I understand it picks up LTE bands 2, 4, and 12, and that's all T-mobile uses (I think). But, our X Compact doesn't support VoLTE, so your phone will switch off 4G to use older networks to make phone calls. It also doesn't support wifi calling. Other than that, you're good to go.

Mate 7 TL10 only getting HSPA with TMobile

I decided to order the Chinese TL10 version of the phone and im only able to get 3g HSPA on the t-mobile network. One thing i must say though is that even though it says HSPA, i am still getting 4G comparable speeds when im using it and it hasnt disappointed in connectivity. This phone is freakn fast so im anxious to see how much faster it'll get on 4G. Can you guys point me in the right direction?
If you are based in USA, specially T-Mobile use FDD B4, aka AWS, and the Chinese version does not support it.
Good news you receive HSPA+.
thank you for sharing this information

Even though the Ascend Mate 7 is available primarily outside of North America, this unit was still able to connect to LTE networks on T-Mobile and AT&T. It does struggle with maintaining the connection from time to time, but the mobile network experience has been reliable for the most part. Call quality is also good, with calls coming in quite clear at both ends of the line.

Once we have the international version rom for the TL10, we should be able to flash it and open up all the other bands in the radio, that are enabled in the tl09
Not really related to this phone but is it possible by any means to enable WCDMA frequencies in TDCdma phone? Thanks in advance.

The Chinese MT7-TL10 comes with both WCDMA and TD-CDMA. For some models that come with TD-CDMA only, there is no way to have CDMA, for instance, P7-L05.

Oneplus 2 on AT&T

The network I am currently using is AT&T. I am thinking about getting a Oneplus 2 but I don't know if it is "supported" by AT&T. DOes anybody know if the Oneplus 2 works on AT&T?
Yes it should.

I'm on AT&T went from an iphone 6 to a Zenfone 2 (which is not "supported") but has all required hardware but couldn't get it to connect to LTE. Returned it and got a OP2 (which i don't think is "supported" either) but have full LTE.

Yes the OnePlus 2 works fine on AT&T.
I just had to swap out sims to get the Nano sim. No cost with that either.
Yes, if you live in the US, the OP2 is unlocked to run on GSM/LTE networks in the US.
I'm on At&t and just swapped out my SIM with my Moto X Pure.... I usually have to call to get it registered on their system, but I didn't even have to do that.... Maybe because I just came from another unlocked phone?
Either way, it works just fine!
I do notice a difference from my HTC One M9.... I had faster speeds sitting in my office, but the OP2 is a little slower.......But, the OP2 is faster just about everywhere else (except my house, of course)

Does Xperia X Compact support: VoLTE, Band 12 and WiFi Calling on T-Mobile?

Hi guys!
Was planning to buy Xperia X Compact, but need to find out if it supports T-Mobile features, such as Band 12, VoLTE and maybe WiFi Calling(not the priority for me). Any person tried this phone on T-Mobile?
I just got this phone yesterday and it's running fine on T-Mobile though I'm in a band 4 area right now. FrequencyCheck (https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/GNNDM/sony-xperia-x-compact-f5321-td-lte-sony-kugo-ss) says it supports band 12, but I have yet to experience it myself.

Technically speaking the phone does support it, but would be interesting to see if phone does support it on T-Mobile network.
Time will tell on this one. Tmobile has been picking up a lot of 700 mhz spectrum lately but it's not all deployed yet. I think it's mainly due to awaiting FCC approval.
Are you guys using the US version? I ordered the UK version and I'm sending the US back to Amazon because I want the fingerprint scanner. Don't feel like flashing the phone. I'm assuming they have the same bands for Tmobile. Well hopefully they are the same.

This weekend I made it outside town where T-Mo has band 12 coverage and it was working fine on my phone according to the LTE Discovery app.

I'm using the US version. Flashing to enable the fingerprint sensor was pretty easy.

Hopefully nothing goes bad on you within the first year. You lose your warranty with the UK version. The US version is so incredibly easy to flash firmware. You just launch a program and click a few options.
Band 12 works fine for me. I believe the phone supports all T-Mobile LTE bands, I get pretty good speed tests too.
I don't know if or how wifi calling would work. I've never seen a way to get it on non T-Mobile branded devices, I would certainly be interested in enabling it though.

I think Nougat has wifi calling baked into Android itself if I remember correctly. So hopefully the update comes soon.
I'm debating on buying the X Compact or the X Performance. The Performance has a 5 inch screen, not much bigger than the Compact. Anyone with any thoughts on the X Performance ?
Thank You, Vinny

Can you test whether it actually supports VoLTE?
When connected to band 12, try making a call: if it drops to H+ then it supports band 12 but no VoLTE.
If it stays on LTE during the call, it actually works with VoLTE

It does not support VoLTE.
The phone does but TMOb has not certified it to work on their network.

TMobile

Curious.... What are people going to do if they get the phone on TMobile and it has no volte? Essential won't tell us so who knows
I thought this was already stated that it would work with all carriers including Tmobile
Yes but that doesn't mean it will support volte, HD or evs
I’m pretty sure it was asked directly if the phone would work with those features and they said if the service supports it then it will work as intended. The only questionable thing was some sprint uses which I forget what it was.
well, my Mi Note 2 supports VoLTE so I have no reason to think that this device will not work accordingly.

Yes on TMobile USA. Also, if I'm not mistaken, it's already certified on T-Mobile, just not Verizon.
Only Verizon certification is not complete. At least from the information I have.
I have the phone on T-Mobile and it supports Wi-fi calling, HD Voice, and VoLTE out of the box.

For wi-fi calling I just went to an area with wi-fi but no cell signal and confirmed I was able to make a call with it turned on. For VoLTE I just checked that the data didn't drop to 3G or EDGE when I made a call. And for HD Voice I just called another T-Mobile phone and it'll say "HD" next to the call timer if it's an HD Voice call.
Wifi calling turned on today on my phone after not working the past 3 days.

I'm in Houston Texas, and depending the area where I am sometimes I'm in band 12, but the majority of the time I'm in band 4.

Might have been that your APN updated. I had to manually edit the APN to reflect the proper settings and all features have worked since.

Unlocked V35 and Band 71 (600 Mhz)

Does the Unlocked V35 include band 71 for t-mobile? I have done a search and the results are not conclusive. I know--or think--it is enabled for T-mobile wifi calling. But I do not know much else.
Yes, it does have band 71 (600Mhz).
In the dialer put in (277634#*#). It should show the band 71.

Thanks very much. I am trying to decide between the V35 (unlocked) and V40. This info helps.
The phone is compatible, however the carrier may not allow it.
T mobile for example only allows band 71, wifi calling and volte on their phones.
In other words: in addition to the right hardware support you need to have the right modem software and rom
I am using unlocked V35 on T-Mobile and it has Band 71, Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE. Works well for me.
Has anyone know of a way to see what bands are enabled and or a way to disable some bands?
I use a signal booster when in bfe. And some times phone wants to switch to bands booster don't suport. Like 30 and 66 .

Do you happen to know whether the carrier unlocked LMV350AWM will work with either a Project Fi or T-Mobile? I’ve search quite a bit but no seems to verify that it can.

I'm not certain but I've read on XDA that if you have an unlocked LMV350AWM, then you can flash the same code that runs on a LMV350ULM and using on T-Mobile or Google Fi.

All of the bands on my ULM phone are enabled, screenshots are included. Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE works. I cannot show you a screenshot from LTE Discovery of Band 71, since it is not enabled in the Philadelphia metro area, yet. A couple of months ago, I did see it pop up on my phone when I was traveling through the Miami metro area.

The later builds of the v350 awm firmware seem to work with tmobile WiFi calling and early ones, no. The certain fix is to flash your awm with ulm firmware and wifi calling works.
