I got the phone yesterday and LTE is so bad. It is unusable to the point there's no internet connection at all.
I noticed its LTE bands kept on changing from 1 and 8. It stays at 8 for a couple of minutes where there is no internet connection.
When it switches to band 1, the connection is back and speeds are normal but the band goes back to 8 after couple of seconds.
I'm aware that Poco X3 NFC also has an LTE issue, will a software update fix this issue? Thanks.
Edit: My previous phone was a Note 8 Pro with the same sim card and same location with no LTE problems.

I inserted the sim card back to my old phone and LTE works fine.
There are different LTE frequencies. Some models may use different frequencies that POCO X3 Pro doesn't use...
And that may be causing issues - not because the phone itself, but because the LTE provider.
Isn't something easy to check, try see around the area if there is any "spots" of issues and contact other people in the same area to see if there are some issues around.
From POCO itself, i don't have any issue with the connection and i use it all day long (may be only my case, but is something)

Okay, I might also try to use a different carrier to verify if it's an operator issue. Thanks for responding.

I'm currently residing in the Philippines and the carrier in question is Globe Telecom. I was also not having issues with LTE on other phones either, only with X3 Pro.

Oh I see... That might explain things since I'm located in the US. I believe your LTE experience/performance is tied to the carrier you use and if the bands on the device are compatible w/ their service.
Just an update, a temporary fix I did is I disabled all LTE bands except for band 1 and seems to be working as it should it be.

I took mine today and realized the same problem. It also had a Redmi Note 8 Pro that worked normal. Even with VoLTE that I couldn't get on the Poco X3 Pro. How did you change the bands? Obs. I'm from Brazil.
I experienced the same thing in Hungary. I use 2 pieces of sim, the data sim if it is in slot 2 does not use the band that is optimal for us. It see, but you won’t be willing to join it if you have better signal strength. Placing the card in the Sim1 slot goes flawlessly. Try sim1-sim2 swap. -Sorry for my English-

Connect to b3 band only, it seems that b20 has a much better field strength.
I tried to flash another modem firmware anyway, it didn't work.
In europe I have 3CC B3+B1+B7 on Poco X3 Pro or any other devices also works B20.
Poco X3 Pro with X24 Give me record for this cell tower.
Signal is great very similar to Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 with uses Balong 5000.

Hi sorry for the late reply, the issue went back after a week I locked the bands. I ended up installing a custom ROM (crDroid) and it fixed it. Receiving messages are now instantaneous and LTE is working flawlessly.
My POCO X3 pro is back from repair, network issues. All they did was update the software. Today I bought a second sim card, in my country it needs to be registered for someone to work. Such a starter.
Since the second card was inserted, the network problems have completely disappeared. I emphasize that the second card still does not work, it is inserted and only has a range bar. I am waiting for confirmation of registration of this SIM card

Anyone who already received their OP6 can me tell if they can connect to all the LTE bands including the new LTE band 71. Also how is the reception on the phone
I'll be getting mine tomorrow. So should be able to post up results then. But, the specs on the phone state band 71 is supported. It's just a matter of if 71 is in your area....
No band 71 in my area or I'd test that for you. Otherwise it is working perfectly on T-Mobile for me
I can't confirm what bands it was using, but I was able to get 120Mb/s via a LTE speedtest. I also confirmed VoLTE and WiFi calling work without issue.

I am on TMobile US and have been using WiFi calling and HD VoLTE. I haven't seen band 71 yet, but I don't know if it's in my area. Another app that works to check bands is LTE Discovery - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery
I would also like to know if there is anything extra you have to do to turn on Wi-Fi calling.

Since I don't see the OnePlus 6 in the T-Mobile store, I'm assuming there is no T-Mobile-specific hardware/software version (as is typical with Samsung)?
Please confirm that OnePlus 6 could be bought from OnePlus store, and by following the above steps, all T-mobile features would be available? (Wi-Fi Calling, VoLTE, Tethering)

I bought my op6 from OnePlus store. I'm on T-Mobile in North Carolina and I enabled Volte & WiFi Calling via those steps. I see the tethering/mobile hotspot setting as well but I've not tested it.
Yes this phone connects to all of T-Mobiles towers it has even more bands then the T-Mobile s9+ that's why I got ride of that phone and got this one.

hi guys & gals,
currently using poco f1 and tempted to upgrade but was wondering from any vodafone uk users, which would you recommend? My sim is 5G enabled but currently using 4G. I know Band 20 (800) is missing from the K30 pro but have any users had any issues with 4G reception? I found a price of £370 for the K30 pro (8/128) or the pro zoom at £422. tbh i dont really use the camera much so missing OIS is not that important.
I would check what 5g band Vodafone uses. Specially if you want to use 5g. You may have problems with 4g cause Vodafone uses bands are missing from the k30 pro.
I think if you would have a different provider, probably wouldn't even notice the missing bands but Vodafone is the most affected on this.
On the poco however only supports 2 5g bands. I would do my research before purchasing if I was you. GL

Get the Poco f2 pro instead of k30 pro, it has band 20
It's basically the same phone, except network bands. Got mine from AliExpress for 420 but now it's about 380£. It works fine with EE
According to this site https://kenstechtips.com/index.php/uk-network-frequency-bands Vodafone uses N78 which the Poco f2 pro has.

K30 Pro Zoom is better with OIS and same price than POCO F2. I dont have problems using it without band 20 in Spain, I have very good 4g signal and I use same bands than vodafone UK (B1, B3, B7). Also If you have 5g enabled I would prefer K30 Pro because it have more 5g bands than POCO F2 and, if im not wrong, next year companies will add band 1 (n1) support to 5g and only chinese K30 Pro have it:

I have Poco F2 Pro on Vodafone (Voxi) in the UK, no problem with 4G - same reception as my pixel 3a. I don't have a 5G plan though so can't comment on that.
so been playing around with network signal info for the past few days, even though 4g band 1 was being used (80%), it would still fallback to band 20. as i also travel to thailand quite regularly, 5g band n41 would have been useful so looks like the f2 seems to be the one. the zoom would have been nicer tho
took the plunge and got the poco 8gb for £325.99, just waiting on dhl

Anyone able to get this device activated on Verizon?
I am currently on the 6T and activated via Verizon, with CDMA less features fine. However, when I try to activate this phone online, I am unable to. I called Verizon to see if they have any ideas, and they said the phone isn't supported on the Verizon network, even though I know it does. I even asked them to do a CDMA less provision with no solutions.
My 8T and my wife's 8T are working just fine on Verizon. We came from the pixel 3. Required me calling them and doing the CDMA-less provision.
No native Wi-Fi calling or native video calling (which is fine, never used it anyway, always signal).
I don't live in an area with 5G, so can't speak on that.
I'm bumping this thread....
I have tired numerous times to activate this on Verizon. I am coming from the OnePlus 6T, and it works flawlessly for the last 2 years. At first I tried to activate online, and then tired call to activate.... None of the representative can activate it for some reason.
One rep said that as long as it's activated, then I can just put in the Verizon Sim and it should work.... but mine doesn't....
Do you guys think it's the SIM? I am hearing that there's a normal 4gLTE sim vs the 5G sim.... But when I popped the SIM back into the 6T, it works again....

Why do you need to activate it? Just put the sim from your 6T in and it should work fine. I had a 6T, then a 7T and now the 8T. No issues at all.
Put the sim in and reset the network settings. I used a five+ year old sim out of a Pixel XL and Moto phone before that. I messed with it a bunch to get low band 5G working and ended messing something up and having no service. Net reset in the phone fixed it. I didn't have to call in for CDMA-less. sms worked without it. It doesn't seem to use 5G even though it supports band 66 (which is my connection where I'm at), I enabled 5G manually and VZW turned on NSA band 66 recently. Typical VZW. Supposedly there is a 5G sim. I don't have one.
I'm getting 5g on visible, same speed as 4g

Yes you will need a 5G sim and call them to do the CDMA-less if not getting text. The first tech support guy could not do it (CDMA less). He had to transfer to level 2 tech (CDMA less). For the sim card, i bought a Note 20 ultra 5g and they require it. So just do it and see how it goes.

Looks like a regular visible sim card to me.
Nationwide 5G uses band n2 on the old band 2 cdma frequency. If you have signal you should have service if everything is correct. Our 8t is only connecting on band 66 using 4g.
Looks like Verizon is issuing Gemalto Virtual 4G 5G Interim SIM cards with 5G phones. I'm going to try to get one and test with the 8T.

How would I get this and/or ask for it. I already have a 5g sim card. Not sure if it's the one you stated.
It probably is the same one. So Verizon, OnePlus 8T, 5G plan and 5G sim? Do you get 5G service indicator? In the network settings is there an option for 5G or NR?
How do I know if I have a 5g sim? I just activated yesterday and got a new sim from Verizon.

There is no 5g sim. 5g won't work on Verizon. The phone is not supported for 5g on Verizon. But 4g/LTE works fine.
There is a 5g sim. Verizon support says there's one. An iPhone 12 we ordered on our account had one listed with the order. Yes the phone isn't officially supported but it doesn't mean it won't work for sure.

The missing bands are not due to the software but to the hardware (modem).
The Xiaomi eu roms remove 5GHz(wifi) region restrictions not 5G.
For phones for the global market with their equivalent in China, if you flash the global rom on the Chinese version the missing bands will still be missing and if you do the opposite you will have the same bands as on the global version.
Update, Well I got excited today for about 5 minutes. I tried a PureTalk sim in my 12S and bang it showed a 5G connection. PureTalk in the USA is a MVNO for ATT. ATT shows 3 5G bands that are supported on the 12S.
Unfortunately I ran a few speed tests and was only getting about 50-60mbs download speed ugh... Worse speeds then I was getting with T-Mobile LTE...

PureTalk use N5 (850MHz), N77 (3.7GHz),N260 (39GHz) but you were surely on a N5 which emit far enough unlike the others.

So being on N5 does that explain the slower speeds ? Is there anyway to tell which band I am connected to?

The N5 is far-reaching but does not offer higher throughput than 4g or 4g+.
You will find on the play store (I don't remember the name).
In France the B700 5g +/- 60mbs, 4g +/- 120mbs ,5G 3500 +/- 300mbs****
****Provided you are less than 1km from the antenna.
Note that MVNO often provide the least.
5G 3,5 GHz
So for another test I took out the Puretalk sim and put it in my iPhone 13Pro, and what do you know triple the DL speed on 5G then on the 12s. So I would assume that the iPhone supports more 5g frequencies then the 12s?

Thanks that's what I thought. Oh well so much for "true" 5g support in the USA... Kind of bummed about this. I finally unlocked my 12s installed the .eu rom which at least for me transforms the phone into something quite usable now. i.e Android Auto, much better integration with google services...

only LTE in USA on google fi (which uses t-mobile) but download speed seems twice as fast as i was getting on the mi 11 ultra, i usually get about 600/50 on devices with 5G in my area. I really don't have a need for that much speed on my phones.
Hi everyone!
I'm considering buying a Xiaomi 13 while I'm still in China and flashing the Xiaomi eu ROM. The CN version is much cheaper than the global one. I'm a T-Mobile customer and wondering if anyone has used a CN Xiaomi 13 in the US before? I've heard that sometimes the CN version Xiaomi phone may have issues to fully use 5g or 4g network in the US. Please share your experience here, and thank you for your time!

It's about the Global version not CN.
Click on edit remove content and write DELETED.

yeah, i am trying to delet it but in "edit" section there is no delete otion...
I came across something interesting. This website actually compares the band coverage difference between the CN and the global version. It seems the CN ones normally get lower coverage, but I still have no idea how bad it could be since I have no idea what type of bands are covering my living area...

Thank you man!
I'm also in the US using Google Fi which uses T-Mobile. I'm also dual SIM with ATT.
I ended up getting the Global version because it had more supported bands even though it was more expensive... Ended up getting the 12/256 for $860 on eBay.

Aloha,
Wonder if you can help? I purchased a 13 pro and having a hard time connecting to T-Mobile service. I have been working with tech support and I'm unable to make and receive phone calls. When I try to make calls the service drops. Im able to use data (internet) but unable to use the basic phone functions. Could you please let me know the apn settings that your using or have any suggestions on how I can get this service to work? I'm in the US.

Here you go.
Mahalo for you quick response. So you default is the epc I would assume. Let me try. Did you do any other tweeking to the apns? My other question would be is the sim with the att getting the service and not the T-Mobile? Have you tried with just the T-Mobile sim?
Did you ever get this squared away ? I am looking to buy the 13 pro within the next day or 2

The CN versions should function, though you'll likely experience signal outages due to only having a few of the frequencies. If you're looking to use the 13 in the USA, then the global version is what you'll be better off with.
I have a CN version phone and MintMobile (reseller of T-Mobile) SIM. It works fine. Plug & play. No special setting needed.
