Xperia Z c6606 bluetooth certification

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:

You can check yourself by going here and searching for Sony
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!

6606 is closer to reality. Wonder when it will come out. April maybe?

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.

Dual SIM Version of Note 4/Note Edge

Hi,
Do you have any info on DUAL SIM Version of Note 4/Note Edge, just like the Note 3 CHINA Version?
Please suggest as having Dual SIM version would make me to wait from buying Note 4. Please Share your views

Interested in this as well. Let's see if anyone chimes in.

I need dual-sim, been searching for info on the Note 4 but not much to go on. Hopefully they will release a dual-sim version.

Etotalk as usual has the dual sim version for pre-order.But will only release mid november and not earlier

I'm using Note 3 Duos N9002, quite happy with it. I'm looking upgrade to Note 4 if it can use 3G/4G on both sim and has good battery life. If not, Z3 Dual Sim maybe my choice!

Does anyone know how long after release the dual sim versions are available? Do they get released at the same time as single sim versions or later?
Sent from my SM-G900H using Tapatalk

No usually 40 days after the c release of single sim

No problem with me about nanosim. I'm looking highend looking, feeling, really good battery life, quality experience device after along time stick with Samsung ( S1 to Note 3 Duos - all plastic, scratched after some months ).
With Dual sim vatiant, I also concern dual 3G HSPA enable on both sim instead of only sim 1 on Note 3 Duos. As I read somewhere, Z3 Dual can access 3G on both sim.

I am tired of Samsung too. After the problem with Knox and the early impossibility of changing SIM on Note3 (such a bull**** policy), I really want to move on and change brand.
But nanosim is a very bad choice: I do have many sim with me (I travel a lot), is possible to change to nano, will think that

Dual SIM N9100
I just bought the Dual SIM N9100 model in Shanghai. I feel I made a terrible mistake because I'm not sure a root will ever be released for this model, preventing me from ever using Google Play, where I have purchased all my software on.
If you don't need to use Google Play at all and have invested in another marketplace available in China (like Samsung's), then this phone is great. Otherwise, wait until Chainfire maybe provides a root. He did for the N9106W China model, but that's not dual sim I think.

Sorry, I was uncertain when first checking as another source didn't explicitly list that model as dual sim. However, after double-checking, it is indeed a dual SIM model. Thx.

Dual sim active means you call and receive call at the same time from both numbers (you can call your self from sim one to sim 2) if its one at the time that's called standby.

Galaxy S6 Duos (dual-sim)

I created this thread for users of the dual sim variant of the Galaxy S6. I'm excited for my phone that will be released on 04/18 here in the Philippines. I pre-ordered the Black 32GB . How about yours?

Already owned Duos 32GB now

What is the model number of the dual sim variant and which country is it from?

Awesome! I'm also interested in the model number and which country is it made. Can you share it to us? Thanks!

http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/consumer/mobile/smartphones/smartphones/SM-G9200ZWUTGY
The model name is remained Galaxy S6, not named Galaxy s6 Duos. The model number is SM-G9200 and available in four colour in HK(with Green will be available in next month probably) and only 32GB listed, no 64/128GB offer as selection. The official price is USD$730.5 here.
http://www.wilsoncomm.com.hk/product-display-990
WCDMA SIM 1 / SIM 2: WCDMA: 850/900/1900/2100, TD-SCDMA: 1880/2010
LTE SIM 1 / SIM 2: FDD:AWS/700/900/1800/2100/2600, TDD: 1900/2300/2500/2600
It does support a wide range of WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, LTE, TDD including almost all network in HK, China, Europe and USA. I can't find out where is it manufactured, it's odd that doesn't mention in the box. But since we are part of China, safe guess is made in China.
There are still two more dual sim variant available in China with other model number as I known and not sure if they got 64/128GB.

SM-G920FD might be a dual sim phone... not sure yet
(SM-G920F is an international unlocked phone... FD suggests international unlocked + dual sim?)

weird..hmmm. i found this at samsung philippines website and it says SM-G920FD ...i'm sure that it is a dual sim version as announced.

Did someone ever have a dualsim card phone and can comment if it uses battery much faster. I live in China and it seems that the Hong Kong version is available as dualsim but I am hesitating as battery life isn't great already and I am sure there won't be any custom rims targeting dualsim phones.

Hi the HK version of dual sim as mentioned above is G9200. I am also based in China and currently in hk for few days. I just bought the s6 32gb 2 days back. Yesterday it gave me 4 hours screen time with 3g data on all the time. I had a lot of google services on yesterday which i have turned off today and will report how it goes.

This time we are all on the same and only exynos platform, custom roms for dual sim model is easier and possible in the future but unliky there will be a lots appear. Indeed, with 3gb ram and so powerful cpu you are enough to live with stock rom and kernel except that you want to get the best battery performance out.
Speaking to the battery life, it just getting better everyday. After a few times of recharge cycle plus the latest ota update yesterday, my battery life seems to be improved up to 50%. You have to be power saving mode enabled if you want to use it full day however. Second sim should consumer a bit more power but it is limited to 2G when your first sim is in 3g or 4g mode, I think 2g only use very little battery.

Is the phone dual sim dual active mean both sim can receive calls same time not dual standby ?
Is the phone dual 3G/4G mean both sim can have 3G/4G?

Both sim can receive calls at the same time. However, with one being used as 3G/4G and the another one is limited to 2G. Not dual 3G/4G standby.

Thanks for your reply. So it's dual full active not dual standby and you can switch 4g to sim 2 but in this case sim 1 is 2g correct?

Got mine today!
Got mine today but I don't really like the Duos logo at the back. I would prefer just "Galaxy S6".

As you can see from the screenshots, it already told you almost all things. I've got a couple of sim card but currently I only got one nano sim so I can't test the sim2 yet.
Voice call: You are free to pick which sim you would like to dial out and ring people.
Data service: You are limited to use either sim1 or sim2 to go on Internet but you can switch it here easy anytime. Only the data sim will get 3G/4G access and the other sim will switch to only 2G mode.
Dual Sim Always on: When you enable it, you can always receive phone call from both sims at the same time even you are during calls.

BTW
...As I check the model number inside the settings it says SM-G920F..But on all the stickers at the phone box and on the phone it says SM-G920FD....I think we can't just use a SM-G920F custom ROM in the future as there's a dual simcard settings in the phone.

Thanks TheEndHK
I think It's a dual sim dual standby and with the option dual sim always on as it shown in your screenshot you enable call farwarding from sim 2 to sim 1 when you receive a call to sim 2 and talking to sim 1. It's not a real dual active.
Regarding data service if you put your sim card to sim 2 tray and set data service to sim 2 can you get 3G/4g access to sim 2 ?
Thank you very much again.

S8 Duos

Any info regarding the Duos version of S8 ?
Is it going to be released at the same time with the single sim ?
Is going to be an Hybrid (SDcard or second SIM) or a full dual SIM )+ sdcard ????
Thanks

Can any one confirm if sim2 is 2G Only? (when you have a s8 Duos in your hand )
The model number SM-G955FD denotes that Samsung would launch the dual-SIM variant of the Galaxy S8 Plus in India. The device is expected to feature a 6.2-inch curved Super AMOLED display with QHD resolution, an Exynos 8895 or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, a microSD card slot, iris as well as fingerprint scanners, and a USB Type-C port.

Recently, from my experience in the European, Middle Eastern and Asian versions, unless its locked or sold by any telecom company, its always a dual sim. Like the s7 and rest his soul note6 (and all A and C series).. Best way for you when its released is to buy it online from one of the top online sellers in any of these regions, and they are alot. Personally never seen a single sim version from Samsung in the last year or 2 in these regions.. Funny enough, US market is what gets the single sim always..

No, in Western Europe, it's only single sim unfortunately. We also have to buy from ebay resellers to find dual sim version. However, I'm not sure I want to spend that much money to buy a phone on ebay with limited support & warranty (the phone coming from a different region)

Dual-Sim version is hybrid slot
Best regards

We will have to do the simcard glued on the sd card hack again then. I might even recycle the one I have got in my S7 edge dual sim
So if the hybrid tray is the same that on the S7 edge we will be able to get 2 simcards + 256gb sd card

I agree with you. I did not think the limited warranty was a big deal until I recieved a phone with a defect. As nice as it is to have a dual sim and not have to carry 2 phones, I will not be buying out of country again.

Agree too. I love my dual sim S7Edge. But I don't root anymore, and I want it to be local.
Bought 2 phones from Amazon, both went wrong, I didn't even know they were from abroad. One from Brazil, one from France. They wouldn't honour the warranty and I was £70 out of pocket both times.
Do love duos though! Just wish they would do it in the UK.

Nope. You have to order the DUOS version. I ordered mine on ebay from UAE last week.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

The UAE and Indian version of S8/S8+ are dual sim variants. 1st slot is SIM only, while the 2nd slot is a hybrid, where you can decide to insert either a SIM card or a MicroSD card.
Both the SIMs will be 4G (Dual 4G), unlike the S7 edge which was 4G+2G.
And no, there will not be a Duos branding on the backside of the Indian Variant, while the UAE variants do have the branding.

They are being sold online.. Only the 955FD models are dual sim. Middle East gets dual sim by default (only choice).. Go to any online shopping store (based in uae that ships overseas) and you can buy one easily.. I recommend mike&smith or mygsm (add Dubai or UAE to the Google search for the local stores results and contact them)..

Yes in Morocco we got dual SIM as well by default I was surprised when they handed me the box and read FD instead of the usual F we get

The UAE and Indian version of S8/S8+ are dual sim variants. 1st slot is SIM only, while the 2nd slot is a hybrid, where you can decide to insert either a SIM card or a MicroSD card.

I have my S8 duo from Dubai since Saturday. You can only have one SIM as 4G whilst the other is 3G.

Whether it's right or not, who knows.

It's either you have got dual SIM or a single sim with micro SD card.

Oh, my bad then. I was misinformed. But, even 4G+3G is good for me.

Can you please confirm this? I'm in the US and 2G has been shutdown by one of my carriers. So when I switch data to the first SIM, it forces my second SIM into 2G and I get no reception. If the standby SIM on the S8 is 3G, and not 2G, that would resolve the issue for me.

Second one is definitely 3G on my phone. I am attempting to attach a screenshot for the first time so if it works you will see it.

Oneplus 8 Pro (5G) Issue!

Greetings everyone,
I am proud to be a member of this amazing community. I am a big fan of OnePlus and started using it since OnePlus 2. Till this date, every mobile phone I owned was from OnePlus. Just fee days ago, I decided to buy OnePlus 8 Pro as an upgrade from my OnePlus 7 Pro.I was searching and reading about to see what is the best choice for me regarding the version and support for my country (Saudi Arabia). Then I read that the Chinese version is the most suitable one since it supports our 5G network n41 and n78. I ordered the phone and received it almost a week ago and transfered all my data through OnePlus switch which is an amazing app that makes it easy to do so. I was excited to try the new speed of 5G provided by my carrier Zain 5G (n41). When I started using my new OnePlus 8 Pro, I got the option of preferred network from 2g till 5g (see the attached picture). Yet, I got no 5G signal. Bare in mind I am one 100% sure that my sim is 5G. I searched the web hoping to find a solution, but no luck. I thought it might be something that OnePlus team would add to their next update. I wonder if anyone have an idea on how to fix this to make my phone work with 5G or modify it accordingly?. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I've also got the Chinese version and based in the UK and managed to pick up 5g automatically via Three network. It was not expected as 5g isn't particularly advanced except maybe in the big cities. Possibly not full 5g but still pretty fast where I am.

If you see your picture again, you're connected to a WiFi. As you said, I should automatically connect to the 5G since I am living in the capital of Saudi Arabia (Riyadh). And I checked the coverage in my area through the provider Zain SA, it is really good in my house according to their website, but I do not know what should I do or change to make it work. Hopefully someone have a solution. Thank you.

The picture is a screenshot from Speedtest history and my WiFi is no way near that speed ?

I've got 5G with three and I live in central London and it's awful.
Phone is unlocked dual SIM, nowhere I've been has shown better results than 4G.
I could get 275Mb on 4G with EE.
Best I've had with 5G is probably about 50Mb.
Personally I don't use it, nor do I need it

You have a point my friend. It might be right, but my brother has Huawei P40 Pro 5G and it works like a charm with 5G network. We use the same service provider sim cards. One day he showed me the speed which has reached around 280MB in the same location we live in. And yet I got this OnePlus 8 Pro with no 5G signal. Waiting for a solution from the expert in this lovely and helpful members of this forum. Thank you for your info my friend.

Thank you so much. I will watch the video and give you the feedback. Appreciate your effort my friend.

I never noticed this. I just ran a speed test in the US and my OnePlus 8 pro was 3 times faster on 4G than on 5G

Brilliant, wtf is he saying????? This is an English only forum lol.

He is speaking Arabic. Still there is an issue with me regarding Qualcomm HS-USB Do over to be installed and known in my device manager of the PC. Couldn't find any good solution on the internet yet.

Greetings Agree I have recently purchase My OnePlus 8 Pro an the test speeds are at Download 0.86 Mbps and Upload even worst. We need a solution or something to fix this issue for the phone.

I always like to wait for an official solution. Hopefully, OnePlus would include fixations for this 5G network.
