Has anyone been able to get 4G service working for the Mix 2 on verizon. I have googled and entered in all the APN's I could find. I keep getting the error message Access Point Name settings are not available for this user. I can get 3g service to work just by inputting vzwinternet and leaving everything else undefined, but I cant get it connected to 4G. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello...Yes. Verizon LTE works fine.
If you have the APN set correctly, try going into the testing menu (Dialer -- > *#*# 4636 #*#* --> Phone Information 1/2 --> ), entering whichever "Phone Information" relates to the Verizon SIM in use, and manually switching off the "Cellular Radio Power" setting (you may have to toggle it twice as it likes to turn itself back on)...waiting 20 seconds or so...and then switching the radio power back on. I can absolutely confirm that LTE on Verizon works fine though there does seem to be some funniness with respect to the Mi Mix 2's radio firmware when it has a CDMA SIM installed.

Do you mind sharing what APN you used? I tried toggling Cellular Radio Power but the APN settings still won't save. I entered in the settings shown below and then I get this message shown below

Arghhhh...how frustrating. The APN I'm using is "vzwinternet" so it's the same as the one you'd mentioned above...plus the LTE connection should work (though it may be inactive) even with the wrong APN.
I did run into this exact same scenario when I was messing around with two Verizon SIMs just for testing purposes and it seemed like the radio toggle worked...maybe keep trying it...and doing some reboots and stuff? The only other thing I can think of is maybe trying a GSM SIM temporarily (AT&T or T-Mobile) in place of your Verizon SIM to sort of "reset" it...and then putting your Verizon SIM back in...the other possibility is toggling the network types a bit in the testing menu? Mine's on LTE/CDMA/UMTS (auto) but maybe try going to CDMA only...LTE/CDMA auto...etc. to see if you can kick the radio in the butt a bit. I swear the Mi Mix 2 can connect to all of Verizon's LTE bands just fine...I've definitely seen mine on B13, 4, and 2...so it really can work...but there's some weird thing going on in the firmware that creates this issue I believe. I also had it when I first put my Verizon SIM in though a reboot initially fixed it...sounds like yours is more persistent...
Also - try untoggling VoLTE both in the Dual SIM menu and the testing menu - I think sometimes these dual SIM phones have some issues with VoLTE sort of holding the LTE connection "hostage," even if only for emergency calls...though this is just speculation. My old Axon 7 from ZTE had this same sort of issue from time to time.

Does the bootloader need to be unlocked &/or TWRP installed to move from factory stable to the Developer ROM,or,just follow the guide in the link you provided?
With my previous Xioami devices,I never used the Dev ROMs,went straight to the Bootloader unlock > TWRP> Root > ROM of your choice route,so,just wanna get the methodology correct before proceeding.

No you don't need bootloader unlock to switch to the beta ROMs. You just need to download the relevant zip file and place it in a particular folder on your SD card (downloaded_rom) and then run the update manually from the settings menu. The instructions at the following URL work quite well except that I just downloaded the zip file directly to my SD card from the browser versus using a computer and then transferring it with a USB cable.

Though the developer Rom may fix the problem, I'm wondering if the Mi Mix 2's dual SIM setup is as buggy as the ZTE Axon 7's when trying to get Verizon CDMA working. With the Axon 7, you had to set it up initially with a working GSM Sim in slot 1, before you could switch over to a Verizon SIM and get it to hold the new APN and function properly. The Axon 7 was also configured such that your CDMA SIM must be in slot 1. It would not work at all in SIM slot 2. I'm thinking that these Chinese made dual sim slots may be birds made of the same feather.

Hello...I have an Axon 7 A2017U and a Mi Mix 2...I'd say the Mi Mix 2 is a bit better in this respect (I ran Verizon on my Axon 7 as well). But, I did have some of the same issues as the OP when I initially put my Verizon SIM in and a reboot and radio settings dance seemed to fix it.
However, the Mi Mix 2 generally does not have the CDMA roaming issue that the Axon 7 had, nor the '123456' carrier issue that the Axon 7 had (i.e., it shows Verizon on 3G and 1X).
So, there is some of the oddities that I ran into with the Axon still sort of present in the Mix 2 but it's not bad...I think it's related to VoLTE but that's just a guess...but all in all the Mi Mix 2 does work a bit better than the Axon 7 did with Verizon...though I never had a great deal of trouble running Verizon on the Axon 7, admittedly...I think some people had a lot more difficulty than I did for some reason.

Oh! And one more thing...you can use either SIM slot 1 *or* 2 in the Mi Mix 2 for Verizon...you can actually run two CDMA SIMs but they won't be able to work at the same time...only one will get calls and texts.
When you loaded the Developer ROM did it wipe all the exisiting data and accounts on the phone.
I just spent two days setting the phone up, don't want to do that again.

Great post! This is really good to know, since I will be running a GSM and CDMA Sim simultaneously in the Mix 2, just like I did in my Axon 7. My Axon was very slow and flakey switching between Sims and yea, that 123456 carrier thing was for the birds. The other issue with the Axon 7 was cellular signal strength. I was getting 5 to 15 db lower signal strength everywhere and since it didn't have LTE band 12 for T-mobiles 700 Mhz channel, the in building reception was even worse. How are you finding the signal reception with the Mix 2?

Hm...my Axon 7 did have band 12 support - did you have an A2017U?
As far as the signal strength, on CDMA/EvDO and also LTE I do notice about a 3-5 dBm increase in the signal in the Mi Mix 2 vs. the Axon 7 (pictured below - Mi Mix 2 on left, Axon 7 on right...opposite in the last two pictures in case positioning had an effect on signal). Of course, the test is highly unscientific! But, yes...there does seem to be a bit better reception which maybe is due to the use of ceramic vs. metal? Not sure...or just better engineering or modem firmware optimization...not sure.

Yes, that's the model. I guess I was confusing it with one of my other phones. The LG V20 I used right after selling the Axon 7 had WAY better reception indoors so I thought it was a band 12 issue. I think the Snapdragon 835 chip with the X16 modem does a better job of optimization in the Mix 2, but I don't know if it has all the hardware- like 4 antenna mimo- for LTE CA. The ceramic is certainly more transparent to cell signals than the Axons metal chassis. Thanks for your informal "scientific" study.

Hi folks,
I replaced the AT&T sim card in my Nexus 5 with a Verizon Wireless sim. After trial and error I was able to get the phone to recognize the Verizon accesspoint and show 4 bars. It won't make a call or access the internet. The hardware supports Verizon's bands -
I can't post a link on XDA but you can checkout why the hardware should work by googling on "Nexus 5 is designed to work on Verizon Wireless, and most other networks"
I think I need a driver. Maybe Verizon need to register my ESDN?
So basically the Nexus 5 is out if you belong to Verizon?? There is not a chance at all?? Yes or No
Nexus 5 on VZW..

You may need to call Verizon and they can flash the phone for operation on their service, you need the proper system ID, network ID, current band active in your state, as well as the UATI color code, which for me, is 151.
You have all sorts of information your phone needs in order to operate on a different carrier's band, HDR channel, Pilot PN #, just to name a few.
VZW will flash the phone if possible for their system, then you need not think about those things I described, they will be taken care of for you.
Thanks to frequency re-use, the same channels are available state-wide as well as nation-wide in certain RSAs and MSAs, and roaming is 'almost' a thing of the past as well.
I have had my OP3 for over a week now and this whole time I can not get LTE service. It is just stuck on HSPA. I called AT&T and went to an authorized retailer and a device support center and my problem was not resolved. I contacted OnePlus as well but again got no solution.
HSPA is not too slow, as the download speeds are about 6 Mbps, which is tolerable. But LTE speeds are just so much quicker. One thing I thought I would try is dialing *#*#4636#*#* and checking in the settings in that menu. Under "Preferred Network Type," it says "GSM auto (PRL)," and every time I try changing it to an LTE option it just automatically goes back to the GSM auto option.
Does anybody have any solutions? Any help would be appreciated. Also, my APN settings are 100% correct, they have been checked/changed numerous times.

Once I provided the OP3 IMEI-1 to ATT, the phone would only get H using the sim in the 1st tray. Even after I got them to switch it back to my N6 IMEI. Once I put the sim in tray 2, LTE started working again.
I have straight talk which is a MVNO using ATT and I had just H service and it changed to lte service after an hour or so.
I kinda hate my one plus 3 when its off wifi, its always slow speeds and im on AT&T... Here in Oklahoma City.... My google nexus 6p never had this issue it didn't seem... ugh can anyone help?
Hello just switched back to t mobile and have a question..have an unlock galaxy s8+ with t mobile firmware and when doing a phone call, myself , as well as the person I'm speaking with, the volume goes in and out despite the fact I have more then adequate service(-100dbm b4). Never drop a call just lose volume..Called t mobile and they have no idea. If I use WiFi calling I don't have the issue. Don't have option to turn off volte being in mostly band 12 only areas so I wouldn't be able to receive calls. Hard having a conversation when you miss seconds at a time of the conversation..tried reflashing firmware with odin as well as a factory reset. Do notice this phone switches between b4 and b12 really frequently despite the fact it isn't needed at my house as both have fine coverage and b4 rarely goes under -105dbm... Any advice?

Is your sim card new? If not I'd start with replacing that. What apn settings are you using? I believe your phone should drop to HSPA+ on a phone call if you have volte off , well mine does anyways and I'm on similar bands but I have ATT as a carrier.

If I turn volte off I wouldn't be able to receive calls, majority of my area is lte only. Just got a sim 1 week ago when I switched back over to t mobile..i noticed that It happens while phone is changing between band 4 and band 12 which it does at the very least once every minute so I disabled band 4 and it seems to not do it now which stinks but it's not a deal breaker as phone still works fine and data speeds are still high enough that it's not a problem just weird

LTE only, I find that hard to believe as most lower grade and mid grade phones don't even have the option for volte but whatever, glad ya got it partially figured out. I would try flashing different basebands aka radio aka modem aka CP lol and see of that fixes the issue.

If I remember correctly any baseband will work except Verizon ones as they are only one that blocks band 12 right? Hopefully find some odin flashable modems online so I don't have to spend forever downloading whole package off Sam mobile. I grabbed latest 955u1 t mobile firmware when I switched from Verizon last week bc phone wouldn't work or update from coming from Verizon for some odd reason
They're all literally the same CP/modem for the u and u1 models, so when changing modems you actually have to flash different build numbers not just different carriers modems with the same build number cause they're all the same lol, aka multi-csc
It's definitely when the phone changes bands, which I still don't get why it's so constant. Played around again tonight and would switch from -100dbm band 4, call would cut out as I switched to -92dbm band 12 then seconds later back to b4 to where it would cut out again. Fix for me is to keep band 4 disabled but then when I go to city I'm screwed bc parts don't have b12 only b4 and I have to go into dialer and re enable it..it. shouldn't cut out, my pixel never had this issue or nexus 6. Idk what to do about this
I'm wondering if anyone else is or has been experiencing this issue. For the last couple weeks my black Pixel 2XL 128gig on Android 8.0 is having a problem switching from LTE to HSPA when trying to make a phone call. I've been on the phone with both Google and AT&T numerous times. ATT deactivated and reactivated my sim card. I ended up getting a new sim card and still didn't fix the problem. Google eventually sent me a brand new phone and I'm still having the same problem. Now Google wants to send me another new phone. I had the original pixel XL on ATT and did not have this issue at all. Anyone else having a similar issue?
Uh... Yes, that's normal, you don't have VoLTE enabled. There's a whole thread about enabling it with AT&T here on the boards. TLR of that thread, download the Oreo 8.1 beta, enable VoLTE in the software, talk to AT&T to enable enhanced voice features.

Then somehow you had VoLTE on your first Pixel. Without VoLTE, the phone will 100% of the time kick back out to HSPA+ when you make a phone call. That's been the case with every phone I've owned prior to VoLTE and actually having a phone that had and made use of VoLTE.

I know it's supposed to kick back to HSPA when making a phone call. The problem is that it doesn't. Instead of going to HSPA I lose signal completely. The phone will try to make the phone call and then the phone will manually hang up like I hit the end call button but it does it automatically. Then I either have to toggle airplane mode or reboot the phone to get LTE again.

Edit: Re-read the first post and you already tried a new SIM. Have you tried a SIM from someone else, maybe on another Network to see if it's the phone or the network?

Ya I got a new SIM the other day. I talked to jcase about it and he believes it's a provisioning issue on AT&Ts end. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if they found a solution to it. I did end up upgrading to 8.1 beta and that obviously fixed it because of enhanced calling. It's just weird because I haven't found anybody else who has had this problem.

I'm wondering if anyone else is or has been experiencing this issue. For the last couple weeks my black Pixel 2XL 128gig on Android 8.0 is having a problem switching from LTE to HSPA when trying to make a phone call. I've been on the phone with both Google and AT&T numerous times. ATT deactivated and reactivated my sim card. I ended up getting a new sim card and still didn't fix the problem. Google eventually sent me a brand new phone and I'm still having the same problem. Now Google wants to send me another new phone. I had the original pixel XL on ATT and did not have this issue at all. Anyone else having a similar issue?

One thing you should always try before going to the provider is a safe mode boot. I tried a new rom and could not get data. Most things worked but no data. I could call and WIFI but no cellular data. In safe mode I got data. That tells you some third party APP is responsible.

Then somehow you had VoLTE on your first Pixel. Without VoLTE, the phone will 100% of the time kick back out to HSPA+ when you make a phone call. That's been the case with every phone I've owned prior to VoLTE and actually having a phone that had and made use of VoLTE.

What does VoLTE have to do having LTE data while on a call? I don't see any reason why you couldn't have LTE available for data even when it doesn't support LTE for voice calls.
I've had LTE switch to H every time I've made a phone call on my Nexus 5, Nexus 5X and Pixel 2 XL. Since 8.1 I've had VoLTE. I know because when I make a call I see the "HD" which is VoLTE but the LTE still switches to H so it seems like the two are related.

Uhm, everything? VoLTE is Voice over LTE which implies that you have an LTE radio connection (as opposed to a UMTS/WCDMA/HS*PA radio connection).

That's because you don't understand the fundamental way in which cellular networks work. Don't feel bad - you're not alone; it's a complicated topic.
The radio on your device can only support one type of radio connection at a time. There are a multitude of reasons for this: capacity on the chip, the need for multiple amplifiers to work simultaneously (because typically carriers use different parts of the radio spectrum for one Radio Access Type than another), antenna capacity etc. Keep in mind that are scenarios in which your device is already juggling quasi multiple radio connects, e.g. carrier aggregation.
Don't get me wrong, there have been devices that supported multiple simultaneous radio access technologies on a single device, but that's because they had multiple radios. These were older devices on IS-95 CDMA carriers such a Sprint when they were pushing WIMAX, and even I believe some Verizon devices which allowed them to do multi-RAB for simultaneous voice and calls before their CDMA infrastructure was upgraded to allow this (and prior to their VoLTE launch). These devices are few and far between.
One last point on this topic: the network handles handover between RATs (though it's possible for the device to only support one RAT). If you were allowed to have simultaneous connections to two radio access types, the network would be juggling twice the resources for your device (the transmit and receive portion of a data connection or call is not the only resource involved). This is yet another reason why in most circumstances you'll never see two simultaneous RATs for one device: it costs the network money. Unless you're trying to cover up for a deficiency is your network architecture (e.g. IS-95 CDMA networks lack of support for multi-RAB. Multi-RAB refers to radio access bearers, basically multiple virtual connections across a single radio link. You might think of this like VLANs on an ethernet network.) you don't put the network and engineering expenses to support multiple RATs..

Actually, no. "HD" stands for "HD Voice" which is a better codec. Depending on the carrier, you may get HD voice on a 3G RAT and VoLTE RAT or just on a VoLTE RAT. Keep in mind that HD Voice uses more radio resource than the standard GSM codecs, so there's a trade-off involved here. LTE is more spectral efficient, so offering the higher quality, higher bit rate voice codec on VoLTE has less of an impact on the network than offering it on VoLTE + 3G. So depending on your carrier, they may or may not allow the HD codec on non-VoLTE radio connections. Either way, HD does not in any way shape or form constitute having a VoLTE connection, since it's radio access type independent.

My Pixel 2 XL does VoLTE on AT&T. "HD" might have different meanings in different cases but in this case the "HD" does mean VoLTE. Google specifically stated that in release notes for 8.1 on the Pixel 2 XL.
Also, back when I had a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (AT&T's LTE variant of the Galaxy S2 and its first LTE phone) back in late 2011 it didn't do VoLTE but it did allow LTE data while a voice call was in progress.
Is it just me or is the radio firmware on the USA model GARBAGE!?!? Like, it goes dead completely randomly and often for no reason on mine.

Zero issues on mine and I'm on T-Mobile. It's possible you have one with a hardware issue or possibly network issues in your area. Haven't tested on Verizon or AT&T so no idea if there's any issues with those networks on this phone.
So I have the zero issues with this phone. I absolutely love it!
Same here. Seems like it might be better on the newest (A.08), but too early to say for sure.
Using mine on Verizon, and have much better signal on this phone than I ever had with my previous phone or my wife's phone
try a factory reset. i had no issues when i had the phone
No issues with mine on AT&T - contacted Support Admin and they are supposed to push out a carrier update at the end of the month that will enable all additional features on your phone plan to function on the OnePlus 11.
I can say that Google Fi just added support for the OnePlus 11 because my ESIM just transferred over
Also my beta version of pixel 7 Pro has dual ESIM so hopefully the OnePlus 11 gets that feature too. My OnePlus 11 shows VO1 next to my connection.

Same here. I am a truck driver and go all over the states. Excellent signal compare to all the phones I had before

Have your tried swapping to SIM 2? I've had 2 OP11 with faulty SIM 1, but SIM 2 okay. After device replacement from OP, new device has no issues.
