Question 5G connection - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Hi everyone,
Has anyone had trouble connecting to 5G on S21 Ultra?
I'm on Virgin network and supposedly my area has good indoor and out 5G service
I have done all the setup settings and also reset the network and phone but all to no avail
Hope you can help...

Did you contact Virgin Networks? Are you using their device? Many 5G connectivity issues are of a proprietary nature.

You can get 5G with a 5G-compatible device. You’ll also need a 5G plan with us and 5G network coverage. You can get 5G on these devices if you buy them from us: Samsung S21, Samsung S21 Ultra, Samsung S21 Plus, Samsung Note 20 Ultra, Oppo Find X2, Samsung S20FE 5G, Oppo Find X2 Neo, Oppo Reno4 Pro, Sony Xperia 5 II, Samsung A32 5G, Samsung A42 5G, Samsung A52 5G, Huawei P40 lite, Oppo Find X2 Lite, Samsung S20, Samsung S20 Plus, Samsung S20 Ultra and Huawei P40 Pro.
If you’ve bought them elsewhere, we can’t guarantee they’ll work on our 5G network. If your device isn’t on the list, don’t worry – we’re working on adding more devices to our 5G network all the time.
As Above in Italics Virgin admits if phone is not brought from them then they cant guarantee 5G will work which i pretty lame.

can anyone post a screenshot of the display with an active 5G connection? I do have a 5G plan, 5G coverage and a S21 Ultra, and never saw 5G (or similar) in the status bar

Have you found a solution? I have an Att S21u that I cannot get to connect to 5G. I also have a Note 20 Ultra and switching the sim to that phone I get 5G with no problems whatsoever. Both are Att sim unlocked phones.
Edit: I am using redpocket, with Att Sim card.
Edit2: I tried a Tmobile sim card and 5G works. Never had an issue like this before.
I'm stumped.

Airtel Volte on Samsung Galaxy Note 5 still not Working ?

Its been a year airtel launched Volte in Mumbai
http://www.bgr.in/news/airtel-4g-volte-launched-in-mumbai-heres-how-to-activate-it/
But still not so old devices that i have like Galaxy Note 5/ Moto G4 Plus/ Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 are not getting the Full Volte Support.
(Mainly seeking this to be able to use mobile hotspot on laptop to surf while i'm on a voice call).
I just received the 1st August security patch firmware update for Galaxy Note 5 but still Airtel Volte not available.
Who is responsible for this thing, Airtel or Samsung (Samsung is still giving firmware updates though).
I don't know who should be doing the right thing?
Jio 4g LTE Volte works absolutely fine for me for all these devices.
I know the devices i have are not in the supported devices list of Airtel Volte (https://www.airtel.in/volte/)
but i don't understand the how can we get bound to buy specific handsets just to use a feature (Volte) an ISP is providing
Is there any way i can make this work on my devices? Rooting + Patching some file
Someone Please guide.
Do i have any choice or i have to just buy a device first confirming it supports Airtel Volte..or just wait for samsung or airtel to coordinate and make it work for all devices who have the technical capability to support Volte.
Same issue here with Airtel VoLTE on Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Dual Sim.
Airtel VoLTE service is available in my area & I have personally tested on my Redmi Note 4.
Airtel still doesn't support this phone, where as it supports Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge which got released before Note 5.
August 1st security patch is the final update from Samsung for Note 5 & I doubt the phone will ever get a fix for Airtel VoLTE support in future from Samsung.
Even after many days of search, I couldn't find out who is responsible for providing VoLTE support for this phone, Airtel or Samsung?
Its pathetic to see a 2-3 year old flagship devise from Samsung doesn't support VoLTE for No.1 mobile operator in India.
Even budget devices from Xioami & other companies supports VoLTE out-of-the-box.

How get 4g+ | 4.5g on K20 Pro ?

HI guys, anybody find a way for 4.5g on the k20 pro ?
below link is for mi9 but not work on k20 pro.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/enable-4g-4-5g-carrier-aggregation-mi9-t3977213
its impossible ? or not ?
I think that depend on the network provider.
I have Mi9t pro Vodafone carrier, and sometimes i get 4g+ signal on statusbar.
I'm not convinced it's possible on the Mi 9.
If you read the thread you'll see that people have messed up their radio trying it and lost network connectivity. If I had the Mi 9 I wouldn't consider that guide for a second. Looks like a sure way to screw up the phone.
On the stock miui10 I get 4g+ all the time on the Portuguese meo network carrier, no mods.
I got 4G+ at most of the places I have travelled in my country India
In UK 4g+ is when You downloading something bigger. When is only in standby or low speed nessesary is only 4g. Is no reason to be with carrier aggregation all time.
Sent from my Mi 9T Pro using Tapatalk
4G+ / 4.5G should be automatically activated if your network supported these combinations: https://cacombos.com/device?model=M1903F11G .

It depends on provider/subscription but also on your CA capabilities as negotiated by firmware.
Maybe if you have Chinese firmware, Carrier aggregation would not work in the West

Your carrier will need to support it. Sometimes, carrier purposely disable CA during peak hours. You can check whether it detects the secondary serving in 4636 mode.

P30 Pro not supporting VoLTE on all providers

Congstar in Germany (provider in Telekom-Network) now has VoLTE and WifiCall. Unfortunaltely, it works with almost all smartphones, BUT NOT with Huawei-Phones. My P30 Pro can't do VoLTE and WifiCall in Congstar-Network. If I put the SIM-card in other phones, it works.
There are customers from other providers that have the same problem with Huawei.
Why is that?
Yeah i searched to for some days now, and can not find any Option to activate VoLte here in Luxembourg with Tango Provider. I Phoned the Tech support and after 3 Persons i got someone that say to me that for now they only support Iphone and some Samsung Phones...
i will try to find someone with an other Provider and try with oder Sim Cards.
I think this is a very bad design choice from Huawei, to not even show the button, instead of a gray button and say it is not compatible with my Provider.
Model: VOG-L29
Build number: 10.0.0.186(C431E19R2P5)
Android 10
Security Patch 1 January 2020
But they don't do it.

I don't had any VoLTE option in the s20 and note 20 and I asked on the telegram groups about this and yeah if you have a call and LTE at the same time that means VoLTE it's working fine, by the way how I can get in to that menu?

Hi
My Three provider in UK are supporting WifiCall and working perfect on my p30 pro, my wife's p30 working perfectly either.
Regards
Working both for O2 in Germany. AFAIK those are options provisioned by your provider. If they didn't "approve" p30, it won't be enabled. Some providers have an annoying bias towards iPhone and major Samsung flagships. Had EE before for which WiFi calling was enabled but volte not.

Question Anyone getting the Sm-G9980 (Exynos dual SIM)?

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.

SAMSUNG SM-G977N

Hello everyone, I seriously need help in flashing a different rom into my Korean 5G variant as 5G doesn't work, samsung pay doesn't work and it's bloated with Korean stuff and I am located in UAE, is there any solution to that? Please help me as if there is no solution I will need to sell it.
It's not about the rom itself, it's still gonna be the case even if you change it I'm afraid. The korean variant has different 5g hardware so i don't think it's going to work in places other than korea.
I'm not sure that the Korean version doesn't work in Europe! I have the s10 5g Korean version and unfortunately the 5g network doesn't work here at home in my country either and I still can't find a way to get it to work! But when I go to my neighbouring country Germany, the 5g network works normally there! I have VN Custom Rom there, so apparently the Korean version can be rolled out when it works in Germany, but I don't know the reason why it doesn't work in my country right now! Maybe it's some bad settings in the CSC, I don't know! Anyway, Germany told me in the return that the problem is in the hardware! Unless they use a system like Korea .But I can't advise how to start it, because I've been trying to start it myself for 3 months now, but still without success!!! Screenshot from Germany with 5g network !

Yeah i thought that too. Do you know a way to change the CSC on Android 12 by any chance? I can't get LTE+ in my country.
SamFW FRP tool, you can change CSC with it but it probably won't help you to 5g! I tried it and it didn't help me, and now I also tried a downgrade to A11 and also no result working 5g ! Still max 4g+
