This phone cannot work out of the box with 3G/4G outside of China.
Here is the latest info on a workaround.:
http://en.miui.com/thread-538090-1-1.html
Maybe this is enough, in other words, this workaround will become the official method if it works well outside China. Otherwise a new FDD-LTE model will need to be released before it makes sense to buy it.
@IXI Nyx IXI asked about data bands, so I just put a UK SIM card in my Mi 5c, enabled the workaround described on the forum, and ran some speed tests.
It looks like the workaround didn't work for me - the status bar shows a 4G connection, but the max speed I managed to get was 100 kbps:

On another phone (Vernee Thor) in the same place, same SIM card and network, I recorded 2-4 Mbps (ignore the 3G in the status bar, it dropped the 4G connection when I moved):
Finger's crossed for improved support coming!
P.S. if it's any consolation, the WiFi on the 5c is great, and easily saturates my 100 mb cable:
Hi, Can you tell me what MIUI version you have please?
Click Production Target and set to "China Unicom"
How shall I do that?! Production Target is GREYED out here - I can't change a thing!!!
Every time I switch to LTE TD-SCDMA WDMA it keeps switching back!!!
I also tried editing build.prop (ro.ril.preferred.network=20) but it doesn't accept it, either,
it ALWAYS switches back to LTE/UMTS auto PRL. Where is it stated, that this should be used?
Why doesn't it get it's infos as stated in the build.prop? hmmmmm..
Any help?
My 5C always switches from LTE to E (Edge) instead of from LTE to 3G (H or H+).
That unusable for me... I also really wonder, why I can't enable that China Unicom which seem to supports some more frequencies..

Figured it out: this PRODUCTION TARGET Setting is only working on china stable ROM 8.1.10.0. In none of the versions after this one, it's working...
I tried it out in 8.1.10.0 - and it's settable to CHINA UNICOM - and it's weel working with LTE / H / H+ / G ...
The question is: what's exactly the difference? How could we get this working in more recent ROMs? Is it the Song Assistant? (Assistant3.apk)? I can't simply copy it from the 8.1.10.0 because this version is odexed and so not compatible with the deodexed versions...
Any ideas?
I don't think the fact you can't select CHINA UNICOM makes any difference. I tried 8.1.10.0 and 8.1.19.0 and found no difference. You are correct that the CHINA UNICOM option is only available in 8.1.10.0. What I did find was my phone successfully went from 4G to H to G to E on these roms. But using the multirom it would only use 4G, if no 4G network was available I would lose signal altogether so I am not using a multirom again. The H,G and E data speeds are really poor but at least I can get a signal using a standard ROM.
I am a Chinese and I bought this smartphone 1 month ago.The fact is that we can choose China Unicom,after we put the SIM card into the phone,we can dial“*#*#1#*#*”in the dialpad，and then a app will jump out,then we can set the network in it.
I'm sorry my English is not good

So, I am having a lot of troubles with download speeds after updating on my phone. I tried putting KH3 on my phone, and it worked, but I was having issues with download speeds over the network, I went from 9mbps down/3mbps up while running stock bell KG2 to 4 mbps down/3mbps up while running KH3. I also noticed that it would constantly switch between 3G and H+. So then I flashed the original bell modem back onto it, but I'm still experiencing slow speeds, and it is still switching between 3G and H+. I then also tried disabling fast dormancy, and it is still giving me same problem
I then reflashed it back to stock bell KG2, and everything seems to work fine, and the download speeds are back to normal, and is staying connected to H+! I then tried flashing to KG5, and then I noticed the exact same thing happening, my download speeds were terrible again and was switching back and forth from 3G to H+. I then tried flashing the stock bell modem while running KG5, and again, download speeds are crap and it keeps switching between 3G and H+.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
changing between 3g and h is quite common in soon areas but if you want to turn it of you can go into settings-wireless and network-mobile networks.There you will see "network mode".Select that to choose the option you want.When its changing between 3 and h then its obviously set to auto by default.As for your download speed try to see if you are on the correct csc setting as csc settings are region based.Mark *#272*IMEI# on your phone and choose your countries csc.Sometimes when you flash a rom it might not give you automatically the one you want.For example im in spain so i need FOP but some times buy default KOR (korea) is set.Also dont forget to do wipes and re-sets after a flash to avoid any type of problem and also battery calibration as old rom info can be stored in the battery stats.

I thought this is the fast dormancy feature, that allows you to rapidly disconnect from the network once the information is sent or received. That will penalize the actual network you are on, unless the carrier network and your phone talk to each other in a way that takes battery life as well as network congestion into consideration. For this to work, both networks and smartphones have to implement a standardized version of the fast dormancy feature. Bell Canada supports this feature and by default Fast Dormancy is enabled into XXKH3 firmware.
As soon as the speed test/download is done, my phone switches to 3G. This is the proper/intended way to save you bandwidth usage. Not sure on what kernel you are but flashing back the stock kernel does solve a ton of issues, including the GPS pinpoint.

As long as the file is compatible, use Odin under "phone" section.
@yqed
sweet.I didnt realize that each firmware had a different default of fast dormancy.ive flashed a few now and all have been the same with FD active so inter-changeing between the two although ive never done kg2 to tell you the truth.I thought that it was active by default with all firmwares.Good to know anyway.cheers.
Hello.
I finally upgraded to ICS and Resurrection Remix ROM.
I have some issues in my area with 3g not "working", i.e. data will transfer with Edge (slowly) and with H(+) (quickly, but totally freeze up while the status bar shows "3G" connection, and only start again when it changes to E or H(+). It switches a lot between 3g and H, so my workaround was to use the hidden code *#301279# and disable both HSDPA and HSUPA. Which wasn't a problem as for some reason speed tests would give me 6,6mbps download with just 3G (makes no sense to me as I thought pure UMTS peaked at 384kbps?).
So anyway, when I flashed Resurrection I was pleased to see that it offers that very choice in its menus, choosing UMTS, HSDPA or both and HSUPA. Unfortunately it just won't "take" for me, with only UMTS chosen I still have H+, and hence 3G doesn't work. To make matters worse I can't get any hidden codes to work/activate in the dialer either (except for some reason *#*#4636#*#*).
So, my question is, is this due to 3rd party dialer instead of stock (and is stock dialer something I could get with RR ROM if so)?
Or is it this solution from galaxy S thread:

I've always had custom ROMs and no problem though Lite'ning, Criskelo and CheckROM probs were based from Samsung stock ROMs.
So, anyways, any way around this, so I can deactivate HSDPA/HSUPA?
No,Because you are special.

sorry ma8 REMIX is based on AOKP hence ALL samsung codes do not wrk on it with exception of a few
it has nothing 2 do with the dialer but the next ver of remix might address the issue
Oh bloody ..., now I have to find another ICS ROM again then... I need that workaround.
*sigh* any recommendations? I liked CheckROM pre ICS, but they're a bit slow with theirs.

give a try with SLIMrom ICS or Wanamalite pure ICS rom and see

Did you try if also the *#0011# works? I any case, what you need to know, is that (generally speaking) the following is true:
1) (RF related) "secret codes" are Application short cuts to the Radio firmware.
2) Thus the actual code running is in the radio (baseband processor), but there is usually a Java (Application) wrapper doing some of the menu graphics and what not, which then runs this code.
3) So, what codes are working, depends on the radio firmware and whether or not the wrapper applications have been installed with your ROM.
4) Try to copy your old "ServiceMenu" (or whatever it was called on your device) Application onto your new system.
5) Many ROMs are using minimized Kernels that disables a whole range of debugging and other (internal) service configurations, that may be needed to use the "secret codes".
Thanks for your response, even though some of it was lost on me.
Your code doesn't work either. Only one I've had work is *#*#4636#*#*.
What I find really strange is that my ROM (Resurrection Remix 1.8.1) has a gui choice for RF band as well. But even though I select UMTS only (see screenshot), I still get H coverage and my 3g acts up. Even with reboot. So if anyone has specific knowledge of this ROM, please share. I still lack posts to post in the ROM's thread in dev.

Your point 4 is beyond me I'm afraid, at least without a step-by-step recipe.
Cheers for the response though.
Toggling UMTS only has never worked for me in any AOKP rom. Turning it using *# 301279# works well. Its nice to see websites load a trickle faster because it's not waiting for the phone to switch from 3g to H/H+. Try WanamLite rom.

Alright, fella!
1. Code as mentioned doesn't work.
2. Do you have the problem where data wont transfer/load when on 3g as well? Only on Edge or H/H+? Is this an Android thing or a SGS2 thing!? I'm guessing you're not on the Telenor carrier.
3. Is WanamLite non-AOKP based then, so it'll work? Didn't fall in love with WanamLite's look, so want to be sure.

Nah I'm with 3 UK but my speeds don't get any better to be honest on h/h+. The biggest difference I've seen was me getting 400KB/s on 3g and 460KB/s on h/h+, minus the 4-5 second delay when going from 3g to h and it doesn't really matter lol.
If data didn't load on 3g I'm sure there would be millions of unhappy customers lol, it definitely should work on either. 3 UK doesn't even have a 2g network so its 3g/h or nothing.
WanamLite is a Samsung based rom so all the dialer codes work and battery life in general is better than a AOKP based rom. I think it looks ok. I'm more fussed about using good looking apps and having nice homescreens rather than themed settings menus and notification themed toggles lol
Alright, might give it a go then. ust a shame with Resurrection which is quite nice. But battery friendly is top of the priority list.
I disabled (pre upgrade to ICS) with the *#301279# code, and still got 6,6 mpbs speed on data. Which is actually about 150kbps more than I got with H/H+. ;p
Oh, and thanks to everyone!
^^ I can't give a step-by-step since I'm not running neither your ROM, nor ICS...
While in the 4636 menu, hit the button and start advanced task manager, or just hit the button again. You will then see the name of the (wrapper) application that you was accessing using that code. When you find the correct app that was running, go to ADB root shell and search for the app with something like (using that name, of course):
Code:
find / -iname "*ServiceMenu*"
Next use your, Titanium Backup, or whatever to find and copy that app to your new system... (Oh, yeah, obviously you would need to reflash your old ROM or find someone who has the old one...) Then cross your fingers and hope it works!
Thanks fella, but I ended up flashing WanamLite and just doing the code.
Now I just need to either find an sms app for ICS, or where I can select phone numbers only to show so I don't keep sending mms to email in stead of phones.
I was wondering the same thing. When my phone is on 3G, websites never load for me, they just sit there, half loaded. But as soon as it switches over to H, not H+ (never got it), they load automatically. I'm on Tesco Mobile but they use the O2 network. Is it a phone issue or a carrier issue?
Chris.
Well I'm on a Norwegian carrier, and in forums here I see loads having same issue. But a few with HTC phones as well, so perhaps an Android issue?
Anyway, what works for me is disabling H/H+ with the code *#301279#. As I get good speeds on data anyway as 3g then works like a charm. Or I did on my previous ROM Resurrection, on WanamLite I'm not so sure. Very slow ping.

I've noticed that my speeds suffer when I set 3g only. Feels more like 3 are doing it though. For example, I can get 600KB/s using 3g and roughly the same on H/H+. After a few hours though my 3g connection sits at around 45-70KB/s. As soon as I switch to H/H+ it bumps back to 600KB/s+ again. What's odd is that if I then go BACK to 3g only it maintains fast data for a few hours.........then back to under 80KB/s. Really weird
I just tested and I gave the wrong info.
If I disable both HSDPA and HSUPA in the *#301279# code I get 3g with about 360 KBPS download according to a "speedometer", but if I activate HSDPA, but _NOT_ HSUPA, I still get 3g showing in my status bar, but the speed test gave me 7,33 MBPS download! So might want to test that. It still gives me stable data!

LTE on ATT?
Has anyone experienced LTE connectivity on the ATT network? Using LTE Discovery, I have still yet to connect to LTE — only HSDPA+.
I tried doing some research on interoperability, but I'm still not even sure it SHOULD work on ATT LTE. Can anyone shed some light on this?
From ATT:
• 3G UMTS network 850/1900MHz bands
• 4G LTE network AWS / 700 / 850 / 1900MHz bands
From GSM arena on the T399:
GENERAL 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 13 / 1700 / 2100
Even though the T399 is capable on bands 850, 1900, and 700 (although I believe ATT uses the non interoperable class 17), are those frequencies not usable on LTE? Is that a limitation of the radio chip?
Unable to update, sim card not working since I tried
I just tried to update it a few times, after the reboot when it's applying the update, it fails at around 25%. Is there another way I can get Kitkat? I'm guessing it's not working because the update detects if the phone is rooted or something. Updating via Kies doesn't work, so I reverted to a backup I had in TWRP. Also, ever since I tried to update, Android has been deciding to not use my sim card (ie. no 'insert sim' notification, but when I go to settings -> more networks -> mobile networks it says 'Insert sim card to use mobile networks.') I kind of need my phone (for obvious reasons) - and if it's for calling I am willing to restore to stock (preferebly newer) firmware, even if unrooted...

LightWave is really the only "custom" ROM so far. It's stock, but debloated and optimized. However, development has (at least temporarily) ended, as its creator is currently working on porting CyanogenMod to this phone, which'll be fantastic if it can get up and running.
In the meantime, best thing would be to use a custom launcher like Nova to change how your home screens and app drawer look, and to root (if you haven't already) and install the Xposed framework (if you haven't already), and check out the Wanam module (and others), which'll allow you to enable certain features and clean up your notification panel and status bar from excessive icons and notifications.
I agree, check out Xposed and Wanam, and also the Aviate launcher recently acquired by Yahoo. It's the most organized launcher I've tried out of many though the years. Xposed and Wanam are the next best thing to Cyanogenmod, for Touchwiz stock Roms, imho...

Also, if you install Home2Shortcut from Google Play and disable Samsung S-Voice, you can configure your home button double tap to open Google Now and "ok, google" with two home taps, or anything else you want for that matter.
Simple instructions, please, for installing LightWave, etc.!
I would like to install LightWave, TWRP, and any essential related software on my T399N. Any extras can wait. I'm not using this phone with my MetroPCS service yet, but I have used it just a bit with Wi-Fi, particularly to set up my new Chromecast box.,
I skimmed the posts in the developer thread on this and was confused about what to do first, and how to do it. (I presume I'll have to use adb for part of it, and I did manage to find out how to get the phone to work with adb.) A couple of years ago, when I was first coming to this site, I probably could have figured it out from that thread, but my brain seems to be deteriorating rapidly as it nears the completion of 3/4 of a century of existence. It could also be my insomnia, that may or may not be age-related, and, last but not least, the new, cluttered, presumably more advertiser-friendly, interface that has replaced the old user-friendly interface that I think I remember from this site.
Anyway, can anyone just list the steps to accomplish the basic installation I'm talking about?
Also, is there any reason to be concerned about the update that Samsung and T-Mobile/MetroPCS have just sent me today?
I tried to look for the update for the T-MOBILE version and there was nothing for that version sadly
I need to go to T-Mobile and see how much it would cost to get my screen fixed

metro t399n tethering issues
So this is my third android from metro. Others were a Huawei Premia 4g and a galaxy exhibit. I was able to tether on both without root using the stock android hotspot. My computer runs Linux so user agent string filtering wasn't an issue. Now that I have this light, it seems tethering has become very locked down. At first I couldn't even turn the hotspot on. I thought that might change if I rooted, so I used shabbypenguins guide and twrp to root. That alone didn't get the hotspot running. I ended up installing xposed frameworks and the xtether module... behold! The hotspot would turn on! However, my pc's browser would redirect me to the T-Mobile upsell page. Freaked out worrying they finally added Linux to the list of user agents to block. To verify, I tethered my exhibit to the light and tried to get online.... upsell sight again. I know they aren't blocking this with user agent strings, it's gotta be something in the apks. used titanium backup to remove tethering provisions and tethering automation but didn't work. I've now gone through a dozen tethering apps off the play store both utilizing root and not. None of them will get me off the upsell redirect page. It looks like cm12 is still not quite there for the light so I don't want to go custom Rom just yet. Does anyone know how to fix this in the stock Rom?
@mjbrady83
I use WiFi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso on my Galaxy Light without issue, but I also have T-Mobile with a 5gb tethering plan built-in, so I don't know if that makes any difference.

Hi I have a Galaxy Light SGH-T399 and I flash the stock rom for this phone (T399UVUAMJ4_T399TMBAMJ4_TMB) all good until a load for first time he ask de pin number but he is keeping searching network and dont connect never with the network. When I go to make a phone call he said "no registrado en la red" or not registered in network. I read a few post in some forums and dont find any solution. Please anyone can help. I try some methods like:
1- put in airplane mode and out some time
2- pull out the sim card and put in again
3- remove sim card and battery for 5 min
4- wipe data/factory reset
Please I need help I dont have any other phone, I live in Cuba and the resourses here is very limited.
Regards Michel.

I can't say for certain, but it appears to me that the phone is carrier locked. You might be able to get T-Mobile to unlock it, or get an unlock code off eBay or one of those websites that sells them, but I have no idea how you would go about doing this, you being in Cuba and all...
Custom Kernel?
I guess this is the most relevant place to post this...
I was wondering if anyone was willing to make a custom kernel for this phone. I have no experience with this sort of thing so I'm just asking...
Anyways I really love this little phone. It's so dirt cheap now a days (Like $50 on eBay) and I think it's an excellent phone.
I just think it's missing a couple of things that could be added in a custom kernel.
1. Wolfson Control
This device does in fact have a Wolfson WM1811 DAC (Like the International S3 and Note II).
You can bump up the volume in default_gain.conf but actual Wolfson Control would be much better as you could change the analog volume on the fly and enable some of the important DAC features to improve sound quality, especially the hardware Equalizer and some of the other settings. See screenshots

2. Button Light Notifications
One thing that really bothers me about this phone is a lack of a notification LED...
Back when I had an original Galaxy Note it also had this problem, and lots of kernels implemented a way for the Menu/Back button LEDs to act as your notification LED. It was wonderful and I think this device really could use it!
I guess besides that overclocking and maybe if enabling USB OTG would be pretty cool!
Anyways If anyone experienced in making a custom kernel is interested I would be more than happy to help in whatever way possible!
Thanks.

I Wanna Recieve More About That Phone Thanks
I'm inviting all fellow uses to view my thread and the progress I've made on my device. so far I've enabled init.d & vm swapfile capabilities, and have had monstrous results from init.d scripting & Virtual RAM expansion.

Under [Subscrptions], there is <t-mobile.com> which will Auto Connect after you reboot your phone.
Unfortunately, it will re-install itself after you reboot your phone even you perform "Forget" or "Delete" it. ( yes, I have PM uninstall all T-mobile packages already )
Anyone know how to delete it or what it is?

1. "T-mobile.com" is wifi subscription.
2. I do not have wifi subscription via T-mobile.
3. My other phone, Samsung a32 will not auto install this subscription under my Saved Wifi.
4. Even if I disconect this subscription, my phone still works without issue as well as Wifi.
5. I do not wish to have it auto-connected after reboot.
Can you provie solution instead throw me more questions?

This is not related to Wi-Fi in any way. Notice how it simply says "Saved networks", then below "t-mobile.com", it has "Wi-Fi Networks". This implies, as far as I'm aware, that it is not Wi-Fi, but rather your cellular data subscription from T-Mobile.

so you don't have the real answer to my question.
It could just be hard coded into the tmobile branded phones to give you access to tmobile hotspots.

This could be it.
However, I also have T-mobile branded Samsung A32 5g but it does not re-install "t-mobile.com" under [Saved networks] menu after I delete it. That's why I like to know if I can prevent auto-install after I delete it.
FYI, I have already PM uninstalled all tmo packages.
I want to say many phones ago I had a similar issue with a package that happened on one phone and not another. What I remember of it was the AOKP guys went digging into it and they found that on the tmobile branded version of that phone in the original rom it was buried deep enough it couldn't be turned off. I am not sure if it was the same package but I do recall it had something to do with their wifi networks.

This makes sense. Glad you could clear this up, I was also curious.
I wouldn't swear it's cleared up lol. Like I said I could be wrong, I just remember it was a package that the AOKP guys went looking for in the stock rom for the phone (Motorola cliq or cliq2 maybe) and that it was something to do with the wifi but it was harmless just gave you access to their instore wifi stuff. I'll leave the clearing up to people much smarter than me......

Yeah I see what you mean. I'll still leave this as a possible theory until it's 100% confirmed.
Hi all,
Bellow you can find some info on how to attempt to enable VoLTE in unsupported countries (tested in Romania, Digi carrier) using Shizuku and Pixel IMS app for it.
This assumes that you have ADB and drivers properly setup beforehand.
1. Go to Playstore and install Shizuku app.
2. With the app opened, open up a terminal and write
Code:
adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/start.sh
to start it
3. Check the app. It should say Shizuku is running.
4. Download and install this apk
5. In your app drawer find Pixel IMS app, open it and click on allow all the time for "Allow Pixel IMS to access Shizuku"
6. Hit the enable VoLTE button at the lower left.
7. The original guide says to restart the phone several times, but for me it started working right away.
Also, it kept working after uninstalling Pixel IMS and Shizuku apps.
The original author mentions that it should survive reboots but is unaware of system updates. However, being quite an easy method, it should not be a problem to reenable.
Thanks go to the original author and u/redeletv on Reddit who posted it.
There is a newer version which adds support for VoWiFi as well.
Thank you. Volte work on pixel 6 and pixel 7. Vowifi IS in menu
Working perfectly with my Pixel 7 Pro without restart, first try. It survives reboot.
I'm from Serbia and using mt:s with esim.
Not sure if that actually works for me (Poland)... VoLTE toggle showed up in carrier settings, but I can't see any difference. Is there any way to check if callings are made through LTE/WiFi? When I call someone it's H+ or 3G showed up on the top :/
But, when I have WiFi on, wifi icon remains, so it's wifi calling, right?

Wifi and "HD" icons should appear in your call history.

Some carriers might require that your number has been previously provisioned with VoLTE on a device supported by them officially.
If this could apply to you as well, and you have never used your SIM card previously in a supported device, then this will not work simply because on the carrier side the feature is still disabled.

So, do you think if I'd put my SIM card into my gf's Oneplus (which has certified VoLTE for my carrier) for a while and make a call, then put it back to my Pixel, there's a chance it will be activated?
Working like a charm, with my device, no need to reboot.

I can not speak for your carrier and what it takes to enable it. If your carrier supports this method, then yes, having your SIM in a supported phone until the feature is enabled should make it work afterwards in your Pixel if you followed this guide.
You are great man !! it's working for me in Egypt ! Thanks a lot !!!!!!

It's working after sending activating SMS!! Thanks a lot, works great!
It's working, Yettel Bulgaria. Thank you!
I'm on a rooted Pixel6, also on Digi in Romania. Been using a volte enabler magisk module which works fine. Any downside to getting rid of that magisk module and using this instead? The module I'm using is pretty old and I'd like to switch to something more recent and tailor-made for tensor chips.
Any idea if i need to use ADB if I'm already rooted? Can I skip the ADB part?
Hey @morphvale ! Appreciate you sharing this.
I posted this on @kyujin-cho GitHub, but will share also here.
Just wanted to share some feedback on trying your patch on Pixel 6 running on T-Mobile Poland network.
Since Android 13 VoLTE works on Pixel 6 out of the box, but not WiFi Calling.
I followed your instructions and run the script, then switched WiFi Calling on in the app.
WiFi Calling setting appeared right away, however I couldn't force it to work even after few reboots.
On top of that, whenever WiFi Calling is enabled in the device settings, phone can't register for VoLTE and calls are being placed over 3G.
Carrier supports WiFi Calling and I have it enabled on my line (I was using it with iPhone 7 previously).

Cheers!
Version 1.2.0 brings separate toggles for VoLTE/VoWiFi and a new Material design.

You don't have to use ADB at all. You can either start Shizuku with Wireless ADB which doesn't require a computer, or by granting it root access.
Tested with my Google Pixel 6 with Vivo operator in Brazil and it is working perfectly, for both VoLTE and VoWiFi (WiFi Calling)!!!
Many tranks!
For those wondering, yes it works for all the MVNOs on Altan for Mexico, you get VoLTE on those sims, you just need to activate the sim on another VoLTE compatible phone and then swap the sim on your Pixel
