Z Ultra on T-Mobile? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Sorry if this has been asked but will this phone work on T-Mobile's network? Like get 3G/4G? Or will it be stuck on edge/GPRS? Thinking about buying it but want to make sure it'll work before I do. Thanks in advance.

I am using it with their pre-paid service with HSPA+ and runs very fast, around 5Kbps, that is more than enough for me

What out lte? Nigri electronics mentions lte bands in the specs but all the reviewers so far have said no lte. I really want to import one and definitely will if it can work with all T-Mobile frequencies.

Yes, 2G is just fine.
If you happen to live in one of the very few markets that TMO has migrated to 1900 MHz HSPA+ coverage, then 3G/4G will work. This is an incredibly small part of the country today however, so I couldn't count on it.
Always check radio band. Make sure if you want tmobile 3G its 1700/2100 go to gsmarena.com and check phone specs. AT&T 4g is 1900/2100. Correct me if im wrong just trying to be helpful.
I agree. 2G works. Just like gamscan said, also hearing that data roaming with AT&T is going to be available in certain markets starting this summer.

Why not just use Straight Talk and use 4G on the Titan II? Unless you have a contract with T-mo.

[Q] Droid DNA LTE on AT&T

I am aware that they are not compatible but I have a question about the bands. So AT&T and Verizon use the same 700MHz but the bands are different. Verizon uses Band 13 and AT&T uses Band 4 and 17. Are the bands strictly hardware only? Or can you add a mod where it can pickup AT&T LTE?

Hardware,
I've not looked but I doubt it supports ATT LTE bands.

Yeah but It just seems that it would be compatible since it the same frequenciey.

But its not the same frequency. Both use a slightly different part of the 700mhz range.

Oh well... I purchased from Amazon for $600 that's $50 off from Verizon. I can live with HSPA+ I'm usually on WIFI mostly anyway.

I grabbed that fast! (;
When I pop in the sim from my One X into the DNA the data icon constantly cycles between H+, H, and 3G. I've added an AT&T APN but it's still doing the same thing. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the tip, I had sent an eBay seller an offer of $700 last night. Luckily he didn't accept it and countered back at 730. Now I scooped it up for 600 from Amazn!
Any updates?

Not to rehash an old thread (well I did mean to)...but any updates on how this is working out on AT&T? I had a Nexus 4 running on the network here in Charlotte and wasn't too pleased with the speeds I was getting. Ran back to my One X real quick. But I'm ready to grab one of these I think.

Work like a charm. In Charlotte on the DNA with ATT.

[Q] Unlocked my AT&T One, Popped in T-Mobile sim.... no data...

I'm getting text, but no data otherwise it seems. Nothing in web browser, etc. I see a 4G logo. My network info says:
Operator Name: T-Mobile
Mobile Network Type: UMTS
Service state: In service
Is it the mobile network type that is wrong? How do I change it?
EDIT: Seems like maybe I have to set the APN? Are these correct? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236735
Yes, when switching carriers you will need to manually add the APN if the SIM card didn't automatically do it for you.
I don't have T-Mobile, but that looks good to me.

Thanks! Everything seems to be working swimmingly. Speedtest is even faster than on my Nexus 4 on T-Mobile, interesting!

So are you on EDGE or HSPS+? If you're on HSPS+ what APN you entered?
I'm considering going on T Mobile with my AT&T One but when I insert my girlfriend SIM card it seems I'm always stuck on EDGE

He is likely in a T-Mobile refarmed area so 1900 MHz UMTS is available, while your area doesn't have this.
Go to http://airportal.de to get an (unofficial) view of where this is available.

I've pulled 25 mbps on t mobile on my nexus 4. T mobile has fantastic hspa+ speeds in high signal areas.

I'm not sure what happened, but now I can only get edge... all night. I've soft reset and still stuck on Edge. Perhaps I was picking up 1900 at work? Everywhere else is Edge. Ugh.
im on Brooklyn new York and i want to know if im gonna be able to use an at&t htc one on tmobile hspa+ network

Yeah, that's probably what happened. If you don't get it, then you don't. It does look like they keep adding new area though.

I have posted above a link for a map where you can get a feel of whether you have refarmed T-Mobile towers in your area.

The final answer is yes. The AT&T HTC One and the international/developer edition are exactly the same. Both support the frequencies used by T-Mobile. However, if you're not in a refarmed area listed here, then you won't be getting HSPA+. You'll get calls, text, MMS, but restricted to 2G as far as data goes until your towers are refarmed.
There are alot of threads on this topic in this forum as well as on the international/developer forums supporting this.
I had been getting speeds well over 20mbps on my Nexus 4... cracked the screen this weekend and connected an unlocked HTC One, from AT&T. I'm getting 5mbps now. I changed the settings as the OP did.
I am wondering if the speed reduction is due to the new phone, or because I recently switched from a "Unlimited" (with 5gigs of unlimited data) contract plan to a truly unlimited month-to-month "uncarrier" plan.
I made the change on Monday or so of last week, and within 24-48 hours was having poor/limited reception in my home and nearby, in my town, which I previously NEVER had issues in.
@OP- How did you go about getting yours unlocked? I'm trying to unlock mine to make it more valuable on craigslist and AT&T said that someone will get back to me by the 9th, which won't work for me.

T-Mobile S5 on AT&T; LTE reception?

Those using the T-Mobile version on AT&T, can you comment on LTE reception? Is it the same as using an AT&T branded device, better or worse. Would love to hear the opinions of those few using G900T on AT&T.
Thanks
Looks extremely good to me. Haven't had any issues.

I use the phone APN.
Can you both comment on LTE speeds? There was another guy using the T-Mobile S5 on AT&T who said he was getting bad speeds. He was comparing it to his AT&T S5 right there besides him. I am trying to rule out if the device has any issues whatsoever performing on AT&T.

this is unlocked tmobile on AT&T LTE in Dallas Texas. Yes it's 6am and not as much traffic on the network, but the speeds are fine all day long.

That the best you can get? I can easily pull 50mbps+ down between 8-10am.

ATT users with C6833, can you post your APN settings?

Hello,
I cant seem to get a consistent LTE signal. Like my wife was showing LTE on her Note while mine was showing H+ . Just wondering what settings you guys have and if LTE works for you most of the time.
Thanks!

I think you mean the 6806, which I have. Mine has LTE, but being out in the country, I have a very poor LTE connection, and it seems to be very slow. And I do pick up both LTE bands from at&t as well.
