That is not entirely true! Even though the Z works on AT&T's network it doesn't work fully!

C6603 supports the following bands :

HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 - C6603

LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - C6603

AT&T's network use:

850 MHz UMTS/HSPA 3G

1900 MHz UMTS/HSPA 3G

700 MHz LTE 4G

1700/2100 MHz(AWS) LTE 4G

As you can see the xperia Z only supports the 850 band for 3G and the 2100 band for 4G, which means if your in a weak spot you will get poor to no reception...

@iDroid8

You do not need to root any android phone to use a gba emulator or snes, nes, Sega mega drive /gear, Nintendo ds, n64, ps1 , psp all emus Work on non rooted androids.

My question-

If you remove the shatter proof sheet is the Sony logo still on the phone or was it printed - for quick demo units?

2.

If I put the screen protector on and water gets on it will the screen protector stay or peel away /get warn off??
[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
1. Sony logo will stay. Like with Xperia T, they only printed Sony logo on shatter-film for demo units. Retail have it below the glass.

2. That depends on your protector. If it's glued on - it depends on the glue. If it uses static to stay on - it shouldn't peel off as long as you don't peel it yourself. Short answer: it shouldn't come off unless you somehow peeled it and let the water go between the screen and protector, so no need to worry about that.
[Xperia Z General] xiFIL:
Yup :o!

Sorry my bad!
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
1. Why dont you remove the shatter proof screen from bottom to up and when it has reached the SONY logo then just cut it off? hence preserving the logo :)

2. it shud stay

Does the Z support Wifi Direct ?
[Xperia Z General] craftycarper1:
Does the Z support operating efficiently whilst drunk?

Fair question, it's not in the OP, just thought i would ask.

That is all.:laugh:
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
Every device running Android 4.0 and up supports it so that shouldn't be a problem.

Well....... That really depends on how drunk you are, if you can barely walk then I'd say no.
[Xperia Z General] Riyal:
Does the Z support local storage encryption of android?

Also can the Z detect/connect to Adhoc connections?
[Xperia Z General] budalica:
That's why you should buy C6606 model for LTE AT&T it supports LTE2100 (B1), LTE700 (B17), LTE850 (B5), LTE1700/2100 (B4) =C6606
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
Those 2 questions are both software related questions and since the software is the same for all devices, I'd say yes.

But I'm not sure about the Adhoc connection.
[Xperia Z General] :
Ok thank you ;) Some websites that I visited indicated Wifi Direct in the specs but I wanted to be sure.
[Xperia Z General] mbushnaq00:
the more I read about this phone the more I get disappointed :(

I was really excited in getting the phone until I found the following negative points:

- No 4G LTE version available in my region (Dubai)

- Low volume in Phone speaker and loud speaker

- No Flash Support

- 16GB is too low for latest games

- Rooting requires to unlock bootloader (irrevesable and looses bravia engine)

I was planning to root the device and use GL to SD to mount the android folder on the external sdcard, but after reading on another thread that I need to unlock the bootloader to root which looses the bravia engine functionality I was really dissappointed.
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
- No Flash Support

That's not a phone issue but an Android issue.

I've got flash on my JB 4.1, really not hard at all to install.

- 16GB is too low for latest games

Get an Micro-SD card? Don't see the problem.

- Rooting requires to unlock bootloader (irrevesable and looses bravia engine)

Who says that it's irreversible?

(It might be now, but it's only a matter of time until that problem is solved.)
[Xperia Z General] Spectre51:
Rooting does not require unlocked bootloader. Once they make CWM four locked bootloaders we can then make prerooted roms to flash just like any other Xperia device.

No they won't. At least not without changing some "things".

Why wouldn't they. Only thing different is the baseband. Just like Xperia T rims working on the TL. As long as you use the baseband for the right device it should work just fine.

[Xperia Z General] MobiusPizza:
That is incorrect, that is the shatter-proof laminate. Xperia Z does bundle both front and rear screen protectors in the box, which the user meant to apply themselves.

Here is what Sony support said about the shatter-proof laminate sheet:

Due to this laminate, it is therefore highly unlikely that the glass surface has any oleophobic treatment.

Also, from user tests, it is highly imperative one apply screen protector on top of the laminate, as it is easily scratched:

I don't know, if anyone noticed that, but:

In service (*#*#7378423#*#*), under Service tests -> Water Proof, my XZ says: This device does not support the function.

Q: Can anyone who allready tested it's water proof confirm, that you get same result, when press Water proof test?

My XZ is dust magnet, so from time to time I am planing to wash it, but some kind I am afraid to do that...

My XZ is c6603
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
Same here and I showered with my phone a couple of times, you should be good to go.

I think everyone gets this message.
[Xperia Z General] iDroid8:
I can confirm that the included screen protector is oleophobic, I compared my brother's iPhone 5 which has a normal screen protector on it after eating some pizza and swiped my fingers across both and my XZ came out of it far better. Also, I used a pin to try scratching both, it applied same pressure, didn't scratch on my XZ, but did on the iPhone 5.

EDIT: This is the screen protector included in-box, which I applied myself, on top of the shatterproof layer.
[Xperia Z General] grtmoby:
That's brave :eek:
[Xperia Z General] iDroid8:
If it didn't work, then I had 7 sets, 6 I bought and 1 that came with a case, I didn't know it already came with a good set of protectors :) at least I have plenty of spares even if they aren't as good.
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
I think that he thought that you tried scratching the screen itself and not the protector^^
[Xperia Z General] eddietah:
Done everything but nothing seem to work :(
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
What doesn't work??

You're not clear.

Edit: Are you sure that you DID NOT sync after the reset, you really need to do everything manually.

Someone also wrote a way to test it, after you did a reset, don't install anything don't sync anything, let someone send you a text message, that way you'll be able to see if the LED works for you or not.

You can directly use the repair tool, this is very handy when there is no way out, when it's the only thing you can do. But make sure to back-up all your stuff like pictures because your whole drive will be wiped.

On expansys, there are multiple Z's for sale including a white, but its a different model number. Is there really only one that can support LTE? is the for att or T-Mobile?
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
The C6603 is the LTE version.

Since you're speaking about ATT/T-Mobile, I assume that you're from the states, but if I read it correctly, the LTE bands that are being used are different then the one that are being used in the states.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Xperia Z General] stevew84:
I can care less about LTE honestly, at home I have WiFi. As long as hspa+, or "4g" works, that's all I care about.

Adam, basically if you apply a non-system ringtone (Eg: something from your sdcard), the ringtone doesn't persist past a reboot. After reboot the ringtone is replaced by an "unknown" one that does not exist and hence there's no sound when the phone rings.

If you want 3D to work you are going to have to go with a "de-Sensed" ROM that emulates AOSP. There are AOSP based ROM's that have working 4G but no 3D camera.

[HTC EVO 3D] sin-cal:
So if i wanted just the current ics update, downloading the ruu from that website, running it an leaving it would be enough?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes. You wouldn't be rooted and would have the stock bootloader (hboot) and recovery, but if you want to run 100% stock that would be fine.

I suggest leaving it S-OFF though so if you change your mind it's easier to update those things.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Hey everyone...

I travel to eastern Kentucky regularly and T- Mobile has zero service out there. The phones roam on AT&T. I was a T-Mobile subscriber for years, but every phone I had (Motorola Cliq XT, G2, Nexus S) would only get EDGE/2G data on AT&T due to TMO and AT&T using different 3G frequencies. The Nexus 4 is the first phone I've owned that works on both TMO's and AT&T's 3G and HSPA+ frequencies.

My question is... When you're roaming on AT&T's network with a TMO SIM, will the N4 connect to AT&T 3G and/or HSPA+? Or does AT&T restrict roaming traffic to EDGE/2G protocol?

Thanks!
