im trying to use an unlocked att huawei w1 in Sweden and an getting the no signal indicator often, after 3 days of perfect reception. i tried the sim card in an old flip phone and would immediately get full signal.
the cell phone shop said huawei phones notoriously have bad reception. is this true?
btw the phone company I'm using, comviq, users the same 900/1800 bands as att.

Purchased a LG G2 a few years ago only to find it crap reception - South Korea variant.
Binned it in favor of a LG G3 D855 .. Figured it covered every band ever used .. ( Including the cancer causing 2300Mhz band ).
Using an Optus Australian 3G sim card offered great coverage at home but crap reception in Sydney, were as my sons s4 and wife phone had far better reception. Figured I had the best phone of the bunch I went out and purchased a 4G sim card ( My phone was the only one of phones that had the 4Gx .. 700Mhz capability ).
The still had crap reception .. by default it uses the lesser Edge network and refused to the better 4G network .. Network settings were of no use .. Forced to dial 3845#*855* got into rat settings and tell the phone to use LTE and CDMA .. resloved the issue . But must be done every time I restart the phone ... I Love the G3 .. But ?
Hi,
I am looking for a good quality Dual SIM mobile so I would like to ask you about couple of thinks:
1. Does the Second SIM can work with 3G instead like P9 Plus only 2G only? I know data can be only from one SIM but calls from two. Here in AU there is no 2G
2. Does it worth to buy it?
Regards
On a recent trip to Taipei, my AT&T global roaming SIM was my primary (4G on Chunghwa network) while my China Mobile SIM was secondary/phone only (3G on 大哥大 network). So, I believe the phone only secondary SIM is capable of more than just 2G.
However, this looks to be network dependant as when in China and the AT&T SIM is my main driver, the China Telecom SIM stays on 2G.
Thanks for info. I have confirmation from dealer that SIM2 can work on 2G/3G but I am confused because in user manual there is information that second SIM can work only on 2G'.
Can someone confirm it in practice?
Regards
Second SIM should support 3g no issues, see attached screenshot
Is the phone full active or stand by ..
very happy with my mate9 pro - dual sim. LON-L29C636 working great on AT&T in the USA. Only one sim (you can select between SIM1 and SIM2) is for data. I was in the middle east and asia the last few weeks and dual sims worked great (I have AT&T and Singapore (Starhub) SIM's in my phone). This was my note 7 replacement and I've been very happy with it. Amazing battery life and supercharging is fast (but you have to use their dedicated charger/cable or you just get regular charge speeds). i bought mine off ebay (it's a UAE model) and had no problems.
quick question
I am looking to get the mate 9 pro
Are any of you on Tmobile in the USA, and, do you get 4G/LTE?
The reseller I have been emailing with on Amazon says you do NOT get 4GLTE on Tmobile in the USA with this phone, but I have read that you do.
Thanks if you can help with this! :good::good:
The verizon signal on my ph-1 was not the best. I would often have to manually choose LTE only to have the phone get LTE, choosing LTE cdma/evdo would keep the phone on 1x/3g. I attributed this to possible software and hardware issues with the phone itself as I saw many other Verizon users with similar complaints. I recently purchased an iPhone and, to my surprise, the phone would not get LTE with the same sim. The sim I'm using originally came in a pixel but has since worked in an a g6, s8, and note 8 with no issue. I called Verizon and he said he had to configure my sim to the iPhone x, afterwards I got perfect LTE signal. I then put the sim back in my ph-1 and I also get perfect signal. Just thought I would share, maybe this will help someone....
Alright, so, I've probably seriously f'd up, but, I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on (and, more importantly, how to fix it).
I bought a P10 Plus online. I wanted the 6GB RAM model, so I went shopping on Amazon/e-bay, got one shipped to me (Canada) from Hong Kong. With my old carrier, Telus, it worked perfectly, like a charm. Absolutely no complaints.
My contract with Telus finally came up last week, and I decided to flip them the bird and switch to Freedom (more data, -$40/month, why the hell wouldn't I?). I did my research online first to make sure the phone would be compatible, the signal bands Freedom uses were listed on the phone, etc. I expected everything to work, and stupidly went ahead and ported my number without testing first. Idiot.
I haven't had LTE since I switched. H+ only, occasional 3G, but never LTE. It's not a SIM issue, Freedom has changed it twice. It's not a signal issue; my girlfriend, also with Freedom, has LTE everywhere we've gone (on my old LG G4 no less, lol). As the phone had LTE with Telus, it's not a phone issue (meaning, it's not a broken antenna or something simple like that). At the moment, I presume that either Freedom's Band 4/7 is different somehow from Telus' Band 4/7 (and therefore that cellular bands are not standardised as I had presumed), or, the P10 Plus (specifically the VKY-AL00) isn't actually compatible with Freedom...
Does anyone understand what's going on? Is there any way I can "fix" this? Or am I stuck with what is, to me, basically a paperweight?
I bought a brand new galaxy s6 edge dual sim-9287 from Hong Kong. I have good network signal on 2G network but the WCDMA/3G. network reception is not good on my 9287 phone while there is good WCDMA network in my old galaxy S4. I am using the phone in Africa.
I have flashed several modems.bin and factory reset but nothing improved.
Any advice is highly appreciated, please.

It's odd that I know the answer to this question from a vastly different device. Back in the early 2000s before modern androids I used to get phones from China. Cdma phones that didn't take sim cards. But used UMTS. This isn't a bootloader/modem issue and that's why you haven't been able to solve it. It's a radio issue. Older phones use radio bands, your devices radio is for the wrong country.
