None!

Unfortunate! Honor 8 supports At&t I guess. I really liked Honor 8 pro. But this is a deal breaker.

i m also looking for US network compatibilty and found at below link it supports 4g LTE band 5 and AT&T also works on band 5.

Hello..
I own a China "Global" Edition Redmi Note 5.
I'm on MetroPCS (T-Mobile towers) and I get LTE in the Urban (City) areas and HSPA+ on the outskirts. It NEVER drops down to 3G or (Heaven Forbid) 2G.. I'm pretty sure AT&T provides the best overall coverage.. but MetroPCS has the best cost for my needs.. hope this helps if you have a Global Edition.

Network Band Frequency

HI,
I operate a Note Pro 5 in the UK on the plusnet network which uses the following bands / frequency's. I use the global ROM
800MHz band, the 1800MHz band, the 2100MHz band
Iam not having much luck with the 4G speed / connection. Iam wondering if that's because the handset does not work with these bands. No point reformatting my phone only to find out if the phone does not work with these bands !!!
Thanks
Mathew
It should work fine, as they use EEs network. I use virgin mobile that also uses EEs network and its fine. Have you tried amending the APN settings?

Yes you are correct Virgin and Plusnet both run off EE but its not that simple.
EE only allow some bands to be avalible for resale the ones I have listed are what Plusnet use.
You have pointed out something I should have done!!!! I have removed the APN and started from scratch I will try this for a few days and see what happens.

So from what I've read plusnet don't seem to offer the 800mhz frequency (EE/virgin do), but if your Redmi Note 5 is the global version it will work with all UK 4G bands (including 800 or band 20 if its available from your provider). Usually band 20/800mhz travels further and so tends to be used more in rural areas to help improve coverage. Were you connecting to 4g OK before or have you just changed to plusnet or just got your RN5?

Yes I thought that but have had conformation directly from Plusnet that they do use the 800mhz range
@MathewRB
Global version of Redmi Note 5 supports all frequences You mentioned. The only problem is that it doesn"t support carrier agregation (LTE+) which can lead to slow data acces when the transmitter which Your"s phone is connected to is clogged

Change LTE bands (Unlock band 20)

Hi all
I bought a Chineese Version of the Redmi Note 8 pro. I installed now V10.4.1.0 Global Rom and it works. Last problem is that i need band 20 to have a good 4G connection.
Is it somehow possible that i can unlock and set this band ?
Kind Regards
You cant add new BANDS. China modem no support him !Re-flashing does not help!

cool, but has anyone verified if changes in BandMode enable LTE bands? The G90T has the WorldMode modem and is capable of picking up just about every LTE band used throughout the world.

Redmi NOte 8 Pro has big problems with LTE 4G + tape management. The phone does not keep the 4G + it switches and stays in 4G all the time. It's a modem management problem that does not support the double-banding needed for 4G +.
Bests Regards

Hello, could you please specify what kind ofLTE band issues this phone have? I've just ordered Global vers. with 128 GB ROM, where Band 20 (800) is the most important for me, as it is the most frequently used one in Türkiye. It doesn't exist in my Mi5, so hope the signal and speed would be better with Redmi Note 8 Pro.
anyone played around with trying to unlock more bands? pretty sure the modem has the ability to get them all, and is just software locked for one reason or another
Even I go to engineering mode. It still cannot unlock the band 7 / 20.
it seem Chinese version cannot unlock the band.
I hope some expert can do it later and share with us.

what do you mean by "tape management"? If it's a modem management problem, then it is software related. Helio G9T's HAVE the WorldMode modem, what you're describing doesn't make sense and doesn't answer my question.

it's probably a modem firmware issue. the problem is the Helio G90T is only available on the RN8 Pro, so swapping modem firmware from another device isn't happening. I wonder if anyone with the Global variant has tried though.
I have Note 8 pro Global Version and band 7,20 is enable by default.
may work

Question C band for Verizon? Future of 5g

Does anyone know if this phone or the regular one plus nine will have c-band for verizon? I'm considering getting this phone, currently on verizon, trying to decide between the nine and nine pro
I hope OnePlus 9 Pro will work on any 5g bands.
8 pro does NOT !
I talk with OnePlus and they say that will be fixed on future updates. That was last year..

Thoughts? Any updates?
What are those of you on verizon doing? Buying this or regular oneplus 9?
The 9 pro currently doesn't work on Verizon or att 5g network. It works on their 4g lte. It is only certified on T-Mobile 5g network.

i have no idea. i think it could change for verizon but at&t is very strict about what they are letting on their 5g network.
I spoke with an agent at One Plus and they said the 9 pro would be compatible with Verizon's 5G network out of the box.
Also chatted with a verizon agent, and they said I would just need to put a verizon 5G sim in it.
Interesting. I guess we'll see?
Do we think it will work on the ultra fast portion of their 5g band?

who knows, knowing verizon, they'll find a way to gum up the works. when I go to activate the device next week, I'll give an update.
This is from the one plus website, under carrier compatibility:
Verizon: Support Band (LTE): 2/4/5/13/46/48/66 Support Band (NR) n2/n5/n66
The 9 Pro currently supports Low and mmWave 5G on Verizon, C-Band is disabled, however you can enable it using QPST but you will not have a UW icon.

I do, I did it on my 9 Pro, highest speed I've gotten 670Mbps down, however I'm gonna be honest, it's too complicated (for me) to write out on here, and too dangerous to accidentally mess something up, I'd wait till someone who knows how to explain things on here, writes it up.
I know that OnePlus has C-Band (N77) disabled in the software, however you can enable it with QPST, I did on my 9 Pro and running a speed test, the fastest speeds I got was around 670Mbps, however, the only issue I have is that I cannot figure out how to make it show the 5G UW icon from mmWave, I know the phone has it, is there any way for me to manually enable the 5G UW icon for C-Band (N77) with QPST? Can it be enabled with root (Magisk)?
Second question, do you guys think OnePlus will enable C-Band on the 9 Series? Will it be Oxygen OS 12 exclusive, or will they send out 1 more Oxygen OS 11 update (11.2.11.11)?
Why do you keep referencing this mod, but you won't detail how you performed the mod. Or at least post a link to the instructions?

Because I suck at explaining things, I definitely don't have the patience to write out a detailed tutorial, and I don't want the guilt of possibly bricking someone's phone, which is why I keep saying people should wait till someone patient enough writes a tutorial.
