There is no specific Chinese Z3C, only a Japanese (SH-O1 i believe), D5833 (Australasia area) and D5803 (EU / amercia region)
Considering in your message it basically says "Sent from my D5833" I am presuming you have a normal Z3c, you may just need to change your language settings.
If you want to verify what model you have, go into settings and about phone, look for the model number.

I very much doubt it, as the hardware is almost certainly different. (The model number is).
At a minimum:
1. The Japanese version supports Saifu Keitai (Felica) in addition to NFC.
2. The Japanese version has 1seg TV
3. IR support, as is demanded by Japanese consumers (IR is universal in Japan for transferring contact info between any two phones)
4. Of course all the Docomo APN settings, etc. are baked into the Docomo firmware.
5. The frequencies supported may be different (unsure)
6. The amount of "ROM" is different. (This means flash memory?)
If you don't care about the above, there is a chance you might be able to flash the UK firmware with only a loss of functionality for 1 and 2 - but trying to flash the Japanese firmware on an English model might fail when it tries to access the hardware that the overseas models don't have.
For example, if you flash a ROM for the global Acro HD into a Japanese Acro HD it mostly works (except uhm the battery won't charge until you fix that which has better be fast!) I am not sure if anyone has tried the reverse.
There are many small details too, like "area mail", which is used for earthquake alerts in Japan, etc. Also bear in mind that unless you ask Docomo to unlock the phone, it's locked to a certain type of DoCoMo mini SIM. Also, there are baked in apps for DoCoMo's email service, and their annoying "DoCoMo Pallette menu", etc.
What are you trying to do, and why?
HI
Does anyone what is the difference between D5803 and D5803CN models?
I looking to buy Z3c and on amazon there is a really cheap one but its called "SONY D5803B XPERIA Z3 COMPACT NERO" (Item model number: D5803CN ASIN: B00NMEHHXE)
Any help appreciated.
I might not be entirely correct but I think the words / letters at the end are just the branding of the phone, also I believe that "XPERIA Z3 COMPACT NERO" is the black model of the phone where NERO is the color.
Also D5803 is the UK / US model and D5833 is the Asia Pacific model - either model works exactly the same just D5803 uses one different baseband than D5833
CN short for China?
First time I'm hearing about this. I always thought that there was only two models: D5803 and D5833.

Hi!
I'm having some problems with my signal, and I think it might be due to the baseband.
I live in Spain but I've bought a retde moto x on amazon, so I'm wondering, if I convert my retde to retEU (the version sold in Spain), could I have a better signal? And, is this even possible without bricking my phone?
Thank you all

"Even though these phones are not carrier branded they are still "tuned" for regions used. The DE phone is designed for Germany and if you live in Germany this would be your best bet.
Remember the carrier networks are still regulated by individual country - and the phones have to confirm to the gov't and carrier requirements. Things like network switching and fast dormancy requirements are different and could impact battery life.
I am sure there are differences in firmware - they would all be EU if not - no reason to name files different if the same. As for the phone differences - we don't have that information here. You should be able to find the regulatory body for each country and look up SAR values.
I would also add that there could be differences in software due to patent issues - and maybe the software has different components to avoid patent disputes.
As I mentioned at the beginning - you should buy the phone that is official for your region. If you save a few $$$ buying a different version then you may face interoperability issues. Yes GSM should work everywhere - but as someone that travels, I know that when I go to another network, all features may not work they way they do on my home network. "

Yes you can flash eu firmware. But considering you are in spain, I would recommend flashing the spain firmware retES instead:

I'm assuming if you did convert the phone, even from retDE to retEU, you would not be able to receive the "official" OTAs via the standard update process? Or is this not the case?

That is incorrect. He will be able to receive the official updates. However he will receive the retES updates instead of the retDE updates.

Hi,
I received dual sim version of NOte9. It is unfortunately SM-N9600 verision, which I can see is LATM region. It came with uk charging brick though. ANy chances to chave the region changed (snapdragon) obviosly, preferably to European?
That is not possible as the N9600 is designed for the Asian market. That said it should work perfectly in the UK as it is a GSM device. However you won't be able to use Samsung Pay
It was sold on amazon.co.uk described as International version. And the phone was equipped with 3 pin UK charger, which I believe was a false advertising and re-boxed. I contacted the seller, but I will also file a claim on Amazon. Disappointing. I am getting Chinese notifications from time to time, that's why I wanted to flash English language based Rome, in terns of region. Not possible than?
That's seem strange, I ordered and received the N9600 version (particularly dual sim blue 8/512).
I live in Europe, where the official is exynos version.
My phone works flawlessly, no Chinese notifications, during initial setup I had all language choices.
Only some particular services provided by my local GSM services are not supported (like wifi calling or volte)

Yes, but 9600 is not an international version, is it?

Well hong Kong and latin America so sort of international.
If your getting Chinese stuff on there even though you said yours is latin it must be running chinese firmware. Id suggest flashing latin america firmware to try and get rid of that annoyance.
Use fw.updato.com and get a Latam version of the firmware to flash in Odin. That'll get rid of Smart Manager and the other Chinese crap.

I had what I assume was a Chinese notification on my phone the other day, in one of the Samsung apps. My phone is an International N960F/DS supplied directly from Samsung UK and running 2 UK SIMs so it may not be firmware dependant...
He has a n9600 not 960f....that phone can comes from HK or latin america.
In his case yes it can be firmware.

It was a misconfiguration, I suspect, where the Galaxy app had announcement in Korean about some offers for the users in South Korea. That has now disappeared.

hey there, just wondering, did you buy that version for root?
also, do you have any issues with speeds /carrier aggregation?
I bought this version for gpu performance.
LTE and overall data speed and band aggregations works flawlessly. No issues at all.
Exynos was not capable in gaming and everyday smoothness and speed in every day scenario

To Indians who bought h8296 model and using it in India,
I am planning to buy H8296 model from amazon us as XZ2 is super expensive in India. I would like to know if VOLTE works here with Jio/airtel and other carriers that support volte. How are you guys using ? By flashing Indian firmware or using firmware that came with phone ?
I am fed up with my OnePlus 5 , hate this design, size and bezels. I was using Xperia z3 before and loved its rectangular design.
Thanks in advance
It should work
I checked this information on .frequencycheck website and as per this website this should work in India.
I have bought this model from USA and My phone will arrive next weekend then I can confirm that.
I am happy Xperia z2 user. After using Sony it's very hard to move to any other brand.
