[Q] Lenovo K3 Note and 4G in the UK - London

Hi All

What i am trying to understand is why i don't have a 4G even though the Sim is 4G and it works as 4G in a Galaxy S4 , is this a Rom limitation ?
Thank you

I have the same issue. Have you found a solution?

Not a ROM limitation. Have a look what frequencies your mobile operator uses for LTE. The K3 note can only use these.
Networks:
2G: GSM 900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz
4G: FDD-LTE 1800/2100/2600MHz

So if you're on o2 you're screwed?

Afraid so. I`m with giffgaff which runs on the O2 network but I don`t use 4g as it`s patchy at best where I am. It`s a great phone for the money.

TA1005 band 12?

Does TA1005 model have band 12? Some sites say yes, some no? Thanks

I might have an answer to this. I recently bought a TA-1005 SS HK 11A1NB21A05 variant. On the box label it lists these LTE Bands 1/2/3/4/5/8/12/13/17/20/28/38/40/41.
This is odd because for some reason Nokia Support when I last checked stated that there were no variants of the Nokia 8 Sirocco available that supported US LTE bands. On the box label it clearly shows otherwise. Other sites and LTE band checking sites are conflicting too.
Do you know if there is a way to check band locking or available bands from a diag menu? I know of the Info menu available from the dialer, but maybe there are other hidden menus to confirm this with.

To follow up on this I see wifi calling and VoLTE provisioning are good. I still don't know officially if band 12 exists but the phone works fine on T-mobile.

Cell Broadcast (NL-Alert)

Hello,
I'm the owner of a Huawei P20 Pro in the Netherlands on the T-Mobile network.
In the Netherlands we use a Cell Broadcasting system called NL-Alert.
Now my problem is, the broadcast the signal on channel 919 and in my Huawei settings it is set to 4371.
I have really no idea how to change this.
Thanks in advance!
Greetings from Amsterdam!

What is your software region? Did you de-brand your phone?
I work in the Cell Broadcast industry and in many countries the broadcast channel is pre-set by regulation trough Cellular Operators. You might need to check this with T-Mobile.

I am from the netherlands also and using tmobile/tele2 and on my p20 pro it did work but last msg i got was on dec 3rd.

Received 2 nl alerts yesterday, on tmobile no issues

I think 3rd of December was the last test day for NL-Alert. They do it now twice a year. Would you please be so kind to look, on which channel you are (4371 or 919).
Thanks!

P30 Pro not supporting VoLTE on all providers

Congstar in Germany (provider in Telekom-Network) now has VoLTE and WifiCall. Unfortunaltely, it works with almost all smartphones, BUT NOT with Huawei-Phones. My P30 Pro can't do VoLTE and WifiCall in Congstar-Network. If I put the SIM-card in other phones, it works.
There are customers from other providers that have the same problem with Huawei.
Why is that?

Yeah i searched to for some days now, and can not find any Option to activate VoLte here in Luxembourg with Tango Provider. I Phoned the Tech support and after 3 Persons i got someone that say to me that for now they only support Iphone and some Samsung Phones...
i will try to find someone with an other Provider and try with oder Sim Cards.
I think this is a very bad design choice from Huawei, to not even show the button, instead of a gray button and say it is not compatible with my Provider.
Model: VOG-L29
Build number: 10.0.0.186(C431E19R2P5)
Android 10
Security Patch 1 January 2020

But they don't do it.

I don't had any VoLTE option in the s20 and note 20 and I asked on the telegram groups about this and yeah if you have a call and LTE at the same time that means VoLTE it's working fine, by the way how I can get in to that menu?

Hi
My Three provider in UK are supporting WifiCall and working perfect on my p30 pro, my wife's p30 working perfectly either.
Regards

Working both for O2 in Germany. AFAIK those are options provisioned by your provider. If they didn't "approve" p30, it won't be enabled. Some providers have an annoying bias towards iPhone and major Samsung flagships. Had EE before for which WiFi calling was enabled but volte not.

SAMSUNG SM-G977N

Hello everyone, I seriously need help in flashing a different rom into my Korean 5G variant as 5G doesn't work, samsung pay doesn't work and it's bloated with Korean stuff and I am located in UAE, is there any solution to that? Please help me as if there is no solution I will need to sell it.

It's not about the rom itself, it's still gonna be the case even if you change it I'm afraid. The korean variant has different 5g hardware so i don't think it's going to work in places other than korea.

I'm not sure that the Korean version doesn't work in Europe! I have the s10 5g Korean version and unfortunately the 5g network doesn't work here at home in my country either and I still can't find a way to get it to work! But when I go to my neighbouring country Germany, the 5g network works normally there! I have VN Custom Rom there, so apparently the Korean version can be rolled out when it works in Germany, but I don't know the reason why it doesn't work in my country right now! Maybe it's some bad settings in the CSC, I don't know! Anyway, Germany told me in the return that the problem is in the hardware! Unless they use a system like Korea .But I can't advise how to start it, because I've been trying to start it myself for 3 months now, but still without success!!! Screenshot from Germany with 5g network !

Yeah i thought that too. Do you know a way to change the CSC on Android 12 by any chance? I can't get LTE+ in my country.

SamFW FRP tool, you can change CSC with it but it probably won't help you to 5g! I tried it and it didn't help me, and now I also tried a downgrade to A11 and also no result working 5g ! Still max 4g+
