Hi guys, I am involved in a deal regarding an international GSII, and have been reading conflicting reports on this.. GSM arena says it supports the 1700 and 2100 bands but I have read other things that say it only receives EDGE?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Forgot it is 1700 (should be), that is not supported on the i9100. It can connect to tmobile due toe the 850, which is edge speed.
GSMarena says the i9100 supports 1700 only for telus (another variation of i9100 probably)
Yes, T-Mobile needs the 1700 and 2100 bands but GSM arena says it does indeed have both so I'm a bit confused.

From GSMarena:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
The one below that is probably another variation of the i9100 for telus.
Well ****. Guess I gotta pick up a hotspot as well.

Hi
i want to buy an Tmob AMAZE 4G but i'v noticed that there are 2 types of AMAZE'S with different bands :
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_amaze_4g-4097.php
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 1700 / 2100
or
HSDPA 1700 / 1900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
in Israel im using the HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 bands how i'll know that the device is match the bands?
regards
just look at the place you are buying from they should mention it.. ebay seller should mention it and also stores
and if you are in cellcom you only need the 2100 band.
orange and cellcom use 3g 2100 band and pelephone use 850 band
im buying 2nd hand/...
When I was in Palestine, I used my phones and they all worked on Orange. I have my Amaze box in my hand. The T-Mobile Amaze has the 850/900/1800/1900/2100 frequencies. So it will work.

Hey, did you get the T-Mobile Amaze 4G and use it on the 850 band?
I have windmobile amaze 4g (same as Tmob works on aws) and I have used Sims from other carriers including 850 and works fine. Of course, my phone is unlocked.

Well it will certainly work to make calls, but the main issue is whether or not it will work on the 850 MHz band to use 3G and 4G. That's what I need clarified.
Looks like your question was answered. In the future, all question related threads belong in the Q&A section only. Thank You.
Thread Closed.

Hello. i was on GSMArena and came across this
I see it says HSDPA 1700 / 2100 / 1900 - for Telus but does that mean this phone has those frequencies? Cause i thought this was for the telus people?
Anyone? im a bit confused..
That is the supported frequencies and carriers around the world uses that.

So the i9100 supports the 1700 band? So if I unlocked it I could get 3g service from T-Mobile here in America?

Well, yes and no, but really no for what you're asking.
The i9100 does NOT support 1700mhz for UMTS, but does for voice. So as a result, it does NOT get 3g on T-mobile, since T-mobile in the US uses AWS for high speed packet data, which requires BOTH 1700 and 2100 for 3g/"4g".
I wouldn't trust that GSM Arena spec page.

Thank you so much im finally nt confused. lol. Thanks for the info!
please guys can any one tell me if there is any problems with overheating when using Internet with 3g or 4g Lte.. i used the first xperia Z and it was getting very hot when using 3g Internet only for normal using and i read also problems with z1 about overheating as well.. i really want to get z2 but am afraid of i will get the same problem
please guys share your experiences with this problem if you have any
I haven't had any over heating issues with long time browsing or video viewing. Rumor has it, long 4K video recording will cause heating issue.
Just read something on Android Central stating Z2 uses heat pipe tech to aid in cooling.

thank you for ur reply, but can you be more specific.. you said you used the phone for long hours on browsing and video playback without any problems with overheating BUT is that on 3g or 4g Lte,, or normal wifi?
my concern on 4g Lte. i want to get this phone with T-mobile contract for 2 years, so I want to be very sure of this issue which i had it on my first xperia Z
plus if you can also mention the battery drain how is it on 4g or 3g which one you use..
thank you so much and i wish to hear from more people on this specific situation

Doesn't look like a heatpipe there: http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/03/30/xperia-z2-disassembly-guide/
More like some standard issue aluminium radiators.

Watching MLB on LTE. In any event, signal strength will play a part in this experiment also. Let's see what other users have to say.

Looks like a heatpipe runs from the CPU main heat sink to the side of the magnetic charging port in there to me.

Guys, I have a problem. I relative of mine is going to buy me a Z2 from Taiwan. I live in Romania and I wonder if the phone will be compatible with the 3 and 4G network in my country, since it was made for Taiwan.
Thank you!
Find out what bands your carrier utilizes and check the specs for Z2 and see if they're included.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I see. But where can I find those specs? On the box? The phone is going to be bought online. The box will only be seen after it's paid.

Make sure the LTE bands (if available on your network) your network utilizes are listed.
Incidentally, I apologize to op for highjacking this thread.

If the Z1-C6903 had all the bands required by my mobile operator, then Z2-D6503 does the same and even has some more. Therefor, I'll look fot D6503 model number.
Thank you and please accept my apologize if I was off topic and also forced augie to be off topic too.

I'm Romanian too and I'm also waiting for Sony Z2 to be available. I looked into it and Romanian carriers use 3 and 7 LTE bands (1800 and 2600 Mhz).
please stick with the topic.. this topic talking about overheating with 4g or 3g using.. not the availability of 4g
