I'm using the BTU firmware and the second sim is stuck on 2g for data even though my second sim provider doesnt even have any 2g networks connectivity.
I read that thailand firmware lets you use 4g for calls and then 3g for data, but I'm concerned that if its using thailand modem settings for the UK as thailand providers may be using different wavelengths for their networks compared to the UK. Will my phone know that I'm in the UK and use the right modem settings, or will using thailand firmware force it to use thailand modem settings at all times?
I have been trying to get my LTE working on my Samsung S8+ SM-G955FD with Freedom mobile. I have updated the CSC to XAC and GLW from the development forums and the phone will not connect to LTE at all. However flashing it to tmobiles CSC I was able to get LTE as it uses the same band 66. I initially got LTE by selecting the network operator "Home" once I lose connection from LTE to 4G it will not automatically reconnect back to LTE unless I select the network operator again. Any suggestions on fixing this?
Same issue with Reliance JIO (India) using VO LTE. Seems the phone does not support it either (the 6GB Ram Model)
up!
my 3g does work but lte not always!
I found this article around flashing csc, it seems like it's proven to work when they are the same model eg both g950w.

I would like to ask if you rooted your phone and changed the CSC as per instructions given in the Droidview website?
If you did, and the results were not satisfactory, then you would have tripped Knox, but gained little.
I am in the same situation, and am considering rooting the phone to try the method in Droidview.
Thanks.
I got s8+ from freedom and trust me I absolutely hate their reception. On a drive home or from I get interruptions of voice call for 5+min (highway drive) in some areas. Anywhere in US call reception is hit or miss. In Canada isnt always great other. Now for LTE well, it ok if you catch LTE signal. Allot of the times im on 4g. Speed are very slow. If im lucky I get LTE. So i don't know whether its the service or the phone but im not happy. I'll pay of this phone and move back to FIDO or on US network. Freedom is garbage to me. Im all over the city, country and north america - freedom isnt great for me. Fido was excellent but i didnt get any credit on the phones, in US fido rates are very high.
I have honor 6X indian variant.My 4g connection works fine when I am using Reliance Jio carrier sim card.But when i switch to my vodafone simcard i am unable get 4g data speeds.I am able to view vodafone 4g network and connect to it.But when i turn on my mobile data i am only getting 2g or 3g speed.I have talked with customer care , rechecked my vodafone internet settings they all are fine.Vodafone is set as primary sim and 4g is enabled.Even my subscription plan is 4G plan i have checked.Can anyone help me to resolve this.
Update : 11/09/17
Yesterday i got update BLN-L22C675B340 , after installing there was no immediate change. but today since morning i am able to connect to 4g network all right. Don't know if it was due to carrier issue or phone software issue but its has gone away now for good.
Maybe you live in an area where Vodafone have no band of LTE that's compatible with your device
im using idea 4g. i do get 3g speed sometime when there is no 4g signal but at my home i alway have 4g i got good signal at home.

So this makes my conclusion a logical one, Vodafone doesn't provide a 4G band that's supported by your device in the area where you live!

Hide the IMEI info OP.
I use Vodafone 4g in my Honor 6x 3gb variant and its working fine...
From the screenshot you provided, we're you used to set your network manually to Vodafone 3g rather than 4g network?

Does it have 4g network in your area... how about checking the same in other model.
Mine ia china variant but still all Indian sim works fine except jio volte calling but 4G is fine.
Hi, I bought the Samsung S8 US Unlocked version from Bestbuy in US. I recently moved to India and when I tried Airtel or Jio Sim, I dont get the network and not able to place voice calls. However when I goto Network selection am able to see the right network selected (respectively for whick network's sim I used).
Can I use an US Unlocked S8 in India? If so, how to make it work. Am stuck, please help!!
Edit: 4g LTE is working, but not the calls. If I have the sim put in another phone, able to make calls. Not sure whats wrong in S8 with placing the calls when 4G LTE is working??
Just switched from Iphone 7 to P30： good thing is that it shows some signal at my home, where iphone 7 usually shows no signal at all; bad thing is that WIFI calling is gone.
Anyone was able to turn on t-mobile WIFI calling with P30 ?
Thanks
Yes, I did.
How is It possible ?
Two answers. Yes it does supports Volte and WIFI calling with T-Mobile. No it does not support Volte and WIFI calling with T-Mobile USA if the questions are about that telecom. Please remember that T-Mobile is a German brand for Deutsche Telekom and exists in many countries.
