Make the 5G icon only appear when It's actually connected - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, so my Oneplus 8 5G show me the 5G icon even when it's just on LTE but the LTE tower also support 5G nsa. I find that pretty annoying that the device is lying about the connectivity.
Anyway to do so? I don't mind solutions that need root. Thanks

how to enable 4g+

hi everyone
I'm living in iran and carrier support 4g+ on 3 and 7 band
how to enable 4g+ on my phone?
I believe the phone connects to it automatically, because here in India whenever I go to areas with 4G+ it shows/connects automatically.
my phone also never shows 4G+ even in countries where it should work... and my LTE speed is always low compared to other phones using same network. More here

It is hardware related and depends on which model of the F1 you have. If your F1 model supports bands 3 and 7, then you will get it, otherwise not.

If your carrier supports 4G+ on specific bands, then you can "force" your phone to connect to those specific bands by using apps like Network signal guru.

Zenfone 7 Pro CellBand USA Compatibility

ATT will ONLY work upto 3g. You will see an H on top the signal bar which indicates a Enhanced 3g speed also know as HSPA speed connection. I have tried 2 new sim cards. I have tried several APN's I have tried all updates and a reset. No 4G and no 5G on ATT. Unless someone can tell me something new, this phone will not FULLY work on ATT. Text works. Calls work. Internet is sort of hit and miss with decent signal but again rather slow.
T Mobile will ONLY work upto 4g. No Volte although it seems to have the capability of Volte it cant not work with Tmobile Volte because it seems the cell bands are not compatible. Text work. Internet works rather fast, Good solid signal however no 5G and no Volte due to incompatible cell bands.
I did research on this subject and found that the ATT cell bands for everything including 5G do seem to be compatible with the 7 pro but again, it does not FULLY work oddly
I also did research on Tmobile cell bands and the bands for 5G are not even close to being compatible. Volte is also non compatible. 4g is compatible and works..
That is disappointing to hear as I have been looking into this phone and assumed it would have full usage on ATT.

I got volte to work on tmobile for anyone who is reading this later. Fairly easy to do after the pain of figuring it out was over. My data also fluctuates between 4G and LTE (4G+) as well.

How did you get T-Mobile to activate the service on your phone? They just tell me it's not compatible.

[Guide] Easy method to Enable Volte (with root) on Tmobile and maybe other networks on Android 11 and maybe 10
So first you have to root. I used twrp and magisk. There are guides on how to do that you can find by searching around. Then once you do that, follow these directions, What I did was manually entered all of these setprop commands below, on the...

Sorry, thought you were asking about setting up Volte on the Zenfone 7, so I pasted that link.
To use this phone in TMobile, no special activation is needed. Just a tmobile sim that can handle voice / data.

Help: I bought a Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5g SM-N986N (Korean LG U+ Variant) I live in the Philippines. Will the 5G work in my country?

Hope someone can give me advice. I have 5g in my house, my wife uses an IPHONE 12 promax and it can detect 5G but my device cant. can anyone help me please?
I'd like to up this too. I bought a Korean single sim phone with band n78 but it cannot detect 5g while my wife's IPhone 12 can. Any advice? Tried doing the quickshortcut app technique accessing the 5g signal manually but it won't select it for some reason
Check your SIM card or contact your carrier for help.
hi! Globe uses 5G NR/NSA n78 Band, which the korean varian SM-N986N supports.
Globe also provided information for foreign visitors who would like to hook to their infrastructure while visiting Ph. (see link below. don't mind the partner carrier)
5G Technology for Mobile - Globe
5G technology is the next generation of wireless internet connectivity that offers faster speed and more reliable internet connection than ever before.
www.globe.com.ph
if SM-N986N can't see the 5G network while other locally bought phones can, chances are 5G NR/NSA n78 band isn't available in your area and other phones hook through other 5G bands, or your sim card does not support 5G services.
i wasn't able to verify this when I went back to Ph, since my current provider's partner network is Smart

Advanced network scan with network specs

Hello,
I have a brand new s21 5g wothout a 5g contract.
I'd like to scan the network searching for 5g availability around me and I often saw here screenshot with
Network name - 5g
Network name - 4g
etc.
The basic scan of the s21 doesn't do that. Can you suggest me an app or something? I use netmonster but it show only the connected cells and, as I said, I have no 5g contract so no connection.
Thanks!

Probably because
1. Both phones support different 4g+ bands, and your carrier might not support the bands which is compatible with the Poco M4 Pro.
2. Xiaomi probably forgot your carrier exists and maybe the phone's firmware lacks the necessary configurations required to support 4g+ with your carrier.
Hi. Happens the same to me.
Moto g52 uses 4g+ meanwhile poco m4 pro 4g doesn't. Same operator(ho mobile, Italian virtual of Vodafone) , some place. Nothing we can do but changing phone. By the way even without 4g+ it works fine so we have to live with that since there is no way to enable it.
