A71 5G Dual Frequency GNSS - Samsung Galaxy A71 5G Questions & Answers

Can anyone that owns this phone please verify if the A71 5G supports dual frequency gnss? This can be done by downloading GPSTest and looking for L5 or E5a under the CF column. I am working on developing an app that will measure ionosphere TEC values to aid in space physics. I know the Galaxy S20 5G supports it but I was wondering if the "not flagship" and hence lower cost phones would as well. Thank you -

Downloaded GPStest. Under cf column only showed L1.

Weird, I have the A71 5G (T-Mobile version) as well and I'm only seeing L1 / E1 in the CF column. (running the ATH7 firmware if that matters)
Model number SM-A716U.
I'm indoors right now and just tested by a window, but I'll try again later in an open space.

Apparently the firmware does matter.
I just updated to ATH7 firmware and can no longer see the L5/E5a birds.

And it apparently didn't get fixed with the BTJ3 software update either.

ATT A716U variant. L1 and E1 Only.

Redmi Note 7 Pro Gets 2CC (4G+) but dont shows 4G+ or LTE-A icon !

Hi guys i newly bught a Redmi Note 7 Pro and when i check the netmonster app shows and says im taking LTE-A 2CC but in the notification area i see just 4g and cant see 4g+ or LTE-A ? and i get confused
technically when i test my speed in okola speed test program my download speed LTE2600 is 5 MB/S and when its goes Carrier aggregation and goes to 2cc (2600+1800) my download speed goes to 9 MB/S

hello brother we all are had same problem. MI cheating . this phone can CA on inter not intra
NetMonster doesn't show real LTE-A - just guessing from neighbor bands. Only way to verify supported 4G+ combinations is from modem log. I have here instruction: https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g...tions-from-your-android-phone/#Xiaomi_devices
Could you please then send log to https://cacombos.com/contribute so i can add this device to my site? I don't have this device combinations listed yet.
u r lucky that app shows ca, maybe its working
if u get a good speed then no problem with icons.

Well possible show LTE-A but these bands is not correct. If phone show 4G+ and app show LTE-A then maybe correct but if phone doesn't show 4G+ and app shows LTE-A could be incorrect.
You can get good speed with single band too

You are in postpaid plan??
I was using Vodafone and had no problems with 5G reception. I switched to ooredoo recently and I rarely receive 5G signal.
I have been using postpaid for some time. This network has been available since yesterday
When I first bought my F2 Pro i had 5G signal on Ooredoo. However, I was fiddling around with the Ooredoo application, and I clicked the "Activate 5G" option, which then notified me that my device isn't 5G compatible, and I haven't been able to get 5G ever since. I contacted Ooredoo regarding this but they were useless, and now I am stuck on 4G.
Is it possible to disable 5G on this device?
Prefer 4g mode

Hi. How did you get 5G ? I activated 5G XL postpaid pack. But in ooredoo app when I click activate 5G it says device doesn't support 5G.

Hi actually I am asking him the same thing if he is receiving the signal or not. Maybe he is receiving LTE signal often disguised as a 5G in statusbar. Because the operator here said they didn't add Poco F2 in their 5G supported device list.

These are the bands supported by the oneplus nord according to gsmarena.com
5G bands 1, 3, 7, 28, 78 - Europe
78 - India
Make sure your carrier is using one of these bands. Some regions use different bands, and a phone made for a region might not work well in another.
Also, are you using dual sim? Because if you are, for Europe atleast when in dual sim mode 5G is disabled until a future firmware update patches things up.
Yes I don't see 5g. I have mobile plan with 5g but I don't we 5g. My provider eses N1 network at the moment. I don't understand why.
OnePlus 8t has the same problem.

OnePlus like other phones have enabled 5G only certain networks. I have list in my blog and also instruction how you can modify your phone modem and enable 5G-support: https://mt-tech.fi/en/modify-oneplus-7-pro-5g-8-and-8-pro-nr-lte-a-band-combos/
As per the excellent guide from @olkitu above, I managed to get my OnePlus Nord to connect to 5G on Telstra (Australia) with pre-paid plan.
Additionally, I was able to get VoLTE and VoWiFi working reliably using this YT guide:
Edit: I'm on OxygenOS 10.5.9 (Android 10)
One question. Do I have to do it each and every time after every Software Update or it is permanent?

Question S22 Ultra Snapdragon T-Mobile and Unlocked

Please pardon if this seems repetitive as I have not found any answers. I have T-Mobile SM-S908U (T-Mobile) variant pre-ordered from Samsung. Was able to get the phone network unlocked. So I ended up flashing the phone with XAA variant (SM-S908U1)
I have noticed the followings.
Using SM-S908U(TMobile):
Calls seems much clearer
5GUC Icon
Download 230 Mbps Upload 6.45 Mbps
Using SM-S908U1 (XAA Unlocked)
Calls are not clear as Carrier
No 5GUC icon
Download 278 Mbps Upload 14.4 Mbps
CSC is TMB/TMB,TMB/XAU
Would you please share your call quality with the unlocked firmware? Do I need to do anything to get the clear call quality like the carrier version?
Thank you all in advance
Update: One more observation I've noticed:
Using T-Mobile firmware, when calling any other T-Mobile phone, the calls are very clear, high definition.
Using unlocked firmware to T-Mobile number, regular call quality.
Flash 908U1 TMB not XAA
You had better luck than I getting your phone unlocked. TMo is not unlocking mine.

Try using Twitter and directly chat with them, I was able to get the phone unlocked that way instantly . Good luck

Question T Mobile version

I got the unlocked version from the google store to use on Mint (T Mobile mvno). It does not connect to UC which I figured it wouldn't considering only the Verizon variant has mmWave. However, I went to the T Mobile store and tested their 6a variant and it did connect to mmWave UC, speed test over 500mbs. So I'm curious if loading the T Mobile rom on an unlocked phone would support it.
I purchased the unlocked version, and I get 5GUC on TMobile. But I don't think that it is mmwave
Ok, I see T-Mobile also refers to their n41 (2.5GHz) 5G as Ultra Capacity

I have the 6a bought from a T-Mobile store (well, mailed from T-Mobile as they didn't have sage in stock). I see 5GUC in some places in Ann Arbor, but don't see DL speeds over about 150....
Out in the wild, I never see over 150 either. However, in the T-Mobile store, I get UC and over 400. I have a theory they have one of those personal cell things in the store. I'm in the Cleveland area. I turn off 5G for the most part, it keeps the phone cooler and helps with battery life.
I'm betting that the 5G UC symbol is for native T-Mobile, not MVNOs. If you see Mint Mobile in your indicator, it just says "5G".
I believe only Verizon shows "Verizon" even if a MVNO is used. Most carriers show the MVNO name if one is used, and avoid the branded indicators.
You are right. Even though the band is the same, only the T-Mobile sim displays UC. Found a good video explaining the differences.
I have 2 questions related to T-Mobile and Google purchased phone. I am on T-Mobile and have the default build.
1. Is there anything to be gained or loss by flashing the newer T-Mobile B1 build vs default B1 build?
2. Does flashing to T-Mobile B1 build exclude me from the Android 13 Beta program?
