[Q] T-Mobile USA LTE suppport - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking at http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-z1/specifications/#tabs LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17, 20), http://www.gsmarc.com/sony/xperia-z1/reviews/ and http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-5627.
It seems unlocked Z1 shouldn't have problem supporting T-Mobile LTE in USA. Is that correct or is there still a chance that somehow unlocked (international) Z1 won't support LTE on T-Mobile?

I showed a T-Mobile rep the list of bands and frequencies, they said it shouldn't have any problem connecting to their LTE. That's obviously not a direct conformation that it will, but they said they would do everything they can if there is a problem. I do know a rep will say almost anything to get you on their side of the force but she was looking at bands with me on her computer and getting other people over as well. Only time will tell. Mine ships out the 16th from the UK to the States.

It will most likely work.
Also they are expecting it next week any day.

I think you don't even have to wait for the north american variant but can go straight for the C6903 when it's available.

Where did u buy from?
I'm looking at Negri Electronics but wanted to know if there is better deal out there

I grabbed mine from unlocked-mobiles.
They start shipping out the 16th which is, I believe, 4 days before Negri. I got the UPS 2-3 day shipping. When I priced out Negri it was a total of $38 less which wasn't enough for me to cancel my order that is already processing.

they expect a shipment any day next week.

Look at clove.co.uk They're offering the Smartwatch 2 with purchase and it's less $. I had original pre-ordered with Negri when they advertised the phone at $729.50. As I watched the price continue going up I started looking elsewhere and ended up at Clove.

I wish I read few more posts before buying I bought it on Negri, oh well I'm getting new phone

Got mines from HandTec UK for the same reasons you've stated. I'm now trying to decide whether or not to use or sell the Smartwatch 2.

I got mine from unlocked-mobiles.com and it ships tomorrow. When the Smartwatch 2 is released on the 30th that gets shipped for free and in phases over £100 free content. I'm in America.

GSM NATION got the Z1 in stock
This site in US got the phone in stock already too
gsmnation.com/sony-mobile-xperia-z1-c6903-unlocked.html

I got mine at clove also.

Hellbent on Xperia Z1. Work on tmobileusa HSPA+42? Where to buy? Bootloader locked?

Hi all! I really want to buy the Xperia Z1 but I'm an american and I might have to import it. I keep on looking at a site called Negri. I want to buy it unlocked but it has to work on tmobile's HSPA+42 network. I hear there are different models but I don't see model listing numbers on any sites for preorder. My phone currently is a lg G2x. I've tried many custom roms but its on its last legs.
I keep on looking at sony.com and sony mobile.com but I don't even see it for preorder (usa sites). Is the Negri the international version?
If anyone knows anything please give me a hand. Also is the bootloader locked?

I've been looking at Negri's site also for the Z1. According to the spec description, all the necessary bands are there for it to work on T-Mo. I say you contact Negri customer service to confirm that or just wait till the phone is released on T-Mo. With T-Mo carrying the Z, I wouldn't count them out on carrying the Z1. Just for your reference, my international HOX is getting the 3G sign on T-Mo instead of the H.
Order from clove.co.uk or handtec.co.uk
they are better than negrielectronics, plus usually negri kinda lags on their shipping dates because they get their devices from wholesalers or dealers w/e.
order from the above sites, its about 20 dollars cheaper, and you get a FREE SMART WATCH ($250)!!!!
plus they will get the device starting on the 16th, so it will ship 16-20, with 1-3 day shipping to the US.
The devices sold by these two companies are C6903 which have all the freq/bands for t-mobile. So it should work unless something horrible goes wrong when we get them (doesnt work lol).

Hi all,
I just recently switched to T-Mobile from Sprint, so please excuse my ignorance.
I'm looking to pre-order the phone from one of 2 UK sites; www.clove.co.uk and/or www.unlocked-mobiles.com.
Does the phone need to be unlocked for use of T-Mobile?
Are phones from UK auto unlocked or do I need to check with these 2 companies?

Thanks for the source for ordering the Z1 in Europe. These are really great deals, Negri is pretty much $50 more (that's what it looks like when I run the conversion on XE.com) and there's no smart watch offer. Hopefully I'll be able to save up enough before these deals are gone.

The phones on the sites above should be unlocked. You should probably pick between clove and handtec that were recommended, unlock-mobiles offers the phone around the same price, but doesn't have the offer for free Sony Smart Watch 2. Clove and handtec will be the better deal.

I've put the product in the basket and almost went through the ordering process just so I could see the actual USD total in Paypal. The cost is running close to $78X.XX which is quite high, but do remember, they're throwing in the smartwatch 2 which is worth at least $250. Just want to make sure you don't get shocked by the bill. Paypal may or may not be using the currency rate from XE.com or other currency sites.
I ordered mine from HandTec UK and it is 1-3 day FedEx shipping to the US. The cool thing is that it also comes with a free Smartwatch 2! I checked with T-Mobile and the unlocked Xperia Z1 should support all the bands for HSPA and 4G LTE.

Nexus 5 - Hong Kong

For anyone who cares the Nexus 5 is officially out in Hong Kong. Its being sold by LG, rather than Google. Price is around HK$3,800 - 3,900 depending on where you buy it. Big name retailers such as Broadway are selling it. Only the 16GB model is presently available.

no. LTE wont work in North Americia. But 3G will work of course.
Damn. I had a feeling LTE wouldn't but was holding out hope. Oh well, guess I'll have to play the patience game some more..
Hond Kong LTE use band 3, and the US version of Nexus does not support that.
But does anyone know on the UMTS 2100, is HSPA supported by the NEXUS 5?
wonder when nexus 5 32 gb will release in hong kong.. right now for that price its still a steal!
heard from wilson guy that around nov 20 there will be google play order available in hk, with price around HKD3200..
dont yell at me how ridiculous this may be.. im just repeating their words..
is this really possible (that google play order is coming to hk)?

HK Google Play store would be a very welcome development.
I think I am probably going to wait it out for around a month or two and hopefully the N5 price is drop a bit or at least a 32GB model will make its way to HK, otherwise seems the Oz store has the best value at the moment.
Fortress
Dear All,
I was at Fortress MK (MK New Century Mall) and they are selling it for $3,880.00. The guy says ONLY 16GB and I asked about 32GB and he said no. I don't believe him since he had to check 5 minutes to give me a price on the N5. Late Nov. HK PlayStore have it? I highly doubt it. I'm waiting till close to Christmas to buy it as the price will go down and retailers will have discounts.
if u go to "smaller" shops in mongkok/wanchai etc. the price is now in the range of 3700+..
Make sure..

Yes, parallel import will be cheaper in price but watch for what you get. Remember, US version (D820) won't work in HK for LTE. We have (D821) which is international version to work for Asia. I would stay with Fortress, Broadway etc. to be safe.

As long as the smaller shop confirms its HK stock and you can get local warranty through LG I don't see an issue buying through them.
Remember the D821 is also being sold in Australia where the price is actually quite comparable to the North American prices. But you won't get local LG warranty if you get that.
Was at Broadway Shatin on Friday, asked if 32gb was available, sales said usually Hong Kong only get one version.
Agreed that it is expensive to buy from them, if really available through Play Store at end of November then Ill be one of the first to buy from there!
Was just in WCC.
Asked two shops for price, one said HK$4.2k the other said HK$3.9k!!!!! Local stock.
Wasn't going to buy and was in a bit of a hurry so didn't ask around too many places or try and negotiate for price.

On the Sprint Website it says pre-orders will start on the 26th. 1 month long pre-order. I figured Samsung would push this one out faster to compete with the Iphone. I know several people who are considering the iphone 6 as well as the Note 4. But if the iphone 6 becomes readily available before the Note 4 then they might just make their decision.
Personally im coming from a Note 2 so im ready for the upgrade anytime.
Pre ordered mine last night
Also ATT has it available on the edge program.
$0 down ($61 in taxes upfront) and $34 a month for 18 months.
That's the deal I took it with.
I'm trying to decide if I want to take the payment plan on Verizon or just pay for it outright. I guess it depends on the advantages. One way or another you're paying full price.
I am on ATT now, but I think $825 is a rip-off, that too with a locked bootloader. Considering the Verizon version is only $699, can I buy that one and use it on ATT network ?

Verizon is the cheapest. ATT has theirs overpriced as their usual bait and switch tactics because they are offering $100 for a new line of service. This way they don't lose money.
i used a coupon code: 50OFF1920614 for $50 off on Verizon. I don't know if it will work for anyone else, but it's worth a try. Covered my upgrade fee and taxes

Verizon is always the last to go out, and last to upgrade software. They like to be last on purpose I believe.
Now that being said it is a ship BY date meaning you have a chance of getting it sooner. They normally try to have it in your hands the same day they release in the store. But the official date for preorders stated as the 23rd and still is currently unless we get lucky.

Ugh so annoyed. Bad Note 4 buying experience...

So I was out to buy the Note 4 and I wanted to try the Exynos variant because I've always purchased the Snapdragon variants. I figured because the Exynos Note 4 finally supported LTE in the US and the fact that it was using a next generation SoC made it a natural decision for me to finally convert... BUT when purchasing, I looked into Expansys for getting the phone. They specifically advertised the SM-N910U on their website of the phone. I spent nearly $1,000 and purchased next day delivery. To my horror, I found that the model number was SM-N910H, which supports no LTE and will likely have the least support of the Exynos variants. I'm so livid. I don't think I'm going to buy internationally anymore, I don't trust these vendors. :crying:
Thats is really not good. Can you return to them the unit?
Sent from my SM-N910U using Tapatalk
Expansys sent me an opened phone before so I'll never buy another phone from them. And they're not authorized to sell anything even though they advertise manufacturer's warranties.
Just for future reference, what are more reputable sellers to look at?
Exapansys are very very bad. I have rarely heard good things about them. Apparently they are also a nightmare to deal with for returns or warranty issues. Although I haven't used them yet, but I heard tons of good things about Clove. www.clove.co.uk
I will most probably buy the Galaxy Gear S from them soon.

No Plans For Galaxy Note 5 64Gb In Canada

No 64 Gb note 5 in canada
I've checked with all the carriers none have plans to carry 64 gb note 5 here in canada. Also they only have sapphire black for some reason for now.. dissappointed was looking forward to buying a note 5 64 gb I think I just might buy a note edge as it has micro SD support. Any suggestions?
This is such a disappointment.
I originally planned on upgrading to the S6 Edge Plus, since I never made any use of the SPEN from my Note 3, so I figured that was a logical decision. I just picked up the phone last Friday (the 21st - launch date) and after spending the weekend playing with it, I've come to realize that I absolutely LOATHE the curved edge screen, and decided to take advantage of Rogers' "Buyers Remorse" policy and return the phone for the Note5 instead.
Until I realized they only offer the 32GB variety. So then I was thinking, f#@% it, I'll just cancel my policy outright and go with a different provider, only to find out that NONE of the Canadian carriers are offering anything but the 32GB variant of the Note5. WHAT THE HELL? Is this 2015 or 2005? If I wanted a 32GB phone, I'd go with a goddamn iPhone.
Now I think I'm stuck with the Edge Plus, not that it's a terrible phone, I just personally don't care for the curved screen as it makes reading text and viewing certain things seem rather annoying, since it can "bend" around the corners of the screen (maybe I'm just used to a flat-screen device, and in time will get used to this thing).
I'm going to see if I can reverse the upgrade altogether and get out of my contract entirely, but knowing Rogers (and even though it's only been 4 days since I renewed my policy) I'm likely screwed or will have to pay $$$ in early cancellation fees. However, if it's feasible, it might be the better option, cancelling my plan outright, paying any and all fees and buying an unlocked or AT&T version of the 64GB Note5 -- rather than settling for a phone I dislike from the get-go.
Bastards.

yea i am really disappointed myself. having the extra space would be nice. however, there are ways to work around it. I have everything synced up to google drive with 1TB of storage. for daily use i never have an issue with space. when i go on vacation or am away from the house for a while i just access everything on gdrive and download it to my phone when i have watched whats on there already. its easy enough to find wifi in most places.
I checked with Samsung Canada and was told that the 64GB for the Note 5 will be arriving soon. They did not give me the exact date though.

yeah, I looked in so many places for a firmware. I currently have the T-Mobile firmware and I don't like it being the original Bell. Guess I'll just have to wait a little for SamMobile to release the Canadian version of the firmware.
About the root, if you use Netflix, you might encounter some problems. If you are stuck in loading, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/general/easy-steps-n920t-aoge-odin-twrp-root-t3187422/post62539622#post62539622

I'm a total noob so apologies if this is a ridiculous question. I am also looking for a 64gb N5 for Canada.
I use Wind in Canada. Their web site says,
"The WIND Mobile network uses a frequency called AWS, with bands 1700/2100 MHz".
They list their 32gb Note 5 as:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS: B1(2100),B2(1900),B4(AWS),B5(850)
Now, there is a Taiwan seller of the Note 5 that offers a 64gb version (with dual sim) and they say the phone has:
Cellular Band (2G GSM): GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900
Cellular Band (3G): B1(2100), B2(1900), B5(850), B8(900)
Cellular Band (3G TD-SCDMA): B34(2010), B39(1880)
Cellular Band (4G FDD LTE): Band 1,2,3,4(AWS),5,7,8,12,17,18,19,25,26,28
Cellular Band (4G TDD LTE): B38(2600), B39(1900), B40(2300), B41(2500)
Note that 4th line, which contains AWS. However, it's also the LTE line, which Wind doesn't have.
So, what's the deal here? Will the Taiwanese phone work on Wind or not?
Thank you!
Was checking out the note 5 and s6 edge plus in a Rogers store today. They each have less than 10GB free! WTF?
I've gotta get off the Samsung train I think...
As has been stated before, the store demo phones are loaded with apps and stuff. A new 32GB Note 5 has approx 22GB free.

I find it very interesting that under internal memory it shows 32GB not 64GB.
I hope when you receive your Note 5, it's 64GB, but I have a funny feeling it's 32GB.
Keep us posted
