I got a Huawei P9 Lite in Japan, and was using it to connect to 4G service no problem. I come to the US, and find that my phone can only access edge connectivity here with the bands my phone supports. I hear that it may be possible to unlock additional bands on my phone. I am very new to this, so I'm not sure which information to follow. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Is there anyone using a Huawei P8 in U.S. I'm new to android phones and using international phones. I am having trouble figuring out if I will be able to connect this phone to ATT or TMobile and get good data connection-coverage. Any help or comments about using this phone in U.S. Is appreciated.
Thanks
hi,
you can compare the frequencies that AT&T uses with the ones supported by your model (google that).
Anyway you shouldn't have any issues on AT&T.

The global version > GRA-L09 will support t-mobile bands in the US; not aware of the AT&T bands.
I have s7 edge tmobile version. However, it seems like the band support is very limited. I know that sd820 should capable of supporting a lot of band, is it possible to unlock those band without rooting the phone? I travel a lot so would love to have as many band as possible.
It should already work almost anywhere in the world.
I'm going to the trip to China soon. Is it possible to use odin to flash the chinese version without root?
Hello All
I read that the phones coming to the US will be dual sim. I was wondering if anyone knew what LTE bands are available on this version. GSM Arena lists the bands but doesn't specify which version they're reviewing (I believe it's only out in Beijing right now). I'm in China right now but can't find the phone in the small city I'm in. I am planning a trip to Beijing next Sunday to go check it out... just wondering if it's even worth the effort... Any info anyone has would be appreciated...

I mistakenly bought a Chinese 1+2, as a result I don't get LTE or HSPA+, and barely have any HSPA service in Canada. I've read guides for the OnePlus one but they seem device specific. Has anyone successfully unlocked either HSPA+ or LTE bands for north America on a Chinese model?
Why not replace it
I'm stuck with the same model, but located in the US. Been holding out that someone would accomplish this so I could connect with LTE speeds....but not yet.

Not sure about US bands, but some people in the Japanese OnePlus Google+ managed to unlock the 800MHz band on the Chinese OnePlus 2 by following a guide written for the OnePlus One.

can you link me to that guy?
I got a question . I am from Romania and i bought the chinese 6/64 version of Redmi Note 7. Will the 4G work in Romania? My network provider is Orange. How can i check this info?
Are the chinese and global version same when it comes to supported 4G bands?
And the second question is if you can install the global rom on a chinese version of Redmi note 7? Will the B20 for 4G be automatically unlocked when installing the global rom? Those accepted 4G bands are a software or hardware thing ?
Thanks in advance.

check this out mate, it says here that the Chinese RN7 with LTE band B3 and B7 will work on Orange Network.. here's the link if you need all the info's regarding RN7 technical specs and comparisons. just navigate with the page and you'll find your answers:

B20 is available to Global version but not in Chinese variant..
Unfortunately, changing ROM won't change the modem ability to connect a band that it is not designed to manage. So, yes it is a hardware issue. The modem of the CN version of the Redmi Note 7 is probably able to manage the B20 technically speaking, but it doesn't have the proper embed instructions to do so. I have read some posts about flashing the modem. It is sometimes possible (when there is no hardware limitation), but honnestly, it is not something you can envisage to do by yourself right now, and until someone with good skills does it and share the method (if someone decides to challenge this someday...). The instructions are coming under binary codes. This is a real quest!
Buying a cellphone that doesn't manage the B20/800MHz in Europe is really a bad idea. B20 is the golden band in Europe, since this frequency allows the most performing penetration indoor, and offers the best distance range (about 15 km around the antenna communicationg on B20/800MHz versus barely 5 km around an antenna communicating on B7/2600 MHz). While using your phone in big cities, you will probably catch a B7/2600MHz or a B3/1800MHz signal on your network. But globally your experience won't be good. In many places where your friends using the same network will have a good signal, you will sometimes have a low signal or just no signal (or a switch to the 3G network). For example, when I check my LTE info right now, in a very dense area (Paris, where my network operates from B3, B7 and B20 antennas), my phone is connected on the B20. For sure, if my phone didn't manage the B20, it would connect alternatively to another available band. But if it "chooses" the B20, it means it's the best signal, so.... And now, imagine when you go to the countryside, where there are lessa ntennas, without being able to connect the antennas running the long distance range frequency... This can't be better.
Good luck, though.
