Hi guys, I recently bought a Xperia Z1 Compact. I'm still using the same SIM card as my old One X which I got almost two years ago. Since getting the Z1C, I have never seen LTE or 4G displayed in the status bar and it's mostly always been H+. I am with Orange Switzerland and they have 4G coverage where I am and it's available to all their customers as long as their phone supports it.
I did a Speedtest and apparently I'm getting around 10Mbps which according to this article: http://www.zdnet.com/au/speed-test-how-fast-is-4g-really-7000007995/ qualified for 4G. But then shouldn't it display LTE in the status bar?
I've chosen "4G (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM" in the settings but when choosing Orange 4G in Network Operators, it would say: "Could not connect to the selected network. Make that the SIM card is inserted and that the selected network is available."
Could someone please let me know if I really have LTE or not and if not, how I should proceed? Thanks!
Contact your operator, you may need a new sim.
Ask them what LTE frequency band is/are available in your area. And compare it against the Xperia Z1 Compact. The supported bands should be
LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600

I don't know about Switzerland, but here in Germany, whenever I get an LTE connection it displays as "4G" in the status bar. (I also get "H+" from time to time)

Orange Switzerland supports 800, 1800 and 2600 according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks so maybe my SIM card doesn't support LTE. But I was under the impression that 3G (or H+) compatible SIM cards are also compatible with LTE?

no, at least here in brazil, if i want to use 4g, i have to ask for a 4g slim card. currently, im using a 3g sim, and it also wonto conect to 4g , even if its available for me to use it.

Okay, thanks for your confirmation. It's just that I saw these two sites: http://optus.custhelp.com/app/answe...g/4g:-general-device-&-sim-card-compatibility and https://www.m1.com.sg/Personal/FAQ/Mobilephonesandplans/postpaid/4GService which both state that a 3G sim card is enough to get 4G connectivity on a compatible phone. But perhaps it's different with each carrier?

i may be wrong, but that link only says that you can join a 4g network with your 3g sim, but it doesnt say nothing about using data plan on 4g.
here in brasil, we HAVE to buy a 4g card, to use 4g data plan. dont know if i can use 4g networks with my 3g sim card just for talking, thou.
go to about -> status, and see in wich network youre conected.
Here in our country we have 2 network operators that provide 4g LTE the first one can only connect to LTE using a 4g sim card. Using a regular sim you can only connect up to H+. And the other one let's you connect to 4g even with just a regular sim card although it throttles your data whenever you reach 1gb usage in 1 day hahaha! Yeah I know pretty useless.
I have also Orange contract in Switzerland. And I get 4G in most places. Where do you live?
However I received a new simcard (since I got the normal size in my S2). You might want to contact orange customer service or go to an orange shop.

I had to get a new SIM from O2 here in the UK to use 4G.
Something similar is the case with my Z1 Compact. I'm in Hungary, Central Europe, and never saw the 4G / LTE sign on my phone. I had an old SIM card that I've cut to the appropriate size, which worked, but I suspected that maybe it wasn't 4G-capable, so got a new one from T-Mobile last weekend.
Now I have a 4G-capable SIM card, 4G data plan (newly registered just two weeks ago, and it's already running according to my T-Mobile account info on their website), and there is 4G coverage in Budapest, the capital city, and still, when I try to choose the 4G T-Mobile H network, it tries to connect and then drops back to 3G.
I'm going to wait until this weekend and then get someone from T-Mobile on the phone about this.

I'm in Luzern. My friends who are also with Orange can get 4G. I guess I'll contact them but I might wait until my contract expires in a couple of months since I might change carriers. No point buying a new SIM card now if I'm gonna change later. Thanks everyone for the help!

This is the message I get when I try to connect to the 4G network:
I've figured out why I don't have 4G at the moment.
I have a pay as you go plan, not a monthly plan, and apparently I need a monthly plan to have 4G with the data plan that I use.
Kind of sucks, but at least now I know that it's not a setup, phone or SIM card problem.
So I finally went to an Orange shop. The guy there was very helpful but he said that I shouldn't need a new SIM card for 4G to work. He then checked various settings but everything seemed to be in order. In the end, he gave me a new SIM card and it worked! I was surprised that I didn't need to pay for the new SIM card. So now 4G is working as advertised

There was a rumor that the TP2 would be a hybrid of GSM & CMDA. I have not been able to find confirmation the phone can indeed be unlocked to use both.
The Telus branded one supposedly can be? Has anyone ever unlocked it for use on both GSM & CDMA successfully?
Also, anyone know if the Sprint/Verizon version coming out soon will be the hybrid version?
I have the Telus one and have sim unlocked it. I have been able to use it on Telus as well as using my SIM on AT&T in the states.
the verizon one probably, will likely give u 900/1800 and lock u into only CDMA in the states.
You can absolutely unlock the GSM/SIM functionality. I have the Telus TP2 and have done so. You cannot, however, unlock CDMA at all. So the Telus phone will always be on Telus Network (or roaming partner) when in CDMA mode. You can use any GSM network though when unlocked, including Rogers, ATT, I'm sure T-Mobile too... I've tried Rogers and now using Optus in Australia. Getting HSUPA in Oz, no sweat. You'll usually have to get the internet settings from the web or your new GSM provider as every phone is usually factory set for the original provider's network info.
Sprint's TP2 has both and is going to market it as such.

That is not necisarily true,you can use the NAM2 function and run another CDMA carrier on the other NAM. Before I had my Sim unlocked I was running Telus on NAM1 and PagePlus on my NAM2. The only issue is you have to find a carrier that will allow other carrier esn's in their system.

Does that apply to using one CDMA and one GSM (SIM card) as well? Or both must be CDMA?
Obviously can't be both GSM as there is only one SIM card slot.
use can only use the nam 1 &2 for cdma
Wait, so if we unlock the Telus Touch Pro 2, can we use it on Rogers' 3G network? Does it have the neccessary bands to function? (850mhz umts)
Thanks

I used the information posted by leanne and got an unlock code for my Telus Touch Pro 2 within an hour after buying the code on eBay for $13 USD.
I have tested it with my friend's Rogers SIM card and I can report that I was able to register with the network and got GPRS (at first) then Edge connection.
I was also able to make calls via the Rogers network.
Didn't try connecting to 3G services though.
I'm quite pleased with the results as is. Being able to connect to North American GSM networks is an unexpected bonus as I had only expected to use GSM networks when I am travelling in Europe or Asia.
Hope this helps
awesome. thanks for the info. No wonder those TP2s are selling for so much more than the Tmo's!

is that on a gsm network like at&t/tmobile or a cdma network like verizon/sprint?
does 3g work as well?
Simply does anyone have verizon [email protected] working on at&t!?

I am guessing the Verizon TP2, Telus TouchPro2 and Sprint TouchPro2 have the same internal guts.
Once you unlock the TP2, you can install a ATT SIM.
Today, it only works on 2G technology, I believe there are some RON cooks that are looking to unlock the 850/1900 UMTS bands. When they are successful (TobeyChris, I have confidence), we should be able to run TP2 on ATT 3G.
Out of curiosity, will the Telus TouchPro2 support 3G on TMobile US?
With the Telus phone, right now you can forget 3G on the At&T and Rogers/Fido network.
It's been covered a few time and I commented on a recent thred if you want more details.
I will try to get a Fact sheet of all the TP2 and the supported band with the different networks they can run with their capabilities. These question keep popping up and answers could be stickied!
As mentionned I beleive the Telus and the Sprint have the same internal components.
Telus:
http://www.telusmobility.com/en/QC/htc_touchpro2_t7379/index.shtml
3G EVDO Rev A (800/1900 MHz), UMTS/HSPA (2100 MHz), GSM/ EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
Sprint as less details:
http://insidesprintnow.wordpress.com/2009/09/05/htc-touch-pro-2-fact-sheet/
Digital Dual Band / International Quad-Band capability
Read: 800/1900 EV-DO RevA (I think)
and GSM/Edge 850/900/1800/1900
Also both have the same chipset I beleive
Processor/Chipset: Qualcomm® MSM7600™ 528 MHz
i understand the requirement of the supported band, but there has been mention on this board that despite Sprints claim as a global phone, the GSM networks in the US is not supported (outside US is supported without restriction). I believe this was a restriction set by the FCC. Someone here had mentioned that they were able to unlock their sprint phone and insert an AT&T sim card, but was unable to connect to the network. So it seems like its an issue thats not as simple as unlocking the phone.
Is there such a restriction the telus?
Hi guys, I'm currently in Europe right now, I have with me both my brand new TMO GS2 (I had TMO unlock it prior to my trip) but I also brought with me my trusty old TMO HTC G2 as a back-up phone.
I purchased a prepaid sim card here. Sim card already has the APN setting pre-loaded. When I pop it into my G2 I get full HSPA signal and getting 3 mb/s download on SpeedTest, but when I pop the same sim into my TM GS2, it only picks up EDGE with speeds of 200 kb/s download.
I did the "connect to WCDMA only" in the mobile networks setting and then I get no data at all, only phone signal.
I'm baffled since both phones has the same HSPA bands (HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 2100) actually the G2 doesn't even have the 850Mhz band.
Anyone have an idea whats happening and how I can get it to connect to HSPA? I'm here for a month and would really like to use my phone at full speed.
THANKS!
hmmm...That's really weird. What's the SIM card carrier?

TMO customer service has gone to **** over the last year, ever since they moved the call center to the Philippines, its just a bunch of under qualified and under educated clown working there. Last time I called in a tech told me to switch off my phone for 2 hours and when I turned it back on it would work. Seriously?
Anyways..
Orange, Romania is the Mobile Operator, which I'm pretty sure runs 3G on UMTS2100, which this phone has, and so does my HTC G2
My phone currently is running on the de-CIQ'd stock ROM that I got from the developer forum.
I assume the roms has the stock kernel and radio in it. Does the kernel or radio control mobile data? Could switching kernels or radios possibly solve this?
This is kind of a big deal no? I'm sure I'm not the only person that would like to use 3G overseas!
see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Romania
3G only on 900 Mhz or 2100 Mhz
so maybe the area you were in, did not have the 2100 Mhz tower, and only the 900 Mhz towers

Agreed this is most likely. 2100 is NEWER in most GSM countries.
I don't get any outsourced customer service. You're likely 1) Prepaid/Flexpay 2) calling in too much 3) showing out on the phone with the reps

This can only mean one thing then, the GSII was never supposed to work in europe, and that the HTC G2 and the HTC Desire Z have the same internals and are triband 900/1700/2100 phones.

Hey guys! I brought my international GT-N7105 Note II LTE model from Asia and bought that unlimited cheap 30 dollar plan. I checked the towers and my area does have those refarmed 1900MHz towers from their twitter. Anyhow, first i just thought it was my house and I have drove from pasadena-los angeles - Irvine - Orange County and have yet to see ANY 3G/H/H+ signals! Always stuck on the E (2G). First I thought it was the SIM problem so I put that SIM to an iPHONE4 and guess what?! There is the T-Mobile 3G right on that upper left hand corner and speeds are decent. Anywhere from 1.5mbps-6mbps. I'm sure it can go higher but looking at that dinky screen is already enough for my eyes! Is there some specific settings I should be doing? Somehow it's NOT locking to the 3G towers from my N7105. I am planning to get Straight Talk's 45 dollar deal at Walmart and choose the ATT since it's got better coverage from what I hear. Thanks for the help in advance and Happy Holidays everybody!!!
I don't think the 7105 has 1900 band, I have 7100 and I get 3G coverage.

Thanks for the reply but according to this: http://www.smartone.com/jsp/phone/english/detail_v12.jsp?id=2553
It should have 1900MHz just like the N7100 except there's LTE which won't work. There's absolutely no excuse for it NOT to have 3G! This stinks and is frustrating!
I see that it has 1900 band but under GSM, when looking at 3G bands it has HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 - N7105 vs N7100 having HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
Dont know if it makes any difference but thats why I steered away from the LTE version.
Try this go into service mode: *#197328640# Debug screen Phone Control Network Control & Band Selection. Check if you can enable or see if you have the 1900 band under WCDMA. Might have to go under Combi Bands and select the desired bands.
Just flowing up if it worked out for u or not?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Bumping this since the op didn't respond. I am having the same trouble and I attempted the fix you provided and found that my N7105 lacks the "combi bands"
I mistakenly purchased this phone for pre-paid here in America (should have gotten the n7100) and it seems that Straight Talk doesn't have AT&T cards anymore and I'm stuck on T-Mobile's EDGE service
I have the verizon model and use it with tmobile
So the last two weeks have been the most frustratying and nerve racking weeks ever as I have tried to get tmobile service to work well with the verizon model i have. And although I am definately still irritated, i have to say that I do get 3G and HSDPA on mine, just not anywhere near my house. This has driven me crazy and until today I assumed it was my phone and the lack of certain bands howev er after purchasing a Tmobile 4G hotspot and activating it on a new 300mb plan just to see how well it works, I have found that it was never my phone that sucked at my hopuse, its Tmobiles service that sucks!. BUT... to get the best consistant coverage with the Tmobile sim in my Verizon model I did have to experiment with the APNs quite a bit, and I also upgraded the modem to the newest one released . For anyone tryinbg to do thius with the verizon model, make sure your APN for T-Mobile US or T-Mobile Data (I personally have started using it as T-Mobile Data) has "None" typed in for the username and for APN if your using LTE device type in "fast.tmobile.com" instead of the epc.tmobile...... or whatever it is. Does anyone know if flashing a modem or radio or even just the rom from the tmobile section would help at all? Or would it just **** up the phone..
Despite not getting 3g (since I lack the appropriate physical antenna apparently) I get way better cover with T-Mobile (through Straight Talk) I have to say compared to Verizon. Maybe my Note 2 is much better than my old Thunderbolt or maybe T-Mobile is just a bit better. Nevertheless every building at my university is made of reinforced concrete so you'd be hard pressed to get any reception in the classrooms. I find in places I had no service I have service, and places I had some service I have great service now.
Back on topic though:
I can get the 1900mhz through GSM but that isn't the same and my phone lacks whatever that Combi Bands thing is. So I don't know if it is a lost cause or not. I just figured I'd bring this back up since the OP never responded and I am in the same boat as they are (were?). Maybe a solution can be found or just "it ain't gonna work."
Just following up I have returned my N7105 in favor of a N7100 and get great H+ and 3G through T-Mobile/Straight Talk.

Fwiw, net10 is basically the same as straight talk. When you buy the $15 simcard pack from bestbuy for net10, it comes with 3 different sim cards in it. One of them is a micro sim that fits in the note2 and runs on at&t's network.

Hey Harry!
I think we found the answer... I had a M919V for couple days but I returned it because I did not succeed to enable LTE Bands... Anyway... I've been seen a lot of other members that enabled the HSPA+ AWS Band (1700/2100 MHz) into a i337m (Bell, Rogers, Telus version). After the method, the i337m turns in to a M919 (T-Mobile version). The T-Mobile version has all LTE and HSPA+ Bands of all North American carriers. I believe that you would be able to flash the stock T-Mobile room AFTER you doing this method. What do you think? Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291589

Thanks for replying, I thought no one knew anything about this variant.. I'll look into that! Thanks a lot
I too have the same variant SGH-M919V from Wind Mobile.
There is very little information about this device because there are very few people actually using it.
I haven't modded my phone at all, plainly because there is no stock firmware available yet. This phone seems so rare, that even when I connect it to Kies, it says that the firmware cannot be upgraded by Kies because it doens't recognize it. (Odd Issue - Very frustrating however).
Root - I do believe if you want to root the device, the Motochopper method should work.
Unlock - This is tested by me. The unlock method via the service mode works just fine. I am using this device on Virgin Mobile (LTE and HSPA+ is supported).
Do post any updates you make.
Really???

Hey dj_aj!!
Are you using an M919V on Virgin Mobile and it has support for LTE??? Because I had a M919V for couple days but I returned it because I did not succeed to enable LTE Bands... I tried select those LTE Bands that the T-Mobile version M919 has support (Bands 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 17) into ServiceMode dialing *#2263# and wasn't possible select any LTE Band... What happens if you open the ServiceMode Menu dialing *#2263# and then select LTE Band 4??

Yes, I am using the M919V from Wind Mobile on Virgin Mobile Canada. I've set the band selection to automatic and it normally stays on LTE and switches to H+ depending on whichever connection is stronger.
When I manually set the preference to LTE Band 4, it connects to LTE.
I am using this device in Windsor, Ontario.
The only thing I've noticed is that when the phone does connect to HSPA+ when not on LTE is that it shows 3G instead of 4G or H+ in the notification bar. But after running speed tests and checking device info, I have confirmed that it is infact on H+.
I am not sure why the device you had wouldn't let you pick the LTE bands. As far as I know the M919 or the M919V variants support all north american LTE bands. Odd issue i suppose.

Thank you for the information!!! Yes, I guess you're alright, odd issue.
Just curious: when you are connected to the HSPA+ network, which download speed do you get? I'm with Bell here in BC. Here, Bell shares the HSPA+ network with Telus and there are two frequencies: in 850MHz HSPA+ with speeds up to 21.1Mbps and 1900MHz DC-HSPA+ speeds up to 42.2Mbps. When I set my device to WCDMA 850 (I mean HSPA+ Band 5) on ServiceMode Menu, I get download speeds up to 8Mbps. And when I set to WCDMA 1900 (I mean DC-HSPA+ Band 2) on ServiceMode Menu, I get download speeds up to 22Mbps. One more thing: I dont have LTE plan... Could you try those settings and share the results with us, please??

Alright, I tried the method you linked me but after doing it, it haven't done anything. I still have the M919V and my phone is now really laggy... I reflashed the backup I made without sucess.
Also, after doing the method you linked me I used SpeedTest and I had the same results that I had before flashing the other QCN. (5mbps down, 1mbps up, on Videotron network, it said 4G in the bar.)

Strange, because there is a video from another member who did the method on a I337 from AT&T to enable HSPA+ AWS band (1700/2100MHz). After doing the same method, the model number changed to M919 (T-Mobile version). But the device still the same i337 device as before... Check the video below out and pause at 09:56. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6Ai0h2cjWc4
BUT another member did the same methods, installed the T-mobile stock room and he said was working fine, no issues:

I don't know why yours was different because both M919 and M919V versions are almost identical...

I have to let you know before hand that I don't get full bars at my place. These tests were run on 2-3 bars, so the speeds may be lower than normal.
WCDMA 850 - 5 Mbps down & 2 Mbps up
WCDMA 1900 - 8 to 10 Mbps down & 4 Mbps up
You clearly have a better network in BC than here in south ON. I usually get 22 Mbps when I'm on LTE.
Here's a link to my thread regarding the 3G icon. But it also has some other information that may be of interest to you:

Thanks a lot!!! Your results tells me two things:
1) Bell/Virgin/Telus/Koodo have DC-HSPA+ in 1900MHz in Ontario as well.
2) The M919V version has DC-HSPA+ for 3G service.
I saw your another post "Feedback required from Virgin Mobile Canada Galaxy S4 Users". I didn't understand one thing: what's the problem about the 3G icon? Don't you like it?
I thing all mobile networks, such as UMTS, WCDMA, HSPA, HSPA+ and DC-HSPA+ should called as 3G. Just LTE should be called as 4G, because LTE is the truly 4G. Don't you think?

I'll retry to flash the AWS thingy and I'll give you news.
Edit: Nope, doesn't work.
(Can't add the screenshot, here it is. http://imgur.com/l5S5wSc)
So a mate has a P2 and can't seem to get it to connect to 4G. The SIM card and network is Vodafone UK.
What I know/have tried:
- SIM in both sim slots will connect to 3.5G (HSDPA) on Vodafone network
- A different SIM (Three UK) did connect to 4G in the SIM slot 1 (did not try SIM slot 2)
- Settings says 4G preferred network is selected
- By typing *#*#4636#*#* into dialer and going to phone info displays LTE is selected as one of the preferred networks
- The same SIM (Vodafone UK one) connects to 4G in his old phone and has done in all his old phones
- APN settings are correct, verified by Vodafone support plus myself looking online
So he talked to Vodafone support again today who said try speed tests in 3 different locations and report back. He has done 1 which is 14mbps down and 3mbps up which is slow for 4G (I get 64mbps down and 24mbps up, different network but shows his is slow and likely not 4G). Similarly we we know the device can connect to 4G from using the Three UK SIM.
My gut instinct is it's a network issue, all device settings seem okay, nothing is screaming out of place. The issue though is that the SIM has connected to 4G in his other devices so confuses me.
So, I'd love your thoughts and inputs on this. Any suggestions welcome that may help! Thanks!

I dont know the device or network specifically But I know that the device has to support the same lte bands that the carrier broadcasts in LTE in that area Just because the carrier broadcasts say 900mhtz in LTE, if the device dont support 900 in lte then it wont get it. I have had cases wher 3g is the same freq as 4g it still wont pick it up If you get what I am saying. May be a issue or not.
to further add he might take one of the old devices and use a signal catching app to see what lte bands are broadcasted in his area then compare to device
Thanks @TheMadScientist, all suggestions welcome still. I'm gunna continue to keep an eye on this, research answers and send him a link to this so he can test anything on the device.

We get this issue a lot using sprint phones unlocked international gsm. A lot of carriers seem to not use the same lte bands.
Then naturly verizon devices come gsm unlocked but verizons radios are crap and do not pick anything up half the time. My veriz g5 can get lte next town over cause they use a supported band and no towers near me use it. So i get 3g. And a lot of h h+ i ise lte discovery as the app on mine.
Just hope this isnt his issue as its a harware compatibility .

So I checked the network and the device (on GSM arena) and it seems 4G bands are supported. But I'll try that lte discovery app with him soon you mentioned and see what results that yields

http://www.techadvisor.co.uk/how-to...r-phone-is-supported-by-your-network-3597426/
You should check the manuals if there is support for 2600 frequency on phone.
Maybe the phone supports 800/1800(cos 3 is on 1800) and you don't have 800 band in area.
You will have to contact Lenovo and ask them to change baseband or whatever...
or Perhaps get a new phone with support for 2600
Had the same problem using a LG G3. I tried this App to trigger LTE only. Then the Phone connect to the LTE network.
