Xperia Z1 radio band mode change options, suggestion

Hi,

Would it be possible to add in future updates more choices for radio mode?

Currently there is:

- Lte/wcdma/gsm -mode
- Wcdma/gsm -mode
- wcdma -only mode
- Gsm -only mode


I would want to see also

- Wcdma/lte -mode
- Gsm/lte -mode

Those modes can be choosed with 3rd party softwares and with other Android lte phones. Please make those options natively available. If possible it would be also nice to have possibility to disable dual Carrier -mode.

I will pass this on; however can you please elaborate on the reasons for wanting these functions as I don’t understand what would be gained by having such options.

Well atleast lte/wcdma mode would give you possibility that phone won't drop to gsm at weaker signals.

The dual Carrier is problematic sometimes with weaker signals, data won't move. I have seen this with data cards aswell. When i have disabled the dual Carrier from data cards with at commands, there haven't been any connection problems. With phone i have seen same. Outside the dual Carrier the wcdma connection is stable but in many dual Carrier areas, after day or so connection needs to restart.
