If your model number is not C6603, you can't get LTE Service

Since you flashed an LTE rom, the build prop of that rom is most likely to say C6603.
Look at the printed letters at the botton of your device, above the barcode, there should say the actual model number of your device.
There are no work arounds for c6602, even if you flash a c6603 ftf file, it wouldn't give you LTE capabilities.
If you really want LTE you need to purchase the c6603. Make sure it supports your carrier's LTE network frequencies.

Also even if it was possible, you need that your provider give you a 4G access and a 4G package, you're ****ed anyway, your phone doesn't handle the 4G, i'm sorry for you.
Keep in mind that only few people have actually the 4G access, the deployment is in progress in many countries and many towns and for many providers.

I am living In uae Also and I bought the c6602 Also and I flashed a rom and its written there now c6603. LTE is not only software optmiziation but hardware too. But even if you have 4G its speed is barely over 3G in most of the places. it works fine only in few places
I got 134 mbits and 32 Mbits maximum on iphone 5 (my speed tests)

the hardware is different for both the versions so it wont work
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.

The C6606 is the US LTE version of the Z. Please check these things before posting misinformation.

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.

Well u have to make sure u get the C6606 not the C6602 that sony also offers on the homepage. Because the C6602 is even in Europe the non lte version. They sell two versions in the USA I guess.

The OP knows all this already. That's why they asked about the C6606, not the C6602. It says C6606 right in the thread title.
Just stop posting unnecessarily. You're not adding anything useful to what's already been said.

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.

Thanks for the info, leaning towards the 6606 now. Out of interest what was your reason for going to the 6603 firmware?

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.
Plus I just like to tinker.

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?

I recently moved to Sony from Samsung because of the design & features it has the way I wanted.
What I would like to know is I bought Xperia Z (not knowing the model which I came to know later that) my phone model is C6602.
-What is the difference between C6602 & C6603?? Advantages & Disadvantages.
-Does C6602 Support 4G??
-Does the price varies between them??
-Anything Else??
Please help me in this. Although when I was buying they didn't ask me which model to choose??
I have no idea of all this.
The only difference is that the C6603 has LTE/4G support and the C6602 does not.
As for price difference in your region, I have no idea.

So C6603 is expensive?
There shouldn't be any price difference between the two models, but I cannot be sure as the C6602 is not sold in my region as far as I'm aware. Check with a local retailer.
