Hi all,
I'm having a very frustrating and annoying problem with my note 5. I have just bought a note 5 brand new from a local store, and it seems it is from America. It is a unlocked at&t phone from America. The model is SM-N920A.
Now the problem I'm having is that it has a really weak signal. I have tried multiple sim cards in it and all are 2-3 bars lower then on my other phone. Most the time it has no reception or service and it is very frustrating.
Anyway I have done a tonne of research and it seems that the bands that at&t have are the same as the bands required for 4g and 3g service here in Australia.
I was wondering if anyone knows weather it may be a compatibility issue or weather there may be a problem with the phone.
The next few questions relate to installing a different region firmware on the phone. I want to flash it with an Australian firmware. So from what I understand if the model of my phone is SM-N920A, I need to flash it with only a firmware with the exact same model. Is this true. The problem with that is that no Australian firmware exists with the model N920A. So what would happen if let's say I tried to flash let's say SM-N920I which is an Australian firmware available in v7.0.
I don't know if what I've written makes any sense lol, but I'm pretty new to Android and I'm hoping someone can shed some light.
I would appreciate any help, thanks all.
