Help: I bought a Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5g SM-N986N (Korean LG U+ Variant) I live in the Philippines. Will the 5G work in my country? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hope someone can give me advice. I have 5g in my house, my wife uses an IPHONE 12 promax and it can detect 5G but my device cant. can anyone help me please?

I'd like to up this too. I bought a Korean single sim phone with band n78 but it cannot detect 5g while my wife's IPhone 12 can. Any advice? Tried doing the quickshortcut app technique accessing the 5g signal manually but it won't select it for some reason

Check your SIM card or contact your carrier for help.

hi! Globe uses 5G NR/NSA n78 Band, which the korean varian SM-N986N supports.
Globe also provided information for foreign visitors who would like to hook to their infrastructure while visiting Ph. (see link below. don't mind the partner carrier)
5G Technology for Mobile - Globe
5G technology is the next generation of wireless internet connectivity that offers faster speed and more reliable internet connection than ever before.

if SM-N986N can't see the 5G network while other locally bought phones can, chances are 5G NR/NSA n78 band isn't available in your area and other phones hook through other 5G bands, or your sim card does not support 5G services.
i wasn't able to verify this when I went back to Ph, since my current provider's partner network is Smart

(UK) Samsung Note 20 5G N9810 - Problems with 5G on EE

Hello all!
I bought a Note 20 5G N9810 to replace my aging Note 9. The N9810 is the Open China/Hong Kong version with SD865 and 265GB, as opposed to the Exynos model available in the UK.
Phone works great, battery lasts easily a whole day of heavy use. VoLTE and VoWiFi work fine with EE's network.
I have not been able to connect to 5G though. While the phones comes with N1, N41, N78 and N79 bands it doesn't seem to work on EE's network - which uses N78 bands.
I called EE customer care and they advised that since it has the correct 5G bands it should work and they couldn't identify the issue.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Getting 5g on a Taiwanese s20+

I live in the UK. I imported a Taiwanese s20+ 5G. Model number SM-G9860
5G will not work. It is enabled from my carrier and they have been through troubleshooting, sent a new sim, i have gone to places with good 5g coverage, so on.
I checked the update notes for the device and found it said this in the June update.
5G has been enabled.
※ Requires optimal 5G connection. 5G services are only supported in Taiwan network. Actual 5G network coverage and speed may vary on region and network service provider, since 5G international roaming service of the designated countries and areas will be supported and announced after they pass the network service provider’s verification test.

Does this mean 5G will be enabled internationally at a future unknown date?
Is it possible to flash another snapdragon rom, maybe Hong Kong (same model number) or USA (different model number) and have it enabled? The US version doesn't seem to have the above quote in the patch notes. Or am I out of luck with this device?

Advanced network scan with network specs

Hello,
I have a brand new s21 5g wothout a 5g contract.
I'd like to scan the network searching for 5g availability around me and I often saw here screenshot with
Network name - 5g
Network name - 4g
etc.
The basic scan of the s21 doesn't do that. Can you suggest me an app or something? I use netmonster but it show only the connected cells and, as I said, I have no 5g contract so no connection.
Thanks!

Question 5G support in Canada?

I am located in Vancouver, Canada. Imported a Find N earlier this month from China to replace my Fold 3. Everything works smoothly except for the 5G support. I was with Telus whose 5G frequency (N71) was not supported by Find N. Upon researching on the big 3 service providers, I found Bell uses band N66 which is supported by Find N. But when I inserted the Bell sim card, it still gives me 4G and I find no options to switch to 5G. HELP PLEASE!

Question Realme GT 2 Pro (globale model) USA carriers compatibility

I'm traveling to the US soon, and i find out most companies like t-mobile verizo and at&t don't list the phone as compatible with their networks, and more over, when putting the IMEI on those websites, it just says not compatible.. any of you has any experience in the US with this specific phone? Global model ofc
I have it here in the US and I use t-mobile. I do not get good service and do not have VOLTE or VOWIFI. I did get missed calls time to time but it still worked.
The Realme GT2 PRO has compatibility issues with T-Mobile. I'm currently using mint mobile which is an mvno of T-Mobile and the service is pretty bad. In fact mint mobile says that the Realme GT2 pro is not compatible although it does work... barely. Unfortunately I had to buy Pixel 7 for use at work which is fine because it takes so long to charge that phone I end up using the GT2 pro at night for media and gaming. It's not a band issue as much as US carriers simply don't want to status the software.
Hopefully this will change soon. I haven't tried an att mvno but that's definitely on my to do list as the 5G and 4G band compatibility is better than T-Mobile.
