[Q] Rogers/Bell Sony Xperia T (LT30a)

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.

[Q] c6602 or c6603?

Hey all.
All the info 'on' my phone says I have the C6603. In settings and also *#*#7378423#*#* shows I have a C6603. I'm on O2 locked. Just connected my phone to PC companion and it said I have a C6602.
I did root my phone last week and installed a ROM or 2, but in the end reverted back to my original firmware via Flash Tool and have been on this since.
Am I missing something?

Which bands are shown under configuration in the service menu?

Hmm..... Just reconnected and now it's showing the correct model number - C6603. lol. Mods its all good, feel free to delete this thread. Thanks

Searched a lot!!
I've searched in the middle east for the C6603 model but unfortunately it's not available, only the C6602. Any idea if it's existing in the middle east or will it be available sometime in the future?
I guess the only difference between both is the LTE, right?

Difference between C6602 and C6603
Hi,
"The difference between those two only in Data network technology. The C6603 support 4G LTE with three band 3G HSDPA, the C6602 only support five band 3G HSDPA without LTE."
I have Sony Xperia Z C6603 purple bought from Ankara/Turkey. We do not have 4G. But "dual carrier" option form Turkcell and Vodafone.
I have heard, after 4,2 a final 4,22 version will be the final for 4.x.x serie. They will pass 5.x.x after that.
Do anyone hopes or waits for a Windows 8 variant from Sony? Generally after 1 year, Sony makes a slight upgrade but not is OS base. Like first Walkman phone w800 a slightly updated w810 become available in 2006. So I am not waiting a Windows 8 phone from Sony before 2015.
The biggest disadvantage for this phone, it definitely needs a charging dock. USB port, may become loose and allow water, after some time.:angel: They must have include it to the retail box, rather than selling it as an option. (coded as DK26 in three color)
The second disadvantage is onboard memory. 16GB is too low. Usable memory left about 10GB! Yes, but gladly we have SD memory slot. I have searched Sony's Japanese site, it says there is support for 64GB for Xperia Z like ZL. Generally this option is marked as 32GB for Xperia Z. This is probably because of, Sony still doesn't produce 64GB SD memory.
Another slight problem comes from cassette tape time. FM reception still needs headphone cord. I am 43 now, this headphone cord for FM necessity comes from +25 years, as far as I know. We have every antenna in the case, but not for this FM radio. I have bored connecting the headphones plugged in for it! Moreover, why not a TV in it? Some countries cut VHF and UHF shortwave TV signals in 2012 like US. But in Europe and Asia, it still is an essential thing. Some kind of very cheap Chinese originated mobile phones, gives you a phone with TV with a telescopic antenna. By the way, my Xperia Z box writes on the box "Made in China" too.:silly:
Well never mind, it is a good phone for now. I will have a try from an inflatable sea bed this summer. If I become successful, I will think, worth buying it!:victory:

They can't just pull out tv without any support
Japanese Tablet Z has a tv antenna but nowhere else (afaik), there's no support.
And for the radio it's probably because it's been replaced by internet services like spotify, nobody uses the radio

Does anyone have any idea about arabic support in C6603?

Found out
C6603 with stock FW supports arabic in reading and in input but not available for the UI in the language list

The charging dock was included in the package that you buy the Z in

I've find that the audio port is annoying it would be nice from Sony not to cover the port, rather seal it from the inside. So even if water does get in is not goes into the phone. That way we should be able to use it without consequences ... Stupid design, and if you use headset and water (rain) goes in, you lose warranty ... unfortunately..... I working on the repair line.... seen a lots of them. BUT you cannot prove that, and you could say that the cover is not closing properly. So there is a chance that your phone get repaired within sony's warranty. keep that in mind, not all contracted service stations accept that.

You did? From where did you get it? Anyways i had mine bought from ebay USA and i will receive it in almost 2 weeks.
About the LTE not working, i guess u should check with your carrier coz i guess you have to apply for it for extra charge per month, or maybe your area doesn't cover LTE.

Which model Z to buy help please

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?

model c6616?

Hi folks, I've got an experia Z which I can't figure out how to update to the latest firmware. Right now its showing model C6616, 4.1.2.
any info on what version I have and where I would start with doing an update?

Download a C6603 ftf, then download the flashtool, then dual recovery (incase u wanna root,) and then doomlord easy root method.

He said C6616... first I think we should confirm that OP actually has a C6606 as you've outright assumed here. For all we know he could have some strange C6616 dev unit which will explode if you flash C6603 software on it.
Also, can you even flash C6603 software on the C6606?

The C6616 is just a other north American version that supports att bands and lte bands as well that's it. Nothing else is different. From what I found out.

I can confirm that the C6616 is a Z variant for Bell Canada. They started selling them yesterday. It does has LTE bands so am also wondering if the C6603 roms would work as I have one coming.

root c6616 (6603 tft)
I can confirm this works. I was able to flash over *with a locked boot loader* a c6603 ftf. Going through the carrier settings I'm not quite sure if LTE works... H+ shows up even with "LTE/GSM" PRL automatic selected; and it actually dropped often. Though I think it was due to the signal strength in my basement at the time.
A couple things to note:
You'll lose the HDR option in smart camera
Elements on the screen oddly have a box that disappears after a couple seconds upon waking the device
Navigation Ring to google search fails (probably a bug) it will display an error that you're not connected to the web. (fails OTA and wifi)
Honestly seems a little slower with the kernel change (you'll see elements loading on your lock screen from a cold boot)
Task window right button from the home button acts weird. sliding to close an open/previous app closes the tasker.
no point in going to AOKP, or CM10.2 yet on this device... at least when I received mine it was at 4.2.2 out of the box (Aug. 15. 2013) unless you absolutely need root (sixaxis, supersu, etc.) don't bother. The c6616 will run unsigned apps.

For LTE to work you have to go into the APN settings and manually enter your carriers LTE settings. That's what I had to do on T-Mobile, anyway.

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.
