i am just wondering is anyone knows if this model can display LTE or will just show 4G? thank you to anyone with any information it is greatly appreciated

If it shows 4g there is a exposed module that allows you to change it to lte
That's my best advice

Thank you for the advice... I haven't rooted yet.. To be honest still on the fence about it... Again thank you for the information.

No problem, honestly I only rooted so I could use certain apps that I like, I always root my phone's aha that's my problem.

Nothing to fear about root. It gives you greater freedom.
Also there are some themes that might change 3G LTE icons.

Yes... My last phone did show LTE.. it was a tmobile lg g4.. As i am in Russia it uses MTS which is LTE also, might just be something in the software is what i am beginning to think.

You can try Flat Style Bar Indicators. Xposed required.

VoLTE on unlocked version

I have a feeling I know the answer to this, but is there any way to enable VoLTE on the unlocked version, notably on the Rogers network in Canada?
Thanks

Only if you have a 4G sim card and your network provider support this on your tariff

Ok thanks. That would be a yes on all of those (as it worked on my GS7 quite well) so is it just an option in the settings? If so I can't find it..?

Settings-->More-->Mobile network-->VoLTE calls. Enable that. If LTE stays connected when making a call you have VoLTE.

Thanks but that's what I originally feared: there is no VoLTE option anywhere in there..? I had done a search too and nothing pops up.
Rummaging through the internet, I found an article saying the unlocked version (mine) would NOT have VoLTE. No sure how accurate that was.

Are you connected to Wind by any chance? I don't think that network has volte yet. I think Rogers purchased them.

No, I'm on Rogers and I can confirm I had VoLTE before on my Galaxy S7, so it's neither the network or my account the issue.

Very weird. Maybe ask your carrier to check provisioning for your device. What bands does your carrier use for VoLTE?

it should be supported bu carrier it self , not only the phone ! check with them !

Well after some investigating, I have an answer: Rogers only support VoLTE on Apple, LG and Samsung devices...
This is really unfortunate but it's one last thing missing from the Honor 8 to make it my daily driver. It's an excellent device and I was very impressed for the price tag, but not having wireless charging, VoLTE and 4k video made me realize how much I actually use it.
Thanks for the help guys!

WIFI hotspot no internet (verizon)

Anyone else having this issue ?? It connects fine but no internet at all. I have a Chinese device with Global rom

I had the same thing with my carrier in Japan. I no longer run stock so I don't have a solution for you. Sorry.

So what do you run?

Gsi pixel dust

Anyone having this issue ? I'm wondering if it has to do with the global ROM?

Ok phone Verizon and they were able to fix it. Apparently all they had to do is turn the feature off and back on

I'm also having this problem, I'm going to try to call Verizon like suggested above to see if that fixes it. I'll let y'all know how it goes

What did you say to Verizon when you called? I just spoke with them and they turned off the hotspot feature, then re-synced the network settings and it's still doing the "Connected, no internet". Did you have them change anything else or change any other settings on the phone?

Does anyone have any more information on this issue? I just went in to a Verizon store and watched them disable the feature, rebooted my phone, and still have the same "Connected, no internet" issue. I know the hotspot on my account works since I can put my SIM in my LG V30 and use it fine. Any other suggestions?? It's not a huge deal but I would really like to get the hotspot working

Possibility of 5G for US being enabled?

I recall on other phones, notably the Nexus 4, that LTE could be enabled via a modded Kernel or Radio IMG(can't recall). What are the chances that this mod would be possible on the Nord as well? Has anyone already looked into it?

I've done zero modding to my device and have consistently gotten 5G on Google Fi in the US.

No, you likely haven't, it just SAYS 5g on the bar which I suspect is a bug.
If you actually run a network tool, you'll see you are only on Band4. The Nord doesn't have official support for the T-Mobile bands the US uses for 5G. I see the same thing and I'm on Mint which is just re-sold T-Mobile.

Question TMobile (USA) network speed

I don't see 5G icon. But we got LTE+ on TMobile (usa) (VoLTE pre activated)
Download speed is fantastic. Upload is not

has anyone tried to unlock more bands?
following something like https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...device-use-your-phone-globally-no-bs.2871269/

It is at the standard of the H.W not the S.W.

The same questions were asked of the 10 ultra. Some said hard, some software but no one posted any success in opening more bands.

Reasonable question man, those replies suck. It has the same modem as the iPhone 13, it's a Snapdragon X65 5G so technically you should be able to. If not in NV, you could in software programming tool of Qualcomm, might have to be the newest software though. If you could identify the modem chip number in a teardown video possibly we could find the product model number and see if it's a hardware limited or base chip limited by firmware.

That makes sense. Back in the day, I had a Zuk Z2 Pro and it worked but haven't had a phone with a snapdragon since.
