Dear friends, I have Nexus 5 but 4G doesn't works . My service provider supports 4G service at 800MHz and 1800MHz as it shown here http://www.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3?sCountry=Morocco , but my nexus 5 d 821 does not work with 4G, I want to ask that if there is a solution like a roms or others things.
Thanks in advance.
800MHz and 1800MHz are LTE bands 20 and 3 which are supported by your device but those information are for Morocco. Do you have the same information from your carrier?

Do you have a map that could show you the cell towers around you?
Is LTE enabled in your phone settings? (preferred network type)

hey Mate,
i have Got the same problem just like you.
i have a white nexus 5 (D821) 32Gb version.
i can't connect to 4G network,unless i'm near the 4G tower.
sometimes the phone loses signal and switches to ''emergency calls only" mode even when i force switching to 3G by typing *#*#4636#*#*
If anyone you kno how to solve this problem or anyone else here do,could you possibly help me out with this.
i'm from méknes by the way.

hi friend, nice to meet you
i will try to give you a summary of what i reached in the end.
first thing, i discovered that the nexus 5 that i have is not a D821 but it's a D820 means it's the version especially for USA networks, and this mean that 4G of USA networks works on different bands than ours in Morocco, so after finding exactly where the problem, i began looking for a solution and i found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/radio-enable-lte-band-3-nexus-5-d820-t2928561 and after application the lesson, i got the 4G connection on my phone, and it's work very well till now.
this is my story, and i think it's a little different than mine.

i'm glad you answered.
and i'm glad you figured that out and solved your problem.
my case is somewhat different from yours.
before enabling those bands,you never caught 4G signal.
but for me,i do get 4G signal and connect to it,i access internet data, surfe,and make calls,but it's only when i'm near a 4G network tower.
which means the band is already activaed,it's just a deal with the signal strength.
if you can help me,i'd really appreciate that.
i'm really confused wether to flash those drivers or do something about the radio,cuz this problem brings about another problem which is battery drain,
my battery drains faster cuz the phone keeps searching for network.
just to let you know,when i go to bootloader it says Lg nexus 5 D821 (H)

Dude,you won't believe this !!
i just removed the back cover of my nexus 5 and was freaked out to find out it was actually an american model D820
thought the fact that in fastboot mode( bootloader) it says it's a D821 (H)
and guess what ! that (H) confused me and made me doubting it to not be a global (indian) version.
i guess i need to flash Some bands to get my LTE working properly.
thoughtless it's working but only when i'm near a 4G tower !
please help me.
i'd really appreciate that.

hey bro!
how are you doing ?
i hope you are fine[emoji4]
sorry for this long escape ( been so freaking busy with exams and preparation )
i really am confused with this device !
i thought it to be a nexus 5 model D820 because it can't catch 4G properly , then i removed the back cover and found it's A (D820) then went to regulatory information like you said found it's a (D821 )
went to fastboot mode found out it's a (D821 {H} )
i'm freaking confused.
i used an app called ''LTE Discovery'' to identify which bands my phone uses to connect to 4G when it catches it, i found band 3 and 7 !
do i still need to enable any additional bands like 7 or 20 to get 4G working properly ?
waiting to hearing from you soon !
sincerely,
Zackaria.

what concerns us is what there is within the system and not back cover, so depending on the picture attached and what you said, the version D821 should run 4G, because the bands necessary are already exists. did you tried other SIM cards ( maroc telecom, meditel, inwi ) ? what did you get ? the same problem ?

i'm using ''maroc telecom'' thought i tried other Sim cards nothing has changed.
i tried inwi. it works well !
i don't know if i still have to activate any additional bands like band 8 and 20 ?
i talked to the guy that have posted the video in youtube and said that i need to activate band 20 if it isn't activated yet.
then talked to developer ''azlun'' who first succeeded to activate band 3 and 20 and said that if band 3 is already activated , but 4G still doesn't work properly , then i need to activate band 8 and 20 which is impossible due to hardware limitations.
what i really need to know what bands are used to connect to 4G in morocco ?
i already have band 3 and 7 activated.
if i have A D821 what others do i still have to activate ?

as i know in morocco, the telecom companies use 1800 Mhz and 800Mhz for LTE connection, which means bands 3 and 20, so the global version D821 has bands 3&20 already exists,and the two of them and you don't need to enable any bands! take a look here: D821 LTE bands : 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800).
did you do this step ? calling service client of "maroc telecom" on 888 and tell them that the 4G doesn't work on your phone, and the will activate 4G connection for you, although you have a 4G SIM, you have to call service client of maroc telecom on 888 to ask them to activate LTE connection

like i said,
my Sim card has already 4G network.
i already called them.
the problem has to do with my device.
now, you just said Nexus 5 Model D821 has band 3 and 20 enabled.
and i tell you i used an app called LTE discovery to find out which bands my phone uses to connect to 4G i found band 3 and sometimes band 7.
if it's the global version why it doesn't use band 20 ?
maybe i need to enable band 8 or 20.
imma call service client f maroc telecom tomorrow and ask them which bands they rely on.
then, imma be taking the next step.
i will really need your help bro.
and excuse my ignorance.

Has anyone gotten an Exynos S7 to work in the US with any of our carriers?
I'm so desperate for a rooted S7 Edge that I'm ready to change carriers if I have to. :crying:
It probably will work but it won't work well, especially with T-Mobile (no band 12 or VoLTE). Just wait m8
I have been using g930s variant along with g930f kernel + roms in the us tmobile. I live in DC and LTE has been just fine. Maybe i am missing a band but whatever

I'm using the Exynos S7 on cricket and it works flawlessly. Performance is stellar, battery life is incredible and I get great LTE coverage everywhere.

How can you confirm that? I got the Exynos international version, with T-Mobile SIM card. I have AIDA64 but not sure where to look to confirm or deny that the LTE Band 12 is not there.

T-Mobile has to certify and allow the phone to work on band 12 or else it won't be able to make 911 calls. They've verified the US S7 but I don't think they verified the international version.
Hello there,
Well, I can confirm that LTE Discovery App shows the LTE Band 12 working with T-Mobile. I have walked around the building where I work, and it switches back and forth from Band 4 to Band 12.
Hope this helps someone asking if the Samsung Galaxy Exynos International Version SM-G930F works with T-Mobile LTE Band 12 !

it's frustrating that others have said recently that band 12 is NOT supported. what about wifi calling?
Hi there !
I belive that WIFI calling and the reduced Internet speed while on a phone call, are the two things that are different on the Exynos. Tell me how to check and make sure WiFi doea not work and I will try for you. I have tested the second one, and indeed the Internet speed is way reduced when talking on phone. Depending where you are, it is either H+ or 3G.
Hope that helps !

i believe there should be a setting for wifi calling within the "more connection settings". if it's not showing within the settings, then it's not supported.
as for band 12, how reliable is that app you used? a lot of people have mentioned that band 12 is not supported on the exynos model, so i'm really curious how yours has it.
thanks!
OK, there is no WiFi calling setting under there.
As for how reliable the App is, I have no idea, sorry. I searched and found it was mentioned in XDA for checking this kind of settings/capabilities. I will take a screen capture of it once I am in a building and it is showing the band used. My understanding is that LTE Band 12 is particularly good and improves signal inside buildings.

The Internattional version does support band 12. and it works, however for VoLTE you have to find a firmware that has it which is hard. the Czech t-mobile firmware has VoLTE but no WiFi calling
The "F" international version also has Band 17 for AT&T
why do people who DON'T have the phone act like they know what they are talking about.
Works fine on T-Mo, and ATT. you just miss out on some of the bands, and also carrier features like VoLTE.
my 930F works fine on Tmo. and it'll work fine on ATT as well.
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know how to enable carrier aggregation on unlocked Note 20 Ultra (Hong Kong version but should be the same for all other regions)?
Thanks!
Hi,
It's enabled by default, and I doubt you can disable it unless you force it to use only one band (with Activity Launcher, search for a phone activity with the word "hidden"), but even then you won't be able to turn off intra band aggregation.
You can see if your phone connects well to multiple frequencies with an app called NetMonster

Thanks a lot!
The problem is that I imported the Snapdragon version from Hong Kong and it seems (from what I read about imported S20 Ultra) it doesnt have EU specific carrier aggregation so needs to be changed via Qualcomm tools and PC.
So I wanted to know the method for Note 20 too.
We don't know Carrier Aggregation combinations what HK-version support but there is way to list these from modem log. I think HK-version have Qualcomm so SCAT-method is best: https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g...tions-from-your-android-phone/#Scat_(Qualcomm
What region you try use? In Europe i think Carrier Aggregation should work but in US i think it doesn't support any combinations. If you just share QMDL modem log i can list all Carrier Aggregation combinations from your device.

Actually, carrier aggregation worked out of the box, without any fancy setup. Depending on network strength it shows either 2 or 3 bands combined.
So this issue is resolved.

Yes, I live in the UK and HK version works like a dream - except 5G that doesn't work yet...
And, yes, it should not fully work in the US as the bands are different. But in the US you guys have native Snapdragon variant (1 sim though) that should do it.

So I ordered A us note 20 ultra then i read on here that these past couple of North American samsung devices Arent been able to be rooted, I didn’t know this because my last Samsung phone was a s8+ but anyway i returned it and ordered the N980 varient because im a dumbass and i have never been on a android phone without root and i have owned androids for over 8 years. I just Hope the 4g service is not bad, I already sacrificed 5g for it but i need 4g ?:crying:

I also migrated from S8 and the difference is huge.
I was also a heavy root user but stopped rooting phones as use Knox and banking apps heavily and neither works with root. TBH I didn't miss root much, we can do almost everything without rooting nowadays.
Hi Guys. Anybody can explain me why Note 20 ultra Hk version with Snapdragon Dual Sim doesn't work on 5G. I'm on UK on EE network, my brand new Note 20 Ultra just show me on the screen 4G+ speed.

Strange, my 5G works like a dream on Three. TGY with the latest update. No CSC change/reflash.

Hi ALL. Thanks for sending me maps with 5G Coverage in EE UK. Looks like EE maps are different like real coverage maps with 5G range!!!
Anyway,acording that much accurate map I was check 2 places where 5G must working i Northampton UK ,and....still didnot pickup 5G on device screen. All the time is trong 4G+ only...
I got official message from Technician Team EE UK about SM-N9860,and it looks like that device on that moment is not compatible with EE 5G network .Is all good with 4G bands but not with 5G.

Welcome. Which Note 20 ULTRA model do you have? Is it SM-N9860 HK version? And can I ask where you have such a good 5G range?

Thanks! I am among the first people in this forum who got SN-N9860 from Wonda, right after it was announced in HK.
The area I live in has no 5G yet so I had to travel to other places to test. The screenshot I posted was taken in Weybridge, near the high street. Three only has a tiny 5G area in Weybridge so I assume the speed and latency would be much better in London or other areas with better 5G coverage.
Carrier aggregation is not setup on the sm-n9860 to utilize the lte bands that USA use - for t-mobile anyways.
Im not sure if changing to csc bri might help for this. Probably someone from usa can confirm?
Maybe @inningsdefeat500 can confirm or not. I believe he has the same device and on T-Mobile USA.
Hello everyone, so I got the Korean version of S22 Ultra, and I cannot enable 5G here in the UK, but the N78 band is supported by the Korean version S22 Ultra, and all the carriers in the UK are using N78 (I have tried both O2 and Three, and I cannot enable 5G on either of them).
I then saw this post [Philippines]SM-N9860 TGY/BRI/CHC Snapdragon Users|5G Reception Fix, and I've tried to enter the secret code *#0808#, but the phone does not react to it, so I guess something strange is going on. Also, I've tried this method, which is not working, too.
Oh, and I just want to mention that the S21 Ultra I brought in China can enable 5G on Three's network, but not on O2. This is just confusing. Could anyone help me to enable 5G on this model? Thanks.
Have you tried on of those Android apps that check your network speed connection? it might just be that you're getting 5G speed but the icon is not showing due to your CSC.

Hi, thanks for the reply. No, I don't think so, because the download speed is significantly lower (500m vs 10-50m), as well as the latency. Also, "SIM card status" in the setting showed that the "Mobile data network type" is "LTE" instead of "NR NSA" (or SA, but there's no SA in UK as far as I know).
And even 4G (LTE) signal is weaker on the newer S22 Ultra model, does this have something to do with the frequency band as well?

Did you try that method listed in the guide with the Google phone dialer?
Also this might seem dumb but in Mobile Networks, is Network mode set to 5g?

Yes, I've tried both methods for One UI 3.0 and 4.0, and the secret code is just not working. I suspect that Samsung either changed the code or prevented it from running on the Korean model (since I saw one website claimed that those secret codes do work on S22 Ultra). And yes, 5G is enabled in the "Network mode" setting.

Only thing left I think of suggesting is maybe flashing a different CSC (a compatible one) to see if it works.

See Post #2 and #3 for the Links to the Firmware All of the firmware posted here can be flashed on any U or U1 Device. Each of the firmware's are NOT carrier dependent and only has carrier labels listed in order to have an idea if you might get...

Thanks, I will look it up, but I hope/think there will be an easier method out there that are less risky than flashing CSC. Have a great day!

Yeah sorry it's not working out so far. But imo your best bet will be to back up your phone and change csc, though you can change CSC without losing data by not flashing the Home_CSC file I think. Great day! hope you fix it.

I'm in UK and after years away from xda,I've come here as a last resort,my 5g doesn't work also,when selecting network to 5g/4g,I get no signal,1 bar if I'm lucky,calls don't come through,then WiFi calling kicks in,so at the min,my temporary solution is the network is set to 3g/2g,I tried your mentioned code,screenshot shows what I get
Ok folks, here's what I found yesterday. Using the app called "Cellular-z", it appears that both my Korean version S22U and Chinese version S21U support 5G in the UK, sort of.
But they do not support N78 (or there's no N78 coverage/ the wall is too thick in my home etc), the only 5G NR bands they support is N1 (and N3? Although it feels more like an LTE+ band).
When switching on 5G in the control panel, both phones are using the 5G network, however, only the Chinese version phone shows the 5G icon. The Korean version does not. But the speed is significantly faster on both phone when 5G are enabled. It boosts from 50Mbps to 450-500Mbps in my home (But the latency is similar whether 5G is enabled, maybe because it's not using N78 or the wall is too thick).
I suspect the Korean version S22U only think N78 is the ''true 5G''.

Do they run at same speed? I have same issue here in mx, i have the us version (sm-s908u1) that apparently does not support the n78

Yes, they both have a download speed ~450Mbps, and latency ~25ms, which is what you expected from N1. N78 is not supported by both versions (or there is no coverage in my area, which I highly doubt that).
No issues using EE in UK. This pictures are from EH16 Edinburgh UK.
5G reception as good as on other 5G phones, didn't do any tricks or hacks, just works out of the box.

Same issue, I hope someone can solve this.
did someone found a solution to this? same issue with us version U U1. 5G doesn't appear. also tried to flash firmware with bootloader 2 (AVDC) but no luck. Google dialer method wont workanymore on oneui 4.0 i think.
I have this same issue with my s21+ SM-G996N, supposedly supports n78 bands (5G) but is stuck on LTE+ everywhere I go.
What carrier would I have to move to in order for 5g to work? Would it work with EE sims?

On Jio its showing your phone is not compatible with 5G hence asking
My S22+ also shows up incompatible. I unlocked all the bands on it using a guide on XDA and got 28 NSA, 78 NSA-SA bands to work, still shows up incompatible. The indian version of these phones possibly have 28 SA band which is required on Jio since it's only SA.
Edit: Airtel should work since its a NSA network for now.

If you haven't received 5G welcome offer, changing band won't be helpful. Try to get welcome offer with compatible device first, once you have 5G activated, try it on S22 with changing band.
