Hi all,
X822
6GB - 64GB
5.9.021S
LTE works perfectly. Both SIM slots. Multiple networks (in multiple countries).
The problem I have is 4G+ never registers, the device never picks up the SCC. I've used diagnostic apps to ensure its not just a UI glitch in areas with definite LTEA CAT6 coverage.
Is it working for anyone, if so can you shed details of in what environment?
Cheers,
Scratching.
For me is not working Carrier Aggregation , I have Orange and they have CA between B03 and B07 .
I never see it working with this phone and I was trying all the baseband s that I can find....
I've tried to examine the UEs reports to the eNode. The problem is formatting in the app I'm using is dire and I cant copy/paste.
The Supported Band List confirms bands:
3
20
1
2
4
5
7
8
12
17
25
26
38
39
40
41
The Band Combination Parameters lists is unreadable on a narrow display so I'm going to try an alternative.
4G+ works good in Norway

Thanks Kaonlover. Thats a great idea for me to check as its possible to see if the phone reports differently to the cell from the two slots.
To update, QPST half working at the minute. Working on it.
Please keep us informed of your progress .
For me is not working at all CA , here Orange have CA on B03 +B07 .
I can see the LTE RRC handshakes in NSG but cant find same in QXDM. Some fields are populating but others aren't.
Really as its designed for telco/OEM engineers I could do with a hand from a pro. Any offers?

Pretty sure these 1610 events are what we want, but the data itself still eludes me.
No 4G signal what so ever
im not getting whatsoever 4G signal i tried all the roms i tried also to unlock all the bands but when i force the mobile to run on 4G im getting no signal ..nothing just out the service and im sure is not the sim cart because it was on my another phone with 4G LTE with no problems.
Did you managed to solve your issue? Any programs you can suggest to check LTE status?

Never did.
@Scratchling I have been looking into this issue quite a bit on my x829. It can do LTE+ with B1+B3 but not B3+B7 even though it supports them all. I think it is up to carrier aggregation settings. However I even tried to set the settings with QPST and it still did not work. I am out of ideas for now. I got a X720 Pro3 and in some cases it selects different uplink and downlink bands and chooses wisely and makes a huge difference in network speed. I guess it would have been easier if I had an X820 model, then I could try to copy all the settings. Anyway, not worth the trouble considering how cheap these phones are and even without LTE+ it works rather OK most times.

Yup. I'm looking for B3+B20 here.
My suspicion is either:
A. LeEco were too lazy to configure the baseband with all possible band combination confs
B. Qualcomm licence on a part by part basis and they cheaped out on it
In any case the phone is now ~14mo old, and has its issues. Probably not worth bothering with as I'm sure I'll buy a Mi Mix 2 or similar soon.
My X829 works on LTE+ in Chicago USA but only with FIXNAOP5801607292S rom.Any other roms i only get LTE and 4G indicators.
What i did was that as soon I installed TWRP ,still with FIXNAOP5801607292S rom,i made a backup of everything.Now when i install any rom i restore ONLY firmware and EFS from my FIXNAOP5801607292S rom backup and i get LTE+ with any rom.
If i flash ANY of the Modems zip floating around i get only LTE or 4G but NO +
My download speed with LTE+ is 60-80 mbps
with LTE i get 30-45 mbps
AT&T Band 4

UPDATE: PLEASE SEE CHN110's SIGNATURE FOR AN AMSS MODIFIED Tmobile MODEM (thanks to hotwir3 and delacrow) WITH UNRESTRICTED RAT ACCESS!
The following method is still the one that works with UCLF6. BUT I WILL MODIFY THOSE AMSS BIN FILES AS HOTWIR3 HAS AND SEE IF THE WORKAROUND CAN BE ELIMINATED!
UPDATE 2: USING THE AMSS FILES FROM THE N7005 ROM WITH UCLF6 MODEM DID NOT WORK...STILL HAVE TO ACCESS
RAT USING THE WORKAROUND.
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed we are not locked out of RAT selection on this base?
I'm on edge now...cool. slow but cool. Have to use a previously known work around but it does work. :good: I would like to see if it works for someone else before I post the method I used, PM me if you have want to know how to set it.

Here is the workaround...as I said it is a previously known process, I just decided to give it a try and it works:
First I suggest you must be on one of the new DXLJ2 based ROMs (never tried any other base, its possible 4.1 kanged and aosp Roms may work also)...heres the dialer method I used, with phone powered on take your SIM card out (pry it up a little to get past the battery), reboot the phone then after startup is complete make sure wifi and airplane mode are turned off, dial:
*#197328640# or (short cut) *#2263#...then follow the menu options: (DEBUG SCREEN/ PHONE CONTROL/ NETWORK CONTROL/ BAND SELECTION/ now here you have several options but to get "edge" choose GSM BAND PREFERENCE/ GSM850) THIS IS IMPORTANT> then press on the phone menu key and press "BACK" make sure you see the asterik in parenthesis next to the option you have chosen...then use the phone menu key to select "end". reinsert SIM then restart phone ( dont pull the battery to insert sim).You will also have to check your APN settings and select "bearer unspecified" at the bottom of APN SETUP. Thats it...its an old workaround from when I used my Captivate and SII primarily. Cant remember where I got it (on here somewhere I'm sure) but I had the method saved as text in a notepad file and came across it yesterday.
Good luck and enjoy.
you have the e circled as gprs..
from what i have seen before.. if you are in a gprs are, you would get a 'g' icon,
My bad...that might be a mislabel by me, its just a label but to your point I guess it should read egprs..but it is edge (2.5g) and not 3g or 4g.
This from a google search:
General packet radio service (GPRS) is a packet oriented mobile data .... Such mobiles are considered pseudo-Class A, sometimes referred to as ... EGPRS ( EDGE), 236.8, 59.2 (Class 8, 10 and MCS-9), 4+1 ...
and some further searching...

Thanks chn110 for directing me to the modified UVLG3 modem in his sig that allows RATaccess using dialer method without having to pull sim or reboot. All bands are able to be changed...awesome
As for the UCLF6 modem, the workaround in the first post is still applicable.

think this modified modem will allow me to change the band preference (disable LTE) in a cm/aosp build?
I dont see why not, I think it would...not sure but it wouldn't hurt to try. Just have another modem on your sd to flash if it didn't.

I'm On Novena rom and I think I have the modem/radio you're talking about from hotwir3 I'm on T-Mobile also... but getting spotty reception and speeds.
I'm still new to the Note do please excuse my ignorance... but what does this mod do?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Actually this isn't a mod it is a 'workaround' to achieve RAT access on UCLF6. The UVLG3 modem (was modded to carry the amss files from the N7005 base) and does not have restricted access so you wouldn't need to use this method. Although switching bands thru the settings menu is not yet fully functional, you can use the dialer (ussd) code to choose any band...and it basically allows you to switch off LTE and use 3g only. Helps save data when say your near your monthly limit or whenever. As far as the modem from Tmobile goes, basically it probably only is a benefit for ATT users (being unresticted to change RAT selection). It has the 1900 band added so they (Tmobile) could sell the iphone. The speeds when I tested it were unfortunately typical and not impressive.The reason Tmobile bought out Metropcs was to accrue access to their LTE network, so after that becomes final then Tmobile users will finally get the most out of their Notes...be patient it's coming.

Just a quick FYI, I did this selecting only the GSM Band 850 and thought I had hosed my sim/phone. Nothing worked after I did this. I did however go back and select the 850/1900 band and that fixed it. Seems some AT&T area may use both bands.

Were you on UVLG3 when that happened? When you say hosed you mean no cell signal at all? I believe UVLG3 only has 1900 band available for the ATT user. The workaround is for UCLF6 and when something similar happened to me I found that when I changed the last line (bearer) in the APN settings to unspecified that it will work. This is mentioned at the end of the first post. Please let me know as it would be interesting to see which modem you were on when it happened.
Sent from my GT-N7005 using xda premium
I'm on UCLF6, but I'm not on ATT so my Bearer is always set to unspecified
Yeah phone just showed the circle w/ a line through it for the cell signal. So it saw the sim card, but the radio wouldn't attach to just the 850 frequency. If I remember correctly, I believe that AT&T uses two frequencies. One for uplink, the other for downlink, which is why it started working after I picked the 850/1900 line.
They use the lower frequency in rural areas and the higher in urban. Lower frequencies travel farther.
Hi folks,
There's lots of ads starting to appear on various 'china phone' websites for phones based on the new mtk6589 quadcore cpu. I took the plunge and ordered a ThL W8 which is on its way. I'll post performance and spec when it arrives if anyone is interested - post and let me know.
Does anyone else have one or similar phone based on mtk6589?
A thread for phones based on mediatek CPU's would be useful, I recon there are a lot about in Europe - those of us who don't want to be locked into expensive 'airtime' contracts and like to be in control of our phone!

When you get it could you post a picture of contents of the engineer mode bandmode page? Getting conflicting reports on the actual bands supported by the MTK6589 chipset this uses.
To get into engineer mode dial *#*#3646633#*#* (Hopefully this is the same as the MT657x series code!) Bandmode should be second from the bottom, there are a lot of options so you have to scroll.

i wish there was some way to enable wcdma 1900. 850 is good enough for att USA but i want MORE! :good:
3G data is not connecting... So far I am stumped on how to enable it.
Operator SIM card automatically sets up the APN, but it still does not work.
Setting another APN by hand with the operator settings does not help either.
The 'H' symbol, or '3G', or whatever does not show up on the radio icon.
Is there some hidden setting or debug which I can enable?
Any advice on how can I start debugging the connectivity issue on the phone?
Thanks
I also ordered the ThL W8 from www.thlmobilestore.com on March 2nd because it is listed as in stock since then. I was a bit curious after a few days of not having received a shipment confirmation and logged in to the webstore to check my order status. It was found that the shop has no order on record for me.
I sent them a mail to explain what was going on and received a mail that they would ship the phone in one to twoo weeks. For listed as in stock phones? Yes right. Sounds like a scam to me.
I have asked to cancel my order and to refund my money because I do not want to wait another two week for a sipping confirmation. unfortunatel, they did not refund and did not even bother to reply to my request. Therefore, I have opened a dispute for the transaction using paypal buyer protection. I know there is still a high risk of losing my money, because scammers usually accuse the buyer of being a thief and then immediately close the dispute, yet I do not see another alternative at the moment to get my money back.
A warning to all of you, do not order anything from www.thlmobilestore.com. These people cannot be trusted.
There is another store selling these phones, it is called ThL Mobile Store, I should have ordered from them, by assuming I ordered from the factory store, I fell for www.themobilestore.com instead.
The Phone is great from the specs, I may lose my money now and do not get the phone, yet it is still a great phone. Just make sure you order it from a reliable source.

Hi,
I'm hoping you're wrong. My order appears to be progressing on Singapore Post tracking. Orders from the far east can often take a few weeks so patience is a virtue.
Not clear who you ordered from was it thlmobilestore.com or themobilestore.com - you name them both?
Maybe we need a 'sticky' topic on the forum to review or rate suppliers?

Hi Again,
My phone arrived today, thank you to thlmobilestore.com the ThL W8 is superb.
Very well packed, strong box, good quality charger, batteries, earphones and screen protectors. The phone is good quality, bright screen, Atutu is showing well over 12500 score, rear camera is 12Mpx. A massive improvement on my old Lt18i mtk6573!
One satisfied customer.
Now to try some rooting.

Well, I haven 't heard of countries having a WCDMA of 2000, so I am assuming it's the same band of 2100, which is how the phone is advertised and sold.
My operator supports 2100 and 850Mhz frequencies. If it didn't support the WCDMA bands it should still connect on EDGE (kinds of sucks, but better than nothing) right?

Mobile working fine for calls and data (gsm & 3G) both sim1 and sim2. GPS seems to work very well with CopilotGPS.
The only glitch I've found so far is no sync for people app (contacts) because the googlecontactssyncadaptor.apk is missing and no sync for gallery (doesn't sync with picassa. I guess until a stable reliable root method is established I'll have to live with it, but I have emailed thlmobilestore support to see what they come up with.
Will post feedback.

Yes, I also have the same problem.
Solution:
download GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk:
http://ge.tt/9M1zsuD/v/56
or here:
http://www.filecrop.com/google-conta...apter-apk.html)
Install it.
And it works
Yeah, that's my thread on PandaWill. I gathered the contacts .apk and root instructions from other sources. The root instructions were originally for a MTK6577 device I think, but they work fine on the THL W8. At least my device was rooted and ClockWorkModded fine with the instructions posted on that thread.

I received my phone about 10min ago and went straight in to APN settings. My phone automatically picked settings for ATT. I changed them to the Att straight talk settings and now have an H+ next to the bars and can surf the net.

Hi all,
Phone successfully rooted with information provided earlier in this thread, many thanks to those who posted. I did a factory reset (on advice from thlmobilestore) so started from a clean setup, rooted then fixed the contacts sync.
Now everything works pretty much like a dream - it performs as well as my Acer A110 tegra 3 tab!
It would be nice to fix the gallery sync with picassa, but thats just a nice-to-have not a must-do.
In summary, the ThL W8 is a really good phone which gets my vote. :good:
Newbie here.....
I have a Verizon LG G3 that I am using with AT&T.
It works well but a couple of issues I'd like to address.
1) I only get H+ and would like to get LTE
2) I am having issues with sending & receiving mms messages where the pictures wont send if I'm on WiFi but send fine when I'm on the data network.
Is there any way to correct/ improve these issues?
Can I flash the stock AT&T rom on the Verizon phone and would it work?
Any help and/ or enlightenment is greatly appreciated.

oh you never flash att&t rom to this phone....and software wouldn't solve ur issue....you only get band 4 lte if im correct...and you never ever flash any rom other than a "vs985"
also..mms has to do with apn settings...
Thanks for the info.
Do you know if the Verizon version has all the LTE bands as the AT&T version but just has them locked or deactivated somehow?
Is there any way to get LTE working for AT&T on the Verizon version?

I have the correct ATT apns and when I receive a MMS I have to turn off WiFi in order to download the picture. It has something to do with the phone
You will get LTE off AT&T (and T-Mobile) if they are using Band4 in your current area. In some areas they use a different band, maybe band 21 - I can't remember offhand. Our VS985 cannot use band21, it uses band 4 and band 13 for LTE though.
It has been figured out that it is also possible to enable Band3 LTE on the VS985, but that is only going to help in other countries, particularly France.

I recently went through this. I was assured from att that I would get lte. Well, after days of trouble shooting with att and trying different hacks I could only get h+
I even went right next to a strong att tower area and still could not. For mms the only way I could get it to work was by using textra, which had a fix for mms by turning off wifi.
What I have learned is that there are some att bands that are locked out in the Verizon phone. There was an xda post that almost had it figured out but nobody could get it working.
H+ is pretty fast by the way, but I was unsatisfied so I am back on Verizon.
And also, do not ever flash anything other than a Verizon rom and radio.

I would message @autoprime about this. He was recently working on unifying all G3 variants' modems since they all use the same radio with different bands unlocked. He may have a method to unlock the bands you need.

Did you make sure Band 4 was supported in your area? I know that's the only LTE band that is supported by the Verizon G3 variant.
The VErizon version uses only the Verizon modem (radio) firmware. It does not and cannot enable the ATT LTE bands.. Just so happens that one band is the same. For the rest you are out of luck. Read this for more information.

[Work in Progress] Trying to Unlock Bands (Including B20)
Conclusion
Changing the NVRAM values, may be the first step in the right direction, but it's not the end. It needs more than this to enable B20 and more.
Introduction
This topic is work in Progress; I edited some NVRAM values in hopes to unlock more bands for the Xiaomi Mi5. Have a look at the following topics.
I've tested it and by the result is that the NVRAM values alone are not enough to enable more bands. In the next paragraph I will shortly explain the test setup and test results.
About the test
Test-Setup: Xiaomi Mi5, In Norway where carriers use Band: 3, 7, 20; Band 20 is for rural areas; Band 3 and 7 are for crowded places
How did I test the NVRAM values: All but Band 20 were disabled, and I drove out to the countryside (rural area)
Result: No Band 20!
Conclusion: The NVRAM values are a good start, but not enough to enable more LTE operating frequencies.
Short Documentation: A short documentation of the performed test.
Original Bands
4G FDD-LTE bands 1 / 3 / 7
4G TDD-LTE bands 38 / 39 / 40 / 41

The Important Line
Code:
ID Desc Original Value Modified Value
06828 lte_bc_config 2061584302149 2061719111903
What will happen next?
4G works on Band: 3, 7 and 20 in Norway. Usually, Band 20 is used in rural areas, and Band 3,7 are in use for more populated areas. As I live in Tromsø, I had 4G out of the box.
So I will have to go out of the city, to test if Band 20 is active, after changing the NVRAM values, on my Xiaomi Mi 5.
Why post this now and not wait a bit?
Maybe there's a mistake in here, and someone has the time to find it.
Why have this value?
If you look at it in binary, each 1 represents an active 4G band. So by changing values from 0 to 1, in theory, additional frequencies are enabled. (Only if the hardware allows it.)
Code:
lte_bc_config (64-bit, of which 44 bits relevant): Bands Active:
2061584302149 00011110000000000000000000000000000001000101 1.3...7. 38-41

How can you help?
Double check the numbers and share your knowledge, pretty please. If something looks fishy to you, ask a question.
MTK has an engineering mode where it's easy to see what bands are enabled. Is there something similar to the MTK engineering mode for Qualcomm SoC's? Is there an easy way to test enabled bands?
What hardware is inside of the phone?
(Just another wild guess, be careful)
I googled a bit, instead of learning Norwegian and found the following. Link: Intrinsyc Introduces Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Cortex-A72-Class Development Board, SoM and MDPs
How did I stumble upon this, I read on en.miui.com that the SD 820 has Qualcomm WCD9335 audio codec, and so found that link.
In the link a as connectivity the following hardware is stated: Qualcomm IZat Gen 8C GPS (WGR7640); and googling for this brought up that the same chip (WGR7640) is used in the SD 410.
One phone that has the SD 410 is the MOTO G (2015); so that allows us the very wild guess that the SD 820 will support at least all the bands of the SD 410.
Please share your opinion on this matter.
Awesome Information by @fredda88:angel:
Inside the Mi5 you will also find the skyworks 77646 power amplifier module and listed under it's 4G features is: LTE supports output power bandwidth bands 1, 25, 3, 4, 39, 26, 8, 20, 12, 17 (and sub-bands 9, 10, 18, 19)

Big UP for you. I need band 20 too on the FDD-LTE. (FRANCE).
HI can try this guide on Moto G 3rd 2015 XT1541?
I need to unlock or add the band 4 (1700/2100)
Any information is appreciated

Try with "lte discovery" app.
On Samsung phones you can use *#0011# code to check it, but I'm not sure wheter it does work or not for other phones.
I have the MI5 and I'm in your same Situation, ist not really needet to unlock B20..... but I can try.
I'm not expert, but I have a Problem to see on what Band I am.
I tryed a lot of apps..... discovery lte say me "lte band unknow".....
so if I make changes I can't see if they works..........

It depends on your carrier, so no way with this app
anybody know an app that give the used Band ?
@ TheUltrametricSpace : your mi5 is unlocked? rooted?...... I was thinking that because my is locked unrooted that I can't see the lte band.

My phone is unlocked but not rooted.
I would assume that the app states somewhere "I want root", so don't think it's needed. But I don't know.
I tryed to send an email at the "lte discovery" so know what's the Problem....
I guess that root privileges are necessary. We would have to analyze what scripts this software uses to state it with certainty but it would be better to have it rooted before trying.
Btw, guys you are amazing! Thank you!

It's written in the app description -> "Identifies EARFCN and Band for any country/provider when using a Qualcomm processor and ROOTED"
I just use it on my phone, it ask for root access with a pop up.
Anyway, thanks for what you're trying to do here.
If I have to root the phone, I have to wait to unlock it first (I've read).......

Would it not be simple to disable, first, all LTE bands. Then ensure you don't get a signal. Then enable just the LTE band you want to test (20 in this case) and see?

That's more work than just rooting the phone and using LTE Discovery.
At least, I don't have the time disable all bands but B20... drive to (and find) an area where B20 is active, test it out .... go back home and start all over again.
I think could be a good idea to enable only the B20, I don't know exactly how my carrier send the 3 bands in my Zone. If they send all 3 bands 3-7-20 in the City.
The Problem is to know where can I find a covery area for the B20, than your idea will be good.
First I have to be sure that if something happen at the phone, I can reinstall it. I read that with Mi PC Suite is possible but now is not supportet the mi5 on this tool

Could always take a laptop with you :silly:
Seriously though as long as LTE Discovery is doing its' job though you wouldn't need to disable the other bands.

Right, yes I have a notebook, and will bring it to the cabin next weekend. (Where there should be B20) ... if I didn't root the phone by then, I will go for your suggestion
But I was hoping to root it, and try it when I'm out skiing somewhere on a hill. (That will happen before the easter weekend)
So Google released the much awaited December update with more than 100 fixes and I have tested some of the newest fixes in and out. Some users now report signal loss and connectivity issues with the December Update, specifically users from Europe and in none supported countries where Pixel 6 is not offered officially, but not only - also official countries users are complaining.
The is a reddit thread where vachezoub suggested a very easy fix for connectivity issues and signal loss and it seems it`s working already for several users! So let`s check this FIX and let`s apply it in this video!

Thanks for the feedback man!
If not a secret, where are you from?
Asking cause I am from Bulgaria, Europe, where the Pixel 6 is not sold officially hence no profiles from the carriers, and it`s a mess - like I said in my video - no 5G (which I can live w/o) but no VoLTE and VoWifi - for the VoLTE I am very much dependent on it as I do a lot of voice calls from mobile while browsing using data and with VoLTE it`s a pleasure and now w/o and the Pixel 6 I am using H+ and it`s... slow
It`s definitely better for myself as well!

Yep, I am following the other topic - I would probably root just to get the VoLTE, dont care so much for 5G... but it`s very disappointing - and it was not like that with Pixel 4 and etc.
One of my friends is in NL - where Google DO have a SHOP - but they DONT sell the Pixel there ... so same story
Hi everyone, I had the same issue with my Pixel 6 Pro and tried everything that you guys mentioned but nothing really worked.
But in another thread I read that it was possible to install the android 12L and android 13 beta modem.img in the public android 12, after that I proceed to install it and it fixed my issue at all, finally I have my P6P just the way it should be without signal dropping when calling and everything working just fine, network speed increased too.
I have these config:
-Android 12 June update.
-Unlocked bootloader.
-Rooted with magisk 25.1
-Installed android 13 beta modem.img vía fastboot.
I leave the modem files, hope it helps you.

Looks like they are the same file with 2 different versions/dates. I was going to flash the modem file from Android 13 Beta 3.2

Does anyone else still has signal issues and call fails even on newest update and beta carrier services. Every call I have to recall atleast twice for stable signal.

I have the same issue on daily basis. I have at least 30 calls per day and every 2nd or 3rd call has to be repeated. I tried to compare my P6 pro with midranger phones with the same network carrier (I used network cell info lite app) and their signal is so much better (per example - 75 dBm, while p6 pro has -90 or above -100 score). I use it in dual sim mode, and there's no difference between eSim and classic physical SIM in signal strength. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THIS. I SEE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM SINCE DECEMBER 2021, AND I'M NOT AN OPTIMIST THAT GOOGLE WILL RESOLVE THIS (I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY DIDN'T DO THAT FOR ALMOST A YEAR). I live in Serbia, where pixels are not in the official carrier sale.

Did you try to use only 2G to one of your two SIMs? Enter to *#*#4636#*#* and lock the one sim to 2G.
If you have unsupported carriers in your phone, is very common. Try the trick above it might help.

I would definitely root simply to gain the VoLTE; I don't care as much about 5G. However, it is quite upsetting because it wasn't like that with the Pixel 4 and other devices. One of my friends lives in the Netherlands, where Google does have a store, but the Pixel is not available there.

As I know pixel 4 doesn't have 5G and there wasn't 5G antennas so as to abolish the 3G ones, as happeining right now.
The users of supported countries have less related issues. Here is the map till now.

I did that. Thank you! It increased the signal strength on the other SIM by 30%. That solved one problem, now I have one more left, because my main SIM (eSIM) is still bad with signal and I can't set it to 2G because I have constant need to be online via LTE network. The phone store don't accept the return of the device through the warranty because when I took the phone to the city center where the shop is located, it catches an excellent network signal, and they say everything's fine, but as soon as you go outside the center (even just two blocks) everything is much worse. At one web page, I saw a comment where a man says that this is a problem of 30% of total users of P6 pro, but I didn't find any other posts about specific product series which has that problem.

The phone store don't accept the return of the device through the warranty because when I took the phone to the city center where the shop is located, it catches an excellent network signal, and they say everything's fine, but as soon as you go outside the center (even just two blocks) everything is much worse. At one web page, I saw a comment where a man says that this is a problem of 30% of total users of P6 pro, but I didn't find any other posts about specific product series which has that problem.

This sounds your carrier's problem. In general, pixels have strong signal comparing to other expensive phones. Apart from the fact that they have interruptions etc.
So, the strength might come from the bad covering from your carrier.
The last suggestion that I can give to you is to swap the eSIM to SIM.

Thank you. I will try to put SIM from another carrier to check if that works. But before I switched my physical SIM to 2G, the signal from that SIM and eSIM were the same (bad). And both of them are from the same carrier at this moment.

Try the sim in another dual phone.
Try another carrier in your phone.
Try a factory reset after the tonight's update.
