Lte discovery might be what your lookin for it will show you band not sure about pairing though but still worth looking in to

Im pretty sure our phones dont show this info.. Ive been in there many times..
Can you show me a screen shot of yours with this info?

Sure, I dont have 4g network overhere

I must be blind.. but where does it show the Band and pairing BW?

If you refer to my post, my point was only that there's a little app that shows the Android service menu. The band is indicated (mine says HSPA - my contract doesn't allow LTE, so I can't say anything about that).

that app your referring to is the same menu as going into *#*#4636#*#*
also, HSPA, LTE, GSM, etc is not the band type, its a network type.. by Band type I mean LTE: Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40, which is also another way to describe radio frequency
as you can see in the first pic of my first post, in the Samsung device, it shows Band 4
but my question was for mindblizzard,

I don't think the phone can show that information

I would assume to see if the band unlock mod works for other frequencies?
I will see if band 20 is unlocked in few weeks once i get my 4g/LTE data package.

That's all fine and dandy, but it's not like your carrier is operating multiple frequencies that you're likely to see ever. Maybe if you live in an incredibly dense population center, but even then... Perhaps I'm missing something.

Fair enough, if you have LTE already, and they are simply deploying a new frequency, you likely won't notice any change, to any of the service. Speeds don't increase between bands, the only reason a carrier deploys a new band, is to fight radio interference from other carriers. Given the cost of a single radio, carriers generally only deploy these new radios in VERY congested areas. Meaning, that in a city that has, say 15 towers, 2-3 of them would actually get the upgrade, in the area that suffers from the most interference. (You have to bear in mind, that a full tower build, requires 6 radios, each radio costing about $18,000 for the radio, another $1000 for the antenna, another $500-1500 for the power supply and cabling. They don't just "upgrade" an entire area, it takes too long to recoup costs)

Ah my mistake, i had in my head he meant to check for bands in the area which he can use with the 'unlocked' frequency mod..for some reason. My total mistake!
However what i meant with what i said when i get my 4g is that i can confirm that the unlock mod will enable band 20 since our OPO is restricted/doesnt support it by default. The band app would be good though!

No luck using the guides for adding LTE bands yet.

I tried all last night and today at adding US LTE bands and additional 3G bands. The phone took and is keeping the new NV values so far. However, as of yet, I haven't had any luck connecting to the T-Mobile LTE yet. With my limited knowledge, I think the Qualcomm chip is definitely capable of running those frequencies however the phones modem firmware doesn't have the coding to do so. I'll try and do a lot more research and figure out if I can pry into the modem firmware. If anyone has any knowledge about it then please share. This phone is simply amazing however LTE would just amplify that even more.
Here are the values I have been using in case you want to try them yourself. I kept all of the native 3g and LTE bands active in these as well.
New Values:
NV1877

2061584367839 (Decimal value for QXDM)
Just a note as well, you need build 422 of QPSD in order to do this. I tried 411 however the phone just kept showing up as an unknown device. Once I upgraded, everything was working fine.

Long time lurker, first time poster here
I'm looking into the same as you, tho I only need to add one frequency to lte to have all the needed frequencies in Norway
Did you have any success yet?

Not long
I have 4 weeks left of my contract, so unless someone finds away to unlock band 20 I will be changing after probably about 25 years.

I do not know why, but after last update, 5.7.2 now I have 4G working like a charm (in Spain)...

Who you with and do you know which bands they use?

I'm with TELUS, here in Ontario/Canada, band 4.
But I'm also on another carrier, BELL, which has 2 (limited areas), 4, 7 and 17 (limited areas)

Has anyone tried this app to enable more LTE bands on the MI Note Pro? Im not total geek in understanding this, but I read on a post that a few people have enabled bands in Europe that were disabled...
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tw.rmstudio.mt.android.ltebandcalculator

Just switched providers today the 4G symbol is there, although speedtest says not as fast as H+ damn.

How do you enable all the bands?

Do you use the same guide for unlocking LTE on qualcomm?
Really interested to unlock the band 5, although band 40 served me well for now...

Hello, I am just amazed at reading the thread you're linking to: that means one can get frequency not listed in phones specs??
I am wandering around xda for two years and I thought this was impossible.
I would love to get the 800Hz's LTE band if it is possible.

NO drawbacks, I went camping with it and I got a better reception comparing to the iPhone 6... My wife had EDGE, I had H+... I have dropped calls because changing the bands, now I don't

AWS would be cool.. is LTE 1900 doable?
I'm doing some more reading and am not scared of a hardhack.. glad to see there's a success story here.
Also a T-Mobile convert here. HSPA+ is still faster than what I had with Sprint LTE (laf), but I got spoiled with my brief foray into One Plus One full on both guns blazing LTE.

Xiaomi Mi5 3G/LTE testing. (In Progress)

Update:
As of 03/31/2016 I'm testing networks that ride on AT&Ts towers seeing as T-Mobile hadn't been working. (Guessing band limitations.) Updated below is Straight Talk HSPA/HSPA+ initial tests. (Tested indoors near Sacramento California.)

I'm getting the Xiaomi Mi5 and know allot of you already have or plan to get it. I'll be posting speed tests for California USA, Sacramento area on various carriers. Post your results, carrier, and region below! (Keep region results minimal if wanted.)
Thanks!

Not that it's my concern. But people want to probably know if band 20 works

I'll be keeping my eye on this thread. :cyclops:

please test the signal (2g, 3g and 4g) if is strong, compared with another cellphone; and how is the call quality and how is the voice,
thank you

Test band 20 please!
Sent from my G3

All bands that I can test will be tested but please do keep in mind that I live near Sacramento California and will only be able to test my area, Tahoe, San Fran.
I will be testing with multiple carriers also.
This is a group effort, anyone who has it, test it.
Thanks all!

Definately interested in this thread, the only two reasons I haven't got a Mi5 yet is because
a) I'm Australian, and they don't support band 28 (supposedly) and
b) They haven't released the Pro model yet.
I do have some questions though, as the first post is quite vague...
What will you be testing? Throughput? Reception? Supported bands?
If you're testing bands...
Will you just be testing in its' completely standard state?
Are you going to attempt modification with QPST/QXDM to enable US bands?
If you can indeed get more bands on it I'm getting one.
I do believe that it's a possibility - I read somewhere (can't find the source now...) that the X12 modem is the first by Qualcomm to have the modem/baseband in the same solution.
I'm assuming the reason some phones could be unlocked and some couldn't before this is due to vendor-specific modem adjustments or different sub-SKUs of the Qualcomm chipset, so I'm excited to see if it's possible.

All reasonable questions.
I'll be testing latency, download, upload, bands on specific carriers, and reception on specific carriers.
I won't be testing any modifications any time soon, sorry.
Thanks!

I've just switched my network in order to make use of Volte and 4G+. Looking forward to seeing how fast it can go. Supposed to be upto 300mbps over here in DK

With the 2G network shutting down in Australia at the end of this year, I'm actually very keen on a replacement that can handle concurrent 3G/3G on each sim.
Would you also be able to test this?

Well, the eBay seller I bought my Xiaomi Mi5 from just said he's out of stock. I'm now in the process of getting a refund and will be trying to get another Mi5 soon.
Keep the thread alive, do some speed tests etc. and I'll keep everyone updated!!

Update: Back on track to getting the Mi5 ?

I'm very interested in this phone. I just want to make sure it works in Las Vegas on T-Mobile LTE.

Most likely no, the LTE won't work.

I found the Qualcomm drivers for the Xiaomi Mi 5 in the Diag mode
Code:
*#*#717717#*#*
With these it should be possible to unlock more bands, at least in theory.

Exynos variant

Can anyone confirm the compatibility of the Exynos variant with T-mobile? Frequency check websites show 100% compatibility but looking for personal experience feedback. Also curious if B66 works as intended in the US.

I just noticed that the service is like just a little worse, you most likely wont notice a difference.

Anyone play around with the idea of loading the T-mobile S8 firmware onto the Exynos international version of the phone to see if that would be enough to get Wifi calling working? Wifi calling is essential to me since I work in a building with great wifi but no service.

You cannot install Snapdragon firmware on an Exynos based phone. This will lead to a brick. The only thing from a Snapdragon firmware you can install I believe is CSC but don't quote me on that.

I was also wondering if flashing the tmobile CSC to the 955F would enable wifi calling. The only LTE band that the Exynos variant doesn't have that T-mobile uses is 66 and from what I've been able to research that's not sued int he NYC area. But wifi calling is critical. I use it a lot to call back home when I travel abroad.

That is incorrect. The 950F does support band 66. I took this from service mode on my 950F

Thanks but there's something weird about your screenshot. Band 32 is out of order and is not used on any Samsung phone. I think that should be 42. I find it hard to believe that there is a typo in the service menu.
I was using frequencycheck.com and willmydevicework.com as my sources. I agree that on this point I'm positive that the 950 and 955 should be the same.

Yeah it's strange and I do think it's a typo. But that's what service mode shows, regardless of which SIM I select.

With the exynos you'll also lose VoLTE. Meaning in areas where T-Mobile is using B12 LTE to extend the range of its network (B12 LTE 700mhz goes further than their EDGE and HSPA network (1700,1900,2100mhz) so if you're in an area and only have B12 LTE signal you won't be able to make or receive calls or texts. And in an emergency scenario if there was no other network for your phone to roam to, you also wouldn't be able to dial 911. Kinda an important feature imo.

I use the 930F on t-mobile and will likely do the same with the s8. If you care about rooting, you should get a 950f. It can be rooted easily and with root, you can get TKKG1994's CSC selection tool and use it to enable VOLTE/Wifi calling). If you aren't going to root, then the carrier phone is good.
I don't know how gigabit LTE is affected but I doubt in 2017 this is a game changer.

G977N and 5G not working

I bought an S10 5G korean version 977N KT branded, my carrier is Vodafone Italy and everything works fine, apart the 5G connection, never seen on the display. Does anybody have the same issue using the korean device abroad?

Korean S10 5G only enables 5GNR Band 78 when certain operator (ie: Korean) SIM cards are inserted. Otherwise inside the UeCapabilityInformation it sends, it only includes LTE Bands (1, 3, 7, 8, 20, 32, 39, 40).

Could a proper firmware or a custom rom solve the problem?

I think it's something in either the CSC or the baseband, but not sure.

Will the new update to Android 10 help overcome this constraint?

Yes right, I do have this model. but do you expect 5G is optional for this device manufactured to support the 5G network!, logically no!!
It is an essential feature that should be available as the other features!
This makes me think that the model is not fully supporting worldwide 5G networks bands and it might be equipped with a certain 5g-modem that supports KT 5g-NR bands ONLY!! . in addition, the low price for the N model also supports this assumption!

BTW Mr. Waterskier, How much the difference in price for the two models since you had got both of them?
