Hello all, first of all I'd like to say I did try searching but I think I ended up confusing myself even more. My friend from Brasil would like to buy this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony-Mobile---Xperia-ZL-Smartphone-3G---Black/1306937762.p?skuId=1306937762&contract_desc=&sellerId=34492929&productCategoryId=pcmcat156400050037&id=mp1306937762#tab=overview and use it in Brasil because it's half the price of the ZQ. This is the C6502 but as I understand it, the ZQ version sold in Brasil is the C6503? From the information I gathered, he'd only be able to use 3g on this phone. I just need some clarification for my friend so he doesn't waste all his money. Thank you!:laugh:
Hi @cmjkxa, i'm from Brazil, and i brought my Xperia ZQ 2 days ago, on my phone the 4g connection Works normally fine, but i think the Xperia ZL will not work, since the only diference of the ZQ from ZL is the LTE Connection, i recommend he to buy ZQ if he want to use 4G, i bought my phone for R$1500 here

That is pretty much correct... The C6502 has a different network modem with 2G/3G only and it also includes an extra sensor (barometer) while the C6503 has a 2G/3G/4G modem which includes the 4G band used here in Brazil (2500 MHz).
Regardless of that, he should be able to use the C6502 here without any problems, just only without a 4G connection (something I don't even use due to the prohibitive cost of 4G from the carriers and the very weak coverage)

Hi I was considering an Xperia pro as my next phone ( im coming from an Xperia x10). I was wondering if anyone has used this phone on AT&T's medianet unlimited data plan. So, can anyone confirm whether this phone will work with medianet?
Cheers!

I am. But avoid this Mobile; OS update turns it into a nightmare!! Sony support sucks!! SE support was wonderful until Sony took over. ICS update turns the phone into a mess!!
But I do use a regular phone data plan. I don't have anything but mobile broadband, so I use my Arc as a modem, especially WiFi modem. Update has destroyed that, makes it a nightmare to connect pc to Mobile.
MOO, so if you are happy, go for it!!

OK.. I was asking about the mk16a Xperia Pro. Not the arc. Good rant though!
Seriously, has anyone successfully used the Xperia Pro mk16a in the USA with at&t's mediaNet unlimited data plan?
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app
It works fine..
He's right. I have feature phone unlimited data, no problems. Well, there are some problems, but they are negligible, I can certainly live with them.
The main reason why I went with an unlocked Mobile. NEVER AGAIN WILL I EVER GET A BRANDED MOBILE!!

Hey guys. Guess whaaaaat?
I got an unlocked xperia pro and it works perfectly on mediaNet!
This is sick!
Great news!! Already blew through 16 gig this month. I have to have streaming video, portable WiFi for my pc, and YouTube, no television. Just don't give at&t your IMEI number. I didn't. Will NEVER buy another branded phone, EVER. Unlocked from now on!!!

Well it looks like at&t has caught up with the mk16a xperia pro. I've been shunted to the 3gb data plan automatically.
BTW, it doesn't matter if you give them your imei or not. They can get that through the gsm connection anyway...

OK guys so I got a new Xperia S from a cousin that moved in from the USA. The phone is locked onto AT&T. I currently haven't got the phone (cousin is kissing it goodbye for a few days). So does the phone have a SIM in it that I should remove? Also is there any free way to unlock it so it can work with any SIM carrier? I am in the EU. Thanks guys. If there is no free way please give some cheap alternatives. Thanks again.

He is correct. AT&T never sold the Xperia S so it can't be locked to them. Any Xperia S purchased in the US is already unlocked. Now the Xperia ion is a different story.
m looking to buy Xperia Ion LT
and i found a great price from a USA seller.
it says (UNLOCKED) AT&T
does that mean i can use it in another region of the world? as in the middle east ?
using sim card of course
thanx

As long as the bands are supported in your area it should work fine.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
Yup, check what band your carrier uses and see if the ion supports it. Here in honduras my carrier uses 850 band for 3g and gprs, my ion gets signal and 3g just fine.

also on wind need to know this too, but might switch to something else, so does C6502 work properly on other network?

I got it on ebay for 599 the seller is nevr-msrp.
C6502 works properly with wind. But since unlocking the bootloader I have flashed c6503 and found it works better with wind

hey so you flashed the whole c6503 with baseband and all, if so you think if you flash c6506 you can get LTE with c6502?

Well If your feeling adventurous enough go ahead and flash c6506, it would do me no good as wind does not have lte

The LTE is hardware related and not a software compatibility issue. Otherwise they would have made one phone that works everywhere just by flashing a software version.

The z and zL have the same internals. Are the ROMs compatible?

I would also like to know the answer to this question?
Hello folks..
Im just wondering if anyone of you TRIED to insert an LTE SIM to Xperia Acro S? Im wondering about the mobile internet speed if possible. If you have LTE sim with data, can you go try to insert it to your Acro S and do a speedtest?
THank you and hoping to hear from you :laugh:
If it supports it i see why it shouldent work
try inserting the sim and going to settings to see if lte has shown up

LTE requires a proper LTE frequencies built into the phone. Something that XAS doesn't have. The SIM is only part of the process

Thanks for the response.. you know, im outdoor most of the times with my laptop so USB tethering is vital for me. Now, Im considering to buy another LTE phone, can you guys suggest some which costs just right?
Im thinking this Xperia SP but color saturation are poor like Z and V is an older model so I guess i dont want it. Plus the 8gb internal storage is annoying.. if you have any other phones to recommend within the same price range will be appreciated a lot
