Hi,
is there a method in which I can shift or force the Xperia 5 II into the 5G mode, since it is alwaxs in 4G although there is 5G within my network (o2 de) available (on phones of my peers and also stated on the network map)?
Best way would be by settings or so without any flash or a file.
Thanks
It's not probably going there for some reason.
You can check Netmonster app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.mroczis.netmonster&hl=en&gl=US
It shows which bands are you currently receiving and it shows presence of 5G NSA.
As far I know, this phone doesn't work in 5G SA mode (at least yet, but I don't think it will happen due all that whitelists that operators have). Because of that you can be in 5G coverage area, but still you won't be able to connect 5G network. Also even if 5G NSA is working, you can't actually force 5G only mode as 5G NSA can't work without LTE network. 5G is also undesirable option as all phone calls are likely using VoLTE, because VoNR is likely not happening with this phone.
In reality it's actually better having 5G off, because battery life is better without it and 5G NSA is only a bit better (mainly for upload, downloads can be actually worse, if your operator uses 5G NSA DSS). Really - 5G is currently mainly marketing scam*, no real benefits from it yet (Unless you want to show off with 5G icon in front of your friends .
*This is actual example of 5G NSA scam by operator. 5G icon is shown, but does it use 5G in reality? No - it's running in 5G NSA mode and see "Odpojeno" with ! in tringle which means that 5G is not used and operator simply block access to it in this area now (And because they uses 5G NSA DSS, I'm not even mad). But yeah, 5G icon is there, so let's show off .

*#*#4636#*#* will give you "Testing' Menu with 'Phone Information' where you can select 'Preferred Network Type'. But don't fiddle with other settings there. Also if 5G is not actually available I don't think selection of preferred mode will have any effect.
I believe NR (New Radio) only will enable 5G where NR/LTE will give you both 5G/LTE.
NR/LTE is set but still not 5G connection... no clue why

These are the bands supported by the oneplus nord according to gsmarena.com
5G bands 1, 3, 7, 28, 78 - Europe
78 - India
Make sure your carrier is using one of these bands. Some regions use different bands, and a phone made for a region might not work well in another.
Also, are you using dual sim? Because if you are, for Europe atleast when in dual sim mode 5G is disabled until a future firmware update patches things up.
Yes I don't see 5g. I have mobile plan with 5g but I don't we 5g. My provider eses N1 network at the moment. I don't understand why.
OnePlus 8t has the same problem.

OnePlus like other phones have enabled 5G only certain networks. I have list in my blog and also instruction how you can modify your phone modem and enable 5G-support: https://mt-tech.fi/en/modify-oneplus-7-pro-5g-8-and-8-pro-nr-lte-a-band-combos/
As per the excellent guide from @olkitu above, I managed to get my OnePlus Nord to connect to 5G on Telstra (Australia) with pre-paid plan.
Additionally, I was able to get VoLTE and VoWiFi working reliably using this YT guide:
Edit: I'm on OxygenOS 10.5.9 (Android 10)
One question. Do I have to do it each and every time after every Software Update or it is permanent?

Before I converted to Global from Stock TMobile i was able to select 5G Standalone. Now my only choice is 2G/3G/4G/5G Automatic.
I have the new SIM card which is supposed to be working for Standalone mode. Is there a way to get this option on my phone without root?
I do show 5G on the status bar on top but every cell mapper or signal app i try does not show 5G connected.
I am Worried I am not really receiving 5G although i have checked the speed and I get between 115 to 250 MBPS so I assume this is not 4G?
OK to I got my own answer and I hope this helps anyone else in the same situation.
Went into the phone information settings *#*#4636#*#* changed the preferred network type to NR/LTE
then I went to preferred network type in the sim card settings and it showed 5G/LTE. As long as you leave it that way it will not change after a re-boot. If you change that setting to 2G/3G/4G/5G again you will not be able to select 5G/LTE again unless you repeat the setting in the phone information.
Now my cell mapper shows I am connected to 5G.
i bet you can fix this using qpst. there are missing/different settings in the files I've seen for global vs Tmobile versions.
i actually edited my original Tmobile files to enable some of the bands that were disabled and to allow 5g on other carriers when traveling.
when connected to stand alone 5g your phone status will look like this -

If you could send me the updated the new file i would like to try them. Thanks so much.
The Pixel 2 I purchased for my father stopped working a few days ago, with the 3G shutdown going on. His carrier is Consumer Cellular which uses AT&T towers exclusively. So from what I understand phones on AT&T's network will be required to have VOLTE. I'm a bit confused as to whether or not this phone is indeed capable of using VOLTE. In the settings menu under network type, the only two options shown, are 3G or LTE, and when I pull up the secret menu via the dialer app, it shows this phone is not provisioned for VOLTE. Can that be changed? See attachment, even AT&T's own documentation states that after the 3G shutdown, the Pixel 2 will continue to work on their network. Currently, with the phone set to LTE mode, internet is working at full 4G speeds, but the phone will not dial out or can receive calls. It fails instantly. Now when the phone is put in 3G mode, both incoming and outgoing calls can be made no problem, but internet is much slower. Predicatably the Consumer Celluar agents are clueless, and since were not account holders with AT&T, they won't talk to me. So at this point, we either find a way to get the Pixel 2 working, or I buy him a new phone. He wants to stay with Consumer Cellular. If anyone has any insight, would be greatly appreciated. SO FRUSTRATING!!
thanks

FWIW, I have the exact same issue with my Galaxy S8 on Consumer Cellular. It's on AT&T's list of supported devices but calls fail immediately when on LTE network. Switching to 3G makes calls work for now, but I know that's only a temporary solution. When I put in the IMEI on Consumer Cellular's website, it even says the phone is supported!
We have been very happy with Consumer Cellular in the past, but our experience with this issue has been really frustrating.
We switched to T-Mobile Prepaid and everything worked as soon as we put in the new SIM: VoLTE, WiFi Calling, etc. Goodbye Consumer Cellular I guess.
I bought this unlocked from Amazon. Using boost mobile infinite
I called boost they said it should be able to be done from the phone
I called Motorola they said call boost

What is your model number? Is this a 5G Plus, or Stylus, or...?
We have device specific sections that you'll probably get more help in, so if we know where this thread needs to go, we can move it for you.

It's regular moto g 5g 2022 that is the model name.
You should have a toggle for 'Allow 5G' that will do what you want. If not, use the dial code *#*#4636#*#* and pick an appropriate config under Phone information -> Set Preferred Network Type that does not start with 'NR'.

Awesome. Where can I find the breakdowns of each network type. Which one is 3g. I think 4g is LTE
On the TMO network 2G is GSM, 3G is WCDMA, LTE is 4G, and NR is 5G. CDMA/EvDo would be for Verizon 2G/3G. TDSCDMA was developed in China so you won't see it deployed in the US.
