Where did you here that? Can you provide some link? I already thought something like this would be possible, but a clarification would be nice.

Depending whether you have the Intl. OPO or the Chinese OPO, I have gone from no 3G to full 3G with a different modem on my Chinese OPO.

Ah, so no 4G after flashing that if I'm reading right. I don't have the phone yet, but I'm going to get the Intl. OPO. Also, I'm coming from Europe so I don't think this will be necessary at all for me.

There are some that are having problems with reception depending on where you live. Maybe look into flashing another mode ? Try digging around ( use Google : site forum.xda-developers.com oneplus one modem or bad reception )

i am just wondering is anyone knows if this model can display LTE or will just show 4G? thank you to anyone with any information it is greatly appreciated
If it shows 4g there is a exposed module that allows you to change it to lte
That's my best advice

Thank you for the advice... I haven't rooted yet.. To be honest still on the fence about it... Again thank you for the information.
No problem, honestly I only rooted so I could use certain apps that I like, I always root my phone's aha that's my problem.

Nothing to fear about root. It gives you greater freedom.
Also there are some themes that might change 3G LTE icons.

Yes... My last phone did show LTE.. it was a tmobile lg g4.. As i am in Russia it uses MTS which is LTE also, might just be something in the software is what i am beginning to think.
You can try Flat Style Bar Indicators. Xposed required.

Does anybody know these LTE band list is correct on this page? http://windowsceportal.hu/index.php?m=device&id=10740&c=huawei_honor_8_premium_edition_dual_sim_lte-a_frd-l19
If not, where is a proper source?

LTE speeds while using VoLTE

I am currently a T-Mobile customer, and my phone drops to 3g speeds during phone calls. Thing is, my Nexus 6 (and even the crappy TMo Revvl) don't lose any speeds, and still operate with full LATE service, while my fancy U11 slows down.
Does any other TMo customers experience the same thing?
I do not experience what you describe.
Does your phone maintain LTE icon the whole time?

Depends on the ROM. For some, it goes from LTE to H, LTE+ to LTE, or LTE to 4G. Either way, the icon always changes to reflect a slower data connection, and my speed tests have confirmed that this is not a cosmetic change.

Right, sounds like VoLTE is not working properly on your device. It should maintain LTE the whole time.
I don't recall doing anything specific other than making sure it was turned on in settings.

Thanks! I will adjust in a few minutes.
These settings didn't work for me. Still behaves the same way. In fact, the screenshot is exactly the same as my default APN. I guess I should have mentioned that I have the Sprint HTC U11 that I unlocked, and now using T-Mobile. I did not S-Off and flash over to unlocked as yet.

That seems like an important detail since Sprint uses special firmware... I think that's your problem. Install the US unlocked ROM.

Not the ROM....seems like I need to S-Off and flash the firmware itself. I I'm on a unlocked ROM.

Unstable 4G connection

Hello,
is anyone facing the same problem, that the 4G Signal is often very weak and unstable. For me if the signal isnt the best, it switches to edge or hsdpa+.
With my old phone i have got always 4g at the same location... Any ideas? I have already tried a factory reset and changing the sim card slots.

I don't have that issue but I would say that's usual. All phones have different signal strength. It could be that your previous phone had better than op7. And its hardware related. Sometimes you can Improve it a lil bit with another firmware. But in most case there is nothing you can do.
I'm not getting good LTE reception either. I'm in Canada on Bell Mobility. I have the Chinese GM1900 model OP7 running the latest OxygenOS.
I keep switching between the OP7 and Pixel 2XL and I notice that even though the GM1900 supports all my carriers bands, the OP7 tends to choose different LTE bands than my Pixel 2XL does. Also, I noticed that the LTE Discovery app shows a weaker signal on the OP7.
I'm not sure what the issue is, and I am thinking a refund/exchange will be a hassle but I might give it a shot if I have to. I have only had the device since last Saturday so I am still hoping that there is a tweak or even another ROM I can choose to help this.

Nah. Coming from Mi9 I would say its the same compared to op7.
Edit: you could try to change your network type. Maybe there is something wrong selected.

Already tried to change the network type. No change.
Also it should work out of the box. Maybe the next system updates will fix this.
I have the same issue and I've replaced the phone already and it hasn't made a difference.
My partner's on the exact same network and gets 4g where I get H+?! In the exact same place on an iPhone 6s. Go figure.
I think a firmware update/fix is needed.
Anyone submitted it as a bug?
Sent from my GM1903 using Tapatalk
Finally someone with the same problem. This is exactly my problem. H+ where others get a stable good 4g connection at the same place. Where can we submit this bug?
Edit: I have opened a thread at OnePlus. Maybe all with the same problem can comment this so OnePlus actually cares about it?
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/unstable-4g-connection.1069237/
The Op7 has not been released for my market, is it still ok to submit a bug report there?
Anyone with the same problem?
Can confirm this has been an issue on my 3rd 7 pro, haven't tried on the first 2 before RMA'ing them unfortunately. I want the 7 because I couldn't stand the curves and the weight of the pro in the end so i'm gonna return the one I got now as well....but if this is a widespread hardware issue with both it kinda sucks for me, on most days I use 4g for at least 2 hours.
I think everyone needs to include their views on the issue posted at OnePlus so that they can see how widespread this issue really is.

I'm also gonna return the phone and buy another one if this won't be fixed. It really sucks because with my old(er) Phone(s) I have got better signal strength than with the new op7. This is a nogo for me...

I created a feedback using the Community app, and I also created a log file while having the issue and sent it in with that report.
EDIT: Purchased a Redmi Note 7(the OPO7 costs 3 times more) and i have got stable LTE signal where the OPO7 only gets HSPA+. Gonna sell the OPO7. This is really a nogo for me.
Anyone else with the same problem(s)?

hey, It seems to me you have a problem with the 4g band itself did you try to change it to Europe or Us from hidden settings,
If you haven't tried that may I suggest to do so by searching on google play for an app called android hidden settings, by 0alex..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kasitskyi.hiddensettings&hl=en_US
and change the band between europe and us and toggle as well between 4g and other modes just to make sure it was changed.
I hope that helps,

Question Whats the best Variant for US

Whats the best OTA to install using the OnePlus 9 in America?
Im on the LE2110DA version. Is that as good as its gonna get? Running Omega Kernal?
Check your telegram
Question is so which OTA is Tmobile if I wanna use that. Because my Google FI runs on Tmobile. Misewell try that variant right?
If you read up youll see lol.
LE2110 DA 11.2.8.8
Also using the wonderful Omega Kernal.

Forgive my knowledge but which variant is le2110DA? If its oneplus 9 5g, omega kernel works? I thought omega kernel js only for the pro variant.
Best one for North America would be the LE2115. LE2110 is the China variant which is missing some 4G/5G bands used in NA.
I got 5G, im just wondering if the OTA versions make a difference.
Yes its the Unlocked Chinese Version. LE2110.
So is there a difference between AA, BA and DA as far a cell quality?
Software doesn't give you access to additional bands. You might have SA41 (tmo) but more likely you are just on b2/66 and tmo just gives you the 5G icon. Check with cellmapper to be sure. Your best bet is to get rid of the 2110 and get an actual US device if you want proper 5g
I was thinking the same thing about the 5G icon. It goes from LTE to 5G sometimes.
My speeds are about 50-60mbps when im not connected to wifi. You guys think thats pretty fair and decent?
avid_droid said:
For me, Tmo has had the least of issues. No data or calling issues. No Bluetooth issues such as robot voices on car stereo and better distance outside of vehicle. No odd hiccups.
Although people are mislead with T-Mobiles update numbers not matching,they're actually the same. 11.2.8.8 for AA,DA,BA will be realeased on TMobile as 11.2.6.6. it's the same patches and iterations.
Looking forward to either Monday or Tuesday to getting my new op9.
Selling my imac tomorrow and will not be getting a computer for awhile as I'm tired of either breaking phones or bricking them.

My first oneplus arrives tomorrow, so it's safe to say I should flash the t-mobile rom over my unlocked vanilla rom? I do live in an area where t-mobile isn't the strong hence why I dumped my verizon s21 ultra for something where I can easily control options down to the service menu etc. Funny I tested my non branded moto g and had less call drops with a tmobile sim than I did with my verizon unlocked s21 with the tmb sim.

No, don't flash the t-mo rom over anything lol. If you are on tmobile and ordered a LE2115/2125 just don't mess with it unless installing a custom rom.

Okay sounds good. I had just read above that someone said the tmobile firmware was less buggy than the unlocked version but maybe those issues have been worked out I guess.

That's more like 4G speed. 5G speed would be more than double that. But again, it depends on the area you're in and the coverage for your carrier.

No I didn't say that. It's meant if converting from Tmo to Global roms. If you are on Global stay there.

ahhhh okay sounds good. thanks again
Does anyone have the latest T-Mo modem files? I'm currently on the Europe 11.2.8.8 image but I've been having radio problems since I moved off of the T-Mo base (started with 11.2.4.4 global). I'm getting bad call quality, Wifi and BT issues, and seeming slow data.
I'd like to try flashing the modem files first before redoing the whole thing with MSM.
One other thing - going back to a T-Mo load with MSM won't SIM relock my phone, will it?
Thanks!
Use the Omega Kernal.
But as far as the best Variant. I've been on all of them AA, BA(which your on now) and DA. I think they are all the same besides the DA runs the smoothest out of all the variants

What would Omega kernel do for me? And as that one in the Pro forum?
I've downloaded bluspark, but haven't used it yet. Only stock kernel
Bro Omega kernal is off the chain. So much battery life. Not sure as far for connection. And yeah 9 and 9 Pro are universal.
Thanks. I'll give it a try. Do I install it thru TWRP? I've used Elemental X for so long not sure how other kernels work.
I use EX Kernal Manager
