This device supports Galileo the new European global navigation satellite system??
Seems Snapdragon 820 supports Galileo, and It has been activated in December 2016, Galileo signals doesn't require different GPS antenna. Maybe It requires some updated gps config, I cannot see its satellites in popular GPS Apps.
Is anyone informed about this matter?
as i know, G5 is NOT able to receive Galileo signal until now.
Try this app to check -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.gpstest
more info about "GPStest" -> https://gis.stackexchange.com/quest...and-apps-with-support-for-galileo-positioning
LG G5 specifications -> http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/da1b7a208
as this info shows, NO SUPPORT for Galileo!

Device specification in this website cannot report GALILEO support in any case since are relative to official specs at the launch of the terminal, and GALILEO was activated in December 2016 and supported in Nougat.
For example in my older Optimus smartphone in official specs is reported only GPS but with a simple update it can fix now both Glonass and Beidou.
anyway, with rom 20d and the recommanded app from above, i can’t see Calileo!

same here,
for this reason I'm looking for some way to enable the support
as i have read, the 820 cpu has a "modem" that was able to be updated by manufacturer (snapdragon)
But i don’t know a way to do that.

Hi
As I understand the Honor 5x has the necessary hardware for VoLTE (voice over LTE) and Wifi-calling.
Does anyone know if Honor will enable these 2 features in their upcoming official Android Marshmallow release for the Honor 5X ?
I have the Honor 5X - KIW-L21 version and it would be great to have these 2 features enabled.
Perhaps the Honor reps active on the forum can make a recommendation to their development team to have VoLTE and Wifi - calling enabled on the Marshmallow release.
Thank you

@Tasha T Nope its does not come with that update, may-be custom ROM' s may enclose those.
Hello @Tasha T,
I am a beta tester for Android 6.0+EMUI 4.0 update for Honor 5x and I confirm that both of the features are not implemented in the beta release. However I will raise a new requirement to the development team to include both of these features. :fingers-crossed:

Here is he letter I received this AM regarding the MM testing program.
Hi All,
Thanks to your hard work we have decided to release B331 publicly. Within a week you should see the software available on the www.hihonor.com website.
GPS Update:
I received notice from my engineering team that they might have found a fix for this. They will update me tomorrow.
Note: B331 is not the end of the KIWI FUT. We will hopefully be releasing another update. Things to be included in this next update:
- VoLTE for TMO
- GPS fix
- Updated security patches
- Misc bug fixes
Best Regards,
Sean Stitt
UI/UE Feature Director, Technical Acceptance

That's great news regarding VOLTE. Is it possible to reply asking about Wi-Fi Calling? That would make it a 100% compatible TMO device.

What's the problem with the GPS?
Does this mean the other variants of the Honor 5X (eg. KIW-L21) will also get the update that will enable Wifi Calling ?
According to the UK Honor rep (James Pearce) the Honor 5X has hardware limitations that prevent enabling Wifi Calling.
I wonder if Honor in the UK is aware that the Honor 5X does indeed have the hardware capability for Wifi Calling, now that the Honor USA rep has confirmed such a future firmware update.

I do not know about all variants. There are different teams working on the various variants. All I can verify is what they say on the US team.

Thanks for the info. This is the only place where I found some sign showing there is hope for Honor 5X B12 working with TMO. Any ETA on when will we get to try this update? If not the final release, does honor 5x have a beta program?
Awesome to hear about VoLTE/Band 12 support. I pulled the trigger on the Amazon deal today as a stopover upgrade on my Nexus 5.
No word on when it's gonna happen, I have merely been told that VoLTE for TMO will probably be the next upgrade. They just released stock MM (B331) today for the L-24 variant here in the USA.
T-MoWifi calling is sorely missed with Honor 5x. Hope to see it fixed in subsequent updates

Likewise.
Just to clarify, Band 12 support is implied with VoLTE implementation, right? I bought this phone to use on T-Mobile and seeing band 12 on the spec sheet is something that really pushed me to pick this up. There are a band 12 towers going up in my (the indianapolis) area and I was looking forward to getting better coverage than on my Z1 Compact.
I really want to get this phone on TMO. Being they released the B331 in July. Any chance the update with VOLTE will be released anytime soon? I guess what I'm asking is how often do they release firmware?
Out of curiosity, I cross-referenced a list of Snapdragon 616 devices with a list of band 12 devices on T-Mobile. I was hoping that another device would be compatible and we could try examining the radio firmware on it to get band 12 working on kiwi, but it doesn't look like there are 616 devices with band 12 on T-Mobile (assuming that both of those lists are comprehensive). If huawei follows through on their promise to deliver Band 12 and VoLTE, this could be the first device on this SoC to get that functionality.

Hello,
Remember I had raised and enhancement for VoLTE during beta testing for Android 6.0+EMUI 4.0 for Honor 5x? They have listened to it. VoLTE has been introduced on the latest update by Huawei on L22 variant, and should soon be available on others as well Here is the link for the official communication:

Ok, sorry about this bit of a noob (and the MIUI forums are a bit sarcy) you guys are usually helpful..ok, i bought a redmi 5 + from ebay, it came as the chinese model i.e MEE7 (not MET7 or MEG7) now when i boot up it says 'unlocked' under the Mi logo and there's a unlocked padlock symbol, the MIUI version is Global 9.5 Stable 9.5.11.0 (NEGMIFA) which i received as an OTA (so i assume i can get OTAs for this phone even though it's Chinese?)...now i've been told that i can't get band 20 (via MIUI forums and said i was ripped off) after checking on LTE discovery i'm on band 7 (i'm in the UK and with EE and i seem to get 4G+) is band 20 that important? how can i check what bands this phone has got? is band 20 faster? on net velocity i get 35.25mps download and 19.72mps upload., is this ok?..also will i be hampered in anyway with regards to future updates, including Oreo and MIUI 10...any help would be great guys, and cheers for helping a noob.
See.:good:
Band 20 is an issue in some countries where it is used more, and not in others. Don't know about the UK, but it is being rolled out more and more across Europe.
It's important because it's a low frequency band for good coverage both outdoors over a long range and deep indoors. This is the band that also gives you the good converge inside of the buildings.
Higher frequency bands have more capacity. Lower frequency bands have better coverage.
You shouldn't be missing anything else. Your phone should update fine with the global rom.

Ok cool, so i'm not crippled by the fact it's a chinese model then (as it updates fine via OTA) by the way how can i check what bands are on this phone?? the apps i've tried just tell the band being currently used (in my case 7) but nothing tells you what is available (on Mediatek you can use engineering mode) does a mode exist for QC snapdragon?
But : are you sure your are getting 4g+ and not only 4g?
Because many xiaomi phones including the 5 plus don't have interband carrier aggregation on bands 3+7 (only intraband which is used in China).
There is however a patch on the miui forum to enable it. But some users have reported that the resulting speeds are slower than 4g. Others haven't said anything.
---------- Post added at 02:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 AM ----------
Yes, search Google for the ### code tu access the engineering info. You can see the bands there.

There are at least three versions of this same model (not variant);
First, the chinese version that was the first available in stores like Aliexpress, Gearbest and others (I bought this), it has firmware only in chinese and english and then to solve this some sellers flashed international rom to devices that were dispatched for other places in the world out of China and some devices came unlocked out of the box.
A second version precharged with international firmware (by the manufacturer) with more languages for the great demmand in the world.
These two previous versions came with the bands 4G: FDD-LTE B1/B3/B5/B7/B8 and there´s no way to enable more bands cause is a limitation hardware related.
A third version Global that came with the bands 4G:FDD LTE B1: 2100/B3: 1800/B4: 1700/B5: 850/B7: 2600/B8: 900/B20: 800MHz for a difference about 25Usd at starting in february; in red marked the added bands.

So should i really worry at not having band 20, or should i ask for a swap to a global version if it's going to cause me problems in the future with regards to OTAs (i.e MIUI 10 and Oreo etc) i have received working OTAs recently with no problems...

Mine is MEE7 version, there is no substantial differences, most likely is a method to mark the batches simply.
This version is the first chinese anyway the second has the same bands enabled, only the differences are the firmware pre-installed. Other simply way to check this is that this version came into a box very red with all chinese letters and the second comes in a red-orange-ish. Yes, sellers unlock bootloader in this first version to can flash international firmware more easily and without risks to brick device.
If your carrier works in the band 7 for 4G and also 4G+ then it has to work normally, Many countries don't work with the band 20, any of the bands allows implement the most advanced features so them depends on the carrier it mean that an operator can improve the reachability in a band but improve the strength signal in other; first option is most used in cities with less population to reach great distances and a second is used to improve the quality when demand it's highly required.
No worry about OTAs, updates, miui 10, this version is absolutely functional and working great.
@seedaripper
Hi
If you can get hold of an O2 SIM try and see if it will work in your phone, if it does you have Band 20 (800), as O2 only use Band 20 in UK.

No, I´m very prideful for this device, it´s not a fake at all, the great difference is only the two bands enabled in the global (really) version but I didn´t need this.
There is something that I noted like a difference within miui roms and any aosp based rom, the signal in aosp roms is slightly better than in miui roms. A simple way to see the strength is going to Settings/about phone/status/sim status you will see a range normally between (in my experience);
- In aosp based roms it´s -83 to -91
- In miui or miui based roms it´s -91 to -97
When the level is more (in a negative scale) it´s mean better signal. That´s about cellullar signal not specifically the uploading/downloading of data, for this there should be an application in Play Store also some custom tweaked roms can improve this.

Ok so i'm getting 83dBm 57 asu? don't you mean when the level is 'less' in a negative scale i.e the lower the better?
Yes, i'm pleased by the phone, just a bit worried about future updates, to be honest (with regards to it being a foreign ROM on a Chinese phone) i don't use my data much (only when travelling abroad or journeys within the UK) otherwise i leech from wifi...looking forward to MIUI 10 (and fingers crossed an Oreo update in its wake)

No, definitely you don´t have nothing to worry about, remember that really all R5+ are chinese, I just referred to a chinese version to indicate how it´s recogniced the first version but Xiaomi considers all these versions like upgradable.
You have an excellent signal strength, you forgot the symbol (-) and it´s correct the stated before, in a positive scale a superior number is more and in a negative scale an inferior number is in the same way by the logic of the opposites; more.
Please, could someone test if the V60 actually supports dual-frequency GPS? SD 865 does support it, but it is not listed anywhere in the phone specs. Easy way to test it is to install GPSTest app (the one by barbeauDEV, not the other), go outside with GPS on and see if it detects any L5 or E5 signals (some others exist as well) in addition to L1 and E1 signals in the CF column, and please also post a screenshot of what your device shows.
I would post a sample screenshot but as a new user I'm apparently not allowed to do so. Anyway you can find sample screenshots by googling images for "dual-frequency gpstest" for example.
Thank you so much!
My phone hasn't been delivered yet, but dual frequency definitely interests me. If you don't get an answer before then I will test mine.

will do dual freq, but no Galileo GPS satellites for some reason. first pic is from the v60, the second is from a Xperia 1. V60 spec sheet says id does do them so figuring t-mobile turned them off for some reason.

Found this.
The European Union can't shut up about its own Galileo system, going to great lengths to extol its virtues with fun little promos like the video below. According to the creator of the GPSTest app Dr. Barbeau, however, in the US there will be no European satellites listed, even if the chipset supports multi-GNSS constellations and can take in Galileo signals, like the 855.
"This is because the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC) must first approve Galileo before any devices can use its signals on US soil," says the European Global Navigation Satellite Systems Agency.
little late with that one, my xperia 1 which I bought from Sony direct has galileo enabled on it. And I have seen the satellites on a pixel 2xl and 3axl. FCC approved the GPS in late 2018.

Thanks for that. So do you think LG just disabled it?
Thank you all so much! Being in Europe I hope Galileo will be available here. Wondering if V60 still supports dual-freq for Galileo satellites. If anyone has an European version (is it even available yet anywhere in Europe?), please post some screenshots!
Completely another thing is that this phone apparently won't be available here in Finland. May have to settle for ordering it from some other country..
On Verizon, (if that matters) I have L1, L5, E1, E5a.
Hello everybody. I'm a newcomer here, and own the Samsung Galaxy A 52 5G (model SM-A526B/DS).
Unlike other Samsung devices I own or have owned, there's no radio app on it so far.
I've found several contradictory information about this on the net : some pages state there's an FM chip on the motherboard of the device, and others state the opposite.
So I'd like to know if someone here has the right answer. I don't want to use my data nor to empty my battery listening to radio apps, whereas former devices allowed me to listen to radio using only my headphones.
I also read somewhere - don't remember where, sorry - that rooting the device allowed one to use F-Droid (which I already installed for other purposes) to install a radio app called Spirit. But I first need to know if there's a radio chip on it, or it would have no interest otherwise. Though I intend to root the phone... one of these days...
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi, there's no FM radio chip on A52 5G.
Yes, there is.
I own an A526B/DS and it has an FM radio and the Radio app preinstalled. Maybe it's a regional thing? I have the UK model if that makes a difference. But I can 100% confirm that my A52 5G has a working FM radio as seen by the attached screenshot.

Thank you for your answer. As you said, maybe it's a regional thing : I'm in France. I sent Samsung a mail, and am waiting for the answer.
I wrote Samsung an inquiry mail, and just received an answer. I paste the translation here :
"
[...] I am following up on your message about the possibility of listening to the radio directly on your smartphone without using an Internet connection. To do this, your mobile must have an FM receiver. This chip, directly integrated into the motherboard of your phone, will allow you to pick up the waves emitted by the radios.
Some smartphones do not have an FM receiver.
Your Samsung Galaxy A52 5G does not have Radio.
The Radio application no longer exists. This is not a malfunction of your phone. When updates are made, some of the old features disappear to make room for new ones, depending on the memory of the device.
If your smartphone does not have an FM receiver, you can always turn to podcast services. Most major radio stations offer this type of offline listening.
- Open your web browser;
- Type in the URL of your favourite FM station;
- Then select the podcast section in the navigation menu.
In addition, the phone can work with third-party online radio applications that require an internet connection.
In the Play Store you will find a multitude of radio applications to choose from.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
I wish you a pleasant day!
Sincerely yours, [...]"
So it seems to be a regional thing indeed. I should have bought and ordered mine in the UK...
Maybe Ill be able to use Spirit if I root the device. But I won't ask Samsung about it...
Thanks for the answres anyhow.
And a 2nd mail from Samsung taught me today it's a territorial restriction indeed : the Australian version for instance has got this radio chip...
I bought mine in Belgium and it has the Radio app as wel and it works!

Dear friends,
I read on gsmarena that the A52 5g has an fm radio.
After that, I bought it here in Greece, but when I opened it, I didn't find a radio app.
I don't know if it has the fm radio chip.
Is there any chance it has it disabled and I can somehow enable it?
What do you say;
Thanks!

Yes, there is.
I own an A526B/DS and it has an FM radio and the Radio app preinstalled. Maybe it's a regional thing? I have the UK model if that makes a difference. But I can 100% confirm that my A52 5G has a working FM radio as seen by the attached screenshot.
