False 5G Notification - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

So my phone is showing me the 5G icon on the top right notification bar but when I download an app to see what the network is connected to it indicates LTE. What's up with that? There have been times where it shows LTE and other times it shows as 5G.
BTW I'm on Metro

So helpful, thanks a million

HSUPA on AT&T

I noticed HSUPA is disabled in Advanced Configuration Manager on my new Tilt 2. What's up with that? I thought AT&T supported HSUPA?
It does. Maybe ATT is doing that to give more bandwidth to iPhone users...
I'm curious, which option under AdvConfig are you looking at?

Data Connections-> HSUPA support
"Enables or disables support in Advanced Network Settings"
It was set to disabled. After enabling, I still cannot see anything refering to it under Settings-> Connection-> Advanced Network.
Anyone surprised by this doesn't know AT&T very well.

Does the above activation fix actually work and we are left with an icon issue, like you are connected to HSUPA but only show 3G.

HSDPA is enabled by default but it only shows a 3G symbol. I'm getting consistent speeds over 1000.
However, I can't find any of the settings the above posts mention...
EDIT: I read too quickly. You guys are talking about U not D. But for D, what I said above applies.
From what I have heard before, the phone does support the H speed, just that the H icon was disabled probably to prevent confusion among the common (non XDA) user.
I enabled both the HSDPA icon and HSUPA in AdvancedConfig and it works for me.

What program do you use to test your speed?
on the fuze, hsdpa was enabled but att disabled hsupa to save some money for themselves. changing HKLM\Software\HTC\AdvancedNetwork\SupportHSUPA to 1 fixed that. i dont have a tilt 2 so dont hold me to that. if youre just talking about the icon then yes, att does put hspa protocols under the 3g icon.

Is this also in the stock AT&T ROM, because I can't seem to find the option?
There is another thread that talks about this already, but it seems the conclusion was that even though it only shows "3G" it runs at the HSDPA speeds. Mine is over 1000kbps all the time, and I can see why at&t wouldnt want to confuse regular phone users with a big "H" at the top.

There is a reg edit to change it so you will have the "H" at the top somewhere on here.

You need to use Advanced Configuration Manager to see this option.

My original question wasn't about the device displaying H or 3G, but the HSUPA support (not icon) in Advanced Config Manager. Mine showed the option as disabled.
In the end, I think the point is moot. With the ATT rom, my device showed the same speed test results as with the OE HTC 6.5 rom, regardless of that setting.

So are you saying AT&T doesn't have HSUPA in your area, or are you saying HSUPA is enabled and Advanced Configuration Manager is wrong?
What kind of upload speeds are you seeing?
I enabled HSUPA but I am not getting HSUPA speeds....? Is it actually possible with the stock ATT ROM? Or any TILT2 for that matter?

Disable the dam Volte Notification?

I keep getting this dam "Your device is VOLTE Capable" it pops up like every 10-20 minutes. It is very annoying. I have tried to disable it, but nothing works just keeps popping up. How the heck do you disable this notification?? I have already enabled that feature so I'm not sure why I keep getting the notification. I even tried disabling the service but it is greyed out.
I agree! 1+ Enable it!
if you dont have it enabled it wont come on. for me i have no use for it. only thing it bugs me is when im on a call im going to 3g . while its turn on it stays on lte

There has to be a way to turn off the notification. I've got to figure it out. It's really annoying you can't at the moment. I also posted in the official Oneplus 3 forums too, so far no reply...
There is a way to turn it off. Go to settings>cellular networks>sim you want to change. Turn off the "Enhanced 4G LTE mode"
Notification will not turn on any more.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
Yes I know that. With it on it shouldn't tell you or bug you every 10 minutes to tell you, hey volte is working. Every other phone that is volte does not have a notification telling you every 10 minutes that it is working.
Sorry, my bad. I misread the question. I thought you wanted it off all together

Did you find a solution for this issue? Is very annoying
I've just been swiping it away. No clue why it keeps reappearing.
That's actually a problem I wouldn't mind having. What network are you with and how did you enable VoLTE in the first place?

That just means that sim/carrier doesn't support VoLTE. I have an att sim in my other slot and it doesn't have that feature. Only my T-Mobile sim works this way. Att doesn't support VoLTE right now.

I'm with Rogers in Canada and I have VoLTE on my iPhone 6s and my s7 edge... For some reason out here they only make VoLTE available for their devices. I had an unlocked note 5 from Bell which was the same model. Changes the csc to match and VoLTE still didn't work.

They might just not have the phones correct information in their DB as a VoLTE capable device. I couldn't get LTE at all through at&t until I had them change my imei to an old phone I had laying around. I'm wondering if you guys are having similar issues. At&t rep told me the op3 imei come up as a basic data phone and not an LTE device.
Anyone else you know up there with VoLTE working?
Edit: I see you tried the swap already using the note 5.

Just swipe it off from the notification drawer man. How much calories does it burn? 5000? Why do we have to keep finding unnecessary faults?
I really love this phone but this notification is annoying. It's like a kid on a car ride asking are we there yet. Just kinda annoys you after awhile and you want it to stop!

I'm running Resurrection Remix rom and I just have to long press the notification and then there's an option to turn off the notification. Do it and it won't come back. Also I wasn't even sure that VolTe was working but I found out that if you open your dialer and choose the screen that you dial numbers on, On the top left of the page it will say "VolTe". That means it's working. Hope this was help.

Data connection switch 2G/3G/4G missing

Hello guys.
I need another tip as I am not running AT&T network in Europe I wanted to ask you if you are able to switch manually between network types 2G/3G/4G. The phone connects me to 4G regardless to how bad the reception is, and in that areas I want to be able to swotch from 4G to 3G.
Does any of you have a solution for this item?
Your responses will be appreciated.

As far as I've ever known, the only way to really impact that without root would be to change APN settings. I can't really provide specifics on this device, but there definitely isn't a quick and easy way to toggle between them.

You saved me from selling my beloved S7 Active! After searching (camo green, unlocked) from about 2 months, I bought it a week ago. I'm using "MINT SIM". So on default network settings, I'm fine outdoor, but indoor situation is horrible, it keeps me in LTE (barely 1 bar). So calls were getting disconnected. I don't care about data in my house, as I'm on WIFI all the time. Now, from your provided code, I selected 'Global Auto' and I'm getting ALL bars of network! It is connecting me to UMTS automatically! Data speed good enough for me! I don't have to sell it anymore! Thanks a lot!!

Carrier Name - Unlocked Pixel on Verizon

Bought my Pixel unlocked from the Google store and am using my Verizon SIM in it. Noticed that sometimes the carrier network name in the top left when pulling down the notification shade says "Verizon Wireless". Then it will randomly change to "VzW". Rebooting the phone sets it back to normal. Nothing functional seems to be broken so it's just a cosmetic thing. Wondering if anyone else is seeing this as well?

Mine just says "Verizon". I wounder why the different names, maybe it has to do with the tower?
Mine does the same thing. It's there, I'm told, to give you a heads up if you start roaming.

Hmm, that's odd. Most often I see this at work and the buildings I work in are all wired for Verizon service. So definitely not roaming in my case.
I'm on cricket and see cricket or AT&T depending on location.

Use "NetMonster" App
*#*#4636#*#*
Passing through several cities (and back) i've connected to approx 75 towers in my Netmonster Log. LTE-A/LTE+ has not shown on the phone at all, and checking the signal live, i saw no indication of two or more bands connecting. I've even tried swapping SIM slots, still nothing. So this may be a model that has Carrier Aggregation disabled to reduce licensing fees.
I have verified CA availability in this region with this provider through my samsung s20 with the same SIM card.
