LTE Carrier Aggregation / Bands Info - Honor 10 Lite Questions & Answers

Similar to LTE in the UK I would seek info about the LTE Cat12 Modem in the Honor 10 Lite: which LTE Bands are supported and is there support for Carrier Aggregation?
The Bands of interest for me (possibly all supported in this order): B3 (1800+), B20, B7 (2600), B1 (2100), B32
According to gadgetsnow.com there is support only for: 4G Bands TD-LTE 2300 (band 40), FD-LTE 1800 (band 3)

Just got the Honor 10 Lite yesterday I'm using a "Three" sim.
Here's the Connectivity specs :
Frequency band: 4G LTE FDD: B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20 3G UMTS: B1/2/5/8 2G GSM: B2/3/5/8; Network rate: 4G LTE FDD: 150 Mbit/s(DL), 50 Mbit/s(UL) 3G WCDMA (HSDPA/ HSUPA): 42 Mbit/s(DL), 5.76Mbit/s(UL) 2G GPRS/EDGE:
296Kbit/s(DL), 236.8Kbit/s(UL); Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4GHz; Support Wi-Fi Hotspot; USB 2.0; Bluetooth 4.2+BLE

Ok, so just B32 is missing for my area. If you plan to root the phone I would be interested if Carrier Aggregation support could be tested. Not sure if in your area CA2 or CA3 (combining of 2 or 3 bands) is available? This would double or triple the speed.

Not sure If I'm going to root this phone. Got a few apps that don't play well with routed devices,
As for CA support. "Three" in the UK just started testing it in a few regions in the UK (as of 1st Nov 2018) I'm not in one of those regions (Closest CA test area for me is Glasgow) so can't test it at the moment.

Honor 10lite carrier aggregation support?
is there any way to Enable carrier aggregation on Honor 10lite with kirin710 cheap?
As where Honor Company didnt care about Customers.
And this is qustion for me why this Function is disabled in this device altogh we see so many huawei device with same cheap but those device support 4.5g and ca

Could anyone share a screenshot of honor 10lite while the sign of 4.5g or 4g+ is captured on screen. Tanks in advance.
I doubt this device support 4.5g network connection cus we cannot see carrier aggregation box in mobile network settings

Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F:
LTE: 800, 850, 900, 1800, 2100, 2600
I guess it depends on which country you're in to determine what band applies. Those are the associated frequencies though.

The international Samsung phones have yet to support america's LTE bands. I was really hoping that the Octa version would finally have worldwide LTE, but it turns out neither of the international S5 versions support LTE 4 or 17 (used on AT&T/TMo)
More than likely AT&T's way of forcing people to buy their version instead. This way people can't root, flash roms, or tether w/o a plan.
US variants and the I model ( Aussie model ) are the only ones that are LTE supported and are now pretty much all bootloader locked. Also all international models all come factory/carrier/bootloader unlocked too. Ive just moved here not long ago and dont really care for LTE so got my last 2 phones outside the country. I didnt realize about the bootloader lock until I got my S5 from ATT so Im hoping someone comes up with a method to unlock it.

Octa Version (G900H) doesn't have 4G LTE, only 3G. I have one of that here in Brazil.
canadian version
Looks like the Canadian version SM-G900W8 supports 8 LTE bands - which is all exept for the 800mhz (very common in Europe).
just google SM-G900WZKABMC-techspecs (cant post links)
Does your phone have to support every band a carrier uses for lte for you to be able to use lte on that network?
My s5 supports 5 of the 7 lte bands that att uses. Will I not be able to use lte at all with my phone?

AT&T operates LTE in band 2 (1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 17(700).
The T-Mobile bootloader is NOT locked and supports all the bands of AT&T and more. Plus, 900F roms work well on it if you keep the TMO modem.
So is it just a matter of changing the modems to get lte working on AT&T and T-Mobile with the 900F?
I just put a straight talk SIM (AT&T network) in my phone and I am reporting lte on my phone and getting download speeds of 15mbps +.

No. I don't think that the 900F has all the AT&T and TMO bands so it would be hit and miss at best.
And you want the modem designed for the device because it will utilize whatever bands that device is capable of using.
If you are close to a cell tower, 4g can do 15. I'm close to a cell tower here at work and my LTE can get 58 down.

Does that mean you can just stick an AT&T sim card into a T-Mobile S5 and have all the same capabilities as the AT&T S5, and more (like an unlocked bootloader)?

Almost. When you receive the G900T it will be locked to the T-Mobile network (unless you specifically buy one that is unlocked) so you do have to get it SIM Unlocked first. This allows you to use it on any GSM network. I paid 20 bucks online because no one has figured out how to unlock it for free yet.
After that I installed Omega rom but kept the latest TMO modem. It works perfectly. I got 58 down on LTE at work the other day.
Any idea how to get it to connect to the 4G/LTE network with SM-G900F

Which Note 4 Exynos version works with USA T-Mobile LTE?

Folks,
I have looked for this answer everywhere and do not seem to find an answer for it: Which version of the Note 4 Exynos works with T-Mobile LTE?
From a post I read, seems that the SM-N910C sold in Qatar works, but I am not sure.
Any help is greatly appreciated !
Cheers,
G
Interesting...unless the Qatar version supports 1700MHz band....I'm don't think you'll fully be able to utilize the TM network.
This makes me curious now...
This is what I found, from XDA:
SM-N910T(Qualcomm Snapdragon 805)------[USA T-Mobile]------{FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM}
SM-N910T1(Qualcomm Snapdragon 805)------[USA T-Mobile]------{FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM}
Now, for models with Exynos:
SM-N910C(Samsung Exynos 5433)------[Asia,Europe,South America]------{FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM}
SM-N910H(Samsung Exynos 5433)------[Asia-Pacific]------{WCDMA+GSM}
SM-N910K(Samsung Exynos 5433)------[Korea KT+]------{FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM}
SM-N910L(Samsung Exynos 5433)------[Korea LG+]------{FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM}
SM-N910S(Samsung Exynos 5433)------[Korea SKT]------{FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM}
SM-N910U(Samsung Exynos 5433)------[HongKong,Taiwan,Australia,New Zealand,Chile]------{TDD-LTE+FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM}
I have read somewhere here in XDA that the SM-N910H will not work in T-Mobile. Then is only:
SM-N910C(Samsung Exynos 5433)------[Asia,Europe,South America]------{FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM}
SM-N910K(Samsung Exynos 5433)------[Korea KT+]------{FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM}
SM-N910L(Samsung Exynos 5433)------[Korea LG+]------{FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM}

SM-N910U(Samsung Exynos 5433)------[HongKong,Taiwan,Australia,New Zealand,Chile]------{TDD-LTE+FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM}
And found this on the N910C:

The authority on operating bands in the US is the FCC.

https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...ame=N&application_id=396270&fcc_id=A3LSMN910U
Short answer, The N910C and N910U has Band 4 LTE. Neither has band 12 (700MHz Block A)
Also, when on call or in a low-signal area, hold the phone with your left hand. The diversity receiver (2nd antenna) is right beneath the power button.

Yup, thanks a lot ! I was getting to that conclusion... T-Mobile uses Band 4 (AWS 1700/2100 MHz), which you are right only the N910C and N910U have. And also true, as with other international phones like the Sony Z3 and others, the biggest regret will be Band 12. However, for what I have read, the regret there of not having Band 12 is WiFi calling and some better reception indoor like in buildings and such.
Cheers,
G.
LTE Band 12 has nothing to do with WiFi calling. WiFi calling, in terms of hardware, simply requires WiFi, which all N910 models have (2.4 and 5.xGHz). The rest is carrier support (which T-Mobile has) and software on the phone (which if it isn't on by default can be added via root).
LTE Band 12 doesn't matter much outside of California, Florida, Texas, New England, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Atlanta, Minneapolis and Indianapolis. Leap (Cricket) Wireless owns most of the 700MHz Block A spectrum in America. Check out this map and see where you live vs what your carrier holds.

Thank you very much.
I looked at that map but did not quite understood the results. So, can you please educate me on what really I might miss should I go missing the Band 12 for someone living on those areas you have mentioned above?
I am tired of waiting on the T-Mobile Note 4 availability and the N910U seems to be available on eBay, plus it has the Exynos.
Cheers,
What's so special about the Exynos processor over the 805? The 805 in my Note4 is a beast.

The Exynos is faster. Got it.

How do you add wi-fi calling via root? My understanding is that no one has managed to extract wi-fi related software pieces from T-Mobile ROMs and successfully port anywhere. That's why I'm always stuck with TW ROMs.
Just get the sm-n910t. Why do you want Exynos version? Many app wont take advantage of that cpu.
Yup, I did. Was trying to find alternatives since the Tmobile version seems so scarce and difficult to get...but, finally got one. Cheerrs. G.
N910C VoLTE and international dialer questions.
For anyone that has the N910C running on T-Mobile, is VoLTE actived for you? When you make a call, does it stay on LTE or does it drop to 4G (HSPA) and then go back to LTE after you hang up.
Also, does the dialer include the video chat icon on the bottom left and is there a way to remove it since (I'm guessing) it doesn't work.
I have a n910c and I'm on tmobile when I call it drops down to 4g then goes back to lte.

Does HSPA (aws) 3G/4G (H+) work on your 910c on tmobile?
Also are you able to make calls & use data at the same time?
Edit: nevermind just read above post. Please disregard
Can anyone confirm for sure if they're able to surf the web or do any data related activity while on a call with their sm-n910c? I have ZERO data connectivity while on a call and as soon as the call hangs up, I instantly have my data back. Any help or confirmation is appreciated.

The problem with lg g flex 959 T-Mobile

Hello, tell someone how to make that lg g flex d959 worked in Russian 3g and 4g networks can install the firmware from the other versions of this smartphone? I want more fm radio and television to display if the technology is supported by Russia.
It all depends on which bands are Russia telecomms providers.

In the sense you mean it with another rosskiyskim operator can work ? I checked all operators.
Like for example LG G Flex tmo bands are
HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - D959 (3G+)
LTE: /1900/2100/TD2600 MHz (Band 25, 26, 41)
These are the bands available in Tmos Modem
If these are compatible with your carreer you should check.

TL; DR My guess is that you have a European or Asian model, instead of a North American model.
EDIT: I see your app is showing your device as an A3000 which is the NA model... Did you buy it new? Any chance North American firmware has been flashed on a non NA device?

What ATT bands are missing?

According to Z3 Play page it has bands
LTE:††† B1 (2100) B2 (1900) B3 (1800) B4 (1700/2100) B5 (850) B7 (2600) B8 (900) B12 (lower700 abc) B13 (upper700) B14 (700 PS) B17 (lower700 bc) B18 (Japan low850) B19 (Japan hi850) B20 (800 DD) B25 (1900+) B26 (850+) B28 (700 APT) B29 (lower700 de) B30 (2300) B38 (TD2600) B40 (TD2300) B41 (TD2500) B41 HPUE (TD2500) B66 (AWS3+4) B71 (600 US)
UMTS:††† B1 (2100) B2 (1900) B4 (1700/2100) B5 (850) B8 (900)
CDMA:††† BC0 (850) BC1 (1900) BC10 (850+)
GSM:††† B2 (1900) B3 (1800) B5 (850) B8 (900)
It appears that this is all the necessary bands. According to ATT you need:
**MAIN BAND
12 –700 MHz Lower B/C/A. This is a superset of band 17, so band 17 is not required if band 12 is available in the phone.
**ADDITIONAL CAPACITY
2 – 1900 MHz PCS, provides bandwidth in many markets; 25 is a superset of band 2 but 25 is not required for some reason
4 – 1700/2100 MHz AWS, provides bandwidth in many markets
5 – 850 MHz CLR, the main band for areas lacking 700 lower B and/or C blocks
29 – 700 MHz Lower D/E – supplemental downlink bandwidth only; implemented in key markets
30 – 2300 MHz WCS, provides additional bandwidth in many markets
So it appears it has all of these,
HOWEVER, according to Motorola's carrier compatibility page it does not have a solid check mark next to ATT. Stating "Device is compatible with service provider’s network but some service provider specific features may not be available. Please contact your service provider for details".
SO MY QUESTION IS -
What is it missing???

Perhaps wireless calling. The phone might be compatible to handle wireless calls, but I know AT&T is infamous for turning features off unless you buy the phones from them.

According to Z3 Play page it has bands
LTE:††† B1 (2100) B2 (1900) B3 (1800) B4 (1700/2100) B5 (850) B7 (2600) B8 (900) B12 (lower700 abc) B13 (upper700) B14 (700 PS) B17 (lower700 bc) B18 (Japan low850) B19 (Japan hi850) B20 (800 DD) B25 (1900+) B26 (850+) B28 (700 APT) B29 (lower700 de) B30 (2300) B38 (TD2600) B40 (TD2300) B41 (TD2500) B41 HPUE (TD2500) B66 (AWS3+4) B71 (600 US)
UMTS:††† B1 (2100) B2 (1900) B4 (1700/2100) B5 (850) B8 (900)
CDMA:††† BC0 (850) BC1 (1900) BC10 (850+)
GSM:††† B2 (1900) B3 (1800) B5 (850) B8 (900)
It appears that this is all the necessary bands. According to ATT you need:
**MAIN BAND
12 –700 MHz Lower B/C/A. This is a superset of band 17, so band 17 is not required if band 12 is available in the phone.
**ADDITIONAL CAPACITY
2 – 1900 MHz PCS, provides bandwidth in many markets; 25 is a superset of band 2 but 25 is not required for some reason
4 – 1700/2100 MHz AWS, provides bandwidth in many markets
5 – 850 MHz CLR, the main band for areas lacking 700 lower B and/or C blocks
29 – 700 MHz Lower D/E – supplemental downlink bandwidth only; implemented in key markets
30 – 2300 MHz WCS, provides additional bandwidth in many markets
So it appears it has all of these,
HOWEVER, according to Motorola's carrier compatibility page it does not have a solid check mark next to ATT. Stating "Device is compatible with service provider’s network but some service provider specific features may not be available. Please contact your service provider for details".

Most likely two things, Wifi Calling and VOLTE. AT&T blocks these features on all unlocked phones that I've had so far.

I'm not sure about available bands, but I've been getting blazing fast download speeds in off peak hours (83MBps), and reasonable speeds at other times. Just got my z3 Play today, and love it so far.

Update! Volte or HD Voice does in fact work on At&t. You have to either call At&t or go online if you have a business account and change the IMEI to an At&t phone. I can confirm that Volte works once you change the IMEI.
Update: Volte wors on Cricket Wireless too!

Hi, I assume you have the phone. How long ago did you you set it up ? Meaning, did it at any point reversed VoLTE connectivity and defaulted back to HSPA only? I've seen some people making it work on other phones (after the IMEI trick) but as soon system recognizes - reads the right IMEI, the function is gone.
Thanks

So I first just swapped the Sim from my Note 8 and Volte was working. After a few calls it went back to HSPA during calls. A few days later I manually entered the IMEI in Premier and it stuck. That was over a week ago, and a million calls later. I'm still on Volte when making calls. Some calls even have a little HD symbol next to the call time to let me know I'm experiencing an HD Voice call.
That's interesting to hear. The problem is that I don't have that option to manually change IMEI, because my account is not Premier or Business. When you say Premier, can you clarify if that's just another name for business or something else? I have all things ATT - TV, internet and wireless, so I'm wondering if I can get some special treatment too.
Also, I don't have the phone neither, so not sure if it would work on OG ZPlay or Z2 Play. Definitely would. love to try it. when I tried with the Customer Rep changing IMEI for me I didn't work on any of the phones I mentioned.

Yes Premier is their business account portal. You should be able to use the IMEI from another at&t phone and call customer care as well. As long as they choose the right plan, Volte should work. Not sure about the OG ZPlay, I feel like I tried it before and it didn't work with that phone. Never had the Z2 Play so I can't speak to that phone. Tried to upload a picture of it but my phone won't cooperate right now.
Thanks a lot for the input!
Just tried with Z2 play and submitted the IMEI over the phone (for Z2 force ATT edition) and it didn't work not even for a second. I guess I gotta wait out a bit for the price to drop and have Motorola release more colors for Z3 play
