SpeedTest with France Free provider, poor results
Hello,
I have just made short experience with Redmi Note 8 Pro 128Gb France version.
With the same provider Free, I have made some test and compare with Iphone5 and lgv20. Same spot
Result was :
Redmi Note 8 Pro 20Mbps
Iphone5 Note 8 Pro 50Mbps
lg v20 80Mps
It is just a quick test, but got a bad results.
Version :
MUI Global 10.4.2 Stable

Just tested my Redmi Note 8 Pro against my Poco F1 and via WiFi the Poco F1 is a bit faster - 180Mbps for the Poco F1 download and 160 Mbps upload. For the Redmi Note 8 Pro it reached 160Mbps download and 150 Mbps upload. Both tests made with Speedtest program and on the same spot in my house, same 5Ghz wireless network. For comparison, my laptop goes to 4-500Mbps. It's a gigabit connection.
On cellular data it's the opposite: Redmi Note 8 Pro reached 45Mbps download and 10 upload and the Poco F1 got only 25Mbps down and 6-8 Mbps upload. Again both were next to each other, same spot in my house and connected to the same server for correct testing.
I've seen the Poco F1 reach 8MB/s on cellular before not even once, but not tonight I guess.
I'm very pleased with both phones!
Cheers

You have RN7 with EU rom?

I have RN8 pro, redmi note 8 pro, but I think LTE is not goos in France comparing other mobile, same spot, same provider (Free, Orange)

Hello! I have a little request from you and many other people. I'm one of Redmi Note 8 Pro users and theres alot of us and many of us have only chinese ROM (software) version. You have european, which we all need and it's very simple for you to share it with us, it would help alot of people. Can u help us? To to this:
Go to settings > My device > MIUI Version (at top) > three dots at right top > Download latest package
After downloading it DON'T REBOOT phone, just exit from this manager
Then go to file manager on phone and "downloaded_rom" folder. And there should be zip file which with "PGGEUXM" in name. It's full ROM file, which everybody need! And we cannot find it enywhere
Can u share this file for us? You can use https://mega.nz/ etc. hosting, we would be very gratefull for that!

On my RN7 I was having 4G+, yesterday I buy RN8 pro, and I got EU ROM, btw I am also from Europe, and I have only 4G.. no +..
Why Xiaomi, why??

The wifi speed is lil slower than the other phones. Both phones are connected in same wifi.

Redmi Note 8 Pro doesn't have many useful combinations of carrier aggregation, except B3+B1
I didn't find any similar tools and tutorials to enable LTE+ for Mediatek like QPST & QXDM for Qualcomm

Cellular strength and throughput

Seems good here
LTE speed with the multi tasking ability of this phone is good.
I can download a movie and watch videos with no problem.

Are you getting LTE-A (4.5G) on your Honor View 10? I was having the LTE-A all the time with my OnePlus 5 but I have never seen it on my Honot View 10 - same SIM card, same mobile provider...

I would like to apologise in advance that I am "bumping" my own question but it's important for me to understand if I'm the only one with such an issue. Does somebody get LTE-A on the Honor View 10?
I do not believe so
All I've seen so far is band 5
But with 21+Mbs it seems fast enough.
I don't think it's been implemented where I'm at.. Just 4g lte
i also wonder if Honor View 10 support LTE-A because i ask honor admin at facebook they said that honor view 10 does not support LTE-A. but in GSM arena it state that view 10 support LTE-A. i buy this phone because it nice features include LTE-A. but unfortunately im really disappointing when they said it not support it. Based on my research i found that the processor support LTE-A but other state that the antenna does not support LTE-A. i dont have any idea about this before. anyone got HONOR VIEW 10 LTE-A?

Is Volte = LTE-A at all? you can root and install magisk, download a module call VoEnabler, after that go to "mobile setting" ->a new option call "volte", and you can try to see if have any difference
I've never had an issue with the cell signal on the Honor View 10. I have great signal most places I go.

rn7 vs mi 8 lite

I have about 250 dollars right now so I can buy either the Redmi Note 7 or the Mi 8 Lite, what do you guys suggest I purchase?
I'm looking to install twrp on the device and flash a custom firmware
Well, both phones are great quality. The Redmi Note 7 has a bigger battery but the Mi 8 Lite feels more premium to the hand (at least that's what I've heard).
Anyway, If you want to install a Custom ROM and don't want to wait for them to be developed, buy the Mi 8 Lite, the forums have a bigger base and more variety of ROMs. If you don't mind waiting, the Redmi Note 7 is totally a good choice.

I agree. I have the RN7 it's a great phone but if u want roms all u can choose from for now is Xiaomi.EU CN and global MIUI roms. Hopefully this changes in the future but the battery life is phenomenal. Trust me on that. Also it seemed to have better signal in the US than my Samsung S9+ I think its cos the software shows u LTE instead of 4G but I dunno, it works that's all that matters

Oh you're using the RN7 in the USA?
I live there too and I was reluctant to purchase this phone because it doesn't have bands 2, 4 or 12 that T-Mobile uses.
What carrier are you using and do you remember what website you purchased the phone off of?
Thanks a lot!

Got it off aliexpress. Mi store. I use Cricket on it so I'm throttled to 3MBs. It worked easily and happily. Honestly for tmobile, I would advise against it except u want to stick to H+ AWS

I believe this should be moved/posted in the Redmi Note 8 Pro thread instead.
Specs for Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8 Pro is quite different.

Redmi note 8 China version any chance of unlock lte bands. H+ is terribly slow.

So far I've had issues. Don't get speeds past 4mbps, which is unacceptable

5G in German Vodafone Network on Xiaomi Mix 3 5G

Hello everyone,
I was trying to find information about the Xiaomi Mix 3 5G but somehow I couldnt.
Just today I got the Xiaomi Mix 3 5G phone for a very good price and thought it would be nice to upgrade to 5g. My contract has 5g included, although the coverage of the german vodafone network is quite poor (yet). I found a map on their website that shows precisely where they deliver and in my city (Düsseldorf, fortunately the headquarter of Vodafone Germany). I can see the Vodafone Campus from my balkony and decided to walk over. I could even see the 5g antennas on the head quarters garage but my phone stayed in the 4g+ network. I have called them already, they said it is not a problem from their side.
Anyway, in my phone options I can choose between my preferred network types and it gives me the options "2g", "3g" or "Prefer LTE" - now the question is, if "LTE" includes 5g as well or only 4g.
The information in the internet is really rare. The Xiaomi product website says the 5G functionallity will be rolled out in an OTA update, "when depends your region". The phone as been released almost 1 year ago so i guess it should be working.
Do you have any additional information about the hardware/software status?
Thanks a lot

unlock N77 band on oneplus 8 Pro

I am living in a region which only got n77 for 5G network
Just wondering can it be done via pc software editing or something like the volte method.
Its brother find x2 pro comes with n77 by default, but it is not officially available on onelpus 8 pro.
I'm trying to find out about unlocking bands using regional firmware but even Oneplus aren't giving me a straight forward answer on this
I brought oneplus 8t 5g from India to Bangkok. operator in Thailand(AIS) uses N41 Band and in India N78... Here 5g is not working, what can i do to make it work.. kindly help
My 8 pro in my (network) country does not have 5g. (I have a new 5g SIM)
I talk to OnePlus tech and they say that it will be solved in future updates.
It will be faster if each one of you talk to Oneplus tech and they see that many people need more 5g bands.

I am trying to talk to them almost on daily basis but they are providing any solution for the problem. Poor customer service from them
