Looking to get the LT30a for use on T-Mobile USA's "4G" (really 3.5G) but having a hard time locating online retailers caring this phone. Any advice? I was considering on getting the LT28H until I saw the LT30a (in white) and fell in love; well really lust :silly:
Thanks!
Check ebay. There are some reputable sellers on there

Thanks I found some but they are a little out of my budget. I might settle for the TL28H instead as the two phones seem almost identical.
Was hoping T-mobile would pickup the Z, but no word yet

Yeah that would rock. Know of anyone who has ported T-Mobiles WiFi calling to these Xperias?

No, unfortunately. There are special drivers needed as it shuts down the part of the cellular function in order to save battery so it's not as easy as just installing an app. Also, the new T-mobile wifi calling for ICS and JB is now part of the system instead of an addon app like the gingerbread one. Luckily I moved to a place where reception is good, because I used to have to rely on WiFi calling all the time.

Well that's a shame. I had heard that it was a driver/kernel issue. I'm using one of those CelFi repeater units from T-Mobile as I was an original BETA tester for the pilot project back in 2010. The unit works well but I recently move from Miami to DC and my area has HORRIBLE T-Mobile signal; im in a true dead zone. The repeater window unit only pics up 1 bar at best :/ and them tries to amplify it to 5 bars in the house which works well but the speed stinks. So I just use WiFi calling 99.9% of the time. This now has me worried about jumping onto one of these non T-Mobile branded Android phones.
Yeah, I know how you feel. The only hope is once the LTE network is up and running that they will be more aggressive in getting other phones, but I am not going to hold my breath.

As u know that with latest android update 4.2.2 Google turn off the lte access. No worries
It just the radios so just roll back to previous radios .33 or .24

well thats kind of common sense to be honest.

I just finished doing this myself. It works, you just need to flash the 4.2.1 radio .33 over top of 4.2.2 and it works fine

Rolling back to the .33 radio on 4.2.2 broke phone call volume.
Returning to .48 fixes it.

I'm talking about the baseband update, not the actual 4.2.2 OS update. I've updated to 4.2.2 but downgraded the baseband, which has nothing to do with the media scanner bug.
I'm wondering what specific improvements/changes were made in the new baseband.
Do I have to be rooted to flash an old radio?

You need to have an unlocked bootloader at least to flash in fastboot.

Ohh, erm, **** knows.
Finding mine locks onto 3G better, slightly better signal, less battery usage.
I wouldn't go back to .33, even if there were LTE services in my area... I bought the phone knowing it wasn't a 4G phone, so I have lost nothing.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to use the newer baseband... LTE service here is amazing, and I am talking a huge difference (HSPA+ DC I get around 8mbps and 120ms ping, where with LTE I get over 40mbps and 18ms ping). Not sure if I want to give that up!!

The network could quite easily lock out your phone at any time anyway, as each handset identifies itself on LTE, so they only have to put a block on N4 ID strings, if they wanted to and use the non-approved card...

thread like this is normal, just look at some other devices(especially the Nexuses), they have similar threads like this for people with the same nationality(or currently in the country for some reason) to share and discuss their experiences on their phone carriers, local availability of the phone, accessories etc.
but of course everybody is also not prohibited to join in the discussion, everybody is welcome

On Globe's "Unlimited" SuperSurf, there's an 800MB-cap for a day. Once reached, no way to register to another data promo. You need to wait until 12mn or spend P5/15mins. Bummer...
Edit: Found out that Smart has a 1.5GB cap for 1 month. I'll stick with Globe then.

Well the xperia z is actually the C6603 and the non lte version is C6602. Anyway. Wifi calling it could be that this is a t mobile software related thing or u might be able to download it from the app store. Lte should work but I can't fully guarantee it. Since since 3 or out of 6 lte bands are supported on the Europe's version.

What? The OP is asking about the C6606. It doesn't matter which model you or I have or whether the LTE on the C6603 works in the US, as that has no bearing on the question at hand.

But isn't the Xperia Z u buy in a sony store the non branded C6603 even in the USA so the C6606 is the t mobile branded version and he wanted to know if when buying it directly from sony will work with everything. And it has some of the lte bands but not all. It could work on lte but also couldn't or only works half of the time since some bands are different on the xperia z in the sony store. But I could be wrong and the xperia z u buy in a sony store in the USA is the branded T Mobile C6606 version. Actually I just ed checked u get the C6606 and the non lte C6602 in the USA the C6603 must be the Europe only lte xperia z then.

It's not "pissy" to point out misinformation. This is not a social hangout. It's a development site. If you don't know the answer to something then don't post.
The whole first page of this thread is filled with you posting about things you don't know about and me correcting you (apart from the useful post by G1_enthusiast). That is not being helpful. It just wastes people's time.

I know the phone is LTE for tmobile it says so on the site. I just wanted to make sure that it was gonna have tmobile wifi calling, and my account features (basically everything that is on a phone when you buy it from tmobile directly) on the phone. As i understand it those features are in the tmobile operating system that they program directly into the phone and you cant just download from the app store. I could be wrong but i believe that is the case.

Probably a silly question to those familiar with the Z but is the 6603 the same as the 6606 (apart from all the tmobile crap loaded on it and the logo on the back)?
I'm already on tmobile with an xperia p and I'm looking at buying a Z, I can get a factory unlocked 6603 on amazon or I can buy a 6606 on the sony site.
Would I have access to tmobile LTE with the 6603?
Thanks in advance.
If you do not get the C6606 you will not have WiFi calling. That is a software specific feature for T-Mobile.
Even installing the .67 C6603 firmware/software on my C6606 removed WiFi calling as an option.
As for LTE I am uncertain. Spec wise it looks like you are covered. But I did not flash the baseband when I flashed my phone. So the modem is still from the C6606 and LTE is working. The only thing is that it shows 4G in the status bar rather than LTE.

Yes even with the locked bootloader. There are links at the top of that thread I linked that link to the necessary tools needed to do so. You just need to root, install custom recovery, and flash the firmware with the flash tool and flash accompanying ROM in recovery..
As long as the ROM you're trying to flash is based on and uses the stock kernel, it will work with a locked bootloader.

i feel you man, these phones aren't cheap... but, from what i've seen in the various threads around here, people say to use external memory to flash stuff.. but, that could be outdated information...
everything that says that is concerning older versions of recovery... so you could try it from internal memory... but to be on the safe side, i would get an sd card... luckily for me, i had a little 2gb card lying around, so maybe you can bum one off of someone so you don't have to go out and buy one right away.
fyi, even though you probably know this already... i would recommend not buying sd cards from a retail store... they're significantly cheaper online...

No I wish that comes up I walk through all that, but for example when screen goes off and u turn back on its a pink experia page if you don't hit home it starts a demo video showing people's faces eyes waterproof camera info etc, like a demo unit but three different tft flashes all the same

Open the dialer and dial *#*#SELLMORE#*#*, it will disable the retail demo mode
