Hello guys
i got the OP3 A3000. i got mine from the official website and its the American version.
ilive in Israel, and there for my device wont have a LTE band #3 like the European versions come with.
my question is, if ill install a Euro rom..would it include the missing LTE band?
* is the anyway other way to pass this issue or installing the missing band ?
thanks in advance.
Eli
Nope. The bands are defined outside of the rom, I'd assume in the modem configuration.

is there anyway that i can install or activate that band on my phone ?
Unless you have the encryption keys to program the baseband...
There's a thread here where people have been trying to change bands without success.
My friend you should check if the phone has the band you need before you buy the phone.
A3000 model it's also for China region.
tl;dr - bands can't be changed

I called a tmobile rep who said that the Xiaomi Mi Max is compatible with tmobile's 4G LTE. Meanwhile a few users have said that it may not be compatible. So I dont know who to believe. Could you guys who own this phone and who are on tmobile tell me if its compatible on tmobile's 4G LTE?

I dont understand your comment. Did you mean to say that there is no LTE form any provider in the US or that the phone isnt compatible with any 4G in the US?

A tmobile rep emailed me the LTE bands that tmobile currently uses for New York City. He said the phone is compatible. Look below at the tmobile bands. Compare those with the bands on the Xiaomi Mi Max, which is linked here:

Let me know you think!!!!
T-mobile network frequencies in New York are:
2G (GSM)
4G/3G U2100
4G/3G U1900
LTE 2100
LTE 1900
LTE 700A

Well if that's the case it should work, the 2100 & 1900 LTE band's are covered but both of those are short range, long range one LTE 700A is not covered but same situation is in EU regarding LTE band 800. Still I don't guarantee you it will work, it should & close to the towers with those two short range bands if you're info is correct (phone side is correct and same as listed on GSMarena).
Best regards.

No LTE in USA for any provider... with Mi Max.... T-Mobile rep doesn't know a thing about this phone.
check this out "will my phone work .net" without spaces
I've checked myshelf, no support for T-Mobile 4G LTE in New York. Only 2G and 3G
I have mi max on t mobile and only have hspa+, but it's fast enough in my area (30mbs down)

I live in NYC and I get about 5 mbps down using tmo. In comparison, using my note 4 I get around 30mpbs. In NYC you will be using the refarmed 3g network, not LTE. My phone switches between 3g and h+ but it's essentially the same thing

I've driven from upper new york thru Canada, to Chicago. Never without data for long. All bigger cities fine, smaller cities 3g, it's a great device.
Probably not stream video but Google maps worked fine.

Hi
I bought a 11x from India and I trying to use it in the UK. The coverage is very poor due to the bands being use by India rom. Do you think there is a way to improve it.
Thank

The bands are picked by your sim card not the phone. If I stick in my AT&t sim it always uses band 4 for LTE. I have the Poco F3 global edition working in America and I have the international Samsung S10 lite working same thing band 4.
Then using the same sim .. in s21 and m11x why do I get two different data speed. My understanding was Mi11 was using a different band to s21.
How is reception or signal strength? Which carriers work in USA? I ask because I wonder if us mobile will work since it is CDMA less verizon mvno?
Hi guys. I want to buy this phone in a few weeks and I want to know if there are some signal problems ( I live in Romania). If there is more than this problem please say. Thanks!
Compare the bands available in Xiaomi Mi 10T variants with the bands used in your country by your SIM card carrier.
