I'm wondering if it's possible (without root I hope) to disable NR 5G only. The kind where the 5G icon is filled in. It's a massive battery drain, and regular 5G (not filled in icon) is faster than regular 4G/LTE but no where as near as bad on my battery.
Edit:
Forgot to mention, I'm on a UK S22 Ultra, Unlocked (network wide) and on all latest updates
Change the Network Mode in Mobile Networks to disable 5G?

My point was I want to keep using 5G It's still much faster than LTE, but I want to not use NR 5G (the fast one, filled in icon) I get about 50 down on LTE, 270 on normal 5G (not filled in icon) and over 800 on NR 5G (filled in icon, big battery drain). LTE is unreliable in my location here but 5G is not

No, that takes me back to 4G. Not what I wanted, seemcity seems to understand but it's not working for me
Just make sure that NSA and LTE selectred then hit apply configuration. YOU should be able to have 5g with LTE

I'm not sure if I have been near enough to a 5G transmitter to make it work, but in the UK, I have never seen anything over 4G (and yes, I have 5G enabled and a 5G SIM from vodafone).
Has anyone in the UK with an OP8 actually got 5G working? [I'm not interested in USA or other 5G users - just the UK as that is the phone I bought].

Hi,
I have 5g at my home location ( 3 )
Thanks - whereabouts in the country are you?

What's your OP8 version (IN2010, IN2013, ...)?

IN2013
Why?
Do you use two Sims? Think I read somewhere that 5G only works with one active simcard.
I only have 1 SIM

Because IN2010 doesn't recognize one or two bands from 5G in Europe (because is Chinese version). But yours is fine, is European I think.
If you go to Settings > Wi-Fi & network > SIM & network > What does it look like there? SS if you can, please. Also, do you have "2G/3G/4G/5G (Automatic)" selected on "Preferred network type"?
Info from Vodafone UK site:
You’ll need a 5G phone and a 5G-ready data plan to connect to the Vodafone 5G network. All SIM cards are 5G-ready, which means you won’t need a special SIM to get the most out of our growing 5G network. You’ll also need to be in an area that has 5G coverage.
If you're using a 5G compatible phone in an area that doesn't have 5G coverage, your phone will automatically swap to the signal that's available. Your 5G phone will then automatically reconnect to the 5G network once you're back in a 5G area.

So you'll need one of these plans: Unlimited Max data plan or one of their Red plans (above 1GB of data).

I do have it on auto as my preferred type and I am with Vodafone on their unlimited Max data plan.
It may be that I have just never been in a 5G area - but I am told by vodafone that there is 5G in Rochdale town centre and I didn't see it.

Idk, try to go to another area just to test it. Anyway, check here if you have 5G coverage where you live: https://www.vodafone.co.uk/network/status-checker. As far as I can see, in Rochdale town there's a very small area where you can have 5G coverage but it seems that is not the center of the town.
Popped out today to test my phone with Vodafone UK. In places where I get around 200Mbps with My Huawei P40 Pro+, my Mi10U had the 5G icon but speeds were sub 5Mbps. Cellmapper reported it was still on LTE and there was no 5G. I'll try again tomorrow, but anyone else experienced this?
4G speeds are slower on Vodafone too which is to be expected I guess with no band 20, but still usable.
Still no sign of NR in cellmapper. The phone says 5g but not getting the speeds. Works fine with the same SIM in my p40 Pro+
Unfortunately not in a 5G area so not been able to test 5G on my Ultra.
Can only get 3G with my Vodafone sim so have since ditched it for Three and also have EE sim too both which I'm getting good connection speeds in my area (Middlesbrough & Redcar) on 4G+ (70-80 mb/s)
Haven't had this experience on Three. I've also had 530Mb/s down closer to the tower

Thanks. I'll try another mast. Only seems to be one Vodafone 5G mast round here, but odd how it works fine on my P40 Pro+. Maybe the next weekly update will do something too.
Tried a few things, just can't get the phone to connect to 5g. I've disabled the second sim, and the only place I see any mention to enable 5g is "prefer 5g" under preferred network types. It's like 5G is disabled in some way on it.
Go to access points setup
Choose apn protocol and set it to ipv4
And same for apn roaming protocol

Thanks, but doesn't seem to have helped, still no 5G showing up on Vodafone here.
Picked up the unlocked version and activate with Verizon 5G sim here in Honolulu HI. Verizon coverage map states my area and pretty much the entire island is covered for 5G nationwide.
I have full LTE+ showing on my phone but after tshoot with Verizon for the last few hours and driving around a couple miles..my indicator has not changed at all to 5G.
Am i interpreting the coverage map wrong when it says all of the island is on 5G nationwide, meaning to me, i should see the 5G network on my phone?
Since i unboxed this device yesterday, it only pulled down one update and nothing new is showing as far as software updates.
Powered off the device a few times along with a network reset and still no 5G..
So far I've found the 5G feature to be the most overhyped, most under developed feature I've seen that was this hyped up in a long while. For the most part at the moment, i find it that unless you're standing on a block containing a 5mm 5G cell tower, 5G as of right now is pretty sparse and mostly useless.

Only the Verizon branded phones have gotten the update to enable the sub6 5g. The unlocked phones have not been updated for it.

What you can do is use the *#272*<imei number>#
Choose the att csc and choose the option to only change the network code.
I tried this and got 5g for 1.1 sec. What exactly does this do?
You can also enable bands and DSS for verizon nationwide coverage through the service mode menus. I have a n20 ultra with U1 firmware on verizon csc with 5G working.

Where under service mode do you enabled bands and DSS please? Is this while the network code is switched to ATT?

Thanks, I did this and was able to get 5G to show. I did see some connectivity issues after doing this with things like apps reaching out to their servers and what not. Oddly, speed test gave me lower speed results than on LTE for some reason..

I attached screenshots of the menus I changed to enable 5G. The DSS menu enables 5G DSS, the LTE band menu enables all the LTE bands and the NR prune menu enables all the 5G bands. I would restore the VZW csc before making any changes. Changing the csc resets any service mode changes made manually. It will also work under any of the csc's selected, but then other things like wifi calling and visual voice-mail are configured for that carrier and don't work right. Also, carrier aggregation combos for lte and 5g produce slower data speeds if you have sales and network codes mismatched to the SIM thats being used.

That worked like a charm... Gahhhh feels like a clog has been removed from my phone's data connection. #lifesaver
One ui 3 beta build enables 5g for Verizon if anyone wants to take that route. Looks like someone figured out how to enable it through google phone though [emoji106]

Was anyone able to enable n78 5G band ?
mi 10 ultra if 2 sim insert cannot connect 5g
If one sim off it is connected to 5G
Mine works with 2 sims when there is a nearby 5G signal.
Did you set the primary sim for data which supports 5G?
yes my primary sim already set to 5G.

Hi,
I was just wondering if you also get the options to set 5G. I'm on the latest EU Rom stable (V12.0.15.0.QJJCNXM), but in my settings in "Preferred Network type" I only have the option to choose LTE, 3G or 2G only)
Do you guys have the option to choose 5G?
Thanks
I have 5 g on SIM 1 and 4g (LTE) on SIM 2. Check your settings on both Sims if they have 5g enabled. See screenshots.

Hi @Sathelp,
I appreciate your confirmation, but unfortunately I don't have the option to choose 5G.
Are you also using the stable EU version? or are you on a weekly rom?
As mentioned, with the stable V12.0.15.0 I don't even get the option for 5G only LTE.
My wife has a Mi10T pro with stock rom and she gets 5G option and we have the same Telco Carrier, so that is not the problem.
Why doesn't my Ultra get it?
Thanks
I've not heard any other issues. I'm on weekly but why don't you pop over to the Xiaomi EU forum and ask there? Might get a little more support for this question
T Mobile Band 41 5G does not work on this phone in USA. Disappointing.

3500mhz range of 1km max or even less with high speed and are very sensitive to obstacles. I did the test next to a 3500mhz the speed drops to 800m.
700mhz carries much further but with speeds often lower than 4G.
the 5g icon is displayed because you have chosen 5g network by preference even if you are on 4g. (Xiaomi ).
Given the lack of 5g antenna nearby I leave it in 4g preferred and I am in 4g+ with very good speed.

Don't bother with that, 5g 700mhz offers lower speeds than 4g 4g+.
Its only advantage is that range.
