Development for US Version same as International? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Stationed in Italy, want this phone, can I just go to the store this week and start using all the tools in the dev thread?

Yes, the version sold here in Italy is the C6833, which is one of the LTE versions.
When you use any of the mods, make sure you choose the ones marked "C6833" and not "C6802" or anything else.
Roms and ftfs for the international version work on the C6833 as well, but you'll lose the 4G (or LTE).
And if you want to save a lot of money, go on the glistockisti site, they sell it for 599 euros...

Chinese Samsung Galaxy S II

My sister is in Shanghai on China Mobile, and she found a deal on a gs2 out there.
However in Canada she uses TELUS, which uses hspa on frequency bands 850/1900 mhz. TELUS does NOT use GSM. She wants to be able to use it in Canada too.
I was doing some Googling and I found that the China Mobile gs2 uses a different technology for their 3G but I'm not 100% sure.
Does anyone know more about this? Please let me know, thank you.

there are 3 types of phone sold in China
Korean version (with the stuff for korean tv, nfc etc)
European version
and Hongkong version.
they advice chinese customer to buy the hongkong version if in the future china get the 4G. they say the european version wont work for it.
that's all I can tell you, I'm dumb with all the technical stuff
Oh really! That is helpful tho, thank you.

Will you be buying an international version or an US version?

I'm in a dilemma in whether if I should buy the international version with the superior performing Exynos, or the US version with Snapdragon S4 with LTE. Although I've heard that one cannot really notice the performance difference in every day uses, I would like to go for the device with the best compatibility with the biggest development community. Please vote on which one would you be consider getting, as of now before either devices are released.
Please do NOT call yourself a developer unless you are capable of creating low level releases such as kernels and ROM. App developers and people who thinks they knows a lot about technology doesn't count.
its a little too soon to tell. i am still not totally convinced that the us is going to be stuck with the krait. att for one might work it with the exynos (you should change the tegra3 before you get pounced)... that is of course if the rumors are true that bell canada is gonna do lte with the quad.
personally i dont need lte and it is doubtful that att will have lte in nashville before my yearly upgrade. so i definitely want the quad core chip that samsung designed the phone around vs the krait that wasnt.

lots of acronyms and proprietary names running around through our heads right now. decisions decisions.
ive got an itch to run and get the hox. but i cant until i know what gs3 att is going to get... and when. i sure would love to take the hox for a 29 day spin b4 i buy samsungs latest version of goodness.
USA version chimes with exynos. It's the same that Rogers is getting. Atleast Att will get it.

AT&T will find a way to ruin the phone. There is no way in hell i'm getting a tainted version
will Samsung sell the unlocked version here in the USA?
International for me no brainer. It will already be unlocked, will get the most developers and Cyanogenmod soonest, generally better resale value (of course, I don't get the subsidies, but I don't have to sign a contract either).
I won't feel too bad if I found out the American version with S4 chip would be faster or at least have better battery life.

nope. the carriers will not allow it. there is always amazon and ebay.
International version is not an option for me (no GSM coverage) so I have to wait for Sprint/Verizon to launch it. I am not happy about that
International version - I live in Europe...
I'm upset though that I'll have to wait a bit longer for the 32GB version as it won't be available in my country right away (or it will be overpriced)
Sometimes living in Central Europe sucks

International doesn't mean it's for a country other than your own, it means that it's for multiple countries.
Thus, it's the international.

[Q] Where to buy in Japan?

Does anyone know where you can buy the Galaxy S3 in Japan. Im looking for the unlocked international version.. Online shops and actual store locations would really be helpful.
Don't know where if your buying in person but for online orders that you want shipped internationally
http://www.kyoex.com/
Will have them at some point when they launch in japan they sell them unlocked and switched to English.
However there spec's and design appear like they will be the exact same as the US/Canadian varients with the snapdragon CPU and 2GBs of ram.

Sorry I realized I mis-read your post I thought you wanted the Japanese model shipped internationally lol.
If you want the international model sent to japan try http://www.expansys.jp/ they are selling the international version GT-I9300s rather than the custom ones that North America and Japan have ordered from Samsung.

Which Modems to use in USA

So I decided to go with the international version for the what's going to be incredible Dev community. Since I have an unbranded unlocked international phone, what is the best combo modem/apn for me.?
I use it on an AT&T Unlimited HSPA+ plan and live in southeast Michigan. Anyone have and recommended modems? XXLE8 is the baseband I'm currently using and I'm looking for some good APN's. I don't want at&t to know I teather too.

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.
