What is required to use the z3c fully with tmo us? No one seems to know about volte or HD voice but how about just regular LTE? Which model do we get and anything special needed?

All GSM phones can use voice while data is running. Internet calling works well, phone gets LTE, not sure what HD voice is, nothing special is needed to work on T-Mobile, buy the D5803
The 5803 supports all T-Mobile us band?

Yes, except for band 12, which they aren't even using yet, and will not be rolled out till next year.
Any updates on hd voice or volte?

This seems like a dumb question, but I'm trying to figure out if an unlocked Moto X off of the Motomaker site will fully work on AT&T. I know Motorola sells the "T-Mobile" version as the unlocked one on their site, which is why I put both in the subject. I can't tell by the specs I'm finding if the unlocked version will work or not, and I'm not real familiar with the exact bands needed on Tmobile and AT&T (we just switched from being long time Verizon users). Any help would be appreciated as I'm supposed to pick it up today from another guy!

Thanks - so if you're paying full retail, there's really zero reason to get the AT&T version vs. the unlocked version off of the motomaker site, it would seem anyway...

Technically, the AT&T version does support one additional LTE band that the TMobile and DevEdition do not. HOWEVER, I've read that that specific band is not used in the US, and my experience has been consistent in that my tmo variant always has LTE coverage whenever my AT&T iPhone does.
I'm leaving Verizon with a T-Mobile motomaker moto x which I'll try on TMs no contract plan. If it doesn't work out, I can always give ATT a try. Seems like a no-brainer to use the TM version.

Interesting - trying to dig up some info on 850. But even still, it covers all the other major ones, and worst case scenario you're falling back onto their HSPA+ which is pretty good in and of itself. I live in the DFW area, and I'm here 99% of the time. So I'm sure it won't be an issue.

The band that the TMO moto x doesn't have is band 5 LTE I think. AT&T only uses 4 and 7 in the US. You're going to be fine getting the tmobile one no matter what GSM carrier you choose.

Actually its two LTE bands (5&7) the T-Mo and GSM Dev X lack compared to the ATT US model. But you are right, they are said to be used outside the USA only, so if you don't plan on traveling, you wont miss them.
See the discussion in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546466
And the since the T-Mo is sim unlocked, and can be bootloader unlocked, Right, if you are paying full retail, there is no reason to buy the ATT (which is sim locked and can't unlock bootloader).

Can you please provide a reference to where the AT&T model supports band 7?
Everything I've read shows 5 but not 7...

The hardware in the AT&T model supports LTE band 7, all XT1058s do. However last time I checked the FCC docs it wasn't approved to use it in the US. In 4.2.2 it wasn't enabled in the AT&T build, in 4.4 I believe that it is though. It is used all across Canada and in some other countries, not sure if the US will ever use it though.

While the TMO version does in fact have all the AT&T LTE bands (your AT&T SIM will work), the hardware itself does not contain all the same bands as the AT&T version. Our TMO version supports: LTE Band 02; LTE Band 04; LTE Band 17 and the AT&T version supports LTE Band 02; LTE Band 04; LTE Band 05; LTE Band 07; LTE Band 17

Cool. Interesting how that's the only place it's mentioned (contrary to all the published specs). Wonder if it was just a slip up or if everybody else got it wrong!?
Oh well, like we both said, won't matter in the US
Ironically enough, I ended up disabling my LTE as HSPDA is fast enough and I get much better battery life with it off...
Anyone using international model able to use VoLTE with your country's telco?
No VOLTE on International models.
Only US models are able to use VoLTE?
I guess so.
Google believes VoLTE is only available in the US, which is a joke.
Have the 1100 with a Verizon sim in it (hoping I can hack it to work in the US), and it has the option for VOLTE, but I cannot make it switch states. It seems to be hard set to 'off'.
if your provider doesnt provide volte, then you cant get it. in the US, only tmobile and verizon are providing it, that means it doesn't work on sprint or att.

Normally the Verizon variant should arrive unlocked out of the box, although LTE is only possible on Verizon's network.
You should get 3G anywhere else on Earth (even with GSM carriers).

Incorrect. As long as the carrier is using proper bands LTE will work. For example T-Mobile USA.
Indeed
I`m using LTE on Brazil right now !
So I am thinking of buying a LG G6 Tmobile unlocked. Will it work on AT&T's network? Just asking, looking at the radio bands they appear to be the same on both phones.

Yes my SIM unlocked T-Mobile LG G6 works on AT&T. what you lose is the ability to use Video Calls and AT&T Wifi calling. if you plan to use these features, then it would be best to stick with the AT&T version.

So I guess you're coverag is ok without band 17, that the Tmobile version doesn't have?
I have a Nexus 6 that has the Verizon image on it and would like to know if an unlocked Nexus 6 would work perfectly fine on the Verizon network or will I have to keep the Verizon image?
In other words can I use N6F27I instead of the Verizon specific N8I11B and if I do will I still get complete coverage on all of the Verizon network?
You can use whatever nexus 6 Rom you want, with or without a locked bootloader. So yes it will still work on your network
Sent from my Oneplus 3t
But will it work utilizing all of Verizon's frequencies and network?
Yep, because the bands are all preset at the factory. The version of Android you throw on the N6 has nothing to do with it.
So would there be any advantage or disadvantage of using the Verizon version?
That's something you're going to have to find out for yourself. I'm not on stock.

I use an unlocked AT&T N6 that I removed all the AT&T ringtones, bootup chimes etc. and have no problem using it on Verizon. The only Verizon app I use is "My Verizon" to pay my bill and it works without a hiccup.
And it works on all of the Verizon bands including their 3G, 4G LTE and 1X Bands?

Mine did. I set preferred network type to LTE / CDMA and everything worked.
