xiaomi mi mix germany network

Hello, I want to buy a xiaomi mi mix, since it would not support a band of 20, I would like to know with which operators you use the mobile phone. Thank you

May be, but none reported experience with xiaomi mi mix
Even possess a huawei p8 max and have quite different experiences with the German net made as described in network operators

I have Vodafone and get H+ almost everywhere in bavaria but LTE is only in City´s like Munich or Landsberg etc.

I am using O2. I get H+ everywhere. LTE is impossible in the area of Essen. That's were I live.

EE, and BT work perfectly, Vodafone and O2 not so good, that's in the UK, so it sound's pretty similar to German networks.

Anyone using the mix with o2/eplus?`they should use B3/7/20 for LTE. So just in General is lte working on it in Germany?

No LTE 20 is not working, other LTE channels may work.Depending on where you are you will have limited LTE access or nil.

Will K20 Pro work in NZ?

I'm a bit confused, they are going on about the 9t Pro coming out for Global market, but on Aliexpress there is a K20 Pro with 'Global Rom'.
If i was to buy one of these would it not work in New Zealand? I'm really keen on getting this phone but not sure what to buy.
According to this, it works perfectly with my provider 2Degrees

The K20 Pro does not have global network bands. Where it's sold with a global ROM, these are unofficial global ROMs, they do not and cannot add extra lte bands.
The Mi 9T, as well as coming with an official global ROM also had a few extra lte bands unlocked. The Mi 9T Pro will do the same, when it eventually arrives.
Looking at your carrier, it uses bands 3, 7 and 28 (maybe 40 too, but could have been a different NZ carrier). The K20 Pro is missing band 28.
Band 28 is a relatively low frequency band, these can travel further and penetrate obstacles better, before losing significant signal strength and quality. Quite often the low frequency bands are used in rural areas, where masts are spread widely, or major city centres that are very heavily built up.
NZ is a very sparsely populated country, so it's possible band 28 is heavily relied on outside of the town's and cities. But this is only my slightly educated guess. I would suggest doing some more homework on how much of the 2Degree network relies on band 28.
I imagine in and around towns and cities you'll have very little issues, but that's a small percent of the country.
Assuming the Mi 9T Pro will have the same bands as the Mi 9T, then it will come with band 28

It says that 2degrees doesn't use B28, only other carriers in NZ. So that would mean its safe to assume it would work?
Thanks

I checked on Wikipedia, however I was looking at the bands for Spark by mistake. 2Degrees uses 3, 8 and 28.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks?wprov=sfla1
Band 8 is on the K20 Pro and is also a low frequency band. So it could well be that it will work OK. However it is showing that band 8 was added to the 2Degrees network only last year, so might still be wise to see if you can find out how widespread band 8 is used on their network.
Edit:
A bit more reading. The 2Degree website FAQs confirms it uses the above 3 bands. Band 8 was previously used for their 2G network, but was freed up when they turned off 2G, which allowed them to use it for LTE. Maybe that will mean it's use is widespread.

I'm not sure about nz but it works perfectly fine here in Australia. The only band we use in Aus that it's missing is B20 which is very common. But fortunately if you're with Telstra in Aus they don't have any areas that only run on B20 so there's always something for me to connect to. I also live in a rural area.
So my advice is to check different areas all over nz to see what they support. I used a site called cellmapper to do this https://www.cellmapper.net

Not sure about NZ, but in Australia it works. I'm with ALDI mobile which I guess is Telstra.

I've gone ahead and purchased it as of an hour ago excited to get my hands on it, this makes me even more confident as your bands are the same pretty much. Can't wait!

Australia use band 28, not 20.

Global version and chinese version are using same 4G bands so there won't be any problems.

Unlock LTE Bands on K20 Pro China version

Hello friends, it's been a while since someone posed the question below. I just bought a K20 Pro (China Version) from Aliexpress and only found out about the limitations of LTE bands. I was wondering if there is now a workaround to add LTE bands with a newer version QPST or another workaround/hack? If that, could we expect something in the future or am I pretty much toast?

You are toast. Time to buy a phone that's got all the bands you need. I'm in the same spot I need to give up on these POS international phone with almost 0 LTE bands for the USA.

I hope at some point there will be a hack, like there has been in the past. where are the geniuses on this forum ?

It's not about geniusness, it's utterly time wasting and requires a hell lot of effort which in the end doesn't guarantee it will unlock the bands, so next time get a phone with your required bands.

Didn't find any mention of adding LTE bands in the LOS thread. Can you point me in the right direction with a post number or page number?

I'm referring to the comments around the end of the first page on this thread (also continues to page 2)

I also found this, which seems pretty much what we need

**** these international phones I'm tired of them not having the bands we use in the USA activated. My mix 3 had every single LTE band and this K20 pro has 1 ****ty band. Why can't every phone have every band that people use in the world, is it really that hard?

If you look at the OnePlus 7 Pro bands you can see that it's easy, but brands don't want to do that for profits of selling a new phone when someone moves to a different country and so on, however I am not too sure why xiaomi doesn't have all bands enabled on the global version of the phone like OnePlus, I would understand locking the CN and Indian version, but the global should have all bands enabled

Engineer code qualcomm 855
Unfortunately, even if I've bought a MI9 T pro , described with correct bands & charger (need 4G B20 & B28) ; they send me a Redmi K20 pro with chinese plug... I opened a dispute but it drags on and I'm afraid of not having a commercial solution. So If someone did find a technical one ; I'd be very glad !
I saw some old techniques on Youtube, none of them works ; nor engineering codes (#*#*...) Is there a way to know them ? Thank you !

Good luck, but it's almost improbable, Even Pocophone failed.

This from the Network Signal Guru FAQs
Can you changed the band capacities of my cell phone. My cell phones are from other countries and the band capabilities are not so good, and I want more band support. Could NSG do that?
NSG cannot provide this kind of feature and we don't change the band capabilities. It's different among different phones, so it's dangerous and once failed, you will lose all of the band capabilities of certain radio technology. And it's very difficult to recover.
So, no it's not possible to unlock the bands.

Okay thank you

It's likely the bands are "hardware locked".
So depending on the region of the device various bands will be enabled or disabled. Every region of the device might well have the same modem - and that modem might support all the bands you want - but they won't work and there'll be no way of getting them to work as it'll be on a hardware-level.
It's why when you flash a Global ROM to a Chinese handset bands don't appear and vice versa. Both region ROMs will have their respective modern firmware but that doesn't change what bands you get - which would imply its literally hard-coded into the modem itself.
What I've read on the pocophone implies the band programming is locked, read-only, unmodifiable.

every site i check says mi phone can use lte in my country but i cant connect to it on my phone .... what do i do??

Question Carrier Aggregation not working

Hi guys, I have the cn version of Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and I enabled 5g preferred in the settings, my friend with an iPhone gets better speeds than me, and we both use a sim from the same company, do you happen to know why he gets Carrier aggregation and I don't? I am also using Xiaomi EU stable custom rom, and it is very annoying that my phone is working slower, much help will be appreciated thank you very much!

The China model has these 5G bands:
5G ：n1 / n3 / n28 / n41 / n77 / n78 / n79
Compare these bands with iPhone bands, maybe iPhone has more.

Band support is not everything, good compare Carrier Aggregation and Dual Connectivity combinations and check device support all used by your network.
You can check these via https://cacombos.com website.

General G9980 suddenly showing 5G on TMOB in NYC!

Today, all of a sudden, I see 5G showing up on my HK model G9980. I just did the big update Doesn't feel faster than LTE. Does anyone else know about this?
Has TMOB got additional 5G banks that work in the US ? Did they just switch them on? It means this is now a US and much of ROW 5G phone.

It's Low Band 5G on Tmobile, as you stated not much different than 4G LTE. Tmobile doesn't offer super fast mmWave 5G, only Verizon and AT&T but at this point their coverage is very limited. Since there's not much difference between Low Band 5G and 4G LTE it might be better to stick with 4G LTE as 5G consumes more power. You can check compatibility with your IMEI Number here.

Yes, but the point is the 9880 doesn't have band 260 and 261, and up until today I never had 5G in the US on this device.

It's likely 5G Band N41 anchored to 4G LTE on Band 2. Both of these are functional on the SM-G9980 and utilized by Tmobile.

Can you explain what you mean? I would like to understand better.
I notice there's a developer option called 5G Network Mode (SA + NSA etc). What is that all about?
Wonder why it showed up after the latest update...

NSA anchors the control signaling of 5G Radio Networks to the 4G Core, while the SA scheme connects the 5G Radio directly to the 5G core network, the control signaling does not depend on the 4G network.

It says 5G most of the time now but speeds are essentially the same as 4g in the US. So it isn't real 5G?

OP just got his juices flowing.

?

I've noticed significantly better speeds in Chicago.
