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?

Hi, Does any know if its all vice versa?
AT&T LTE phone and T-Mobile LTE phone using it with a T-Mobile SIM, (vice versa) T-mobile & A&T LTE phone using AT&T SIM?
(Both LTE phone is same model type also unlocked & using in urban BIG city)
Will there be any difference speed LTE and speed 3G & 4G you receive?
Will the LTE signal not be as strong each other?
Will be any problem each other (vice versa)?
Which hardware AT&T or T-Mobile device (same model) is better having multi-LTE or more compability network each other (freq band spectrum)?
I don't really know much about LTE signals between AT&T and T-Mobile, compatibility, etc. So, I was wondering if you can help me to decide which one are those? How long to get unlock code from the 1st day i purchased with full price AT&T and T-Mobile device?
Please...please... help for answer & information. I'm very appreciate and thank you so much for explanation everything. :good::victory:
P.S. Sorry & apologize about my bad english
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).
I know that verizon has it's own Z3v, but from what I can tell the z3 from tmobile has the same bands on it's radio as the verizon variant.
If my z3 from tmobile is unlocked can I use it on Verizon? I do not have a current verizon sim card to test, so I thought someone here might have tried already. Would rather just keep my existing phone than go to a lesser version of it on verizon.
Thanks ahead of time...
No its not possible, as they need to register your ESN and considering the D6616 is GSM only, it does not have an ESN.
Also you cannot use Sprint/Verizon on each others network as they won't allow it (ESN) . But you can use Sprint and Verizon phones, those which also have GSM in addition to CDMA on AT&T and T-Mobile
I used my Sprint LG G2 (supports CDMA & GSM) on T-Mobile till I got the Z3.

Thanks for the info. I didn't have my hopes up, but it would have been nice.
hi just purchased a USA htc win phone ,does anyone know if 4g will work in UK ,if so witch provider cheers
no body tried then
not much happening here then
Not sure
I have just bought from USA a HTC One M8 T-Mobile 0P6B140 which I have unlocked. It is working fine but although it shows it is on Vodafone UK 4G, using the app NET CHECK it reports 3G HSDPA/HSUPA 57mbit. The only thing that I haven't got working is MMS. I have entered the APN details for my contract Vodafone sim which I found on the net, and there are various, but it tells me it cannot send and to contact mobile op. for settings.
As for the 4G, I live in a rural area it may be that Vodafone are transmitting on band 20 (800 MHz) and this phone doesn't support that. Vodafone only have the 800 and 2600 frequencies, band 7 and 20. My phone uses 3 (1800), 4 (AWS). 7(2600), 13 (not sure). I might be wrong with these.
Overall I am pleased, the phone is superbly built and it gives me something to think about!
I have the mms working fine, it was just the APN/MMS settings. So it is just the 4G not working but I can stream video from my synology ds214play with the 3g HSDPA/HSUPA.
Hi, LTE support depends on which carrier version you are bringing to Europe. My Verizon version did not work because it supports only "non-European" LTE Bands.
Now that I am using the AT&T version I can use full LTE in Europe (except the 800mhz band, which doesn´t matter for my country).
Be also aware that AT&T and obviously T-Mobile change the firmware so the phone will display 4G when in reality it is on 3.5/3.75G and LTE when it is on real 4G.
Cheers,
T.
Got a Vodafone SIM in my D821 and cannot get a 4G signal (GPRS or HSPA/HSPA+ only). Put the same SIM in an Xperia Z1 Compact and immediately picked-up 4G. Also tried in a Note 4 that also got 4G no problem. All user settings on the N5 are correct... APN, network type, etc. Tried forcing LTE from the hidden test menu and just dropped signal altogether. ROM is OTA 6.0.1.
Also, I have noticed that if I select network, I only see 'Vodafone UK', whereas on the Xperia Z1 Compact, I see 'Vodafone UK 2G', 'Vodafone UK 3G' and 'Vodafone UK 4G'. Same for the other networks.
Any ideas?
