My understanding is that your phone must be in the ATT 5G certified list and from what I've seen, for the first part of 2022 only iPhone and Samsung phones will work on 5G... hopefully this phone will receive later an update that will bring 5G for ATT.
If you know different, please share... thanks
well I can tell you after owning it for a year, breaking its extremely fragile screen, and replacing it that no indeed it doesn't work on at&t 5G even though it indeed supports BOTH of their nr bands (5 & 77) because those greedy worthless anti-consumer pieces of crap don't have it whitelisted. so you get 4G and their false advertising """5g"""e (which is literally just lte with a different icon) and that's it. I swear I'm about to go to T-Mobile after being with them for 15 years at this point because of dishonest anticonsumer crap like this, and ESPECIALLY for forcing their branded phones to be un-unlockable. absolute joke.
and no it's not only Samsung and iphone, I'm actually on an unlocked moto one ace that does get real 5g despite only supporting one band (77 I think) and there are a few other motos and other brands that they've graciously allowed to use their 5g. however it's nothing to write home where I live, despite living in the ~25th largest city in the country coverage is hit and miss and speeds are miss and miss, literally no better than lte with all the fun of spottyness and unreliability. i pretty much just turn it off from the *#*#info#*#* menu, making this whole little adventure of mine 100% pointless.
Tested a new boost mobile black sim (att), and it indeed goes on n77. Wifi calling works too.

I've noticed that AT&t has a lot of phones that aren't whitelisted but with the boost Mobile black Sim which is AT&t I get 5G on my OnePlus 8 that's not a white listed device on AT&t for 5G but I did not get 5G on my Motorola edge 2021 but that was before I got really into testing it and I ended up breaking the screen too which seem to be really fragile honestly so it's sitting here and I can't play with it like I do my other phones so I got to get the screen fixed I'm waiting for the screen to ship and then once it gets here and I'll replace it and then I'll play but I'm really interested in playing with the phone now that I realize that it's got the c-bands on the device which is pretty awesome to be honest with my s20 ultra and my OnePlus 8 pro doesn't have c bands available which really sucks but they got mm wave and other things you know what I mean I just wish the Motorola would edge had mm wave available but regardless the fact that it has both bands for c-band available just makes it even more that potent of a phone and I only paid 40 bucks for it it was Google locked and I got the Google lock removed and it was an awesome phone until the screen broke.
I get 5G on mine in certain areas.
Anyone on Red Pocket Mobile with 5G? I'm on their GSM-A (At&t) and I get no kind of 5G. Just LTE all of the time. I don't even have the option in SIM settings to allow it. I assume its my carrier, but I've had 5G on another phone with them in the past so idk what's going on.

Thanks for the reply. I just saw this and gave it a try. For some reason it still doesn't work for me so I think it's a Red Pocket Mobile GSMA issue or maybe with at&t themselves. But at least it was something else to try out, that I didn't know about yet.
I have an unlocked TCL stylus that I use for work. this tcl works on att but it only does it on LTE, ATT has sent me a lot of messages notifying that they were going to update their network and that this model would no longer work on the network and they showed me a list of devices... it's been a while 2 months and now the tcl has 5g, wifi calls and all services. I don't understand !

Sorry if this a repost of any nature I purchased a phone off a guy in cricket the other day who said his s4 was running faster then his s7.
so i got the s7 cheap.
I have the s7 now everything works except these factors:
1. the imei is 15 chrs and the imeisv is 2 chrs
2. i cant get it to go into LTE and the preferred networks are all 2g and 3g.
3. i have tried changing the APN's but to no avail when i type *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer i cant change it from wcdma prefferred to anything of the cdma/gsm/lte auto
the weather is stuck on London aswell.. if that helps any? and only allows update from 2g/3g network
im new to this anby havent messed with odin yet. it is unlocked for the wifi hotspot which cricket doesn't allow. which is odd to me.
tldr:
pretty much my problem is the internet is slow and the data is slow i want to be able to get it to faster speeds
any help would be appreciated

From what I've heard in other threads, I think that you have to call your carrier so they can unlock the phone. Then you will be able to use LTE, but since its the exynos it will show it as 4G, its the same thing.

My bad, I thought it was the exynos. Maybe that will help. https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup...ice-byod/customer/bring-your-own-android.html
Also you need to make sure that your phone has all the bands Cricket uses for LTE in your area. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-G930TZKATMB
With this code you can change bands priority ##3282# but you will need the MLS code.
I'm not much of a help as I'm from Europe and dont really know about carrier phones. Seems like T-Mobile, for example, has unlocked only the bands it uses and not all the bands so you can't go to another carrier easily.
I have the T-Mobile Galaxy S7 and use it on AT&T, so you'll have no problems. Dial *#2263# and hit select all bands then hit apply band configuration. Exit and you should have LTE working. To confirm dial *#0011# and see what LTE band you're connected to.

Not sure. Hopefully.
So I finally ran Speed Test at several locations on mobile and am only getting 2-3 mb download and 1-2 upload. I have never seen a 4G or LTE symbol next to the signal bars either, it's typically either H or H+. I am on the international model MHA-L29 in the USA, and I know that the locations I've tested my phone at have LTE for AT&T. I activated the phone 2-3 days ago. Is there something I need to do in my settings? Is there anything to check?

Sure you have to put the correct apn.

Let us know when you fix it ,good luck.
So my forum searching has led me to this path: Buy a cheap 4G AT&T GoPhone ($30), and call AT&T to update my IMEI with the IMEI of the new phone and tell them to activate LTE. Supposedly that worked on AT&T when the original OnePlus came out in the US and people were having the same issue I am having.
Just another update in case anyone is following:
I was able to get though the idiot AT&T prepaid rep and to a tech support guy last night. He said he is going to have them manually enter my IMEI into "the database" and see if that helps get me LTE. My phone is showing as "unknown device" to them right now, so he said check back in a week-ish and see if it's changed from "unknown" to "Huawei Mate 9", which will indicate that my IMEI is in the database. If so, then I check my speeds again. The tech support guy also confirmed that the idea of buying a $30 prepaid AT&T LTE phone and having them update the IMEI with the one from that phone would do the same thing. Anyway, now we wait a week....

It's just because it's an international phone and not officially available on a US carrier (yet). Still sucks though. Supposedly if I switched to T-Mobile it would get LTE out-of-the-box, which I may do if this doesn't work. Lucky I'm on prepaid so switching shouldn't be an issue if I need to.

I'd pretty much guarantee that I'd have LTE on my service provider as long as the correct bands are supported. So it seems like AT&T needs to vet every device for some reason.

Yeah, they (AT&T) do have a "database" for devices, and some international devices are "unknown" unless they're specifically entered. And not just the general device, Huawei Mate 9, I'm talking about specific IMEIs.

Yup, that sounds pretty bad to me. You're paying them for service. They shouldn't care that it's an AT&T or unlocked device. They get paid either way although it kinda sounds like they want to push you toward buying devices through AT&T by making you jump through hoops to discourage you.

I guarantee you that every provider in the US wants you to buy phones through them. It is still capitalism over here There is definitely more bullsh*t to deal with if you bring your own device and/or do prepaid, including crappier customer service, but the trade-off is that it's cheaper and you can switch providers anytime.
Odd, I have a L29 on ATT and LTE works just fine. Put my SIM in and no problems whatsoever.

Weird. How do you know? Do you see an "LTE" symbol in the bar, or "4G"? When you run Speed Test, what are you're DL and UL speeds? Where in the US are you located? Last question (for now), were you already on AT&T with an LTE-equipped phone prior to the Mate 9, and if so, did you just pop in the SIM (did you verbally give AT&T the IMEI of your Mate 9)?

Hey @DKM119, were you already on T-Mo with a LTE-equipped phone prior to switching to the Mate 9? If so, did you give them the IMEI of your Mate 9, or did you just pop the SIM out of the old phone and into the Mate 9? Just trying to prepare in case I do switch to T-Mo.
International unlocked phones refer to LTE as 4G therefore they show 4G icon. when you see 4G on an international phone it means you have lte. quick clarification

Haven't used speedtest yet - but using LTE Discovery, I'm on Band 5 in Atlanta
I've been using a SIM from an ATT-LTE phone - but I haven't bought a branded phone in years. I just popped the sim in and it configured itself. No APN input needed

Looks like AT&T sim from my Nexus 5X might get me on WiFi calling. Can anyone confirm?
Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk
My setup looks the same (sim previously in a pixel) but I think it's lying to us. My phone still drops to 3G during calls.
I wonder if the IMEI on your AT&T account was changed to a device that supports wifi calling/advanced LTE if they would both work?
The SIM in Essential is the LG Nexus 5X IEMI for sure
I'm showing the same with a sim from an S7 Edge. However, WiFi calling doesn't seem to be working. On my S7 I was able to make WiFi calls with my cellular antenna turned off, I can't do the same with my PH-1.
On Sprint, I needed to get a new SIM as my Nexus 6P SIM didn't work, nor did my U11 but that might be due to other reasons. (It sorta worked, but didn't like it).
Went to a store that had them in stock, threw it in, and Boom! LTE+ and crystal clear phone calls. (The earpiece really is good and loud, almost too loud).
I couldn't care less for WiFi Calling since my WiFi is much worse than Sprint LTE... Surprise surprise.
No service on voice on sprint network
My phone connected fine for four days to voice and data now all I have is data no voice it says voice out of service I can't make or receive calls at all only data I when to the Sprint store today and was there for 2hrs and still no voice only data this phone is 700 bucks and all I have is data smh essential support is no help I been begging for a full refund for 6 days now

My HTC 10 sim wouldn't work either. Sprint locks certain Sims to certain phone groups. Anyone with an unlocked ph1 on Sprint will most likely have to go get a new Sim and will most likely have to factory reset phone after activation to get it all working.

Call local sprint stores or sprint support themselves and get a new Sim. It's not the phone's fault as mine did this when I used the sim from my U11 which did exactly the same thing you're describing.

Did you try a factory reset after the new SIM?
Took a shot at having ATT try provisioning with Essential IMEI instead of LG Nexus 5X. Network not recognizing PH-1 IMEI. It only provisions UMTS, no LTE. No data network. On chat support for hours.
Update:
As reported on forums, AT&T does not yet recognize this phone's IMEI, and when force registering to network, and reading the serial number, it forces UMTS with no data service. Had to pull SIM back in Nexus 5X to reregister and provision LTE with Nexus IMEI. Returned SIM to PH-1 and now have my data back, as well the s#!+ cell signal I had since day 1.
Why do people even bother provisioning with AT&T. Everytime I interact with them, they have managed to make my problem worse.
If you have a properly provisioned LTE sim from a prior phone, just pop it into the essential and do not call ATT.
APN Business.....stuck...return label in hand.
Got my PH1 yesterday and really do like it. Really struggling with APN settings. I have Cellcom (Wisconsin based using Verizon Network), I put in my sim and change network type to global(I’ve tried most of the other options) I can go into Edit Access Point and modify the majority of the info except APN Type...needing to add mms to the “default,dun,supl,mms” or course that is grayed out. Which results in texts going thru but mms photos and group messages sit and spin until erroring out. Any ideas?

No, you definitely can't. Not if your phone isn't working completely on Verizon like mine also. No plus sign, and about half the APN settings are not changeable. I was able to change one setting and got mms working.

I know this is an old post but if you have a Verizon sim, even if not active, you should be able to add a new apn. Then after saving pop your cellcom sim in.

Using 8.1 Official and on Verizon. I notice APN bearer as a double comma after HSPAR. I have seen some parsing software consider a double comma as an end of string null. I wonder if the last two entries are being seen by the phone? HSDPA and HSUPA
So I have a kind of odd question maybe. I just purchased a OnePlus 8t but I don't want to make it my active phone yet so the sim card for it is not activated yet. My question is if I rebrand the phone from TMobile to global before I activate sim will it still be able to connect to TMobile to activate the sim?
The sim is not linked to the phone.
Put the sim in an OG Pixel and you should be able to activate it.
I considered switching to Global Rom, but I read that there were issues with the radio & Tmob.
Might be true might not.

Quite a while ago I was on Global with the Tmob device. I did see lower signal strength and poorer 5G performance so I switched back to stock. That being said, I didn't play with adding stock TMob modems to global. It could be at this point they've got it figured out (and if they do I may switch back) but for now I'm happy with the Tmob ROM.

It's true but also to start from what's said earlier, I thought Metro T-Mobile assigned SIM cards to IMEI numbers? I was with Metro once and went from the unlocked phone I was using to an unlocked OnePlus and it wouldn't function until I called them and gave them the information like IMEI then they tried to charge me for it and I told him I could go over to boost if I wanted to and they did it for free one time LOL nonetheless point being it was phone specific

I have zero issues with the Tmob Rom and excellent performance.
The every other month update cadence is no big deal either.

TMo ROM updates every other month? And I guess you cannot install the 12 beta?
I know this might be a tricky question and I'm probably out of luck here, but I figured to still give it a try.
I currently have the T-Mobile's gm1915 op7 pro using att's network, and I was informed that this particular model will become obsolete once att phrase out its 3G service. Upon checking att's compatibility whitelist I realized that the only op7 pro model that att supports is the global/US unlocked gm1917 variant.
So my question is, is there any methods such as software spoofing that I could trick att's network into thinking that I have the gm1917 model?
The area I live in doesn't have T-mobile cellular coverage so changing carriers would be a pain , op7 pro has been a great phone and I would hate to give it up due to silly reasons like this.

I have the same model of phone and the exact same question. Although to add more info, it's not just that they are dropping 3g. They are also adding in "eSim" cards and requiring those. I suspect part of the reason the unlocked version of one 1+7p is allowed and the t-mobile one isn't has to do with eSim compatibility. I am however not sure and trying to navigate this bull**** REALLY quick. The sim card that came with the "free" phone att sent without asking provides full signal strength but I can't make any calls and I'm worried it maybe an issue that transcends the signal strength.
I don't get it, the gm1915 supports 4G bands right?

Afaik it's not just an issue of 4g bands. eSIm cards are (to my knowledge) different technology than regular sim cards. From what I'm reading it's not enough to know the phone is suppose to look for an at&t signal, but that there is a hardware component that allows eSims to program things differently.
I'm *REALLY* hoping someone will tell me I am wrong, but if I am correct this would also be why it wouldn't be enough to spoof info.
Ok I see. You need to reprogram the eSim.
If the phone's unlocked it should be doable.
GM1917 vs. GM1915 on AT&T
I'm leaning heavily towards getting a 7 Pro for my next phone. I'm on AT&T because it's the only game in town where I live. If I can get the GM1915 variant cheaper than the GM1917, can I convert it to essentially be a 1917 afterwards...

Have you tried AT&T advanced tech support?
Keep trying, some techs know a lot more than others.
They already disabled my sim, so I called and complained and they turned it back on. The phone is fully capable, if it wasn't there would be alot of others that would have to be replaced. They can't afford to just shut down that many phones and loose customers.
On this thread it's stated it won't work because of VoLte.

Do you have a source that I can look into? I believe Iphone 6 isn't esim enabled and yet still belongs in the att's whitelist.

I am currently using WiFi while my tires get changed after factory resetting my phone and won't be near my laptop for some time. Sorry.

T-mobile listed the gm1915 model on the website as VoLTE enabled, and op7 pro comes with all the bands att could possibly use. But yes I believe this is part of the problem, currently VoLTE is disabled for my device.
I have a feeling that att just didn't brother to make niche devices such as T-mobile op7 pro to be compatible with its own VoLTE network.

You might also be able to grill the guy who answered on reddit for more info.

Yeah it just happened to me recently, I also had to call in and get my service back on. But the representative told me that they're going to completely shutdown 3g service by Feb,2022. Which then the network will solely rely on VoLTE to support voice calls.
I have no problem getting LTE ,

Is it just LTE or VoLTE? In my settings I only see the 2G/3G/LTE option being default while I couldn't toggle on the VoLTE. 4g LTE only transmits data whereas VoLTE is more refined and support voice over. This will be a problem once att retire its 3g service as now the phone couldn't use VoLTE to call.

wow yeah how did you get volte to work? Did you enable any settings? volte is lte, but I was just making sure becuase it's not necessarily the other way around.
There are many custom roms that will enable it. I still don't understand why people are having so many issues with the gm1915. I have mine one android 11, fully rooted and have working twrp, still have safety net and widevine l1. Only issues I have had is trying to get wlan packet injection with custom Kernal on Android 11. No problem on 10.
Could be that I know how to generate the qr code to decrypt the engineer app. To activate all the bands
