Xperia Z c6606 bluetooth certification - Xperia Z General

Like many here that are waiting on the rumored c6606 AT&T compatible XZ, I've been on edge, waiting every day to see if anything comes up.
After a bit of searching, I found out that the c6606 has apparently passed some sort of bluetooth certification (or at least was added to this site) as of March 8th
http://translate.google.ca/translat...a=X&ei=nQo-UeD9OeeayAH91ICADw&ved=0CEkQ7gEwAw
Page for the c6606, dated March 8th
Page for the "Xperia ZQ" which covers the ZL
Page for the Xperia Z, dated January 24
The pages don't show the date, but the search results do:

If anything, this gives us a little hope that something may come up very soon. I've wanted to get my hands on the XZ for so long now, but I wanted it to be fully compatible with Rogers/AT&T so hopefully we'll see some news very soon!

Great find! I've been on the lookout for new information myself, hoping something like this would turn up!
I'm so relieved I didn't pull the trigger on getting the c6603, even though it's somewhat working in Canada.

Please come to AtT
I really hope it comes soon!! I've been Dieing for it to hit ATT. I'm on a family plan so I can't buy off contract! Hope it comes soon!! March would be perfect

You will be disappointed then.

Not having experienced AT&T's LTE network yet, is it worth waiting for the C6606 instead of finding the HSPA+ C6602 for use on AT&T? @Spectre51 as another AT&T user here, thoughts?

We'll I have gotten 40+Mb down via LTE. Never gotten over 10 on their "4g". The 4g is plenty fast if you have a.good connection but their LTE is just amazing.
Honestly I don't get to LTE areas all that often and don't have any issue just using their 4g. Had no issues with it on the C6602.
You will see a little more battery drain with LTE but if you are in a LTE area the speed is unbeatable.

Dare I ask where (or how) you got the C6602 already? Haven't found it for sale anywhere online just yet. I'd be happy with HSPA+ if not just for consistent coverage and a phone not trying to jump from that to LTE all the time.

So....At least you meant that C6606 is exist and coming to US, right?
Since the ZL came upon Sony Store I struggled on choosing between. ZL is good, but I LOVED the Z. I really want to get my hands on either two of those ASAP which made me wanna give up waiting and get the ZL as soon as it become available, then I would regret when C6606 come long.
Too bad that ZL and Z is not coming together, or are they...

The C6606 will be sold unlocked in the US & Canada with the North Americans LTE bands
That its for sure
We will know more about the release date later in a few months I guess, but it is coming

Dieing for this phone but it looks like by the time its out it will be outdated... Iphone 4 is dieing and I need a soon a phone real soon...

IN A FEW MONTHES??!!!hell I'm getting the ZL

I'd still take it over the S4, but it's not available, and now it sounds like people are saying it's months away and not weeks. I've read the "coming soon" on the Sony US site about a thousand times. I thought things would move along more quickly with the sell unlocked on the website plan. If the C6602 was fully compatible with HSPA+ on tmobile I'd probably just get that. I get great hspa+ speeds around here.

Samsung Galaxy Note LTE (Korean Version) support T-Mobile USA HSPA+?

Anyone knows it this thing supports TMobile 1700/2100 AWS Band? I am eagerly waiting for this device that will support TMobile USA AWS band/Wind Mobile Canada or Penta Band.
Or at least 3g?
As it was just announced, your going to have to wait a bit for details. As fare as well know its the same Note as ever, just with LTE compatibility on Korea.(which would NOT work on T-Mobile)

Hey, so there's been a lot of discussion on whether or not the new S.Korean version of the SGN will support the 1700mHz band.
It has been reported that it is CDMA.
If you go to wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies
and go down 3/4 of the page to where it says "Other Regions" you'll see the following:
"CDMA S. Korea 1750–1780 1840–1870"
That would seem to say that it will indeed support T-Mobile...

I don't understand. T-Mobile uses GSM. CDMA is a different technology than GSM. Why would you expect a CDMA phone to be usable on a GSM network?
Hey thanks! Whew, got a bit excited seeing the 1700 band in there, but if their 1700 band is only for CDMA, then you are quite right... no tmobile... but then verizon people could start getting excited...
-GT
Sigh, if this phone had T-Mobile bands, I would pay with cold hard cash right now. =(
Sucks that we can't even get the Exynos version of this, at least not for another year until Samsung makes a new phone with a new SoC that sports T-Mobile's bands.
Ditch T-Mobile and get straight talk. T-Mobile sucks anyway.
I just gotta ask.... why do people say T-mobile sucks?
I don't understand as I've only ever had great reception with them and great speeds. Plus my phone bill is smaller than if I went to AT&T, and I get more data and minutes. I have many times over the years been with friends or family who can't get reception on AT&T or Verizon and there I am rockin it on T-Mobile. In fact, some of my friends who use AT&T have started saying "More dropped calls in More places" about their AT&T service.
I mean if someone said AT&T sucks, I'd totally agree. They charge an arm and a let, they limit your data, and give you crap for minutes, and from what I see my friends experience, their coverage sucks in comparison to T-Mobile.
But that's just been my friends and family and my experience.
GT
-UPDATE-
Oh yeah, and if you're checking out the threads here, you'll see loads of people having issues with AT&T now shutting down their data on their SGN. So... AT&T doesn't really seem like a ride I want to buy a ticket for.
Who said anything about AT&T? I said straight talk. They use AT&T towers but have much better pricing. T-Mobile sucks because their phone selection is lacking and now because of their frequencies, you can't even get the Note.

Att is getting the exynos quad-core version like Rogers.
Sent from my HTC One X on Leedroid's ROM v5.1.0.
This isn't a bad thing, but it is also underwhelming. Every high end phone released in the US markets has the same SoC. Software battles are not very interesting, at least to me. On ATT both of the high end Android phones are very similar in terms of hardware with the HTC One X arguably being better since it is already out and has a better screen. Not sure what samsung was thinking with putting out a phone with the same internals as a rival a couple months later.

Until something more concrete appears, I'm going with this from the article...
"Of course an ad banner is hardly conclusive"
http://www.androidcentral.com/ad-ba...y-s-iii-could-feature-new-exynos-chip-and-lte
From the New Orleans event. Note the use of the word "optimized."
“Samsung Mobile is planning a U.S. version of Galaxy S III, optimized for the fastest LTE and HSPA+ networks in the U.S., which will be available in the summer of 2012. Exact timing and retail channel availability is not being announced at this time. We believe the Galaxy S III is the most anticipated product in the 20-year history of Samsung Mobile; therefore, we will continue to share information as it becomes available.” – Samsung
This could play out two ways...
1) Samsung's developed a GSM LTE-capable version of the Exynos chip and it will be used everywhere it can be. In North America that would mean Rogers, AT&T, and Sprint. Since CDMA's so limited, the VZW SGS3 would likely use the S4 chip. T-Mobile would likely get S4 also because S4 supports AWS and when faced with the same choice in the SGS2 they went Qualcomm vs. developing their own AWS radio. If Samsung was going this route, there's no reason they wouldn't have said so at the UnBoxed event.
2) LTE and AWS SGS3's will all be S4. Either because Samsung didn't have time to integrate LTE, couldn't match the S4's fantastic battery life, or that it might actually be cheaper. Samsung builds great SoC's but they have no track record (yet) in radios. There were no repercussions (other than some customer disappointment) when Samsung went this route last time. Also, when they did, they waited until right up to launch to disclose that the U.S. market wasn't getting Exynos (except the non-LTE AT&T version).
I have no idea which way it'll go (and neither do any of you). I wouldn't bet odds in Vegas based on a misplaced banner ad.
If you think AT&T is going to fragment the sales/updates as far as one that is quad-core/hspa/3G and one that is Dual-Core/HSPA/LTE, you are mistaken. Ain't. Gonna. Happen.
There will be one model, one that is usable on the LTE network.

That U.S. introduction of the SGS2 was one of the strangest launches ever. First, it took Samsung and the U.S. carriers six months after the UK launch to bring it to the U.S. Then all but the AT&T version were totally different phones based on the Asian Celox and SGS2's in name only. If you remember the launch event, the T-Mobile version was locked in a Plexiglas box and not allowed to be touched. VZW skipped the SGS2 entirely. On top of that, two weeks after it launched, AT&T announced the SkyRocket which was a Celox variant and closer to the other U.S. carrier versions. Samsung’s in a much more powerful position than they were last go round so hopefully the phones will be less molested and the introduction better synchronized.
When the OG SGS2 launched on AT&T they hadn't even lit up their first LTE city. It would be strange for them to launch another high-end HSPA+ phone with as fast as they are growing (and pushing) their LTE network. But, based on the SGS2 launch, anything's possible.

I think the transition to LTE was difficult for Samsung and satisfying their customers. Then having to design multiple variants on top of that some with the S3 and LTE radio and some without it.
It takes hours and hours of meetings, designing, quality control, etc. I could already predict all the trouble that all parties had to go through, Samsung, Sprint, T-Mobile etc. If it wasn't for our wide population, I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung said "the hell with the US" and just stuck with releasing one type, the international version for everyone else.

Looks like Tmo News is reporting that the user agent for the Note 2, for T-Mobile, has leaked. They're reporting that the device will be keeping its Exynos processor and will be HSPA+ 42Mbps. I'm guessing this will launch near the end of the year. The model number is SGH-T889.

AT&T Galaxy Note 2 Confirmed In Leaked Screenshots – Release Imminent
It looks like were in for a treat guys. Samsung has gotten their act together and patched up everything in their latest quad-core.
Meaning...
Were gettin Quad-Core (Exynos 4412) with LTE
We had little-to-no-doubt the device would eventually make its way to AT&T (international frequency bands mostly match AT&T’s) but what’s interesting is Samsung’s quad-core Exynos 4412 is seemingly intact. No dual-core Qualcomm to be found. Remember, the last Note (and even the Galaxy S3) had to switch to a Qualcomm chip for compatibility with AT&T’s 4G LTE. Looks like Samsung patched everything up in their latest quad-core.

Your current Note, and the international Note II, will eventually work on T-Mobile's 3G/HSPA+ network by the end of this year, or early next, in some of the major markets in the States. T-Mobile is reframing their 1900MHz band, to work on 3G/HSPA+. I don't think the international Note II has the AWS bands inside of it, but I'm sure the T-Mobile one will.
In other words, you'll get some coverage with the International Note II in some of the major markets in the US, but you'll get even better coverage with the T-Mobile version, since it'll support both AWS/1700MHz and PCS/1900MHz. The good thing now, unlike the Galaxy S III, is that you'll still have the Exynos quad-core processor, instead of the Qualcomm dual-core processor (based on the rumors). The one thing I'm still wondering is if they'll still keep the LTE antenna in for the T-Mobile version. Would be nice, since they should be launching their LTE network next Spring.
Canadian Version?
I know they announced the quadcore version, but when it comes to Canada, will it be dualcore again? Or is it staying?

Based on the info that the AT&T and T-Mobile models will still have the quad-core processor, I will say yes that the Canadian models should have them as will. This was the case for the S III, so it should still apply here.

Glad to see Samsung got all their s--- together now. Here's to hoping that they being manufacturer of their own chips (lte), panels, memory will lead them to dominate apple. the near uniformity of gs3 paid off for them, now that this is no different than the international version this should be the trump that sammy needs!

Yeah, you read it right. “Gigantaphablet” is for the phablets that are – quite simply – gigantic. At least that’s what they should be called. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 is one such device. And if leaks are to be believed, it could be making its way to T-Mobile. Or at the very least, released in a T-Mo friendly LTE model.
Leaked by TK Tech News, the device is shown picking up T-Mobile’s signal, and has “Voicemail”. So, it’s a phone. Remarkable.

Not really. Everywhere else in the world 3/4G Samsung tablets have always been voice enabled. The U.S. carriers have always stripped out the functionality on the tablets they sell. It's never really made a lot of sense actually because they'd make more money by a tablet being added to a plan as a "smartphone" to gain access to voice/MMS features. My SM-P601 on AT&T.

I have my t325 on t-mobile too. Unfortunately t-mobile here SUCKS but I need a connection to blue tooth my Verizon towered straight talk phones Internet over. So it's worth the $10 a month I pay.

The lte versions of the tab pro should all work on T-Mobile with the exception that they only support hspa. I'm using a sm-t525 on T-Mobile and have made calls on it.

The lte devices don't have the bands used in the USA for lte.
Well that sucks

The 8.4 mentioned in the first post does have US LTE bands according to the guy that originally posted about it on his blog.

So I called T-Mobile tech support and they claim that the frequencies listed in the specs for the "phone" would work on LTE here in the US. Sure hope they are right.

From what I can tell, the device does not support AWS band 4 (1700/2100) on LTE so I don't think it will work on their refarmed network.
I do see that it supports 1900 MHz PCS so you should be able to get H+ (non LTE "4G") in an area that's refarmed.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. This is the only thing holding me back from buying it right now...

Yeah I went to Chesapeake VA. Which is mostly a 4G area. I only got H+ . So I take it you guys are right, this tablet doesn't work on t-mobile's 4G network

A voice version with US LTE bands has not been released yet.

Guess we will have to wait until if "officially" gets released by T-Mobile here in the states. I thought I read an article somewhere saying that when they did release it, it would be re-worked for 4G LTE. I just hope they truly include the voice capability or else I have no interest.
I was noticing 2100 MHz but not 1700/2100 is listed as supported. I'm probably going to wait for a Nexus 8 device at this point to get LTE (have a Nexus 7 and a Note 10.1(2014) in the household at the moment) but still holding onto this (or the Note S 8.4 that appears to have the same bands) as an option if we don't get a Nexus 8 LTE by the end of 2014.
Yes, what has been posted is CORRECT.
i am also running my T325 on T-Mobile, and I have a Unlimited LTE Plan with the carrier, However the Highest i have gotten on my PHABLET is H+, and on my Note 3 i get FULL LTE, so with that said these PHABLETS DO NOT have ACSESS to the LTE Band. Futher more, when i purchased the device in the US the Company that sold it to me was Honest enough to tell me that I WILL NOT be getting LTE in the US, that only over Seas receive LTE. I was upset but bought it anyway for the simple fact that I have the Note 3 and was Buying it to use it through Wifi cause i have my Note 3 set up with Unlimited Tethering without my carrier knowing a thing ( ), I also figured why Buy the Tab Wifi only when i have the option to get Voice + Wifi for a few more Bucks, Makes CENTS to me, just in case i loose or Brake my Note 3 I have a Backup with My Lovely Galaxy Tab Pro T325. Its a Win Win if you ask me, and when I do use it as a phone (With OUT a Bluetooth, or Headset) PPL be like WTF, is it really a Phone, and start asking mr 50,000 questions, so you will be surprised how many ppl would be willing to use this device as a phone, i know i can care less what ppl say, I CANTTT use them small A$$ Apple devices, just CANTTT do. Just had to throw my 2 Cents out there, Bless to Everyone, One Love..... :cyclops: :cyclops: :cyclops: P.S Theres a GREAT Custom Rom out for our T325, Ive been running it for Bout 5 days now and its 150% better than Stock, Big Up to the Developer ---> Genius319 "YOUR the MAN..!!!

Sorry for the late zombie reply but -
Even as far back as 2 years ago, one could port international devices' radios onto U.S. devices. With that in mind, I'm kind of surprised someone hasn't been able to d o that for the international (8") Tab S & Pro models ... especially this far out into these models life spans. We've had the SM-T325 on T-Mo for over a half year, & so we're no longer hopefull LTE radios will ever find their way onto the international versions. This far out into Tab S & Pro - ATT/T-Mo have STILL shown no interest to release a true phone enabled/LTE model. Samsung really seems to be stepping on their own crank. Between KNOX - no micro SD card slots ... non-removable batteries on their newest products ... who wants these new devices? It's really lame marketing . But I do like their teeny bezel ... so hspa+ Tab pro it is

For my wife, it it Tab Pro on T-mobile wifi hotspot from her phone. But, only allowed 5 GB/month that way, which is enough for her.

Moto Maxx spotted in the wild. (Droid Turbo Variant)

I hope this sparks development and an unlocked bootloader.

The form factor and all the internals look identical to our variant. This is good news.
its beautiful and in spanish! its coming to me.
man can't wait. I really hope this one will support Tmo band, love the specs and the battery life.
Funny thing is, 3 hour SOT in my nexus 5 considered good battery life, while in this beast 6 hours SOT is some kind of "weak"? Wth? This is QHD. I absolutely love this phone despite a lot of hater out there are screaming everyday
I don't see this released to a few countries alone, I'm thinking more likely it will international with broad release but excluding the US. In other words Clove and the rest are going to have it for sale and getting it will be strictly a matter of dropping the plastic. But then again maybe that's just wishful thinking.
The US Droid Turbo works on International networks via GSM, right? So if this one has identical hardware, less branding, it could potentially work on VZW, right?

Not exactly. It would need a CDMA radio. Then it would need to support Verizon LTE bands. And then even if they pulled a Nexus 6, because of the CDMA radio, Verizon would have to allow it on the network, which is doubtful because they want to sell you a Droid Turbo.

I was thinking of how the Nexus 6 worked out of the box, even though it didn't really come from Verizon. Not sure how relevant that is in this case, though. It makes sense, but I don't want it to :/
I think this is great news! Even better that it's still on 4.4.4. Hopefully it gets announced and released ASAP.

No one really knows how Verizon is handling the activation of the Nexus 6. Droid-Life was able to pop a Verizon sim in their review unit and it worked. Maybe Google is giving them all the Id numbers and they are just allowing any Nexus 6 to activate in their network? I guess we will see when someone buys one directly from T-Mobile and see if it makes calls.

I'm guessing something similar happened with the Moto X 2013. I bought it from Moto, and it was branded as Verizon. I'd assume Moto told VZW here are all the serials for the VZW XT1060 models. With the Nexus, they may have just given them all of the numbers for all the devices, because I'm guessing you don't specify which carrier you have when you purchase, unless you're doing an upgrade.

Moto Maxx is the global variant of Droid Turbo, if I'm right.
Is it under Lenovo?

My guess is they just have the full list of IMEIs.
Something tells me the United States is going to be excluded from this. Im sure it can be imported, but thats just going to jack the price up beyond being worth it.
Am hopeful that we get some positive news for us in the UK tomorrow. What time UK is it, about 2pm?

Since the device HAS passed through FCC as IHDT56PK2 (the droid turbo is IHDT56PK1... the PK2 adds in UMTS/AWS = tmobile 3G), one can assume that they do intend to sell it within the US.
The FCC is a US regulatory body, and is only required for importing into the US.

Many devices pass through the FCC and don't ever appear from US consumption. While somewhat promising, its not nearly a sure thing.
Verizon may have an exclusivity right on the model preventing it from being sold on other carriers. At least for the time being. But there's been no press about it being released in the united states, so one can on speculate at this point.
Keep in mind that only means it can be legally imported, it does not show intent to sell. Similar processes are followed throughout much of the world and two variants of a GSM phone can cover most of them. There is little reason not to get FCC certification since it is not an expensive or difficult process within the confines of the larger effort involved in global release and one of the handsets will be suitable for use in the states anyway. I'm not saying its not going to happen, I'm saying the filing does not make it a certainty and more than one phone has seen certification without being sold in the US.
Also to the thread in general the spread of possible IMEIs are public record, Verizon need only block out the range specified for a device in order to block it, they do not need specific numbers off individual devices which are not public record.
