LTE discovery on Honor 8 - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi folks,
Just wondering: been trying to use LTE Discovery, which is mostly working, but it doesn't seem to want to show the LTE band I'm using.
Has anyone managed to get this to work? Or got an alternative app that will do the job?
Thanks.

Same issue

I asked the same question a while back for the same issue. I am not sure why the app doesn't work. I am on tmo-us and it would be nice to know whether I am on band 4 or band 12.

Hmmm random that nobody seems to know why. Bumping in case there's someone with a clue here.

Do you have Spark in your market? Might take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715529

Wouldn't matter the market.
Tri-band Sprint phones can't have data & voice, unless you're on WiFi.
When VoIP gets around it won't be as big of a deal but I doubt that happens with VoLTE while this phone is around, probably in another year or 2 on those phones.

T-Mobile uses VoLTE (voice over) and it must be supported by software in its phones, if it isnt, it will switch to 4G (H/H+). Does the VZW NE support H/H+?

I have no idea, but i have alway seen 4g lte on it and on call data stops.
Note: i am only getting lte, no 3g, h/h+ and every time i am on call my mobile network type goes to UMTS.

Yup, even though Verizon LTE phones are unlocked out of the box they are not smooth sailing most of the time. They mess with them somehow to make some things inconvenient. You'll have to search around for the solution by people in the same boat as you. That's what I had to do when I was using the Droid Maxx on T-Mobile.

My advice to you would be to not limit yourself to searching only those with a note edge but instead expand your search to anyone using a Verizon LTE phone on t-mobile. It is usually something similar that is causing the problem therefore something similar that will resolve it.

Why not get a unlocked t mobile edge, instead of a locked down VZW?

The Note Edge only has 1 antenna and on Verizon phones you have to install and subscribe to Advanced calling in order to get simultaneous voice and data. And since Verizon's VoLTE requires Band 13 I believe, you are most likely going to be out of luck.

FRD-L19

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.

LTE bands
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?

TMobile Wi-Fi calling

Has anyone gotten WiFi calling working on T-Mobile?
If I missed the post let me know.
Wifi calling is not present in the Taiwan version of the phone.
Hey John, have you been using the phone on Tmobile in SF? How has your service been? I'm thinking about picking up a U11+ too and live in SF but I'm worried about the lack of band 2.

Hey. Sorry for the delay.
LTE Band 4 works just fine in SF. I am not impacted at all.
Using the LTE Discovery app, my Pixel XL also rides on band 4 so I am getting the same thing on the HTC U11+.

I'm interested in this one as well. I wonder if the US U11 Rom, which does have those features could be ported over since they are so similar.

This would be interesting. I wonder if rooting and changing a setting could allow WIFI calling?

Everything seems to be there. I'm somewhat surprised it doesn't function out of the box.

Verify T-Mobile Band 71

Is there any way to verify or force Band 71 to test that it works on a T-Mo Pixel 3? Thanks!

Thank you, but I guess I was specifically referring more to what could be done with the Pixel 3 in my hand to confirm that I can use Band 71 and verify it on the device myself.
Thanks

Try the app LTE Discovery. It will tell you what band your on so you'll know if you come across it. Not sure if it will list every band available to you.. Which sounds like what you want to know.
Ok. I will check it out. Thanks!

I've been wondering the same thing and haven't found an app that shows it yet. I'm in an area that has band 71 and I haven't noticed a difference in coverage since moving from a Nexus 5X. Let me know if you find anything that works.
I've been worndering this as well... I use signal spy and have yet to connect to band 71. My coverage has not improved and i still lose signal at the usual deadspots in my town...
Can anyone verify that they have been able to connect to band 71 with their Pixel 3? I haven't seen anyone say that been able to connect...
It should. It supports it
