Mi5 64GB slow LTE - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
Since I changed from MIUI to CM and now LineageOS, I have poor signal and very slow download speeds (~500kbps when it works). On GSM or WCDMA I always have full stable signal and reasonable transfers (~2.4Mbps).
There's anything I can do to improve LTE speeds?

I have the same problem, but slow speeds on every band

How to activate HSUPA instead of HSDPA

HSUPA is available at my location and it would be nice for me to improove my upload speed.
I like my ROM but it doesn't support HSUPA. How to switch ON HSUPA? Kaiser Tweaks really does it
I just love it when people post questions that sound like statements to get me excited. And no, I've heard of nothing to let us do that.

I'm probably out of date with some of my figures here, but as I understand it the Kaiser limitations are 3.6Mbit/s download and 384kbit/s upload - originally designed using HSDPA chips and limited with hardware. The HSUPA upload theoretical maximum is 5.76Mbit/s, but is limited to our 384kb/s so no point pushing the boat out for this anyway.
Besides, why go for a mega fast upload speed when the Kaiser doesn't have enough memory capacity to require that sort of upload (<45 secs to dump the whole phone + 16MB card) - unless of course you've got some really good porn that you need to share in a few microseconds before deleting
I found an old 3D where was written that the chip is HSUPA compatible. Whether or not it is enabled in the phone may simply be a matter of a hack.
Well,...maybe the 3D is much too old, forget it!
i agree with peterfnet

To clarify, BlackSpawn, you want to enable HSUPA WHILE keeping HSDPA enabled, correct?
I haven't heard of any mods either to allow the HSUPA to be used, though it is another function of the Qualcomm MSM 7200 chipset used in the Kaiser. Here is some light reading for you that specs HSUPA at up to5.76 Mbps (cat 6). but when you question the htc site, it specs upload at up to 384 kbps (this is what I have found to be true.
This may very well be another instance of HTC not taking full advantage of the chosen chipset, as has been fought on THIS battle field.
If anyone has some good info on enabling HSUPA, please chime in

This is exactly what I was thinking
erm.. i flash 1 rom before and in the setting menu.. there is and option enabling the HSUPA. but sorry, i forgot what rom is that..

I am running the Hyperdragon III january 13 rom.
in the settings under advanced network the is a option to enable HSDPA/HSUPA. Just thought i would let you know this rom has that option.

JellyBean HSDPA slow ..More of a downgrade than a upgrade!

When using jellybean Roms, with every jellybean rom I have tried they are all stuck on Hsdpa 8 which is slow ,, when I am on Gb and Ics when I go into settings about phone it always states network as Hsdpa 11, but when I am on jellybean Roms it always states Hsdpa 8 , what is this all about? how is that possible? is it a bug on jellybean and will it affect data speeds? I have tried different radios and tried a streaming app to see if it rises when needed, it does not, tethering is awful and slow, I expected more from jellybean but its seems like 2 steps forward 3 steps back, limiting the network to Hsdpa 8 is a complete fail.
Well it seems this problem is quite widespread and other have had the same problem, its a real shame as jellybean is really smooth but if using this ROM means being stuck on hsdpa 8 then for me that's not a option, if anyone knows of a fix to up the category please let us know.
The max data speed the i9000 can handle is 7.2Mbps. HSDPA category 8 supports speeds up to 7.2Mbps and category 9 is 10.1Mbps. So even if it says 9 it doesn't mean we can get up to those speeds.

To be honest that's if the HSDPA: 8 in the settings menu even corresponds to the HSDPA categories, which I'm not sure about. Best thing to do would be internet speed benchmarks on both gingerbread and jellybean then compare.

That is not entirely correct. Its not just about the theoretical speed and besides I'm not convinced those specs are accurate. In order to support hsupa of 5.76 it would need to support hsdpa 9 .hsdpa 9 supports multiple duplex connections. I have done multiple speed tests on both category 8 and 9 and 8 is roughly 1.5 to 2 mbps slower.

Wi-Fi boosting methods?

Hi everyone. Is there a method to have a stronger Wi-Fi signal? I experience a lot of problems with the signal strength since I have this phone. Before I had a S3 and my Wi-Fi worked well. Any advice? Don't know if a custom kernel would make the difference (or a custom ROM maybe...)
Thanks!

I don't know if there already roms/kernels with tweaked Wifi. Check Doomkernels topic or try CM based rom.
But I know some general Wifi speed 'tweaks':
Change channel, try channel 1, 6 or 11. Or 13+ if your router supports it.
Try to move the router slightly, or put it vertical, just lay it down.
Try 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz. The 2.4 ghz freq is normally stronger on longer distances. The 5ghz can be better if there are a lot of other devices or when the router is close.
Sometimes rebooting your router can help too Just a simple reboot.

Le2 LTE frequency band selection?

Is it possible to change the frequency band of LTE network in Le2?
Yes it's in advanced WiFi settings
But it's on the sd652 version not mtk one

Thanks I know that. Actually, I'm enquiring about LTE band frequency.
Oh sorry didn't read the question completely

How to force 5GHz when enable Hotspot

On my OnePlus 7 I can force creating a 5GHz Hotspot (internet share). How can I force my Pixel 4 XL to do the same?

When you're in your hotspot settings, press advanced and set the AP band to 5GHz preferred.

Yes it's preferred, but it never works :'(
All 5Ghz devices can support 2.4Ghz networks and 2.4Ghz can reach speeds of 450 Mbps or 600 Mbps. On 4G data connection, you cannot even reach those speeds so 5Ghz seems pointless for a hotspot. Is there a specific reason it has to be 5Ghz?

I will do gaming over hotspot 5ghz

But you don't need 5Ghz to game? As I mentioned " 2.4Ghz can reach speeds of 450 Mbps or 600 Mbps", so unless you have a mobile data connection faster than that there is not need for 5Ghz. A 2.4Ghz could easily serve the fastest speed 4G can reach.
But 5 is a higher number than 2.4, so it must be better......
Well, Geforce Now runs better on 5ghz, maybe it's just placebo ?* ? but it actually does ?
If you were super serious about gaming you wouldn't use wifi .

You know bandwidth isn't the only parameter that comes into play (especially when talking about gaming) right?

Yeah, latency and packet loss are a hoax, screw these new useless technologies /s

If we all had latest gen fiber at our homes the world would be a better place, sadly it isn't possible, no matter how serious you are.
hi i have the same problem with my pixel 3a!
My solution is a mini router for 20€, connect the mobile internet via USB to the router and then connect your devices via 5ghz WLAN.
There is a big difference between 2,4 and 5ghz !!
In practice 2,4GHz does not reach more than 30mbits and the more interferences come the worse it gets.
Over the direct Hotspot of the pixel only 25mbits are usable, with the extra 5GHz router this goes up to 70mbits, so there is a clear difference!
I play over Lte and it works absolutely perfect, I sold my gaming PC last month for 2400€, so I am very happy with cloud gaming.
Here are some advantages of cloud gaming, low power consumption, no unnecessary heat development, no fan noise, mobile use, no annoying installation or updates.
To use it properly you need about 50 mbits, nowadays you can get that almost everywhere, soon also in Africa thanks to Starlink.
I also noticed that cloud gaming, whether stadia (which usually doesn't work anyway) or GeForce Now works particularly smooth on my Chrombook. In fact, even my friends discovered this!

this is like saying "5g is higher than 4g then it must be better right?" sarcastically
please google before spamming your keyboard with ****
