Can anyone confirm what would be the best model for someone in the UK?
I need to return an H820 due to multiple issues. Lots of minor problems had a fix or workaround, but the deal breakers were the blocked updates (thanks AT&T) and no 3g connection for some reason. It’s listed as supporting 2100MHz, but 3g isn’t an option in the settings. Even when using the V10 Hidden Settings app to force 3g it won’t connect. It doesn’t even see 3g providers with a manual search. 2g and 4g were fine though but I have patchy 4g coverage in my area… at best.
Anyway, I was looking at the H850 as it's the European version, but it appears it’s actually lagging behind carrier models for updates. Some aren’t getting OTA or LG Bridge updates for some reason. It’s a shame because I quite liked the phone otherwise and being a great spec and generally unloved makes it good value IMHO.
Maybe someone can confirm if they are successfully using any version in the UK?
I have the H850 model with vodafone sim and it works great with 4g.
Thanks for the info :good:
Do you know if you get good (or any) 3g reception? Also, what version/patch date is android on your phone?

Version 20S_00 I think the patch is from November 2017. I usually get 4g reception and only occasionally 3g reception. Although LG have confirmed Oreo is coming to the G5, recently. Also the reception is going to be dependent on your provider and your area, the phone works great on any network.
Thanks again. 3g reception is very good in my area (poor 4g) and works perfectly with several providers and other handsets. The H820 didn’t offer 3g in the settings for some reason. I tried the V10 Hidden Settings app (see below) to unlock the option and when 3g was forced it refused to connect at all. Hopefully it’s not an issue with the H850.

November 17 patch is a bit of a worry though… did you decline a more recent update? The only reason I ask is because there seems to be a lot of owners who just stop getting updates on eligible models and LG wash their hands of the problem. A big draw for me would be the ongoing updates and possibility of Oreo.

I've racked my brain on this for hours, searched and searched and come up empty, now I'm putting it to everyone here for some help.
Today, my phone has been saying that I'm roaming, no matter what network I'm connected to. I'm on AT&T (have been since 2005) and haven't had this problem up until today. I'd expect it to display roaming when I'm on a partner network (US Cellular/UNICEL), but now it's doing it when connected to AT&T's towers and I can't use any mobile data.
I hadn't changed ANYTHING today (radio, ROM, APN settings, etc.) before it happened. I've tried several things in an attempt to fix it, as well: switching from CM7 (my current ROM) back to Aura; reflashing the latest AT&T radio (from both the CM7 post as well as kenn's Alien post); resetting the APN list to default; manually entering the 4 AT&T APNs (US, US HSDPA, US Tether, and US MMS).
I'm at a total loss and need some fresh minds to take a crack at this too.
Here's what my current "About Phone" looks like:

Try to restore default apn's. the stock AT&T ones, not the single one that comes with cm7

I had a similar issue once when my father and I were on a long trip. Both of our phones just stopped having a data (and probably voice too). Mine was running CM7 while his was stock gingerbread. I had to fix both by enabling international roaming and this remained a problem for several hours until either time or distance fixed the problem.
Essentially it looks like AT&T was actually the problem since we were in the middle of Wisconsin in an area that had pretty good signal. We never saw an issue on the bill and once international roaming was turned on my data speeds were perfectly acceptable.
I know it isn't the same issue, but if your phone functions normally then I wouldn't worry about it unless it takes more than a couple of days to clear up.

The thing is, I haven't travelled at all; I'm in my home area. It's good to hear that you were able to set International Roaming without being charged, though. I'm hoping it's just a problem on AT&T's end, but I haven't heard anyone else complaining about it yet...
Called AT&T to verify no towers down in your area? You stated you have stayed in your home area. It's entirely possible there is work going on on the tower you usually connect through, and this has resulted in you being on a partner tower and roaming. Just a thought.
I have x822 and from the begining I didn't have LTE signal thats why started to change roms. Now I have CM13 on it, but still no LTE. When I change for prefered LTE I didn't have any signal... Apn is good. Don't know what is wrong, maybe someone can solve that problem or have same? Can it be hardware problem? Also signal is all the time changing between 3G and H+. Same SIM card in HTC M8 in same place has good LTE signal. I tried both SIM card slots, but nothing happend, still no lte signal.

First thing I'd suggest is going to your Telco and getting a new sim unless it is already new.

but in HTC M8 it works.
Poland LTE bands: 800, 1800, 2600
Everything is ok for me with LTE. 800 and 1800 tested, no 2600 signal here yet.

I found this:
Telco does not accepte IMEI in 86 only in 35.
can it be the reason?
I dont know but both of my IMEI starts with 86.
Why don't you call them, just to check and eliminate SIM card problem?
Second, maybe there is some kind of difference in modems, X820 vs X822. Do you have same Baseband version as i do or?
Sent from my Le X820 using Tapatalk
Baseband Is same. I don't NKWD wiat happened, but today I start to have LTE, strange.
We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.
is this phone support volte ?

Yes
The device supports dual 4 G with dual volte and it is a great thing because it is one of the most rarest think that you will be finding in this price range in all other phones and definitely I would like to tell you that in the scenario when I was getting no signal with the 4 G in one building now I am getting more than half of the signal bar at the same place I would definitely say that it is a very good upgrade over my previous phone now
hats off to the company
Has anyone tested this out in the US? This looks like my dream phone but frequencycheck says that only 1 of the 4 AT&T LTE bands are supported. What will this affect - data throughput or signal reception? or is it not worth worrying about at all, since I do have at least one band to work with?

I am not from US but AFAIK your signal reception itself won't be affected but your LTE might. If you can manage it with 3g then great.
Go for the 602KL variant , but you still might face the above mentioned issue.
Better for you to check with offical asus website, customer care (duh) or their offical forums.
Or reddit might be your best option.
Anyone experiencing Network Bugs ?
Poor Internet.!
PUBG is unplayable.!
BUT Reception is Good.

I agree dude. The transfer speeds were pretty good until the last two upgrades. It was worse but after I wiped cache and reseted network preferences, it's a bit better now

I'm in the USA. Got this phone, put my FreedomPop SIM in (a AT&T MVNO).
And pretty much everywhere in my city it stayed at 3G.
I ported my number to Red Pocket (another AT&T MNVO) because I was sick of FreedomPop's messaging app you're forced to use.
With the RP SIM, same thing, mostly 3G.
I know this phone doesn't support AT&T's main LTE band 12/17, but supports 2,4 and 5.
So, playing around with settings (*#*#4636#*#*) I changed Set Preferred Network Type to: LTE/UMTS auto and it changed from 3G 850MHz (Band 5) to 4G Band 2.
Will it fall back to 3G when it needs to with this setting?

OK, I changed my Preferred network type from 4G/3G/2G to 3G/2G and it automatically changed to 3G.
Changed back, and back on 4G.
Think I'll be OK.
Something to check for fellow US users that might have this issue.
I'm also in the U.S.and have freedompop but I get 4G. At least it says 4G in the status (not LTE). I don't know whether I'm actually getting 4G speed. Seems fast enough.
Good to know this trick, in any event
Thanks

Yeah I know about speed test. I just didn't want to blow through my data cap lol I'm a cheap bastard.
I am not getting the same internet speed as I was getting on my op7t pro while on mobile data. Did any one face the same issue? I also noticed that internet is not working while on call.
Yes, my pixel 6 had struggled with speed/service compared to any other phone I own.
Hope this can be improved by futuer updates

Same here
Reviews have commented on this. The P6 has a Samsung modem while virtually every other phone in America has a Qualcomm one.
I too am hoping Google can pull some firmware magic for it.

check your carrier aggregation. I also dont have full data speed in my country as it is not one of the countries where the pixel is sold

i was getting good speed on my oneplus 7t pro. in op it was showing 4g+ but in pixekl it is showing LTE only.
Yeah, I dont know. Google is a ****. Unsupported countries cant have 5g, volte, vowifi and looks like also 4g+. Also the modem is a couple years old and gets way worse signal strength then other devices. Where my pixel 2xl gets -75 dcb, the 6 gets -95. Same sim card.

Just pathetic. Luckily T-Mobile letting me return it.
I think many operators use different vendors' kit in their Radio Access Network, different firmware in that, and different configuration/settings for it. Of course they're all supposed to comply with standards but this would explain on our P6's so far unoptimized firmware:
The variability over standby battery consumption due to network standby (much worse for some)
The variability over max 5G data rates (much worse for some)
Why Google were under pressure for a quick fix for some operators in the US (the Nov update only folk in the US got). Maybe those operator's customers were severely affected.
Hopefully successive optimizations are possible that will fix these issues for most. Crossing fingers that's the case and doesn't take too long. Next drop should be next week based on the recent cadence...
