How do we know which bands are good?

It depends on operators and location to location. Check speeds and coverage of your operators band and which band works best.

hi guys,
I'm considering asking a colleague in the states to purchase and send me a Pixel XL.
I did a bands support check for my Taiwanese network and the Pixel supports 2 out of 3 of the used LTE bands on my network (Chungwa). The only one missing is B8 (900).
Anyone with knowledge of how LTE networks work care to enlighten me what the side-effect of this could be? Am I going to be having connectivity issues?
That'd depend entirely on how that particular carrier deploys its LTE. Some carriers use all their bands available, while others use some bands in one area and different bands in another.

Thanks for the info. Would there be any way for me to find this out?

I personally would install LTE Discovery and see what your current phone connects to in your area
That's odd. I thought band 8 is needed to get LTE with Chunghwa Telecom.
Hi everybody! I bought this phone and works nice except lte. LTE is available only in big city not in my town In compare with my old LG g3 that has lte signal in my town... I think it is because of chinese lte bands, right? Is there any chance to solve it? I'm from europe. Thanks for any idea!
I bet your operator uses LTE 800Mhz outside cities and Z2 doesn't have that frequency. No way around this. Use 3G instead outside of cities.

E.g. Poland. Sometimes outside big cities, mobile operators still use this frequency.

LTE band 5(850mhz) in Indian retial unit?
Can someone with the Indian retail unit confirm whether it supports LTE band 5(850mhz)? Since many sellers locally here in India are mentioning it as supported but it is missing in Lenovo India's website's product specification.
Thanks
Yes it does.
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.

Thanks!
Just tried it on my S20 Ultra 5G, Qualcomm version and works as well! It has been a while since I could lock a certain band on my Samsung device without having to root, so thanks for the heads up!
I have created a video as a proof, available here https://youtu.be/H7EhuUfcQio
this is an amazing find!
Thank you for that.
I wish there was a way to revert to default.

You can always revert to default by clicking the selection toggle again.

Dear friend
If you reside in a particular location and the nearby tower is having many bands of same operator. Our mobile phone latches to a particular band or a combination of band called carrier Aggregation or LTEA depending on the configuration of cell site. You can try any combination which gives best speeds at your place and also coverage.

Can I lock onto 5G with this?
I'm having an issue where my S20 plus does not show any 5G options in the connection settings.
I have a 5G plan with EE in the UK

i have locked it to TDD LTE band 40 for maximum speed. Noticing significantly lesser battery drain for now with screen on.
May be while travelling should choose lesser bands for coverage.

Which company sim?
Hi everyone. Im wondering if this is possible for pixel 6 pro. Basically my unit is direct from us store which is G8VOU. Now im using it in Malaysia and 4g lte works fine.
Now im wondering if carrier aggregation is possible through root. Right now from what see through netmonster it can do 2ca on the same band(check screenshot). I think its aggregating two towers with the same band, i may be wrong though.
Anyone had any idea how to force enable multi band ca? The local sold phone can go up to 5ca which are mainly band 1, 3, 7 ,8. Thanks in advance.
I would also like to know
Is it not 4G+ an indication of currently using carrier aggregation?
Try to download NPerf app and click on speed test button. It will detect your carrier and mention it's currently on 4G+ or LTE-A
Another proof is below when you check in *#*#4636#*#* . Currently my Yoodo is on band 7 and band 3.
And Digi Malaysia only have 1 band which is Band 7
Digi - Malaysia - Wireless Frequency Bands and Device Compatibility
Digi (Malaysia) uses 2 GSM bands, 1 UMTS band, and 1 LTE band. Find out if your unlocked phone or mobile device will work with Digi (Malaysia)

Yes like is said. Mine is at 2ca indicated that im at TWO bands aggregated. Which is way below whats possible. Let me know if you have something that can help instead of just pointing out facts i already stated in the first post. Thanks.

I sometimes have band 3 and 8 as well. Just never 3 or 4ca at a time. Only up to 2ca max.
The modem decides aggregation.
