Hi friends,
I am from India and I am in a sort of Dilemma right now. I need to buy a new android phone and most probably I will be permanently moving to Canada some time next year. I did some research myself and found that most of the carriers in Canada use LTE bands 4, 7 and 17. So if I buy phone here in India which does not support these bands, it won't work in Canada. There are some new phones here in India which support LTE band 7 but not the other 2 bands. Other LTE bands are different like band 3,5, 8 etc. I also learnt that if a phone supports just one of the three bands, it will not work in areas with coverage using the other two bands.
Request someone to please shed some light and guide me in this regard. The urgency is because I sold my Lumia and switched to my dad's discarded Honor 4c which has a horrible battery standby time despite getting a new battery and an upgrade to Marshmallow. The battery consumption is so bad that its literally useless even with all the battery saving tweaks. It just sits on the desk and looses all the battery in just 15-20 hrs. With very moderate usage it needs a recharge very soon and is not really dependable.
Also, I saw that the best way to buy a phone in Canada is through a carrier as sim free phones are generally expensive and there are not many options in the budget segment like we have in India. I can't really make up my mind and understand what should I do.
Hi
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S10 from Verizon and have completely paid it off. We are switching to AT&T soon and I want to know how my phone will be affected by this. We live in a somewhat remote area, 1 bar is normal 2 bars is the maximum I have seen at home. I am concerned that the phone I have bought from Verizon does not have all of the bands that AT&T uses which will leave my phone even less operable.
Thank you to anyone who helps I really appreciate it
Hi, Everyone,
I'm considering Find X2 PRO as my next phone, and it's is time to be 5G-ready after all!
I've tried to seek trough the whole internet including this forum and tech spec., but couldn't really find clear information.
So my question is: Does this phone support mmWave or not?
If no: Is it strictly sub6Ghz on hardware level? Or is it matter of firmware?
If yes: How would phone purchased in EU work in US and vice-versa? Asian phone? Are the frequency ranges any different?
Thanks for your answers.

5G Coverage on OPPO Find X2
OPPO Find X2 Pro supports SA/NA dual mode 5G with global roaming capability in 6 modes and 36 frequencies – effectively enabling global 5G multi-frequency coverage.
In 5G mode, Find X2 devices receive multiple channels of 5G and 4G signals simultaneously in order to establish the fastest and most stable connection. With Find X2 in hand, you’ll never need to worry about receiving any less than blazing fast 5G network speeds.
Experience 5G in full speed thanks to multi-dimensional network speed optimization – Find X2 series adopts 4*4 MIMO and HPUE technology across the full 5G bandwidth.
Antennas Designed for Optimal Reception
OPPO Find X2’s 360-degree surround antenna design intelligently matches the device’s physical position with the best antenna grouping. No more blocked signals – Find X2 delivers ideal reception at all times.
OPPO Find X2 series supports dual-antenna and dual-frequency WiFi so that priority is given to network connection when multiple users are simultaneously using the same WiFi connection, conveniently avoiding network congestion and maintaining optimal connectivity.
4 Find X2 Smart Functions
1. Power consumption optimization: To optimize power consumption, OPPO Find X2 automatically shifts between 4G and 5G networks, according to the smartphone’s temperature, battery, average network speed and application scenarios.
2. DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing): OPPO is the world’s first mobile phone brand to incorporate DSS. By utilizing parts of the 4G network spectrum, users around the world are able to access 5G network at a faster rate and lower cost than other devices.
3. 5G + 5G Wi-Fi: OPPO Find X2 can download two applications at the same time – one using 5G WiFi and the other using 5G network, which theoretically brings the peak download speed up to a whopping 5.9Gbps.
4. NSA/SA Dual Mode: The ability to automatically shift between SA and NSA enables OPPO Find X2 to function at a faster and smoother rate.

Hi! Thanks, but I don't think this answers my initial question. This looks more like marketing copy-paste to me. AFAIK, the ability to work on SA doesn't automatically mean it can handle mmWave.
Announced with considerably less fanfare than the handsets, the Oppo 5G CPE (customer premises equipment) Omni, is a 5G router which gives allows people who have poor internet access, but good 5G coverage, fast Wi-Fi. A domestic hotspot. It also supports low power Bluetooth 4.1 and Zigbee 3.0. Like the handset, it uses a Qualcomm X55 modem supporting mmWave and sub GHz frequencies. This will work in both non-standalone and standalone 5G systems and with enough mmWave bandwidth can deliver 7.5Gbps, with the Wi-Fi running at up to 6 Gbps. There are two sets of antennas to haul in the best possible 5G signal. There are eight sub-6 GHz antennas set up to use the best four to work with 4x4 MIMO and an antenna gain of an impressive 6.7dBi. The mmWave antenna will rotate to get the best signal, ideally with beamforming, assuming the local network infrastructure supports this.
Hi everybody!
I'm thinking about buying this 5G model but there is an issue I found out in a similar model I owned (Mi 10T lite 5G) , and I read in some forums that it can affect the Mi 10 Lite 5G model too.
Does the hotspot function work for more than an hour? especially if you use the smartphone from time to time as you use the function or (oddly! ) if you change the position, inclining it a bit or leaving it standing. Can anybody try that for me or at least tell me if they did have this kind of problem in the past?
Thanks in advance
If number of user connected to network are high. Then some user got disconnected from network. But after sometime you can get internet.
There is no issue with hotspot.
Hey all, I searched for this but only found one thread that died relatively quickly and never lead to any meaningful results.
Essentially my 2-week-old S22 Ultra spends most of the day, regardless of where I am, in 4G vs 5G, which is crazy slow compared even to the old 2-year-old phone I just traded from. It's immensely slow. My last phone was an old LG Velvet that was in 5G constantly. I live in a city almost completely covered by 5G (Denver, CO, USA). I have tried the Samsung Band Selector app, but this returns an error as the new 'update' has apparently removed the option. A second app called "Force 4G" or similar allowed me access to a few "Hidden Settings" I wasn't able to access before, but when I set the 'Preferred Network' to "NR Only" (vs NR/LTE) I am simply given the good ol' grayed-out signal bars.
The S22 Ultra boasted tons of enhanced radio hardware (especially compared to my old LG Velvet), so why is 5G so much more difficult for me to obtain on this device? Is there a setting I'm not seeing, a firmware I'm running that's spotty, or something else that may be fixable? I'd hate to have to return this device or downgrade, but browsing the web and using YT are necessities for me and this 2-bars-of-4G bull**** is getting old very fast.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Is your s22 made for US market?
Who is your carrier? Have them do a network re-provision. I had this issue once with another phone, and that took care of the situation.
