I"ve yet to get any connection on 5G around me since switching to T-mobile last week. not a huge deal since I very very rarely ever need data but it still bothers me a bit. there are 5g bands that Tmobile uses that wont' work with this phone from the charts I've seen and I think thats the problem in the Pittsburgh area

Yep: TMo has a patchwork of frequencies, and in some places it'll be great and in others it'll be literally non existent.

I live in the bay area, I rarely get 5g, but when I do it's crazy fast.
Do any of you have 5g aggregation on in developer mode? Do y'all experience any different with it on vs off?
Also, for TMobile are y'all on epc or fast apn?
In advance setting, do y'all have 5g smart switch on or off? Does that also help?

I am impressed, T-Mobile (RE: 3G speeds).

The fastest I ever saw on Sprint's 4G was 7Mbps! This is extremely impressive!
I live in Northern NJ and I regularly get 4.25-5.25 Mbps on my Nexus One. TMo has really good coverage around here... The fastest I have ever had was 5.60 Mbps. And that is without hspa+ . I can only imagine what I would get running a G2...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Found this on my old EVO's SD card backup folder. My fastest Sprint 3G test:
T-Mobile is very impressive indeed

I've hit these speeds a couple of times here in Chicago. HSPA+ is here to stay. Can't wait until they expand coverage.

Change modem to get different bands

Hey guys,
I have this D821 which doesnt have the bands for LTE that my country has. The one that works with the LTE bands here is the D820.
Now, I also have a smashed D820 laying around, with a cracked LCD and I believe the motherboard is not working well either. But I have used the battery, and the audio jack to replace the ones on my D821.
I was wondering if it would be possible to change some of the internals from one phone to the other in order to be able to get LTE bands here.
I found this photo of the Nexus Internals

Do you guys know which part I would need to change in order to be able to get LTE bands? Or if this even possible? Anyone has done something like this before?
Sorry for the poor english.
Service manuals are here. You may be able to find answers to your questions in there.

T-Mobile wifi calling

I currently have the Moto X pure and was thinking of getting the HTC U11. I'm on T-Mobile and was hoping someone could let me know how the reception is and whether wifi calling works.
Thanks
Better service than iPhone 6s side by side. WiFi calling works fine although I've always felt iPhone handled WiFi calling better in terms of handoff.

T-Mobile here and I use WiFi calling every day; works great for me. Reception is good in areas where they have coverage. I have no coverage at my house, which is why I use WiFi calling every day.

Ulefone Power 3S in Canada - Where is VoLTE option ?

So I was seduced by this phone, I was hesitating between this one and the Xiaomi Redmi plus. The Redmi was a bit too big to fit well in my belt holster. The thing is, I didn't know that much about network requirements. I thought that if I have LTE, I'm all good, but I need 2G or 3G for calls !!!
I'm in Canada. Zero support for 3G, I then tested a few carriers and Rogers/Fido support the same 2G as my phone, so now I can make calls but I don't have LTE tower from Rogers here that is compatible with my phone (Band 7 only), so I'm stuck in 2G for data. I have full LTE speed with Bell, but no phone calls. I'd rather stay with Bell, but I need to activate VoLTE, the option is not there. I'd like to confirm that I can flash my phone with the patch (ref here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/enable-volte-flashable-nougat-phone-t3693152). Or should I wait for Oreo which should get to the phone in May ?

unlocked on VZW

Does the unlocked version work on Verizon? Specifically 5G. I've seen some stories say yes and some say no.
I currently have a 6T and want to upgrade.
It works like all 1+ from your 6T onward. So far only 4G. Even though VZW turned on the (Nationwide) NSA low bands n2 n5 n66, the phone doesn't connect to them in 5G mode.I verified that it is currently running on band 66. It will likely never connect to n260 or n261 UW bands as it doesn't physically have the antenna like the custom 1+8 for verizon does.
I turned on the NR via the dialer using *#*#4636#*#* as 5G is not available in the regular network settings. A tech told me there is a specific 5G sim so that's still a possibility. I only swapped the previous sim in from a Pixel XL. If someone gets to that hopefully they'll post up or if I ever get a new one from VZW I'll chime in.
