Finally was able to get full LTE working on my Mi Mix 2s.
The problem is when that updated the IMEI on my account, the AT&T system didn't recognize the manufacturer and device so it only provisioned HSPA assuming it was a flip phone.
When they reverted to my Pixel IMEI but with the sim in my Mi Mix 2s full LTE came up after reboot.
A request was added to include the XIaomi on their list of acceptable devices, but was told that it could take 10 days or more.
So if you are switching from another nexgenphone don't update the IMEI until you can confirm that they recognize the device as an LTE capable device. Curious if I had the IMEI of a VoLTE device if that would also get provisioned.
Cheers,

Hey, are you on the Chinese miui or another rom? Does it show 4G for you or it actually says LTE? Can't get it beyond 4g

For you it shows Lte on the top? For me it shows 4g if I'm on Lte and 4g HD if I'm on Lte and VoLTE is enabled. On previous phones I had the option to decide if I want 4g or Lte shown on the top if I'm on Lte

Which phone does AT&T think you have? VoLTE is not provisioned for me so I don't see 4g HD. or VoLTE. From what I have experienced, the level of service provisioned is based on At&t recognizing the device from the IMEI.
Prior to my Mix 2s I had a Pixel, when I originally provided my 2S IMEI number to At&t the service fell from LTE to HSPA. took a few days with them on the phone and emails to rollback to the IMEI on the Pixel for LTE to be restored.
Don't know if they can custom provision service or if the options are driven by the IMEI selection off of some pre-defined menu.

Curious if it's just me or if it's the One/CM11S...
No issues with LTE, but the connection drops to H or H+ when I'm on a call... Then picks back up immediately after the call ends.
I'm new to AT&T, coming from Verizon, so I wasn't sure if this was typical... So I tested my wife's G3 and a friend's S5 and they both maintain the LTE connection.*
Thanks in advance.*
This is working as intended, the phone or your carrier does not support Voice over LTE (VoLTE). To my knowledge, OPO doesn't have VoLTE just yet, hopefully it will since the hardware is obviously there but requires the baseband to enable VoLTE.
Ok... coming from Verizon I am not that familiar with GSM stuff. On Verizon the voice and data connection were not so linked... so if I was on the call, the LTE connection was maintained for data still. As long as I know this is normal right now, I am ok... was just concerned it was me/my device.
Thanks.
Verizon doesn't support volte, your calls are done over CDMA. Since they are different technologies you should be able to maintain lte data. Which is good since like 2g gsm, CDMA doesn't support both data and calls at the same time. ATT is rolling out volte but only to certain phones. Since att just sees the oneplus as an unknown device, it's probably not allowed volte yet if it's capable.

Sadly, the phone I used before the Nexus 5 doesn't have VoLTE as well. The N5 and OPO definitely has the hardware for VoLTE but it has to be enabled in the baseband. Hopefully OPO/CM flips the switch and allows VoLTE.
Interesting information, I appreciate it.

If you read the thread before posting, VoLTE is not yet supported. It is unsure whether or not the OPO will support VoLTE. OPO certainly has the hardware capabilities to support VoLTE but it is up to CyanogenMod and OnePlus to activate it via the baseband. Also your area must have VoLTE with your carrier.
Before OPO, or any phone for that matters, supports VoLTE operators must implement it first.

Its already being deployed in several markets. I live in New York and its deployed here, just the phone's baseband isnt activated for VoLTE yet.
But yeah it depends on phone as well as the carrier.
if you have a problem with switching between frequencies check the settings. Enter the dialer and enter * # * # 4636 # * # * and check the network settings. You probably have a TD-SCDMA ....

I am hesitant to mess with it since this seems to be the norm for GSM providers like AT&T (I just wasn't aware, since my past experience has been Verizon (2.5 years) and Sprint (~14 years) and both are CDMA providers).
That said... this is the setting in question (see screenshot).

Mine is the same as your screenshot. I just changed it to LTE/GSM auto (PRL) since that's what my AT&T S4 was set at with the same SIM card. Let's see if that fixes the stability between it switching between H, H+ and 4G frequently.

No, the iPhone 5 doesn't support SVLTE (Simultaneous Voice and LTE). Almost all other LTE phones on Verizon support SVLTE. I had the Droid DNA on VZW and it absolutely supported SVLTE.
It was stated when the iPhone 5 was announced that it wouldn't support SVLTE.

Yeah don't listen to this guy. The F model is exynos correct? That means no Tmobile software.
The F model you bought might be region locked so it may not work in the USA right now without unlocking it. I know there have been other threads about this not sure if a solution has been found or not.

Hey Cortez. Good to hear this as I have the FD as well. Bought it on eBay from a trusted seller and it is region unlocked. I have LTE provisioned. So...i have "4G" and not 4G+ although I have seen both. What do you show and what band are you on?

4G = LTE. Go to SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>STATUS>SIM CARD STATUS and you should see LTE under Mobile network type. that's how i determine LTE access... there's also an app name LTE Discovery that can be used to determine which band you're using. by the way, i believe 4G+ is LTE-A, or carrier aggregation, which is faster than standard LTE..

Wouldn't matter on band support. VOLTE should work on all supported LTE bands for T-Mobile. If it drops to H then that means there is not VOLTE support for T-Mobile.

I tried. Not possible. I got all the way to putting in the new values in the phone, but when you reboot it they go back to default. There is a fail safe in the kernel preventing it. need a custom kernel to do it successfully. Here is the thread that I was discussing back and forth with another member:

It all depends on the band the carrier is using. The phone doesn't have all LTE/4G bands unlocked. So if your carrier is using a band that is available on the phone then you are golden. For me the only band the phone has unlocked that AT&T uses for LTE is band 5. Half my city is band 5, and the other half is 2 and 17. So in the band 5 areas I have 4G, and in the 2 and 17 areas I have HSPA+

The LTE bands in the U.S. are blocked. Back in the day we had same issue with the original Samsung Note 1 - in was only built originally for ATT. Eventually folks built roms/kernels that did the trick on T-MO.
So here's to hoping the same thing happens w/ our ZF3ultra

Hello XDA community,
I have a Mi Mix 3 Palace Edition phone and I am using AT&T for my carrier. The phone came with a Chinese ROM but I flashed it with a Global one. I have been trying to get 4G + LTE to work on the phone but so for all I am able to get is 3G. I have contacted ATT and was told that my account was not setup for it. So ATT's advanced technical support made sure the IME/my account on the phone was LTE enabled. I am still stuck on 3G. I have selected the correct APN for it but I do not connect.
What am I missing?
Preferred network Type?

Did you checked if your apn is correct?
Try selecting 4G network manually. I faced issue like that initially with ATT MVNO. After seleting 4G network manually I am geetting 4G+
In the Settings, go to About Phone, and tap the storage until it brings you to the SIM and WiFi screen. Tap on the Phone Information for the SIM you are using and set that Network Type to UMTS/LTE.
AT&T blocks any device you did not purchase directly through them from using VoLTE and WiFi Calling. 4G is also LTE, so if you see the 4G icon, that is also LTE and 4G+ is also LTE-A.
Anyone using the Poco F2 Pro on T-Mobile in the US?
I am. Reception is no different than my T-mobile OP 7pro. The F2pro also don't have tmobile 5g bands.
I tried to reply on Reddit to your question, but guess it didnt show due to low post count. I'm using a Xiaomi Mi 10 Global in the USA and I have VoLTE enabled over a Tmobile MVNO. Wifi calling does not really work properly, at least with the provided IMS settings. As stated above, 5G will NOT work in the USA due to Xiaomi missing necessary USA 5G bands; and 4G LTE may be a hit or miss depending on your area. As long as you're not getting the phone for 5G, it's an excellent purchase! It's not going to be necessary to have a 5G enabled phone for many years anyways, 4G is really fast enough. Hope this helps

Thanks for the info. I currently have a Mi 9 and have voLTE on T-Mobile and Fi (I did have to use the dialer code). I was just wondering if it's different for the F2 considering it lacks band 12 that the Mi 9 has. Looks like the Mi 10 global has the same bands as the F2, and you're getting voLTE, so I should be good. I also had a Mi A2 in the past, which had bands 2 and 4, which was fine, but voLTE wouldn't work, even with the dialer code. So calls defaulted to 3G, and I would constantly miss calls because it wouldn't ring. I just want to make 100% sure I can get voLTE with the F2 before buying.

Yes I'm getting voLTE and voWifi. I used the dialer code but the funny thing is to enable both I actually had to disable them. Even though after the code I get a prompt that the they're disable they are actually enabled.

No problem. I had Google Fi on my Pixel, then got the SIM to use for the Xiaomi Mi 10 Global and everything worked, but I just ended up going with another cheaper MVNO for Tmobile. The only complaint I have is generally I receive like 1-2 bars of reception in my house, when I go about 2 miles out it will jump up to 4+ bars. So when you receive your F2 Pro after setting up the APN settings, ensure in "preferred network type" it is 5G and not LTE! It will obviously not connect with 5G and default back to 4G LTE, but I had a random bug when setting it manually to 4G without voLTE, my phone calls would cut out at exactly 8minutes on the dot, NO Idea why that would happen, just giving you a warning lol. You don't need to use the dialer code by the way, you can set the "Use VoLTE" in the Mobile Network Settings and you will see a VoLTE button ontop. Have fun with your future F2, it's a great purchase .
