Need Help with my Honor 8 - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
I just purchased the Honor 8 (FRD-L04) to replace my T-mobile LG K10, and noticed that where I live, the honor 8 won't connect to LTE (Band 4 or 12) even tho I have a LTE booster in the house. my LG K10 gets LTE immediately but the Honor only gets 4G. But when I come to work, The Honor will connect to LTE.
Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thank you!

Honor 6 Plus PE-UL00: How to enable LTE Band 40

Hi guys,
Has anyone been successful in enabling LTE Band 40(2300 Mhz) on Honor 6 plus PE-UL00? I believe the device supports the band as the other version PE-TL10 has it enabled.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Sorry but band 40 is not supported on your model and it cant be activated as far as I know.

No, because the SoC doesn't support 5G.

			
				
Mate 10 will do

I think Mate 9 and Mate 8 will not support 5G network.

mate 9 is almost 2 years old model and 2 years ago chinese operators are not supported 5g standard yet. now some of them are upgraded and newest phones like mate 10 and honor 10 will support 5g.
but I think mate 9 is still great for 4g because it has dual sim dual active option (DSDA). so you can call using first sim and second sim card will be active and data will work so if you need to be always online, this is the great solution.
anyone know mate 10 will be DSDA too or only one sim card will be active ?

Mate 9 is Only 10 months old and Not 2 years, it doesn't support full active 2 Sims as you mentioned, and the last device from huawei was the P9 with DSDA.
FUTURE devicew will not support it as well.

the last device with 2 separate gsm modules was mate 8. huawei is not producing DSDA phones anymore, all upcoming phones will be dual stand by only

I heard that asus is still producing devices with DSDA function (like zenfone 3 or smth).
huawei was great with mate 8, but this is old device already.
不支持。It won't support,because the Balong 750 only support 2G/3G/4G LTE Category 12/13.

Since the standards for 5G have not even been finalized by the ITU yet there are NO phones yet that support it. Even Qualcomm has yet to put their 5G into any SoC yet (late 2018 supposedly) let alone that there is no network infrastructure yet in place

From what I understand the 600 Mhz is just a uhf channel (which was used for TVs back in the days) and its only advantage is that it could be used in rural areas. 5G is completely a different animal.

LTE-A Question - all variants.

Hello everybody,
I would kindly ask you to tell me if anybody has seen the "LTE-A/4G+" icon on their Honor View 10. It does not matter if it is the indian model, the european or the north american one.
I would like to know if the phone can use the LTE-A mobile data.
In case there is a positive answer from somebody, please, attach a screenshot too.
PS: A friend of mine has Mate 10 Pro which is prettty much the same phone. We are both on the same mobile network and he is always with 4G+ while my Honor View 10 is constantly stuck on just 4G. We have tested the speeds and I was getting around 30-40 mbps download speed while my friend's phone showed results of 70-80 mbps. We made the test few times and the results were always the same.
I am looking forward to your comments.
I guess no, we only get 4g. Never knew there was really that much difference between 4g and 4g+ as didn't saw much difference between 3g and 3g+(maybe cause 3g didn't never gave as high speed as 4g). I am currently using 2 different carriers for data in this phone and both gives 4g. Actually never have seen 4g+ in any phone before and kirin processors doesn't has anything locked features so same processors from kirin should give the same support. I guess they can fix this with a software update for our phone
@qtoo941 Is carrier agregation related to LTE-A? The only think that could happened is Mate 10 Pro is certified by your carrier as LTE-A mobile, like it happens with VoLTE.
My carrier is Vodafone Spain, and never seen 4G+ or similar, on BKL-L09 european.
In the build prop somewhere I saw 4g+ symbol value was set as false
I got in touch with Huawei Bulgaria and they said the Honor View 10 does not support LTE-A because of its antennas. I am shocked... I am not sure if this is true or not but for now I believe the LTE-A can be unlocked with a software update, because a friend of mine received an update on his Mate 10 (regular, not pro) like 3 months ago and immediately after the update he saw the 4G+ icon, which was missing from his phone before that software update... However, I would like to know what is the case with the Indian and the Chinese variant..
the device officialy supports LTE-A Cat18 but to get it work must your carrier supports LTE-A (4G+)
i have the 4G+ in my honor v10 supported by my carrier

Can you please upload a picture of your phone? For example go to "About phone" and then make screenshot, where the 4G+ icon is actually visible. Would you please do that, at least for me?

Mate 30 Pro 5G

I have this new phone (China version) and will be travelling to US with me. Is it working on all US operators or particular one only in 4G & 5G modes? Thanks!
Did you find out?
As want I know it doesn't work at Verizon and Sprint others all good
Not sure about US,
My Mate 30 Pro 5G is working on all UAE operators and very high speed on 5G.
I read in chines forums that Mate 30 Pro 5G should work globally with no issues.
Please update us about your experience.

AT&T Note 10 SM-N970U 5G support?

Note sure if this phone actually getting 5G or just a displaying bug for data connection. Got this phone right after Christmas from AT&T.
I know Plano/North Dallas TX area have 5G coverage up and running.
When I'm at my workplace area in Plano TX, my phone shows 5G data. Surprised me! Is this just a bug? I read that Galaxy Note 10 N970U do not have 5G support. Only the Note 10+ 5G specific model. (not Note 10 and Note 10+)
Is anyone seeing this on their Note 10 N970U?
Even though it shows 5G data, is it only running at 4G LTE?
If the phone is really using 5G, how do I turn it off and only use 4G LTE? I try to find in settings to turn it off, but cannot locate it.
Thanks for your help in advance :good:
