So I was seduced by this phone, I was hesitating between this one and the Xiaomi Redmi plus. The Redmi was a bit too big to fit well in my belt holster. The thing is, I didn't know that much about network requirements. I thought that if I have LTE, I'm all good, but I need 2G or 3G for calls !!!
I'm in Canada. Zero support for 3G, I then tested a few carriers and Rogers/Fido support the same 2G as my phone, so now I can make calls but I don't have LTE tower from Rogers here that is compatible with my phone (Band 7 only), so I'm stuck in 2G for data. I have full LTE speed with Bell, but no phone calls. I'd rather stay with Bell, but I need to activate VoLTE, the option is not there. I'd like to confirm that I can flash my phone with the patch (ref here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/enable-volte-flashable-nougat-phone-t3693152). Or should I wait for Oreo which should get to the phone in May ?

Just to verify the mha-l29 allows for both SIMs to be 3G or higher? I'm wondering as some countries like Australia shut down their 2G and I would like to get a local SIM for data but also have my roaming SIM active. The Huawei guide online says only 2G for the 2nd sim, but screenshots here state otherwise (sim 1 2g/3g/4g and sim 2 as 2g/3g)
Correct - mine run as 4G on SIM1 and 3G on SIM2 - I use Telstra and Optus... you can also flip between which one has the 4G in settings, etc.
I can confirm, my mha-l29 has one sim on 4G and one on 3G

Perfect. Thanks for the responses!
Does the unlocked version work on Verizon? Specifically 5G. I've seen some stories say yes and some say no.
I currently have a 6T and want to upgrade.
It works like all 1+ from your 6T onward. So far only 4G. Even though VZW turned on the (Nationwide) NSA low bands n2 n5 n66, the phone doesn't connect to them in 5G mode.I verified that it is currently running on band 66. It will likely never connect to n260 or n261 UW bands as it doesn't physically have the antenna like the custom 1+8 for verizon does.
I turned on the NR via the dialer using *#*#4636#*#* as 5G is not available in the regular network settings. A tech told me there is a specific 5G sim so that's still a possibility. I only swapped the previous sim in from a Pixel XL. If someone gets to that hopefully they'll post up or if I ever get a new one from VZW I'll chime in.

Just received this notice that I have to replace my LG V60 Unlocked ATT variant by July 1st 2022
Apparently, the ATT version of VoLTE does not work with TMO

Or they just dont recognize your device as being compatible, but it will be fine. Try this. Turn off 5g. While connected ONLY via cellular, place a call. Leave the call connected. Perhaps call a friends phone or some such. Now watch a long you tube video. LTE phones without VOLTE cannot support data and voice at the same time. When you place a voice calls they fall back to 3g for the voice calls and drop the data connection. Of you can stay connected to lte and watch the streaming video while talking on the phone at the same time, VOLTE is working.
In case anyone is wondering, these are the speeds I just got on my Mi Fold 2 in Santa Monica, on T-Mobile

I"ve yet to get any connection on 5G around me since switching to T-mobile last week. not a huge deal since I very very rarely ever need data but it still bothers me a bit. there are 5g bands that Tmobile uses that wont' work with this phone from the charts I've seen and I think thats the problem in the Pittsburgh area
Yep: TMo has a patchwork of frequencies, and in some places it'll be great and in others it'll be literally non existent.
I live in the bay area, I rarely get 5g, but when I do it's crazy fast.
Do any of you have 5g aggregation on in developer mode? Do y'all experience any different with it on vs off?
Also, for TMobile are y'all on epc or fast apn?
In advance setting, do y'all have 5g smart switch on or off? Does that also help?
Hello, if someone could help me please.
I have the cell phone for 2 weeks and in the first days I could select 2g 3g 4g 5g
now I have fixed myself and I only have to choose 3g 4g 5g
did this happen to someone else
I can't choose 2g, it's not...
please help me
thank you so much

Yes, android version could be the reason
