I have it. It does support band 17. If you are on AT&T the issue is that it is not in their system. I had to call and get tech support to assign an IMEI # from a phone in their system. (They found one) and assign it to my phone. Then the network recognized it as an LTE phone. I get Blazing speeds at times!

Nope! I couldn't find definitive info either way and it went off the first page of this thread.... Although re-reading it maybe they were talking about the F?

I tried it several times before but never knew about the 0011. Took my sim out of my iphone 6 and popped it back in and restarted the phone to run that and I get the same thing you do. So I tried to download something and I'm getting LTE speeds... I have no idea why it didn't work the other night but all seems well now. I literally just placed my order for a F this morning. Canceled that bad boy! Thanks!

Hello,

Sry if i am asking a question which has been answered before. I tried to read thru multiple posts, but still couldn't get definitive answer on it.

Which model g920f or g920i would work for AT&T in USA? would samsung support warranty in USA?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
Both of those work on AT&T. Neither will have a warranty from Samsung US, so you will have to purchase third party insurance or something if you're worried about it.

I am moving to Panama this Summer. I am going to be traveling back to the US often and I am originally from Brazil, so I also go there yearly to be with family and friends. Exactly which model did you purchase and how it is working?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
Haven't bought an international phone before, so lots of new terminology to follow here. I'm on AT&T with grandfathered unlimited data so contemplating the G4 when released or the unlocked s6. Couple straight forward questions I'm a bit confused on:

1) seems either 920I or 920F would both function properly on at&t (some setup maybe required, mileage varies?)?

2) Are there any limitations/disabled features using the 920I or 920F on at&t? Anything that you would get with the AT&T S6 that you won't with these

3) Bootloader is unlocked/unlockable and phone is rootable (without tripping know now?) correct?

I'm sure its been covered multiple times but all the back and forth reading I get mixed responses and want to be sure before dropping several hundred dollars.

Thanks,
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheldor1967:
1) I have G920i on AT&T. Works great, but had to work with customer service because it is not in their system and they did not recognize it is an LTE phone. They assigned me a new IMEI # and all is good.

2) No At&t bloat, but I am not aware of any features missing.

3) Bootloader is unlocked, however Knox was tripped by custom recovery (TWRP). I don't care, my phone is not a credit card! But you might.

Good luck

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheldor1967:
Those I do not have, but I'm not sure At&t does either... someone who had the G920A would have to speak on that.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japultra:
You won't have VoLTE but you'll get updates much quicker. Most development will be done for the international version first. If that is important to you, then it's a no-brainer.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
The updates are important. Does the s6 on at t (920a) not have VoLTE either? I unfortunately do now spend a lot of time on the phone due to work.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japultra:
AFAIK, ATT does have VoLTE (not sure though), though if updates are important to you, you'll want to get the international version. The benefits of VoLTE for the consumer are not as noticeable. Pretty much the only one you'll notice is that calls are a little bit clearer (whoop de doo). http://www.cnet.com/news/6-reasons-why-youll-eventually-want-voice-over-lte/

I got the G920F. Activated it on Cricket. I gave them an IMEI number for a broken Cricket LTE phone, and they said the system accepted it, but still no LTE. Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel4653:
Do you have the correct APNs set up?

Sent from my SM-N910W8
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwolf4444:
Yup. I confirmed it with Customer Service and checked to make sure that they're the same as from my friend's Cricket phone. HSPA works fine, but only HSPA. The only thing that isn't specific is what should be the setting for "Bearer", but "Unspecified" just gives me HSPA and "LTE" gives me no data at all.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s-one:
I had a "F" version on Cricket and the "F"'s IMEI worked fine with LTE... What were your download speeds prior to giving them a different IMEI? If you were getting around 8mbps... just keep in mind Cricket download LTE speeds are capped at 8mbps and 4mbps HSPA+. So you too may have already been on LTE and didn't realize it because of the cap. I jumped ship and left Cricket because the cap.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwolf4444:
So I actually just resolved the issue minutes ago. The trick was that after giving them the dummy IMEI, I need to do a network search and then manually select cricket. For some reason, that did it, and the icon changed from "H" to "4G".
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s-one:
Cool, how are your speeds?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwolf4444:
Tops at 8 in each direction. Doesn't really bother me, because I'm coming from Verizon in an area that's so congested that I never saw higher than that anyway.

Never mind I found them and they are set correctly. I also call ATT and had them change the IMEI to my old S4's number. Still no LTE with band 17 here in Columbus.

---------- Post added at 08:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

You say they assigned a new number for you? They can just create new ones like that?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmiekain:
From what I have been reading, since it's a unlocked world phone AT&T may not have the IMEI saved as a LTE capable phone for their network. Other people have had to call them and get them to use a IMEI from another phone. Your F model definitely has band 17 support. Also, you should be aware that it may not say LTE it may say 4G. My G920i never says LTE. At first, I was confused but then I realized that mostly only America makes the distinction between LTE and 4g. So depending on what part of the world your phone was actually made for it may never actually say LTE in the status bar it may only say 4G, 3G, 2g, or have an E. You can see what band you're on when it says 4G and you go to your dialer and use *#0011#. It will actually say LTE and tell you what band you're on.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
Not sure what you mean?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmiekain:
For example you may have an old phone laying around that is from at&t. Have them put that IMEI in the system bit you actually use your s6.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
I gather that (although not sure why at&t can't get their system together and just update the status of the imei that you want to use).

So I ran the code and I do see band 17 LTE. See the same thing on my note 4.They both test at the same speed. When I run the "LTE Discovery" app from the play store though, only the note sees LTE but the s6 does not.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmiekain:
Are you sure the lte discovery app is working properly on your s6? I was under the impression that it didn't work on international phones. It works on my wife's s6 from at&t but not my g920i also I've read in the forums that it doesn't work for other people either.

I got this earlier on band 2 notice that NY icon says 4G not LTE but I'm actually on LTE.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McGragger:
No I'm not sure it's working. Thanks for trying it for me. I'm on LTE but only getting half the speed as you. Thanks for all the help.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmiekain:
What do you mean your not sure? It says 45lte and you're getting 20mbps down.

The speed you get is going to depend mostly on your location. There are plenty of places where I get like 3mbps. I don't always get 40 down. Nobody does.

Is this blocked in hardware or software?

And its nice to see, WCDMA (HSPA) has a few bands too. In Canada they don't offer it with 900 Mhz HSPA for when you travel to the EU / Asia / Afirca and are outside of the city. 2100, 1900, 1700, 900, 850.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shojus:
So I have been wondering about the whole F and I version thing as well, and I found out some important news, and that is the fact that the F model would leave me without HSPA in Michigan. The I model covers the UMTS bands 1700/2100 on T-Mobile, that's in my area, so I gotta have the I model for T-Mobile as of now. So, if on T-Mobile, this has identical bands across the board, but it's missing some of the less common AT&T bands that the F does have. Just throwing that out there.

I am definitely interested in purchasing the G920F for MetroPcs and this is what I was told...

"Looks like you'll get talk, text, and LTE. It doesn't have the 1700/2100 AWS 3G/HSPA band so you'll only get 3G if your area has 1900 3G coverage."

Not only did I just want to share that info, since I didn't see it posted here (at least the last 3-4 pages of posts) but I am very curious as to what you guys think of that?

I was told that if I did have the band I'd get a 3G/HSPA signal in more areas without LTE.

Well- I don't have International S6 but have International Galaxy 850M on Metro/Tmobile ( factory unlocked with all Bands except LTE 12).

The International Phones show real Bands .

So LTE says LTE

H+ says H+ BUT if this was a Carrier Version -

H+ would show as 4G.

It's a Marketing thing IMO.

Pretty sure you never see H+ on a Tmobile branded phone they show as 4G.

BUT LTE is LTE and shows that way on most newer unlocked LTE Samsung phones.

Unknown IMEI on 920F

I've got a 920F I'm attempting to use on Straight Talk AT&T. In the phone's settings menu, IMEI shows up as unknown.
