Hello,
Long time lurker here.
I've recently purchased a Note 10 Plus 5G from Vodafone UK which I've unlocked. I've inserted my O2 UK 5G enabled sim card in it and it wont pick up 5G although I am in a 5G area. Tested on a S10 5G and it works fine.
Any idea what the issue is?

What CSC is the phone on?
Hey,
Thanks for replying.
It's on VOD although should that affect it? The S10 5G is on EVR.

I'm just guessing honestly but in theory the hardware should all be the same whichever UK carrier it's from. EVR is EE, no real connection to O2 but it is a difference.
You do have 5G enabled right? (see screenshot)
Btw, certain power saving modes can turn off 5G, too.
Its enabled and works when I have a Vodafone sim in the phone which is on CSC VOD. The minute put the O2 sim card in it drops to 4G and wont budge.
As I said when I use the S10 5G which is EVR its fine. Oddly when I tried to reflash the S10 5G to BTU it defaulted to TEL in Oz. I had to flash it back to EVR firmware which luckily is a single CSC firmware.
I'm within the first 10 days of having the Note 10+ and it wont allow me to unlock the OEM to reflash. I'm a little apprehensive to do it in case the CSC defaults to something strange like TEL and I cant flash back to VOD as it's a multiple CSC firmware and I could end up on VD1 and I might lose 5G completely.
There's a Samsung service centre in town, I might drop in and see if they can help...

I think speaking in store with Samsung will be your best bet.
BTW just wanted to be clear, you don't have to OEM unlock to flash firmware with odin and if you OEM unlock you lose warranty.

I'll see what they say, might be by design?
I thought the frequency that O2 and Vodafone UK for 5G was the same?

Still on 4G here in the UK (Only around London has proper coverage, But they are updating as they go along. You still get very high speeds on the 4G ranging from around 100Mbs
Faster than what i was getting on my Note 8
I get the rectangular logo posted above, with a white background and black "5G" text when the phone is active on 5G. When it is connected on 5G but not active on data, I get the same logo but with black background and white text.
That's on EE in London (and Vodafone, when their network can be arsed to work)
These icons?
I've seen them both as well.

Yep, that's the two I get. I didn't realise they actually meant something different
(and anyway, I thought that the Note 10 5G was only capable of 5G NSA (non-stand alone), which makes a bit of a mockery of having 2 different 5G icons allegedly meaning 2 different methods of connecting...)
Hey, I've recently bought a Samsung Note 10+ 5G (Snapdragon) on eBay and it's from Mainland China (SM-9760), and it's lacking all Google services, aka, no Google Play Store or what so ever, I was wondering if I could flash any other firmware on it for example, the SM-N975U1 even though it's for the regular Note 10+. Or is there any specific requirements. Thanks in advance, I am pretty new to this.
A big No, you cannot flash 975U/U1 on the 9760. You can brick your device. However, you can flash a 9760 image for another country with Google services enabled. Let me check and revert back to you.

Nope, you can only flash firmware for N9760, and there is no firmware with Google services enabled for N9760 (maybe BRI when they get the 5G version) ; however every chinese Samsung phone has the google services in the software, they're just disabled but you can activate them and install all the google apps such as play store as easy as installing an apk

Hey, I've bought the same version but straight from a Samsung store in mainland China.
It should have Google framework preinstalled. To check if it is go in your settings and look for a Google option. To activate them you just need to add your Google account and install play store apk. No need to flash another firmware and anyway you can't it is the only 5g dual SIM variant.

Hi all,
I recently bought an unlocked S20+ from the Samsung store and am using it on T-mobile. I have been trying to check the "software update" but I can't seem to be getting the new One UI 3 update to show up. Do i need to wait for T-mobile to release/push it since i'm on the t-mobile network or should the unlocked version get the update directly from Samsung ?
Just be patient, it will come in december.

I'd like to know the same thing, an unlocked phone on Verizon who will my update come from?
thanks much for the info. So i suppose its just a matter of waiting. It will be good to see where my update is coming from eventually - Samsung or T-mobile.
I have the S20 Ultra direct from a Sprint (now TMobile) store with firmware TK2 and still see no update to One UI 3.0 even though they have been saying for a whole week now that it's rolling out. Seems more like a smoked bee crawling out of cold honey. I even tried the stupid Smart Switch on the Windows desktop and it says there is no update. But yes there is, people are already getting it, so obviously there is. Surely there must be a file you can download from somewhere to do it manually?
EDIT: Looks like there is a program called "TMobile Network Experience" that would give me a SIm swap that would immediately upgrade me to Android 11. I also ready that people are simply swapping in TMobile sim cards, updating to Android 11 and then swapping back in their Sprint sim cards, and apparently that works great. So now the question becomes, can you safely download that TMobile ROM for the S20 variant in question and flash it yourself to your S20? If a simple tmobile SIM card swap upgrades the phone to the TMobile version, it seems all you would really need is that tmobile ROM download.
EDIT2: Just spoke to a Sprint store manager and they are giving out free TMobile Network Experience SIM cards and confirmed that my S20 Ultra will get the Android 11 update almost immediately after doing so. Those SIM cards are free too. So that is one way of forcing the update for us Sprint customers.
Well my S20+ is on a T-mobile SIM and i'm still waiting for the update. Also it seems like T-mobile has paused the rollout - no specific reason cited so far so looks like it might be a while.
It's funny i moved from a Pixel 3 to S20+ and went backwards in software.
You'll get the update from Samsung, when they release the U1 version, not when T-Mobile releases theirs. T-Mobile rolled back the update due to issues, so when they approve the new release, the U1 will receive it shortly thereafter.
Is it possible to enable 5G in the Indian variant of One Plus 9 Pro? I know I cannot test 5G network. I tried to edit the carrier_policy.xml. This was the output.

Also is it possible to enable the rest of the bands like North America Varient?
same question.
I do have this same question
I'm positive that the indian version might not have the physical antennas for 5g built inside, the north American does because apparently 5G is so important that every new phone in America needs it. Im guessing its the same thing like with the International version of the Galaxy Note 21 where they don't have the 5G antennas and the North America does but they sell them the same price no matter what.
But who knows I could be wrong

You need a 5g plan enabled sim and you should ask your provider if they have 5g coverage in your area.
If 5g is enabled in your phone. You shud select 5g in network type. Also options like Smart 5G will be enabled in settings. The sim should be in sim slot 1 if dual sim phone.

One way to check from UE Capability Information message if it report 5G band then it's enabled.
You can check few differents way to get UE Capability Information message: https://cacombos.com/contribute.
my german bought 6 pro does not fully work in my country(5g, volte and so on). I am planning on giving it to my sister who lives in the U.S. Will everything work there correctly? Will the google features work?
Should work fine. All the Pixels run the same firmware these last few months.
European models do not have a mmWave antenna. Major carriers in the US use that.

No need for 5g. It destroys the battery life on the 6 pro, from what I have read. Just need carrier aggregation, volte, vowifi and the pixel features to work.

Major carriers (plural) or just Verizon?

Even if the phone does lack the capability to use 5G, it'll still work on 4G just fine. I haven't bothered to have a 5G plan yet.

I'm not sure. I always associate it with Verizon but perhaps other carriers use it as well. The rollout has been quite confusing now with C band in the mix..

Did she ever make it work then? Did VoLTE and WiFi calling work in the US right off the bat?
