[Q] 4g LTE -> 4g

Is it possible to use a 4g LTE phone on a regular old 4g network? I know that, out of the box, it is not. But, could one, for instance, swap out the firmware for the radio and get it an LTE phone working on a regular 4g network?

[Q] Dual sim phone with 3G + 4G

Do you know a phone that has dual sim and has support for 3G for one sim and 4G for another sim simultaneously ?
Or 4G support for bought sims ?
And it should be available in Europe

4G support on both sim slots

Few questions have been going around in my mind.
1 How is signal quality while using 4G
2 Does Honor 6X support 4G on both sim slots. Heard it is restricted to 2G while using slot one as 4G

1. It's pretty good here in China, BLN-AL10.
2. No, it's restricted by SoC...4G+2G only...

You can use 4G in second slot as well but at a time only one slot will be 4G.
Signal is good on AL10(China variant) even in India so dont think it should be problem for other model as well.

Both sims to access 4G network.

Is there any method to make both the sim cards to access 4g/3g network. Presently sim 1 only has access to 4g and sim 2 only 2g.

Currently, NO.
Among Honor/Huawei phones, only Recently launched mate 10 amd mate 10 pro has dual 4G Volte...rest all models just support only single 4G sim slot at a time.

Inorder to provide better battery efficiency Huawei provides 4G only on one sim at a time in all it's Honor devices except mate 10 and post models because a consumer mostly uses only 4G on a single sim at a time until recently.

Dual SIM 4G+3G or only 4G+2G ?

I'm contemplating a purchase for a Mate 9 with dual SIM capability ( from Kogan Australia). It's advertised with dual SIM. For me, the secondary SIM would only add value if I can use it on 3G, while I keep the main SIM on 4G.
But in some documentation, the secondary SIM only supports 2G. Has anyone successfully used Mate 9 with 4G+3G SIM combination.

For sure....! I also think 4G+4G can work...

If the Australian version is the same as the European version it will support 2G, 3G and 4G on SIM 1 whilst SIM 2 will support 2G and 3G.

3G would be great on SIM 2. The problem I'm trying to solve is that our Australian telco ( Optus ) has severely degraded its own mobile network, to the point where we can't receive voice calls anywhere in our suburb. LTE used to work well, not any more. On the other hand, they improved somewhat on their 3G network. My wife is still in contract with cheap plan. So I could arrange a dual-SIM where SIM 1 is on 4G with another telco, while SIM 2 stays at 3G with the old telco. Things may improve for their network, or the company is going down, we shall see.

4G/3G is how it does it.
Both will support 4G but you'll need to put the switcher setting on your homescreen so you can switch quickly - you can't have both on 4G but both will support it. The other will be able to use 3G.
