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.
Is there anyway to force LTE band change between bands 13 and 4? At home, I have one bar on band 4, but get 60 dl, and 30 up. However, on band 13 I'll get full bars and get 30 dl, 15 up. I don't use my data at home as I am always on wifi, so this cell standby battery drain is murder. If I reset my data connection it will connect to band 13 initially, but it will then change to band 4. Switching my carrier is not an option as T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T get equally crap reception and I'm still under contract with Verizon which ends in October. Maybe then I might think about switching to project fi.
I've seen other threads on disabling certain bands, but those bands are only used by T-Mobile and Sprint, so they are of no use to me. Any ideas?
There is a thread about 4G/LTE.

Further search the play store for 4g switching apps.

I've seen that thread but it doesn't say anything about removing or blocking certain bands. As for the 4g switcher apps they only have he ability to change LTE modes via CDMA or GSM
The last idea, in case you use a Nexus 6.
There is thread with flashable radio's.
Maybe you can find an older radio that doesn't have the bands you don't want.

Yeah, i tried flashing the oldest radio listed and it's still a no go, band 4 still seems to be enabled. :/

No more ideas; think it is not possible to disable band 4, without hacking/patching the radio image.

For now I have my connection as 2g whenever I'm on wifi so that should fix the cell standby for now.

I have the same because here in the Netherlands we have the so called 4G. But when I am home (inside) there is bad connection. Phone calls are disconnected frequently.
With 2G very good reception at home.
On the road I switch to 4G when I need internet.
I use an app to quickly switch 2G-4G.
It's a rather old app of CurveFish and is in the play store - 2G 3G -
I have exact same problem but problem of speed.
There are 3 lte bands 850mhz,1800mhz and 2300 mhz.
2300 mhz has highest speed which i want my redmi note 3 to run on only but in my home it only switches between 850 mhz and 1800 mhz.
Searched a lot but not able to find any guide which allows to lock the frequency to 2300 mhz band only. The signal bar is also 3-4 on 2300 mhz still it connects to 850 and 1800 mhz most of the time unless i am in open area outside house then it switches to 2300mhz band.
Use QXDM

Hi - not sure if this is still a topic of interest, but you can use QXDM software to achieve this - you just need to change NV line 6828 to be "4096" decimal value. On the Nexus 6, this is a fairly easy process as you just need to boot to bootloader and select "BP Tools" as your boot-up option and then the phone will be in diagnostic mode to connect to a PC. There's info out there on XDA with more detail, but as long as you can successfully install the Motorola/Qualcomm drivers you can fairly easily restrict LTE bands to whatever combination you'd like.
Be aware - some say this is a risky operation but I've not found that to be the case. But there is a chance of messing up your device if you're not careful.
Take a look at the "NV Calculator" app in the Play Store for additional info on determining decimal values for the LTE bands (you might want to keep band 2, for instance, as Verizon uses that sometimes as well).
Here's more info on this on XDA:

Hello guys,
I'm using Mi9T Pro with Stock EU rom MIUI 12 version 12.0.4
I have this issue with Xiaomi regarding how the system handles prioritization of Network Band when it comes to using Mobile Data connection.
We know that we have options to prefer 4G, 3G or 2G. But it doesn't define which specific band. Like for example, 4G can be 4G/LTE or 4G+/LTE+. These 2 networks seem to be the same but these actually have different network bands
The question is how does Xiaomi system prioritize which band to select?
Does it prefer the one with higher signal or the one that pings better.
I have this question because as I have experienced, Xiaomi system seem to prefer the one with better signal regardless if it can't even pull any data. In short, it will keep connecting to a network with a better signal strength even if you won't get any internet connection out of it.
I've been noticing this when I set my phone to 4G preferred in my location. When signal indicator turns to 4G/LTE. It may seem to show you that you're connected to the internet but you can't really browse anything because there's actually no data for that band. But when it turns to 4G+, that's when I really get to connect to the internet.
And the biggest problem is that the system prefers to connect to the 4G band. That's why I'd prefer using 3G network because I have a more stable 3G+ signal here.
Another thing that's really disappointing is that my other phone OnePlus 5T handles this well. We share the same APN.
Sadly there's no band selection in *#*#4636#*#*
It would be glad if anyone could provide a better solution to this.
Thank you!

4+ g usually means (specially on Xiaomi phones) LTE Advanced Carrier Aggregation where no other/different bands are used but instead the phone is in parallel attached to more than one 4g band. As such, it increases the speed (and maybe, in your case provides a fail-over?!):
https://www.gizbot.com/mobile/featu...ifference-between-4g-4g-explained-053769.html
However, there is another question why (on that place) you have strong 4g signal with no Internet, so that when your phone switches to CA and in parallel attaches to another 4g band (maybe with a weaker signal) it obtains Internet connection over that second band
At least to better understand on which band (at which place and which base station) you have a 4g signal but with no Internet connection, install an app like Network Cell Info Lite, LTE Discovery, Net Monitor Lite). I think with Net Monster (all apps are on Playstore) you can even see on the map where is the base station you are attached to
If your phone is rooted, you could use Network Signal Guru that will show you, in case of 4+g all bands you are aggregated to with their signal strengths, base stations locations, etc (apps above would always show just one, primary band):

Ohhh thank you for this explanation.... Someone actually mentioned aggregation to me also. This helps make me clear up how Xiaomi does this and that. Does this mean force selection of network band won't work on Xiaomi devices?

I'm pretty sure that with MIUI 11 there was an option to disable/enable 4+, but on MIUI 12 (12.0.2 QFJEUXM) there is no more that option
I don't know of other options (except to prefer 4, 3 or 2 g), specially about selecting bands
choose band mode

Hello everyone,
I've just upgrade my plan to have 5G support, but the phone does't pick it up ( the carrier says it's ok )..
I also searched manually for networks and I find every network even from other provider but NOT a single one with 5G.
obviously I am in a 5G area, center of Milan, and sim slot 1 ( but I recall that was dual 5G, no? )
It's a bug, broken or I played with some setting disabling 5G?
thanks
EDIT: SEEMS LIKE THAT switching preferred types, airplane mode, while outdoor made the phone to connect t o a 5G antenna...
funny note, it's slower that 3g: 5.69mps/0.59mbps
Might need to enable it

If you have the chinese model (not EU or global) you might have some 5G band limitations, and it's also to be taken into consideration which bands your operator is using in your area.
Hi there,
I apologize in advance if the question has already been answered. I searched but found nothing.
And I apologize for my English, I'm French Canadian.
I bought a OnePlus 10 Pro 12gb/256gb, model NE2213 last week.
Everything works fine except for 5G. I only have 4G (LTE) by default but with the 5G settings app I can select the NR option to enable 5G. Everything works fine and I can use 5G without any problems.
When I restart my cell, I again come across the 2G/3G/4G option only, no 5G.
The option seems to be there and functional but it does not seem to be activated by default.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks a lot !!

Besides your APN there's not a huge amount you can do.
Is your phone an actual NE2213 or has it been converted?
If it's the latter then that could explain things..
Thanks for your answer!
This is an original NE2213 model purchased from a Canadian website. It was 30% cheaper than the North American model and I read on the internet that the bands were compatible with 5G.
It's not the end of the world because 5G is not really deployed here in Canada but I don't understand why I can activate it via the 5G settings app but when the device restarts it seems to be desactivate.

Oh ok, crazy, an EU device being sold from a Canadian resupplied does shout region change to me and would explain things..
Are you based in the EU?
No, I live in Canada and I'm on the Bell Mobility network which uses the n66 and n78 bands for 5G.
This website sells different cell phone models less available in Canada (OnePlus, Xiaomi, etc.) but sells Chinese or international versions.
Like I say I can live with it, 4G is as fast as 5G here for now, but I was wondering if there is a solution to enable 5G directly on boot.
Fun fact, when I set up the cell for the first time, it was showing 5G in the top right but when I was done with my setup and turned off the wi-fi it was rendering 4G and i can't choose 5G in the network options.

Just out of curiosity, what's your expected speeds on 5G and what are you getting on 4G..I don't use 5G on purpose. I simply don't need it as 4G gives my 250Mb +
Anyone who needs more then that needs a PC
I did a live test...
5G: 69/3 Mbps (d/u)
4G: 56/5 Mbps (d/u)
I'm at home and wifi is off.
Basicallyt, not a big difference, I'm going out today and redo a test to see if the speed is really different.
Do another test outside of my home...
4g : 61/24 Mbps
5g : 141/44 Mbps.
Big difference this time!

I'd say they're both slow tbh.. in comparison to my 250 or 900Mb on ,5g
Google be your area, but I'm not sure.
Can you force it with the engineering code?
