[Q] Installed Echoe_Illusion ROM, but no 4G

Hi.
I installed the Echoe_Illusion rom some days ago and I like it
The bad part is that I don't seem to get 4G on it and the network I'm using and the place I'm in sure should have it.
I'm in Sweden and the build number is: Echoe_Illusion_KOT49H.G900fFXXU1ANCE.
Baseband: G900FXXU1ANC9
I'm starting to think that something is wrong with that baseband and my geographic placement, can I test it somehow, cos a test just gives me
about 25M down and 2M up when I saw another guy get 50M down and 40M up in the same place.
Is there a way to check the frequencies with a "secret" keypad code like in my old SGS2, I fiddled with that and got better speeds?
and another thing, is everything with Flash now out of the picture?
Read something that the last version was for Android 4.0, I tried that but firefox just hangs,

Double check the APN and make sure it's correct for your provider's LTE network.

I have, several times although they don't have all the information the phone needs.
Tried to fiddle with it with the result of no network at all.

You don't need any key for check frequency in Europe almost every privider use same frequency
Band 20 (800MHz)
Band 3 (1800 MHz)
Band 7 (2600 MHz)
Hutchison 3 Sweden 800 20 FDD
Hutchison 3 Sweden 2600 7 FDD
Hutchison 3 Sweden 2600 38 TDD
Net4Mobility Sweden 800 20 FDD

Telia Sweden 800 20 FDD
Telia Sweden 1800 3 FDD
Telia Sweden 2600 7 FDD
If you want to know if your sim actually is working with an 3G or 4G network i use a simple apps called Open Signal
Open signal tell you what signal your SIM is working and also the cell number and position where it is connected
If give to you UMTS (3g) mean your SIM / Phone are not able to recognize LTE signal

Signal issue without LTE Band 20 (LTE FDD 800- (B20))

Hi guys..
This is my question: "What are the real problems without Band 20 (LTE FDD 800MHz (B20)) in daily use?"
I'm interested to purchase 6/128GB Chinese version.
I live in Italy, and my carrier is TIM... my 4G works on LTE FDD 800/1800/2600 (B3/B7/B20), and Chinese version has all bands except 800MHz (B20). Is this a real problem or not?
There is a method to know what is most important frequency in my area? I can't find one app that show my my actual band... i want try to test my S4 daily signal to write a map of most used frequencies in my area. Does anyone know what app i can use for this?

Depending on where you live and what you carrier is, you risk not having LTE.
EDIT : If you're living in the countryside, you "need" it.

Sorry but i've launched the thread after wrong click... i've edited the original post.
I know that i risk to lost 4G connection... and i don't want this!
But if i test my area's band, and 800MHz is the 1% of signal coverage.. the problem is solved! (800MHz is short range band, but strong enough to penetrate buildings, but i've ADSL )

If your area is well covered by band 3 and 7 then you don't really need it.
Band 7 : Short range, "bad" indoor signal, big capacity. Great if you live in some big town, with a lot of antennas.
Band 20 : Long range, good indoor signal, "little" capacity. Great if you live in the countryside, with fewer towers.
Band 3 : "between" the other 2.

Ok thanx man... now i need any app that help me to trace my signal, i want scan it in my daily use, to know how much time (and where) i really use 800MHz Band! Can u help me to find an appropriate app? Are three days that i try, but nothing, I can't find the right app.

It needs root. Or at least I once granted it root...

Check this
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/s...-lte-in-deutschland-info-sammelthread.747199/
Picture one is 800 MHz, second ome 1800 MHz and the last one 2600 MHz but this is Telekom (Mercedes). On Vodafone or Telefonica 95 to 100% is band 20/800 MHz.
In Italy you can check the provider homepage. 800 MHz is up to 50 Mbit/s, 1800 MHz up to 100 or 150 Mbit/s and 2600 MHz is the rest (300 Mbit/s and more).

Yes i know the Band20 (800MHz) importance, but in the end i've found a way to know which band i really use in my town (I live in a small town with 60,000 people). Simply using a Service Mode (+#0011#) i can see the actual band in use, and with my great surprise, i only use Band3 (1800 MHz) on LTE and Band1 (2100 MHz) on UMTS!!! I've found Band20 only a few times, and for few seconds. Ex: in my house i use only Band3 (speedtest 75 or more Mbps everywhere in my house), in 2 days no Band20 (but in my house isn't a problem, i've the optical fiber...) - Using my car i've turned around the town, and all town is covered by Band3, even the sea area, on the beach only Band3 (speedtest 50 Mbps)!!! A little problem at my work, in my office i've found Band20 (LTE) and Band1 (HSPA), but Band20 with -115 Dbs and Band1 -90 Dbs, and after many speedtest with Band20 i've max 5 Mbps, and with Band1 max 10 Mbps (But i work in a police central and i've a tons of PC - Radios - and it's really full of interference)!
In conclusion the Band20 is not really important for me! I do other tests and after i decide!

LTE+ plus icon?

Here in Italy I got LTE+ icon with TIM carrier but the speed is almost the same reached in classic LTE: 25mb/s download speed.
The same SIM card used in S7 edge reaches 95 mb/s.
With VODAFONE carrier, instead, I ve never seen the LTE+ icon but just LTE and the speed is about 20-25 mb/s.
Anyone want to share his experience?
Thanks!

Anyone?

LTE+ or 4G+ is at lest a higher form of channel bonding. Try dial code *0011#, *2263# should have band selection,(note this may not always work but did on my note5) it should bring up tower info. Band 2 is [email protected] when LTE+ you will have like band 4 not sure it might be [email protected], this channel bonds to 30mhz with the 20mhz becoming download only vs 10mhz for download and 10mhz upload. The band 4 or whatever your carrier chooses (I have AT&T we use Band 2 and Band 4 as our top bonding, I set Band 2 as favored for default, best performance) becomes the upload only. This makes a + environment like HSPA vs HSPA+.

unfortunatelly these codes don't work in italy...

Ive got a couple of questions and wondering if anyone can help.
Gsmarena lists the note fe as cat12, dose anyone know if cat9 would be supported a cat12 device?
Prior to doing any mods on my n935s, i was not getting 4G+ or the highest data speeds using the EE UK network. On my G935F with the same sim card id would get 4G+ and higher data speeds. Im pretty sure that is due to the fact the S7 was able to make use of 3 cell carrier aggregation. The G935F is CAT 9.
I have installed TWRP on my N935S and then installed the Note 7 BTU CSC to see if my N935S can make use of 3CA, however nothing interms of data speeds has changed. I dont think the phone allows the 3CA connection. I can see from the specs that all the nessacery bands are supported by the N935S.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Does Max Pro M1 support Band 41 2500 Mhz?

Does Max Pro M1 support Band 41 2500 Mhz?
In the specification its not mentioned. Any VF MH user tested this?
Vodafone maharashtra uses band 1 and band 41 for 4G, it will be a big setback if Band 41 is not supported by the phone.

Should i assume it doesn't support TDD Band 41? As no one told in affirmative?
Then Vodafone MH customers better avoid buying this phone, as High bandwidth 20Mhz Band 41 signal will not be pickedup by the phone in Maharashtra and Goa.
It will lead to low throughout issues in those places having good band 41 signal strength.

Still not bad either as it supports 7 lte bands.

Agreed that 7 LTE bands supported, but my telco, Vodafone MH & Goa transmits LTE in only 2 bands:
Band 1 (5 Mhz Bandwidth DL)
Band 41 (20 Mhz Bandwidth DL)
hence its clear that only Band 41 can give quality throughput to Vodafone MH & GOA customers and not Band 1.
Its shameful that Max Pro M1 doesnt support Band 41 considering MH & Goa is a huge service area.
I am going for the elusive Redmi Note 5 Pro now, cancelled order for Max Pro M1 last week itself.
Thanks for your reply though.

should I buy the IN2020?

Hi! Ive been reading and I did some researching but im still confuse. Is the IN2020 the NA version or CN? With the IN2020 can I get 5g using Tmbile? How bad is it? Is better to wait for the NA version? Which band are missing? Any help please!

I'd like to know as well. Bought mine on eBay and it's IN2020 with international ware. I'm on Verizon with no issues but still curious.

I've got IN2020 via Wonda Mobile for the UK and it works fine, it has been flashed with OOS.
I've managed to pick up 5g via Three which was unexpected as I wasn't aware that there was 5g in that area. It's super fast, faster than my 4g in the city but no way near the ones I see in the US. I believe for the US the IN2020 will be missing a few bands so you might not get all of the 5g networks out there.
If you check Wonda they list what bands the phone caters for.

Yeah I have it on tmo in USA and I get 5g works great!

How much download speed were you getting via 5g?

it might show 5G but i doubt it's getting the throughput.
I saw this on chinese a OP7 showing 4G and was just getting 3G speed since it's missing Band 20

Strange the indicator states I have 5g but getting 60mbps, nowhere near the 1gb/sec.
I dropped down to 4g and got 30mbps. I wonder what's going on?
Could be that indicator just says it has 5g as a previous user stated. Damn, sux that it isn't actually 5g but eh works well enough for me.

Okay so after some digging here is what I found: This ebay listing where I purchased my device:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/OnePlus-8-...hash=item342648c8ac:m:m9cL3Ly1MTYuW6lfrhtO1Xg
It states: 5G band 41(2500), 78(3500), 79(4700)
same here: https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_8_pro-9919.php
Looking at the t-mobile website: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/coverage/t-mobile-network
it states: Frequencies that can provide 5G:
Band n71 (600 MHz)
Band N260 (39 GHz)
Band N261 (28 GHz)
Band n41 (2.5 GHz)
so... t-mobile USA supports it?

I just received the IN2020 version today but the OEM unlocking is greyed out????

TMobile 5g speeds are about the same as 4g rates. Maybe a 10% improvement but not much difference. Sometimes my 4g speeds are faster than 5g. Obviously their network needs some help, lol but it'll get there.

Yes this phone support n41 but we don't know can it use US band B2 / B4 as anchor band for n41. Someone please test this in 5G-area. Please then send log to me. Here is instruction how to get log file: https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g...droid-phone/#OnePlus,_Oppo_and_RealMe_devices and that log file can send to https://cacombos.com/contribute so i can parse log if support n41 in USA. on Cellmapper App example should see then 5G State Connected when really connected to 5G-network. Don't trust 5G icon because it appear from UpperLayerIndicator message.

I don't know if in USA have any map where used different frequency. n41 is used in Sprint network but should be available for T-Mobile customer after merge.
Current 5G NR NSA (Non-Standalone) network require 4G LTE for signaling - data could transfered LTE+NR or LTE / NR depends configuration. 5G SA (Standalone) then works only with 5G band but i think take few years to get implement to network.

T-Mobile's N71 is one of the most exciting things to happen to phones. 600MHZ 5g? I would definitely get the IN2025. I just grabbed a IN2025 from Amazon for $899 because it has a damaged box
