Hi I got my sony tablet S today, the 3G-wifi version, recieved the update and all. Wifi works fine but I don't know whats wrong with the data connection. The wifi works fine and it shows that I receive a signal but the 3G connections doesn't wanna enable. I habe data and data roaming enabled, whats wrong? do I need a special modem sim?
As far as I know, the Sony Tablet S does not have 3G. Only the Sony Tablet P has 3G... Are we talking about the same tablet? Where do you get the 3G version of the sony tablet s?

You have the Stablet with 3g, it came out a few weeks after the "normal" one, it costs around 80 euros more (in my country ) and only comes with 16gb.
If u want more info just check the sony webpage, its there..

Rainer, if all the settings are correct, you may have to call ur local operator about the sim card, and see if its already activated(those bastards sometimes forget those things).

:/ I used the same sim I use in my phone (x10 mini pro) and my phone makes a connection so imma kinda puzzled, but i'll go to my carrier today to get a dedicated sim for my tablet and see if that fixes it...

I dont know how it works in your country, but in Portugal, the operators are starting to use specific sim cards for tablets, and they will block normal sim cards to have data connection with tablets... I dont know how they will do the blockage, but its a pretty much fact for a near near future (greedy bastards).

Hello everyone, I am having a problem with my new Xperia P. I first got the phone on ICS. 54 FW and for some reason the option to select Network Mode (switch to GSM only, WCDMA only, etc.) was greyed out. I noticed that in an area with conflicting GSM/3G signal my phone lost signal for extended periods. I though by flashing a new ROM (Vision V4) that the issue would be solved. I flashed and am now able to access the Network Mode selection. It was on WCDMA preferred/GSM and I clicked GSM only, the phone immediately rejected this and went t\back to the state that it had been in. This is basically making my phones network features useless and I suspect the battery life is suffering as well. I flashed stock .75 ICS and even back to .54 ICS and the same issue occurs no matter what I flash. I went into the "hidden menu" accessed via button combination in the dialer and tried manually selecting GSM only from the list of preferred networks and the same issues occurs, no matter what option I choose, the phone immediately changes back to WCDMA preferred/GSM. This would not be as big an issue as it is if I lived somewhere else with better signal, but my home and work environment are both like this so it is a major issue.
I urgently need help in this matter, I have read about similar issues but either the thread has no replies or the suggestions do not work. I had read about some Sony forum members asking if I the persons had cut their micro SIM. I have, so I ordered a new micro SIM ready to be activated and it's on its way. These suggestions about the micro SIM were also answered with replies stating that they changed out the SIM and the error still occurs and I suppose it will more that likely persist in my situation.
If anyone could, I really need some help. Thank you for reading.

Hey mate,
Im not sure but I think you have a wrong baseband which might be causing the issue. (not sure cause i remember hearing somewhere that P covers all bandwidth etc )
If that might be the case, you need an FTF for your specific model to flash its baseband
Again, not sure so try this only if you dont get any replies soon

Yeah, I think it may be something with my baseband. Every now and then I get an "R" above the signal display meaning I am technically roaming but this is very random. I don't really see any flashable basebands for the Xperia P though. I will do more research though and thank you for the suggestion. :good:
Well, couldn't find anything so I just sent it back to the seller for a replacement. Mine had a bad pixel on the screen anyway. Here's to getting one that works in about 2 weeks..
I too have the same issue but my problem is that my device freezes the touchscreen on 2g network. On every Rom that I have tried.. I am still waiting for a fix..
Tried to change the SIM and network still the same..

Yes, that is very weird.. Are you still able to switch network modes? I'm on AT&T so the network compatibility should be fine, I'm just guessing we have defective units.. I emailed Sonymobile about the issues and got a response telling me that some carriers have a lock on their networks. This isn't true though because I have plenty of phones (Android and other) that had worked with 2G/3G with the option to select and it worked fine. I do this to all the Android phones I have ever owned. Hoping the JB update addresses the many issues we are all having with the many ICS iterations. I wanted to stop using Japanese smartphones (currently having to use F-10D until I get a good replacement) because of the hassle with use between countries and there being no development existent. I thought I could get a headache free experience from a less strict supplier but it seems I just can't have a good experience.
Like I said, I sent in for a replacement and should be getting one soonish, I don't know what I'll do if the same problem occurs except just wait for JB and see what it holds.
Can anyone with this phone on AT&T confirm that my phone was defective and not just (supposedly) carrier related?
I bought it from Saudi Arabia, only 3g works but freezes in 2g after some usage.. I am from India. I think unlocking SIM LOCK of my phone might fix the issue..

I recently sold my Nexus 5 because my phone first web data plan from t-mobile is blocked from using data on the N5, my old nexus 4 works just fine.
I am thinking about getting the Z ultra c6833, does anyone have either the t-zone or phone first web data plan that can confirm it works? And are you able to get LTE working if so with which APN?
Thanks.
I have the same question too... I'm planning to get the XPERIA Z1 C6903. I want to know does my current 5.99 t-zone works with it and get LTE signal n able to do hotspots??
Right now I'm getting HSDPA on my XPERIA S n I can do tether
Tzones works fine with LTE on the 6833
Use fast.t-mobile.com for the APN.

Hello
I got my xperia z2 D6503 2 days ago brand new sealed. I inserted my Net10 sim and it worked like 1 day and than I noticed that there was signal issue first I thought it was because of area than I found out it was phones fault since same sim card worked perfectly on my old xperia z and also on xperia z2 Tab and on my brothers galaxy s4. strange thing is it shows low signal only when LTE is on and I can send and receive text messages but I can't make calls. as soon as I turn off LTE it looses signal and no text or call go through.
I tried factory reset, 2 different sim cards, even bought new sim card, numerous restarts and nothing helps. searched web for this issue and nothing at all.
so anyone else had this experienced? any solutions?
thanks

Same issue with my z2... only when I hold it a certain way... I'm on Bell mobility in Canada and got the phone a few days ago.
I've been experiencing the same issue ever and I've had my phone over a month, I'm on EE in the uk running the .55 firmware. My phone is currently in repair to fix this problem so I'll get back to see if it can be fixed
Sony has no solution in USA and can't repair so I returned for exchange to seller. I though it was only me so looks like gonna be big issue

Hey, so did the exchange solve the problem for you? I am using NET10 as well and while I do get signal on all networks (2G. 3G, etc..) I notice that it isn't as good as almost any other phone I've had. I live in an area that has poor signal and places that I get 1-2 bars on other phones I get 0-1 on this phone, though when I'm in upper town where signal is great I get about the same as others do. I'm just not sure if my phone is defective or this is just how it is. I really don't want to wait to exchange plus the seller seems reluctant to do so..
I had to fix my APN (wireless &networks -> mobile data).
I Google the correct settings for my carrier(ATT/USA), and saved the updates and it worked IMMEDIATELY.
it's been solid since ever since. Note there are differences for the 3g VS LTE versions. Make sure you enter the right settings.
Good luck!

I did entered correct APN's as I mentioned it was working great for almost day and Than suddenly stopped working so if I had entered wrong APN's it wouldn't worked first time I powered it on. plus same sim card worked well on other LTE phone while was not working on my new Z2, so it was not APN issue.
Try rebooting 3-4 times and then wait. This should solve the problem.
Check the baseband version online and on your phone.
There is also a firmware update but you have to cable your phone to a computer and let it install the Sony software on the PC/MAC ... Mine updated yesterday...
Worth a shot if you haven't done so already.

Thanks man, it seems that's just how the phone is, maybe I can stop worrying so much about that now, especially since this Z2 I have has no defects that are so plentiful on other user's phones.
And like I said, it's not such a big deal when I'm in places with adequate coverage so it's tolerable. I updated to .402 yesterday and there isn't any change with signal but I'm holding out for more updates that can help out with coverage. I'm thinking once the Z2 is released in some way in the US (carrier or Sony store) that there will be an update then that may help us out.
I'm probably the last person to be offering advice in this forum, however, just a couple days ago I noticed I had no data connectivity at all. Calls and texting still worked, but no cellular data. All my APN setting were correct and even though airplane mode was not selected, turning it off and on again got my data connection back. Just something stumbled upon and I have no idea if it applies to anyone elses issue here. Just thought I'd toss it out there in case it helps just one person.

Solve which problem? The one i posted in very first post or the weak signal on my replacement? I did more than 5 reboots to solve first proble but nope.
Now this very weak signal worries me it loosed signal at places where my old Z was great. Hope this phone doesn't end up super problematic
Sent from my SGP521
Sony Service will service/replace the set, if needed. So please do check in there.
phone is amazing everything works smooth, but weak signal is getting on my nerves! looses signal very often and data gets really slow because of low signal even when LTE is available. I live in brooklyn ny and my xperia Z didn't have this issue at all. hopefully this could be fixed soon by software update.
Drop down quick settings from home and ensure LTE is ticked on.

Call sony xperia department let them fix it or replace new one. Don't even think phone can repair itself
Same problem
My sisters got the same problem,
Help line, Tech team no help what so ever !!!
Been on the phone for over 2 weeks !!!
They wont solve the problem what so ever !
One tech team even said "buy a new phone" !! such great customer service !!
They are wanting £150 for it so it can be "fixed"..... also wanting £40 for the month contract despite not having the phone !!!
I understand who you feel... they are no use what so ever and rude...
So around 3 weeks ago I got a brand new unlocked Z2 D6503. As it says, it supports LTE and the bands it support are available and broadcasted here in KSA.
I'm on the operator Zain KSA and when I manually search for mobile networks, I do see the LTE network by the operator but whenever I select it, it doesn't register on it.
I've tried everything from calling/visiting the network operator from changing the SIM and getting a new one.
The FW I have is .314
Anyone has any experience or any idea? Do I need to reflash the FW?
May be enter the correct APN settings for your carrier?

Firstly, are you on an LTE plan? For Singapore, we need to sign up to an LTE plan and the operator has to do the necessary activation, before we can register on the LTE network.

That's the thing, I already had 4G activated, and I specially got it deactivated and activated again on this handset. 4G coverage is in my area, each and everything is in optimal condition. The network operator says everything is also fine at their end...

Yup everything is configured correctly
I can confirm that it is the handset that is not registering LTE.
I just popped in a working LTE SIM which has full coverage in my area and Z2 fails to register it...
Well I can't say much about LTE since I am on 3G data plan so can't use it. But the funny thing happened that I was on Edge connection, even tho I was in city centre and I could use 3G, it was full. So went into phone options and changed into 3G only and then Z2 has magically seen the better connection. Try to do that for LTE, maybe it will work. Otherwise I would flash other firmware or repair with PCC.

Okay so actually solved the issue.
I reinstalled/repaired the FW using Sony PC Companion and now LTE works perfectly. But the side effect? I heard that 4.4.2 causes many bugs and seems like I just got the phone sluggish one.
Phone feels sluggish in different parts as well as when I tap the recent icons button. Also the animation for WiFi turning on and off is not there anymore...
I don't know what's happening anymore....:/
I too have a bit of a lag when I hit recents menu button. I guess it's just the way Z2 is now and we have to wait for new firmwares, hopefully with less bugs, to come.
Happy for you that you fixed the problem with LTE

Yeah, seems like we'll just have to wait for 4.4.4 to hit...
Sad how the animations worked and there was no lag but sadly no LTE functionality. Such bad FW release.
And yeah atleast I fixed the LTE issue as I really can't stand slow internet and H+ seems pretty slow to me.
Same problem...install the new software through PC companion still the problem

Hi,
1. Yes with nano sim. Userguide: http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaz4tablet/userguide/
2. You can download the whitepaper for th SGP771 here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/whitepapers/xperia-z4-tablet-sgp771-white-paper/
And see if the T-Mobiles band is supported. (And I have no doubt that it is supported)

Doesn't say anything about T-Mobile in the US. Even when some tablets support it it is block by their network and if you put a phone sim card on it it will only do calls/sms and no data or you need to use a data-device sim card which doesnt support calls. Hence my question in regards to an specific provider.
I have a T-Mobile sim in mine right now. I can tell you that I DO NOT have a phone app in order to make calls. I am using a sim card from my second phone account. It connects to LTE fine and has good speeds on data. I am not sure if it's because the tablet is considered international or if it's blocked from T-Mobile. I contacted Sony and did not get much information.
I wish the OP or others would chime in about this. @legendindisguise may I ask what model yours is and where you got it from? What makes it more challenging is that the model number is SGP771 (right?) but for some it works for others not, so perhaps like the OP said the network is somehow blocking this feature?
Just to add to this post there is two model versions of the SGP771 with wifi and LTE I believe.
International version 43015809
Alledged US version 13035541
UK model ? Comes with keyboard 12957383
I just got a SIM card for my Xperia Z4 Tablet LTE (SGP771 / 13035541) on the AT&T network with a new AT&T account. This SIM is a new line with Phone+Data and I am having an issue making calls and making data connections (websites, etc..). I am still investigating and will update everyone when I figure something out. Odd thing is that the tablet connects to the network enough to display AT&T, the correct phone number assigned to the device, and 3 AT&T APNs, but nothing is working.
