Hello, I have a strange issue with my device SM-G9880. I could not get 5g to work on sim1. It works only on sim2 slot. The option is available on sim 1 but does not connect to 5g. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Kuwait, ooredoo. Im not sure if its relevant since it works on sim 2 already. But it is strange honestly.
Can confirm the same here with the sm-g9880 Hong Kong model. I have a Telstra Aussie Sim that supports band 78 5g. Will only work in second Sim tray. Very strange. I'm guessing this is some kind of bug?

It is a bug, and hopefully can be fixed by a software update

Just to let people know though. Once on the Hong Kong CSC , it doesn't support band 28 aggregation so won't do 4g plus . Another strange thing considering band 28 (700) works by itself.
Here are the bands support as confirmed by samsung Hong Kong

It supports band 28 (700) but it doesn't pair with other bands for 4g plus like it normally should. Specifically band 1 and band 3 - they normally both pair with band 700 but they haven't been on this firmware.
Any update my 5g not working I only have 4g+ I have sm-g9880 and I. Using ooredoo kuwait
Im having this issue after the last update I dont know what samsung have. But i discoverd a fix if you want 5G u have
To disable SIM 1 (Remove the sim or turn it off from the setting ) and use SIM 2 only then 5G will be back
were you able to get this to work? I want to order a G9860 Taiwan or hk model but won't if I can't use an sd card! Whatsapp and camera pics would rinse that internal storage straight away!
g9880 issue
hello there, i have china version g9880 but i want to flash euro firmware, like g988b firmware, can i flash it? will the phone be able to boot up?

Try changing CSC to 'TGY' or 'BRI'?
Hey there,
today I tried using 5g in Germany (vodafone) on my g9880 with tgy csc. It worked only in sim2. Does anyone know when it will probably be fixed or know some kind of workaround?
Thanks in advance !

so 5G on sim 1 was working before the update and they just broke it? I was just wondering if it ever worked on sim 1. If it did before,i guess there is hope they will fix it in the future.
Hi. Is this still an issue? I've just ordered a s20+ 5g (snapdragon).
I am interested in buying IQOO 3. IQOO 3 has Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor with a built-in X55 modem which has to support 5G connectivity. But in the base variant of IQOO 3 8/128 GB model, the company has disabled the 5G connectivity. Can I get 5G connectivity in the base variant of IQOO 3 in the future because of the built-in X55 modem?
Please clarify my question.
When you buy, first upgrade does enable 5G radio while second one disables it. It might be possible to root an enable 5G accordingly as long as modem is already there in the phone

But I don't think this will happen as there is no kernel and bootloader unlock support for this device from vivo
Seems nice thread, I was confused for the same..Do you think if we can flash 256gb 12gh 5G enable model rom in 128gb 8gb 4G model?
with latest update looks like iqoo has unlocked 5G.
It's again disabled in OTA upgrade couple of days ago
Where is the change log of these updates?

bro the processor supports 5g but the company hasnt put the antenna for 5g. So the 4g device will not run 5g ?. The 5g was put by mistake in software update and was removed in next software update. Becoz people like you were getting confused whether 4g model supports 5g.

Not sure if anyone experienced this. I bought my S20+ 5G in Sweden (SM-G986B/DS). Recently I'm traveling in China and I noticed that, even there's 5G coverage and i have a sim card which support 5G and i have turned the 5G switch on. I still cannot get 5G signal on my mobile.
I did some search and my carrier is using N78 and SM-G986B/DS supports N1 (2100), N3 (1800), N5 (850), N7 (2600), N8 (900), N28 (700) N40 (2300), N77 (3700), N78 (3500)....So there should not be a problem for my mobile to pick up the signal.
However, a S20+ China/HK version (supports 5G bands N41(2500),N78(3500),N79(4500)) can pick up the 5G signal with same sim card.
So i start suspecting actually there's a lock which preventing my mobile to pick up 5G signal. I read some report that some China version of 5G mobile, such as 1+8 china version or Xiaomi 10, also cannot pick up 5g signal in Europe, even they share the same band...
And that's really getting annoying... Is there a lock? It's a hardware lock or software lock?
In Samsung phone there is Carrier Policy limit bands, features etc per carrier like other devices. I have instruction how you could check supported bands, carrier aggregation and 5G support connected-network with Samsung devices: https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g...ions-from-your-android-phone/#Samsung_Devices . Without modem log hard to say.
S20+ China/HK-version: https://cacombos.com/device?model=SM-G9860 works at least in China Mobile 5G-network.
Based on your observation of the carrier bands, I'd say the mobile providers in China are using using either N41(2500) or N79(4500) for 5G. Checking the list of bands used by country on Wiki, China Mobile is using n41 (and maybe n79 as well), China Telecom is using N78 and China Unicom is also using N78.
Which mobile company are you using?

It's China Unicom and it's N78. According to the Samsung website, N78 is supported by SM-G986B as well. That's why i'm confused.

Thanks, will try to have a look. and it sounds like even the mobile supports the bands but it's still cannot pick up the signal because the carrier is limited?

This could be possible situation. If you like to get modem log from your device there can see if it support 5G in used network. That is only way. Here is instruction: https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g...tions-from-your-android-phone/#Exynos_devices .
Can anyone explain what's the whole deal with the 5G mmWave & Sub-6 ? I'm asking because I'm in Romania, on Orange carrier, and have 5G plan. I had a Xiaomi Mi 11 which had 5G signal, but now with my P6P only LTE. Also no voLTE and no voWIFI.
I checked with them(Orange), they reset my network, tried eSIM, tried another SIM, still only LTE.
I get about 200 mb\sec, but I pay for 1.2 gb\sec(I know it won't be that fast, but with the Mi 11 I had about 450-500 mb\sec, and lower pings in everything). Does anyone know how to enable voLTE at least?
The only thing I could find from Google was this article https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/10082009?hl=en
Have you gotten the December update for your P6P yet? I believe it has some 5G fixes, although I don't use 5G so I can't speak about it first hand.

It's just marketing. 2.5 GHz is the suburban mid-band 5G. mmwave is the very distance limited high-band 5G meant only for stadiums, parks, and dense downtown areas.
Both are marketed as ultra capacity.

I've been reading about T-Mobile 5G. Apparently there are three tiers. The first low wave isn't that much faster than 4G. Then included with UC there's medium 2.4 ghz wave which for me is a lot faster. I live in a medium sized city and I pick up UC most of the time. I was able to get 390 Mbps with medium wave. I haven't picked up the ultra high band yet, which is of course UC also.

The chances are your phone only has Sub6 and doesnt even have the necessary mmWave hardware anyway (unless you bought it in the states) so i wouldn't lose too much sleep over it.

So my 5g phone can't connect to 5g ? Wow...nice move, google.
If it can't connect to the very short-range mmwave. You still get mid-band and nationwide 5G if your carrier has built it out.
But yes, it is a **** move that Google removes the antenna from Pro models that don't include mmwave. They just shove a piece of plastic to fill out the space.

What do you mean it cannot connect to 5G? Sub-6 will still get you more speed than you'll ever need and of course the main benefit which is capacity, also you're not going to have to stand next to the cell site to even get it, you can be miles away to benefit. mmWave isnt even deployed in most countries because in everyday use it is pointless.

Absolute nonsense ..
Here in Austria the pixel is not officially sold, 5G and VOLTE still work perfectly.
5G wont work in unsupported countries. At the ss you can see what country is supported in the Europe. You can just google it if you dont belive it (example: "5g blocked in unsupported countries google pixel")
Google blocks it, and is lying that is that countries operators fault. But it is obviously a lie. The theme is discussed from Pixel 4a 5G. Until now on the other pixels with 5G, you could install the magisk module, which unlocked everything, so how come it's the operators fault, if the lock was discovered in the software. Pixels 6/pro have a 5G modem from Samsung, so maybe that's the fault why you haven't yet been able to unlock via the magisk module
In summary, it's not about any frequencies, the Pixel 6/pro supports all 5G frequencies used in Europe. This is Google's fault alone, they are tardy and don't want to solve this problem, and probably just don't give a **** about the other countries. Best to spam on their Pixel forum and in the feedback, maybe they will finally wake up
I don't know if this helps anyone: Check carriers, their 5G networks & their 5G roaming support for Pixel phones. Make sure and choose your country from the drop-down to see the list of carriers beneath.
There's also the section above that Learn which Pixel phones can work with which kinds of 5G.

you mix between unsupported countries, and official sales countries. there are so many countries which not official sales of Pixel but google just official supported carrier, and there are so many countries that they dont at all.
