[Q] Question about Xperia Z3 models and service

I was curious to find out what is the difference is between the Z3 models?
I was about to purchase this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221566146447...:MEBIDX:IT
But after further research i saw that different models we having an issue using 4g LTE service.
Basically is there any issue running the D5803? I have AT&T and I didn't want to risk dropping $500 on a cellphone that would be restricted by my carrier to 2G.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I would opt for the D6603 first if you can find it and swing the $ or the dual SIM D6633. D6603 has more support for LTE bands ATT and Tmo but the D6633 will also work. I have the D6633 on US Tmobile and LTE and HSPA+ service is excellent.
Thanks for the info, but what is the real difference between the D6633 and the D5803? What would i need an additional sim slot for?
I guess a better question is what are the disadvantages of the D5803?
Thanks
Looks like I figured it out the D5803 is the 4.6" display. I did not know that. Its a good thing i probed a bit deeper. Id much rather have the 5.2"
Is there any particular model of the 5.2" i should be on the look out for?

D6653 not working in South Korea at all?

My OLLEH 3G service sim works in the iPhone 6 , unlocked HTC M8, and unlocked Galaxy S5,
Nexus 5, etc
but does not get a signal on the Xperia Z3 D6653, even after messing with selecting carriers, etc.
Supposedly the D6653 is ok on 2100 band....
Any help would be appreciated x 10000
I suppose I could go down to the Sony store, but Sony sells the D6653"KR" and isn't that the same model?

Tmobile Z3 D6616 poor signal

Hi guys,
My Z3 D6616 Tmobile signal is weak when I travel to Asia country and use the local SIM here. I use the same sim in the HTC One M7 Sprint that was unlocked to use global SIM and the signal is very good but when I put that sim in my Z3 D6616 and the signal is not stable and poor. I tried some other sims but it was the same.
Is there anyone meet this issue ?
What should I do to install or do something with it because I also love my Z3 ?
Thank you very much !

Xperia Z5 Compact not receiving 4G signal with Rogers Canada

Hi everyone,
I just got my Xperia Z5 Compact from my dad, but the problem is that I can not get 4G signal with Rogers Canada. My Z5 Compact was bought from the US
I asked support from Rogers and they said since Rogers does not carry the Xperia Z5 Compact, and my sim is working properly with other phones, they cannot offer me help.
My phone current settings:
- Preferred network type: LTE (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM
- Rogers LTE - Itemobile.apn
Can someone help me? Thank you!

Check if the bands and frequencies of your carrier match the bands and frequencies supported by the device. There is more to it than just it being 4G LTE. If bands and frequencies don't match, it won't work.
Also, your radio/modem may not be compatible. Some devices that move to a different network have to flash a modem to work on the other network. That doesn't mean that a compatible modem is available for your device though. Some devices switching networks have to live without 4G because the device hardware just doesn't support what the network has regardless of what software you apply.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS FOR EVERYONE TO SHARE
A USA purchased X5 Compact has all the LTE bands that Rogers uses. As long as the APN settings are correct (and I'd assume that these settings come from the SIM card), the phone should work. Does it work otherwise, just not with 4G?
