Hey !
So i recently bought my Huawei honor 6 Plus from local store, here in Finland.
Problem is, that i don't seem to get 4G at all, only H+. I have 4G in my data plan, my sim is in the slot as i do get 'H+' all the time.. but why not 4G ? I did get 4G with my previous phone (nexus 5)
and I'm sure there is 4G in this area.
Does the model numbers effect that ? Mine is PE-LT10, should i have another one ? L02 or L11, because someone said those are for Europe ?
One thing is that the phone lacks 'hearing' of the range 800MHz, which seems to be 4G here in countryside... so i cannot do anything about that ?
Edit #1
It really seems to be the case, that it just lacks support of the 800 Mhz and thats why cannot 'find' 4G.. Which really, REALLY sucks.. Every. Single. Other. Model. does support the 800 Mhz..
Well, for those who are going to buy the phone, please reconsider if this becomes an issue for you too.
Thank you, and greetings from Finland.
I have the same model but mine can't connect to Internet at all. I can call I see 3g on the top bar but no mobile Internet. I live in Ireland.

I have the same problem only to Orange Romania. Vodafone Romania 4G is OK. On Orange RO, the Honor 6 Plus phones (i have two phones, PE-UL00 and PE-TL10) were connected only to some of the 4G stations. I am tryed 4G on Moldcell network (Republic of Moldova network). The PE-TL10 phone were connected only to some of the 4G stations, like Orange Romania.
Does anyone know why?
In quite urgent need of help. Got 2 Galaxy S8+ phones here. I am in Australia. Australian Galaxy S8+ Model I have is the G955F, the other model which I think is USA is a G955U1 or UI I think. It was sold on eBay as an Australian model and I don't think it is after doing some research.
I have noticed that when putting the sim card in the Australian model it shows up on the top bar as '4G' for the network and on speedtest I get a down link rate of 94 mbps.
With the American model I use the same sim card which shows up as LTE instead of 4G and when doing a speedtest I get a rate of 20 mbps.
Bit frustrated about this as it seems it is not able to get the full use out of the frequences here in Australia which is affecting signal, calls and network.
As you lot seem very clued up on this can I ask if you know a fix? Software wise or hardware? Without having to replace the actual mobo and phone.
Thanks
I will start off by saying I live in Seattle, the homeland for t-mobile. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing 5g actually being slower than 4g. Not just by feel, but by statistics and facts.
This is the case for me. Now I understand 5G is not global yet, but I think New York has it. I am getting about 21mbps download and 12 upload with 5g. On 4g, I am getting 41mbps down and about 12 up.
My Wifi at home gets 475mbps download, and 25 up. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Thanks.!

I am getting very close speed to the LTE in upstate NY. Not sure if it is really 5G
Here is a screenshot with some of my results between LTE, 5G and WiFi
Here it is sorry

Just got my OnePlus 8 Friday In Peoria just outside Phoenix and most of our cities are 5g tmo ready and getting the same have not had one test where 5g works faster then 4g..
I dont think it has anything to do with T mobile having its headquarters in Washington...
I think it was more John Legre blowing typical marketing smoke and some of us fell for it!
With full bars for me, I get 80+ mbps on 4G LTE and around 110 mbps with 5G. I live in Akron, Ohio. From what I've read, the (600 MHz sub-6) 5G that T-Mobile offers is more about coverage than it is speeds. mmWave is more for speed.

Are you able to post your speeds?
I live in Boise Idaho and just got the OnePlus 8 yesterday. I ran speed tests on my OnePlus and the 5G seems to be anywhere between 30mbps-60mbps faster than my 4g LTE is ?* Don't pay attention to the first test. That was on the outskirts of my town and I only had barely any service, just wanted to test it to see with basically no service how fast it could go.
I work at a Tmobile store so I think I can help a bit but I’m not speaking for the company. So your phone is working fine Tmobile has 3 layers of 5G: Low band , Midband, And High band. Right now the current 5G that is available across the country is low band the speeds are slower but you have much better coverage, with the sprint merger they will next be rolling out the midband which will give you better speeds but not as great of coverage as the low band. Then they will roll out the high band which will be super fast but not very reliable (Verizon uses only high band and the signal can be easily blocked) right now in NYC they have working on all 3 layers at once and eventually that will expand. The benefit of being on the 5G network right now is that it separated from the LTE users so there is a lot less congestion.
I'm in Philadelphia, PA and my 5G seems way slower than any 4G ever was.
Also close, just north of Seattle. I'm on ATT MVNO Consumer Cellular now as their LTE speeds are better than T-Mobile around here.
I tried a Mint Mobile 250MB trial SIM and drove around testing. I was connecting to normal LTE bands (2, 4, 12, 66,.. Couldn't connect to tasty 71) running 5G protocol. I ran through the data quickly but speeds seemed to be on par with T-Mobile LTE. Cell speeds around here have always been pretty congested.
I can't get Consumer Cellular to connect to ATT 5G with ANY combination of settings but that could be maybe OP8 IMEI must be whitelisted with ATT (thought they just did that) or Consumer Cellular doesn't allow 5G even though an old site page says they will.
In the pic the 5G one is the only T-Mobile test I actually ran outside the Google speed test page. Red icon is using single connection (more realistic) and green is multi connection.
For now I guess ATT LTE still faster.
Also what is 5G Smart Switching (or whatever) in settings page?

Sorry, just saw this. Been hella busy working on the house while the government recharges all the birds. ? When I get to an area where I live that has all bars, I'll post the speeds on 5G and 4G for you. My buddy just switched from Sprint to AT&T (iPhone 11 Pro Max) and he hit 186Mbps. Irrelevant but just still BS.
We are just changing the protocol using existing radio bands. Near 200 Mbps is the speed of my Comcast WAN. Outside very large single file downloads what would you need higher for? Not scrapin' just curious.

Having high download/upload speeds are nice especially if you stream games with your phone like I do. Regularly use Xbox Game Preview, GeForce NOW, and Stadia. Although I wish Google weren't such suckas and let you stream over LTE but hey, what can you do?
Here are my speeds taken directly after the 10.5.8 IN55CB update. 4G LTE, 5G, and WiFi.
Tmo speeds are abysmal in Dallas fort worth of anyone is wondering .
I'm talking much slower than lte, seriously around 15 to 27mbps if you're lucky. I only upgraded from the 7t for 5g and it's a joke.
Just FYI tmo says that's normal and to be expected too... ??
No I'm at anywhere from 45 to 70 mbs download and up to 40mbs up even with a vpn I. Seattle
Decent speed down at the Des Moines/Federal Way border. On 5G.
You guys are killing me! I'm an hour east of Atlanta. My LTE reads 16Mpbs and my 5g reads 31Mpbs. So it's definitely faster but waaaay behind you guys.
Great speed on 5 G. TMO added two more bands and it is blazing fast.

This is what I get on 5G with my OnePlus 8 on T-Mobile

But I am faching a great problem of cellular data speed. Its very poor
I want some help
But I get a good Enough of signal during cellular call or WiFi usage.
Pls help me
Brother which sim are you using? Robi and Airtel seems fine. Gp, Teletalk, Banglalink is slow.
Hi, I have unlimited data max on vodafone uk, since the phone upgraded to 11, then 12 the Internet data (4g) only, no 5g yet! Has dropped to a snail like 3 to 5 mbps and hates video over 360p as it buffers no end...
Does anyone else in uk have an issue like this?
Checked network coverage, that's fine... tried various speed test apps, all roughly the same..
Frustrated
Any help appreciated.
