P9 radio switching between 3G/4G

I'm a UK o2 user, I get this where I have to go into the network settings and manually switch from 4G/3G/2G auto to something different then back to actually get 4G
Anyone else experience this?
I'm in a 4G area but I leaving my house and coming off of WiFi doesn't seem to pick up the 4G network straight away without me having to step in

I am with O2 and in a 4G area. I found my coverage was very poor with the p9 when i first got it a few weeks back.
This was actually down to the cover i had bought. Since removing it it all seems normal.

I don't have a cover, it seems to be switching from 3G to 4G it takes forever to switch

Hoping for a way to force the P9 to connect to 4G and 4G only.

Xiaomi mi5/North america,United States usage?

I'm thinking of porting this phone to the states. Now i understand it will not get 4g LTE connection and will limit me to an hspa+ and 3g connection. My question is to anyone who has it in the states how's the connection holding up for you? Does it bug you that you dont have LTE?

Yes, the connection is quite slow. And the 3g signal is sometimes weak even though other phones have very good LTE signals. I unlocked other bands and sometimes I have LTE connections but the speed is usually slow. However, 3g is usually bearable for me.

3g is fine if you are not in rural area.

U should choose ATT or its mvno.

Anybody using Mix as daily driver in London?

Hello all Mix fans.
I`m currently on S7 and looking for a change. Been fan of Mix since it came out, but only now prices have come down to affordable levels for 256GB model.
I`m on Vodafone and I do know Mi doesn`t support Band 20. What would that mean in daily usage? Slow 4G speeds? No 4G at all? Bad reception in weak areas of city/between tall buildings?
I`m trying to understand how it this will affect my daily usage.
Thank you.

If it helps, Im using the mi mix pro (256gb) in israel for a couple of days (received it 4 days ago) and I get 4g/LTE with no problem and I have not experienced any reception issues at all.
You should definitely get this phone (almost passed out during the unboxing from looking at this masterpiece).

Hey, good point.. Im in my room(not in London obviously) with no 4G connection(never showed up, not even a single bar) where my previous device s6e+ used to get 2 bars of 4G reception in the same exact place.
On the street, it's ok but no 4G reception in weak areas as well.
Side note: You'll be missing the quality of s7 camera too.

I've been using my Mi Mix in London for the past week. I'm with Virgin who are using the EE network.
Reception and wi-fi signal is excellent almost always get 4g speed. Excellent phone reception even indoors.
Should not be a problem on Vodafone or EE network. Great coverage.

I'm not in London but I've been using the Mix in the UK for more than 6 months now, so I can offer some general insight.
4G will depend primarily on the network you're on - without band 20, compatibility with UK networks is limited.
EE is your best choice with both hands 3 and 7 used by them (as well as band 20, of course) and particularly since their original LTE roll-out was on band 3, I believe they have more coverage on band 3 than on bands 7 and 20, so it'll be the most consistent 4G service you can get on the Mix.
Vodafone have some LTE on band 7, though my experience is it's patchy - all but non-existent in some larger cities like Edinburgh but I got it in Birmingham. They seem to have focused more on band 20 unfortunately.
Three have some band 3 but I have no idea what the roll-out is like, I suspect not great because they got the band 3 spectrum from EE after the auction when they purchased the band 20, I believe. I could be wrong though.
O2 only have band 20, so if you want to use the Mix with them, you need to accept that it'll be 3G only.

Can't connect to 4G / LTE

Hi everyone,
My P9 (L09C432 ver.) cannot connect to 4g even though it has the supported bands to do so. Specifically, I am trying to connect to Freedom Mobile in Canada who uses band 4 & 7. Much help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have P10 Plus, and im in the same boat. My friend's Oneplus One has LTE. I think this has something to do with Huawei, not the carrier.
there is also a reddit thread
and a screenshot

LTE-A (4G+) doesn't seem to work in my P20 Pr0

Whilst I'm being in area which is 100% covered by lte-a, using the same sim in other lte-a capable handsets (which get a 4g+ lock right away), only the p20 seems to stay only with regular 4g. Is my p20 defective? I already made sure that the high-speed lte is enabled in the menu, and I'm running the latest firmware.

Z0mg, not even one?!?!

Hey, i am on p20 pro and lte_a btw. 4G+ is still available on my Handset.

I've seen 4G+ on mine, but only when roaming. I don't think it supports all the necessary LTE bands.
