I need Band 20 for Europe Digital Dividend - and UMTS 900! The Sprint version has UMTS 900, but no Band 20
I'm afraid the S5 is not a true world phone....
4G-LTE Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 17
1 2100 (Japan, South Korea,
2 US PCS 1900
3 EU/ASIA DCS 1800
4 US AWS
5 US CELLULAR FREQ
7 2600
17 AT&T 700
4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul
3G - UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz
NO UMTS 900 This is the biggest loss, as some areas ONLY have UMTS 900, no GSM 900
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz
Question here. I was doing some digging. I should receive my Z3 compact phone today. I read that both it and the Z3 phones do not offer band 12. I currently use Straight Talk running off the AT&T bands. Apparently, in 2013 AT&T announced that they picked up band 12. Here is the breakdown of bands used between AT&T and TMO;
AT&T:
4G-LTE Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, 20, and 29
4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul
3G - UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz
T-Mobile:
Quad Band GSM; UMTS: Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100), Band V (850); LTE: 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17
Is the lack of band 12 causing any issues with Z3/Z3C users using AT&T?
No issues.
Hello all..
In my country there are plans to launch the Lumia 930, but here the lte frequencies are 1700 and 2100..
The 930 doesn't support the 1700 frequency..
Is there any way to unlock that frequency or change the baseband to enable it?
It looks like Lumia 930 support 2100:
LTE FDD: Band 1 (2100 MHz), Band 20 (800 MHz), Band 3 (1800 MHz), Band 7 (2600 MHz), Band 8 (900 MHz)
WCDMA: Band 1 (2100 MHz), Band 2 (1900 MHz), Band 5 (850 MHz), Band 8 (900 MHz)
There is no 1700 module in 930 so you cant activate it so you can use only 2100MHz.
LTE:Band 1 (2100 Mhz), Band 19 (800 Mhz), Band 21 (1500 Mhz)
-CDMA/HSDPA/h6SUPA: Band 1 (2100 Mhz), Band 19 (800 Mhz)
This is the SIM card in question:

I'm hoping this will work in my z1 bought from the UK

Did u buy phone from particular carrier or was it international carrier unlocked version?
As for z1 international, it supports pretty much every band out there http://m.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z1-5596.php
I've used it in USA (lte works), India and Dubai.
I can't understand what's in the link for sim card but just search for the carrier and bands supported by carrier in Google.
As for lte we can't be sure since there is no set standard.

It depends what z1 you have bought. Since you bought it in the UK it should be a C6903.
If theses specs from gsm arena are correct than you can't use LTE band 21 since it isn't supported by C6903.
Maybe it doesn't matter because it depends how much the net provider uses band 21. There are 2 other bands mentioned.
For example here in Germany the net provider use 3 different lte bands but not every provider uses every band.

Ok, cheers for the reply. I'm just gonna go ahead an buy it and hope for the best. If it doesn't work it's not a big deal, only £20. No contract or anything.

As I've come to believe from various sources the official supported bands are as follows:
4G FDD-LTE bands 1 / 3 / 7
4G TDD-LTE bands 38 / 39 / 40 / 41
3G TD-SCDMA bands 34 / 39
3G WCDMA bands 1 / 2 / 5 / 8
3G CDMA 2000 bands BC0 / BC1
2G GSM bands 2 / 3 / 5 / 8
2G CDMA 1X BC0 / BC1
Now since I live in europe .. my ISP's most used 4g (LTE) band is 20 (800mhz) and so it is not supported..
Will it be possible to unlock this band via QPST - QXDM modification, or has the band been disabled on the hardware side of the chip itself ?
I know it's very early on, but I have been anticipating the arrival of MI5 for months now, only to find a lack of european LTE support ...
thanks in advance for any info !!!
I also wonder this! Would be great for the 4G coverage here in Europe!
I'm also curious about this. If LTE band 20 is unlockable I'll buy one right away
It would be nice to know if it would be possible. I am also very interested in this phone
Here is answer from official support:

We'll all just probably have to wait until someone has one in hand and can test some different SIM Card to see what it actually will support... Needless to say though is if someone at least tests with either a TMO SIM or ATT SIM and they work.... one can assume that all 18 bands do... now it's a waiting game

I'm pretty sure it will not have all of those bands. Out of luck if you want to use this and are on Verizon, Sprint, AT&T or T-Mobile.
They just updated the supported bands and they have some of my country.. But I don't understand quite well the difference in the 800hz to 1800 to even 2600.. if for example my device catches the 1800 band but not the others, will the signal be good, or to be perfect in need to pick them all?
Also, higher frequency means better signal?

It won't support AT&T LTE?

Yes is it confirmed ! But if many people say it Xiaomi can't make Lte Global because Samsung and Apple don't want this...
But I'm sure it's not hardware but software and it possible to unlock this ?
And Xiaomi wont to shop in international but in late 2017 and this MI5 there are Lte Global in late 2017 Sorry for people want it me to
The question has not actually been answered: is anyone aware of any possibilities to unlock, via a kernel perhaps, the bands which should be supported by the hardware?
There's a good chance if you can unlock bootloader, Hugo Barra said in an interview that the India version will have those unlocked and not the model sold in China.
