Need help on Tmobile - Sony Xperia ZL

Got my zl today excited then let down by problems with internet, so i insert sim and it picks up tmobile and auto download settings then when it start downloading google play apps it hangs. I go to chrome loop up a page get "error 502 bad request the server could not resolve your request", i have full bars and H+ but wont connect. I also notice that when i insert the sim i can just pull it out with out pressing down on it. Any help...
UPDATE: Got it working just need to tweak the APN settings, for future tmobile user the automatic download setting are not correct here is the link for Tmobile settings http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1979

Cool. I was using tue ones from the Somy app...

I know the ZL (6506) is capable of working with T-Mobile's new LTE network, but my question concerns the IMEI number and your account with T-Mobile. On AT&T, your account has to have an IMEI number that is known and recognized by AT&T so as to enable LTE connectivity. Is this also the case with T-Mobile??

The info or where you got your info is incorrect. you DONT have to have a IMEI number that is known to AT&T to have LTE. I have changed phones prob 20 times since I got my first LTE phone and NEVER had to change it again.
You can be on the LTE data plan and everything work fine on a old dumb edge phone then put the sim card back in an LTE device and it still work fine...
LTE worked fine on a Canda Note 2 and One X

Same here. TMo does not care. I just started using my ZL teo days ago, before that was Nexus 4. Just took the SIM from the N4 and inserted in the ZL. All works!
Skickat från min Nexus 4

Hey people, I'm seriously considering picking up a Sony Xperia ZL C6502 Black. I'm aware that it doesnt support LTE on either network, but the price is insanely lowwww! My question is, does anyone know what kind of speeds I can expect to see on TMO and ATT respectively? I'm currently using an ATT Gnote 2 on ST/ATT and I have a Nexus 4 as a backup which I use on the TMO $30/"unlimited" data plan. I only point this out to indicate that I don't get LTE speeds now, which sorta makes it a "You can't miss what you never had" type of deal. I roughly get about 14-17mbs down on either device. Is there any chance I'd enjoy the same with the 6502 on either of these plans??? Any help/insight or even opinions, would be greatly appreciated.

The speeds to expect will be the same as you have now.......

i just received my ZL C6502 today and noticed that the data connection does not work at all. i followed the APN settings on the t-mobile link you gave and still no dice (it does show full bars and H+ as you mentioned and when i switch the SIM to my old G2X its on full HSPA+ speed). i left the house and it was running ok suddenly and streamed netflix, etc. but when i went home it lost the connection again. I'm suspecting that this phone does not really work on t-mo's 1700 AWS even though the box says so and that i only got online outside the house because that area is on the 1900mhz refarm. is there any difference to t-mo's AWS 1700 and regular HSPA 1700mhz?! any insight or help is appreciated!!

I have a 6506 on TMo so I am limited in help. However, someone in my office has a 6502 on TMo and it is working fine. He had trouble until he manually set it. Same case as mine.
Perhaps you have a defective unit? Try removing and reinserting the SIM card. Perhaps a factory reset.
I had mine for almost a month and has been flawless in LTE when in DC and HSPA in Dallas.
Sendt fra min ZL 6506

The 6502 is the same as 6506 but without lte it should work I don't have 1900 coverage and I'm always on hspa and there's no lte were I'm at either. U need to make sure the apn is set exactly there should not be any values under proxy and port also under apn type have it blank that was the issue with mine those three things had values and was messing up internet. Also there's three different apn you have use. 1. Fast.tmobile.com (Lte), 2. Epc.tmobile.com, 3. Internet2.voicestream.com. Give it a try.

thanks for the help guys. ive gathered all that info earlier and did try the three APNs different combinations / proxy - no proxy, etc to no avail. i'm leaning on faulty hardware or messed up radio. i'll just sleep over it but so far its been disappointing :crying: great phone though...

As a quick update I did literally sleep over it and I'm happily up and running with hspa.. I literally left the phone alone overnight lol. Rooted the fone and all I need is to figure out how to get to recovery to put CWM since pressing vol up at boot is not working and flashboot isnt going either (that's for another post). Moody bastard this ZL is.. Anyway Thanks again!

I have a 6506 on TMo without any issues. I live in LA without TMo LTE, but speeds have been as high as 18Mbps in West LA. I only have the issues of bad coverage at my house, but that's just TMo and not the phone.

That's the thing you had an LTE phone AT&T had in their system when your account was provisioned for LTE so you never had a problem after that. For those people that have the ZL as their first LTE phone on AT&T they will have to first get the account setup for LTE using a phone AT&T recognizes on their network.
So basically put the SIM in an AT&T LTE phone, have AT&T provision it for LTE then once that's done you can put it in any other LTE phone and it will work fine

[q] lumia 900 bell canada lte

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to find out oif any LUMIA 900 users in BELL are able to see LTE.
I bought the LUMIA 900 from ROGERS Friday afternoon and Saturday I paid 16$ to unlock code.
I went to bell and change the SIM card to be LTE supported. (I had a iPhone 3GS)
I successfully unlocked the phone an put the new card in,BUT I RARELY see LTE.
I mostly (95%) see 3G and YES I looked at the BELL LTE Map in their website. Even though I am currently located (work) within the area I never see LTE.
I called BELL Canada and they havent been able to give me much information.
Setting on my phone are:
Active Network: Bell
Data Connection: ON
Data Roaming Option: Roam
Hieghest Connection Speed: 4G
Network Selection: Automatic
APN: pda.bell.ca
User Name : Left empty
PAssword: Left Empty

Any other Lumia Users with Bell Canada???
Your help is much appreciated.
You must call
Hi,
I had a similar problem with my Ipad 4G but i found the solution. You must call bell at *611 and get thru to tech support! Once you are thru tell them that you have an LTE capable phone and get them to add LTE Provisioning to your account. After they do that restart your phone and LTE should work. (It may take a while to connect to the LTE network)

Bell LTE is crap. Alot of areas marked on the coverage map for LTE dont work. Travel around the city and see if it works in other areas. For example, Keele and Steeles area in Toronto (not sure where you are) is LTE and I get my LTE signal there. If you still dont then try the above post.
Similar situation here with Telus sim. I get LTE but much more often phone sticks to 4G. In most cases i see only one bar signal. There however have been places where I get 2 or even 3 bars (woodbine and hwy7) only once I have seen 5 full bars of LTE - in the Weston Rd & HWY7 area.
I haven't called Telus about provisioning, all I did is to swap my SIM for a V3 LTE one.

Was yours Rogers too or AT&T?
Similiar situation here. Except I'm using the Titan 2 unlocked on Telus. They share the same networks at Bell from my understanding and same for LTE. I popped in my LTE enabled sim and so far I have yet to see LTE appear on my screen. I live 3 min Yonge/Dundas and work at Yonge/King and have never once seen LTE appear. You'd think being in the heart of the city you'd have LTE 95% of the time but so far nothing.
I tested download speeds and so far best I was able to get from Telus was about 5mb/sec. Not this 21mb/sec that LTE promises. Even on wi-fi at home with the top Rogers high speed plan I only got 9mb/sec.
Did you get the LTE provisioning?

Hey Pistol44,
The same thing I said above should apply to you! In most cases just getting an LTE sim card is not enough. You must also get you carrier Bell/Telus/Rogers to add LTE provisioning. I work for a company that sells Cell Phones on all the canadian carriers and I see issues like this all the time. A quick call to tech support should fix this!

I haven't called them for any provisioning. I get LTE on the Lumia but seldom and almost always 1 bar only. Interestingly the same sim placed in unlocked Sierra Wireless AC754, LTE holds consistently. Still 1 bar, but stays.

Thanks for the info and I did follow the suggestion. I spoke to Telus support and had a lady guessing all kinds of things for me. Clearly she wasn't familiar with Windows Phones in general. She had me try adding an invalid APN, then turning data on and off. She claimed there was nothing to provision on her end. Eventually I gave up with her and tried a hard reset. But still nothing. I edited my APN last night to isp.telus.com (only added the "i"). No change.
Then by some type of black magic LTE showed up today while I was at work and it stayed on my phone for about 2-3 hours even after I left the office. Well now I'm back at the office and it's on 4G again. Funny how I can be in the same spot where it's LTE one moment then 4G the next.
She probably did something!

I would not be surprised if she did something. It usually takes 16 to 25 hours for a provisioning profile to start working. Sometime they do call it something else.
I should also mention since then I've been getting LTE to show up about 75% of the time or more now. Sometimes it goes back to 4G and then I do a soft reset and it goes back to LTE in a few min. Not sure why but that fixes it.

LTE mode on an LT28i won't enable

I have a stock/generic LT28i from Asia. Totally unlocked and all. I'm in the US off and on, so I got a post-paid AT&T plan with data. 3G works great on my HTC One X (European version, meaning no LTE). I popped the SIM in my LT28i and 3G works, but not LTE. If I try to change the network mode to LTE/WCDMA/GSM, it instantly switches back to WCDMA/GSM. If I put my 3 Sweden SIM in the phone, I can set it to LTE/WCDMA/GSM and see [LTE] AT&T in the network search list. So it seems like there's some switch in the software that's forcing LTE off for my AT&T SIM. Any idea what's going on and how I can fix it? I was having issues with my phone bootlooping so I did a full reflash of the generic 6.1.E.2.29.
Is that account setup for LTE with AT&T?

You may need an AT&T 4G LTE compatible SIM card. I had the iPhone 4 with the mini sim and when I got my Xperia ion they told me I needed a new LTE SIM despite the fact that my then current SIM would have fit the in the ion (and they look the same, except my old SIM had the 3G logo on it).
Maybe you current sim is att 3G.
Same thing happened to me a few times. Kept switching to wcdma preferred. Try clearing cache, dalvik and reboot. Eventually I did get it to stick. Also when this happened to me Rogers network was having an lte outage, so that might have had something to do with it. But persistence did pay off in the end.
And yes you obviously do need an lte sim and the lte apn's for whatever network you're on.
Is your APN set correctly?

Ah sorry, I actually gave up and put the SIM in my One X (HSPA-only version) instead. 3G was good enough for my needs. Maybe on my next trip to America I'll put more effort into it.
having the same issue
I'm having the same issue, built I'm on net10, which is supposed to support lte speeds, but i don't get higher than 3g for their att compatible service.
Also, unable to root after phone overheated and did original gb att to gb lt28i, to ics.. the rootme or e4root neither one would work. I've got backups, but they're under titanium backup and cwm, of which neither can i access without root. Is there an .ftf firmware prerooted on ics that doesn't require anything but flashtool to install and add cwm, since I'm sure I'm not the only person with such an issue. If I've overlooked it, direct me to the page where it is, all I've found so far is stock roms, and deodexed, which i can't use.. Also, my boot loader is locked.. I've checked all threads about root and ion, and noon have been helpful with my recent issues..any downloads needed to rectify this and not the usual I've already done that loop back to the same popular pages would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: sorry, i didn't see how old this thread was...and to the above, i'm not sure if what it wrote applies to your network...but most likely you need to look into APN settings required by your carrier...

[Q] unlocked t889 + straight talk at&t sim

I purchased a Straight Talk AT&T sim to use on my unlocked Note II (T889). I get service, but its staying right at 1 bar of edge, or dropping constantly. ATT has great service where I live, and my phone seems to hate picking up on it!
Is there anything I can do to try to get that signal better?
Has anybody else been able to successfully use this phone with straight talks att sim?
Thanks
I did test the ST at&t in my area on the unlocked GN2, the speed was very low no matter the settings.

Make sure you have the correct APN settings for straight talk:

Also I did the reverse (At&t to T-mobile). This thread may help if changing the APN doesn't work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068041
I have this setup and its very fast, almost as fast as t mobile and a bit more consistent.
If you use the APN settings normally recommended by straight Talk try leaving it blank for proxy, seems to make data speed much faster.

Thanks for the responses.
I have tried just about everything, I've come to the conclusion that I should have found a micro sim to test BEFORE i purchased straight talk. My area just doesn't get the at&t 3g signal. Figuring out how to enable LTE on the phone wouldn't do me any good either as LTE isn't supported on straight talk.
What sucks the most....1 mile north or south of my house...and the 4g icon shows with full strength.
If anybody thinks of anything new, please let me know!

I'm considering buying the TMO variant to use on AT&T as well and I have a few questions related to this topic:
Would service reception be restricted to just LTE or can the T-Mobile S4 still receive AT&T's E, 3G, etc as well when used on AT&T's network?
Also, and I'm sure this is dependent on the answer to my first question, would the T-Mobile S4 work with the AT&T 3G Microcell?

I've been using the T-Mobile version on AT&T for a few days. I unlocked using the debug menu instructions in this forum, setup the AT&T LTE APN and set the preferred network to LTE. It works fine on LTE, hspa, etc.
Speed test results were 53Mb down, 19Mb up, 66ms ping in Raleigh, NC.
I gave away my microcell with my POS iPhone because the Samsung phones performed OK without it. So, I can't answer whether the T-Mobile version will work correctly with a microcell.

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy S4 I9500, I keep my brightness at full all the time. When I finish playing games even "subway surfer" for 10 minutes, and exit to the desktop, I find that brightness is lowered alittle bit & increase gradually to the previous state which is full brightness (from 5 to 10 seconds). Could this be a result of that when playing games, the device uses the 1.6 quad core CPU and upon exit it takes alittle time (those 5 to 10 seconds) to shift to the 1.2 quad core CPU?
Really need your help.
Thanks alot.
So it seems this is the perfect phone to use on AT&T due to all that bootloader problems and crap on the AT&T version.
So folks still running fine without issues with this device on AT&T's network? I know LTE bands over lap so those are fine and the specs for the other frequencies all line up too but any problems with any data or voice stuff at this point after more time has passed? Including text and media messaging?

I had left an area with LTE coverage before I was able to network unlock, so I can't comment as to how LTE is working... but I've had no problems using it on Edge or 3G, texting/mms, etc. It even works flawlessly on my Microcell with no modifications other than the network unlock.

Mohan,
Which phone are you getting? The T-mobile version or the Google S4? I read online that the Google version of S4 is the same as the T-mobile version. I'm a T-mobile customer but I want to follow you using the Embryo rom on your new phone selection and hopefully get wifi-calling feature. I'm currently using the Embryo rom on my T989. Thanks.
adding an APN ... issues
lemme ask what will undoubtedly be a noob question. i've unlocked my T-Mo S4. confirmed. i popped in my AT&T iPhone 5's SIM card and boot up. i see that i have a signal, am able to make and receive phone calls. but no data. when i look at the APN, i'm seeing Cingular APN. what gives? i thought the phone would auto-detect and attach to the correct APN and i'd be good-to-go. thoughts? do i need to manually add the APN? I have all of the info necessary. when i try to add the APN, i am able to get to the proper menu, add all of the info. however, when i try to "save" the info, it never shows up as an APN for me to select. so whatever info i've just entered was never saved.

LTE on T-Mobile not working AT&T working

So I got my pixel xl from Google today. It works but I am on T-Mobile and it will not connect to LTE band 4 or 12 which are in my area. I have an ATT SIM for my work which I popped in and it works fine. That said without driving around Atlanta to try to find B2 I cannot tell if it is T-Mobile or the phone. Is anyone else on T-Mobile getting LTE connection at all?
So news today I can connect to LTE. Yesterday when I got the SIM in using *#*#4636#*#* I would get zero reception forcing LTE only. The phone would only connect to UMTS/HSPAP. Today after several restarts and calling T-Mobile and Google support it is now working. Here is what I did.
First Google is saying the update is supposed to affect LTE connecting issues.
Second make sure your SIM is properly registered with your provider. They should elevate the issue to higher tech support to have them look into it. This takes up to 24 hours.
Third go to your dialer do the *#*4636#*#*, go to phone info and change the preferred network type to LTE/UMTS or LTE/WCDMA (I haven't seen a difference between them). (This info is in other threads) Then restart your phone.
The problem seems to be how the phone determines what bands the network provider uses. It defaults to CDMA as the voice connection. For me this meant the phone was always connecting to UMTS only. It seems the firmware has some kind of default setting when it senses an error out the gate. The APN settings and preferred network settings needed to be updated and the phone restarted for it all to work. I now connect to band 4 LTE in my area. I hope this helps others.
I am also getting slow data speeds on my pixel XL connected to t mobile
My XL seems to get pretty consistent LTE service and good speed on T-Mobile.

Weird. I'm getting pretty awesome Band 4 coverage in So. Cal. I also get Band 12 here, but Band 4 is what my phone tends to be connected to, which is fine since it tends to be significantly faster.
I'm in Oklahoma on t mobile getting slow connection compared to my friends. They each have a galaxy s6 edge and get between 70-80 MBs down sitting right next to me. I'm getting 14 MBs down. I just left sprint today for slow connection. Hoping to find a way to get this resolved ASAP.

I only experience the issue in downtown Toronto area and I contacted my carrier, Telus, in Canada. They confirmed that network signal in such area is mainly LTE band 4...
Just an FYI for those with the same issue. Google has asked for my shipping address after contacting them about the issue.

Have you tried swapping SIM cards?
I pulled the sim out of another working TMO iPhone6s and my PIXEL got LTE right away.
Have an update and updated the main post.

Thanks. I changed mine to LTE/WCDMA. Will know how it goes next week.
All seems to be working on my end.
I was having delays in mms being sent. I was using the default APN. About a week ago I changed the APN to the one recommended by T-Mobile. Mms sends instantly now just about. I don't think it's effected much on LTE but I didn't have problems before. Make sure your on the proper APN
I sure hope there isnt a recall..My XL hasnt even shipped yet and im on Tmo
I spoke with a t-mobile rep yesterday who helped me get my issue resolved. My main apn was set up incorrectly. Now I am connected to LTE and not just hspa+. I get generally good speeds most everywhere and I have tower right by my house that must go fairly unused.
