Just making sure that band 12 works on the unlocked HTC 10 on T-Mobile. I know in the past many phones didn't have support for it right away.
Yes. Was on B12 all weekend while camping.
Yes works. Wi-Fi calling is also working. Yahoo

In in the Seattle area and not getting the speeds I expected on LTE. I purchased the HTC10 directly, and accepted the OTA. Am currently on 1.53.617.5 with radio/baseband [email protected]_45.00_F. Max speeds achieved have been ~27M down and 7.5M up. I expected to have much better speeds than this - some are getting over 150M down on other devices.
Tried *#*#4636#*#* and selected GSM/WCDMA/LTE but still no better speeds. Curious what others are getting and if they are on same radio image.
Thanks!

Did others receive those speeds on the same tower and at the same time? If you are comparing tests done on different towers, or even just minutes apart the speeds can vary wildly.

Those are, in general, pretty good speeds. People only ever post the rare glam speed tests, but it's not like that's what people always get. Any given day, in a city, sharing a tower with a bunch of people, 27/7.5 is pretty good and excessively usable.
Where I am at the 10 is on par with other devices I have.
All the devices here give me between 65-75 with the occasional 85-90.

I'm getting 5mbps D and 2mbps U where I'm at on ATT in LA this exact second.
It's not the phone, as mentioned it's the network and capacity/load at that time of day.
I've had 25mbps D connections but it's just not consistent depending on location and load.

I work in the Seattle area frequently and a lot has to do with time of day, location, etc. You have a lot of high tech people in a very small area and while T-Mobile does better than everyone else there some times of day and areas in Seattle are just horrible.
Much of the problem is due to jurisdictions putting a lot of restrictions on new site construction as well as site upgrades...
Thanks everyone - I was downtown Redmond today and got much better speeds - around 75 down and 25 up. I'll try by Factoria in Bellevue next week - that's where they test the latest radios in this area and it typically has the fastest speeds.
When holding phone normally to talk, anyone had issues with other person not able to hear when phone switches to band 12? For the past couple of days I am trying to test my new unlocked HTC 10. I was in the mall (Bellevue Square), made a call and phone was on Band 4, then while walking, phone keeps switching from 4 to Band 12 and that is when people just can't hear me, but when phone goes back to band 4, then all is normal again.
Like everyone said, it does work. It did throw me for a loop when I started looking for it (when I first got the phone). As it turns out, TMobile lies about their coverage map Maybe lie is a strong word. They likely put future coverage on the map as if it was already covered. I had the misfortune of picking such an area.

I don't know if you were replying to my last comment? I know that phone supports Band 12 and does connect to it. I am more concerned about mic not working when phone is switching to Band 12 in the middle of a phone call. I re-tested many times and result is the same. Note 5 on other hand, works just fine.
So I got my pixel xl from Google today. It works but I am on T-Mobile and it will not connect to LTE band 4 or 12 which are in my area. I have an ATT SIM for my work which I popped in and it works fine. That said without driving around Atlanta to try to find B2 I cannot tell if it is T-Mobile or the phone. Is anyone else on T-Mobile getting LTE connection at all?
So news today I can connect to LTE. Yesterday when I got the SIM in using *#*#4636#*#* I would get zero reception forcing LTE only. The phone would only connect to UMTS/HSPAP. Today after several restarts and calling T-Mobile and Google support it is now working. Here is what I did.
First Google is saying the update is supposed to affect LTE connecting issues.
Second make sure your SIM is properly registered with your provider. They should elevate the issue to higher tech support to have them look into it. This takes up to 24 hours.
Third go to your dialer do the *#*4636#*#*, go to phone info and change the preferred network type to LTE/UMTS or LTE/WCDMA (I haven't seen a difference between them). (This info is in other threads) Then restart your phone.
The problem seems to be how the phone determines what bands the network provider uses. It defaults to CDMA as the voice connection. For me this meant the phone was always connecting to UMTS only. It seems the firmware has some kind of default setting when it senses an error out the gate. The APN settings and preferred network settings needed to be updated and the phone restarted for it all to work. I now connect to band 4 LTE in my area. I hope this helps others.
I am also getting slow data speeds on my pixel XL connected to t mobile
My XL seems to get pretty consistent LTE service and good speed on T-Mobile.

Google "Pixel LTE band 4 issue"
Weird. I'm getting pretty awesome Band 4 coverage in So. Cal. I also get Band 12 here, but Band 4 is what my phone tends to be connected to, which is fine since it tends to be significantly faster.
I'm in Oklahoma on t mobile getting slow connection compared to my friends. They each have a galaxy s6 edge and get between 70-80 MBs down sitting right next to me. I'm getting 14 MBs down. I just left sprint today for slow connection. Hoping to find a way to get this resolved ASAP.

I only experience the issue in downtown Toronto area and I contacted my carrier, Telus, in Canada. They confirmed that network signal in such area is mainly LTE band 4...
Just an FYI for those with the same issue. Google has asked for my shipping address after contacting them about the issue.

Thanks. I changed mine to LTE/WCDMA. Will know how it goes next week.
All seems to be working on my end.
I was having delays in mms being sent. I was using the default APN. About a week ago I changed the APN to the one recommended by T-Mobile. Mms sends instantly now just about. I don't think it's effected much on LTE but I didn't have problems before. Make sure your on the proper APN
I sure hope there isnt a recall..My XL hasnt even shipped yet and im on Tmo
I spoke with a t-mobile rep yesterday who helped me get my issue resolved. My main apn was set up incorrectly. Now I am connected to LTE and not just hspa+. I get generally good speeds most everywhere and I have tower right by my house that must go fairly unused.
I purchased my pixel xl from Verizon. I immediately installed T-Mobile sim. My data speeds were very very fast. I was on the P build. I could tell that CA was working. CA = carrier aggregation. Since then I unlocked bootloader and flashed Google play image and have been getting updates as if I have a Google store bought phone. The problem is that my data speeds have fallen tremendously making me wonder if 3 way carrier aggregation is working now. My data speeds were much faster than my Nexus 6p which has 2 way CA. Now the 6p is as fast anywhere I go. When I first got the phone I rarely had under 30 DL and 15 ul. Now I'm lucky if I get 15 DL and 5 ul. I've even flashed the P build radio that came with the phone out of the box bit still don't have the excellent data speeds that I first had. So I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this. And is there any way to check to see if the phone is using 3 way CA? Thanks to anyone who may answer with true knowledge
https://www.phonearena.com/news/t-mobile-google-pixel-6-5g-faster-speed_id137167
According to a report by AndroidPolice, U.S. mobile carrier T-mobile plans to bring even faster lightning 5G connection speeds to the Google Pixel 6 handset, with the arrival of next year.
The speed boost will come to both the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro, and was actually first discovered by a fan of the publication who decided to check out the modem log of his own daily driver, the Pixel 6. Both members of the Pixel 6 series carry Samsung's in-house Exynos 5123b wireless connection modem, which was freshly released this year.
The modem log, which he has since submitted and is hosted on 4G/5G Bands & Combos, simply revealed the way that the modem handled both uplink and downlink traffic, employing various channels on multiple different bands of the spectrum. This is known as carrier aggregation, or CA, because use of the available resources is simply optimized to allow for a higher data rate per each cell.
The website 4G/5G Bands & Combos serves to list just such data, which is based on real logs from on-board smartphone modems—since a smartphone or modem maker will never actually tell you their supported combinations for 4G or 5G carrier aggregation as part of your device specs; they simply show you a 4G/5G support category number, and leave it at that.
The new log, when contrasted against the previous one from October, contains a new carrier aggregation combination for two of the 5G bands: n71 and n41. According to AndroidPolice's sleuthing, these are actually a direct match to two of T-Mobile's airwaves, 600 MHz and 2.5 GHZ. T-Mobile has apparently been testing carrier aggregation on these airwaves since 2020, and plans to send it live in 2022.
When T-Mobile finally turns on its 5G network carrier aggregation next year, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro—which already feature millimeter wave 5G reception—will be all set to boost their wireless connection speeds to even higher limits than before.

It just depends where you are at. Those speeds are at my home. I've seen speeds of over 800 Mbps in certain areas where I live, and speeds of about 200 Mbps in others. I've seen others, in different places (somewhere in the east coast) get over 1 Gbps.

I'm lucky if I break 20Mbps. All of us people living in densely populated areas struggle with the speeds being slower than molasses sliding down a tree in the Arctic lol.
Thought I'd just drop in and say I managed to get this speed today with my 6 Pro whilst stopped at the traffic lights in my CBD area (Telstra 5G network in Adelaide, South Australia).
Must have been a really good sweet spot as never seen those speeds before! (My previous record was 700-800Mbps at my workplace with my Oppo Find X2 Pro).

It would've been nice if these sites properly credited me for the modem logs.
*looking at XDA in particular*
I've also since proven that the NR-CA works at a live site on Long Island. One of the quickest turnarounds I've ever done for testing.

This is probably why I get the regular 5G icon and speeds equivalent to LTE. Looking forward to certification...
Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are not yet 'fully certified' to use Verizon's faster C-Band 5G
While the hardware is compatible, Verizon says the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro aren't quite ready for C-Band 5G, lacking "full certification."

I can see LAX from my back porch....not sure what 5g I would get near my house at this point
Yeah, that sucks. I hope they figure it out.
Will they be fully certified at some point?
There's nothing to certify. Verizon is full of crap.
The phone doesn't support the band yet and it won't until at least the February update. This is also why AT&T's C-Band doesn't work.

I think Verizon takes the longest out of the other US carriers to certify phones, but I wonder if Google was put to the back of the line as they were dealing with bug fixes. I dunno
This is just unacceptable whoever's fault it is. I pay for the highest tier Verizon plan and with the FAA delaying c band for 6 weeks should have given Verizon / Google enough time to certify the Pixel 5/6/6 Pro. I'm so annoyed about this and I live in an area where it is super congested and there isn't that much mmwave.
I don't know how Verizon does everything, but I can speak to their excellent obsessive-compulsiveness with regard to tower/radio management.
Spoiler: Story
In the USA, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint (before they merged), and American Tower all use(d) the same software to track maintenance/management of their cellular equipment out in the field, which is what ultimately provides service to their customers--the radios, towers, etc. Verizon was quite particular, however. They wanted things almost completely customized, just for them. Things already WERE customized for each of those clients, but Verizon wanted more. They gladly paid for it. All along their long process of "we want to make absolutely sure that this rollout works flawlessly", they even called us out on a very minor web server issue. It wasn't the fancy and expensive software we were customizing even further, it wasn't the databases customized for them, it wasn't the servers customized for them, it wasn't anything you'd expect--it was the website server software and how a particular URL was being parsed. I listened and silently agreed that it was an issue to be corrected. I spoke up, in private, having done some website management for myself, and referenced the RFC (100% coincidence with regard to my name), but I was really impressed by how particular Verizon was being. Interestingly, the other four clients didn't notice, didn't care, or were fine with it. Verizon insisted that it be corrected and changed. It wasn't always easy to do what they asked, from what I understood, but they paid for it, so it was done and everyone was salaried so they worked long and hard. As far as I know, Verizon's requests were never something which was considered a regression or a step in the wrong direction, it was just difficult and/or time-consuming. It was always them wanting things, however minor or major, to be even better than they already were, if possible; if there was an additional price for that change/improvement, they paid it. Having the best software in the world to manage their equipment wasn't good enough for them--they nit-picked and found ways to make it even better.
Verizon may be slow to do some things, and as a customer of Verizon's it does bug me at times, but less so these days. Things like the Pixel 5/6 c-band waiting and some other "this newly-released phone isn't yet certified even though it's 100% compatible" stuff used to be MUCH more commonplace about 5-10 years ago, but now a brand new phone typically works on release day. However, there's a reason they tout being "America's most reliable network". The stuff that's done behind the scenes is meticulously done. I learned to respect Verizon from a more technical and obsessive-compulsive viewpoint after comparing and contrasting the things I knew of and phone calls I was in on. I think all cellular providers have great service. My personal choice will always be Verizon (I used Verizon since 2001, and now Visible since 2019), and I'm happy to wait for c-band "certification" on the Pixel 6, whatever that entails. We'll probably get c-band in one of the coming monthly Android updates, and may even go back to a "VZW-specific" image instead of the unified ones we just switched to.
