Current Ascent Mate 7 is not US-carrier compatible, a new model being release will be

My apologies for the multiple threads. If the moderators see the other one, please delete it.
i spent part of tonight emailing back and forth with Huawei's customer support. You would have to scroll through the public emails I posted and their public responses. What I don't get is why NO reporter NO journalist NO ONE in tech thought to ask Huawei straight out if there is ANOTHER model coming out for the US market? NOTHING I've read talked abou it, so, I asked them, and they responded:
The current model is NOT US-carrier compatible for the following reasons (quoted from their email response):
Huawei Mobile
Thank you for your mail.
Huawei Ascend Mate7 specification is the same, but the 4G frequency is not the same, it support 4G LTE FDD Band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28(Aphase), It will be released in the United States.
I went on to ask them when the US-compatible version would be available and they said the following:
Huawei Mobile
Thank you for your mail.
Huawei Ascend Mate7 have a version can work in the United States, but there is no release.

But with all those LTE frequencies, doesn't it kind of have to be compatible? AT&T uses band 2, 4 and 17 so this phone should work on AT&T LTE since it supports band 4.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. From Huawei, I got that it isn't compatible with any US-carrier's networks, how is it working with T-Mobile's LTE network? How was that confirmed that it will work with T-Mobile's LTE? Just curious what you mean here?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the youtube link. I think I'm going to wait until I know that it is supportrd by T-mobile's LTE network. He states in the video that he put a T-mobile SIM in therr and it worked fine, just want to double-check with Huawei and see what they say. It's a lot of money for a new devuce, just want to be sure.

Don't waste your time ask Huawei service team.. They doesnt know the phone much than you.
There is 2GB+16GB ROM version FDD-LTE band: B1/B3 1800MHz/2100MHz
3GB RAM+32GB ROM version FDD-LTE band: B1/B3/B7 1800MHz/2100MHz/2600MHz
T-Mobile FDD-LTE: 1700/2100 ?
There are only B1/B3/B7 now because the MIIT(Ministry of Industry and Information Technology,Chinese Telecom manage department) limited.
You will enjoy more bands after un-limited-- Need 2-3 months since Chinese FDD-LTE marketing develop slowly.
Yes, Need flash NEW ROM un-limited then.

This still doesn't answer the question as to why the hell the Mate 7 works on T-Mobile LTE (at least according to the guy that reviewed it in the video). Huawei says it doesn't, your spec images say it doesn't, but it does?

If the T-mobile LTE band is 2100MHz, works no problem.
You will unlock the band after NEW ROM released out.

You need Both 1700/2100MHz support the same time then 4G available.
Here it is a document of T-mobile about Network band:

Are you saying all it needs is a software update later on to support LTE on more US carriers?

THIS is why it makes sense to wait. The device is very expensive. rather than plunk down that kind of money for something that "may" work with US carriers, wouldn't it make sense to just wait and see what else is released?

Just because it was working doesn't mean he got full LTE speed. As far as my research took me Band 4 (AWS) of T-Mobile uses a 2100 MHz range downlink and 1700 MHz range uplink.
Specs on the Huawei site lists a whole slew of bands, including band 4. It is strange though that sellers on Alibaba and emails from oppomart.com state to the contrary. I just asked oppomart about this and pointed them to the Huawei spec page, and they said then it should support band 4...

Does Xperia X Compact support: VoLTE, Band 12 and WiFi Calling on T-Mobile?

Hi guys!
Was planning to buy Xperia X Compact, but need to find out if it supports T-Mobile features, such as Band 12, VoLTE and maybe WiFi Calling(not the priority for me). Any person tried this phone on T-Mobile?

I just got this phone yesterday and it's running fine on T-Mobile though I'm in a band 4 area right now. FrequencyCheck (https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/GNNDM/sony-xperia-x-compact-f5321-td-lte-sony-kugo-ss) says it supports band 12, but I have yet to experience it myself.

Technically speaking the phone does support it, but would be interesting to see if phone does support it on T-Mobile network.

Time will tell on this one. Tmobile has been picking up a lot of 700 mhz spectrum lately but it's not all deployed yet. I think it's mainly due to awaiting FCC approval.

Are you guys using the US version? I ordered the UK version and I'm sending the US back to Amazon because I want the fingerprint scanner. Don't feel like flashing the phone. I'm assuming they have the same bands for Tmobile. Well hopefully they are the same.

Hopefully nothing goes bad on you within the first year. You lose your warranty with the UK version. The US version is so incredibly easy to flash firmware. You just launch a program and click a few options.

Band 12 works fine for me. I believe the phone supports all T-Mobile LTE bands, I get pretty good speed tests too.
I don't know if or how wifi calling would work. I've never seen a way to get it on non T-Mobile branded devices, I would certainly be interested in enabling it though.

I think Nougat has wifi calling baked into Android itself if I remember correctly. So hopefully the update comes soon.

I'm debating on buying the X Compact or the X Performance. The Performance has a 5 inch screen, not much bigger than the Compact. Anyone with any thoughts on the X Performance ?
Thank You, Vinny

Can you test whether it actually supports VoLTE?
When connected to band 12, try making a call: if it drops to H+ then it supports band 12 but no VoLTE.
If it stays on LTE during the call, it actually works with VoLTE

Galaxy S10+ Model G9750

IMHO the SM-G9750 (Hong Kong) is the best variant. Why? A number of reasons. There's very little Bloatware, works on all CDMA and GSM Networks, has Dual SIM's, Bootloader Unlocked and most importantly a Snapdragon SoC.

Mine is working great on US T- mobile out of the box. I have VoLTE, wifi calling and data speeds are great. Nice to actually have the best phone on the planet for once. Looking forward to root and adblocking!

I received the S10+ 128gb SM9750 from hong kong since last thursday. I couldnt be happier.
I plan to upgrade to 1TB sometime in April when the prices go down.
Best SoC, faster updates and a great network coverage.
If you have any questions, ask away.

Work Hong Kong version on Germany?

T-Mobile's CSC Code is TMB, the Hong Kong (SM-G9750) Active and Available CSC Code is TGY. This is the first time I've seen VoLTE and Wifi Calling working on a US Carrier's Network without changing the Hong Kong TGY CSC Code. How did you accomplish this?

I just put in the SIM card from my T-Mobile branded Galaxy S7. Apparently US carrier firmware is embedded and installed automatically depending on the SIM card. Pretty neat. My Samsung Pay is still the HK version but works fine. I'm missing tmo video calling, real time texting and advanced messaging though. Also phone does not support band 71.

where did you buy from?I also would like to buy HK variant S10 plus G9750 with SD855 and dual sim.But I heard it is missing band 71. For me VOLTE and WIFI calling is very important.Please advise.Thanks

VoLTE and wifi calling on TMo work great, but I've found the phone is not configured for carrier aggregation, which negatively affects download speeds. Oddly enough, upload speeds are generally great. I got the the phone on eBay from seller "never-msrp"

As an example, from home my S7 (with CA) generally downloads @ ~75 Mbps, and the S10+ is around 35. Samsung pay works fine but is Hong Kong version (Chinese ads etc.) Band 71 (600 MHz) is generally used in rural areas but is likely to become more important in cities in the next few years.

I checked from the service menu (*#0011#) while doing a speed test and it's definitely not doing CA. I've watched it happen from there on my S7.
What's annoying is that it initially spikes to ~55 and then backs down steadily, like it's being throttled, or waiting for another tower to pick up the slack or something. Upload is the opposite, it starts slow and steadily climbs, almost always to a higher number than the download.
I'm in Manhattan and mostly have excellent coverage except for the 1928 building I work in that's built like a brick ****house. Wifi and HD calling are a must there. The signal repeaters are always on the fritz in my part of the building.

No call recording option. Also, the camera shutter sound can't be turned off because of HK upskirt laws. But if you put the phone on silent you won't hear it. Also in order to get the VoLTE and wifi calling status bar icons you need to pull down the status bar, hit the three dots and select button order. These features are apparently installed after you put the sim in. I didn't notice the wifi calling one before, but it's there. Enjoy your phones, they are truly amazing

That would be the exynos model your after then it has volte ,wifi calling out of the box...plus it has a much better single core than the sd 855 and faster updates seems to be more battery friendly to as i also get 8-9 hours sot... exynos is allot more powerful ...qualcomm payout more cash to make the sd 855 sound more better

Have anyone tried OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition with another US Carrier

Hi everybody,
We moved to T-Mobile and got a new iPhone XI and a OnePlus 7 T Pro 5G McLaren. My wife is not happy with the quality of the audio and what to switch back to Verizon or AT&T, and I wonder if any of you have tried the OnePlus with those carriers and if the phone works with them as well as 5G
Thanks for your responses.
Happy holidays,

Verizon is CDMA and I dont think the oneplus from tmobile will work

I tried mine on Sprint last night but I couldn't get it working. I read that once they merge it will work on that Network so I would think it would work but maybe I'm wrong. I'm going to play with it some more.

You may need to go into settings and sim unlock the device first if you haven't already

CDMA doesn't matter anymore and is being shut down. Verizon only allows new devices on its VoLTE network and the phone supports all of Verizon's bands.
But the main problem is that Verizon won't allow the device for purely arbitrary reasons if the BYOD check rejection is any indication. Same goes for Sprint.
It should work fine on AT&T minus 5G support. If you had bought the Note 10+ 5G from T-Mobile, I believe that does support AT&T's low-band 5G (assuming you have the right plan) that just launched.

So far no one has tried. :crying:

I had my T-Mobile 5G McLaren unlocked for T-Mobile.
It works with a Verizon Sim with data only.
When I try to make it a outgoing call the phone app crashes and there is no incoming and outgoing text messages but data works just fine.

The OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren takes advantage of T-Mobile 600 MHz lowband 5G; currently, no other US carrier supports 600 MHz lowband 5G. Consequently, if you unlocked the sim on the 5G McLaren, you could use with other carriers but you would currently lose access to lowband 5G with other carriers. Moreover, as far as I know, the 5G McLaren does not have an antenna for mmWave 5G, so you would not be able to utilize mmWave 5G on any carrier. In my experience, modern call quality is more dependent upon the particular phone than carrier, so maybe your spouse could try a different phone than whatever current one? Good luck!

I messed with it some more and have had some success. I already have mine sim unlocked. I'm not worried about the 5g as that is a joke. I can't get more than 2mb down and 1mb up with 5g. Yes you are reading that correctly. TMobile sucks in new Orleans. I am getting LTE with Sprint and was able to make calls. I will post back once I get it all figured out.

The OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren takes advantage of T-Mobile 600 MHz lowband 5G; currently, no other US carrier supports lowband 5G. Consequently, if you unlocked the sim on the 5G McLaren, you could use with other carriers but you would currently lose access to lowband 5G with other carriers.

This is false. AT&T is live with n5 (850 MHz) in a dozen or two cities. It's the same dumb approach they used for HD Voice, but 5G is being lit up market by market.

I don't think n5 is enabled in the firmware. T-Mobile's 600 MHz lowband 5G uses n71. T-Mobile planned to add n41 if the Sprint Merger goes through. So, I don't think someone would be able to use it on AT&T n5, because the n5 band is not enabled in the firmware.

Correct. n5 is only enabled on the AT&T and T-Mobile branded Note 10+ 5G. Maybe Sprint's too if it ever shows up. Even then, I'd only trust the AT&T one for obvious reasons.
If anyone ever gets around to playing around with the McLaren 5G in QXDM or QPST, it would be fascinating to see what the modem is actually capable of and whether anything can be enabled. There should be no problem with the antenna and chip supporting it.

The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren 5G has the Snapdragon X55 chip in it. Which means it supports all current US based forms of 5G. However the chip is software locked by OP to just low band, I assume until TMobile releases mid and high band.

I have a unlocked 7t pro mclaren that i got from t mobile. I have it on at&t right now. It's working out great. But as said be for the 5g does not work on at&t right now. The one thing that i did do was update the oneplus logkit. So i could enable volte and video calling. But still no calling over WiFi with at&t.

Thanks for the explanation, I am willing to sacrifice the none 5G but I need to know it works, otherwise... I cannot do it.

Thanks for the comment, really helpful, I wish you have it tried in Verizon as well

I had my T-Mobile 5G McLaren unlocked for T-Mobile.
It works with a Verizon Sim with data only.
When I try to make it a outgoing call the phone app crashes and there is no incoming and outgoing text messages but data works just fine.

Thanks for the update... but as you can imagine, I need the phone fully operational.... so it looks like going to Verizon is not an option for me so far.

The phone can be used on Verizon fully. You need a Sim and you also need to call in to tech support and have them set your account up for CDMAless.

Hello,
Idk how much this will help you but, I’ve been an ATT subscriber for over 5 years, I live in Naples FL, and have traveled around the state and always have good service. I keep ATT because it’s easy to switch your SIM card and use the next phone on the networt, I buy a lot of unlocked phones. I am currently using the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren edition, not the 5G version, on the network and all is well. ATT is great but, I am thinking of switching to T-Mobile once the other phones on my account are paid off, only because of T-Mobiles less expensive plans.

How to enable 5G?

Today Vodafone NL launched 5G in part of the Netherlands and I was anxious to start using it. However I can't seem to find a way to enable it on my OP8Pro I can only choose 2g / 2g+3g / 2g+3g+4g
I am using 2 simcards and am aware that using dualsim can bother the 5g option. Only tray 1 supports it for now according to OP. Still when I remove the 2nd Sim I don't get 5g
Anyone have a clue how to enable it?

Here's what I see in Sim settings

I think you need a specific 5G card for that, I might be wrong. Also your mobile data plan needs to support 5G.

According to my provider both my simcard and my data plan support 5g, they even started that I should have massive reception at my location. I tested it with a Samsung S20 and it works like a charm. Somehow my OP8Pro doesn't work and Vodafone doesn't want to help because they don't sell the OP.

Well, according to the manual, you should see the option 2G/3G/4G/5G (Automatic)...
Also, I found this in the manual too:
Restrictions in 5GHz band
The device is restricted to indoor use only when
operating in the 5150 to 5350 MHz frequency
range in following countries:
AT, BE, BG, HR, CY, CZ, DK, EE, FI, FR, DE, EL, HU, IE, IT, LV, LT, LU, MT, NL, PL, PT, RO, SK, SI, ES, SE, UK
Click to expand...

And these are the bands supported by the OP8: n1, n3, n7, n28, n78
And these by the S20: n1, n3, n5, n7, n8, n28, n40, n77, n78
So it looks like the S20 supports 4 extra bands which the OP8 does not(n5, n8, n40, n77).
I don't know what band Vodafone is using in the Netherlands unfortunately, couldn't find information about this.
What you could try is to reset the APNs in the Network settings to default, then restart the phone. Other than this, I'm clueless.
One more thing. Make sure the SIM is in the first slot indicated by SIM1.

It seems they're using Dynamic Spectrum Sharing over the 4g bands but not sure which one(s) they use. Sadly the s20 does work so it seems it must be one of the bands the OP8Pro doesn't support

It does support it but it has to be enabled by a firmware update. I read it on an other forum. Iets met Tweakers

Came enabled on mine
Speak with your provider, it's not something you can turn on on your device.
Also might be noteworthy, when I had two Sims in it wouldn't do to 5G. Soon as I put just my contract one in I saw 5G.

That's probably why it doesn't work because they don't sell it. Some unlocked devices lack proper carrier settings for that stuff.

Turn your phone off and just pop in the one SIM like I said.

It seems Oneplus has disabled the 5g functionality for EU devices and are working on a fix which will be provided over OTA. They're providing an update for some European providers but Vodafone NL isn't one of them (yet)

5G is disabled with 2 sim cards cause there is actually a issue with 2 sim cards. They will fix it later via update. It works only with 1 sim card.

Why is it listed on my device ? If that's the case? Posted a screen shot a few posts back

You say you removed second SIM but your screen shot shows 2 sims active.

Vodafone Netherlands is using a part of the existing 1800 4g bandwidth for 5g. (N3)
Don't expect it to be faster then the existing 4g.
The other providers are not going to support 5g existing frequenties. But instead will wait for the government to auction the new 700 and 1400 in June. all providers are already installing the radios and antennas for those frequenties through the country. So expect to be able to use 5g in the Netherlands in June in most major city's.
Unfortunately the needed 3500 will not be made available by the government in the Nederlands till 2022.
Greetings from a Dutch telecom engineer.

How do you mean it is disabled? (you posted another thread about this)
Do you have 5G listed under your preferred network type? (should say 5G / 4G / 3G / 2G (Automatic) )
If so, then 5G is enabled on the handset.
If not, do you have 2 SIM cards inserted? - if you do, 5G will be disabled
Is your ONE SIM card 5G enabled? - if not, 5G will be disabled
