My friend offered to sell me his Xperia T from Rogers, but I'm unsure if it has 1700/AWS for HSPA+ (aka T-Mobile/ Wind Mobile HSPA). Does anyone know if it does for sure?
I know the LT30p Xperia T has that frequency as well as the LT29i Xperia TX.
Because according to the white paper http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/documentation/whitepapers/Xperia_T_LTE_WP_1.pdf it does,
The LT30at Xperia TL from AT&T does not have it as stated in the white paper: http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/documentation/whitepapers/Xperia_TL_WP_4.pdf
Does anyone know for sure if the LT30a has HSPA AWS/1700? I've also googled around and I've been getting mixed contradicting answers.
Forgot to add in, the Rogers site says it doesn't... Very confusing! http://www.rogers.com/web/link/wire...=normal&productId_Detailed=XPERIATBLK&N=52+11
Thank you!

FYI the service menu on the Rogers LT30a version says that is has UMTS_BC1, UMTS_BC2, UMTS_BC4 and UMTS_BC5, as well as LTE_BC2, LTE_BC4, LTE_BC5 and LTE_BC17.
In other words, the Xperia T w/ LTE from Bell and Rogers do not work with Wind/Mobi..

I actually got it and unlocked it. It worked.
So are you saying that it works on (3g/4g/HSPA or whatever high speed data NOT EDGE) the 1700 bandwidth for T-mobile and Wind?

Would you be kind enough to tell me the website from where you purchased your unlock code. I am also wanting to purchase a locked Rogers LT30A from a friend and wanted to make sure it works on WIND Mobile before I make the purchase. Thank You!
I was lucky I had bought my Xperia T from the Sony store and it came unlocked I just had to buy an LTE SIM card to get Fido's LTE network .

Where would I be able to pick up an LT30a to use on T-Mobile's 3.5G network? Can't seem to find any online retailers selling it yet.

There is a page on Sony Developer World named "LTE™ coverage for Xperia™ smartphones", and it appears to clarify LTE bands on the Xperia Z base model.
I can't post the link to the page, because I have less than ten posts.
I don't Care about lte. I just don't want edge lol. Hspa is good enough for me. Also I found an Xperia z for 640 shipped USD. Which I would end up paying 699+ a ton ofbtax from att. So I jusy listed my note 2 For sale online so I guess Il stick to this x10 for a little. I'm just tired of Samsung I guess I'm bored with there design and touchwiz.

I am looking to buy the xperia z and i'm using t-mobile right now. I have read that the 6602 is the one that would work but since t-mobile is going to upgrade their network in couple of weeks does anyone know if the 6603 would work also?
Hey either depending on the availability and warranty. Rest doesn't matter.

I can get a hold of both model but warranty would be oversea since the US does not carry the phone I would need to send it to the country
that does carry the phone if anything happens. So the 6603 will work with t-mobile 3g network?

6602 is 3g only, and 6603 is LTE/4G (mine is 6603 and it's 4G). If you need/want 4G/LTE connection, buy 6603
So the 6603 will work with t-mobile network?
I just order xperia z1 from uk

Maybe LTE isn't available in your area yet? Also you may want to flash your phones firmware to the latest .534 unbranded version. In that version multiple users have reported seeing a LTE toggle in the settings that isn't present on the .518 firmware that the phone ships with.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452814
Just go to page 8 and find my post.
If you're coming from a phone that wasn't LTE capable, you might have to call T-Mobile and tell them to turn it on.
While on AT&T, I had to use a standby iPhone 4 I owned while I was waiting for parts to fix my GNote. Due to physically incompatable SIM cards, I had to go to an AT&T store to get a microSIM for the iPhone. Once my GNote was up and running, I couldn't get LTE because AT&T thought I was still using an iPhone.
I know, long story. But maybe this'll solve your woes.

I can confirm what Uly has said. I flashed 534 over 518 and it shows LTE when available now.

No, your friend is the idiot. 4G DOES NOT = LTE. They are 2 different things. On the Z1 4G means HSPA+.

Not fully sure. I'm on T-Mobile also and when I was on .518 firmware I could only select 4G for mobile data, not LTE. After I flashed .534 firmware I was able to select LTE.

when it says H+ its hspa

How much you got yours?
C6906 has all at&t bands (but verify this) in other threads I read that the 03 variant has one at&t band so in some cities you may get a signal. BTW I wouldn't bet on the latter.

haha i think speed difference between LTE and 4G(h+) is huge man..
I would pay extra cash for the phone with right lte frequency for my current service provider, without any hesitation, or i would even switch to other carrier that supports right frequency if i can't afford to change my phone, which in your case, T mobile i think.
But then again that's just me :laugh:

Love this phone but to switch to c6906 I need to spend $750 and sell c6903 on ebay which if i got lucky sold for $550 and then ebay will charges me $55 fees so LOL... I might just wait to Dec 25th and then get an Iphone 5s from apple for $449 and use Xperia z1 as secondly phone. TOO bad I didn't do the research before buying it. It's my first time to buy an unlocked phone with full price. I used to use contract phone till time is up to get a new contract phone. But Htc one really makes me feel bad and wanted to get rid of it asap.
Does any1 know if the z1 will be released for att? I too am in NYC really wanna get this phone

i dont think att will going to have z1 but i believe t-mobile will have z1 since they released z.
devastating news i hope your wrong
Stupid question:
I have a UK Xperia Z on O2 and am due to move to the US at the end of the year. I'll need to get a contract with a US carrier of course, but my question is whether my UK Xperia Z will work with a US carrier? As said it might be a daft question but I wasn't sure and I dont want to find out when I'm sitting in a hotel in New York wondering why my phone doesn't work.
Won't you get a new phone with a new contract?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Yes it will work. I believe on att as far as hspa+ and T-Mobile edge. I'm 90% sure as I have had a few carrier locked international phones that were completely unlocked once over here in the states. So I don't see why this would be any difference.
You won't be able to get LTE (4G) in some regions with AT&T since they use 2 different LTE bands which one is not compatible with the Z.

Sorry, I remembered wrong. It's 3G I was talking about. I was in Arizona 1,5 month ago and had no 3G using Red Pocket who uses AT&T network. My fiancee has Xperia P and had 3G using same network.

The smartest move is to sell it in the UK and buy a new phone in the US. The Xperia Z you have is not compatible with US LTE bands and probably not with T-Mobile's AWS 3G+.
