Hi I was considering an Xperia pro as my next phone ( im coming from an Xperia x10). I was wondering if anyone has used this phone on AT&T's medianet unlimited data plan. So, can anyone confirm whether this phone will work with medianet?
Cheers!

I am. But avoid this Mobile; OS update turns it into a nightmare!! Sony support sucks!! SE support was wonderful until Sony took over. ICS update turns the phone into a mess!!
But I do use a regular phone data plan. I don't have anything but mobile broadband, so I use my Arc as a modem, especially WiFi modem. Update has destroyed that, makes it a nightmare to connect pc to Mobile.
MOO, so if you are happy, go for it!!

OK.. I was asking about the mk16a Xperia Pro. Not the arc. Good rant though!
Seriously, has anyone successfully used the Xperia Pro mk16a in the USA with at&t's mediaNet unlimited data plan?

It works fine..
He's right. I have feature phone unlimited data, no problems. Well, there are some problems, but they are negligible, I can certainly live with them.
The main reason why I went with an unlocked Mobile. NEVER AGAIN WILL I EVER GET A BRANDED MOBILE!!

Hey guys. Guess whaaaaat?
I got an unlocked xperia pro and it works perfectly on mediaNet!
This is sick!
Great news!! Already blew through 16 gig this month. I have to have streaming video, portable WiFi for my pc, and YouTube, no television. Just don't give at&t your IMEI number. I didn't. Will NEVER buy another branded phone, EVER. Unlocked from now on!!!

Well it looks like at&t has caught up with the mk16a xperia pro. I've been shunted to the 3gb data plan automatically.
BTW, it doesn't matter if you give them your imei or not. They can get that through the gsm connection anyway...

I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. In order to get LTE am I required to have a LTE sim card? Or the proper APN should work?
Fido doesnt have micro sim lte cards. Only standard size which means I need to cut to fit. Furthermore, I get no where calling them. They can't answer one question I have.
Thanks !

You do need an lte sim card.
Fido have micro/nano LTE sim card. http://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/Fido/SmartCard
You might also need an lte data plan, and the right APN settings.

I finally did get a regular size LTE card... they are RARE but im using a galaxy note and im pulling about 23-25MB/s but It keeps bouncing between that and 4G so I know its in the baby stages but yeah the LTE stuff is all equipment base. If the LTE settings that auto come up doesnt work just delete it and make your own it ltemobile.apn and it should work. I had to do it with mines.
You need both apn set up and the lte sim card. I think a micro lte sim released with iphone 5 launch so you can get that, otherwise, you can buy a regular sim and cut it to fit the micro sim slot.

From fido: Can I use my existing Data add-on for LTE?
Yes, all our existing voice and data plan as well as data add-ons are LTE ready and most of our older data add-on are also LTE ready! This means the only requirements to be able to access LTE are a Fido LTE SIM card, a LTE device and to be within the Fido LTE network.
LTE in Toronto is fully operational, and it works well. They only have standard sizes, like you said and require cut. I'm getting 30-50 mbps down, 10-20 mbps up.

Yeah iphone 5 uses nano sim. Smaller than micro.
I'm also pretty certain that the towers where Rogers has deployed LTE, Fido users will associate to. All Fido phones are connected to Rogers towers, seeing as Rogers owns Fido.

Yes They do now. it's been implemented in august. Just go to a fido retailer that has sim cards make sure it says lte, have them cut to fit (some of them have the sim cutter) as they only have standard size and nano. Pop it in Your unlocked sgs3. go in settings>more settings> mobile networks>access point names and select fido lte.
Don't forget to thank me if that was helpful to you.
No lte
Here's the thing: the fido Site says lte is 2100/2600, but the S3 uses 1700/700 for lte. If fido uses Rogers towers, would it not make sense that they use the networks as well?
When I go to Kanata I had lte on my iphone 5, and now when I bomb around there I'm not getting lte on my s3. I have an lte apn set up the way fido and everyone else has said to, but it's just not coming thru...
Can anyone give me any insight?
Just wanted to link to this post I made in the Fido forums for anyone having trouble getting LTE setup!

It appears that the M may be a slightly different variant then the normal I9250. Possibly SIM locked to Bell. But here's some threads to try with your exact issue:

Can you see your baseband in the About Phone screen?
What about your IMEI? Does it match with the one on the label behind your battery?

Hi
So I have a T-mobile unlocked SM-N900T that I'm currently using in London. I'm on Lycamobile and want to try their 4G network but for some reason my phone just will not connect to LTE. 3G works fine but that's as far as it will go.
I've been able to use 4G in India on the same phone so I know it does work, but for some reason it just wont connect here. I've tried the *#2263# service menu and selecting LTE -> ALL just gives me the no signal / network icon.
Have tried resetting, pulling out the battery and SIM but nothing seems to work.
Has anyone had these issues or any suggestions?
Oh - phone is Unrooted and running the latest KK update.
Any help or advice is graciously accepted. Cheers!
They just might be using a band for LTE that the phone doesn't have/support.

It handles a bunch of them, but not all. I'd look up the band their service uses for 4G, and see if it's compatible with your phone.

Thanks Andrew. I'll give that a go. They've called me a few times but keep reading from the same script. Was promised a call back on Sunday, but nothing and its Tuesday already!
They don't offer contracts as they are only PAYG but let me look up specs for O2, as they piggyback their network.

Ok. ..so it would seem that the tmobile phones operate on different lte bands. So I've attempted to flash an international rom on this phone and as the Eagle eyed will note, this was done successfully. I should therefore have an international modem etc now? But I still can't connect to 4G! So does this mean that this is a device (actual hardware) issue or can this be sorted by flashing a modem that allows me to connect to all bands?

Hello all
Living in the US we are very limited to what dual sims are available to us.
I am planning to buy the Samsung Note 3 Neo Duos since here in the US I am using the Note 3 for Tmobile and right now I have a Philippine sim and intend to use it on the 2g just for texting..I would like to know if anyone is using the NEO in the US 3G successfully or on H+
According to gsmarena the duos only has support for HSDPA, 21 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps, which is H. You wouldn't get H+.
I had no problem getting H and occasionally H+ on my 7505 which supports HSDPA, 42 Mbps.

Well it is a great phone, I live in Northern Va., just outside of Washington D.C., and have had mine for a month now. I still need to root it, but am waiting for confirmation on a viable way to do so.
It works great with my home Sim, Straight Talk and my work Sim, AT&T. I get consistent H+ Signal Strength and have tested it to get an average speeds of 7.8 Mbps download and 2.1 Mbps upload.
The SVoice has many capabilities, and is very handy to have. I guess I have to figure out which commands work and which ones will only confuse it and bring you to a Google search page, which always happens if you mis speak, or ask it anything it doesn't understand.
So far I cannot find anything wrong with this phone. I works great. It is very lightweight and I got a case for it. I put a screen protector on, even though I have heard mixed reports of it messing with the screen sensitivity, but turned on the feature, "gloved fingers", or something like that which allows you to use the touch screen while wearing gloves.
I have owned Dual sim phones for 8 years now, from the first Chinese no name Galaxy Clones, to the new BLU Studio 5.5, and the NEO N003. This is by far the best phone I have owned.
I give it 4 out of 5 Stars, (1 star for not having 4G LTE appear on the screen, it only reflects H+).
Hello guys, I am from India and planning to buy this phone. But the is not available in market right now just online. I have gone through youtube as well for some features like others phone.
