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

you mean preferred network type? always been in 5G
Try to reset apn configuration and all kind of connection, then switch off the phone for 1 minute and reswitch it on

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.

Just got my Pixel yesterday, noticed that I don't have any sign of 5G connection even if I have everything activated on my sim and used 5g in my area with a Huawei P40 Pro....
I noticed, when I accessed the *#*#4636#*#* menu that it shows my sim card as sim2. I know that on second sim there's no 5g and I wonder if that's the problem. If it is, is there a way I can solve it and make the phone see my sim (physical, and my only sim) as sim 1?

I know that. But it doesn't connect to the 5G network, even if the phone itself is set up to use NR, LTE and all the stuff there. It stays connected to LTE only.

Do you have a 5G tower near where you live? (under Set preferred network type you can set only NR and test it)

Yes, tested with P40 Pro, working. Here's the Pixel
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/9449293?hl=en
Do you have both SIM activated? It says "Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a (5G) phones with two SIMs in use will fall back to 4G networks. To connect to 5G networks, temporarily turn off the SIM that isn't set to use data."

Nope, I don't have both SIM activated. I only have a physical SIM that's in the phone, no Esim and still, it shows it's SIM 2. That's why I asked if I could reset or something and make the only sim I use SIM1, I suspect it has something to do with the phone keeping 5G off for it.
Hello balenax
I have the same issue I am based in Kuwait. They told me that my carrier needs to do some configurations with the manufacturer (Google) and then google will enable it with a software update. The physical sim I installed says Sim 2 similar to yours and once I tell it to use NR only the Network goes away instantly. I will play with 2nd sim and tell you if something happens. Please do update me if you try something

Yes, I think it's similar to OnePlus 8, the 5G connecting is enabled only for some carriers. It's a matter of time (hopefully) but I'm afraid they won't do that for unsupported countries (I'm from Romania and Pixel is not sold here officially).
Our best bet is root and edit the carrier policy files, just as on OnePlus.
I'm not that eager to do that, I'll wait for a while and see, maybe it will be solved by Google and operators.

Yes it's the same for all 5g Androids and unsupported countries, unfortunately. It is really frustrating since the bands are supported. Only Samsung, Apple, and Huawei devices are supported everywhere since they make deals with everyone. I hope this 5g mess gets fixed soon. I am not a fan of rooting my Pixel. I am hoping it will be fixed by beg on Next Year. I just tried installing an esim but it shows up as sim 3 so there seems to be something blocking the use of sim 1. It would be interesting if someone with 5g working to give us a screenshot of the Phone info I suspect that they will be on Sim 1 . If yes is it region locked!
Got 5G working via this tutorial. In Finland Elisa operator. Thanks so much. I also installed magisk module. Btw Im on Proton android 12.

*#*#4636#*#* -> enable DSDS
Yes it's magisk zip. Not sure it is needed. I disabled it after upgraded to latest Proton rom.
Anyone who owns the Chinese version of the mi 11 ultra can test it out?
I got 5g enabled in the settings, confirmed selected in the dialer menu *#*#4636#*#* top bars say 5G and an HD symbol on its left which I confirmed is Vo-lte...
Issue is it's not really 5g but LTE or 4g, how I came to this conclusion was by running various apps/ simultaneous 5g speed tests on both this phone and an older Huawei phone I got..
Mi 11 ultra caps at 140+- dl speeds
Huawei caps at 500+- dl speeds
Provider runs 5g on band n78 which is supported by both phones..
Can running the Eu ROM fix this issue for me?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-xiaomi-mi-11-pro-ultra.4260617/post-84978259 Happen to me in xiaomi.eu STABLE. In China ROM probably it's a standard fake 5G icon, when connected to 4G/LTE network..

Thanks for forwarding me there, guess all I can do is try it out and hope for the best otherwise a 12gb/512 is up for sale
n78 is 3.5 GHz 5G band (is wiiide band, is not a 600hz band lmao) Your phone preferred to stay connected to 5G bands more than 4G bands.
Try to switch to 4G network preferred
And check it out your actual speed on 4G
(Huawei supports more bands than xiaomi...due to different processor which is Kirin)

i cannnot get 5G with my X3 pro ,
only 4 G +, i have global Version , i am from Austria (Magenta) ,with my iPhone 12 there ist no Problem with 5G, what can i do, regards Nico
Ask your carrier. Your phone might not be yet supported by the carrier when it comes to 5G. Usually carriers support firstly iphones and samsung phones....then over time the compatibility is extended to other phones.
In addition double check if you have 5G enabled:
Settings -> sim cards & mobile data -> choose SIM -> Preferred network type.
You can also get a SIM replacement (even if 5g was working on iphones it might not on other phones due to some SIM incompatibilities)
thank you for your Information
ich found it on Reddit
i have 5G now , I am very happy now
Thanks very much. This helped me, too!!!
I envy you, I am very often in the countryside, father is a farmer. Therefore, my maximum is 4g.

Does it also enable 5G SA (Standalone)?
@nico1885 what did you do to enable 5G?
I have a similar problem, I have a dual sim UK BT + Vodaphone although my issue is with the BT sim (standalone or in dual sim). I can get 5G on the BT sim when I swap the sim in and install the APN, sometime later 5G goes away and 4G is all I can get. Strangely this happens on my Find X2 too, I have no problem with 5G on the (many) phones I have. Vodafone seems to get 5G all the time. The BT sim is 5G ready.
Not sim settings have the 5G/4G/3G setting......but once 5G goes away it doesn't come back until I provoke it by say swapping sim1 to sim2...but it will go away at some time
Does it enable 5G STDNOL???
STDNOL, do you mean SYMBOL?
Yes it does show the 5G symbol for the time 5G is on, then 4G/4G+
5G network can only be enjoyed if it's available in your region. Kindly contact your Mobile Operator to check if 5G is available.
i am oppo user but my country have no sppoted 5G technology: Minecraft
Hi. I want to use my poco m3 pro 5g as a cheap home 5g wifi router. Is there a way to force this phone to only connect to 5g and not fallback to 4g/LTE etc?
Thank you in advance.

mtk engineering mode
u can use dialer type *#*#3646633#*#*
in band mode i can choose sim1/sim2 than there are so many bands to choose included only 5g
easy way is go to Settings > About phone > All specs > tap Internal storage multiple times > Phone information (1 or 2 depend on your sim) > change NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA to NR only
Thank you very much.
*#*#4636#*#*
Set NR only
If I do this is in my iqoo 7 it perfectly staying in 5g but i can't make call or recieve the call... please help

I had the same issue yesterday with the Three Ireland network. Couldn't receive or make calls or texts until I switched to 3G/4G also.
I have the same issue now. The "*#*#4636#*#*" method doesn't work, my Pixel 6 phone defailt back to LTE/LTE+. This is disappointing here because at this remote location there is only the one tower. It supports 5G, and when the phone (randomly but infrequently) connects using 5G, download speed is 10X faster. Ahhh technology, copyright and proprietary OS's...
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?
