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] C6603 only gets edge in US?

I just bought a UK version xperia z model: C6603
A lot of people proved that Xperia Z DOES work on ATT's 3G network
It is so weird that my xperia z only has edge
I‘m currently using Straight Talk in USA ( I don't think it's a problem of Straight Talk, because its network is also powered by AT&T, my lumia 920 has LTE using exactly the same sim card)
I tried factory reset, LTE/WCDMA preferred/WCDMA only, flash another ROM - not work
Is there anyone having the same issue? The speed of edge really freaks me out
Anyone can help me? THANKS!!

im on h20 with the xperia z c6603 in the states. currently get an abysmal 0.15mbps d/l, & 1.12u/l.
if any one is using one of the other mvnos and receiving better numbers, please share your experience.

If you wanted full HSPA+ support you want the C6602. The C6603 will only get HSPA in areas that are running the right frequency which is spotty.

Depends on the frequencies used by your carrier for which modes. The 6603 does not cover the 1700 & 1900MHz bands for 3G used by quite a few carriers in the US

[Q] Sony Xperia Z1 C6903 LTE working on Rogers/Fido Canada?

Hi Guys,
I'm new to this forum so hello to you all. I recently purchased the Xperia Z1 C6903 factory unlocked for use in Vancouver, BC Canada on the Fido network (same network as Rogers). For matters in which I'm unable to do so at the moment due to work and backing up my current phone, I'm unable to test my new unactivated lte micro-sim on the Xperia Z1 to see if it gets onto the LTE network. I currently have a standard sim (non micro-sim) in my Notes 2 which doesn't take the micro-sim and still need to use that phone for a few more days. So if I enable the micro-sim with Fido, this will terminante my current sim and I can't use the Notes 2. This is why I can't test it on the Z1 which is still sleeping in it's box for the meantime. The wait is killing me. My cousin works @ Rogers and has confirmed that LTE bands are 2100 and 2600Mhz. I called up Fido before purchasing the C6903 model and they told me that in order for the phone to be on the LTE network, ONLY 2100 and 2600 Mhz is required. However, I am quite worried seeing some people post that they only see the 4G symbol on their phone and not the LTE. Can somebody please confirm that they have a working C6903 Z1 working on either Rogers/Fido?
Thank you kindly

I'm slightly confused - I went from the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to the XZ1 with the same SIM card - as both are using MicroSIM slots.
The Note 1 uses a full size SIM card however.
Using: *#*#7378423#*#* [Thx aridoasis] in your Sony Xperia Phone Dialer and then going into --> Service Info > Configuration - will give you full details on your phone - including the phones working GSM, UMTS and LTE bands. Which you can then use to look up and confirm compatibility. They should also be listed on the white sticker on your box.

Thanks ksoze. Actually you're right, I'm using a Note 1, not Note 2. I borrowed it from my cousin for a few months after my bb torch died (yeah go figure). I know what band frequency is listed for the C6903 and according to what Fido has told me (2100 & 2600), it should be compatible. What alarms me is the number of people who have the C6903 and cant seem to find the LTE symbol when their micr-sim (lte enabled) goes into the C6903 on either Fido/Rogers (Fido's website states that only 2100 & 2600 bands are necessary for LTE which the C6903 supports). They only see the 4G... I still am not able to make the switch into the Z1 to do a test so I'm worried.
Thanks

Xperia Z 6603 in states?

Oke.... Im from Europe, Croatia and i have local 6603 XZ.... no problems there.... but in a few weeks il be traveling to Florida for a while...
I know that not all operators there work on same mhz, so i need advice/tip on what to use in my euro xz so it can function there... If its even possible...
Thanx in advance guys...

I was in Florida and New York just some weeks ago with a C6603, and everything works fine.
You get 2G and 3G on AT&T, and 2G on T-Mobile.
Local prepaid sim cards are pretty expensive in the states, for me it was cheaper to just roam on AT&T with my belgian sim. Depends on roaming rates of your provider of course, look them up.

[Q] Using LTE in Japan with european HTC One

Hey guys,
I moved to Japan for half a year and got myself a bmobile LTE data sim card for this time period. When I connected the first time after entering the apn settings for LTE provided by bmobile I had LTE signal and ultra fast Internet. Sometimes I just have LTE, but most of the time I am stuck with 3G and it's somewhat slower than back in Europe. So my phone is a german HTC One M7 and I am running Insertcoin 2.80 on it. Is there anything I can do to get constant LTE (Radio/Kernel/Firmware)? LTE is definately always avaible here in Nagoya, but they are using somewhat different channels than in Germany.
Thanks in Advance!
greetings,
