Hey guys
i live in switzerland and now i got my hands on a pixel 5. Now I had to find out that Google is doing something stupid and certifies mobile operators for 5G.
Swisscom apparently has no certification, but 5G runs and works flawlessly with the Mi 10 Pro.
Is there any way to turn off this junk so that 5G simply works with every provider?
Thanks for your help
Are you using DualSim? I've read somewhere that in this case 5G is off

No im not using dualsim. Even on Network search no 5g network is found ?
It's Google's fault, indeed, I can't use 5G in Romania either. I'm waiting for a while, maybe they'll just allow us, from the countries where they don't sell official their phone, to use the full capabilities.
If they don't I'll just root and I'll do it myself, but I think Google will eventually unlock the 5G connectivity, it's hurting their "official" customers by not being able to roam on 5G or use their phone with a local sim when needed.

I am having the same problem in HK. Won't use 5G. If the Pixel 5 is rooted, doe it mean it will be able to use 5G?

It's a similar problem on OnePlus 8, I think. We need to edit a file, carrier policy, and the phone will then allow 5G connections. The problem here is that on OnePlus you can retrieve the file from the phone without root, with a Qualcomm software, and then put it back, edited, with the same software. On Pixel that program isn't working so I assume the only way to access and edit that file is by rooting.
I don't want to root yet, I'm waiting a while. First of all to find out an official answer about the software shipped with the phones in Europe, a presumably KDDI Japan version and second, to see if Google doesn't fix the problem, since there are way too many people affected.
I'm from mainland China. I've ordered a Pixel 5 and just realized that it doesn't support 5g in my country! What a shame Google permit 5g for only specific carriers and block out others, while the hardware of P5 is 100% capable for supporting almost every carriers around the world!
Wondering if Google can see this post and fix that problem via ota.
emmm

Thx. Maybe I'll post there.
Same problem here in the MENA region. Same with oneplus 8 series and Nord. I have a 5G sim and carrier but with these phones including Pixel 5 it's blocked. I don't want to root. It's really stupid even VoLTE is blocked here. (Kuwait)

I think you're %100 correct on this.
Any news after the update? I returned my Pixel for the gap issue but I am interested to see if there are any changes regarding the 5G locked issue...
Got the November update and no 5G yet
I just switched over to esim today with tmobile unrooted, stock, and November patch. It shows 5g in the status bar.
BUT, under wifi and network in settings , there is no 5g where *lte 3g 2g* are.
I guess the above poster is right

Edit. I live on the east coast of PA usa and earlier this was the case.. I just checked again, I have 5g as an option. FYI anyway.
Here Italy, i ordered it from Gemran store hoping to have compatibility with vodafone since vodafone DE has already certification to work with 5G network but still nothing, i tried to flash the RD1A.201105.003.C1, Nov 2020 that is global but no working 5g connection.
I hope in a future update because my sim in OnePlus nord work well in 5g and i get about 400Mb speed that is amazing in italy, with 4g i get 130Mb.
Contacted vodafone support and they said it's a phone problem so I think maybe with december update Google wil resolve (ps in software i have the option to select 5g preferred network but never get attached to 5G where the OnePlus Nord get 5G)
I added root to my device, how can I enable 5g now.. I actually added root just to test 5g
December update still no 5g.
Google recently updated its support page about 5G network compatibility to explicitly state that 5G will work only on carriers that Google enabled it.
At this time, unlisted countries have no selected 5G carrier networks that work with Pixel phones.

The company OnePlus should finally take care of the full support of VoLTE and WiFiCall at the three major German providers (Telekom, Vodafone, o2). So far even the flagships do not support any of these technologies, although on the hardware side all prerequisites exist and the technology is also advertised in Germany in the hardware specifications.
Explanation
OnePlus has developed the OnePlus 6, a very competitive product that does not support the simplest communication technologies, at least in Germany.
These would be VoLTE and WiFiCall. In India, these technologies are supported. In Germany, with identical hardware, but not. This is due to the reluctance of Oneplus to implement the techniques correctly and completely.
Important are the mentioned technologies for users with little to no reception in the 2G and / or 3G network. Telephone calls could be transmitted over the LTE network, or WLAN. However, this is not possible because of OnePlus itself.
Inquiries concerning this problem are answered via ChatBot, with the immediate answer that there is no agreement with e.g. the telecom would exist.

It does not work. Over 500 supporters who tested and reported it is not working. As the text says: the technical infrastructure is there, but does not work.
Dont working for me with Telekom.
Even if both, the device and the carrier, support VoLTE or VoWIFI, it doesn't necessarily work. Usually a carrier firmware is needed. Some carriers offer VoLTE only to phones sold by them. For example, I'm in UK and on EE. Beside my OnePlus 6 I have an unlocked Galaxy S8. In order to have VoLTE on my S8 I had to flash an EE branded firmware.
All in all, this petition should include those carriers too and not just OnePlus.

Its not like that anymore. Xiaomi is not even sold officially by Telekom, o2 or Vodafone in Germany and still they have these features.
Oneplus just needs to implement it, but they don't.
Edit: 553 signatures and counting...this is a serious problem.

maybe everyone should check these paths with a (root) file explorer:
data/vendor/radio/modem_config/mcfg_sw/
firmware/image/modem_pr
read file "mbn_sw.txt" it's a kind of listing for the deeper paths.
in my opinion you could check if your COUNTRY/CARRIER combo is the lucky one....just check the china path... VOLTE voila!
.../generic/eu.. does have data for "ee" "elisa" "telefoni" "h3g" "telia"....but not for every country...
could anyone in here confirm that O2 / UK give your OP6 VOLTE super powers? anyone from great britain here....

Just checked on mine (German). In this file there are these paths yes, but in my version there is "china" alsways the "volte" term in the path.
With all eu carriers there is no term "volte" in the path... might not play a role, but at least it's a difference in the wording....

I've managed to get vowifi and volte working with the VoEnabler module for magisk. Everything works surprisingly, but for some reason my phone won't recognise incoming phone numbers properly when on these services, resulting in unknown/private number.
I have a feeling its something to do with the radio modem files that you've linked, but no luck so far. If I manage to get it working I'll follow up.
It's annoying as Huawei and xiaomi phones have over 100 entries in their mbn_sw.txt file, whereas oneplus has only a dozen or so... Ive come to the conclusion that, in the UK anyway, the phone manufacture has more to do with this than the carrier..
Sorry for the formatting, at work on mobile
Hi guys,
I received an offer to order a Chinese Oneplus 8 and 8 pro however I am wondering if I can use the 5G here in the UAE.
Our networks support 5G, however, I need to know if the Chinese version OnePlus 8 5G will work.
Is there any bands like LTE that we can check. Or the 5G in Chinese version will only work in Mainland of China?
Thanks guys
hi dear, if you are referring to the ones sold on noon by callmate, they are definitely rebranded chinese variants, and you can check the 5g bands from oneplus spec sheets
https://www.oneplus.com/cn/8/specs?from=8
https://www.oneplus.com/ae/8/specs?from=8
i see that on https://halberdbastion.com/intelligence/countries-nations/united-arab-emirates both of your du and etisalat should work on 5g at n78, and looking at the above spec sheets, n78 is supported on both ae and cn models, so i guess yes it should work.
I might be wrong, so take it with a grain of salt

WOW! You got what I am thinking. Yes, I am planning to order from Callmate. However I am think if I should buy it this early. Oneplus 8 and pro is now flooded with screen issues in Oneplus forum. What do you think? I am thinking of buying OP 8, Mi note 10 pro or Realme x2 pro. Mi 10 price is crazy high here also so it is not on the option. Last option for me is iphone SE 2020.
Thanks

I've got a Chinese variant imported to the UK works fine here, no problems at all, as long as it has the bands used in your country it should be fine

OK, thanks.
Not to start a new thread, so trying to post the question here.
I got a Chinese Oneplus 8 Pro from an online sight who have stated that they've flashed it with the Global Oxygen ROM.
Thing is, while the sites state the 5G Bands that the phone supports, 5G does not want to work out of the box in my country (Saudi Arabia) even though my Huawei P40 Pro used to show 5G at home.
I've read somewhere that someone has purchased a similar phone and has managed to connect his phone to laptop and do a couple of things and get 5G to work.
Could anyone possibly point me in that direction? I have honestly searched for a few days but yet to find a way of activating 5G here.
Cheers in advance.

Hey thanks for your work on it. I've found that QPST up to 2.7.480 does not support the 8 (No Phone, but device manager sees it properly. I've also tested QPST with my OP6 and it's fine). Which version of QPST did you use?

in carrier_policy.xml you can change policy to enable 5G, modify 4G CA Combinations and enable/disable single band support certain PLMN.
Amazing, I can confirm that 2.7.460 works, but 480 does not. That said, can modifying carrier_policy.xml result in enabling bands that NV has locked? I assumed that adding bands required modifying the nv section?
Edit: Enabled additional bands via lte_bands section, but it didn't work (downgraded to 3G instead, no LTE bands shows up)

hi, i bought oneplus 8t china version, my carrier in malaysia which is DIGI support band 3 and 7 (from a quick google search). currently i dont have 4g+ or LTE-A. Can i use this method to unlock 4g+? i dont really know how to read the spec sheet regarding LTE bands.
Hello there,
The first users began to receive their devices by pre-order. In several regions, it was found that the device is being sold without esim and 5G support. For example, in Africa and the CIS countries. After numerous complaints from users, Samsung promised to unblock esim in two weeks, but according to them, 5G modem is physically not there. This directly contradicts what was said at the conference about a single model for all. The device model (SM-F916B) and firmware are exactly the same as those sold in the UK or Germany.
In the modem firmware code in the region settings, the line is simply removed:
[FIRMWARE.ZIP]\[CSC_FILE]\optics_\configs\carriers\single\[REGION_CODE]
Code:
<CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOpBranding5GIcon>5GAvailable</CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOpBranding5GIcon>
Could someone with a working 5G show their build.prop file? I suppose 5G is also programmatically blocked, but I need proof.
build.prop
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ADB>adb shell
f2q:/ $ getprop

I was told so on the Samsung hotline. For example, the Italian version has a similar problem with esim.
Are you saying that the version sold in the UK does NOT have the 5G modem? How can they be selling me a Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G if it doesn't have 5G?
If this is the case then, seeing as they have already pushed my delivery back I am going to cancel my order and carry on not using Samsung phones.
I am not with EE in the UK but their pre-order information for the Fold 2 states "Pre-order the 5G-enabled Galaxy Fold2" so surely it must have the modem or they will have a lot of angry customers.
Just checked Carphone Warehouse here and they have it listed as being 5G.
Maybe I misunderstood or the information isn't accurate?

All Snapdragon 865 (or plus) are built in with 5G modem, that is one of the reason for higher prices of Flagships this year. So 5G modem is there but in some countries it's disabled via software
Since this phone only comes with Qualcomm processors, Samsung is forced to pay around $80 for a 5G license per device. According to a source close to Samsung, they decided to save money in some countries.
Got my Z Fold 2 5G yesterday (in Netherlands) and there is indeed no esim. The box has 2 IMEI listed, but the phone shows only one. No "sim card manager" inside settings menu either. I called samsung "premier support" this morning and they had no clue. the support rep gave me a complete non-sense reason (i.e. esim is not allowed by the carrier - lol) and I very quickly realized there is no point arguing. I hope they enable it in 2 weeks or mine is going back.
I received a confirmation from Samsung Moderator from Samsung community website.
The phone is compatible with esim.
The problem will be solved via an update.
Update is currently in test and validation phase.
But 2 weeks seems a little bit long for a premium device.
Have you 2 IMEI or one?

Thanks for the good news.
I have 2 IMEI listed on the box - and samsung confirmed that it's a dual phone / esim model. Can you please reference the community thread?
I got mine from Samsung Portugal. 5G is enabled (but we have no 5G network yet) but no esim. I have 2 IMEI listed on the box btw. Indeed the Sim card manager option is not there. I called Samsung and they have no clue why it is not there. They will call me back in 1 hour. I will let you know. This is kind of dishonest from Samsung. Selling a product like this one and not telling users that all functions they paid high price for, are not available right out of the box. I am feeling as bad as when I got my S20 ultra with all the camera defaults. I have 2 weeks to send it back. telling us that it will be available within 2 weeks is kind of weird.
I received my UK model today - 5G is working fine, but no e-sim/sim manager etc. Fingers crossed they get it sorted soon - the official launch is tomorrow, you'd think the carriers would be pushing them to resolve it for then!
What does it mean if you only have one imei number?

E D I T :
I have two imeis on the phone box/case but only one in "About phone"
Waiting on eSiM solution too - agree not cool to advertise and sell with a major feature missing - phone is great - just need 2 sims if I want to use it as my daily driver ...

As you may, or you may not know, OnePlus didn't add proper changes into EFS configs to allow us use 5G on every network in the world. Is there any guide to help owners to unlock 5G access and DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing), until Oneplus include the settings to a future update (hope the soonest) ?
No input since Dec 23, 2020. It looks like the issue is not bothering anyone else ......

This is extremely precise and deep knowledge you should have (yes I talk like yoda now) in order to start something. No wonder why there aren't much answers.
(And 5G isn't deployed at all in my country and many others so that's why IDGAD about 5g lol)

Earlier today, with update 11.0.3.3 for Oneplus 8 / 8 Pro, and Nord as well, 5G option has been added and problem solved. Now it's up to service providers to certify devices in order owners can use 5G networks, where available

Dang it! I'm on global, it's not out yet...
Does the update speed up the boot up/down time ? I found that to be pretty annoying on A11 (on my OP8).
Hello,
I bought a V50 LMV500EM the days. Now I have looked at all the root instructions, but nowhere is this version mentioned.
Can I now assume that for the V500EM no root and TWRP is available or is there still something coming ?
If I have overlooked the corresponding thread, please link times.
And another question. The phone should be able to 5G, n78 band, my sim card can 5G, but have not yet 5G on the display, and in the mobile settings is also only GSM/UMTS and LTE to choose from. No 5G
Or does that come only with the update to Android10 ? I have not yet made any updates and therefore still installed Android9.

As far as i know,in order to be able to connect with 5g,your device must be certified from your gsm carrier,even if it is capable.
Better come in contact with your carrier and they will give you directions on how to do it.
For example in my country,even if you get a 5g capable device,you have to send a message to the carrier from your 5g device,and they send you back some kind of carrier settings in order to be able to connect to 5g.
Just give it a try.

Hello,
I don't know if you found your answers : regarding the 5G connection, it's a kind of joke in V50, there's only one band so if isn't the one supported by your carrier don't wait too long for 5G. concerning the root and trwp, I assume that you didn't go deeper on the various threads because you maybe saw this one talking about rooting and bootloader unlocking. As you have the V500EM you don't need the parts of the thread explaining how to unlock the bootloader, just go through the official way with the LG code. And at last, regarding the updates you can install updates by yourself using kdz files and lg up software, currently we are at android 11, to find kdz files and how to use lg up go through this site or this one and look for your model.
Hope these little tips will help you.

Hi,
thanks for your support, but I returned the smartphone and am now waiting for the Xperia 5 iii.
The 5G on the V50 was really a joke and have tested it with 2 different providers, so in 2 different networks. But neither in the one nor in the other network 5G had although n78 is supported. However, the battery life did not convince me either. It may be that the battery was no longer the freshest due to storage.
I knew that the V500EM can be officially unlocked by LG, but that's no use if the TWRP is not adapted for the 500EM. Because the threads I had all through. But in the TWRP threads was only the Korean model the speech.
Well now it's too late. But thanks anyway that you wanted to help me.
