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 Honor 8 Pro's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.
honor needs to do more with local telcos to enable features like 4g+ and VoLTE. Where I live now, I can't enjoy these yet though my telco does offer it to other phones like Mate9 and even P9.
Lte signal is good and even performance is excellent but volte calls dialled from this phone to other volte number doesn't work.

4g, LTE Network is good on sim 1 but the reception on sim 2 fluctuates too much even in the centre of the city where you expect maximum network connectivity.
Speeds on 4g are terrible, literally. Youtube struggles to stream video at 360 on 4g with good connectivity. If the connectivity is low, stop even thinking to load a webpage.
Other thing is if you switch the default mobile data to 2nd sim, it will switch 4g to 2nd sim making your sim 1 obscure if it is a 4g only network.
Also there is no way you can lock your network to 4g/3g/2g only. It floats between the 3 techs.
And last the Jio VoLTE calling issue where you the call disconnects immediately.
The phone doesn't support ViLTE.

But sadly not working on Honor products
Not working On my H8
sadly, how telco implements things like VoLTE, 4G+ (CA), etc... it's not as simple as just meeting band requirements.
as such, in Malaysia, one cannot get VoLTE and CA on any of the local telcos. hopefully, honor/ Huawei can work with the local telcos. after all, phones like P10, Mate 9 all have VoLTE working with the local telcos.
but that aside, speed is decent. i guess this depends on the telcos... whether their network is saturated or not, etc...

Yup, not as easy as we users think.
BTW it also supports carrier aggregation but this has to be supported both by device and the network.
Fortunately, in India. It's supported by both.

you're lucky... honor India seems to be very strong and active, unlike honor Malaysia where they just launch the phone and then just leave it as it is after that. rather than work with telco to enable ALL the capabilities of the phone (like VoLTE and CA), they are just focusing on marketing it as a gaming device -- partnered to sponsor Mobile Legends Championship in Malaysia.
they actually mentioned on a FB post that honor 8 Pro does not support VoLTE. quoting them:
Honor 8 Pro does not support VoLTE. However, we will take your concern as suggestion and highlight this matter to our relevant team for their attention.

Thank you for contacting Honor support.
This email is in reference to concern regarding network issue in Honor 8 Pro. We value the importance of information requested by you and we are happy to assist you.
In response to your query we would like to inform you that Jio sim only works with 4G network it will not work with 2G/3G network and at a time 4G network will work in one sim then another sim network will convert into 2G network.
Further, we are forwarding your precious feedback to the concerned department and we will try to work on it in our future update.

And now exactly this is the thing that I am trying to explain them but this is what they are replying!
That the second network converts to 2g but then you cannot just stop mobile data of sim 1 and switch on mobile data of sim 2 because that will change the 4g network to sim 2.
Quite dumb!

So I guess this is good news and bad news for T-Mobile users. The OnePlus 2 supports band 12. Awesome, right? Not quite. They did not get the T-Mobile VoLTE certification, so now those of us with T-Mobile face an issue. If you are in an area where band 12 is the strongest signal, you will likely not be able to receive/send calls or text because there is no VoLTE.
With that said - is there any way to "disable" a network band yourself in the software?

No - it won't. According to multiple posters on the OnePlus forum, because the phone senses band 12 connectivity, it will not try and fall back. That's why T-Mobile asked the companies who did not meet their band 12 certification to disable the band - at least temporarily.
"This issue that came up with Moto E/G, was that phones with Band 12 support, but not VoLTE certification for that band. It made the phone look like it had service, but wasn't able to re-route the band to receive the call. Therefore, no calls/emergency calls were able to be made. For this reason, T-Mobile started requiring the VoLTE certification or the removal of the Band 12 support. "

Unfortunately since mine shipped (should be here today, actually) I can't do that. I do already have a buyer lined up for it and my Moto X Pure should be here today as well. I REALLY wanted the OP2 though so I'm disappointed.
Is there still no news on whether the OPT will get T-Mobile VoLTE with a software update, apart from the vague "yeah maybes" that were thrown around by Oneplus a few months ago?

Motorola is at least coming out with a VoLTE setting and bringing band 12 back. They've confirmed that multiple times on the forums. OnePlus hasn't addressed it at all since a Reddit AMA with a vague answer. The issue wouldn't be so bad if it was disabled - but since it's not disabled, there will be issues with T-Mobile.

Are you sure about this? I have been reading up on this issue (including your discussion on the OnePlus forum) and most indications are that the device will fall back unless there is no available connection other than band 12. As written here:
"A Motorola employee explained recently that band 12 was removed from the Moto E (2015) at T-Mobile’s request over concerns that it could show that it has an LTE signal, but if all that it has is band 12, it couldn’t actually complete a call since it has no VoLTE support. While T-Mobile hasn’t officially commented on this matter, T-Mo spoke with Android Police off the record and said that any device on its network with band 12 also needs to support VoLTE and E911. Without VoLTE, band 12 phones on T-Mo are unable to make a call if they don’t have any other T-Mo service to fall back to, and they won’t know to roam onto another carrier’s network. Removing band 12 altogether eliminates this issue."
Not trying to argue with you or prove you wrong just trying to get some clarity on this issue while I still have time to cancel my order if need be.
It would be nice if someone with a OP2 on T-Mobile in an area with band 12 could comment.

Also, this:
Due to lack of VoLTE support you won't be able to place and receive calls including 911 calls in some buildings and some outdoor areas where 2G GSM and 3G HSPA+ (marketed by T-Mobile as "4G") signal is too weak or non-existent while LTE band 12 is available. You will still have data connection and you can receive and place non-emergency calls via Google Hangouts app (using Google Voice number). To place an emergency call you will have to either move outdoors where 2G or 3G signal is available or disable LTE to make your phone roam on another GSM network.

I can confirm that the Oneplus Two on T-mobile when on Band 12 LTE will drop to H or H+ when a call comes in if you have reception on those. I'm guessing it will also drop to Edge/GSM if a call comes in and that's the only reception you have for voice. I just did it at work right now where I'm getting Band 12 LTE. I called my cell from my work phone and the status bar dropped to H. I'm in the Los Angeles Metro area.

I have a USA Oneplus 2 Im using T-mobile and i haven't had a single issue with the phone and it works for me on LTE band
my Signal is great in California.
No problem here in Orlando, Florida.
So...this post from a similar thread in the OnePlus forums made a lot more sense to me than anything else I've read about this.
NaterTots says:
Some are getting confused in this thread.
Band 12 VoLTE support is important IF you have only Band 12 LTE coverage. Then you won't get any calls or texts since Band 12 penetrates buildings and rural areas better than the other Tmo bands.
If you're in an area that your connected to Band 12 BUT there are other bands around then your phone will switch automatically. No worries, you'll get calls and texts.
So if the OP2 doesn't support Band 12 VoLTE and you're not near any other Tmo bands then you'll not be able to make emergency calls or recieve texts.

TLDR: if there is another band available, you're fine, if not, you won't get texts or calls until there is.

Jio 4G has been testing VoLTE in India and its full fledged. Its been more than an year actually. Sadly OnePlus 2 has not yet got VoLTE support inspite of lots of people asking for it. Most phones support it. Samsung supports VoLTE out of box. For example Galaxy A8 works flawlessly by just inserting the Jio sim. No settings needed. OnePlus is not bothered since they dont have VoLTE in China and its not a priority for them.
Jio supports VoLTE and Wifi calling.
With OnePlus 2 i feel pretty useless as I am able to use only data with 4G.
When somebody advertises the phone as 4G on what bases do they do it? I know its a relatively new technology but its just a matter of a small OTA update. And there has been lots of requests and complaints regarding it.
Jio has an application called Jio Join where in you can use VoLTE functions. So with that application calling and sms works. But you dont get the HD voice quality that native VoLTE offers and the application is kind of heavy.
It'll be good if you can put this up on the Oneplus.net forum. The company needs to see it.
Seen a few complaints about this, even on twitter and facebook. Considering Reliance is still pretty much operating in stealth launch mode, with full commercial rollout still 4-6 weeks away, my guess is OPO will release it in time for that. This reminds me of how HTC m8 was crippled without 4g support, till Airtel rolled out its initial networks.

The launch is much further than that from my guess. But networks are well laid out. I get strong signal everywhere. I feel it has better signal than most current operators and seeing that it is beta stage it is great. They want to make it perfect before they launch since they are going to rely on just 4G and they won't be rolling back to 3G or 2G when there is no signal. Well 2G will be long gone in a few years time.
Phones like Galaxy S6, Iphone and others like Moto G 3rd gen, Galaxy A8 all have VoLTE support. I am able to make calls in 4G through that. Awesome clarity I must say when its 4G to 4G. VoLTE is the future.
Airtel has kind of given a bad name to 4G by rolling out in bits. Well I hope OnePlus listens to this. It's just a matter of an OTA which will include an option to enable Voice Over LTE. They have the option WIFI Calling which doesn't work. Wifi calling is also being implemented in Jio.
And OnePlus Two supports many bands. In India we also have 800 Mhz band which is being used by Jio. It's a shame that they don't have a full fledge 4G phone just because of their crippled software.

Yup its working flawless with iPhone 6s+, they had a full fledged testing to get it Apple certified as well.
But don't confuse it with "Reliance" this is a different company. Reliance Communications is a company in loss with sad networks and cheap rates!
Jio is a different company. They also have apps like Jiochat, and other beta apps like Jio Play.

It says soon. Oneplus 3 already supports it out of box, so it's not a big deal to imagine that OP2 will get it soon enough.
It should be out before the official launch of Jio. I have heard the Jio and OnePlus are working together for VoLTE fix. Maybe they would also come up with three month unlimited data and voice option too.
current OOS 3.0.2 support VoLTE ?
Same question, is this already VoLTE supported? And if not then what do i miss out?
I'm so irritated that OP2 doesn't support voLTE. Darn the flagship killer tag they put. ( REGRETS )

The phones hardware supports VoLTE it's just the software that limits the phone's capabilities
They're saying they will push an update with VoLTE support
I use jio with oneplus2 as well. The only way I can call is by using JioJoin app, as you said, but is it just me or even you cannot use the calling function if WiFi is switched on? In my case I can call or can get calls only if I have switched on data from jio and switched off the WiFi in my phone.
Is that how it is supposed to work for now, before official VoLTE support?
Thanks.

Jio has an application called Jio Join where in you can use VoLTE functions. So with that application calling and sms works. But you dont get the HD voice quality that native VoLTE offers and the application is kind of heavy.

I use jio with oneplus2 as well. The only way I can call is by using JioJoin app, as you said, but is it just me or even you cannot use the calling function if WiFi is switched on? In my case I can call or can get calls only if I have switched on data from jio and switched off the WiFi in my phone.
Is that how it is supposed to work for now, before official VoLTE support?
Thanks.

That's the only way it works right now. Calls and SMS over Jio works only on data. Even with data off or on Wifi, you wont receive or be able to make calls or send SMS. It's not an ideal solution, but its the only workaround till OnePlus rolls out VoLTE (if ever).
VoLTE is basically carrier provisioning, it doesn't require any special HW, and OnePlus 2 is capable on the HW front. But even then, I really doubt OnePlus will actually roll out an update for that.

It should be out before the official launch of Jio. I have heard the Jio and OnePlus are working together for VoLTE fix. Maybe they would also come up with three month unlimited data and voice option too.

I'm currently using jio on my opt with jiojoin app... Sadly there is no voLTE

Do any of the other ROMs for the OP2 offer VoLTE?
OnePlus are the biggest fraudsters. I have got 3 oneplus 2 phones bought in december last year and Im a reliance employee working in the same office as the Jio people and trust me OnePlus is rolling out an update since ages. I have tried contacting OnePlus at ever level email forums even mailed the owners and India General Manager but no 1 not a single person cared to reply of even acknowledge it. Just a matter of a simple OTA and we are done but the just want us to but their flagship phone the OnePlus 3. I will explain why.
VOLTE enabling need the Mobile network operator to "certify" the device from the company. OnePlus 3 supports VOLTE which means it was certified by Jio officials and only then VOLTE was enabled. Now if OnePlus could certify 1 phone why not certify the Oneplus 2 as well at the same time and roll out an official OTA in a month afterall its not a big deal to include such a small feature in 1 month. But they dont want to.
Their motto should be "Just buy our new phone" and not "Never Settle"
This is my second ZTE Axon 7 and I've had it for 5 days. I am located in the UK. The first was returned to Amazon UK due to short battery life in early August.
This one was purchased from Amazon Germany.
When I get an LTE/4G signal on my EE UK mobile SIM in my new AXON it can stay connected to 4G for several hours.
This is sitting at the same location in the office where I work, suddenly it then goes straight to slow GSM and stays on it for some time. Then it may go back to 4G after some time.
Whereas the same EE SIM inserted in my OnePlus 2 phone in the same location gives a consistent LTE/4G signal all the time.
Since the AXONi can maintain a 4G signal for several hours surely that implies the 4G reception hardware is OK.
I hope a firmware fix is possible to improve the reception?
No I don't think that this fact alone would mean any problem. All my other phones behaved in similar way in my office. Whether a phone can stay connected to a tower depends not just on the phone. Rather it depends on the provider. For instance if it think that other needs more bandwidth in that moment it can drop you to another tower. I don't know the full details but I know that there is sophisticated logic behind this behavior. On the other hand I don't want to stay that everything is OK with the software in Axon.
This phone has signal strength issues compare the db to another phone you will see it is much worse on Axon 7
People who don't have this problem are still taking the trouble to log in and write a little message telling people who do have the problem that they are imagining it or that all phones have signal issues. The person who told me it was quite normal that my phone was defective when I was asking about other people's experiences has posted quite a few times about this. Why? God knows, maybe nothing good on Netflix in his or her region.
You know, the ones that tell you they get 9 hours screen-on time when your battery drain, that professional photographers think the rubbish camera on such and such a phone is great and that they dropped their phone on concrete from ten feet up and it didn't smash...
Ignore them. I sent mine back because the signal was bad, booting me off LTE and on to Edge far too often. I'll buy it again in a while and see if I get a better one or even sooner if ZTE announces a fixes or admits they had quality control problems with a minority of units
I'm inclined to agree. There is a reception issue at least on some phones. Hard to know if it applies to all phones, with some people finding it good enough. I'm holding out for the next firmware update to see if it is worth buying again.
Is there a thread like this for A2017U? Wondering how it works on Straight Talk using the CDMA side.

I have the A2017U on Straight Talk - buy the 99 cent "bring your own phone" sim card from the straight talk website. Once you put the sim card in it update the APN and (I cannot stress this enough) TURN OFF VOLTE in the settings menu. Far and away this is the best phone I have ever had as far as reception goes.

I had weak signal reception issues with VoLTE turned on - I think the phone just wouldn't switch over from LTE to HSPA with VoLTE on. Without it trying to use the VoLTE it switches over just fine. Since I shut off the VoLTE I can't find a spot anywhere I go now with no signal, and I go out into rural areas without reason for coverage in them A LOT. My Zenfone 2 use to lose signal all the time. My Axon 7 never seems to.
I just switched it off I'll shall see how it goes. Hopefully it works better than it did. I would like to stay with AT&T. The extra data is nice.

On the A2017U it is located in settings - wireless & networks - more. Don't know if it is in the G model (Is it just me or is 99% of the problems with this phone only on the G model?)

I could be mistaken but I seriously think with VoLTE turned on that it only looks for LTE signal - once I shut it off it started working a lot better
i notice it's showing numbers instead of who's calling.. even if u saved your contacts in the phone

Hi! Any one uses or used Moto Z on T-Mobile and can confirm VoLTE, Band 12 and maybe WiFi calling?
I can confirm that Band 12 is supported as that's all I get where I live. It appears to have VoLTE as there's an option to enable "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" which has a descriptor of "Use LTE services to improve voice and other communications (recommended)." Also, I believe one of the requirements from T-Mobile for unlocked devices to use Band 12 is VoLTE capability in order to access E911 services. There's no wifi-calling on the unlocked model.

Thanks for the info! Some of my other phones although did have VoLTE in the settings as you described above, but that feature never worked.
1) So Band 12 is there
2) No WiFi Calling
3) As for VoLTE, could you check if it is really working? Disconnect from wifi, make sure LTE indicator is showing and try to make a call and see if your LTE indicator is still showing or it has changed to a lower indicator 3g or 4g.

VoLTE definitely works. I can hear it when I call people who have T-Mobile because it uses "HD-Voice". It's a shame about the Wifi calling, but you won't find it on any phone that T-Mobile doesn't sell directly because they need to have custom builds of software in order to function. I think it should be a lot easier to enable with just a Wifi APN or something, but maybe that is coming in the future. Also the Wifi calling was honestly buggy as hell on my S7E, it would echo, mute one of the callers, not transfer to LTE when I left range, and video call would freeze.

Hello
since i have unlocked the bootloader.... i cannot use VOLTE calling but i can still access the LTE services (Jio SIM)
any help for enabling VOLTE will be much appreciated
Xiaomi says redmi note 7 pro supports 3ca but hardly is anyone experiencing it. Some internal digging made clear that it does support 3ca but its not compatible with the Indian networks yet(don't know about other countries). Most of the users report some sort of network/speed problem on lte. I read a guide here on xda for enabling LTE-A on xiaomi mi a1. Was wondering if anyone could make a dedicated guide for note 7 pro too. Well xiaomi too could fix the issue but seems they show no interest and don't even address it publicly. The network on this thing really sucks, it does. And that shouldn't become the reason to hate on this lovely device.
Don't understand what I am talking about, read this - https://piunikaweb.com/2019/04/25/e...ion-likely-incompatible-with-indian-networks/
My area supports 1800+850+2300 interband ca by Jio. But no signs of its support by rn7 pro. Even while traveling I didn't notice 4g+ anywhere. And yeah the network in my area is very weak.

Can't do an anything for now buddy. That's why I made this thread requesting LTE-A support for rn7 pro. Seems that cant be done too. Only hope is if xiaomi adds lte+ support over ota itself. But for now they seem to struggle to fix even the basic bugs.

Well my concern is not speed but poor network coverage and no support for carrier aggregation. Well even about speeds I get from 0-150 kbps, at night around 1 mbps but only in a particular region in my house. But these speeds are not constant, for a second I get good speed and the next second I get none, 0. The issue with me is more of a coverage related than speed related. Though with support of 4g+ things would have been much better.

About your speed issue I think your carrier is the culprit. Are you getting slow speed issues on other devices as well with the same carrier ?

Well slow speed isn't an issue that I heard of. Network coverage and lack of 4g+ is the issue we all are facing. Are you sure all your network settings are fine like data roaming on, volte on, selection of correct apn etc.
