4 supports). The question we're trying to answer is, does the Verizon S4 support 700 MHz LTE (what AT&T uses on 90% of their network).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dennis5pia:
Verizon and AT&T both use LTE on 700mHz but different Band Class (Verizon BC13, AT&T BC17) which make their LTE on 700mHz incompatible. But both use LTE on BC4 (AWS) as a secondary frequency. T-Mobile in the other hand uses LTE on BC4 (AWS) only.

So, Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile LTE phones share the BC4 LTE band which make them LTE Compatible. But as you said, Verizon and AT&T LTE on BC4 Is not nationwide yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Product F(RED):
Yeah I know; Verizon LTE is more like 750 MHz. But the only way he's getting AT&T LTE on a Verizon S4 is if he lives in an AWS LTE area. T-Mobile LTE is compatible because that's what they use everywhere. But AT&T is a special case. I'm just trying to make sure the Verizon S4 doesn't actually support 700 MHz LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
thanks for clearing that up I did check that menu and I was in fact getting LTE from AT&T on band 4.

so just for the hell of it I took that AT&T SIM card out and put it in a tmobile note 3 I checked that same Menu and this time I was receiving LTE on band 17,

so I figured I would click on band 4 in the band preference menu and T Mobile note 3 started to receive LTE from AT&T sim(out of the s4) on band 4 just like the Verizon s4.

Its start to get a little bit confusing From here, I put the tmobile sim card in the Verizon s4 and checked that menu again and was still receiving LTE on band 4,

I tried clicking on other bands but nothing would happen so I'm gonna put the AT&T card back in the s4 and double check To see if I can get LTE on and the other bands besides 4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
Ok so i put the att card back in the s4 and no other bands other then band 4 were able to get lte.

I know its off subject a bit but my tmo note3 got att lte on band4 and 17.

Looks lke we can put this to bed now, thanks guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] equake:
Its also dependent on how the ROM is programmed to prioritize the carrier band reception. I would bet if a VZW phone was flashed with an ATT ROM it would receive Band 17 consistently

Its my understanding that both the Tmo and ATT networks use the same BC for LTE but the coverage and which areas have which BC is completely different. Tmo mostly has AWS deployed while ATT mostly has BC17. VZW has mostly BC13 and is rapidly expanding AWS in urban citycenters.

My 2 cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
you may be on to something with that Att ROM.

I always wondered what happened if I flashed the AT&T carrier files for my phone, when you flash a hyperdrive rom you get that option but I always chose Verizon since my phone Is a Verizon I didn't wanna Brick it.

and that band selection menu that you get to through the dialer, band 17 was an available option in my verizon phone however, when I click on it,

it would not activate it.

so like you said depending on how the ROM is set up, being that I'm not using my Verizon s4 anymore I might try and flash those AT&T carrier files and get back to you guys
