Hi there,
I´ve seen that the Vernee Apollo light has exactly the same Specs as my LeEco2 Pro but as mentioned in Gearbest it has Band 20 4G and the LeEco does not have it.
Is there any chance to activate the band 20 if is available in the Mediatek Chip?
A hidden menu or something like that?
Thanks in advance
Got message from Mediatek to try an app named MTK Engineering Mode, but it is only useful to activate or deactivate the Band which have been activated in the Factory, not to activate new features.
But anyway with or without Band 20 I´ll get a connection here with 4G.
Hi All,
I recently purchased this device, but unfortunately only shows connectivity to 2G (Network : Vodafone Uganda) when I have a plan for 4G
The telco says they broadcast TD-LTE on 2600MHz at Band 38
Device specs
LTE Band 1,3,7,8,20(800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz)
Can also pls help me to get my device to work on the network.
Thanks
Does it has an app for mobile monitoring?
my oprator 4g+ work on band b3 & b7 but my phone just show 4g on statu bar but other phone like samsung show 4g+ on same area.my rom is 8.2.2 global stable.
is mi 5s plus suppport 4g+?
Maybe don't support
But I cannot call or receive calls only one SIM card work for call I use two operator
Irancell SIM card on slot 1 have internet and call other slot don't work internet and call then change sim card in slots HAMRAHawal can call in other slot irancell only have 4g internet and cannot call
When say problems with this phone in Miui forum manager banned me and don't help
I very very angry when saying problems and manager miui banned me why ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The xiaomi is cheating and cheaters the people of word and don't help the rubber is better than xiaomi
Pretty sure only SIM slot 1 supports 4G, slot 2 is 3G. I didn't buy it for the dual SIM stuff so I have only tested the first SIM slot and have had no problems with 4G.
As for 4G+, that is just a branding thing. 4G+ is 4G. there is no difference. The only reason that some phones put 4G+ on their status bar is just that they modified the icons in the ROM.
see - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G
If the phone says 4G, you are gettign 4G. The important quote on that page is:
Confusion has been caused by some mobile carriers who have launched products advertised as 4G but which according to some sources are pre-4G versions, commonly referred to as '3.9G', which do not follow the ITU-R defined principles for 4G standards, but today can be called 4G according to ITU-R. Vodafone NL for example, advertised LTE as '4G', while advertising now LTE Advanced as their '4G+' service which actually is (True) 4G. A common argument for branding 3.9G systems as new-generation is that they use different frequency bands from 3G technologies ; that they are based on a new radio-interface paradigm ; and that the standards are not backwards compatible with 3G, whilst some of the standards are forwards compatible with IMT-2000 compliant versions of the same standards.
4G+ is just true 4G. So if the Mi 5S Plus says 4G, you are getting 4G (or 4G+ as they are identical).
You can verify this with any LTE bandwidth monitor apps (such as signal spy) which will tell you that you are on LTE and which band you are on and you will know then that you are on 4G.
Hi mates. I'm living in Netherlands ...have problem with 4g..
My phone doesn't support band 20 ( 800 mhz )..
Is there an option to access 4g?...
Maybe flashing a custom ROM ?...
thanks
bmg002 thanks for your help.the app like signal spy does not work on my phone because of my phone is not rooted.do you know any app that i see network aggration without root?
offhand, I do not know of any non-root tools for getting any information about what network you are on.
My next best bet would be to get some bandwidth testing tool (speedtest for example) and then check what speeds you are getting out of 4G and compare that with what your provider claims you should be getting. My provider gives me 750 Mbit/s as a peak speed, and 250 Mbit/s average. If your speeds are close to that, then that is all that really matters. If it indicates 4G or 4G+ or 4G LTE or whatever indicator it says in the top, if your speeds are slower than what you are paying for, you will want to look at rooting and opening up some of the 4G channels which will likely give you better speeds.
If you still have your old phone, do a speed comparison in speedtest (or equivalent) and see if it is faster or slower on the new phone. If it is marginally slower (or faster) that can likely be ignored. If they are drastically different, then I'd look at rooting and unlocking other channels.

If you need to access 4G and your operator only supports band 20, then your only option is to use a different phone. From everything I've read on this forum, the hardware has been modified to not support band 20 due to licensing concerns. So a custom ROM or custom Kernel will not affect being able to use band 20. There is no way around it at this time that I am aware of.
Now, if your provider uses a band other than band 20 (or uses 20 and another band), then you can open up the other bands. There are several posts about doing that.

Everything you say is just false.
it is really easy
4G : 150MB/s max
4G+ : (phone connected to two 4G frequencies) 300MB/s max
4G++ : (three 4G frequencies) 600MB/s max
Xiaomi MI 5s is supposed to support up to three 4G frequencies at the same time BUT, in a lot of case, like here, in france, band 3 (1800Mhz) and band 7 (2600Mhz) are the two compatible 4G freq, BUT Mi5S Plus can't connect to 2 freq simultaneously and we don't really know the reason, in china it's not FDD LTE but TDD lte and it works, maybe it just doesn't work on FDD...
This is what we are asking to dev, find a way to enable dual or triple 4G freq in FDD LTE to acces high speed 4G.
I'm sure it's somthing to do with modem or kernel modification :S
Best regards
At the risk of starting a flame war, could you cite your sources on that?
I believe the speeds you quoted are wrong. Telus up here in Canada operates on 4G LTE version 8 which supports up to 750 Mbps max, but to expect average speeds around 200 Mbps (http://www.telus.com/en/sk/mobility/network/). NOTE - 750 Mbps is 93 MB/s approximately. Mind you, independant studies show that average speeds are closer to 20 Mbps for telus ().
Now, correcting my previous post - I was incorrect about our phones supporting 4G+. I misinterpreted the wikipedia article.
Looking at GSM Arena for our phone, it only supports LTE and thus not 4G+ (http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_5s_plus-8350.php). If you look up the galaxy S8+ for example, it supports LTE-A which would be 4G+.
We can read about LTE-A here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_Advanced
and you can see which speeds different carriers offer here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
For example, Telus, which I am on, only recently added support for category 11 - 600 Mbps.
The 4G++ that you speak of I believe is LTE-A Pro (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_Advanced_Pro). But they are not referring to it as 4G++ but as 4.5G or 4.5G Pro.
Looking at this article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_devices_with_LTE_Advanced#Xiaomi - it appears that our phones do not support 4G LTE-A. What is a little confusing is that the 5s does support LTE-A.
I could be mistaken, but I am pretty sure it is a hardware restriction to not support LTE-A.

After some search, Mi5S Plus is only 4G+ intraband and not with interband 4G+
I sold mi5s plus and buy redmi 5 plus better
I don't say mi 5s plus used for 4g or4gplus
I say only my phone don't getting call
Or internet in sim1 by one operator change operator in sim1 to irancell operator only have internet cannot call or get call
The problem is from www.hamta.com must phone registered in this site in Iran for use
Hello dear u should unlock all lte band for using 4g+ in iran i tested this phone in uae and china have 4g+
How can I do it? I just installed Lineage 17 and only appear LTE. I am in Italy and with a brand new P40 Pro Huawei peak download is ~150 mbps but with mi5s plus this is the best can achive.
While Qualcom specs speak of 600mbps for the X12 modem inside the Snapdragon 821

Thanks to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-unlock-bands-and-5g-on-700mhz.4114679/post-84040943 and Network Signal Guru app, I know that available bands for this phone are unlocked.
Why only poor performance on this phone? How to improve them?

I really don't understand why there has been so few attention in respect of this feature so central for a modern smartphone...
I have bought a Samsung Note 20 ultra-SMN986U1 from USA. I work and live in Kuwait and is currently using Ooredoo 5G network. But my phone doesn't show 5G network. Few months back I searched XDA forum and through service mode, change some bandwidth setting. The phone showed 5G only when connected to Wi-Fi but as soon as I switched off the Wi-Fi, the network will change to LTE+. After the latest update no more 5G connection.
Could you guide me how can I activate 5G on my phone that shall work properly.
Appreciate your support.
Thanks & Regards,
Inayat
I have successfully latched on to both Jio 5g and Airtel 5g using Network Signal Guru app (rooting required).
Below are the requirements.
1.
Jio sim with true 5g welcome offer and also proper 5g signals at your location (you can use speedtest.net application to know the 5g signals availability).
(OR)
AIRTEL SIM
2. Nsg app.
3. Open NSG and select respective sim and then go to Band Selection. Change the value from AUTOMATIC to NR/LTE
4. Restart
Update 1(9 Jan 2023) - Airtel has still not Whitelisted Pixel devices. So network reset(reset wifi , Bluetooth and network option in settings) is required everytime you restart your device.
Update 2 (15 Jan 2023) - Latest qpr2 beta(9 Jan 2023) build enabled 5g feature. So root is no more required.
Able to latch onto 3500Mhz at different location.
Working fine with Airtel 5g NSA as well.
Hello, I have Pixel 6a Jan updated, rooted with Jio 5G sim enabled 5G offer.
But even after following your instructions, phone refuses to connect to 5G.
@sampathkumar2811
The same sim shows 5G in iPhone 13 Pro Max at same location and speedtest gives 700-900 Mbps which means I am in a strong network area.

When we select NR/LTE, it lists all LTE bands and I select LTE_ALL (NRBand:TBD)
Reboot
Still on LTE.
Basically forcing NR Only mode by dialing *#*#4636#*#* does absolutely nothing.
Indian Pixel 6a model number: GX7AS
Under Sim, my Operator settings version is dated 2022-08-13

I'm too having same operator version. No issues with that.
Hey, i got operator version updated to 08/12/2022, on QPR2 BETA 2 . As i have pixel 6 unable to connect 5g, but i got option in setting 5G/LTE/3G. So i think if you update 6a to Beta, 5g might work without root.

Mine connects to 5G as I have the 5G Trial offer activated on my number. However, the 5G signal is less than half and speedtest does not go over 64kbps. Like Jio throttling my device via IMEI block or my Pixel 6a is busted with internal antenna problem. So 5G is unusable on my 6a (USA model but model number is same as Indian)
4G reception is absolutely fine.
@sampathkumar2811
My telegram is blocked because I requested too many OTPs. lol
My friend's 6A also has this issue of not connecting to n78 band. His phone connected to only 700mhz and had pathetic speeds.
My sim isnt activated yet and is not working. For Airtel on Pixel 6 it connects to 5G outside home and the maximum speed I got was 200Mbps.

Same here on US Pixel 6a model no. GX7AS which is same model number sold in India.
I hope it's just a beta issue because I purchased this for just 20k from OLX.
I loved Pixel 6a for following 2 reasons:
1. Connects at 2400 Mbps on my home wifi and so I am able to max out of my full gigabit connection. All other expensive phones like iPhone, Samsung reach 500-600 Mbps on Wifi only.
2. USB-C with 3.1 speeds.
Lot of pixel 6 users reported that 5g is working fine. If you are getting 64kbps only then raise a issue with Jio. It must be the problem with them. Certain BTS/band of Jio is having issues because they are in beta. Don't compare with other mobiles and comment here at all.

Who is comparing with other models? I spoke with Jio engineer and according to their system my Pixel 6a should be working fine with latest beta. Unfortunately it isn’t. Only connects to n28 (700Mhz) band with -110dbm signal strength with barely any data speed. Speedtest fails but web pages open excruciating slow.
I am even unable to root the latest beta. The boot.img when patched with latest magisk and flashed using fastboot does nothing.
