[Q] Hero 9300 + in the United Kingdon

Hi everyone at XDa and members
I have recently purchased a Hero 9300 + From android for cheap to use in the uk.
Well the phone has arrived and ive used it for two days and i have to say its better than i expected, even exceeded my expectations.
I am using a orange and giff gaf sim, however when i topped up my Orange sim whenever i make a call it comes up with roaming .... I am assuming its because the phone is chinese and im in the uk ..... My question is .... Is there a way around this as i have no idea about rooting and would rather not have to use an international sim just so i can use my phone in the uk.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Also im new to XDA so thanks in advance.

[Q] Help Moving to canada, need new phone and new connection advice anyone?

So I'm finally moving out of my hometown in India and am off to Toronto. It will be a fond goodbye to my 2 year old DHD..
Though I am really confused about what service provider to switch to and what plans they might have. I'm also thinking nexus 4 but rumors of HTC M7 are making me mad.
Any advice would be appreciated. :laugh:

yeah i've been looking and rogers seems to have the best plans. others have left me feeling rather confused. Just need to know how their services are.
Any ideas on phones? the 3 year contract terms have left me confused as well
just checked rogers website, apparently you can't get a connection without purchasing a phone from them

Assuming your DHD is rooted / SOFF / unlocked and the radio is 850/1900 you can use it on Telus, Rogers, Bell, or Fido.

[Q] Would this phone work unlocked in Canada?

hi
I love the look of this phone...I currently have the Sony Xperia Pro and this phone is a step up, memory and processor wise....
However I am nervous that if I buy one on ebay that maybe it will be incompatible with Rogers, just wondering if any clever OR knowledgeable soul with first hand experience would know if this will work on the Rogers network in Canada?
Any replies will be very much appreciated thank you
No problem at all, you can completely unlock your future phone using this. Worked for me in Germany.
I'm using one in Canada on the Wind network. It's working great.

E6603 vs E6653 Difference - What to do?

Hey all,
So Handtec just released what version they will be getting and its the E6603, seems to have all the bands necessary for AT&T. There is also a E6653 available from Clove, I looked at the developer thing from sony, there seems to be no difference in the bands. So what is the difference in model number.
With that said... I have been rocking an iPhone 6 Plus the last year. This is my first iPhone and while it is nice. I have been itching to get back to Android. I got an invite to buy a Oneplus 2 and bought it, now I'm regretting it. The sony seems like the device to get, I rocked the z3 for about a month when it came out. I have thought of using the Oneplus for a month until the Z5 comes out, but not sure... Thoughts?
only difference as far as the whitepaper goes is that the e6603 supports cat4 LTE, and the e6653 supports cat6
Hi ,
Here is your most appealing thing so that is the(the whitepaper goes is that the e6603 supports cat4 LTE, and the e6653 supports cat6 )

Do we know which one will have an unlockable bootloader? Or is it too early to know?

none of these seem destined to head to T-Mobile as a specific variant, so both can probably be unlocked, as per usual.
Ordered E6653 today, will be here next week.
HELP???
I live in the usa,and ordered the e6603 from handtec. Should I get the cat 6 capable e6653 from clove instead? Also I can't seem to find that model on clove.

Really a personal choice. If the only difference is cat 4 or cat 6 LTE it doesn't really matter. I ordered E6653 because its available now from a seller I have dealt with on numerous occasions in Taipei.
I assume this topic also goes for the compact models as the white paper shows the same differences. Still torn between z5 and compact but was considering doing it now from probably the same eBay seller. I'm in the USA anything I need to worry about ordering one of those phone such as it being stuck on another language or being locked (if they claim its unlocked which I do believe it is)

I use eBay seller 23port. I have purchased a few phones from them and never had an issue. Always brand new unlocked devices. Shipped today, arriving Wednesday.
Are we able to use the cat6 lte on cat4 network? At&t still doesn't have a lot of cat6 lte band. If I buy E6653, will I be able to use the LTE for AT&T?

Thank you!!
Is anyone aware of any online retailers that sell the E6653 variant? I can't seem to find any expect bizrus oline which doesn't ship to the US apparent or at least I can't find that option.
For anyone who wanted to know, a reddit user confirmed that the E6653 model is bootloader unlockable.
Any way you could post the link? I've been searching for confirmation on this for days

Device actually arrived yesterday, not bad for shipping from Taiwan on Friday. Anyway, took it out last night and this morning but not getting LTE on AT&T. LTE Discovery app shows band 17 available but the device is not connecting to it. Network setting is 4G preferred. Must have something to do with cat 6 vs cat 4. I am in a fairly rural area in New England. Anyone else get an E6653 on AT&T in a major metropolitan area that can chime in?

F8331 from UK

Hello everyone, new member here. I have searched through many threads here, and am unable to find what I am looking for. I had purchased an Xperia XZ F8331 from the UK, a pre-order as no retailer I contacted in North America could give me a date on when it would be available. Clove Technologies is where I purchased, and after talking to them, checking with my mobile carrier, both deemed the phone would work. However, I get no LTE, and my regular phone service is very poor, only 1, the odd time 2 bars of service. My Xperia Z1 will get full bars and LTE in the same spot. I have hardly used it, have sent it back for warranty and it came back with no difference. I have found that others here in Canada have the same phone, purchased elsewhere with a different customization number. My number is 1305-2216, customized UK. I have seen 3 different ones, that seem to be working fine. However, I can't find them all in XperiCheck. 1304-9026 is there, but with a lower software version than my phone. The other 2 are 1308-0262 and 1304-7008. Sony Uk has been no help, and the retailer has not helped me either. I have had this issue since I got the phone, and don't want to have a very expensive paper weight. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
