Is there a way to enable 5G support on international version OP 8 Pro? I saw that it may be enabled in a future update, but it is not even in the menu.

I'm on T-Mobile in the US and I have a S7E International Dual-SIM version coming soon. I ordered it because I want the ability to root and flash ROMs, which doesn't sound possible for the US Snapdragon versions.
I noticed after I ordered that T-Mobile's Wifi Calling and VoLTE (and maybe Band 12?) do not work on the International S7s. Band 12 and VoLTE aren't a big deal as B12 isn't available in my area and likely won't be.
But Wifi Calling would be useful. Is it possible that it could be added to a custom ROM?
Thanks.
Welcome to XDA! I have a G930FD which should be very similar. I have an option to enable VoLTE when available, but nothing for wifi calling.
Also, I think it supports band 12 as well:

BTW, for future reference, questions should be posted here:

Your thread will be moved there shortly.

Hi I am interested in buying the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g mainly because T-Mobile is going live with 5g where I live on Decemeber 6th 2019. But from what I know the this phone doesn't support the 5g bands for T-Mobile.
I heard that there is a way to unlock those bands on Qualcomm devices and this phone uses the Snapdragon SOC.
Can this be done?

So the bands for 5g that tmobile supports is not dependent on just the processor, its also dependent on what the manufacturer decides on. As with all phones, you need to see what is the most compatible cell phone provider for that phone. If the mi mix 3 does not support tmobile bands, there's no way to force it to.

Correct. I've had a discussion on a Mi Mix 3 5g thread where this guy says it's a update thing not a hardware thing. Which I feel he's clearly wrong. Cell bands have nothing to do with updates, it's a hardware thing.
Dear slimegpod,
The frequency is supported in hardware but we did trials and only the Vodafone and global rom version has the Vodafone de 5g Network activated.
So I am on eu rom and cannot use Vodafone de 5g only Telekom and I am planning to switch ROMs but waiting for a moment to unlock since I will lose all my data.

Yes but I'm in the States and no carrier supports the Mix 3 5g. What other ROMs are you waiting for to install?
Carrier Support Not needed for mi mix 3 5g
Dear slimegood,
I called my carrier and the result was that they communicated the values to connect to the 5g network to Xiaomi and they need to add it to their firmware. The problem being that some variants of the firmware have not picked up the configuration options.

Any luck? The phone does not support 5G out of the box. According to manufacturers website, "5G function will be available via OTA update. Update times depend on your specific carrier and network."
Let us know if you find a way to do it without the OTA update.

There should be a option under network settings. I it seems the development for this device is crap though (as far as the updates are concerned). It sucks it's on MIUI v10 which I understand why but they still should've had this figured out before releasing it.
Thanks.
Well thanks for the feedback, if the firmware gets released somebody let me know. I really like the phone, but compatibility with USA 5g is really important to me.
i dont think it will ever get 5g support in the states - it uses a different 5g tech than what the us telecoms are proceeding with as far as i was told.
Stating that - i use it on t-mobile and i get great 4g in most places.
The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren 5G has a Qualcomm X55. Qualcomm website says the modem supports mmWave. Does this phone not support it cause it's physically disabled via firmware or needs another antenna?

On a hardware level, I think they just didn't include a mmWave antenna. Of course, on a firmware level, they also probably modified it to have the X55 modem not utilize mmWave. This probably means it'll have better battery life too!

One thing is I see band settings for n78 which is Europe 5g band.
May be there is hidden support for n78
I am looking at swappa and they list two versions of the oneplus 8 pro. Whats the difference? Is one phone more inferior than the other?

There are people on REDDIT that say they're using the non us version (2023, not 2020) on Verizon just fine. They claim the US version has CDMA support but it seems you still have to enable CDMA-Less for it to even work. So if you're going CDMA-Less anyway, why do you need the US version?
Am I missing something? If you compare bands they support they both list the Verizon LTE bands, no?

That site is confusing, trying to find it but 2023 has different bands than 2020, I know 2020 won't work but 2023 should. If I find it I'll come back and post it. (BTW, your link is IN2020 and HD2023, not IN2023....)
Here we go
IN2020 - No B13: https://www.frequencycheck.com/carr...20-bbk-galilei/verizon-wireless-united-states
IN2023 - Has all the LTE bands: https://www.frequencycheck.com/carr...23-bbk-galilei/verizon-wireless-united-states
I am living in a region which only got n77 for 5G network
Just wondering can it be done via pc software editing or something like the volte method.
Its brother find x2 pro comes with n77 by default, but it is not officially available on onelpus 8 pro.
I'm trying to find out about unlocking bands using regional firmware but even Oneplus aren't giving me a straight forward answer on this
I brought oneplus 8t 5g from India to Bangkok. operator in Thailand(AIS) uses N41 Band and in India N78... Here 5g is not working, what can i do to make it work.. kindly help
My 8 pro in my (network) country does not have 5g. (I have a new 5g SIM)
I talk to OnePlus tech and they say that it will be solved in future updates.
It will be faster if each one of you talk to Oneplus tech and they see that many people need more 5g bands.

I am trying to talk to them almost on daily basis but they are providing any solution for the problem. Poor customer service from them
