Hey guys just recieved my Note Edge. Its the Japanese Docomo version. I totally misread the LTE band listing thinking it would work with T-Mobile LTE but it does not. But all is not lost i feel. I did some research and there is a way to unlock LTE bands on Qualcomm devices(as the chip does support all LTE bands world wide) It is a amazing looking device BTW and i Am very happy( I can use my Note 4 until I figure out how to unlock LTE on the EDGE for TMO) So i guess i have a few questions now.
1. Would rooting be theoretically the same as a note 4?
2. Would changing the modem once rooted allow for additional LTE bands to be used ?
3. would rooting using the Note 4 method change the note edge status ?
Just some things i was pondering, if anyone has suggestions I can test with the edge and let you know the outcome in the development forum
:good:
Congrats im so jealous. Ebay?
Congratulations on your purchase!! Mine should be arriving by Friday, I can hardly wait.
I hope you get it unlocked soon.
Could you please test one thing for me?
I wanted to know if you have the ticker panel on the edge screen? If so, can you get Yahoo sports information on it?
Regards.
Just chatted with AT&T. No new info on date.
Sorry! Wrong thread. Mods please delete or move.
Glad you got one. I am still waiting for tmobile to open preorders.
As far as the unlocking and rooting goes your probably have to wait. Not a lot of people have them yet. The note 4 method might be the same tho since most parts are the same.

I was thinking the same, im thinking of trying out that root method just to see if it works. but i hope i dont jack it up in the process. Also the ticker does not have the Yahoo one at this point. im guessing because its the Docomo version.

Good luck with trying the root, I really hope it works. I know I will have to root my phone in order to remove all the Korean bloatware that will come with it.
Is it possible to change the settings on the ticker? I think the Korean version will also have something locally based other than yahoo. I hope it will be possible to change to something else?

yes you can change the ticker within the edge screen settings! and it lets you go to the samsung store to find new edge screens :good:
That's great news! I can sleep peacefully tonight.
Is your Docomo Edge SIM unlocked?
Just wondering if you had to do anything special to use a foreign SIM card in your Docomo Edge.
I'm trying to find a way to do it without going through Docomo or going to Japan.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Apologies if this has already been covered, but they've opened up pre-orders for the U.S. market. You can get one for $50 off if you're a Prime member but you have to deal with lockscreen ads... no thank you!!!
https://www.amazon.com/Nokia-Unlocked-T-Mobile-Exclusive-Lockscreen/dp/B071VZKDDP/
Wondering if I should get this or wait and see if they're going to release the 5 for the U.S. market...
I too am debating on wether to get this device or go for the Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra to replace my Nexus 6.

they are saying July 10th, I wonder if I pre-order now when I will receive it.
I have AT&T, looks like its not fully 4G compatible... from what I have seen ATT has LTE 17 as the main band, 5 as secondary and 2,4,29,30 as backup in other markets. and the Nokia 6 only has FDD LTE:Band 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 28
Those are probably the band for the international version because if that were the case it wouldn't be compatible with Tmobile as well.

interesting, I copied/pasted those band numbers directly from the Nokia site for the 6.
from the Amazon listing it says:

Unlocked for freedom to choose your carrier. Compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile networks

EDIT: did a search and Ars is stating it has these bands:
Networks:
•GSM: 850/900/1800/1900
•WCDMA: Band 1, 2, 4, 5, 8
•LTE: Band 2, 3, 4, 7, 12/17, 28, 38
I asked on Nokia's mobile fb page about the missing band 12 on the spec sheet and this is what they replied:
We don't have those details confirmed yet, Chad, but we'll have more updates to share very soon, so stay tuned to our FB page ?
Was going to purchase this phone but not if it's missing the most important band on t mobile.

curious why Ars has 12/17 listed on their band coverage list
I looked around and found that Nokia submitted some stuff to the FCC for changes and this pictures was on a post:

I have AT&T and don't use my data that often, so not [really] affected by the missing band... but I found out there's no LED notification light on the non-Chinese versions! Whaaaaaaa. Between that and the lack of development for root access, I might just get a Z Play. (Have been eyeballing the keyboard attachment Mod so that also helps with my decision.)

I am in the same boat. Have perfectly working Nexus 6 (custom rom/kernel and aging battery), can't convince myself Nokia 6 is worth it.
The Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra has my attention. Ive asked T-Mobile USA if the device will work on VOLTE and maybe even see wifi calling.
Hello ,
i recently brought mate 30 pro from china , the device is pretty cool but i am facing only one issue in India
i can not see option to enable VOLTE because of which i can't make or receive calls/sms on the device.
if anyone could help me with this that would be great , i would prefer a not root method(as i have 2 year warranty and in some time i head back to china ) but root method will also work .
i have tried es explorer and all 4g only apps nothing seems to work as it is Android 10 and major thing being the build.props has only 600 right so i can't even copy :- says permission denied .
Thanks
Even i am looking for a solution to this issue
Mate 30 Pro VOLTE Issue India
Well I am also facing the same issue. The problem is that Huawei India is responsible to take all the network parameters from the telcos in India and then they need to float on OTA patch to enable VOLTE services in Mate 30 Pro for all Indian mobile networks. Reason for Volte not being available is that Mate 30 Pro is not officially launched so Huawei India hasn't tested and worked on Volte for this device. I tried to reach Huawei India testing team to support on this and try to give a fix ASAP but cant get a proper point of contact. If you can reach and push them on this then may be we can get a resolution.
Exactly

the day before yesterday they contacted me and asked more details about the issue and and assured that you will be getting fix very soon.
I have the same problem in the UK. I had both VoLTE and VoWIFI on both my Sims on my mate 20 pro international version. On this Chinese version mate 30 pro, neither works in the UK. I hear that the international version again has both these features working fine.
Would be good for a quick fix as my phone reception can be a little troublesome where I live, so used voice over Wi-fi a lot.

Good to hear this, I am also following very thoroughly on this with china team and they replied in email that someone will get in touch soon to provide solution on this issue. Hope we get a software update soon to enable VOLTE. Please everyone keep posting here for any progress or update.

Hi dears.. Any updates ? I got a call from them today and they said my mobile is Chinese version so it won't support VOLTE in India. If VOLTE is needed for use O should buy it from India if this model is not available then other model which supports VOLTE can be bought.
I had a mate 10 pro Chinese version and it didn't work but changing to UK ROM, it then worked ok. It is a firmware difference and they obviously don't use it yet in China, hence no need to add it.
It is a shame that all of us early adopters have to suffer. It can only be a small change to the firmware to add it to our ROM as a future update. OR allow us access to unlock our boot loader and flash a ROM of our choice.
I too have the same issue
I wonder if I have this issue - well, I guess I do, but the problem I am concerned about is that it disabled the 2nd sim when I make a call on my 1st sim. I want to be able to make a call on my 1st sim and to still be able to use data on my 2nd sim.
Is that the same problem/root issue?
Voice sim is 'EE'. Data sim is 'Three'. Both in the UK.

How did you change the ROM ?
Used Funky Huawei to change my Mate 10 pro. No support for 20 and 30 unfortunately or I would have done so as I can't see them selling this 512gb 5g version in the UK for while yet.

Is this because there's something specifically different about the Mate 30 Pro, or is it more a matter of time needed to Kunky to figure it out?

Hi shobit. Any updates on VOLTE ?
No updates, I was able to switch on Vowifi though but for Volte there seems no other way than root.

Just watched TK Bay a former XDA member and blogger and he said 5G does work on T-Mobile watch on YouTube @16:45 mark
Mine will be here Monday. Can't wait
Here in the Netherlands (T-Mobile) also 5G
in Germany it works as well
Pop up message in UK, 5G available after software update, didn't say when.

That's only the case if you use two sim cards. In single sim mode 5G works from the beginning.
That's right. Wish I'd made a screenshot of the pop up. Wonder when the update will happen?
Tried 5G today on Three UK network, 240Mbps dl / 55Mbps u/l.
Hey guys
i live in switzerland and now i got my hands on a pixel 5. Now I had to find out that Google is doing something stupid and certifies mobile operators for 5G.
Swisscom apparently has no certification, but 5G runs and works flawlessly with the Mi 10 Pro.
Is there any way to turn off this junk so that 5G simply works with every provider?
Thanks for your help
Are you using DualSim? I've read somewhere that in this case 5G is off
Gesendet von meinem CMR-AL09 mit Tapatalk
No im not using dualsim. Even on Network search no 5g network is found ?
It's Google's fault, indeed, I can't use 5G in Romania either. I'm waiting for a while, maybe they'll just allow us, from the countries where they don't sell official their phone, to use the full capabilities.
If they don't I'll just root and I'll do it myself, but I think Google will eventually unlock the 5G connectivity, it's hurting their "official" customers by not being able to roam on 5G or use their phone with a local sim when needed.

It's a similar problem on OnePlus 8, I think. We need to edit a file, carrier policy, and the phone will then allow 5G connections. The problem here is that on OnePlus you can retrieve the file from the phone without root, with a Qualcomm software, and then put it back, edited, with the same software. On Pixel that program isn't working so I assume the only way to access and edit that file is by rooting.
I don't want to root yet, I'm waiting a while. First of all to find out an official answer about the software shipped with the phones in Europe, a presumably KDDI Japan version and second, to see if Google doesn't fix the problem, since there are way too many people affected.
I'm from mainland China. I've ordered a Pixel 5 and just realized that it doesn't support 5g in my country! What a shame Google permit 5g for only specific carriers and block out others, while the hardware of P5 is 100% capable for supporting almost every carriers around the world!
Wondering if Google can see this post and fix that problem via ota.
emmm

Thx. Maybe I'll post there.
Same problem here in the MENA region. Same with oneplus 8 series and Nord. I have a 5G sim and carrier but with these phones including Pixel 5 it's blocked. I don't want to root. It's really stupid even VoLTE is blocked here. (Kuwait)

I think you're %100 correct on this.
Any news after the update? I returned my Pixel for the gap issue but I am interested to see if there are any changes regarding the 5G locked issue...
Got the November update and no 5G yet
I just switched over to esim today with tmobile unrooted, stock, and November patch. It shows 5g in the status bar.
BUT, under wifi and network in settings , there is no 5g where *lte 3g 2g* are.
I guess the above poster is right

Edit. I live on the east coast of PA usa and earlier this was the case.. I just checked again, I have 5g as an option. FYI anyway.
Here Italy, i ordered it from Gemran store hoping to have compatibility with vodafone since vodafone DE has already certification to work with 5G network but still nothing, i tried to flash the RD1A.201105.003.C1, Nov 2020 that is global but no working 5g connection.
I hope in a future update because my sim in OnePlus nord work well in 5g and i get about 400Mb speed that is amazing in italy, with 4g i get 130Mb.
Contacted vodafone support and they said it's a phone problem so I think maybe with december update Google wil resolve (ps in software i have the option to select 5g preferred network but never get attached to 5G where the OnePlus Nord get 5G)
I added root to my device, how can I enable 5g now.. I actually added root just to test 5g
December update still no 5g.
Google recently updated its support page about 5G network compatibility to explicitly state that 5G will work only on carriers that Google enabled it.
At this time, unlisted countries have no selected 5G carrier networks that work with Pixel phones.
