I was in Boston last week and my ATT S10+ was showing 5G signal instead of my usual 4G LTE on top of screen. So why would it show this on a Non 5G phone?? Just to make people think they are getting a 5G signal???? Not RIGHT!!!

AT&T's bonus marketing strikes again. "5Ge" is not 5G, it's just 4G with a couple more features incorporated.

I nearly got in an argument with my brother in law about this. He has ATT and came over and said "wow I get 5G service here too!" He has the S10+. I had to show him my S10 5G (which does NOT get 5G on Verizon at my location) that is a real 5G device and explained that it's impossible to get real 5G service without the hardware. He insisted that (AT&T reps) told him it was 5G!
I hope they get sued to the equator and back for this nonsense.

Didn't mean to thank you the s10 is a 5g phone just won't turn until they update it but att has been trying to lure people in with that fake 5g nonsense and it has fooled a lot of people I don't see how they are not getting sued or have a law suit for false advertising but hey you can do whatever when you have money.

Because some people prioritize coverage above all else. Houston medical center pays Verizon a premium for all the extra coverage there. It's hard to find a place NOT to be able to make a phone call.
I do wonder what happens when verizon dumps CDMA though. T-Mobile's coverage there is pretty dang good for data. At&t is pretty good for calls. Sprint? LOL & ½.

Well, some people actually want dependable coverage I wish they were more open too, but in my rural area (Mendocino County, Northwestern California), Verizon, AT&T and U.S. Cellular rule the roost, though T-Mobile has made a lot of improvements here. Sprint doesn't have coverage here, they roam on U.S. Cellular for service.

Verizon is going to have a hard time keeping up with T-mo's unlimited data plans now. Verizon has great coverage, but their data plans and pricing is pretty crazy. T-mo is going to get a lot of users coming from Verizon soon.
sprint disabled the lg apps too.

According to this site, it does.
Also, I actually got this app last night and it confirms that despite what the status bar shows, I actually AM getting LTE. My area (Chicago) gets LTE Bands 2 & 4 currently from T-Mobile, but sometime before this summer (maybe sooner than later) we will finally get Band 12 as well! It's just dumb that the phone can't be more clear. My int'l Sony Xperia X Performance shows "LTE" at least for 4G LTE. THAT'S a lot better than just showing 4G for both. How am I supposed to know which one I'm in? lol I guess if I wanna know I'll have to use that app. But at least I get LTE, so that's cool.
Thanks!
Many phones outside North America don't actual say LTE in the task bar. I have the same phone and LTE shows as 4G+.

Wow. lol So lame. I don't mind it just saying "LTE" on my Xperia X Performance b/c at least the phrase "LTE" is there. Even 4G+ is way better than just showing 4G when it's in 4G LTE or 4G. lol But ok...........
I'm sure knowing from past experience in my area that the only time I'm really getting just 4G it only lasts for a short time anyway. But I saved like $200 buying the int'l version, plus it has B&O Certification where the U.S. version doesn't, so I guess that makes it worth it? (assuming that certification really means it ACTUALLY sounds better? lol)

It only says 4G when on LTE. HSPA+ and HSPA are both shown as H, and UMTS is shown as 3G. Atleast on my H990DS.
Yeah, i have the 990ds and I travel to Chicago, i live in Charlotte now, often to visit family and friends (I'm from Chicago) and LTE shows as 4G on those phone.
Hey guys I need a new phone, currently I'm on an HTC 10, I can't switch my service provider right now. But I'm thinking about getting a oneplus 6t.

Here is my situation, and perhaps its useful info for you. I came from Axon 7 to One Plus 6t. The Axon 7, while it worked on Verizon never was certified, and outside of custom roms, would have network issues. Day one on One Plus 6t, i had verizon service in rooms and places where i never did before. When you get a One Plus 6t activated on Verizon, they convert your sim card (digitally, so perhaps account would be more accurate) to what is dubbed CDMA-less. I have had worlds better reception and net speeds on the OP6T than i ever did on my Axon 7. (sd 820, similar experience to the 10). I say go for it man. You wont be disappointed. OP6t is a verizon certified device. The only places i have issues are BFE places that only have 3g. Hope that helps.
My experience with the 6T on Verizon has been really good. Solid reception in New York's capital district (upstate, but not rural), and activation was painless when I got the phone about a month ago.
Some worries about getting service in rural areas when we travel this summer, as in the past I'd only get 3G sometimes, but I'm going to throw my old phone in the bag just in case.
With Verizon's revised 3G sunset coming at the end of the year, I'd imagine they'll need to do something about the fringe areas that are 3G only, or risk disenfranchising the people who live there.

I'm in the NY tristate area and we have a cabin upstate in the Catskills all of the carrier's other then VZW have no service. My Samsung $10+ has only 3G while my OP 6T has 4G. Very happy with reception on (VZW) my 6T.
if I use T-Mobile in slot one and Sprint in slot 2 I get lte on both Sims but been playing with prl and apns to double the Mbps you have to fastboot erase modemst1 and 2 there's thread on it same way I've done every phone to sim unlock it motoz make sure you use right apn and slot you'll be good
I've had my 6T for about a month now, on Verizon, and it's been great so far. I work in Boston and live just outside the city and have not had any issues at all.
@kend0g whats good man, yea cmon over, the water is fine here. no CDMA, no problem.

I've had mine since release. No issues.
It's certified compatible. Just make sure you call support and have CDMA_Less added as a feature.
The phone will only do LTE, which I have not found to be an issue.

Wrong thread. This is use on Verizon.
6T on Verizon around Tampa Bay, FL and other areas in FL have been pretty good. NO worse than any other phone I've had with them on the network. Really think their service is overhyped.
My wife/daugters have iPhones, our reception is identical always no matter where we are if that helps. If their service sucks, so does mine, and when good, so is mine.

I plan to buy mine directly from OnePlus unless the T-Mobile version is unlocked to work on any carrier including Verizon, then I might consider getting it from T-Mobile.

I see your first question was answered already. The theory is that the T-Mobile versions are fully unlockable/convertible to the unlocked version. I say theory BC while I've known people who have done such (feel free to chime in @Harry44 ) and say it is fully converted, there is no guarantee that will remain the case forever. But AFAIK at present that is possible. I bought mine unlocked for fear of tmob versions having something to block Verizon.

I bought mine from OnePlus as well. I only purchase unlocked phones with no carrier tag attached.
I just switched to Verizon from TMobile. I was surprised when I saw that it can only use LTE. The prepaid plans are only on LTE anyways so it works out. The service is great! I had issues setting up an account due to their system saying that my phone isn't eligible for receiving SMS messages. The chat agents have created a ticket for it. I had to put my sim in my wife's iPhone in order to create an account. I am traveling this summer and no 3g is a little scary but honestly, an area where there is no Verizon service is just as fast as TMobile full bars of LTE. Overall 5stars from me (Dallas area).

Hence 5G"E" which stands for 5G Evolution. Its just another name for "LTE" Long Term Evolution.
Sent from my SM-G975U using XDA Labs
I was in Memphis when it showed 5G "E" but shows 4G LTE when at Home town as it should since not a 5G phone. Crazy
Sprint users have you noticed faster internet speeds? I received an update on 4/22 follow by the message about T-mobile allowing us to tap into their 5G. However, this afternoon when i got home my browsing was a bit snappy. I did a speed test on two different apps and was pulling 140 to 160 Mbps where before I was only getting 12-24 Mbps.
I got the same text, unfortunately I still have yet to get a software update to use the 5g from tmobile.
I just got the phone today, the note 8 on LTE was doing over 30mbps, I turned this on, 5G kicked on automatically and speeds at 24mbps lol. I saw this post, and checking for updates now to see if I can tap into Tmo 5g.
Is the software you have installed G988USQU1ATD6?
I haven't got 5g didn't connect to 5g for a few mins while traveling, I have noticed through signal checker being on band 2 lte at home very crappy sprint lte after profile and prl update so have been able to test speeds, before update I had excellent service on sprint
I had the software upgrade earlier this month. Today at work I had crappy service sending and receiving texts and slow network speeds. Now at home my status bar shows Sprint|SPRINT and have 5g. But with speeds of 2.5 up and .5 down at best.

Tim B: 9:08PMActually your address has 4G network, it catches the 5G signal but do not support. That is why it does not work on 5G, I can see the 5G is extending to your area, and soon you will hear a good news. Then once you connect it to 5G, it will be 10 times faster then 4G.
You: 9:09PMSo I am not the only customer with this issue in this area?
Tim B: 9:09PMYou are right.
You: 9:10PMSo I should keep my network set to 4g and avoid 5g until further notice?
Tim B: 9:10PMYou are correct.
I took a few speed tests while connected to 5G in north Florida. at best 24mbps, throughout the day it's around 1-3mbps. I'm assuming it's on one of t-mobiles low bands.
edit: I was on band 2. I used that app in another thread to only select a few to choose from, it jumped on band 66 and speeds ~100mbps. Nice.

I am in a 5G area and it is barely faster than LTE. However, I *do* get service in areas that I didn't have service before, so that is a definite improvement.

Yeah, I don't really notice a huge speed difference. But I purposely went to three areas in my city that I usually don't get any reception or bad reception, and I was able to a decent signal now. So I'm definitely glad about that, since I do Doordash part-time and need my internet to work doing those deliveries.
At my house on T-Mobile I’m getting about 80 d/l and 6 u/l on 5g, and 150 d/l and 25 u/l on 4g. Pretty unimpressed so far. With the jump from 3g to 4g there was a huge, tangible difference in speeds. I certainly didn’t lose speed.
I am on Sprint and getting 5G. At night, I got 71.4Mbps speed. I don't exactly remember the day but I think it was around 30-35Mbps

80 is about right for tmo/spr nationwide 5g.. u have to keep in mind theres 3 different 5g networks.. nationwide uses the low end which allows for more coverage but slower speeds which is what most are on..
sprint was using mid band which i pulled over 500 consistently (im in phoenix) but since the merger and about 2 weeks ago they cut the mid band from sprint in favor of tmo 5g network making my s10 5g and 7pro5g no longer able to connect to 5g networm as theyre not compatible..
basically cureently most are stuck with low band nationwide 5g as they expand their mid range and only certain urban areas will get mmWave which is 1gb+ speeds..
mmWave requires thousands of towers in covered areas as it doesnt have as much range..
what i am saying is itll get better as time goes and most other carriers dont even have a 5g connection across the us so tmo is ahead of the game..
also dont expect 1gb+ mmwave 5g anytime soon or at all unless u live in an urban area

on the bright side sprimt customers that had older 5g devices such as s10 5g are being allowed to trade in devife for s20 5g devices at discounted rates if they receive a targeted offer from sprint.

Wow that's totally weird cause TMobile themselves said they are allowing their TMobile customers in New York and Pennsylvania to use sprints 5g service. I guess I should've known that when they said they are expanding their TMobile service to include sprints 5g that it a actually meant they are removing the service. They need to work better on their communication.

It was last week. But I guess, again, when they say something they obviously mean the opposite of what they said. Those New York residents are just magically getting increased speeds.
Since the merger my speeds doubled since March. I am on tmobile five miles from NYC. Basically the other side of the Hudson River in NJ. 120mbps up and 60mbs down. Its not the greatest but its still good.
