P9000 gets 4G + 3G with Android 7.0 - Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion

Just updated my Elephone P9000 (not Lite, not US) to Android 7.0 by flashing the 20170418 ROM. To my surprise it now supports 3G on the second SIM. The options now are:
One SIM - 4G/3G/2G
Other SIM - 3G/2G (with Android 6.0 this was 2G only)
I hesitate to say SIM 1, SIM 2, because they can be swapped in software. As more countries shut down their 2G networks this feature will become important.

[Q] No LTE in Network setting in N910G (Singapore) - Troubleshooting

Purchased Note 4 from Singapore, Model # : N910G (4G variant). Using it in Indonesia with TELKOMSEL. Bought in Singapore because I wanted LTE. In Indonesia, they are selling N910H, which is only 3G.
Got the USIM Card from TELKOMSEL Indonesia and put it in my Note 4.
There is no LTE Option under Network Mode.. it only shows:
WCDMA / GSM
WCDMA Only
GSM Only
Replaced with M1 Singapore USIM Card and Optus Australia USIM Card, it shows:
LTE/WCDMA/GSM
WCDMA/GSM
WCDMA Only
GSM Only
These options appears even when I put those USIM in Indonesia.
Put my USIM card in another N910G in Singapore (belong to Samsung store), their LTE option disappears
WCDMA / GSM
WCDMA Only
GSM Only
Put my USIM Card in Samsung Galaxy Edge in Samsung Store in jakarta, LTE option is there
LTE/WCDMA/GSM
WCDMA/GSM
WCDMA Only
GSM Only
I used #*2263# and chose SELECT ALL BANDS and just happened to be in 4G area and for the first time, I can see the 4G signal. However, when I went to the network mode, it still does not have LTE option.
Question:
Even though there is no LTE option, does my phone operates in 4G when it gets 4G signal? or the 4G symbol only shows that we are in the 4G area but the phone won't download as fast as 4G because the LTE option is missing and am using the WCDMA / GSM setting?
Isn't it funny that my USIM Card can make the LTE option in another phone disappears?
Try to upgrade
Hi,
Try upgrading your note 4 to lolipop (5).
I had the same problem with you since my device is from Singapore and using in Indonesia when I had 4.4.4 in my note 4.
After I upgrade, the option is showing even I don't use USIM Card.

Showing network types seperately

I am using Samsung Note 4 SM-910G unrooted that runs with Android 6.0.1 with recent June 2016. After upgrading to 6.0.1, the network types of each operator is showing as a single name (for example : If Airtel provides 2G, 3G and 4G in my area, the Note 4 just shows as Airtel in the network search result. In Android 5.0.1, it was showing Airtel (2G), Airtel (3G), Airtel (4G) and so on). Is there any way (without rooting) to show them seperately?.

S7 dual-sim (G930FD) howto working simultaneus LTE4G / 3g2g on both sim

HI
for starters please excuse me for my English (i use g.t.)
sow i have today a good surprise with my S7 dual-sim (G930FD) with latest nougat firmware
- SIM 1 (DigiMobile Romania) to be in 3g/2g mode and using 3g band (2100 MHz)
- SIM 2 (Vodafone Romania) to be in LTE/3g/2g mode and using LTE band (800 or 1800 MHz)
How to:
1. set 4G on the sim you want, then turn off that sim.
2. then for the other sim set it to 3G/2G
3. then turn on the sim that you turned off
4. if done right you will see SIM1 LTE/3G/2G, SIM2 3G/2G. or SIM1 3G/2G , SIM2 LTE/3G/2G
Seems also work here in Germany with TMobile and O2. Thx for this hint.
welcome
thanks seems to work for me as well
Had some problems with sim 2 (data sim) on lte and sim 1 on 3G (H). Incoming calls on sim 1 are going directly to the mailbox. Sim 2 is working properly.
If both cards are on 3G all is working fine.
Can someone check!?

Problem with 1900 Mhz Band (GSM and UMTS)

I recently own a X829 variant with 16S stock rom. Use dual sim feature and this is all I can get in data usage (voice works ok do):
SIM 1: 4G 2600 mhz OK, 3G and 2G 1900 mhz NOT WORKING
SIM 2: 4G 2600 mhz OK, 3G and 2G 850 mhz OK
The phone detects 1900 mhz band (either 2G or 3G) and I can use it for calls, but it cannot use it for data. I want to use the data plan of SIM 1 because I have much better data plan.
If 1900 mhz were not supported (Information says it is), even voice call wouldnt work, right?
Maybe I will need a unlock band feature provided by this user?: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/guide-unlock-bands-leeco-le-max-2-fix-t3439154
Best regards to all
Your using T-Mobile in the states? ( location and available bands might be a factor)
Sounds like maybe just a settings issue. If you remove one sim, can you connect to these bands?
I'm using at&t in the states and specifically use one sim for data, and second for calls/texts, but can only use ONE at 4g at a time.... Can't have both at LTE connection.
I'm afraid not, I'm from Chile so I'm using local providers:
SIM1: Entel
SIM2: Movistar
I already test switching SIMs trays, I know I cannot use tray 2 for 4G/data. but it's funny I can only use 4G in both SIMCards in tray 1, but not 3G/2G in Entel carrier.
So If I use SIM1 in tray 1 only I get 4G, wich is good, but as I move far from city and 4G is not available, it will switch to 3G/2G (it appears in phone tray) and data will not be available anymore.
Install official Chinese s23. From the official leeco page. That will upgrade radio firmware and fingerprint firmware, from there, then you can flash any other custom ROM or stay with s23. Which is stable and good. Also full date wipe is recommended.

I'm not familiar with those carriers, but google says all those bands should be supported. My only other suggestion would be to upgrade the firmware like already suggested.
16s on x829 was made for the states, not sure if that's what's holding you back,
Remember to backup, save your data and modem files.
Ok, so I tried Indian 16s, and a (slighthy) moddified chinese 23s without success, same issue: can call in 2G/3G 1900 Mhz Band but data doesnt work in that band.

mobile bands lost sim cards not working in redmi 4 prime

last night I tried to switch to another lte band by dialing *#*#4636#*#* , I don't know what band I chose , now no 2g or 3g bands and just one sim card works at a time and the one works only on LTE band, so since my operator doesn't offer volte I can't make calls and even receive messages. I found the proper qcm file and flashed it with qpst software successfully but nothing happened. any one have an idea what to do?
