Hi there,
I've had a Galaxy S10+ Exynos version 128GB for a week then sold it to import a Hong Kong variant (Snapdragon) as the battery life on LTE on the Exynos was bad.
On the Snapdragon the battery is superb, but no VoLTE or carrier aggregation (4G+). The 4G speeds suck so bad. Also the keyboard was a bummer for me, didn't know it'd be like this and unchangeable whatsoever unless I use a 3rd-party keyboard.
So, I am considering selling this Snapdragon again for an Exynos one (and I would try to manage to live with its no-so-good battery on LTE). Because what's the benefit of long battery life if I won't use LTE anyways? And for the gaming performance, I do not game that much.
What do you think?
Have you tried to flash different firmware or switching carriers? I don't believe the Snapdragon variant would impact LTE speeds.

4G stands for HSDPA+
Many Operator in Europe (T-Mobile DE, Vodafone IT) support HSDPA+ with >21Mbit.

True but not exactly, because after December 2010 (ITU changed specs a little), LTE and WiMAX can also be referred to as 4G technology even though it does not meet speed requirements of 4G, that is really confusing since in e.g. USA 4G can mean WiMAX...
With ITU (telecommunication standardising body) it's all about the peak transfer capability if technology can reach certain threshold it gets the 4G tag...
This is a bit illogical since e.g HSDPA+ is not that much technologically different from standard 3G family derivatives as it is from "newer" LTE, or WiMAX ... long live confusion.
hope this helps

Um. Being a dev I still only got that bit :L
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
the BBC reported today there is going to be LTE testing in selected areas
the gsm 4g in states is HSPA+ or whatever is called . And the G2x or O2X has i think QUAD bands wcdma , so i think that is why you see 4g . The H was replaced by 4G. In states 4g is just for marketing. A real 4g i can say is the LTE from Verizon , but WIMAX , and HSPA are no 4g in my opinion .

Lets get testing guys, post your findings below
for anyone having problems downloading in your region, find file in attachment below.
Thanks, I will try in one moment xP
Do you know if it modifies kernel or interferes with setCPU?
I sent them a message about it, let's see what they say.
No it don't mess with kernel, I also don't think it adjust cpu frequency as I think it would need root permission, which this app don't require.
Sent from my HTC One X
yepp, I installed it, and looks like what it does is that it organises when apps connect for sync and update, which sounds really good, and others don't do that.
yep, they said:
Thank you for your enquiry.
BatteryGuru does not modify the kernel or CPU settings in and way.

Does TA1005 model have band 12? Some sites say yes, some no? Thanks

I might have an answer to this. I recently bought a TA-1005 SS HK 11A1NB21A05 variant. On the box label it lists these LTE Bands 1/2/3/4/5/8/12/13/17/20/28/38/40/41.
This is odd because for some reason Nokia Support when I last checked stated that there were no variants of the Nokia 8 Sirocco available that supported US LTE bands. On the box label it clearly shows otherwise. Other sites and LTE band checking sites are conflicting too.
Do you know if there is a way to check band locking or available bands from a diag menu? I know of the Info menu available from the dialer, but maybe there are other hidden menus to confirm this with.

To follow up on this I see wifi calling and VoLTE provisioning are good. I still don't know officially if band 12 exists but the phone works fine on T-mobile.

I have a Nokia 8 Sirocco TA-1005 "11A1NB21A05" variant and it does support LTE Band 12.
Hello,
I have a SM-N960F mobile with version SAOMC_SM-N960F_OXM_XME_OO_0018 XME/INS,INS/XME. Mobile network shows a 4G icon instead of the usual LTE icon. Is it possible to get LTE support without rooting the device?

Did you ever come to a resolution? I am considering picking up a SM-N960F/DS Samsung Galaxy Note 9, installing LineageOS 17.1 with MicroG and use with T-Mobile in the US. Is T-Mobile US your carrier? Thanks for your time.
I don't see the issue as 4G is LTE. Having the Icon changed won't make any difference in performance speed

4G is LTE! So rooting will make no difference! Try this app as it allows you to lock network bands! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ray.samsungbandselection&hl=en_US might increase performance!
i spoke to soon 4G is not LTE LOL"While 4G LTE is a major improvement over 3G speeds, it is technically not 4G. However, most cellular carriers now advertise their networks as 4G LTE, because it sounds the same as 4G (or even better). In some cases, your phone may even display 4G LTE-A (Long Term Evolution Advanced), which is even closer to proper 4G."
I havent seen any comments on it yet. Waiting for mine to arrive. Its the HK version. Like Note 20 Ultra its snapdragon like the US version but dual sim like the European version (with similar bands, so it wont get 5G in the US). Snapdragon dual sim Note 20 Ultra has been great but it is literally the last version to get upgraded (its still on android 10 today).
Yep. Got mine yesterday. The exact model number is SM-G998B/DS
No, that's not the same. That's the dual sim exynos version. Yours is 998B/ds. 9980 is the dual sim snapdragon (whenever they add the 0 it's the Chinese snapdragon version).
Any there any review compare directly 9980 snapdragon adn 998B exynos 2100? Are there difference?

If that is your device mate, it must be absolutely boiling or something ain't right.
Does this exynos dual sim phone do 5g+5g dual standby? Samsung says NO on chat while on Amazon it says it does

Some users are stating the SM-G9980 in the US on T-mobile's network are getting the 5G. As far as performance the Snapdragon and Exynos SoC's are comparable however the Snapdragon devices will deliver superior gaming due to their improved CPU. AnTuTu comparisons reflect the difference.
