Question Why never 5G connection? - Moto Edge 30 Pro

When i bought the Edge 30 Pro i was promised 5G, but it never connects to 5G.
I have a ipone with 5G, a samsung with 5G, and they can connect to 5G on the same spot. With 200mbps or more
The edge 30 Pro only to 4g+ and maks 80 mbps. I was reading at the lenovo motorola forum that some had to wait for the 5G update? Not sure what that means:
English Community-Lenovo Community
I can see 4G/5G network option in preferred network. (same line)
My sim card is 5G ready. Is there something i missed here?

Check if the Moto Edge 30 Pro can use the bands from your SIM card carrier.

Xperia SX Band Question

I need some technical help; I want to purchase a SONY xperia SX or praying a 850/1900 shows up soon as I doubt the nexus variant will be this small (if it even will come).
However the spec sheet shows that:
LTE 2100 (Band I)
HSPA+ 800 (Band VI), 800 (Band XIX), 2100 (Band I) GSM 850/900/1800/1900
I want to use the phone on AT&T HSPA which is Band II (1900) and Band V (850) <-this one
This WONT work right even though Band VI and XIX are narrower in TX/RX than Band V? I don't want to spend $900 and be stuck using this phone on 2G/EDGE only. Stupid bands.
please forgive me as I posted in the arc s q&a but I never got a reply. i figure there are enough technical minded folk here that can answer my question.
T-Mobile USA
Similar question as OP, except for bands on T-Mobile (1700MHz & 2100MHz needed for 4G). I use an SE Xperia Ray (ST18a) on T-Mobile US, but only get 2G. It is adequate for now. Was wondering if I would be losing ALL data functionality or might gain some with the Sony Xperia SX SO-05D.
Thanks!
I have one!
I live in Japan and have just purchased an SX.
If there is anything I can do with the handset to answer your questions let me know how.
I am experienced in the fact i can follow forum instructions quite well (have rooted/Jailbroken/flashed custom firmware etc on mine and my friends' phones) but a newbie in the fact I have never coded, made my own ROMs etc.
As this is a Japan exclusive phone I really want to know if I am going to be able to flash custom ROMs etc? It seems there is already a "one-click root" on the Japanese forums but CWM isn't fully working yet and i don't know if they will develop ROMs or port CyanogenMod to it.
Seeing as SE are really unreliable with updates I would like to have a failsafe in case they dont release any. How would I go about porting CM10 for example myself? Is it something only an experienced coder can do?
Many thanks in advance.
As I previously wrote: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39144776#post39144776
I have been using an SX on AT&T in the USA for a couple months. LTE does not work but HSPA seems OK. Using speedtest.net, I have seen over 4 Mbps but usually it is much closer to 1 Mbps in practical use. That's a far cry from the theoretical maximum for HSPA, but it's pretty fast.

Can anyone confirm Band 4 support?

It's supposed to support Band 4 LTE and H+ with a change in APN settings. Therefore it should work on T-Mobile USA. Can anyone please confirm? A few guys here on Band 4 in Argentina say it works.
Would like to know as well, bump.
It does work. I have straighttalk with the att lte sim card and i was getting LTE speeds on the vendor rom that came with the note 3 pro but then i upgraded to the official global (was afraid vendor rom was infected with malware) and since im using the official global rom all i get is HSPA+. Cant seem to figure out what changed from roms that i cant get lte back. But to confirm yes it does get lte and hspa+

That's great news. May I ask which vendor you bought it from. There are three versions apparently China, Global and India. Global definitely works but some China versions don't. Don't know about India. I bought mine from Gearbest with the Focal Tech vendor rom that I haven't changed but I have no way confirming which version it is though I suspect it's one of the China versions. Is there any way to find out? T-Mobile H+ is plenty fast but it would be nice to have LTE.

I bought it from banggood.com, it was i think 25 dollars cheaper than gearbest at the time (3gb ram, 32gb model). I was getting LTE and over 25mbps always but once i flashed the official global rom all i can get is a little over 8mbps. This seems to be a common issue as ive seen it posted various times. (screenshot for speed reference. had more lte speed comparisons but i deleted the app once so i only have the only in the screenshot)

LG G5 Model RS988 will have AT&T LTE?

I'm seriously considering the LG G5 Model RS988 that you can get on Amazon because it's cheaper and easier to get that at AT&T or Best Buy, but will that version work with AT&T LTE Bands? AT&T LTE bands are 2,4,5,12,29, and 30. I see that the RS988 model doesn't have bands 29 and 30. Will that affect AT&T LTE performance? Please let me know. I want to get the phone in the next day or two. Thank you in advance for your help!!!
You can always check the bands that the device supports, though, yes it does.
But is band 29 and 30 critical for LTE on AT&T?

No its not just don't change your imei from the phone you have right now
I wasn't going to change anything. I was just going to pop in my nano-sim from my Iphone and it should work automatically right? Or do I need to do anything else?

No LTE love for me...
I would love my RS988 to get LTE on ATT... I switched from Cricket which has LTE on it, to ATT GoPhone and I only get a max of HSPA+. I can scan for networks and click on ATT LTE but it just fails to register. ATT support said they cannot force it to work because their system shows my IMEI as an unknown manufacturer. ... what?
I already have the same APN settings as listed. I would LOVE some help with that!

Chinese version with no band 20, you'd have to flash the EU rom yourself.

General Very poor support for T-Mobile 5G

Does the Zenfone 9 officially "support" T-Mobile 5G? I believe the answer is NO, and that's why 5G is disabled by default. With 5G enabled on my phone, I frequently encounter a complete lack of mobile data, even though the phone is showing full signal. I believe there are certain carrier aggregation combos that the phone is using, that T-Mobile doesn't support (and/or vice versa).
Users on Reddit have noted that the following two 5G CA modes do not work on this phone:
* n41 NSA
* n41_n71 SA CA
https://www.reddit.com/r/zenfone/comments/y47z51
It seems like if you're going to try to use this phone on T-Mobile you NEED to disable 5G.
I have also seen people state that if you are rooted, you can edit QPST (carrier_policy.xml) to disable n41 entirely and it mostly "solves" the problem.
Seems like this is a pretty big problem with this phone that no one is really talking about.
I get T-mobile 5G, but only after dialing *#*#ENHANCED4G#*#* and toggling the 4G Calling option after each reboot and I don't need to reboot that often.
T-mobile US VoLTE 5G mobile data instability fix with root
I was having problems with mobile data through T-mobile in the US that I was have to disallow 5G or else the carrier connection would drop. Sometimes it would reach 4G+, but it would drop the mobile data connection all the time, especially when...
forum.xda-developers.com
Another update.... Lots of people tell me their calls to me go directly to voicemail, so I did some testing. Sitting at home, with very very good 5G coverage, about 25% of the time, when I placed test calls to myself (from another cell phone) the phone would not even ring, just go directly to voicemail. Same problem on wifi calling on my rock solid 1gbps/1gbps network.
If I disable 5G (use 4G only), the problem is solved.
This phone DOES NOT properly support T-Mobile 5G.
I have T-mobile and have been using Zenfone 9 (US version which is C version I believe).
Phone does support 5G for T-mobile, as you can see below. What Zenfone does not support is mmwave 5G which are on bands 258, 260 and 261 from Tmobile. That is also known as 5G UC (ultra capacity) which is usually 250-300-350Mbps network speed.
Just earlier today I measured my speed in Chicago where I had 5G+, and it came back at 192Mbps.... Now which is exactly this 5G+ band, I have no clue, but all above listed is my personal experience, and I live in Chicagoland...
Check your coverage area, and try to get Tmobile to provide you exact information on what the network band is used for the area where you live... That may be the resolution to your issues where you do not have 5G...
Btw: where I live there is just normal 5G but speeds from Tmobile are about 30Mbps for 5G and on the 4G I get about 20Mbps... I can tell you for a fact there is not much difference in what that 20Mbps does for you, while 5G is just tiny bit faster that is all...
My next phone will be Samsung S23+ or Ultra because Samsungs support ultra capacity 5G and are certainly faster on 5G UC than anything I have seen before on mobile phones.
