Hi, I have rooted my HTC U12+ (EU version, selled by amazon.de) yesterday and I've observed through network signal guru that my phone is abble to aggregate only 2 bands (3 or 7, or 20 and 3, for example). I've tried to lock bands (for example only 3, only 20 and only 7) and I see cell list (and it aggregates max 2 bands). It's obviously an HTC limitation, because not only it's unable to aggregate 3 carriers, but I can't see all available cells on all bands in the Network signal guru list..but if i lock 2 bands at time (3 and 20, or 20 and 7) it shows available cells on selected bands. What I might do to unlock this limitation? The HTC specs page says that my version supports up to 5CA (1,2Gbit/s max)

Hello,
I have been seeing horrible quality of network service in my area on Ting. I have a white 32GB Nexus 5. I work in a three story building that seems to turn my phone into Digital roaming/CDMA 1xRTT network only going outside I barely get 3G. I have mapped it out and see more service in the area where people on Sprint are getting 4G LTE in the area or WIMAX. I was wondering if anyone on Ting/Sprint has the same issue.
I do see 3G on my commute and downtown Sacramento, California where I should see 4G LTE I am barely getting 3G 2 to 3 bars. Most of my day at work in Folsom, California area is all 1xRTT 2G or Roaming when inside my office, and lower end 3G outside. I have two 3G/WIMAX towers next to my area at work in Folsom and I should be getting some 3G.
I went through the cell network code to enable band 26, and band 41 and changed priorities on the band from 1 to 0 and individually tested each band in my area. band 41 seems to be the best and the others are pretty bad. Band 41 gets me -100 dBm, 99asu, 950ms ping on CDMA 1xRTT.
I now have it back to all priority 1 (Bands: 25/26/41) Band 26 and 41 enabled. I have updated my Profile and PRL multiple times.
I am running 4.4.2 with Xposed Framework version 1.5, with Franco kernel r33. I did see Franco kernel r34 and will probably flash the update ASAP to see if it works any better. I am not using any power save settings for cell network quality. I am also using a Spiegen slim-armor case and tried to see if it was interfering with signal strength, it wasn't.
So my question comes down to has anybody known a fix for getting solid 3G in an area where I should be seeing some LTE and atleast full strength 3G. I am barely seeing 2G most of the time. I am just crossing my finger it isn't an antenna issue with the phone itself.
Any help, tips, or tricks would be greatly appreciated!!!

Go to about phone and check your Baseband version, if your modem driver is older you may want to upgrade it. Or if it is newer, potentially a downgrade has shown better performance as well. All depends.
Read this thread thoroughly and make sure you do a backup before doing anything and see if this helps.

Look for the modem thread (didn't see you post it so if you did, sorry), and try flashing the .15 radio. That seems to be the best. The stock 4.4.2 radio (.21 or .23 can't remember) sucks. I could be halfway between towers and drop to 3g and not get LTE at all. The .15 holds LTE as long as there is really an LTE signal just fine.
i just read that ting uses sprints network. that might be the issue there, as sprint isnt known to have great coverage nor great data speeds.

Sacramento is entirely legacy lucent equipment. Basically **** sucks and won't get better anytime soon till they cluster launch the area. They won't fire up anything (3g / 800 mhz / 4G LTE) until they cluster launch. They can't cluster launch the area until all 200 or so sites are fully upgraded which is a ways off.
B41 is running of old Clearwire sites for now and should be mostly done by around may but you cannot connect to them unless you force LTE only mode and do the PRL update work around (i.e. PRL update every time you reboot the radio) and even then it leaves much to be desired.
So your option is to stick it out on the ****ty legacy network or find another provider that suits your needs. ATT is running 5 mhz on LTE 700 B, Tmobile has a 10x10 FDD-LTE network on AWS that is spotty as **** in around south sac area and drops to Edge when you go indoors which is probably a no go for you.
Probably the best option for you is an ATT MVNO considering your needs are inside a building.
-- Though if you do stick it out Sprint has quite an amazing portfolio in the Sacramento area with full access to eSMR 800 (5x5 mhz FDD-LTE band 26) + eSMR 800 1xAdvance, 20 mhz of PCS A-F + the 10mhz of PCS G (5x5mhz FDD-LTE Band 25) along with 55mhz of BRS (2500) + innumerable EBS (2600). Right now they're running B41 on EARFCN 40978 which is about 2630mhz or smack dab in the EBS block.
Tmobiles is here at 40mhz of AWS and ~30 mhz of PCS + the 700A later this year. They run 10x10 for FDD-LTE Band 4 and DC-HSPA+ on the other 20 mhz of AWS. They run a single PCS 5 mhz WCDMA 3G carrier and the rest of the PCS is GSM. Their 700A Band 12 will be limited to about 3x3mhz FDD-LTE when they deploy later.
ATT has quite a mishmash of spectrum. 12 mhz of 700B Band 17 (5x5 mhz FDD-LTE), 700D block Band 29 which is unpaired and unusable, the Cell 850 A block, 10mhz of AWS good for 5x5 FDD-LTE on Band 4, and 20 mhz of PCS A + D which is split for numerous WCDMA 3G + GSM carriers. So they're probably going to run AWS LTE and aggregate it with their 700B block LTE and then moving onto refarming PCS carriers later. IE -a nightmare.
Take your poison.
I'm not in your area, but Ting has been swell for me in Minnesota. Sprint's coverage map shows NO LTE in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis & St. Paul, though it exists well to the west in rural MN. Imagine my surprise to get it at my home in Hopkins, at least 75 miles away from Sprint's nearest report of coverage. Phone service is unchanged from when I was a Sprint customer.
SomeTing wong
Sent from my Nexus 5
Yes som ting is wong
Firstly it looks like when you got your service you only provided them the ESN number which they can provide you 3G and 1X
however you need a sprint 4G lte sim to actually get LTE along with 3G and 1X ask ting about it.
I notice on my Nexus 6P, it tends to connect to band 12 quite often. At home where I have 3 bars of band 4, -122 dBm, restarting the radio will force the 6P to connect to band 12. I can't replicate this on the Note 5. I actually haven't seen band 12 on my Note 5 before.
Do you have this issue in band 12 areas? The baseband is COKC.

I tend to also check my Note 5's Service Mode now and then. It appears the phone prefers Band 4 over 12, which makes sense because Band 4 has much higher bandwidth than Band 12. There have more been instances lately where I will have Carrier Aggregation showing Band 4 and 12 together. The only time the phone will primarily use Band 12 is if I'm deep in a building and Band 4's signal is too low.
If you use #*2263# in the dialer, you can tweak these settings. You can force Band 12 if you want to for testing.

Hello all,
i have a problem, in my area ther are two LTE 4g bands coverage- lte 3 and lte 40.
My phone always remains connected to lte 3 band because it has slightly good network strength, but i want to connect to lte band 40 because it has very high data speed. in my office it connects to band 40 but at my home it remains connected to band 3, i get 100kbps (band 3)speed instead of 5-7mbps (band 40).
So how can i make to connect my phone to band 40 and not band 3.
I am rooted have supersu, busybox, multirom, nethunter on cm 13.1.2

even i want to lock my phone to band 40 but there no way possible because jio speeds are too low on band 3
Not possible as a phone will always connect to a strongest signal available within your area....in your case (at home) band 40 is not the strongest so it will connect to band 3 instead while in office its the other way around...
Hi friends,
I am from India and I am in a sort of Dilemma right now. I need to buy a new android phone and most probably I will be permanently moving to Canada some time next year. I did some research myself and found that most of the carriers in Canada use LTE bands 4, 7 and 17. So if I buy phone here in India which does not support these bands, it won't work in Canada. There are some new phones here in India which support LTE band 7 but not the other 2 bands. Other LTE bands are different like band 3,5, 8 etc. I also learnt that if a phone supports just one of the three bands, it will not work in areas with coverage using the other two bands.
Request someone to please shed some light and guide me in this regard. The urgency is because I sold my Lumia and switched to my dad's discarded Honor 4c which has a horrible battery standby time despite getting a new battery and an upgrade to Marshmallow. The battery consumption is so bad that its literally useless even with all the battery saving tweaks. It just sits on the desk and looses all the battery in just 15-20 hrs. With very moderate usage it needs a recharge very soon and is not really dependable.
Also, I saw that the best way to buy a phone in Canada is through a carrier as sim free phones are generally expensive and there are not many options in the budget segment like we have in India. I can't really make up my mind and understand what should I do.
Hi, Everyone,
I'm considering Find X2 PRO as my next phone, and it's is time to be 5G-ready after all!
I've tried to seek trough the whole internet including this forum and tech spec., but couldn't really find clear information.
So my question is: Does this phone support mmWave or not?
If no: Is it strictly sub6Ghz on hardware level? Or is it matter of firmware?
If yes: How would phone purchased in EU work in US and vice-versa? Asian phone? Are the frequency ranges any different?
Thanks for your answers.

5G Coverage on OPPO Find X2
OPPO Find X2 Pro supports SA/NA dual mode 5G with global roaming capability in 6 modes and 36 frequencies – effectively enabling global 5G multi-frequency coverage.
In 5G mode, Find X2 devices receive multiple channels of 5G and 4G signals simultaneously in order to establish the fastest and most stable connection. With Find X2 in hand, you’ll never need to worry about receiving any less than blazing fast 5G network speeds.
Experience 5G in full speed thanks to multi-dimensional network speed optimization – Find X2 series adopts 4*4 MIMO and HPUE technology across the full 5G bandwidth.
Antennas Designed for Optimal Reception
OPPO Find X2’s 360-degree surround antenna design intelligently matches the device’s physical position with the best antenna grouping. No more blocked signals – Find X2 delivers ideal reception at all times.
OPPO Find X2 series supports dual-antenna and dual-frequency WiFi so that priority is given to network connection when multiple users are simultaneously using the same WiFi connection, conveniently avoiding network congestion and maintaining optimal connectivity.
4 Find X2 Smart Functions
1. Power consumption optimization: To optimize power consumption, OPPO Find X2 automatically shifts between 4G and 5G networks, according to the smartphone’s temperature, battery, average network speed and application scenarios.
2. DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing): OPPO is the world’s first mobile phone brand to incorporate DSS. By utilizing parts of the 4G network spectrum, users around the world are able to access 5G network at a faster rate and lower cost than other devices.
3. 5G + 5G Wi-Fi: OPPO Find X2 can download two applications at the same time – one using 5G WiFi and the other using 5G network, which theoretically brings the peak download speed up to a whopping 5.9Gbps.
4. NSA/SA Dual Mode: The ability to automatically shift between SA and NSA enables OPPO Find X2 to function at a faster and smoother rate.

Hi! Thanks, but I don't think this answers my initial question. This looks more like marketing copy-paste to me. AFAIK, the ability to work on SA doesn't automatically mean it can handle mmWave.
Announced with considerably less fanfare than the handsets, the Oppo 5G CPE (customer premises equipment) Omni, is a 5G router which gives allows people who have poor internet access, but good 5G coverage, fast Wi-Fi. A domestic hotspot. It also supports low power Bluetooth 4.1 and Zigbee 3.0. Like the handset, it uses a Qualcomm X55 modem supporting mmWave and sub GHz frequencies. This will work in both non-standalone and standalone 5G systems and with enough mmWave bandwidth can deliver 7.5Gbps, with the Wi-Fi running at up to 6 Gbps. There are two sets of antennas to haul in the best possible 5G signal. There are eight sub-6 GHz antennas set up to use the best four to work with 4x4 MIMO and an antenna gain of an impressive 6.7dBi. The mmWave antenna will rotate to get the best signal, ideally with beamforming, assuming the local network infrastructure supports this.
