That's from Dec 2019. See mine from Dec 2020. Be more useful

Just go to Tmobile and find their bands-that way you can be more useful!. Things don't change just because a year passed by...and people like me never will. So there...saying in sarcasm and jest as the internet is your friend. Everyone wants to be spoonfed. Tmobile 5g bands are NR 41 / 71 / 260 / 261
which of these match the 5g bands of the 20x 5g model? Will leave you to that much work and be useful...
T-Mobile network
Learn about coverage and technologies of the T-Mobile network, including a 5G and 4G LTE Coverage map, device compatibility, and more.

you have to scroll down to find the bands...oh such a lot of work lol

Unlock Mate SE frequency bands

Is it possible? I'm with MetroPCS and get about 80% of their frequencies but I'm short a few bands. Anyone on the same boat as me?

I'm with T-Mobile and the phone works great with no band issues-even better than my S7 edge Tmo.

I know MetroPCS uses their network. Have you done the frequency check to see if you're getting all their bands, for t mobile I mean? I have attached the bands that the mate supports on Metro but would like to enable the ones that aren't.

I don't think the Mate phone (or any honor 7x version) have the hardware capabilities for band 66 or 71. If the phone was exclusively for T-Mobile, I bet Huawei probably equipped at least their flagships with them. Below you can see all the supported bands from all the Honor 7x versions.

For me, even if the phone had either band 66 or 71 dunno if T-Mobile have deployed these frequencies where I live. I either get band 4 or 12 and is incredible fast (100 Mbps download).
ugh i totally want to know how to unlock all those bands
This phone becomes useless when you travel to Europe especially with LTE as major bands used in Europe aren't supported on US models.
this is very frustrating.

S20 Ultra LTE.. No5G :crying:

i just recently received my s20 ultra LTE, there is no 5G enable. just want to know is this software limitation or that 5G modem is missing in my phone. its powered with exynos 990.
depends on what market you're living!
4G ultra might offer significant better battery life since the external 5g modem is disabled. we need to wait and check
Possibility your SIM is is not 5g ready?

Give more details. What version you bought? Where are you living?
I got the usa snapdragon ultra and there is no 5g option here in the UK where I am
Only tmobile has nationwide "5g" other carroers are only in very few cities. Itll be a couple years. Go to *#2263# and disable 5g to save battery

I don't think you can
What speed are you getting on 4G?
Tbh if it's anything like the UK then you'll have more than enough speed and better battery life.
The phone capable of 5G (network permitting) but do we really need it? Similar to the ram, do we need 12-16GB? Lol, not really.
Run a does test, see what you get.
175Mb down? Lol that's slow for me..

Mate 20x 5g EVR-N29 TMobile question

So got a great deal on a new mate 20x 5g so i just received it today. Im using it on TMobile in Phoenix Az and when i switch network preference to 5g it shows 5g symbol with almost full bars. I thought this didn't have TMobile 5g bands? Maybe its just showing the symbol but not actually on 5g?

Anybody?? ...
Is the data speed fast at least or is it the exact same speed at 4g? I found tmobile 5G to be slower than 4G in my area.
Mate 20 X 5G doesn't support T-Mobile 5G well, if there is n41 SA available then you maybe could use that. Here is listed supported bands and combinations: https://cacombos.com/device?model=EVR-N29
You see 5G icon because your phone see 5G UpperLayerIndicator message in SIB2.

Does it still work - data and voice calling simultaneously? Thanks (as July 1 was some kind of cutoff date for Tmobile relative to 3g complete disconnect)

Question C band for Verizon? Future of 5g

Does anyone know if this phone or the regular one plus nine will have c-band for verizon? I'm considering getting this phone, currently on verizon, trying to decide between the nine and nine pro
I hope OnePlus 9 Pro will work on any 5g bands.
8 pro does NOT !
I talk with OnePlus and they say that will be fixed on future updates. That was last year..

Thoughts? Any updates?
What are those of you on verizon doing? Buying this or regular oneplus 9?
The 9 pro currently doesn't work on Verizon or att 5g network. It works on their 4g lte. It is only certified on T-Mobile 5g network.

i have no idea. i think it could change for verizon but at&t is very strict about what they are letting on their 5g network.
I spoke with an agent at One Plus and they said the 9 pro would be compatible with Verizon's 5G network out of the box.
Also chatted with a verizon agent, and they said I would just need to put a verizon 5G sim in it.
Interesting. I guess we'll see?
Do we think it will work on the ultra fast portion of their 5g band?

who knows, knowing verizon, they'll find a way to gum up the works. when I go to activate the device next week, I'll give an update.
This is from the one plus website, under carrier compatibility:
Verizon: Support Band (LTE): 2/4/5/13/46/48/66 Support Band (NR) n2/n5/n66
The 9 Pro currently supports Low and mmWave 5G on Verizon, C-Band is disabled, however you can enable it using QPST but you will not have a UW icon.

I do, I did it on my 9 Pro, highest speed I've gotten 670Mbps down, however I'm gonna be honest, it's too complicated (for me) to write out on here, and too dangerous to accidentally mess something up, I'd wait till someone who knows how to explain things on here, writes it up.
I know that OnePlus has C-Band (N77) disabled in the software, however you can enable it with QPST, I did on my 9 Pro and running a speed test, the fastest speeds I got was around 670Mbps, however, the only issue I have is that I cannot figure out how to make it show the 5G UW icon from mmWave, I know the phone has it, is there any way for me to manually enable the 5G UW icon for C-Band (N77) with QPST? Can it be enabled with root (Magisk)?
Second question, do you guys think OnePlus will enable C-Band on the 9 Series? Will it be Oxygen OS 12 exclusive, or will they send out 1 more Oxygen OS 11 update (11.2.11.11)?
Why do you keep referencing this mod, but you won't detail how you performed the mod. Or at least post a link to the instructions?

Because I suck at explaining things, I definitely don't have the patience to write out a detailed tutorial, and I don't want the guilt of possibly bricking someone's phone, which is why I keep saying people should wait till someone patient enough writes a tutorial.

Question OP9P missing Sub 6 5G?

I see that the phone is missing Sub 6 5G.
I literally have no idea what it is, but I see all other 5G handsets have this, does it matter?
Does that mean the OnePlus 9 Pro will have different speeds / connectivity than the galaxy S21 Ultra?
AFAIK, it supports mm wave bands which I believe is sub 6.. but not ATT.
From what I understand, TMO's ahead in the game as far as 5G networks are concerned. They're starting to roll out mid-band 5G.
Granted, their upgrade scheme is supposed to be fragmented at best, and their failures are representative of the other two major US carriers.
Here's a thing I was reading about the state of TMO's networks: https://www.sdxcentral.com/articles/news/t-mobiles-5g-speed-claims-dont-jibe-with-reality/2021/01/
Mind you, that looks more toward mmWave's future rather than that of Sub6...

I think ATM is an understatement. I think its been in perpetual suspension. They keep lobbying to change the definition. Fist it was 4g. Now the definition of 5G and the speeds of 5G has also been changed.
And they already talk about the benefits of 6g super-ultra-extra speed...
