Hi All
just got hold of a second user D6653 ,I read that there might be problems with LTE so rang 3UK my provider who said it should be fine except for the low frequency LTE
BTW I live in non LTE area so cant check
Anyone know have any experience with this thanks
I'm guessing there are no other difference with the D6603
ok the LTE works ok in town on 3UK ...I'm better off with a D6603 for roms?

I was curious to find out what is the difference is between the Z3 models?
I was about to purchase this:

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?
Was trying to track down which model of the Z3 I should buy in order to get LTE access on ATT. I have seen some people say to get the 6603 but I was reading a thread that it wasn't working on ATT. Anyone using this phone on ATT and know exactly which model to get in order to use LTE?
The D6603 and D6633 (Dual) both support all of the needed bands for AT&T support. I use a D6633 and have no issues whatsoever on AT&T.
I also use D6633 and get LTE on ATT
D6603 and D6633 will support AT&T LTE. Whatever you do, do not give AT&T your updated IMEI or their system will register it as "unknown" device and you will get 3G only.
I'm using the D6603 on AT&T with no problems (getting LTE just fine).
Hi!
I have the D6653 model, but I need the LTE bands of the D6603.
If I flash the D6603 rom, can I get the bands LTE 700/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 (1/2/3/4/5/7/8/13/17/20)?
Thanks!
I've read on this in the past when I used to own the D6653. The answer is no because it is hardware related, not software. Something about the physical antennas they put in here. This was a reason for selling my D6653 with a big loss back then.
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 !
Hi everybody ,
sorry for my bad english..
my problem is that I bought a xperia Z3 D6616 (Tmobile), but I live in spain and LTE bands from this model are not compatible with my country.
Can I open the LTE bands like D6603 model ?

I am fairly certain it physically does not have the other bands, T-Mobile as far as I know does not disable other bands especially since they have global roaming plans.

I am trying to do this
The bands on the phone should not be locked. Please look up the LTE bands on the phone and see if your carrier supports them:

I am pretty sure it's an exercise in futility as T-Mobile does not block bands, the phone either physically has them or doesn't.
Better return/sell it and get the international version.
