[Q] MX4 Pro 800Mhz LTE Support

Hello everyone,
I am looking at the possibility of buying a Meizu MX4 Pro but have some concerns about the LTE connection. It doesn't look like there is any support for the 800Mhz band, which my carrier (EE) use.
EE also uses 2.6 and 1.8 Ghz which the handset supports, however I am unsure as to whether I would experience a drop in performance on 4G from my current phone (Galaxy S5). I have read that 800Mhz has better range and penetration so will pick up a better signal indoors and when further from aerial masts.
I would appreciate any input in to this as It will definitely affect my purchasing decision.
Many thanks.

Your totally right.
Meizu mx4 pro actually isn't supporting LTE 800MHz (even if the processor is able to, there is some rumors about supporting it end 2015, but rumors....according to me).
With the 800MHz there is better range, but not better speed. With 1800 or 2600, better speed , less range....
I have a Mx4 pro, so I'm concerned, believe me....

If you don't mind me asking, what country do you live in? And have you found your 4G connection unstable (I am especially concerned about reception indoors)?
There are so many things about this phone that make it appeal to me (audio, 2k screen, easy root access) but this could be a deal breaker!
I have read that there are some ways to enable other bands on Qualcomm phones (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059), I wonder whether this would work on Meizu MX4 Pro?
Thanks for your reply

I'm living in France.
I'm on FREE network who's not using 800MHZ LTE but I use 4G everyday, I have no problem of reception in 4G even indoor.
But FREE is using 2600MHz band.
Sometimes if my phone is caughting 3G and I go in 4G zone, I must choose 3G then 4G to push the phone to change antenna. But since I'm in 4.2.5A firmware, the phone is working better.
When I was on 4.2.2.1i version of firmware, there was some lags, some reception problems. Just a few bug remaining since I'm on 4.2.5A beta firmware.
I hope that when the lollipop firmware will be out, all the problems will be repaired.
Actually I don't think that we can force using some bands in root access on MX4 pro, it's possible on MX4 because the processor is different. No info today concerning our MX4 PRO.
but the samsung alpha is using the same processor and works on 800MHz LTE. So it's possible on mx4 pro ...Technically speaking of course.

IF im reading correctly you implied that there is a way to force mx4 to use diffrent LTE bands in root access. If so can you tell me how or point me in the right direction with a link.

Honor Note 8 AL10 with ATT

I just got a Huawei Honor Note 8 version AL10. On frequencycheck.com it shows that it has ATTs main bands 2,4,17; however I only am getting 3G. Has anyone else been able to get LTE on ATTs network with the international AL10 version of the Honor Note 8?

Sorry for late Answer,the HN8 Lte Bands 1/3/7,works not with ATT,only 3G or H+

That really sucks, was looking forward to buying this phone. Hopefully when HN9 gets released later this year it will support LTE on AT&T. Imagine doing video calls on 3G again or not being able to talk and surf the web over LTE, definitely not fun.

I think it will not be a Honor Note 9 against.
I have also been waiting for the Mediapad X2 successor but nothing has ever come

Cellular strength and throughput

We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Redmi Note 8's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.

SpeedTest with France Free provider.
Hello,
I have just made short experience with Redmi Note 8 Pro 128Gb France version.

I believe this should be moved/posted in the Redmi Note 8 Pro thread instead.
Specs for Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8 Pro is quite different.

So far I've had issues. Don't get speeds past 4mbps, which is unacceptable

i have the indian version and 4g signal is weak
you said "unlock" ?
is that only software related ?
if so we can just flash global rom , or no ?

The best Speeds !
i have the Redmi Note 8(India)
My speeds have gone up to like 13 Mb/s [ not Mbps ]
on a daily scale i get like at least 3-5 Mb/s with the highest traffic ,
Just change your ISP ( i use Airtel )

Just tested my Redmi Note 8 Pro against my Poco F1 and via WiFi the Poco F1 is a bit faster - 180Mbps for the Poco F1 download and 160 Mbps upload. For the Redmi Note 8 Pro it reached 160Mbps download and 150 Mbps upload. Both tests made with Speedtest program and on the same spot in my house, same 5Ghz wireless network. For comparison, my laptop goes to 4-500Mbps. It's a gigabit connection.
On cellular data it's the opposite: Redmi Note 8 Pro reached 45Mbps download and 10 upload and the Poco F1 got only 25Mbps down and 6-8 Mbps upload. Again both were next to each other, same spot in my house and connected to the same server for correct testing.
I've seen the Poco F1 reach 8MB/s on cellular before not even once, but not tonight I guess.
I'm very pleased with both phones!
Cheers

You have RN7 with EU rom?

I have RN8 pro, redmi note 8 pro, but I think LTE is not goos in France comparing other mobile, same spot, same provider (Free, Orange)

Hello! I have a little request from you and many other people. I'm one of Redmi Note 8 Pro users and theres alot of us and many of us have only chinese ROM (software) version. You have european, which we all need and it's very simple for you to share it with us, it would help alot of people. Can u help us? To to this:
Go to settings > My device > MIUI Version (at top) > three dots at right top > Download latest package
After downloading it DON'T REBOOT phone, just exit from this manager
Then go to file manager on phone and "downloaded_rom" folder. And there should be zip file which with "PGGEUXM" in name. It's full ROM file, which everybody need! And we cannot find it enywhere
Can u share this file for us? You can use https://mega.nz/ etc. hosting, we would be very gratefull for that!

You can make a thread about it!

On my RN7 I was having 4G+, yesterday I buy RN8 pro, and I got EU ROM, btw I am also from Europe, and I have only 4G.. no +..
Why Xiaomi, why??

The wifi speed is lil slower than the other phones. Both phones are connected in same wifi.

Redmi Note 8 Pro doesn't have many useful combinations of carrier aggregation, except B3+B1
I didn't find any similar tools and tutorials to enable LTE+ for Mediatek like QPST & QXDM for Qualcomm

Samsung Galaxy S20+ G985F Intenational Version 4G version

I saw there isn't a thread about the regular 4G regular S20+ model G985F.
Therefore, I decided to create it and here we can speak about everything related to this device.

Galaxy S20 series has a hidden 96HZ display refresh rate.
Seems like Samsung has added some trick to their S20 line.

That's because the whole forum is a mix / muddle / mess of different model S20's that no-one can decipher...

Yes, because the S20 /S20+ /S20Ultra were combined into 1 single chapter which..it is not ok.
And because each phone model has it's on 4G or 5G model..it is even worse.
from here my initiative.

I didn't even know this phone had 8GB of ram instead of 12 compared to the 5G variant. I feel kinda cheated.

Anyone getting poor reception with their S20+ (G985F) ? My s8 gets 2 bars of LTE at camp yet my s20 gets literally nothing. Straight up no signal. I thought maybe this phone doesn't support the required bands for LTE here in Canada, but I checked and it does. So I think it's just poor reception? I am really regretting buying this phone if I can't even get reception at camp, when everyone else does.

Somebody knows what means these numbers in the down corners of the screen at Galaxy S20 plus ??
I bought it in this condition from ebay without any problem !!
