Is there anyway to tell which international firmware you have? - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

I just received my girlfriend's Sony XZ premium thru Amazon, the seller is MELOFONE and it was suppose to the US version, but it was not.

Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialer and then go into "Software info" and at the top it will say "Phone Software Version:"

Go to settings - support - tools - diagnostics - facts

It appears its the Hong Kong version which is perfect now I dont have to flash that ROM

Lg v10 dual sim (h962) official thread

I have the H962 (from Taiwan) and it has good band support for Telstra and Optus in Australia. This model
- Running 5.1.1 Build LMY47V
- Carrier Bloat-ware free
- Only had two items in Chinese post setup (one folder I just renamed and the keyboard and a ENG/Chineese char swap button I removed)
- FM Radio Std
- Bands Supported are: https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/A3pwO/lg-v10-h962
Of potential interest it has the ability to do an "Enable OEM unlock" under the developer options. If any dev needs system pulls etc then please let me know (and the method).
Let me know of any Q!

Hi jmone, can you confirm if your H962 can support 4G+3G/3G+4G or only 4G+2G/2G+4G?
I'm in Taiwan now and thinking of buying the H962 but there are no working display set to test out if the 2nd sim card can be on 3G network while the 1st is on 4G.
Appreciate your help!

So I gave it a quick test with my SIM (optus) and a mates (telstra) and was surprised how well integrated it is. I've attached a screen shot at – https://www.dropbox.com/s/m40dpabwi32yu24/2015-11-25 23.14.09.png?dl=0
- At the top you see an Icon for both SIMs with a Box around the "active" one.
- At the bottom right you see a switch SIM icon that changes what is the "active" one
- You can receive calls etc from both SIMS without switching anything and in the history your Calls and Text are marked as Sim 1 or Sim 2
- When calling or sending a TXT you can toggle what sim to use
- In the settings screen you can select which sim you want to use for Data (eg only one at a time)
- Notification windows pop up on some actions letting me know if I was using the Optus or Telstra sim
- I also got a pop up asking if I wanted to setup a call diversion so if you are on a call on one sim and a call comes in on the other it goes to msg bank but I did not play with this.
If you are a 2 phone user this would greatly simplify life. Let me know if you need me to more thoroughly test anything.

Mmm not for me - invalid MMI
...also on the 2 sim operation - I'm not sure how to check what the second sim is using, as the V10 Settings reported:
- Sim 1 = 4G
- Sim 2 = GPRS
I'm only guessing but as we don't use VOLTE, voice calls will be on 3G for Sim 1, so it may be only 2G for Sim 2??? I also tried using "Network Signal Info Pro" to see what it reported but it was only showing details for Sim 1. If you know a better way of testing please let me know and I'll try that.

Hi Jmone, I just received my h962 (Taiwan ver.), and wondering the method to root and install recovery. Would you please help me to confirm? I'm not sure the recovery for h901 will also work for h962. Xposed is so much important to me...
your suggestion will be so much helpful to me. Thank you.
I'm note sure on how to root either. I'm happy if a dev wants to suggest what to try including how to pull our existing system in case it is needed.
Just did a quick test. It seems like I cannot even get into fastboot. Kinda like what the Verizon guys are getting. Can anyone confirm this?
Just got an OTA Software Update:
- V10b-NOV-30-2015
- 71.36MB
- Summary "Phone usability and functionality has been further improved"
Only took a few minutes to install (and a bit longer on first boot to upgrade the apps). At first pass I don't know what has changed as it is still reporting as running 5.1.1 Build LMY47V
I think it is the fingerprint scanner fix for when the V10 is in a case (working much better for me). Also the SW Version nows has "V10b-TWN-XX" , but I don't know what it was before
Dual sim : lte4 both ?
No recovery and root yet ?
I was told sabre dac hifi is now avaiable for all audio apps ,is it ?,like neutron ,poweramp ,and streaming ,like spotify ,deezer ,etc...etc..
Tks giovanni.

Is there any model which support LTE band 20? Thx.
Will the H962 work on T-Mobile's LTE network?
I'm guessing Band 2 (1900mhz) and 4(1700mhz/2100mhz)?
Thanks in advance...
The H962 is not good for full T-Mobile band support - https://www.frequencycheck.com/carrier-compatibility/aGzcY/lg-v10-h962/t-mobile-united-states

AT&T Flex 950H on 5.1.1 Call forwarding and call waiting doesn't work

Hi there! I recently bought brand new AT&T H950 (unlocked international version) from Amazon. It came with factory loaded android 5.1.1. Now I'm using it in Europe (Bulgaria) and I noticed following issue:
Call forwarding and call waiting settings are not accessible and doesn't work even via star codes. When I try to access them through the menu Call Settings > Additional Settings it shows Call Settings Error (Service Unavailable) message. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me in working this problem.
Thanks!
I believe the 950 models all have this problem. My 950 has the problem you indicated and I have not seen a solution for this yet

Firm wire issue problem

Hi...I am using a galaxy note 5 which was bought from usa under verizon mobile phone company which I believe to be unlocked since I can use my local sim carrier in this device. The problem is that.... I am facing with software update. You see the software update option is very much supposed to be in this pattern.....
settings>about device>software update.
But I am seeing the software update option directly inside the settings option, right underneath 'about device' option rather than seeing inside 'about device' option which really confuse me. And also upon clicking on software update which is located underneath about device (ofcourse -_-) Says that 'software update is temporarily unavailable'.
And 2nd issue is I cant find this device's imei number. Of course I know the procedure of finding imei number which is open dial pad and dial *#06#. But when ever I dial *#06# the dial pad remain unchanged rather than popping up the imei number.
Please guys help me out with this issues

[Q] Best Snapdragon variant for UK

Hey all!
I know there was a lot of discussion about this in the early days of the note 20 ultra but I'm trying to find a straight forward answer to a simple question.
I'm based in the United Kingdom and have the Exynos variant of the note 20 ultra. If I was to switch to a Snapdragon international version which is best suited and had the following (if any)?
- dual SIM
- 5g (working with UK frequencies)
- unlocked bootloader
Thanks in advance for any help provided!
Until today I would have steered you away from the N9860 TGY from Hong Kong, but we now have the magic solution to unveiling 5G service (hopefully) for all networks with a quick dabble in the service menu.. Certainly the previously absent EE 5G is now present and correct. 3 and Vodafone were already supported. Not sure about O2.
It is dual SIM, if you don't mind losing the SD slot.
No idea about the bootloader. I'm not messing with it.
Firmware updates used to lag behind badly, but we have caught up finally, for now at least.
I haven't got any reason to complain now that it's fully functional and with big cost savings over the official UK stock.
I've no complaints over the Snapdragon N20 Ultra 5G I imported from Hong Kong via WondaMobile.
Signal is excellent and so is the optimisation over the Exynos version.
I don't use Samsung Pay so can't say if it works or not but Google Pay works as it should.
I'm on o2 Payg and they don't yet offer 5G to my type of contract and I also use Vodafone Payg but 5G isn't available where I am unfortunately.
Mine is dual sim 256gb version which was over £100 less than the UK version I sent back to Samsung UK.
I prefer not to root etc.
tdodd can you elaborate in regards what to do in the Service Menu to get 5G working. I've seen people use sim slot 2 that works for them or they change csc
You need to install the Google phone dialer and make it default.
Then copy/paste this string into the dialer....
*#*#276633683782#*#*
This will open the service menu, but not in the right place.
Press [5] RF TEST
Press [3] ANT TEST SETTING
Use the three dot menu at top right and press Back
The steps above will reveal the full set of menus.
Press [2] UE SETTING & INFO
Press [1] SETTING
Press [1] PROTOCOL
Press [4] GCF
Press [3] REMOVE ONLY NR WHITELIST
Use the three dot menu to press END
Reboot the phone.
This should allow 5G to function on all UK networks subject to contract and coverage restrictions.
There are some possible other optimisations through the service menu, but not required for unlocking 5G. See this thread from post 81. Earlier posts are a bit out of date.

Once you've made the changes and rebooted you can return to the Samsung dialer if you prefer. The Google dialer is just needed to get into the service menu.

Thank you for the walk through
Seems quite a slog to get faster download speeds for large files.
Think I'll stay with 4G and 4G + for the time being

Question Not able to use 5G in India

Hello,
I got this phone purchased from the USA and am using it in India. There are two prominent 5G providers here. Jio, which does not recognize my device as "True 5G", and Airtel, which says my device supports 5G but needs an update. The official Lenovo community guys have asked me to contact the place of purchase, which I can't.
What are my options? Will I be able to use 5G on this device in India?

Check what band requirements your carrier has for 5G.
Then on phone app dial pad enter
*#*#4636#*#*
Select "Phone information"
In the Phone info screen tap the 3 dots on upper right
Select the "Select Radio Band" and select as needed.
Hope that works. If not check your APN.
