Hello guys,
My XZ has a lot of bloatware (Brazil), is there any region that does not have this kind of **** that I can replace my version?
Thanks!
One of the main reasons I'm a fan of Customized NOBA.
What about a spotify?
Tap Tap z XZ
You can install that with any region firmware.
I know but CE1 have preinstaled and can't Uninstall.
Tap Tap z XZ
That's not nice. I can verify Customized NOBA has no Spotify. In fact, it doesn't have anything that isn't a Sony app that you can't uninstall.

What about Facebook and AVG security on NOBO?
I'm on customised UK these 2 apps came preinstalled but I have no love for them.
So the noba is most clean rom

Hey why dont you root your phone and use TiB to remove them?
Youll still be able to restore your phone to factory if need be, using your TA backup?

Yes however I don't require root as much as I used to. Sony supply a native aosp look and feel which fits my bill. And I'm liking the use of my mobile banking apps lately so root will make that use very difficult if not impossible.

Hi, what do you mean by customized NOBA firmware, been looking but can't find it for my XZ US version.
any help would greatly be appreciated:good:

You will find it with Xperifirm.
BUT: Be very careful to check if you can flash this on an US phone.
Most phones in the US are carrier locked - for updates you are at the mercy of your carrier or beg for letting you off his hook (unlock the bootloader).

The only problem you can face is signal reception. I live in USA too and I had UK firmware flashed on my XZ (Noticed UK ftf works better and faster) and I wasn't getting good mobile signal at my work or home + some other areas around the city. I flashed USA version back and mobile signal strength increased again and now I have signal anywhere I go around the City where I couldn't get with UK firmware (I live in Colorado) I dont know if NOBA ftf will cause that too thought. I am on T-Mobile network.

I am no expert here: some ROMs could disable or enable certain GSM or LTE bands depending on the country version and their market or regulations.
I was quite satisfied with reception when traveling the south of the USA with my German (or Central Europe?) ROM on T-Mobile USA. And still am in many different regions of this beautiful planet - last month South Africa.
Head over to the SONY cross device forum. There are some tools to just unlock all bands available on our Qualcomm Modem.

For those of us who will be using T-Mobile as our carrier and are considering buying an international variant of the Z3 instead of the T-Mobile variant, what are all of the pros/cons? There's only a few that I can think of, and some important ones that we need someone to confirm if possible.
Pros:
Unlocked bootloader
Color options other than black
Cons:
No international variant with LTE Band 12 support
No VoLTE support?
No WiFi Calling support (Android 4.4.4 or Android 5.0)?
Can't use Jump! (ie. no insurance)
Although perhaps negligible, less battery life (from having more frequency support)?
16GB Internal Storage
Pretty much summed it up. The battery life difference should be negligible. T-Mobile version does have 32GB internal storage as well.

There is only one thing I cannot find any clarification on, and that's whether or not the T-Mobile version as Band 12 support. T-Mobile's site says no - Sony's site says yes. Do we know which to believe?

I would say that the T-Mobile version definitely has Band 12, but that it isn't active yet and will be turned on when the network is ready.

There's no debate on this. The T-Mobile version (D6616) has LTE Band 12. T-Mobile may simply not be listing it because they don't want to advertise a network that isn't up yet.

Thanks, glad to hear it.
After the Moto X "Pure Edition" I purchased as supposedly having Band 12 and finding out it didn't, I'm overly cautious I guess! Then again, I live in the Bay Area and I think T-mo has a lot of work to do to clear up the Band 12 licenses here unfortunately.
-Collin-
One think to mention of the international version is that it isn't carrier locked and that it is free from T-Mobile's bloatware. I also like a device without carrier's logo on it. Copper and White Z3s looks awesome. Happened the same with my first Xperia Z1, it was international version purple color when all other T-Mo customers has black Z1s.

There is something else that is unclear to me: • VoLTE support! I did see the T-Mobile's version having an option in settings>call settings: Enable VoLTE if available (check mark). So international version won't have this?
I don't know if the D6603 has the VoLTE menu ootion, however on a hardware level I believe it does.

Thanks. I was ready to buy an unlocked version, but I saw this thread, so I searched online yesterday for a good 30+ minutes, even Z3's white pages, specs, but nothing that would mention VoLTE. The interesting thing that I found is that Xperia Z3 Compact, does mention VoLTE support. I also emailed few people on youtube that had made videos about Z3, waiting on their reply.
Anyone able to confirm if T-Mobile VoLTE works on the D6603 model? Screenshot showing the HD icon?
I can confirm it does have volte. Now if we could just get root Haha!! __

I had a D6603 using it on tmobile for a good week. No Volte and no Wifi calling. Thats confirmed.
This white paper PDF from the Sony Developer World website contains charts showing the differences between all the Z3 models. It also shows LTE band 12 support in model D6616.

Load TMobile software on a D6603 Z3??
Hey everyone. I own a international Sony Xperia Z3 model D6603 and was wondering if it was possible to load US TMobile D6616 software on it in order to enable WiFi calling/texting??
Thanks for everyone's help!
I would imagine so. Just use FlashTool and XperiFirm, but be ready to roll back with the proper files in case something goes wrong. So I'm not 100% sure, but I'd imagine you can if the hardware is similar enough. Do at your own risk, though - perhaps someone who knows more than me about this could chime in.
i just put my t mobile sim in a D6603 and can make calls, but i can't get 4g, 3g or even 2g...

Did it work eventually???
I got myself a note 5 from t mobile few months ago.
I don't live in the states but it does work but not perfectly. When I'm on a regular 3g Antena it says I have 4g and when I'm really on 4g it shows 4g LTE. I also have some trouble with reception when other global devices work perfectly fine.
Is there any way to flash a global note 5 modem on my t mobile note 5 so that it works better?
And if so can someone provide some links and info? Can't find anything about that issue.
Thanks ahead.
Anybody?
Depend on wich bands your phone can get, not modem. There is no international version of note 5 n920c/i etc is international, yes, but no idea if exist a international firmware for these device whit no operator bloatware.. these devices n920i,c etc is for regions, there is no official internatonal version of note 5

Yeah I know I can't install the international firmware but there must be a way that I could add/unblock more bands by software. All versions are identical in their hardware.
I don't care about the carrier bloatware I just disabled or remove it using titanium /lucky patcher

Try this app (you need root acces for extra settings)

What's the difference b/w Central Europe vs Customized UK firmware for use with AT&T? I live in the US and just want to enable the fingerprint reader. Dont want to lose signal or VOLTE functionality.
Everyone here is using the customized UK firmware. However I can only find Central Europe MM to download. Could I just go with Central Europe?
Add: to be specific, I can only find this one to use: F8331_39.0.A.3.30_R6B_Central Europe 1 Generic_1304-9023

then why is everyone in the US here trying to get the UK version firmware?
In my experience (with my Z3), the differences between firmware regions amount to things like no NFC icon in the status bar or "4G" instead of "LTE" icons. Sometimes the pre-installed software is slightly different. But the core software was always the same.
Sent from my F8331 using XDA-Developers mobile app
With UK firmware, you will not see LTE on the mobile data bar, only 4G, and you will have a permanent NFC icon. With the CE1 firmware, you will see LTE and no NFC icon. I much prefer the CE1 status bar. As for why everyone is using the UK firmware, I think it's just because it's the most widely posted firmware that worked to unlock the fingerprint on the Z5, so it's continued to be used by default on xda.

Thanks for your reply. However I just found that the voLTE function is not working (I'm with AT&T and it will downgrade to H+ when I'm making a phone call). And some people claim they are able to use voLTE with UK firmware. That's why I'm asking.:crying:

Ohh, I see. I've been using CE1 since before the Nougat update, so I don't know about volte yet. I'm very interested to hear from those who have UK and if volte really works.
That said, it looks like Sony is slowly rolling out volte updates to all the regions, so if you're not in a big hurry all regions should eventually receive the volte functionality. Hopefully.
I'm on the UK firmware and my NFC icon displays in the status bar if I switch NFC on.

I flashed CE1 on my phone that was running Customised NOBA (Nordic) and phone works just fine, smooth and no force closures at all.
I needed to download internet/mms settings as an extra step in order to get optimal speeds over LTE. One thing is missing though, VoLTE is
nowhere to be found. I spoke with carrier support guys and they told me that its firmware related. ITs not a deal braker but I will definitely
flashing my original nougat firmware in near future.

after getting used to the easy and rich diverse custom roms, rooting, kernels and the whatnot in nexus devices, coming to samsung seems a "little" different. getting used to the existence of knox that could limit what you do with a phone in terms of using it "openly"

CSC: G955F0XM1AQF7

REGION: UAE
when i first got the phone wifi was fine. then i got the first update (may), and wifi started going crazy over the two routers i had at home. reading one but not the other, etc. i went to samsung today, and they told me no problem with the phone but could rather be something with the router. the wifi never dropped once connected with good signal, but now out of the blue, it disconnects, and takes a bit to connect back (any help with that?)
secondly, i know the carrier here offers volte, and i see an app in phone "wifi calling"
the tech at samsung said they trigger automatically, but i don't think they really do(right?) and something has to be changed in the phone to set them on/off.correct? any help on that and how to do it would be highly appreciated.
that's it for now and i hope i can get all the input to be able to get the best understanding of all this.

Have you tried resetting both the devices?
First try with a Factory Reset on the Device, Then Factory Reset the Router and Check. Isolate where the issue is. I've seen these kinda behavior caused by Routers, and also Vice versa on Phones as well. Also, You could borrow a S8 from a friend and give it a try, If the other S8 too behaves the same way, Time to invest in a Linksys.

Volte may be in another CSC fw which your UAE does not include. In the UK BTU does not include it but EE's own EVR does. I use EE but need to download and install EVR if I want to take advantage of that.

Excuse me for the following amateur question, but what is ee and evr?
And if i flash another csc, does it void my warranty? Does it trip Knox? Will there be any changes in my phone and the updates i get, etc?
EE is my carrier (UK) and EVR is their CSC which enables VOLTE. Not all do enable VOLTE.
Flashing a samsung CSC won't invalidate your warranty or knox. Have a look on SAMMOBILE to see what is available but you'll need to find a CSC that has VOLTE enabled and one that is OK with your UAE device.

It is at the standard of the H.W not the S.W.
The same questions were asked of the 10 ultra. Some said hard, some software but no one posted any success in opening more bands.

Reasonable question man, those replies suck. It has the same modem as the iPhone 13, it's a Snapdragon X65 5G so technically you should be able to. If not in NV, you could in software programming tool of Qualcomm, might have to be the newest software though. If you could identify the modem chip number in a teardown video possibly we could find the product model number and see if it's a hardware limited or base chip limited by firmware.
That makes sense. Back in the day, I had a Zuk Z2 Pro and it worked but haven't had a phone with a snapdragon since.
Thanks Jdorman12 for replying with actual words, not a single emoji
If I end up getting a 12S, I will give it a try
