I got the unlocked version from the google store to use on Mint (T Mobile mvno). It does not connect to UC which I figured it wouldn't considering only the Verizon variant has mmWave. However, I went to the T Mobile store and tested their 6a variant and it did connect to mmWave UC, speed test over 500mbs. So I'm curious if loading the T Mobile rom on an unlocked phone would support it.
I purchased the unlocked version, and I get 5GUC on TMobile. But I don't think that it is mmwave
Ok, I see T-Mobile also refers to their n41 (2.5GHz) 5G as Ultra Capacity

I have the 6a bought from a T-Mobile store (well, mailed from T-Mobile as they didn't have sage in stock). I see 5GUC in some places in Ann Arbor, but don't see DL speeds over about 150....
Out in the wild, I never see over 150 either. However, in the T-Mobile store, I get UC and over 400. I have a theory they have one of those personal cell things in the store. I'm in the Cleveland area. I turn off 5G for the most part, it keeps the phone cooler and helps with battery life.
I'm betting that the 5G UC symbol is for native T-Mobile, not MVNOs. If you see Mint Mobile in your indicator, it just says "5G".
I believe only Verizon shows "Verizon" even if a MVNO is used. Most carriers show the MVNO name if one is used, and avoid the branded indicators.
You are right. Even though the band is the same, only the T-Mobile sim displays UC. Found a good video explaining the differences.
I have 2 questions related to T-Mobile and Google purchased phone. I am on T-Mobile and have the default build.
1. Is there anything to be gained or loss by flashing the newer T-Mobile B1 build vs default B1 build?
2. Does flashing to T-Mobile B1 build exclude me from the Android 13 Beta program?

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?

Got it! Thank you !
So my 8T is converted to global, and I have the EU 11.0.6.9 update installed.
I'm not sure if its just the updates or just the phone in general but I noticed it struggles, or rather sucks in certain areas that do not have the greatest reception in comparison to iPhones. I was recently on a job, where just about everyone with an iphone was able to lock in with a decent signal, meanwhile my 8T couldn't even get a single bar. Same carriers too.(TMO)
Anyone else notice this?
I think it's just the phone. There's an area on the highway near my house that has a low signal (in between two cell towers) and the 8T will drop out with no signal, where every other phone will be able to maintain at least 1 bar.
Oddly enough I've been signal in places where I didn't get signal with my last phone? Same sim card, both phones were running Lineage.
Of course there are so many factors, it's going to be hard to get "real" results.

If you happen to have the R14 or newer SIM card and 5G turned on, your phone could be preferring upgraded Sprint band 41 over other frequency bands. I've found that in some areas this doesn't work so well because the band is really touchy without having overlapping coverage. For that reason I change my data setting to 4G/3G/GSM. I don't believe the iPhones have that band or access to that band yet. It depends on the iPhone I guess.
I have a Sprint purchased, on TMO sim card per their instructions after the merger. I'm seriously considering MSM back to the T-Mobile software. For the simple reason of what you just described. I was blazingly fast 5G before the conversion. Now I struggle with even connection on Wi-Fi calling or no connection for phone calls at all out of my house it's horrible.
And what the hell is the the H in my data on notification bar.

The room may have put an older baseband on the phone which can causes issues like this.
Please pardon if this seems repetitive as I have not found any answers. I have T-Mobile SM-S908U (T-Mobile) variant pre-ordered from Samsung. Was able to get the phone network unlocked. So I ended up flashing the phone with XAA variant (SM-S908U1)
I have noticed the followings.
Using SM-S908U(TMobile):
Calls seems much clearer
5GUC Icon
Download 230 Mbps Upload 6.45 Mbps
Using SM-S908U1 (XAA Unlocked)
Calls are not clear as Carrier
No 5GUC icon
Download 278 Mbps Upload 14.4 Mbps
CSC is TMB/TMB,TMB/XAU
Would you please share your call quality with the unlocked firmware? Do I need to do anything to get the clear call quality like the carrier version?
Thank you all in advance
Update: One more observation I've noticed:
Using T-Mobile firmware, when calling any other T-Mobile phone, the calls are very clear, high definition.
Using unlocked firmware to T-Mobile number, regular call quality.
Flash 908U1 TMB not XAA
You had better luck than I getting your phone unlocked. TMo is not unlocking mine.

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.
