LTE has more chance than HSPDA+, most US 3G networks are not supported from the 6603, only the 6602

If you have the HSPA+ model, it should work just fine. Seeing as it is not working, you most likely have a different model (the LTE one) which will not work on T-Mobile's network. T-Mobile also has not turned on its LTE network for public use yet.

[Q] Deciding Between 6602 Or 6603

Hello All,
Before I order my Xperia Z, I am trying to figure out what model to get best suited for my carrier. I am in US and would like to use T-Mobile.
I am leaning towards the 6603 since it has the ability to be flashed with the ZL baseband which enables LTE support for those in Canada. It should work for US also but nobody has posted from US with success. My only concern with the 6603 is that it does not have 1700/1900 support out of the box.
I guess what I am asking is, if I purchase the 6603 and flash the ZL baseband, will it have the ability for HSPA+ for Tmobile? The ZL supports LTE and HSPA+. Ideally it would be great to have LTE also but at a minimum I would want HSPA+. Not sure if this is a hardware or baseband limitation.
The 6602 has HSPA+ out of the box but apparently you can't get LTE even with flashing the ZL baseband.
If someone could clear the confusion that would be much appreciated.

C6602 won't get LTE support cause it doesn't have its compatible hardware (LTE antenna)
but with HSPA+ u will have fast internet access like LTE
But i suggest u to buy C6603 because of LTE
:good:

Yeah that's what I'm leaning towards I just don't want to get the C6603, flash the zl baseband only not to get HSPA+ or LTE and be stuck on Edge.
I wish they could just make a variant that supports all lol

does your city support LTE? if not then why bother? I am using HSPA+ on tmobile and its 15 down and 3 up which is equivalent to my fios internet...I dont need 30mb down for a phone as it is irrelevant as most server will throttle download speed anyway.

It does and I like the idea of further proofing. I might try AT&T also if not happy with Tmobile. I do agree with HSPA+ being beast, I just like to have as many options available as I can
I wish the C6606 had a firm release date i'm itching for a new phone to play around with.

If i were u i wait for that ZR, its water proof not like the Z where its water resistant
The C6606 definitely looks like the way to go. HSPA+ and LTE support for the US and identical specs to the C6603. Just no release date.
The ZR being waterproof is appealing but looks to have a 720p screen and 4.5"

C6606 lte for ATT?

hi, according to specs on sony's page for the t-mobile xperia z it only has one LTE band. Will Atts Lte work with this phone?
More than likely firmware based restriction you could try flashing a generic ftf that has access to more lte bands

C6606 on AT&T LTE
I want to know this badly too. It only list band IV (700) for LTE. Will it work on AT&T LTE? Please help if anyone has a clear answer. Thanks

Regarding 4G/LTE in C6603

Hi guys I have a question. I'm seeing other Sony Xperia Z devices with LTE as shown in the Network Mode but mine is only 4G. By the way my device is C6603 and it shows [WCDMA only, GSM only, WCDMA (preferred)/GSM and 4G (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM] but I saw other device LTE (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM instead of 4G (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM. I'm worried that I have a non-LTE device. Is there anything wrong in my device? Thank you in advance!

LTE and 4G are basically the same as far as your handset is concerned.
Some phone carriers call it 4G, some call it LTE. There;s nothing wrong with your handset!

Unfortunately you cant enable LTE for band 4 by flashing baseband files its more related to hardware than software.
For T-Mobile/Verizon you will be stuck with EDGE and on AT&T you will get 3G
arent any providers with other bands out there in US?

Other carriers are dependent on the major carriers for network allocation

This should be of interest to you. It seems to achieve what you're asking.
