Hello All,
I want to buy a new ZU, but I found that the phone has like 4 variants till now, the question is: does it matter which one I buy [disregarding the LTE support]? I just need to know if I will be able to flash custom roms and it would not be hard find roms compatible to one variant and not to others.
Doesn't matter one Rom fits all variants.
Btw smth like this belongs into Q&A

Some of them have different bands. If you are over seas the C6802 should work I think.

3g -> C6802
lte us -> C6806 ?
lte int -> C6833
Google play is a C6806
Sony model is cheaper for most people vs GPE.
When the ROM is out, there will be no difference.
6806 will work with T-Mobile and AT&T 4g let networks. 6833 will work with T-Mobile 4G network.
I went with the 6806 because I have att and didn't want to lose the 4g capabilities.

I believe you can flash any of the variants of the phone.

If you are in the USA, get the 6806. Its about $650ish currently. The 3g version is equally good imho and $150 cheaper, but resale value in a year or two on a non LTE phone will be pretty horrid.

I currently live in the US, but am planning on moving to the UK in September. Currently I have a Droid Bionic that is old, and I am looking to drop Verizon and pick up Tmo or another contractless carrier until I move. Obviously I want the phone to work in the UK, with EE as well. I am looking to buy a newer phone with a 5" 1080p display, nfc, and a micro sd slot. Any suggestions? I like the the Xperia Z but there are different models. Any suggestions?
Sure along as it picks up the correct gsm networks you will be fine pal

Any suggestions for models of phones?

I think the GS4 should meet your requirements.
Has crazy specs along with LTE.
As my phone is ultimately failing right now, I'm not sure how much longer I can use this phone before it goes out the Window or quits completely. So S4 is out of the question.

Hi
i just shipped over a Verzon Droid DNA to Singapore. Everything works up till HSPA+. But i am unable to obtain any 4G reception. The bands are supported here in Singapore. I suspect it is locked by Verizon, so is there any way to use 4G here?. Will rooting, radio, or app solve my problem? Please help as i am desperate here
Thanks so very much!
I havent been getting lte at all since the first day i bought my xperia z. Not even once. I just think its the poor lte coverage of starhub in my case.
Sent from my Xperia Z
LTE is supposed to work actually. They have both 1900 and 2600 bands here. Unless it is somehow carrier-locked. Is your Xperia Z an import or local set? Cus a local Note 2 LTE has 4G connectivity almost anywhere.
Local. But i havent even got lte for once. I asked around xz starhub user on the forum, one of them said he only got lte in some places like tampines, changi..

Ok.Seems pretty strange as i get 4G on my Note 2 almost anywhere.
But just wanna confirm with the users here if my issue is due to Verizon locking the 4G or due to the reception in my area. At least that way, i can do something about it as i am lost right now.
Isn't 4g mediated by SIM?

have you tried putting your 4G sim from the note 2 into the dna?

Meaning those who are still using the 12gb plan can never get 4g?

I saw http://www.shopblt.com/cgi-bin/shop...01100250U025_BTC0602P.shtml&order_id=!ORDERID!
9/25 but you have to return to sony instead of them. I guess negri might get it about the same time. I am pretty sure it will work on LTE on ATT.
I am a few days from preordering unless I hear something new about htc one max release date.
entcts case
I thought the LTE Version was C6833 , what Version is the C6806 ???
will the purple version of C6806 be released at the same time as the white and black version?

C6806 is like an internaltional LTE version
My understanding is the C6806 is the US LTE version and compatible with Tmobile and ATT. I thought the C6833 is the EU version.

C6833 is LTE version suited for Europe and Australia, probably this is what you called call the international LTE version
C6806 is LTE version suited for North America
C6843 is LTE version suited for Japan and Korea as it has a SEG1 TV Tuner antenna
Search for the Z Ultra whitepapers for full details.

Chances are high that it won't work with LTE but u will get 3g

6833 should work with tmobile LTE. It wont work with ATT LTE.
6833 and 6806 both have band 4 - so they'll both work on TMO. only 6806 will get LTE on ATT.

I don't know much about the LTE networks in the USA, but check out this list and find your carrier, see which LTE bands they use;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
And then compare to the LTE bands listed on page 4 here;

I am on T-mobile list say's band 4 , so I should be good & should have no problems with it working right ?
I've done lots and lots of research on the matter.
The C6806 is the ONLY version of the Xperia Z Ultra that will work on AT&T LTE (LTE Band 17). It ALSO has Band 4, which means it will work on T-Mobile LTE in the US also. It has Penta-band 3G, which means it will work on AT&T AND T-Mobile 3G as well. This is the PERFECT phone for the US if you are wanting a Z Ultra.
guys we use band 4 and usa use a different band it wont work same as nexus 4 only works in the use when lte is enabled not in uk.

Yes, it will, not sure why you wouldn't want the C6806 though, since it would work for both...

i currently using the $5.99 T-zone on my XPERIA S, i get HSDPA around 5Mbps download and i can tether with no limit... my monthly data usage is around 30GB.
if i get the XPERIA Z Ultra C6806 that have LTE band 4 will i able to get LTE on it using t-zone??
i tried using my current sim on my friends nexus 5, i get LTE signal but everytime i try to connect to internet it brings me to a sign in page on tmobile online, i try to sign in but the page take forever to load
the APN in the nexus 5 is already using "fast.tmobile"
i wonder will i get this problem if i get the C6806??
i juz want unlimited internet with unlimited tether while using tzone
anyone using tzone with Z ultra LTE in USA??
anyone??
It should work as long as you can specify Proxy in the APN, and you can. I really wish I had kept my $5.99 data. It was slow but usable. They still honor it.

I'd chat with a T-Mo technical support CSR about this, whilst absent mindedly telling them that your phone is the Xperia Z, (not Ultra) which they sell, and so must support.

Has anyone managed to connect his Z Ultra Play Edition to the Rogers net? I'm dying to get one, but I'd like to know that it'll actually work. The specs seem to match.

I have a C6833 Ultra and it runs in Toronto on Wind. I dont see why the LTE one would not work .. just make sure its AT&T compatable and it will work on rogers in LTE
Thanks for the input.
