5G on Three UK - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

I've updated to the latest firmware that said it had added three UK 5g support. I cannot seem to connect to 5G. I have it where I live. When I put my sim in my old note 10 it connects to 5G fine.
I've turned off smart 5G as I have no clue what it does but no luck...
Any other three UK peeps with same issue?

Strange. I'm on three but don't have 5g in my area. Interesting you can't seem to get it.

I'm on three and I do get 5G.
Smart 5G disables 5G if 4G is the better options based upon signal strength, if you're planning on using 5G then leave smart on.

I use three and I will have my OnePlus tomorrow. What I should change in menu to connect with 5g network? Currently I use s10 5g and on this device 5g works flawlessly.

It should just work. Just double check in settings that 5g is enabled

No 4g on three uk

Hi got a grey axon 7 from Germany and put a three sim in the phone but 4g does not work. But if I put a Vodafone sim in 4g works OK.
OK got 4g until I changed sim data then went back stuck on 3g again

Settings > All settings > Dual SIM settings > Mobile networks > Access Point Names - make sure your APN is correct, you should be able to Google the correct settings.
By the way, EE is about twice the speed of 3...
I had issues with Three when I was just in the UK. I was getting LTE however the signal was weak and barely worked. My O2 and EE cards worked fine though and stayed connected. I double checked the apn and they were correct, I'm thinking that Three's service is just horrid.
Are you sure you got the European Version?
The US phone only has 1 of Three's LTE bands

Not sure where you're getting that info from, but the US version has the LTE bands that Three uses, which is bands 3 (1800) and 20 (800). I was also checking the bands using LTE discovery while I was in the UK with the US version and it was hitting the bands just fine. O2 works using the same bands and my service was great.

My note 5 is getting 4g but axon 7 gets 4g for 10 seconds after I power phone on then goes to 3g and never goes 4g again.
Bump...
Just ordered my grey Axon 7 from Amazon.de and now seeing this thread. I've got a Three contract for data. Anyone else have any luck with signal using 3 or should I send it straight back ? Has the new software update helped ?
Anyone got a link to officially supported frequencies for EU version ?

How do you compare the Note 5 to the Axon 7? I'm holding on ordering until the Axon 7 will be available in UK, and I am actually using the Note 5 on Three UK.

I'm on Axon 7 US, LTE is working fine on Three UK.
It might be my imagination but I think I even have one more bar on my LTE connection than on my old phone (Moto X Style) at the same location.
The only issue I have with it is for some reason it says 4G on the navigation bar when it's a HSPA+ connection. And when it's actually 4G it says 4G LTE. :/

4g is not ok on this phone with three.
Note 5 -83db on 3g 25mb/s speed test
Axon 7 - -97 to -110db 5mb/s speed test
note 5 -109db LTE 64.6mb/s speed test
Axon 7 no data as never connects to 4g for more than 2 seconds
However on vodafone both phones signals seem the same but three there is no contest the axon 7 is nearly unusable i have regular drop outs, full signal loss, having to put into flight mode out of flight mode to get a web page to load. I will be sending this phone back for a dual sim note 7 believe it or not a phone needs signal first, features second this "phone" got it the wrong way round shame really because if the signal was good this phone would annihilate the note 5 or note 7.

Does Xperia X Compact support: VoLTE, Band 12 and WiFi Calling on T-Mobile?

Hi guys!
Was planning to buy Xperia X Compact, but need to find out if it supports T-Mobile features, such as Band 12, VoLTE and maybe WiFi Calling(not the priority for me). Any person tried this phone on T-Mobile?
I just got this phone yesterday and it's running fine on T-Mobile though I'm in a band 4 area right now. FrequencyCheck (https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/GNNDM/sony-xperia-x-compact-f5321-td-lte-sony-kugo-ss) says it supports band 12, but I have yet to experience it myself.

Technically speaking the phone does support it, but would be interesting to see if phone does support it on T-Mobile network.
Time will tell on this one. Tmobile has been picking up a lot of 700 mhz spectrum lately but it's not all deployed yet. I think it's mainly due to awaiting FCC approval.
Are you guys using the US version? I ordered the UK version and I'm sending the US back to Amazon because I want the fingerprint scanner. Don't feel like flashing the phone. I'm assuming they have the same bands for Tmobile. Well hopefully they are the same.

I'm using the US version. Flashing to enable the fingerprint sensor was pretty easy.

Hopefully nothing goes bad on you within the first year. You lose your warranty with the UK version. The US version is so incredibly easy to flash firmware. You just launch a program and click a few options.
Band 12 works fine for me. I believe the phone supports all T-Mobile LTE bands, I get pretty good speed tests too.
I don't know if or how wifi calling would work. I've never seen a way to get it on non T-Mobile branded devices, I would certainly be interested in enabling it though.

I think Nougat has wifi calling baked into Android itself if I remember correctly. So hopefully the update comes soon.
I'm debating on buying the X Compact or the X Performance. The Performance has a 5 inch screen, not much bigger than the Compact. Anyone with any thoughts on the X Performance ?
Thank You, Vinny

Can you test whether it actually supports VoLTE?
When connected to band 12, try making a call: if it drops to H+ then it supports band 12 but no VoLTE.
If it stays on LTE during the call, it actually works with VoLTE

It does not support VoLTE.
The phone does but TMOb has not certified it to work on their network.

Note FE- is still good choice in 2019?

I have Note 5 and Note 9 and consider sell Note 5 and buy used Note FE for about 420$.
This decision is good in 2019? Maybe keep Note 5 because difference between Note 5 and FE isn't too big.
Thanks in advance.
I love my Note FE but here in the states it has never been reliable on LTE for voice calls or text messages. I run it on 3G/2G to get around that issue. There is a fix with S7 Edge files extracted from the ROM and flashed over to change the country specific code (csc) and enable VoLTE and WiFi calling, but that is no longer available with Pie.
Much love, but I would not buy one today.
All this is without root of course, but I've not been one to root phones the last couple of years.
Exact opposite for me. I use it on AT&T in United States and have no issues with 4g. Yes I am rooted.

Any chance you are using T-Mobile? I am using my Note FE with T-Mobile in the US and have the same problems. I am on Pie and currently rooted, but the issue existed before. I hope that the Note 10 is actually worth upgrading to

I really like this phone. I have an S7 Edge as a hot standby AND an original Pixel XL also just sitting there. This has the best form factor and I dont want to give it up.
As such I've been seriously considering rooting all week. I may pull the trigger to the same ROM you are running (I found the thread) tonight or sometime this weekend. If / once I get it done, I will 'report back' on network performance soon.

Technically I'm not on T-Mobile (I'm on SIMple Mobile) but it is "by T-Mobile" and uses their network. My friend has another Note 7 purchased at the same time in a different area of the country, and is on T-Mobile proper and has the same issues.
On Pie, I am using an app called "4g Fix" from the app store to switch to "WCDMA Preferred" and that solves the phone/text issue with LTE, by disabling LTE. :\
Going to try rooting and running "superfast9" https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...-superfast9-stable-note-7-fe-android-t3921332
Edit: On Oreo, I used to mitigate the issue by loading in the CSC file from my S7 Edge. I tried that on Pie but it doesnt work and won't enable VoLTE.
The best way I found was to Odin back Oreo, if Prenormal exist do the changing date trick in and to activate OEM unlock. Then intall TWRP..root..then flash rom.

I'm testing a customized version of Superfast9 with the TMO csc (osc, technically) from the S8 built in. So far I have VoLTE and WiFi calling and once I'm sure that "weird LTE telephony intermittent connectivity" truly isn't happening, and the original author has OK'd it, I will share it.

OnePlus 8 Pro iN2020 version?

Looking at eBay for the OnePlus 8 Pro has led me to a few listings with the title having "iN 2020"
Is this a specific region designation? Does it differ from the USA model at all?
If anyone has any additional information, that'd be great. Thank you!

IN2020 denotes the region which in this case means it is made for the Chinese market. You may find certain bands are missing so may not work correctly on some carriers.

That's not actually 5G I'm sure, use cell mapper and see if it says LTE+NR or just LTE, If it doesn't show +NR, you're getting a false 5G flag that is reporting a 5G capable tower but you aren't actually connecting to 5G.
See the screenshots below for comparison:

Thank you for this! So these towers can't emit a 5g signal. Do you know why?
Along with the differences, can anyone on TMobile confirm this model works with dual Sims? Wanted to get it on eBay but US versions arent active yet, so need international version as long as 5g works on dual SIM.

OnePlus 8 Pro IN2020 China model support only n41 5G band used in USA. I try list all supported combos used in TMUS: https://cacombos.com/device?model=IN2020&combolist=america_tmus_plmns . This model example doesn't support widely used n71 low band 5G.

T-Mobile is using the upper later indicator (a cell site that supports NR ENDC capability) to show the 5G signal icon in your status bar, not actual NR connectivity. So when you see the 5G indicator, it just means you're connected to a site and band that supports aggregating LTE+NR (ENDC), not that you're necessarily connected to NR.
So even if your phone does not support any T-Mobile 5G NR bands, it will still show 5G in the status bar if the cell site you're connected to supports aggregating LTE and NR together. T-Mobile even has cell sites broadcasting the upper later indicator with no 5G NR signal nearby, so even phones with T-Mobile NR bands will show the 5G icon a lot of the time without an actual NR signal.
The IN2020 does not support T-Mobile N71 NR.

Is it possible to get access to Network roms like Three UK?

I'm after the Three UK firmware because I'm told by Three only their Oneplus 8 Pros have access to all bands on its network including the one that allows VOLTE

I've put the EU firmware on and no option for Volte so flashed it again to the UK firmware and still no Volte option so it must be something in the Three UK firmware that allows the band (800 MH)
On my old Oneplus 7 Pro the Volte icon shown all the time

There is no three specific firmware mate, it's just the EU firmware. Three phones are unlocked.
Wish there was something I could tell you but there's not..
There is no volte option on my phone either, not on 11 anyway. Was on 10.
The person you spoke to from three is blowing smoke up your bum.
If you know a way to test what bands are in use I'll be more than happy to test
Three are telling people this on the Oneplus forum, you said you've got no Volte feature but have it so do you see a Volte icon telling you its on?
I've tried a few Volte apps from the play store which confirm it isn't on mine, have you tried checking to see if you really have it

Mine does indeed allow volte but I don't think its alone there and it doesn't have all the other bands which 5G devices can utilise..
The firmware is just the EU one though mate

So if you turn off wifi then place a call you cant surf the net ? Does it drop to 3g ? I have the volte icon on my in2025 but the apps also show that it's off. Which is a lie / inaccurate.
Edit .nevermind, OP has in2020 which he mentioned in another thread.

Yes with EU/UK Firmware and the same chipset this should be the same 3,4 & 5G on offer in theory

Yes I'm able to surf whilst in a call on 4G/5G
I'm just testing using that app now.
App doesnt say it's active no.
This is the readout from
*#*#4636#*#*
Says volte is provisioned but greyed out. So I think it is on but unable to turn it off.
Like I said it was on and had a visual status bar icon but doesnt on 11
Slightly dubious app though is it functional on 11?

How about if you're just on 4G? Turn off 5G. When I'm on a call using 4G LTE and surf web it stays on LTE and doesn't drop.down to say 4G or in the uk it'll probably be 2G or 3G if I was originally on 4G.

Mine always says 4G
Never goes to 2 or 3G. Since I got the phone.
I don't think the 3 network is capable of 2G, that was kind of its thing back in the day

Mines the same and I note your phone doesn't show the Volte icon as being active either, I don't think we've got it on because my Oneplus 7 Pro would show it

The volte slider it's in the ON position dude
As it is on yours.
As @Limeybastard has pointed out.
Can you make a call and surf the web at the same time? Don't rely on that app.

I also have 5G but it's not required for volte

Yes but then I'd expect to be able to do that without Volte because data and voice would be separate

As long as the radios are the same then you should be good to go. I haven't cross referenced the two models .

Comical. Mines the other way around. Shows volte in status bar for both sims but that menu shows volte off. However disabling one sim then shows those options volte enabled via that menu posted. Rather confusing so to speak. However in practice volte is working.
Edit worked it out. For me, if I select voice call as "ask .." then those sliders in the 4636 menu are off.

Yes got the same after checking but being available and being used are two different things, I've still got no option for Volte and no icon showing its active
