volte and 4g icons in status bar

Hello guys,
Now from what i know about this phone it is dual 4G and i have it enabled in developer options.
I also have volte service activated from operators on both sims, but only one sim displays the volte option and 4G icon in status bar. I have tried switching the sims and then volte/4G icon appears only for sim 2.
According to Network cell info software i have 4G/4G+ on both sims and Data Network is lte for both, so in theory both sims have volte and 4G enabled, but it displays only for one operator.
My question here is if anyone has volte/4G icons for both sims in status bar and if you can share a snip as proof.
Thanks.

Only works in Sim 2 for me, see attached screenshot.

At least you have 4G for both. Mine only shows 4G on the active data sim only.
Would appreciate if anyone posts a snip with both 4G/volte for both sims. i have a ticket opened at Huawei and want to give them an example that on how it should display.

I will show you tomorrow with 2 simms from Orange and Digi Romania.
Take in consideration that here Vodafone has VoLTE without showing a VoLTE icon on any phone. On Vodafone I can not switch off the VoLTE because is no slider/option on network menu. They activate VoLTE from their server so if I want to deactivate it I have to call them. You can verify if you are in the same situation as follow:
- keep data mobile on this sim (no WiFi).
- Network 4G
- initiate a phone call
If remains in 4G means you have VoLte activated but no icon (carrier option). If commute in 3G means you don't have VoLte activated
I will change the Vodafone Sim with Digi one to see 2 icons.
LE: Orange Romania + Digi Romania

Hi,
Ok, I can understand the volte icon is carrier dependent on Vodafone, but what about the 4G icon? For me it only shows 4G icon on the sim where I have data active only. Check attached pics.
And yes, I know about the test you mentioned and yes, it stays as 4G during a call. I know I have the option active(since for vowifi I get icons on both Orange and Vodafone) and I checked with Network Cell Info program and it says Voice Network is lte on both sims.

You have to use Tweaker for Huawei.

Apply and restart.
LE You can ask also here: https://forum.softpedia.com/topic/1148606-huawei-mate-30mate-30-pro/

Thx for the tweak tip.
@Sathelp : did you use the tweaker to get the 4G icons on both sims? Or maybe you see both because the phone is 5G model..

No, I hacked to get the VoLTE working (search for my thread) but the 4g is standard, sim one is Sky (O2) and sim 2 is EE (UK) . I have reasonable signal levels.

And with that app what that you get?
Can I make VoLTE calls or enable the VoLTE icon in the Mate 30 Pro's internal menu?

Follow the discution from the beginning. In this case, you can enable the network icon on the second Sim.

To be honest it asks me for root also to enable 4G icon on second sim. No idea why it works for you.

It asks because some functions need that. Not this one. It is better to try it. It is easy to do it.

I found the setting to display the 4G icon on both sims with SetEdit:
isShowNetworkType to be changed to 1

Sure. The same thing, different app. No root needed?

Service Mode problem on my N986B/DS

Hello, Im following a thread on how to choose your 5g bands and improve Lte connection and now i have tried dialing this on my google dialer to choose on 5g bands here on the philippines *#*#276633683782#*#*, as you see no options to choose from. Can someone help me on this please. Im trying to set 5g on my phone because on my red magic 5g i have stable 5g connection and when i insert my sim card on my note 20 5g, i only has 4g+ signal, My note is SM-N986B/DS from KSA. Thank you.
Oh btw i tried uninstall/Disable some packages on ADB by following some guide here and maybe that causes the problem? Thanks you again.

Can any SM-N986U1 owner provide me with their UE Capability Information?

To get it, you need to follow a process here. It's very easy, all you need to do is save a log file and then send it. I just need to use it to confirm the carrier aggregation band combos for this particular Note 20 Ultra 5G device (US unlocked) and this is the only way to know 100% for sure.
I highly appreciate it and will also share the findings here.

Were you able to get it for the SM-N986U1? It's the unlocked version (different from the SM-N986U)

5G on LG V50

Hello,
I have a LG V50 5G - version LM-V500EM, Android 11, SW version V30b-EEA-XX. I guess it's the Korean version - it has on the back the 5G logo and the pins for the second display at the bottom.
Also, I have a 5G subscription on Orange carrier, in Romania.
So I have a few questions about the LG V50 :
1. Should there be a 5G option in the Settings menu -> Internet and network -> Mobile network ? I'm asking this because on different phones, even LG ones, there is a option for 5G. An example is LG Velvet 5G, which has 5G auto option in the Mobile network menu. Or because the phone (LG V50 5G) supports only the 5G NR N78 band, there is no option. In contrast, because the LG Velvet supports multiple 5G bands, it has the 5G option ?
2. How do I know when the phone connects to a 5G mobile network ? Or to any type of mobile network ? I only see the mobile signal strength in the top right corner, but no additional information. On other type of phones, even LG ones, you see 5G, 4G, 3G, VoLTE etc. Is there a way to enable, to be shown like this ? I know I can see the type of connection if I go to settings, but I wanna see it on the main screen.
3. This is related to the 2nd question - When the phone connects to a 5G network, does the logo on the back do something ? Like intermittent flash with red color ? I see that when I receive a notification, the 5G logo flashes in blue color
I attached some pictures, to better understand what I'm saying. Unfortunately, the menu is in Romanian and so are the pictures but you get the point.

Hi, in Poland on my V500N I have like this:

Thanks for the reply, guess there is a SW problem with mine.
Still, I managed to activate the 5G using the secret menu code *#546368#*500# and the following path :
Field Test -> Modem Settings -> RAT Selection and selected from there the option that contains 5G NSA. The only dilemma was that there were 2 options that contained the naming and surprisingly both of them worked for me (I observed no difference between them).
By the way, so you have the 5G logo on the back ? If yes, when it's connected to a 5G network, does it stay lighted in red color ?

I have this logo, but my operator does not support 5G for now.
I am in Orange, but in the Orange sub-brand for young people - NJU and so far there is no 5G for this brand. Besides, I don't care too much.
If the phone connects to 5G - you will have the sign 5G instead of LTE on top bar of screen.
As far as I know, the logo on the back will have some color - red or orange ...

I have the 5G sign in the top right corner but I also wanted to see it in red on the back, as in the launch video. I thought that it's somewhat "fake positive" if it doesn't also light red when the 5G appears on the screen.
Thanks so much for the response and have a nice day !

Question Not able to use 5G in India

Hello,
I got this phone purchased from the USA and am using it in India. There are two prominent 5G providers here. Jio, which does not recognize my device as "True 5G", and Airtel, which says my device supports 5G but needs an update. The official Lenovo community guys have asked me to contact the place of purchase, which I can't.
What are my options? Will I be able to use 5G on this device in India?

Check what band requirements your carrier has for 5G.
Then on phone app dial pad enter
*#*#4636#*#*
Select "Phone information"
In the Phone info screen tap the 3 dots on upper right
Select the "Select Radio Band" and select as needed.
Hope that works. If not check your APN.
