I thought that the Axon Pro was now able to support Band 12 , VoLTE, and Wifi calling.
I did try WiFi calling once about a month ago, and it worked, but unfortunately it still costs me minutes.
Normally at home and around my area I connect to band 4.
I drove to an area where according to the T-Mobile map, is suppose to have band 12 coverage.
No matter what I tried, I could not connect to band 12.
Band 12 is needed for VoLTE as well.
Any one have it working on band 12?
Do you get a better signal?
I'm disappointed that ZTE has not gotten the Axon Pro certified to work on the T-Mobile carrier.

I have a Verizon S8 that I flashed with the XAC firmware and so I'm at XAA/VZW/VZW after enabling all bands. However, even though the entire bay area should be blanketed under band 12, I have not once connected to band 12. I'm always on band 4. Has anyone with a original Tmo S8 ever connected to band 12 in the SF bay area? You can check using LTE Discovery or SignalCheck apps from the Play store. The whole reason for me to go through the trouble of flashing the non-VZW firmware was to ensure I would be able to access band 12 but doesn't seem like that worked.
I'm sitting at home on my T-Mo S8 in the SF Bay Area and I'm on Band 4. I'll check at work tomorrow morning and let you know.
If you don't have connectivity issues, it shouldn't go to band 12. As band 12 is a lower frequency and cannot carry as much bandwidth. From what I've researched previously, the phone will only take a band 12 signal if there are no other bands with a stable signal in the area as tmobile got it for the sole purpose of distance and wall penetration achieved at 700mhz to say they have a larger LTE coverage map.
. Also this from experience as my house only gets band 2 outside and when I come inside it switches to band 12. And with the lte booster connected, it uses the outside band 2.
Unless you are saying that your phone goes to no service instead of to band 12, then i have no answer
Dail *#0011# in your phone to see if band 12 is being aggregated with band 4.
If you want to see if band 12 works you could dial *#2263# and select only band 12 to work.

You have to select "Apply band configuration" after you selected the ones you want or they wont take effect.

got cha. gotta hit back to previous screen where i previous selected lte band, but press option 7 to apply setting. lol. still new at this but it works. although band 12 is just as slow as band 4 at home. i get faster speed with band 2, however, lte discover still shows band 4 even though im actually on band 2.
tks again

No prob!
I used LTE discovery before and it always told me i was on band 4 when it wasn't in my area, only 2/12.

never got to try the service modes since i been using verizon brand phones on tmobile , lol. it makes so much sense to use tmobile brand samsung phone on tmobile network.
anyway now i can wait patiently on the root. no need to get network signal guru now to change lte bands since that app requires root
Thanks all. I bought the Verizon version cuz it's unlocked and it was the cheapest at Best buy. Plus it would be a hand me down for my bro who's on Verizon service when I upgrade lol I always thought band 12 was the godsend for Tmo. I did not know it was just a fall back band. I did notice today at work I was occasionally connected to band 12 but would almost immediately reconnect to 4 whenever I checked. Either signalcheck app was wrong or it really only uses 12 for a back up if nothing else is available.
Hey guys,
xda still going strong. nice to see.
need some help though.
i bought a note 8(yes in 2020) for some reason(side device) and i got stuck with a problem right away.
i noticed that TDD LTE bands(band 34,38,39,40,41) are all missing from my device.
i am having an exynos varient (n950f)
i was monitoring my network from past 2 days and 3ca was working fine. i was connected to 3,5 and band 40 all together.
i wanted better reception so went in network selection mode and selected band 5 preffered. i dialed *#0011# to check my ca status and i was still transmitting on all 3 bands with speeds well over 100mbps.
after some time my speeds died and i no longer see band 40 in *#0011# menu and i have tried restarting device and what not but still cant connect to band 40.
i am pretty sure TDD LTE bands including band 40 was missing from band selection menu earlier too but things were just fine. not i am stuck with a expensive device that fails badly.
please help.
on some inspection i observed that my phones is continously doing 2ca even when using no major data on band 3 and 5.
basic is stuck on band 3 and s1 on band 5. me changing to whatever setting in band selection in hiddennetworksetting dont affect it.
tried selecting bands that my operator dont even support. not in preffered mode but as the only hard selection. makes no diffrence. network signals shuts for a second and i am back on band 3 and 5 combo
Anyone who owns the Chinese version of the mi 11 ultra can test it out?
I got 5g enabled in the settings, confirmed selected in the dialer menu *#*#4636#*#* top bars say 5G and an HD symbol on its left which I confirmed is Vo-lte...
Issue is it's not really 5g but LTE or 4g, how I came to this conclusion was by running various apps/ simultaneous 5g speed tests on both this phone and an older Huawei phone I got..
Mi 11 ultra caps at 140+- dl speeds
Huawei caps at 500+- dl speeds
Provider runs 5g on band n78 which is supported by both phones..
Can running the Eu ROM fix this issue for me?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-xiaomi-mi-11-pro-ultra.4260617/post-84978259 Happen to me in xiaomi.eu STABLE. In China ROM probably it's a standard fake 5G icon, when connected to 4G/LTE network..

Thanks for forwarding me there, guess all I can do is try it out and hope for the best otherwise a 12gb/512 is up for sale
n78 is 3.5 GHz 5G band (is wiiide band, is not a 600hz band lmao) Your phone preferred to stay connected to 5G bands more than 4G bands.
Try to switch to 4G network preferred
And check it out your actual speed on 4G
(Huawei supports more bands than xiaomi...due to different processor which is Kirin)

I've heard conflicting things regarding band support on this device.
These are the bands supported by the PFEM10 model, with the bold ones used by T-Mobile in specific for their 4G LTE connectivity:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 26, 28, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 66 - China
The only band missing is band 71, but otherwise the device has 5/6 4G bands needed for connectivity. The reason I'm asking is because I have a friend who imported the device from Hong Kong to the USA and he says when he plugs in his T-Mobile SIM to the device, he can't get 4G connectivity or any connectivity whatsoever. WiFi works fine, but no mobile data. We already called to try to activate the phone and was told by T-Mobile support "this device is not compatible with our network", even though the phone is factory unlocked and GSM-based.
Am I missing something here, or is there more to the picture than just band support?

Try entering the IME numbers in T-mobiles web site(bring your own device page). When I was researching this(I'm on T-Mobile) some were incompatible. I have the global version and have 4g connectivity but no 5G. HD voice also works even though the indicator does not show on the status bar(it shows in the dialer screen.
BTW..forget about AT&T. They wont support the phone AT ALL! I left them because my Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra worked fine on 5g until the 3g shutdown. They basically told me tough nuts so I left for T-Mobile.

Thanks for the reply man, I feel like we're the only ones here lol. I found an app on the Play store that allows you to take the first few numbers of a dummy IMEI and it fills in the rest of the numbers. I copy and pasted some variants of my Chinese IMEI version, and none of them works with t-mobile. I found a dummy IMEI number for the international version of this phone and made a few variants, plug them all into T-Mobile and they all say compatible, so looks good. So I'm pretty convinced that the international version will have 4G connectivity from your reports and a few other sources. I'm actually on MetroPCS but I know they use T-Mobile's infrastructure so I would assume it would be the same thing.
Another interesting thing is on Mint Mobile's IMEI compatibility checker, it gives some good detail... I typed in the Chinese IMEI and it said the phone did not support VoLTE, but I type in the IMEI number for international version and it says that it DOES support VoLTE. So my conclusion at this point is that the Chinese PFEM10 Oppo Find X5 Pro DOES support VoLTE but not specifically T-Mobile/MetroPCS's USA-based carrier implementation of VoLTE so it won't work despite the device having the compatible bands? Does that sound logical?
So do you have the options for things like volte and Wi-Fi calling under your sim settings on the global version?

Yeah,I thought more people would chime in on this lol don't see the normal options for either but when I'm on a call, HD lights up and my calls are crystal clear.
I have now owned the PFEM10 in USA on T-Mobile for about a week and my unit connected to my service almost instantly after I moved my SIM over from my IN2025(Oneplus 8 Pro). Everything works fine but no 5G indicator on status bar. I have confirmed using the app "Network Cell Info Lite" that it does connect to the n41 band however and still can get over 100 Mbps download speeds. HD calling works too.
Also, something odd but hasn't really caused an issue. On my old phone, when going into Mobile Network settings, you would find a "Preferred network type" option allowing you to limit the phone connection to 5G/4G/3G etc. but on this phone you do not get that, or many settings for cell data at all, at least in my experience on the T-Mobile network.
I just received a new PFEM10 and after inseted my italian SIM the roaming is with AT&T 5G and hd voice (see attached)
They messaged me that I can use sms and data but no phone call.
I don't know if is because the phone is not registered with them or something else. Also msg. work on T-Mobile.
Is there any way to get 4g+ on redmi note 11 spes
And also does 680 supports carrier aggregation
If yes then how many bands i.e 2 ca or 3 ca
I have a redmi note 11 with 4g+
It will depend on your SIM, company and signal that arrives at that moment.
For example, in my house I have constant 4g+, but since I use Wi-Fi most of the time, it is not important.
At work it only takes in H+
