I live in Sri Lanka. I was able to get an unlocked AT&T G4 (H810) from USA and have used it for a few days now. I have realised that there is no option to change network modes. There is only the 4G mode on my G4 and its killing the battery. Tried changing my sim, updating the software etc. but no luck. Any method to fix this?

The AT&T software blocks it

So rooting it and installing a different firmware version (most probably h810pr) is the only option?

Yes, but you dont root to install a different firmware version. Also its NOT recommended to do so unless you soft brick, as some its bricked there devices.

Yeah I've heard it's risky.. I'll just buy a battery bank.. pretty cheap over here
THANKS!
I believe the reason why you are unable to turn off just LTE is because the US versions do not have separate 3G/CDMA + LTE radios. They are all in one now. Unlike older models where you could disable the LTE/4G radio and just use 3G only. I do not think this is possible now.
Plus Carriers prefer you to use their 4G networks because it is cheaper and frees up the old 3G spectrum for emergencies and SMS, etc.
Don't quote me on this but this what I gathered.
If you install xposed you can use the Intelli3g module to switch to 3g.
I have used it on my G4 as I work in an area with strong LTE signal but horrible bandwidth. In that area, 3g is faster than the LTE

Haven't had this phone very long so I know nothing about the radios. Not sure how much of this matters but I'm on i9020t, currently at&t but soon tmobile, east coast/appalachian area, running JellyB-tsm (4.2.1). Thing is, I went and flashed one of the five I downloaded and it worked so I moved on, now I'm getting bad calls and wifi problems.
Different but related problem, see post 3...

Re: [Q] Most recent radio?
Just flashed the latest radio on the sprint model. It increased my call quality and wifi issues I was having.
Read through the radio thread I know some of them help in some areas but make other signals worse.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Alright so here's my recent issue. Just switched from at&t sim to tmobile sim. I entered the apn settings straight talk says I should and I'm getting excruciatingly slow data. I stumbled across a few different settings for tmobile apn and none of them even gave me a connection. I'm about to start flashing radio after radio to see if anything works but if someone knows something else that might fix it (ie working apn settings) let me know.
Sorry this is so big but upload isn't working here.

This is where I got them but it doesn't really say much about them.
9020a and 9020t have different radio hardware
they are not interchangeable
...so i would ASSume neither are the sim cards
fwiw
Please check IMEI label under the battery for your actual phone model.
An i9020a won't work on 3G 1700 band, you are getting 2G GPRS data speed (the little G on signal icon)
Apparently I'm just not in tmobile's 3g network, didn't even occur to me considering every other major provider works great here. I also didn't realize that just the G symbol was 2g or it probably would have clicked. So anyone wanna trade a 20t for 20a?
And both sims worked, but with the at&t card I only had an edge connection.
I've seen many screenshots of other huawei phones showing the network type icon beside both signal bars (eg. 4G and 2G or 4G and 3G. My huawei mate 9 shows only the network icon if the mobile data enabled sim. But i also want to know if the calls only sim is currenrly on 2G or 3G, how do i enable it?

Thanks for your help or hints!
What happens if you switch 4G data from sim 2 to sim 1? Will that other network indicates correctly then?
I think they removed it in latest update?
I used to see 4g icon even when connected to wifi now it disappear when on wifi.
So maybe they disabled one when the other is active.
Between which region you got?
It depends by region. Don't know why...
There is system setting in local.prop, so it can be changed if you have root and cust partition read/write.

T-mobile could possibly see the razer phone in stores.
https://fwned.com/razer-phone-coming-t-mobile/
I really hope T-mobile and Razer can strike a deal to have the Razer phone available to finance or lease through T-mobile.
Would be nice, however, I have already laid out the cash in preparation for this beauty.

Yes same here. I'm just waiting for them to take my money! lol
I just got the email and paid!
this phone looks amazing. I am going to wait and see if T Mobile actually gets it first, then go from there.
I'm on T-Mobile and have mine in hand. Working great.

It does have a wifi calling option in settings, but so far, I haven't been able to get it to work. I don't know if other people got it to work.

A pecularity w/this phone & LTE Discovery/T-Mobile US:
On the LTE Discovery app,it's showing that I'm connected to LTE Band 3.
AFAIK,there is no LTE Band 3 in the US,but,that's what's showing up.
I'm using a window unit booster (T-Mobile's Cel-FI),& thought maybe that has something to do with it,but,I ruled that out @ work today,seeing the same Band3 LTE.
@ home w/Cel-FI Booster,same with or w/o home WI-FI on | @ work on LTE only

I also tried another cell signal app & it too indicates LTE Band 3,looking like a bit of a bug with the phone,but,nothing lost in functionality.
I just bought my Razer phone and every thing is work great also my WiFi calling, there are so many other features work according to customer desires.

These are the bands supported by the oneplus nord according to gsmarena.com
5G bands 1, 3, 7, 28, 78 - Europe
78 - India
Make sure your carrier is using one of these bands. Some regions use different bands, and a phone made for a region might not work well in another.
Also, are you using dual sim? Because if you are, for Europe atleast when in dual sim mode 5G is disabled until a future firmware update patches things up.
Yes I don't see 5g. I have mobile plan with 5g but I don't we 5g. My provider eses N1 network at the moment. I don't understand why.
OnePlus 8t has the same problem.

OnePlus like other phones have enabled 5G only certain networks. I have list in my blog and also instruction how you can modify your phone modem and enable 5G-support: https://mt-tech.fi/en/modify-oneplus-7-pro-5g-8-and-8-pro-nr-lte-a-band-combos/
As per the excellent guide from @olkitu above, I managed to get my OnePlus Nord to connect to 5G on Telstra (Australia) with pre-paid plan.
Additionally, I was able to get VoLTE and VoWiFi working reliably using this YT guide:
Edit: I'm on OxygenOS 10.5.9 (Android 10)
One question. Do I have to do it each and every time after every Software Update or it is permanent?

Got it! Thank you !
I got the unlocked version from the google store to use on Mint (T Mobile mvno). It does not connect to UC which I figured it wouldn't considering only the Verizon variant has mmWave. However, I went to the T Mobile store and tested their 6a variant and it did connect to mmWave UC, speed test over 500mbs. So I'm curious if loading the T Mobile rom on an unlocked phone would support it.
I purchased the unlocked version, and I get 5GUC on TMobile. But I don't think that it is mmwave
Ok, I see T-Mobile also refers to their n41 (2.5GHz) 5G as Ultra Capacity

I have the 6a bought from a T-Mobile store (well, mailed from T-Mobile as they didn't have sage in stock). I see 5GUC in some places in Ann Arbor, but don't see DL speeds over about 150....
Out in the wild, I never see over 150 either. However, in the T-Mobile store, I get UC and over 400. I have a theory they have one of those personal cell things in the store. I'm in the Cleveland area. I turn off 5G for the most part, it keeps the phone cooler and helps with battery life.
I'm betting that the 5G UC symbol is for native T-Mobile, not MVNOs. If you see Mint Mobile in your indicator, it just says "5G".
I believe only Verizon shows "Verizon" even if a MVNO is used. Most carriers show the MVNO name if one is used, and avoid the branded indicators.
You are right. Even though the band is the same, only the T-Mobile sim displays UC. Found a good video explaining the differences.
I have 2 questions related to T-Mobile and Google purchased phone. I am on T-Mobile and have the default build.
1. Is there anything to be gained or loss by flashing the newer T-Mobile B1 build vs default B1 build?
2. Does flashing to T-Mobile B1 build exclude me from the Android 13 Beta program?
