I've only had my Pixel XL 2 for about a month. It was given to me and I know it's an older phone, but I like it a lot so I'm going to use it a while.
Anyway, playing around with the radios and APN's my phone says that there's access to 5G, but I didn't think this was a 5G phone. So is it possible to get 5G with the Pixel 2 XL? I'm on T-Mobile at the moment. We have 5G in our area with T-Mobile.
So like I said I'm curious if I can get 5G on this phone and why it says 5G recommended in my network options and why there's "NR" radio options in the radio/band settings menu.
Thanks for any insight into this!

No way you'll get 5G without the hardware.
That it shows in your settings must be a bug - probably a T-Mobile bug. It is not listed on my phone.

Sorry I've taken so long to reply to this. And yeah I thought the same thing also, that the SD 835's modem doesn't have the necessary hardware to get 5G. I have a Verizon SIM in my Pixel XL 2 now as of the time of writing this, and the NR option is still available in my radio menu. So idk if it's a T-Mobile bug or just a bug with my phone. It still gives me the option for 5G recommended in my system wifi/network/bluetooth menu also. But ya know, never connected to 5G so idk ya know? But thank you for replying!

I'm looking for the phone menu in the HTC that will let me know if it's doing carrier aggregation. Verizon says they're doing it in many of their zones but I have no way to verify. It will have something in the menu like "CA:ADDED, SC_NUM:3" but I currently can't find a menu that would have this.
*#*#3424#*#* shows me the testing menu.
I use viper and looked in the "hidden HTC Info menu" in venom tweaks but it doesn't show this information either.
Any other ideas?

You need to be rooted...

I guess that's a No as 2nd screen shows 1 Carrier?

No one else tried this?
No root here, so no luck.
It's working!
You have the 4G+ icon, and when you start a speedtest and really need more speed it activates the 2nd frequency automatically.
The thing is... Stuff is still WAY to slow.. on 4g Only I get about 20-40mbps ~.~
Anyone knows of a way to deactivate CA?
Yes, if you have the + that means it's carrier aggregated. That's on LOS/AOSP. Not sure about sense.
Hi guys
Interested in getting the S9 (currently own Mate 10 Pro) But have a few questions I wonder if anyone has the answer to.
First off, will the Dual sim model be dual sim 4G like my Mate 10 Pro is, and will it be able to show network state of both sims simultaneously, like shown in the attached screenshot.

Secondly, I had a s8 single sim and it was possible to lock it in 4G only mode via a switcher app, will this be possible with the s9 and if so possible for both sims with the dual sim variant.
Very excited about this phone, the first Android phone with 4k 60fps capabilities, and the first with variable camera aperture.
Cheers for any responses!
I have the S9+ dual SIM and it does run both SIMS in 4G mode. However, I've got the Snapdragon variant , not the international Exynos variant - not sure if that makes a difference.
I used to have the S8+ (Exynos version) and that could only do one SIM in 4G, the other in 3G. You can't use both data connections at the same time anyway so not really sure it offers much benefit, but I do remember reading that 4G is less power hungry than 3G so perhaps helps battery life.
Glad I went for the SD845 version as I hear the are battery drain problems with the Exynos version. The only downside seems to be Bixby vision being set to China for shopping, not a big deal for me as it's rubbish anyway
Latest S9 firmware (CSC ROM) does this , see screenshots at :https://forum.softpedia.com/topic/1...tehnologia-volte/page__st__7632#entry22979249 . Besides, it suports dual VoLTE/VoWiFi now.
I have a note 10 Plus unlock and instead of seeing my carrier name like AT&T, Sprint, Verizon or T-Mobile, it display Samsung. Why is it not showing my carrier name Sprint. You can see it on preferences, about phone, status, sim card status, network, Samsung. You can see under Brand Samsung. Also on lock screen top left says Samsung instead of Sprint.

I don't know how to change it, but you can hide it with 'quickstar' pluggin for Good Lock.
Thank you, but anybody has any idea why is it displaying Samsung as my network operator instead of Sprint
I surely would like to see "samsung"instead of my carrier name!

No idea, but interested in learning the reason! I'm also with Sprint, and seeing Samsung would be nice for a change

I recently switched over from using my Galaxy Note10 which was a AT&T device to my unlocked S20 Ultra 5G. When I made the switch I also changed my plan from the Business Unlimited Starter plan I had been on since last year to the Business Unlimited Performance plan which now gives me 5G/5G+ access. I am in a AT&T 5G area & I can not pick up a 5G signal at all. My city is pretty much covered in 5G and their is a 5G tower not far from me. I've tried resetting my network settings with no luck at all. What issues could I be experiencing that I am only picking up LTE+ & not 5G?
Try this...
First call AT&T and make sure you give them the IMEI and ICCID...then get the Net Monitor App and go to the top right hand 3-dots click dots and click SETTINGS...Then ANDROID RADIO Menu....click okay when warning comes up....scroll way way way down to Set Preferred Network Type and just make sure your are on Unknown per the screen shots below...always remember what is chosen if it is not Unknown in case you need to go back. Please do let us know if this worked? Also, DO NOT change anything else in this app as it could mess with your connection

Just wanted to give a update on my AT&T 5G situation with my S20 Utlra 5G (SM-G988U1). After calling business customer support I had my IMEI# changed from what they had on file for me which was my Galaxy Note10 to my S20 Ultra 5G. This now allows me access to 5G on AT&T. If anyone else has this concern just contact AT&T customer service and make sure your account has your 5G device's IMEI# linked to it.
Currently have a oneplus 9 with magisk root on AT&T. I've been using inlus phones for a long time now.
How are you US at&t users liking the rog 6? Any connection issues?
Root is a must for me but it's looks retry simple to root this phone. Thanks for any help!
As long as you get the US version you should be good. I've been using it for a couple weeks and get really good 5G coverage all throughout the midwest states. Previously I had the rog 5 flashed from CN>WW and it sucked so just make sure you're getting model AI2201.
