unlocked on VZW - OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers

Does the unlocked version work on Verizon? Specifically 5G. I've seen some stories say yes and some say no.
I currently have a 6T and want to upgrade.

It works like all 1+ from your 6T onward. So far only 4G. Even though VZW turned on the (Nationwide) NSA low bands n2 n5 n66, the phone doesn't connect to them in 5G mode.I verified that it is currently running on band 66. It will likely never connect to n260 or n261 UW bands as it doesn't physically have the antenna like the custom 1+8 for verizon does.
I turned on the NR via the dialer using *#*#4636#*#* as 5G is not available in the regular network settings. A tech told me there is a specific 5G sim so that's still a possibility. I only swapped the previous sim in from a Pixel XL. If someone gets to that hopefully they'll post up or if I ever get a new one from VZW I'll chime in.

Ulefone Power 3S in Canada - Where is VoLTE option ?

So I was seduced by this phone, I was hesitating between this one and the Xiaomi Redmi plus. The Redmi was a bit too big to fit well in my belt holster. The thing is, I didn't know that much about network requirements. I thought that if I have LTE, I'm all good, but I need 2G or 3G for calls !!!
I'm in Canada. Zero support for 3G, I then tested a few carriers and Rogers/Fido support the same 2G as my phone, so now I can make calls but I don't have LTE tower from Rogers here that is compatible with my phone (Band 7 only), so I'm stuck in 2G for data. I have full LTE speed with Bell, but no phone calls. I'd rather stay with Bell, but I need to activate VoLTE, the option is not there. I'd like to confirm that I can flash my phone with the patch (ref here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/enable-volte-flashable-nougat-phone-t3693152). Or should I wait for Oreo which should get to the phone in May ?

SM-986U, flashed to U1, CSC won't change with sim.

Purchased a Note 20 Ultra SM-986U. It was unlocked by T-Mobile.
I use Cricket, which is an ATT MVNO. It generally will be "AIO" in Samsung CSC list.
I flashed the Note 20 to U1, and no matter what SIM I put in, it stays at TMB/TMB/TMB.
I have tried what I believed was the specific ATT firmware as well, but still, TMB/TMB/TMB, no matter what I do.
I saw someone post about this on reddit in the T-Mobile subreddit, but no answer yet.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get it to change?
Without that, I'm stuck with no 5g, volte, or wifi calling. I'm basically stuck with a Tmobile device...
Hello, you could try *#272* your IMEI #... you can select your CSC.. Be warned .. It could wipe your phone.

Or they just dont recognize your device as being compatible, but it will be fine. Try this. Turn off 5g. While connected ONLY via cellular, place a call. Leave the call connected. Perhaps call a friends phone or some such. Now watch a long you tube video. LTE phones without VOLTE cannot support data and voice at the same time. When you place a voice calls they fall back to 3g for the voice calls and drop the data connection. Of you can stay connected to lte and watch the streaming video while talking on the phone at the same time, VOLTE is working.

Question 5G speeds in the US

In case anyone is wondering, these are the speeds I just got on my Mi Fold 2 in Santa Monica, on T-Mobile

I"ve yet to get any connection on 5G around me since switching to T-mobile last week. not a huge deal since I very very rarely ever need data but it still bothers me a bit. there are 5g bands that Tmobile uses that wont' work with this phone from the charts I've seen and I think thats the problem in the Pittsburgh area
Yep: TMo has a patchwork of frequencies, and in some places it'll be great and in others it'll be literally non existent.
I live in the bay area, I rarely get 5g, but when I do it's crazy fast.
Do any of you have 5g aggregation on in developer mode? Do y'all experience any different with it on vs off?
Also, for TMobile are y'all on epc or fast apn?
In advance setting, do y'all have 5g smart switch on or off? Does that also help?

5G Option Not Shown In Settings

Hi All, I'm using Moto G 5G phone since its launch. But that time 5G was not available in India. Now it has been launched and working in other phones. But don't know why its not working in my phone. In the settings itself it doesn't show the option to select 5G network. Also the phone is out of warranty so can't claim that this phone is not 5G supported. Btw can anyone pls tell me that 5G is working on their Moto G 5G. What shall I do. I don'y see any new update as well. I'm on Android 11. I tried using my sim in other mobile and 5G is working on my sim. So no issues with sim also.
Any suggestions how to get 5G in my phone? Any what to check if there are any hardware issues in the 5G module or if its not there or faulty?

Thanks!
If you have Jio as your carrier, you will likely not ever get 5G to work.
