[Q] List of mobile phones that support 5Ghz WiFi - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I been looking for a list of the latest devices that support the 5Ghz band . I've found an old list from 2012 but am struggling to find a compressive list. I was just hoping someone had a source or even a way i could quickly and easily get one together without going through every device on GSM Arena or PDADB as that would take.... forever.
Cheers in advance

No one at all.....
Looks like its that hard way or no way

My S3 LTE from 2012 does...

I found a list on the bottom of the page here - http://mostly-tech.com/tag/dual-band/ - and this article was written in Jan 2014
Besides that most places say that all newer phones these days have dual band.
Also, the 2nd last post here - http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1201813 - says that:
"'a' is always 5 ghz.
'b' and 'g' are always 2.4 ghz.
'n' is defined for both.
I've never seen anything that supports 'a' that doesn't support 'n' on 5 ghz, though they don't necessarily support all the 5 ghz channels. "
Not sure if that is correct or not but though I'd share what I found.

Thanks for that,
The first list you said is a copy of the original i found from 2011/2012 but as you said, Most phones do have it now. The problem i have is i'm doing all the latest phones (HTC,Samsung,Sony etc etc) and their radios (2G/3G/4G). It's quite a list already and this was just an extra element that would be nice to have added. GSM Arena helped the most as all i need search for is 'dual band' on each varient of each phone and that does the trick. A little laborious but i'm almost there now to be honest. Here is an example of a (VERY) small segment of what i have just showing the problem with having so many different variants of the same phone (Formatting isn't great as its from a excel document 500 rows and over 30 columns wide) just showing 2G, which is easy compared to 4G (FDD-LTE Vs TD-LTE & ALOT more radio frequencies) but its come together nicely, Even if it has taken a while to compile all the information into something manageable.
*FIrst Line is if its 5Ghz or not (i.e- V CDMA & V320e models DO NOT when the others do)*
5Ghz Wi-Fi Make Model 2G
850 900 1800 1900 CDMA
Y HTC One SV C525e Y Y Y Y N
Y HTC One T-Mobile Y Y Y Y N
N HTC One V CDMA N N N N Y (800/1900)
N HTC One V T320e Y Y Y Y N
Y HTC One VX Y Y Y Y N
Y HTC One X LTE / One X Y Y Y Y N
Y HTC One X S720e Y Y Y Y N
I think its safe to safe 4G is a cluster F**K when it comes to the radios in phones! Chuck CDMA & TD-SCDMA in there for good measure and it's all a....... mess if im honest. Still, GOt there in the end

Yeah you're right, its insane now with so many different specs! This is a hard, but great project you are on. If I ever come across any more info on this I will send it your way. If you can, then please do share the list on xda once it is complete! Good luck!

Cheers for the support. I'm actually working on it for a Mobile phone company in the UK so releasing the information is really unlikely as i'm doing it more as a tool for us to use. Releasing it in the end will give others the advantage that we currently have over all other places in the UK and worldwide TBH.
I believe that all information should be free and out in the wild but unfortunately what i think doesn't matter when it comes to things like this. If we want to carry on being on the bleeding edge we have to do a lot of hard work like this to keep the competitive edge.
If t ever does come to be that i can release the information, Be sure it will be here. THe XDA Developers conference was pretty good in London the other week also and had a good time there. THinking may go next year too hoping it will be in europe somewhere
Thanks for the help

I'm familiar with this issue, as I've got a lot of what you need but can't share it without generously pissing of Deutsche Telekom(T-Mobile) and Samsung.
Truthfully I never saw how such a document of already freely existing information could be instrumental in having an edge over the competition. It's more a case of 'THAT'S MINE!' from the boys in charge. But I digress, nothing we can do about it.
All I can add is that pretty much all high-end Samsung phones from the S3 onward support 5Ghz. (barring a few possible market-based exceptions.)
A, N and AC protocols are all 5Ghz-capable.

TBH, the company i work for does work for everyone, We just do things in a 'grey' manner. We have very good R&D and Reverse Engineering team and this list just makes it easier for us to quickly find answers for our customers. We also do laptops and are heavily involved in BTC mining with Cointerra & KnC Devices. Cointerra's and the latest KnC stuff is SHOCKING though, Life support from day 1 and we suspect that the KnC Titan as a problem with the actual Chip :/ We plan to put them in Mineral oil and cool them that way. SHould be fun
TBH, its an awesome company to work for.

Mmm, up to a point - 11a and 11ac are 5GHz by definition. 11n is not a frequency spec though, so you have quite a lot of 2.4GHz-only access points around that are n-compliant. Lots of phones are b/g/n for example.

I'm looking for information on this too, particularly for the off-brand Androids you'll see on eBay etc. Most spec sheets merely say b/g/n, in fact it's rare to find one that mentions 11a.
Yet of the half-dozen b/g/n phones I've bought in recent years, two supported 11a even though it was not on their spec sheets. (They were the ThL 2015 and ThL 5000.)

Best Android handset for hacking?

I am looking to possibly acquire an Android handset to replace my Motorola featurephone and I want something I can play with and hack.
Specs I need:
1.UMTS 2100 and UMTS 900 as thats what my carrier uses.
2.Physical QWERTY keyboard
3.Good hardware specs
4.Readily available on the open market with no carrier lock and all features working including sideload, android market and tethering (I am in Australia if that makes a difference)
5.Running FroYo
6.Easily hackable, rootable and moddable.
I was considering the HTC DeeZire Z but with all the noise about how the G2/DeeZire Z has locks preventing you from changing the system files, it doesnt sound like the right phone (I want one that doesnt fight you every step of the way).
You might wanna shop around. I guess the best way is to find your preferred device/or device you think fits you well and check its development under Android Rom development, check issues being reported, see if you can live with em and make a decision surely noone will tell you mate buy this but you can easily find out all you need by asking device specific questions on the appropriate device thread. Hope that helps.

[Q] A bad buy, need advice

I previously had no Android experience and recently bought Xperia X10 Mini Pro as suggested by friends in a haste as an upgrade from my Nokia E63. After purchasing it, I found it out to be more of a downgrade.The phone itself is outdated but that is a different issue.
Web browsing is better, I got GPS and music is a major overhaul. But the inability to do proper multitask and lack of GSM-GPRS Dual Mode means this is not gonna replace my E63. Sadly, as deep as I have searched, Dual mode is not as easily available among Androids and proper multitasking requires huge RAM compared to Nokia. So I need suggestion on a cheap android that can truly replace, suppose a Nokia E71. Does such an Android phone really exist?
ZTE blade maybe the best one for the guy had no Android experience, or a better one, MOTO defy.
I don't think so

ZTE models are sadly not available Here in Kolkata. That model would not have suited me either. But DEFY is a seriously good mobile. Got good RAM, Armv7, PowerVR GPU, long battery life. Price is within my capability. It is also water/scratch/dust resistant. Are u sure that it supports dual mode? The website does not mention.
I didn't understand the issue with camera clearly, If I get the GREEN version does that mean camera will never work for me using CM9? [I am damn sure India gets green. Guess I'll have to sacrifice ICS then]
From this post it seems that Moto Defy supports Dual Transfer Mode. The only concern that remains now is about ICS update and the camera. Can anyone clarify that?
When it comes to pricing, no one can beat Nokia
There are lots of cheap Android phone available in the market, but you have to compensate in the screen resolution, speed etc. I wud recommend you Galaxy S (i9000) if you can afford...cheaper than dat is Galaxy ACE & Galaxy GIO.
Check if HUAWEI is available in your location, they are the cheapest highly loaded Android devices here in Oman.
zte monte carlo nice
Problem is, none of the mobiles you mention has Dual Transfer Mode in official specs, while even the latest Nokia, the Lumina 800 mentions Dual Transfer Mode (MSC 32) clearly in its specs. It is sad how Symbian died due to lack of interest from the part of application developers, but it had the best multitasking among all mobile OSes. In Android, whenever I minimise Opera Mini to do something else, I am always afraid that perhaps opening the next file will unload the browser in background; while in S60, u can have 20 apps running and 20 tabs open in browser in a handset with only 128 MB RAM, if pushed to its limit, the device will reboot but never ninja kill apps in background.
I can provide many links where people complain about lack of DTM in their Androids. Sony Vivaz is a S60 and it supports DTM.
Some said that editing build.prop allows DTM in some HTC phones. I have tried that in X10 Mini Pro and it did not work. Seems the radio antenna itself is cheap.
I recently ran a test in my X10 Mini Pro by starting a file download in it and sending a barrage of SMSes from another phone simultaneously. The download failed, none of those SMSes arrived ever.
So please mention how u know that those devices suggested have DTM. It is necessary.
I think I need to update my question. From this post, it seems that SE does not provide DTM as 3G already supports multiple connections. SE may think that there is no necessity of this technology in this age of 4G but in India 3G is both costly and rare.
I need GSM DTM, not the simultaneous voice and data capability of 3G.
Edit: I have subscribed for 3G. I was shocked to find that good quality 3G is cheaper than US here. It will be activated within 24 hours. Lets see if dual mode works now; else I'll have to get another handset with better radio.
Update: Ok HSDPA allows simultaneous voice and data in this handset. But 3G drops during calls perhaps due to poor signal so I need stock ROM to force WCDMA only.

Hi,
i would like some help to see if the device i have has any other custom firmware,

i cant return it as the vendor is being very A**holic...
i was wondering since i cant use it or return it... mite as well flash it with a custom rom.
please help me to identify this tablet's common name and if any custom roms are availabel for such device.

Some Info found
I managed to get a little further, and i hope the info helps? Im English but based in Aisa, and often have to source hard to find manufacturers. I couldnt read the model number in your last photo, but as it says on the back of the Tablet, it is made by a company called Easy Groups, who specifically manufacture Memory modules. The main website is egmemory.net
In the support section, they have manuals and firmware downloads, but i stopped there because i couldnt read the model number. The link to the support page is...... egmemory.net/download.php?lang=eng (add the 3 ww's in front)
The only ROMs i could see listed however, where Chinese ROMs but i would have thought there would be an English language option somewhere!
I hope this helps?

I also saw those firmware updates on that website and I clicked the one for the et-6018 and it took me to a dead page. The other links for the other models did the same
A little secret...;o)
If you do the non obvious and do a right click, then select open in new tab, it downloads the 'firmware' for the manual it opens a PDF in a new window.
Unfortunately the 'firmware' on offer is just a utility tool for upgrading and is 1MB in size called Phoenix Card and has a handful of DLL's with it. I did a little more digging and picked up hints to follow 2 models, CWM MK802 and CM10
I did find this though, i wonder if this would work, the author states its a slim custom ROM for the A9 but doesnt state its for any particular model...

Seriously though, these little tablets are quite addictive to play with! When im not at home in the UK, im in Indonesia for most of the year, there is a local market that sells second hand stuff, like a flea market. I often find broken or used tablets for as little as $10 I have about 15 of them now. One i have hacked to the extreme hardware wise, inside i fitted a 4 port hub, a second camera facing forward, a wifi mouse and keyboard dongle, a broadband dongle and a second USB port on the side, maybe i should post this as an instructable? Another i have used the insides as a controller for an amateur radio transmitter.

Is this phone sold in country, or are you going to import it from china? Because if not, I would not recommend you a chinese phone. If it is defective you'll have a hard time returning it (if you can at all) etc.
Btw, if you come from iPhone, I strongly recommend you Google-listed devices (assume you live in the US, it would be HTC One, Nexus 5, SGS4) that come with the stock Android UI. They are updated as soon Google pushes out updates, which is closer what you experience on the iPhone.
Since chinese phones except for Huawei ones are rarely supported in XDA (they lack documentation, source etc) I would not recommend you a chinese phone if you want to try out new ROMs.
If you are ready to take the risks there you go. But as a first time Android user, no way I would go with that phone.
My recommendation for you is the Nexus 5. Hope this helps.
i have to import from china. im a symbian user im sorry i forgot to mentioned where i live. im from sri lanka and no play store available. no way to get a nexus 5. even if somehow managed get my hands on a nexus 5 it would costs me around 550-600$.

If it has to be a chinese phone then I suggest you the Xiaomi Mi3. Great User Interface (MIUI), great update support and best hardware for little money. Xiaomi is also highley popular, it is being regarded like Apple in china.
Go straight for Nubia, it has the best specs out there and far away the best price. I just order it btw.

Good question, in deed I just got a Nubia z5s 3 weeks ago.
(I used to be a Moto supporter, but got disappointed by Moto's sales policy - however, CDMA users can hardly have so many choices as others. forget HTC, bad quality.)
Somebody mentioned Xiaomi, I don't think it's a good option. Nubia's hardware spec is almost the same as Xiaomi, but Xiaomi's shipment and sales policy will drive you crazy. You have to attend to a luck draw first, then could have a chance to buy one!
Regarding the experience, herein I only talk about my experience.
1. BATTERY:
From 7am to 10pm, medium use, about 75% is consumed.
2. DISPLAY:
Much better than MOTO X :laugh: , 1080p. Also, the color is not so cold as Samsung.
3. VOICE&MESSAGE:
Fairly clear, however the location of Mic is just under USB port. sometimes your finger could swipe it when picking up.
As CM user, very delighted to see vibrate setup in "settings", SMS also designed with popup
4. CAMERA
I didn't test too much. However, the respond speed is satisfying.
5. SOFTWARE
a. I have to acknowledge that the UI design is lower than my expectation, especially the icons. Styles in default apps and system UI are not actually unique. But most Androider will change the launcher at soonest, am I right? (ps. I really hate Samsung's UI and the screen density!)
b. Furthermore, the system compatibility...there's no surprise, also no fetal bugs.
c. Seemed Nubia team learnt a lot from CM team. They just released source CODE on their website.
d. It can be ROOTED easily.
e. Some local team has ported CWM RECOVERY on it. Nice job!
f. It's said MIUI by local team is on the way. Also, some guy is working on its AOSP now.
6. AUDIO
Sorry but I never play songs via cell phone. Somebody has idea?
7. DESIGNING
I spent almost one week to get familiar with the weight - it's too light
8. NETWORK
GSM/TD/CDMA, not sure if it can be used in Verizon network?
In conclusion, it didn't disappoint me. I'd be delighted to see more improvements or 3rd party's works on ROMs in near future.
Guys, is this phone suitable for the dutch network and.if flashed with multi language you can use dutch language?

And do you have Play Store installed?
im still waiting for my phone to arrive, but i have seen CWM and Rooting on official Nubia forums. everything is in Chinese. if someone can translate and post here.
Google play works just install gapps 4.2.2 ( you need google framework )
For the Chinese forums use google translate thats how it works 4 me !
The kingnubia rom is recommended it got it all in 1 rom !

[Completed] Help me choose my next device (Dual Sim)

I'm tossing and turning, and quite frankly I'm getting tired of deciding between which device I want to choose for my next all-in-one device.
Currently, I have an LG-G4, and a Nexus 6. I want to consolidate; that means dual-sim is the only option at this time.
I keep coming back to the Asus Zenphone 2 Lazer, or the Huawei Mate 8. I love how the Mate 8 looks, but also like the options of the Lazer.
In terms of ALL AROUND device rank, which would you choose? Why? I'm currently in South Korea, so I also need a device that is capable of using South Korean bands (KT Olleh specifically), but also allows me to use the device when I return to the states with minimal issue. I don't take A LOT of pictures with my handhelds, but that doesn't mean I need a potato for a camera. I don't use all of the space on my devices now, and none of them have over 16GB of storage. I also play with roms seldomly, as I prefer the natural MM firmware as of late.
Primary reason for consolidation is simply that. I hate carrying two devices. My Nexus 6 is my personal device, and pretty much the device I use to stream media (internet radio and Plex). My LG-G4 is the work phone that sees data, but primarily is used to communicate via text or phone with customers.
I'd like my device to use one sim for Data (LTE+ Cat 6), and the other pretty much just for voice/text services.
Thanks in advance!
