Firmware type for Google Fi? - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Hi,
I just got an S20+ 5G and have Google Fi- which firmware/CSC should I be using, or is there a difference? My cellular service AND wi-fi seem to drop out all the damn time using XAA (unbranded USA).

Samsung Galaxy s20+ G9860 HK on o2 U.K.

Hello,
Can any one confirm they get 5G on there Samsung Galaxy S20+ G9860 Hong Kong version on the o2 Network? This is with the latest firmware.
I have just moved on to a 5G plan on o2 and whilst in many o2 5G areas I never get 5G. It goes to 4G+ but never 5G. I have a new 5G o2 sim etc....
I'm running on the latest TGY firmware and for a short period changed my CSC to BRI and loaded BRI firmware but didn't make much difference. It never went to 5G.
As soon as I put a 3 network sim in I get 5G on sim slot 1 and 2 all day long in 5G areas.
Does anyone actually get 5G on any phone with o2?
Thanks

Question Can 5G networks be used in non-launch areas?

I bought the Pixel 6 Pro directly from Japan and use it. Currently, VOLTE is used through the MAGISK patch, but the 5G network is not available. Therefore, I have a question. Isn't there a way for Pixel 6 Pro to use 5G networks in areas where it hasn't been released?
Currently, the support bands for my carrier are N78 and N257
Not yet
Yes it works, for me in Europe, Austria.
I bought the phone in Europe, Germany.
Funnily I get 5G in Austria (where my carrier is) but not in any other countries e.g. Germany.
But that might be due to roaming. No idea.

Question [India] Airtel 5G and OTA update

I live in India. I have a HK Variant of the Samsung Galaxy S22 (9010).
Airtel just launched its 5G in 8 cities. I checked NetMonster, and the tower near me is 5G enabled.
However, it appears for 5G to work on Samsung phones, an OTA update is required.
Since I don't have an Indian variant, I won't receive this Airtel specific OTA (which appears to have been pushed for Indian Galaxy S22s).
Apart from changing my CSC thru Chimera Tool etc, is there anything I can do? Please help.
You could contact your service provider

I too have the same variant. Samsung Galaxy S22 (9010) -- Taiwan BRI version.
Same issue.
Maybe once the Android 13 stable is rolled out to our devices, it may work then.

I wonder if there are enough number of us out there for Airtel & Samsung to consider fixing this issue.
Requiring an OTA to just connect to a band seems too much of a hoop to jump to, especially if people are visiting from overseas and have compatible bands. I'm hoping you're correct about the stable Android 13 update, let's see how they approach this.
I have heard S22 series doesn't need an OTA 5G update to work with 5G network. It's enabled already. The OTA is only for the mid range and previous gen S series. Due to some 5G bands and implementation. There are some people with S22 series device in Chennai receiving 5G signal without any issues.

Question SM-F936B/DS not having 5g support in Europe (estonia)

So like the title says, i dont have 5g in mt 2k€ phone, what gives? is samsung lazy with the firmware updates? or is the international unlocked phone actually hacing some locked bands? any way to unlock n75/n77 bands? i tried my sim in my australian netgear m6 pro in estonia in my location and it works perfeclty, other phones, older samsungs also work fine, but fold 4 just doesnt seem to find anything, besides competing isp tower and saying unknown frequency and 5g sa, if im not mistaken the int fold 4 should have everything? sa, nsa, all bands, etc? no? anyways maybe someone has a solution for me what firmware to flash or what to do, i rma'd my phone but i am 99.9% sure that samsung validated "repair" center wont be able to do anything like that as i have had different issues with different samsung phones before and they wont flash you anything than baltics firmware
Fold4 has 5g and it's working perfectly no need a firmware update. Witch csc are you using ? Witch firmware ? Did you check and search your provider in settings ? 5g/4g/3g/2g is selected ?
I'm not living in a big city in France and have great signal
5G from Orange Flex (Poland) works perfectly.
The same model. No issues. 5G is ok in Germany.
Same here. Latvia, 5G works fine.
the issue is in the firmware side, one of the operators doesnt work, every other operator 5g works, already got samsungs answer that they are working on a fix for it
