Hello! I have a question for the z1....
I'm looking to get a z1 but I am trying to get the right model to support the AT&T LTE network. I believe it's bands 17 and 4 that are mostly used which leaves me only the c6906 for only option (correct me if I'm wrong please).
The problem is I don't see anything for this model on the Sony store anywhere. How or where do I get one?
The current one listed on the Sony store is the c9602 I think. Would that still work?
Thanks again!

You should be fine. I have a C6906 and I'm using it on Straight Talk here in NY and getting 4G LTE

Thanks for the heads up. So where did you get yours? I can't find it on the Sony store..... And does that mean the c6902 would pretty much be useless then?
Thanks

Yea I don't think the c6902 will with getting you 4G LTE. I was going to get the C6903 but thought I would be better off with the C6906 since it has all the bands baked in. Can't go wrong with that.
I was lucky to get mines on eBay from a seller in Miami. Brand new untouched! three seconds left on the auction. The others don't see it coming, bet they were all pissed! Lol

You can get them through Negrielectronics now.

looks like all the 6906 models are either on back order or out of stock at the moment though.

I got mine from Omegacell
I got mine from Omega cell, They're selling the network unlocked Rogers version (C6906).
I got lucky, I bought it during their Black Friday sale + Discount code. (Double Bang!! )
My total including shipping was $690 (1 year warranty from Omegacell)
Reliable place to buy.

Maybe not factory unlocked, but a seller unlocked of the Bell (Canada) variant?

I know there is someone on this forum with the Bell variant, which obviously doesn't have the death star, most likely that is what this is.
Yeah, almost sure the phones without the branding from ebay are seller-unlocked bell-phones.
Is there any difference in software? What about updates?

it gets less updates... not worth the risk, i saw a guy on moto forum complaining they didnt get the 9/13 update
On a Bell HD right now.
Version : 77:55:18.
Pros :
-No branding
-Very quick to unlock. (less than 5 mins for $19)
-Can turn off LTE
-Usually can be rooted same time as AT&T
-Sometimes can be used on medianet unlimited plan
Cons :
-Slower to get updates (most times, but not always) This is a big one, but not an issue once the bootloader is unlocked.
That's all i can think of right now.

There is a way to turn off LTE on at&t phones, but it needs root.
So that was is only a temporary advantage...
Also I haven't seen any in white?

Hi Gabe!
I too got my Atrix HD from "UniqueFlips". My (Bell) Atrix HD is now ROOTED and has an UNLOCKED bootloader. How did you Flash ATT software on your Bell Atrix HD? Where can I download the ATT software?
Thank you!

Hi all,
Can this phone be SIM\ network unlocked? I have been duped by a guy on-line who sold me a sealed unit and now I find that it's network blocked\blacklisted here on one of the networks in Ireland I would like to unlock it to see if hopefully I can get it working on one of the other networks. Can this be die yet?
Many thanks,

If it's been blacklisted on 1 network dude I think it will be the same for them all. Think they all use the same database. Where online did you purchase it?

Yeah worth a try. Can't see them replacing the phone though. But if it's been someone on there network that's put in a claim on there insurance after selling it to you I'm sure they could check. Was it in a box with all accessories? Most stolen or lost phones come with no boxes or accessories.

It was brand new and sealed in the box mate so that is why I was not suspicious at all, unreal that they will just block unused phones like that!! If they won't help I'll get an unlock code or try get it unlocked on XDA somehow and then hope that it works on Vodafone or O2!?
Are you in Dublin yourself?

Yes you did say it was sealed. No mate... Up North in Belfast. Try calling your network. See what they can do.

Have wondered that myself. Up here is considered UK home networks. I'm on 3... And if I travel over the border im still charged mainland Europe roaming rates. And I see a lot of people selling phones on eBay from the UK stating no signal Europe only. Obviously barred on UK networks.

Exactly...might be worth a trip up, get a SIM from there and try it in the phone. I have to figure out how to get it SIM unlocked first though.....
Hi all, because sprint is removing my discount (I've been a customer for over 10 years) it is cheaper to move to T-mobile, but it has already been over 14 days and I cannot return my current sprint phone.
I currently have it rooted and unlocked, but I'm wondering if it is possible for me to just somehome keep this phone, but use it on the T-mobile network instead of having to sell this, and than buying a new one and losing money.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated,
Thank you!
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't they make it illegal to take your phone to a new carrier without your current carriers permission. Granted I do not know the details. But from what I understand the networks are not compatible so I do not think you would be able to do that. One is CDMA and the other is GSM.
I'm surprised no one's answered this simple question.
To answer your question, no. No way in hell. Sell your phone and get it T Mobile Phone simple as that.

They removed your discount when you upgraded. Go back into the store, fill out the form and fax it to Sprint. You will then have your discount back. You just have to re-verify every 2 years.

No, for two reasons...
1. The phone won't do GSM inside the US.
2. Even if it could do GSM in the US, it lacks UMTS 850, UMTS 1700 and LTE 1700, hence performance on T-Mobile as a smartphone will be poor.

I couldn't find any C6906 models in stock anywhere either. I ordered mine from an ebay seller in Canada who got the unlocked model from a Sony store.
There is only one website that even has it advertised, and they don't even have it in stock. Here it is:
http://welectronics.com/gsm/Sony Ericsson/SONY-C6906-XPERIA-Z1.HTML
When you contact them, they claim that they'll either get it soon or some time in November. Either way, keep your eyes peeled on eBay or that website. If you look on eBay be sure to check eBay.ca and all the fine print to make sure there's some sort of return policy in case they send you a C6903 model or something. I am lucky enough to have friends in Canada that got the phone for me, on AT&T's network, this phone is amazingly fast!

the only seller on ebay who has the C6906 is selling it for 799+tax
I'm debating if its worth it at that price, or wait until more stock arrives and price lowers.

To be honest i really like the purple one but its too pricy no matter where i look, amazon, ebay, nigri elec, popular elec etc. I got tired of looking so i ended up in swappa and get the black one, i dont know long did the user use this z1 but its pretty new like i got it straight from the store like 99.7% new and the best part is i got it for 415 something including a nilkin case.
Btw, thanks for saying that it will work on tmobile lte and now im gonna get a sim from them
