Has anyone in the UK got 5G to work?

I'm not sure if I have been near enough to a 5G transmitter to make it work, but in the UK, I have never seen anything over 4G (and yes, I have 5G enabled and a 5G SIM from vodafone).
Has anyone in the UK with an OP8 actually got 5G working? [I'm not interested in USA or other 5G users - just the UK as that is the phone I bought].

Hi,

What's your OP8 version (IN2010, IN2013, ...)?

IN2013
Why?

Do you use two Sims? Think I read somewhere that 5G only works with one active simcard.

I only have 1 SIM

Why?

Because IN2010 doesn't recognize one or two bands from 5G in Europe (because is Chinese version). But yours is fine, is European I think.
If you go to Settings > Wi-Fi & network > SIM & network > What does it look like there? SS if you can, please. Also, do you have "2G/3G/4G/5G (Automatic)" selected on "Preferred network type"?
Info from Vodafone UK site:
You’ll need a 5G phone and a 5G-ready data plan to connect to the Vodafone 5G network. All SIM cards are 5G-ready, which means you won’t need a special SIM to get the most out of our growing 5G network. You’ll also need to be in an area that has 5G coverage.
If you're using a 5G compatible phone in an area that doesn't have 5G coverage, your phone will automatically swap to the signal that's available. Your 5G phone will then automatically reconnect to the 5G network once you're back in a 5G area.

So you'll need one of these plans: Unlimited Max data plan or one of their Red plans (above 1GB of data).

I do have it on auto as my preferred type and I am with Vodafone on their unlimited Max data plan.
It may be that I have just never been in a 5G area - but I am told by vodafone that there is 5G in Rochdale town centre and I didn't see it.

Idk, try to go to another area just to test it. Anyway, check here if you have 5G coverage where you live: https://www.vodafone.co.uk/network/status-checker. As far as I can see, in Rochdale town there's a very small area where you can have 5G coverage but it seems that is not the center of the town.

Dual Sim 5g

Hi All, I have searched and can't find an answer.
I bought a Poco F2 Pro as it was advertised as dual sim and 5g, now I have a 5g enabled sim I thought great! but I cant use 5g and dual sim at the same time........... not great.
Is this a hardware limitation or software? thanks

well thats rather naughty isnt it!! I always liked Xiaomi on my second phone but this will make me think twice about buying their products now!

In the instruction manual it is also written that with an update they would have added the dualsim with a sim in 5G but have not yet done so after a year. It's a shame, I will never buy a Xiaomi smartphone again!

I have emailed Xiaomi UK and asked them, I don't hold out any hope for an actual response passed the one I have already that says they are waiting to hear back from that department.

I think Xiaomi has abandoned our smartphone ...
The Poco F2 Pro has great potential but is very limited, even the 5G bands are limited compared to new cheap smartphones such as the Poco F3.
Too bad it is not possible to unlock the modem ...

I read it but I didn't get it well enough. 5G is used for only one SIM as far as I understand. I am asking that if SIM 1 is empy, can I use SIM 2 for 5G connection?

I have two sims in the Poco F2 Pro and I am using xiaomi.eu
I use the second sim for data and the second sim gives me 5G among the preferred networks while the first sim does not.
So I think 5G is usable among the preferred networks based on which sim you use for the data.

Sim card issues also 5G not turn it off

How To Guide How to Enable 5g on 6a for Indian carriers (Both Jio and Airtel)

I have successfully latched on to both Jio 5g and Airtel 5g using Network Signal Guru app (rooting required).
Below are the requirements.
1.
Jio sim with true 5g welcome offer and also proper 5g signals at your location (you can use speedtest.net application to know the 5g signals availability).
(OR)
AIRTEL SIM
2. Nsg app.
3. Open NSG and select respective sim and then go to Band Selection. Change the value from AUTOMATIC to NR/LTE
4. Restart
Update 1(9 Jan 2023) - Airtel has still not Whitelisted Pixel devices. So network reset(reset wifi , Bluetooth and network option in settings) is required everytime you restart your device.
Update 2 (15 Jan 2023) - Latest qpr2 beta(9 Jan 2023) build enabled 5g feature. So root is no more required.

Able to latch onto 3500Mhz at different location.

Working fine with Airtel 5g NSA as well.

Hello, I have Pixel 6a Jan updated, rooted with Jio 5G sim enabled 5G offer.
But even after following your instructions, phone refuses to connect to 5G.
@sampathkumar2811
The same sim shows 5G in iPhone 13 Pro Max at same location and speedtest gives 700-900 Mbps which means I am in a strong network area.

When we select NR/LTE, it lists all LTE bands and I select LTE_ALL (NRBand:TBD)
Reboot
Still on LTE.
Basically forcing NR Only mode by dialing *#*#4636#*#* does absolutely nothing.
Indian Pixel 6a model number: GX7AS
Under Sim, my Operator settings version is dated 2022-08-13

4636 menu won't work anything for now.
Selecting NR combo within NSG only works and you have selected properly.

I'm too having same operator version. No issues with that.

Hey, i got operator version updated to 08/12/2022, on QPR2 BETA 2 . As i have pixel 6 unable to connect 5g, but i got option in setting 5G/LTE/3G. So i think if you update 6a to Beta, 5g might work without root.

Mine connects to 5G as I have the 5G Trial offer activated on my number. However, the 5G signal is less than half and speedtest does not go over 64kbps. Like Jio throttling my device via IMEI block or my Pixel 6a is busted with internal antenna problem. So 5G is unusable on my 6a (USA model but model number is same as Indian)
4G reception is absolutely fine.
@sampathkumar2811
My telegram is blocked because I requested too many OTPs. lol

My friend's 6A also has this issue of not connecting to n78 band. His phone connected to only 700mhz and had pathetic speeds.
My sim isnt activated yet and is not working. For Airtel on Pixel 6 it connects to 5G outside home and the maximum speed I got was 200Mbps.

Same here on US Pixel 6a model no. GX7AS which is same model number sold in India.
I hope it's just a beta issue because I purchased this for just 20k from OLX.
I loved Pixel 6a for following 2 reasons:
1. Connects at 2400 Mbps on my home wifi and so I am able to max out of my full gigabit connection. All other expensive phones like iPhone, Samsung reach 500-600 Mbps on Wifi only.
2. USB-C with 3.1 speeds.

Lot of pixel 6 users reported that 5g is working fine. If you are getting 64kbps only then raise a issue with Jio. It must be the problem with them. Certain BTS/band of Jio is having issues because they are in beta. Don't compare with other mobiles and comment here at all.

Who is comparing with other models? I spoke with Jio engineer and according to their system my Pixel 6a should be working fine with latest beta. Unfortunately it isn’t. Only connects to n28 (700Mhz) band with -110dbm signal strength with barely any data speed. Speedtest fails but web pages open excruciating slow.
I am even unable to root the latest beta. The boot.img when patched with latest magisk and flashed using fastboot does nothing.

Question 5g not working on U.S variant s22 ultra

Hi,
I am currently using an u.s.a variant s22 ultra on xaa csc....I own a jio Sim card and jio 5g services are available in my city but my s22 ultra is not getting 5g connection....previously I owned an airplane Sim card and 5g was working on airtel but not on jio Sim card.
I tried unlocking all the bands using *#73# code but 5g is not working for jio sim...
I want to know is there any band lock problem for u.s.a variant that my 5g on jio is not working?

You won't get welcome offer without an Indian device, get the welcome offer by putting your sim in an Indian device for 24-48 hrs. Once you get it then try in this phone.

Are you asking if it worked or telling that this solution has worked for you.

Am asking whether it worked or not

Ok update.
I tried my sim on a mi11t. And i13 mini.
Welcome offer will get activated after confirmation messages come. But doesn't activate yet.
Then i tried an already activated 5g sim in my u1. Jio. 200mbps. So confirmation that it supports jio 5g. Just activation process we need to crack.
So i think i would need a day or 2 with the 5g phone to activate and then wait for the signal on that device. Then swap to this.
For now i don't hv another 5g device. So nothing much i can do . Except wait.
Regards
Santa

I have inserted my jio sim in my nothing phone 1 today trying the same trick to unlock the welcome offer....now lets see after 48 hours what will happen

Just a quick update my 5g has been enabled on my jio sim card by putting it in another 5g compatible device for roughly 24-36 hours....
Now using it in my s22 ultra
