hello friend,
could u please confirm for me if it does has any option for the 4g and lte network?
also i will be glad to tell me if it supports google play app?
regards and thanks in advance

It supports Google play but this is only a 3g version... The lte is not released yet but it will be made for the American market so I'm sure it's going to be more expensive.

Do you know when is going to be released the LTE version and if it will also be dual sim?

Any news anyone about the Lenovo Vibe Z K910 Dual SIM AND LTE version?
Is it already available? Where can it be bought? What's the price?
THANKS in advance!

That's what I've seen with other phones, as the current trend: 2 versions, 1st with dual-sim without LTE, 2nd with single SIM with LTE...

YOUTUBE??
"" HEY BRO !!! HOW ARE YOU DOING? and how are you liking your new phone?"
I just wanted to ask you can you provide me the link of the video from you tube??
I also bought VIBE Z from China the overall language is english but in some categories the LANGUAGE is unchangeable it is chinese as default areas like Switching off menu, contacts and some places in the gallery as well....
Please help me out bro need cant stand it anymore

Yes
Yes it supports English language, but the UI is littered with Chinese text, in sms app, contacts app, phone dialler app, and power down. It really does spoil the phone, it's a tad laggy too.

Battry life
Been thinking about this phone. What is the battery life like with moderate use?

Dual SIM Dual Active
I've been looking at getting this phone as well. Is it truly Dual Active with the 2 SIMs? My work SIM is AT&T with no mobile network while my personal SIM is T-Mobile with LTE (I know this phone connects to 3g not LTE) I want to be able to use my personal mobile network all the time while using the voice & msg of my work line. Why I want Dual Active not Dual Standby.
Thanks

I just got mine yesterday and have the same situation with work (at&t no data) & personal (t-mobile w/LTE). Yes it's a true DUAL ACTIVE sim phone!!!! :good: It was already rooted and mostly set to english when I got it. Had to reroot it some apps would say it was rooted others say it wasn't... no biggie. I now have is that in the Dual Card Settings in system settings I set my personal sim (in slot 1 with 3G/H+) for data connection & work sim (in slot 2 with the slower connecton) for voice call & message. The calls all are made on the work sim & I get mobile network on my personal sim. I don't like the stock message app and am used to installing GO sms pro then removing stock app. However it seems the stock msg app is imbedded in the phone app (not a big deal) but I haven't been able to get GO sms pro into dual sim mode that at some point it had but even when I install the older ver that's supposed to have it I don't see the option. And without that enabled it defaults to send msg via sim in slot 1 even when in the system setting I have it set to sim 2. Also I'm getting double incomming msgs. However I still like the phone so far even with the msging issues. I also got a Nillkin case & anti-glare screen protector.
Hope this helps and if anyone knows any settings I'm missing or a better msg app that supports dual sim that wouls be great.

Lenovo has released LTE Version for Thailand Market but it only have single sim card tray.
The Model will be K910L L for LTE.
Hope this Help.

K910 supporting ANT+!
Hello, I've just received my Vibe z K910 WCDMA dualsim. Czech reseller claims it's LTE enabled, which I cannotsettings. m except that in service menu there's such option, but none in normal wireless settings. The LTE coverage in Prague is poor, so I'll see later.
But what I can definitely confirm is working is the ANT+ native support, working both in ANT demo and Endomondo(after installing even the ANT USB service, which is apparently useless in such case but Endomondo required it)

I've had mine for about a month and I'm really liking it. At first i hated it because of the UI and some weird quirks, but after getting them ironed out it's fine.
Shut off the stock texting app, browser and contacts/dialer and replaced them with 3rd party stuff. Also I had an issue with texts coming back to me under a second thread with just the number, no contact name. Very frustrating.
The trick is to put the contacts tel number in contacts in the proper format for Canada it would be +1xxxxxxxxxx
That fixed all the issues.
Great value phone.

What are the 3rd party texting app and contacts/dialer are you using that supports dual sims?
Thanks

I'm only using one sim. I'm using chomp for messaging, make sure to allow it in the securit app, and go contacts pro for contacts and dialer.

Xperia Tablet Z4 - T-Mobile Support?

I about to buy this tablet, but have some concerns regarding the LTE version support with T-Mobile in the USA.
Can i use a phone sim with this tablet? **Just to be clear in regards to phone sim with T-Mobile i mean that i can use the tablet on a phone plan (voice+data) and not data only like they did in the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact**
Does it support T-Mobiles LTE bands?

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.

Totally forgot to update this post! Works great on the AT&T network. I did have to call AT&T to update the APN details but after that it works great. I can make phone calls and use the LTE data without any issues. I even took it to Spain and it worked great there too.

Attempted my research now asking question.

Hi All,
I was researching for a tablet that would work on T Mobile USA ( insert my current sim, will t mobile charge more? ) LTE network as well as allow me to make and receive phone calls using the headphones.
It appears the Z4 wifi LTE version is the one. Is there any other models/brands cheaper priced that would suffice?
Many thanks
I have an unlocked international Z4 tablet now and am using my T Mobile sim in for data usage. Unfortunately mine does not have the native phone app on it so I cannot make traditional phone calls, but can use hangouts no problem. My bill did not change, just put the sim in, made sure the APN settings were correct and I have not had an issue.

Wow, thanks for chiming in appreciate it. I was looking on Amazon, and most questions I found and answered were that this model could dial out directly.
I was under the impression that US specific models were disabled to make calls but no the international versions.
Any other users possibly care to chime in and let me know if you can make calls with the Z4 SGP771 LTE +WIFI model?
Just came across this post on sony website..

I got the same response from Sony when I sent them a message asking about the phone app.
"I just received information that in the country where your SGP711 was sold, i'm afraid SGP771 does not have a built-in dialer and support for phone calls"
I have seen that you can flash firmware or different builds and supposedly this will have the default phone app.

I could be wrong, but I think its the SIM card / Network disabling the dialer perhaps. Glad I didnt cough up that much money , appreciate your reply a lot. :good:

You could flash any international ROM for the Tablet or get hold of a dialer app.
FWIW: I am on the wifi version of the tablet (SGP 712) but just for the fun of it tried VOIP successfully. I use a phone for cell usage and VOIP.

Yes, but I primarily wanted to know if the LTE has a dialler , not VoIP.
According to Sony USA the us spec one does support voice via cellular, not sure I believe them however. Any have Xperia Z4 Tablet Sgp771us/B 1303-5541

i think it won´t depend on whether it has a dialer or not. the lte version is capable of making phone calls - period.
if the dialer was disabled or deleted so easily flash an international rom version (very easy with flash tool) or
install a dialer of you choice from the play store

Below is the version I recently bought from an amazon seller open box / used as their new stock was sourced form S Korea and apparantly is dialler disabled. My version I believe is to be from China / HK region.
Below is the one I managed to find that has the dialler enabled ( got lucky ) Using Xperia Service Menu App from playstore:
customization ver 1296-4830 R9C
phone software: 1292-0698_32.2.A.0.305
Global=LTECA- user ( non dialer version would state Global=nodial-user ) I think

Tether/Hotspot not working?

I can get my device to turn on the hotspot and I can connect other devices, but I have no internet on my phone or the device I connected to from the hotspot (say, my laptop). I am on AT&T in the US and typically in the past I need root to allow hotspot, as most devices on AT&T will give you an error message to go buy a tethering package before you can enable. But that isn't happening with this device, as I can actually connect just without the internet working. So I'm not sure if this is an issue with this phone itself or if this is still an AT&T block, just in a different way. Let me know if you can get access to hotspot and if so what you are doing. Thanks!
Anyone?
I have no problem with hotspot.
AT&T was known for restricting internet sharing for user who dont have tethering plan,
So why dont you try with other sim which has tethering plan?
My carrier doesnt have that limitation, so cant really give you best answer
Go to apn and delete the bottom apn, that will fix it
I have dual sim version (L29). Two 4g sims inserted. Sim1 as main sim.
When tethering my laptop on Sim1, I cannot browse the internet on my phone. Whatsapp messages do not send or receive.
Anyone having similar issues? I'm sure this used to work fine before on my Samsung S5

Well I didn't get the best solution but for the people like me with the tethering issue on model ALP-L29 they can put the sim on the sim 2 slot and tethering and device will have internet. But I still waiting to find a real solution for slot 1 sim. I hope it helps

This is nuts. I too have the Mate 10 dual sim version, and had the same issue; data on my connected device but NOT on the handset itself when hot spot connected. Only 1 APN.
And sure enough, changing the SIM into SIM2 slot fixed this; data simultaneously on handset and connectyed device. But this defeats the purpose of me choosing this model as I wanted the micro SD storage!
So any further advice on getting SIM 1 enabled properly woudl be great.
cheers

wow! i have same experience. sim1 tether, internet doesnt work on phone only on connected device. sim 2 tether, internet works on both device and phone.

I spent an hour on chat support with Huawei this morning and they confirmed this is not correct functionality and to return it to the retailer. Bit hard as this is a grey import in the UK and I don't want to send it back to Hong Kong. Would love to know if anyone has genuinely managed to get SIM1 working on the dual-sim model for tethering?

You're right. This seems a common theme so I've returned the phone and am getting a LG V30. Same price. Huawei aren't quite there yet to be in the Premium phone category. Ok Google never worked; WhatsApp only notified me of messages half the time. Many small issues that collectively ruin the experience....

Do I have to take it to the store for them to do it, or can I just call customer service?
The other response is incorrect. Huawei has a whitelist of carrier MCC/MNC for VoLTE support. US carriers are not on it for LYA-L29.
VoLTE working fine in the middle east for the LYA-L29 for those who are wondering.
I don't know about North America though.

Volte works fine on the P20 Pro. Since that phone was never sold or supported in the USA there is no reason US carriers would be on a whitelist.
Volte also works fine on the Xiaomi MI Mix 2 & 2S which aren't sold or supported here.
Same problem in Canada too...the carrier has to work with Huawei to turn the feature on. I upgraded from an S7Edge which WAS VoLTE enabled by the carrier, so the account has the feature, but it did not automatically carry over.
Looks like there will be a few months before we get this, seeing how long it took for P20 Pro.
Anyone on UK EE with VoLTE available?

Hola
Can you please elaborate. For some of our carriers in Canada VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling are only enabled with carrier branded phones. This is particularly true for Rogers and Fido. If you are dealing with Shaw, Telus and Bell I have seen different scenarios that certain non branded phones working ok for VoLTE and other phones not working at all.
I am with Fido and I bought the Mate 20 Pro from them and VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling work.

I'm with Videotron...hence the difference. They have been notoriously slow to enable the feature on new phones.
On the flip side, I was getting VoLTE on my old phone which was NOT bought from them (it was first registered on Koodo).
Rogers does not allow that -as you mentioned.

A follow-up on my own post:
- we all knew the Canadian version L0C is NOT dual-SIM - I finally got a chance to test this. Bummer.
- I put in my phone a Rogers SIM and VoLTE and VoWiFi WERE INSTANTLY ENABLED. So the software supports it, has to be enabled by the provider via the SIM cfg. Somewhat positive news - as we all thought, Rogers would only allow VoLTE on the phones they sell, the test proved this is not the case.

Anyone else willing to admit they don't even know what it is and turned it off just to get rid of the awful notification?

I can definitely tell that the call quality is a LOT better in my case with VoLTE on, as it uses HD codecs (G.722).
You can try for yourself by turning VoLTE ON and then play with WCDMA vs LTE settings...one will disable it right away. In my case even the call button in the dialer shows HD.
And yes, the damn icon is hideous and won't go away even with System Tuner.

I'm using MintMobile with the Mate 20 Pro. I found out that this carrier does not provide VoLTE service.

MintMobile does provide Volte but they have no idea which phone models it works on so they don't advertise Volte. I had Volte functionality on MintMobile with One Plus 5, Essential PH-1, Xiaomi Mix 2 & Mix 2S, and Huawei P20 Pro.
But it does not work with this phone.
On Telus, the first time I set the phone up it made me jump through a hoop where I went to a Telus site and enabled the VOxxx stuff. Strangely, it seemed to be kinda random whether it was 'on' or not, and before the last 2 updates I don't think you could even trust the icon to be telling you the truth. I'm not sure why this feature is a big deal, codecs or not the voice quality seems fine on this phone regardless. Some people claim that enabling any of the VO stuff gobbles battery, I haven't really noticed.
Much like the AOD, it is sad that we have almost no control over the icons at the top - especially when space is at such a premium there.

Where did you purchase the phone? I've been looking at the 7.2, but I can't get a straight answer if the US version supports dual SIM. The models I do see for sale that explicitly state dual sim are lacking US LTE bands. Perhaps you have one of those?

That's a good point I had not considered. I know I was trying to help the OP, but we were not successful.
I have model TA-1178 and it works fine on MetroPCS; however the SIM card tray only has one opening. The location for the second SIM is outlined but not removed 'cutout'.
I purchased mine Unlocked from Best Buy, and it is listed as Dual SIM. I just never paid much attention as it was a feature I did not need / want.
