Samsung Galaxy Note 3

yes, however they could still could have kept legacy voice tech going during the transition, with V+D LTE ready for when the coverage is ready.

 

And no VOLTE is not the same as a dedicated or dynamic voice channel DTM'd or multiplexed over the connection.

regarding HSPA, per wiki UMTS release 7 supports voice over HSPA

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Mobile_Telecommunications_System

 

 

Release 7

• Enhanced L2
• 64 QAM, MIMO
• Voice over HSPA
• CPC – continuous packet connectivity
• FRLC – Flexible RLC

Of course.  But no operator, as far as I know, has implemented the back end to support it.  The only current options are for third party VoIP apps.

I would jump all over a note 3 active.

I would jump all over a note 3 active.

 

. Would it be rugged enough to handle the abuse of the jumping?

Only if we're talking about LTE band jumping.

[ericdabbs]

there will not be a Galaxy Note 3 active.  I just want the Note 3 the way it is.  I don't want tactile buttons like the GS4 active.

Wrong section lol. Sorry!

A quick news.google search let me know that the T-Mobile and Verizon GN3 have passed thru FCC... we can't be much further behind!  I would think any delay would be good for us (final touches on tri-band maybe)...

 

EDIT: wouldn't it be nice if the GN3 launch (or any others) proceeded like the iPhone did?  Press release. FCC docs open up. Pre-order in three days.  Buy in 10 days. Apple totally has that down.

EA quick news.google search let me know that the T-Mobile and Verizon GN3 have passed thru FCC... we can't be much further behind!  I would think any delay would be good for us (final touches on tri-band maybe)...

Every one of them passed through the FCC except the Sprint variant. I'm hoping our variant is NOT this one 

https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=134996&fcc_id=A3LSMN900P

 

It has mention of band class 10 for CDMA (SMR), and LTE band 25 (PCS G) along with GSM radios. 

 

I don't think this is our device however, because our variant should be A3LSMN900S.

 

Edit: If it is the Sprint variant, well, no triband for us

Yikes! That could be couldn't it??? I see three bands of CDMA (PCS and two in the 800's) and only one of LTE (PCS)

Per androidauthority.com, here are the following variants of the Note 3. This article was made before IFA, so it is old news but has the model numbers that Samsung is using.

 

SM-N900 – base International Version of device based on Exynos SoC
SM-N9005 – international version based on Snapdragon SoC (probably Snapdragon 800)
SM-N900A – U.S. AT&T Version of Device
SM-N900T – T-Mobile Version
SM-N900V – Verizon Version
SM-N900S – Sprint Version
SM-N900R4 – Unknown, but probably another carrier variant (Rogers?), or simply test version passed to the testers
SM-N900P – Unknown, but probably another carrier variant.

[thewezgrays]

That would be great... And I figured it would end in an S anyways...

 

Still very curious on this "P" model... I am trying to figure out if the 2nd band in the 800's listed in SMR or not...

 

EDIT: I do not see the "lower" 800 stuff on the CDMA page -- only on the summary page -- so I guess that would make it definately not a Sprint phone... (total guesses as this stuff is Greek to me)...

The "R4" has USCC and C Spire written all over it, as it is only CDMA2000/LTE.  No GSM/W-CDMA.

 

Like it or not, my guess is that the "P" variant is for Sprint.

I hope you are wrong. If this is the sprint version.. I guess I will have to hold my breath for the htcone..

[WiWavelength]

And the "P" variant does support SVLTE.  So, my theory on the oversized Note 3 possibly sticking with single band LTE to maintain simultaneous CDMA1X voice and LTE may prove true.

 

AJ

[thewezgrays]

If this P one is NOT sprint, what else could it be?

C Spire is probably your only hope, but even that does make much sense.

P for precious

No, P is for pitiful... Single band pitiful.

[zodiac12345]

Listen guys, everything is up in the air right now. The P variant may be Sprint or it may not. We won't know anything until the SM-N900S passes the FCC. 

[sddabrow]

A little late to the game. Have any other devices been added to FCC?

[WiWavelength]

Listen guys, everything is up in the air right now. The P variant may be Sprint or it may not. We won't know anything until the SM-N900S passes the FCC. 

 

That assumes there is an "S" variant submitted to the FCC OET.  We shall see.  But all of this has occurred in the last few hours.  I queried the FCC OET earlier today and found nothing new.  Josh, our FCC OET reporter, has not chimed in, so I may need to check if he has been asleep at his desk or playing video games again.

[zodiac12345]

When I initially checked the FCC, the Verizon "V", T-mobile "T", "R4", "P" and "W8" variants were already released. Around 4 PM Eastern time, the AT&T "A" variant trickled in. I was hoping the "S" variant would drop by, but it didn't. And as AJ mentioned, if there is an "S" variant. 

[thewezgrays]

the S might not, if it does not exist.. But yeah, I am not gonna worry about it until something official comes out..
