[Q] Huawei Ascend Mate 7 LTE Bands

Can someone tell me which bands the phone supports. There has been conflicting information and I want to know if there are different models to look out for.
According to Huawei the phone will support FDD LTE band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28. However the China websites that are currently selling the phones only list band 1, 3 and 7. Is this a mistake or is this different model?

You ask Huawei?

THIS is why I'm waiting until someone figures this out. There's been a lot of discussion around this. Has anyone tried emailing Huawei and asking them?

band 1/3/7 is the only bands available in China, but when the phone is roaming(using on other carrier than CMCC, China Unicom or China Telecomm), all other bands are usable.

Not sure what you mean

Thanks, but what does that mean? You don't specify whether this will work on (as the question asked) on the AT&T US or the T-Mobile US networks for 4G and LTE capability.
If you can provide that information and backup as to where that can be found that this device is compatible and will work at 4G LTE speeds on the T-Mobile or AT&T US networks, I'd be a lot more sure about what i was getting.
Thank you though for responding.

I made a post on the main level of this thread, please go look.
Huawei's current offering of phones is NOT compatible with US 4G LTE bands, they will be releasing one soon (don't know when) that WILL be compatible.
I asked them directly and they responded from the manufacturer directly.
My suggestion, wait until they put out a US-compatible phone.
i don't know WHY none of the press bothered to point this out, useless in total if you ask me. They screamed and oohed and aahed over the device and failed to mention that the one being shown AND being produced currently is NOT compatible with the US-market. Another model that Huawei says is, will be released (no ETA).

Xiaomi, firmware and LTE bands

So In another forum someone mentioned that xiaomi phones with qualcomm chips do have LTE bands used in the west like band 4 AWS, but are disabled by firmware because of licensing costs and those bands not being used in the target market (china and other asian countries)
Is this true? and if it is has anyone found a way to change the firmware to re-enable those LTE bands?

there is a lot out there about it im gonna dig deep into it when my phone arrives just picked up a mint condition for 135 guy had it listed as mi4i but the pictures showed me different
it does have the bands
people have been able to successfully enable them in baseband but they did not get lte i asked what rom and kernel as they can play a roll also

the u12+ is fully unlocked and supports all bands afaik, doesn't matter if dual or single sim. unlocked even supports the carriers and you get the same phone, just different software version. but should work fine

ok are u sure about that ? .Was talking with htc on their chat. but they didn't to make any promises if it will work in us or not. From what i have understood the uk (european) version and the us one has same network capabilities. So in theory the europé version should work on same network as the us one or do i misunderstand ?

If the bands are complete the same, since it's unlocked anyways and both variants share the same bands for GSM/WCDMA etc, it should be fine. You can always buy the phone and test it and otherwise send it back
Sent from my HTC U12+ using XDA Labs

So since I am in the US and have a US u12+, if I RUU using the Exodus firmware, I should be safe, correct?

I go back and forth between Europe and the US, the U11 works there, the U12+ has more bands available. You won't get band 71, unless someone works out an activation hack and somehow the hardware can still use it, even if not the specific band 71 hardware.
You'll get 4G on ATT, you'll get band 12 4G on T-Mobile. If the carriers lock anything out on non-native devices, I don't know. Also the local municipalities may not have certain bands available, either. Too many variables.
A lot of the confusion comes from Samsung and other companies that uselessly institute the same practices as them- they cripple their phones so they can't be used properly on another continent. I would buy an S10, but will be stuck with Exynos and bands not fully compatible with the US, while the US gets Snapdragon, bands specific for North America, but due to the Snapdragon, has a better chance of having the missing Europe frequencies activated.
The idiots pretty much locked out the frequencies for the other continent that would give one 4G, leaving most all others the same.

Question Active LTE outside US?

Got a US watch4 classic LTE version for a gift, Does anyone know is it possibe active LTE outside US by forien carrier? And the carrier of watch should be same as phone? Thanks

Hi what's the model number of your watch? You can in theory use a different carrier to the phone SIM card by using a developer setting in the wearable app, a lot of carriers don't always offer esim only packages though.
The US version supports different LTE frequency to most of the rest of the world. https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-watch4-classic/carrier/
If you check there, and check the supported frequency of the carrier in the country you want to use you might find an option that works.

Question Which carrier in the US would support 5G with the S22 Ultra S908E/DS

Hi, I'll be visiting the US in about 2 weeks and will be getting a prepaid sim for about 6 weeks during my stay there. In the past 5G in the US was not supported as the international variant of the galaxy series was an exynos modem. However this year with the snapdragon modem will there be a difference?
Has anyone tried to bring a global snapdragon version of the s22 ultra, specifically the S908E/DS to the US and gotten 5G to work? I am thinking of either using AT&T or Google Fi. If you have a better recommendation, I'd love to hear it. Or if it won't work in the US, if someone could clarify why, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all the help!

I see, thanks. So I see some of the bands are supported for 5G with Verizon/Tmobile/AT&T/ etc. Does that mean 5G will partially work, or for that provider to work all of the bands the provider uses must be available?

you can narrow that search down to provider, but you would be best researching the area you will be visiting and which network provider has the best coverage, different carriers use a variety of different bands

Yeah I narrowed it by provider, and as I mentioned the phone has most of the networks, but no mmwave and missing 1 or 2 5G bands, but still has 3-6 bands depending on the provider.

its not the phone missing the band, as such, its just bands are split between devices so as to keep the networks from being overloaded on a single band

Gotcha. In the past I've looked at the 5G coverage map, and pinpointed my location. It says that the area is covered for 5G. At&T's map does not say what bands are covering that area though, it just says 5G. Is there somewhere else you mean I should go?
If it's just there, as I mentioned the s21 ultra that I had last year on the exynos modem didn't work. According to the site you shared, the s22 snapdragon international version has the same bands. So you think it's likely that it won't be supported either, or should I be looking somewhere else?

it doesnt sound like it, but its possible that your carrier maybe or have upgraded its 5g roll out its best to compare current/latest checks from your carrier and manufacturer as the dates for other sites, like the link i shared may not be current
