I tried searching, but the only similar thread I found was one about x10i being used on Wind. Not sure if its the same though...
I'm flying to China and HK next month and was wondering if 3g would work there if I bring over an unlocked x10a. I flashed it to Nordic x10i for the 2.1 update, but I am assuming the bands is a hardware issue.
If it known to not work I'm just going to leave my phone in Canada and bring over another phone.
Thanks!

哈哈，我用中文回答你吧，你这些英文都用什么翻译的阿，牛头不对马嘴，语法都乱七八糟，外国人可能都看不懂，建议你还是会中国的索爱论坛好了，x10a在中国能用的。

Hello, can someone pls explain to me the difference between the xperia x10i and the x10a. And is one better than the other? thanks
x10a is the american version x10i is the european version.
I live in the usa, should i be concerned that i just purchased the x10i. Will it hinder any of the features and such? And thanks for your quick reply.
i think you use Edge instead of 3G..

the difference is the radio bands, you should be fine if your cell phone provider supports the same cell radio as the phone. I have a 10i and I get 3G with T-mobile usa
The X10a works with AT&T 3G in the US and Rogers in Canada, while the X10i 3G works with Tmobile in the US and, I believe, Wind in Canada. The x10i will work with Edge on AT&T and the x10a will work with Edge on Tmobile.
Very helpful guys thx
Where do i get one here in the states at a reasonable price? X10i...
X10a FOR TRADE OR SALE IF IT HELPS YA!
I actually have an Xperia X10a that is newr new and MINT! However, I can't use it here in Canada on my Wind network Sooo if anyone out there wants to trade their X10i for my X10a...give me a shout!
I have a new X10i (used for a couple of days) I would love to trade so I can get my at&t 3g going

Some differences
So given the fact that ive used both X10a and X10i firmwares (accidentally ) I have noted some differences between the two. Firstly it should be noted that the X10i firmware I was using was - X10i Generic UK (R1FA016) -, and the current X10a firmware im using is - X10a Generic America BR (R1FB001).
Here are some things ive noticed that seem to function differently between the two.
1) I use Qik a lot to share vids with distant family. With the X10i FW I could use the "high quality" video setting and with the X10a I cannot.
2) With X10i I had access to the "auto internet settings" feature and with the X10a I do not.
3) Handcent. Works fine on both but with the X10i I had no problems with all the customization features like setting background images and with the X10a when trying to use images for background it causes FC every time.
4) Battery life. Seems to have been better with the X10i FW. Don't know what thats about but Ive definitely noted a difference.
Seems odd to me that these types of things would occur between the different FW versions?? Especially considering that the generic X10a R1FB001 is actually a newer version as I understand it.
Anyway just thought that id share that with all.
I live in Europe now, and I bought my X10i in UK, but from time to time I go to USA and Colombia to visit my family. Is there any way to get 3G instead of EDGE working there (besides the provider). I dont know a lot about this but If I flash the phone should I have to choose X10a or X10i and I can switch it? or it is pre-factory determined?
thanks for your help
maybe we have a difference of memory ram
hi dear

At the moment, I am away on a trip but I found in my Generic World firmware a setting that you might want to try and see if it will work...
First enter *#*#4636#*#* in the keypad...
Then press Menu key (the left one)...
Pres the "Select Radio Band" (Not sure if this is available with other firmware)...
Selections are Automatic, Euro, USA, Japan, AUS, and AUS2...
If it works, then you can have X10i and X10 in your phone...
I just switched back to an X10a rom. When I first debranded AT&T I only found X10i roms. The boards all seemed to say there wasn't a difference between them. I recently became aware of certain apps like Google Earth that run only on the X10a. That's the main reason I switched back to the X10a. X10a seems to have an advantage, possibly due to some North America only releases for certain apps.

X10i is probably a good fit for Pakistan.

Whats not working properly? I had an Orange UK handsent and debranded to generic UK but all my services are working fine. I know on 1.6 you could reverse debranding using this method. It involved changing the default.prop values.

Hey Everyone!
sorry this isn't directly related with Roms etc.
BUT hoping someone here can help me out!
I have an X10a i got with telstra - (running Trips MIUI)
my Partner got an X10i with Optus, under insurance then once her plan was up changed to Telstra with a new phone. She got her phone stolen so she grabbed out the X10i and put the sim in, it works fine. but is stuck on EDGE not getting to 3G...
it's definitely not the sim card because i put her sim in mine an it got 3G (after about 15-20mins.
Put my sim in her's and mine gets only E.
Checked all APN Settings are all good, exactly same as mine... Grrr
i searched and read on another forum that apparently in America or something on Rogers the X10i will be stuck on EDGE and wont be compatible with 3G.
what about if i flash X10a Firmware to the X10i? could that free it up?? or is she STUFFED and stuck on Slow ass EDGE...
Gonna try that now just incase!
any help will be good!
Thanks Guys
Here's more details on her phone:
X10i
Baseband. 2.0.49
Rom: TripnMIUI 1.0 final
Android 2.2.1
Kernal 2.6.29

Thanks, Did explain it. obviously is hardware related so no matter what i do she's going to be stuck on EDGE!
it's not too bad, but still a pain not being able to run at full potential!!
thanks again

Hi,
I have looked all over and cannot find the answer to this question. I read up on how to root with the sk17i firmware, but I have not seen anyone yet say whether the american SK17a phone can take that firmware or if it will mess up the bands.
Does anyone know if there is a different firmware out there for rooting/updating the SK17a model?
Thanks
I had a sk17a too, flashed to sk17i anyway, i was scared about basebands messing up too, but took the risk and its working perfectly.
So just follow the guide, if anything i prob got better reception
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
Cool, I was hoping that might be the case. With my Captivate when I finally went to the i9000 (international version) software the reception was way, WAY better... it was weird. I used to get 0-1 bars at my office and usually couldnt connect to data and once I switched I got full bars hsdpa all the time...
Just got my Xperia 1 III (XQ-BC72) couple days ago, flashed SEA firmware with no problems so far. Except too bad it doesn't support Volte in Canada, which used to be fine on my previous Xperia 1 J9110 with SEA firmware as well.
I was wandering is that possible to flash it with US firmware to unlock that, plus features like more 5G bands support?
Anything helpful would be appreciated.

Hi, any updates on this? I have an XQ-BC72 coming, and if I can get USA firmware on it I am hoping it will work for me.
Question for you: how did you flash the SEA firmware? Official Sony tools / firmware upgrade?

I flashed US firmware yesterday but it appears that it still wont work with Verizon even though all the 4G bands are there. I could care less about 5G where I live. I have CMDA less feature activated too but still no go. Worked fine on the HK version of Xperia 5 II so I though I would be OK on this one as well.
@i7killpii you are unlikely to get VoLTE to work (aside from maybe on T-Mobile). Its possible that a Canadian provider may also allow it but I doubt it. You also wont get access to more bands just by switching firmware. Whatever bands came with the phone is all you have access too.
@charlatan01 you can follow the directions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-flashing-xq-at51-firmware-on-xq-at52-device.4147027/
These are for the Xperia 1 II but its the same process for the 1 III as well. If you use Verizon and somehow figure out to make it work, let me know. Please note, flashing firmware will erase everything. Also I am not responsible for any bricking or issues you may get into. It worked for me on the first try.
I flashed my XQ-BC72 using XQ-BC62 rom before. I cannot afford 5G plan so I didn't try. About VoLTE, I am using Fido and the carrier services are not available (including VoWiFi, VoLTE, showing 4G instead of LTE, etc.). Also I got a lot of problems such as LTE connection disconnection about every 30 seconds. So I flashed it back to TW rom. Still all carrier services are not available but at least the LTE is functioning.
I've searched about the carrier services issues. It seems it's because the carrier isn't cooperating with Google so no carrier configuration is available (I'm not sure because fido has android phones on their website).

Thanks for the follow-up. I managed to cancel my order for the Asia version and am going to snag the NA version when I can.
try only flashing /OEM partition with the OEM files of the firmware from your area.
Usually that brings VoLTE functionality and stuff

I called Verizon and got them to add the IMEI to my phone line along with CMDA-less feature. It actually worked. I can make phone calls and send/receive texts so it appears its possible to get Verizon to work on Asian model. However, VoLTE is a different story. I dont think I will get that work.
