Unfortunately, the 4G LTE capability depends on the hardware, not the software. =/ This model was made to function on T-Mobile's network.

It will work on some carriers besides T-Mobile that use some of the same bands, but I'm not sure of which ones. You can Google "Xperia Z C6606 tech specs" to see. Or check it out on the Sony Site. It has tech specs and gsm bands listed I think.

[Q] Will buying Xperia z Model C6606 from Sony b the same as buying it from t-mobile?

Meaning will i get a tmobile sim card, wifi calling, visual voice mail, etc if i buy it today from sony instead of waiting until next week.

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.
If you didn't know the correct answer, you shouldn't have posted. I don't, so am not commenting on the original questions. I only posted to correct the wrong information that you had posted

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.

I wanted to move to 4.2.2. There are some performance/lag issues with 4.1.x on the XZ. Also wanted to get on an international generic firmware so I would get updates quicker from Sony.

I guess it all depends on your network + phone. It seems like you are using the HSPA+ of the Xperia Z (C6602).
4G is applicable on the C6603 versions.
Why you want to change when it does not make a difference in your network speed?

Possible to pick up AT&T LTE?

I was playing around with my T-Mo Z C6606 for over a week.
Yesterday, I decided to flash it with new rom 10.3.1.A.0.244 Generic ES.
I rooted it and it worked properly.
After reading a post about enable LTE in Canada, I decided to flash my Z with C6506 baseband.
Everything is going good and it shows my Z now supports LTE_BC1, LTE_BC2, LTE_BC4, LTE_BC5, LTE_BC17 while stock rom only supports LTE_BC4 for T-Mo LTE. AT&T LTE is LTE_BC4 and LTE_BC17.
However, my Z is still not picking up LTE. I also read that I need to call at&t to update imei to make it connects to LTE.
I called them and they added my Z imei but so far, it is still not picking LTE signals, only H+.
I am not sure if ZL baseband doesn't work with Z or something else.
I appreciate your comments.

I did research and know that t-mobile use band 4 (aws or 1700/2100) for LTE, while at&t use both band 4 and 17 (700) for their LTE.
My Z is now showing it has both bands 4 and 17, but it is still not picking up LTE.

OK, it's ZL baseband issue. I just put t-mo SIM back in and it is not picking up LTE either. I reflash back stock baseband and it picked up LTE right away.
I may have to wait for someone with C6616 would like to create ftf and upload it.

It works only on one of 3G bands of ATT. Take a look at the map to see if where you live is working well with that band. When I travel I get awful service in places with this model but where I live it works pretty decent. If you have a c6602 though I belive that is pentaband and should work on every 3G band.

Mine is also factory unlocked, but I paid for it. You can check your service configuration by enter a combination key *#*#7378423#*#*
You should only have LTE_BC4.
Without LTE_BC17, you can't pick up at&t LTE.

I am not sure if they have changed their procedure for what phones they allow to use the LTE bands, but from what I read you need an imei of an AT&T branded phone to get them to change your plan to allow LTE access(doesnt't affect the price of your plan) , then you may use a different phone provided you have the proper apn and it supports AT&T LTE bands(which you are uncertain of at this point). Does your AT&T plan online say it's the LTE plan? I currently have the developer version of the HTC One and people had issues getting LTE access on that phone (this phone definitely has AT&T LTE bands) and people had to resort to using a imei of another AT&T branded LTE phone in order to get access to LTE. I previously had a ATT Galaxy Note 2 and when I got my HTC One I just popped the sim in, never called them, and have been fine since.

Yes, I have 4G LTE Plan on my number as it was on my previous Xperia TL AT&T version.
I also did call them and request to add my Z IMEI and they told me they did. However, I couldn't get LTE so far.
One more thing, I also can't get t-mobile LTE with C6506 baseband firmwares unless I reflash it with stock t-mobile baseband (LTE_BC4 only).

ive looked all night for another thread on this and didnt find anything.. So with that said i have a T-mo C6606 flashed to C6603 .. In Northern California no Lte in Southern Caliifornia it worked great... So i attached this screen shot as proof.. I chatted with att about it and they said o got lucky and att might be experimenting with 1700 towers down in SoCal but in NorCal its all 700 towers.. I tried flashing the C6506 baseband only now shows LTE 1,2,4,5,17 before only LTE 4 haven't been back to SoCal to retest yet.. It gets 11+ mgbs download speeds in H+ which is find but if there is a will there is a way.. Is there anything i missed? Also this Is on AT&T..

Im just wondering if i can use lte service. Btw i know that c6602 is only h+ capable but is there any method or tricks i can do to make it LTE?
Sorry for noob question :fingers-crossed:

Put simply; no. The C6602 doesn't have the necessary hardware to use LTE.
