Sorry but this is kernel thread so I can't guide you how to root your phone. You can check other threads here or go to LG V50 G8 telegram group to get information. Once you get root with Magisk, you can use Magisk Manager to install my kernel.

Hi

Will this kernel do some improvements to radio? I don't know if I should change kernel with loosing warranty or my mobile is simply damaged.

TL; DR - will new kernel improve radio stability over LTE?

I have an korean verion (g820n) of G8 . While network is set up to LTE connection (LTE / UMTS (PRL)), I can freely use internet, even with low reception (-115dBm) and make calls out (but phone switches to GSM for that time), yet no one can call me - while trying, phone switches to GSM for a shrot time, and sometimes second or third attemp will succed.

Setting connection type to Global (PRL) solves almost everything but radio will get stuck on EDGE (GSM) so its non-usable for internet.

What else i have noticed:

-in the same spot, same reception lvl and cell tower, huawei p30pro or samsung a21 are working fine on LTE

-reception of band7 (LTE) is much worse than on other phones I mentioned

-lg is not switching to cell tower with better signal, for eg. it keeps connection to -115dBm cell instead of switching to -95dBm

So will new kernel be a solution or rather not?

Regards and sorry for my english.

Hi!

I haven't tried this kernel yet but I am struggling with the same exact problems on my G820N. VoLTE doesn't seem to work and most of the time the phone is too slow to fallback to GSM to receive incoming calls. Also I haven't found any way to disable VoLTE so either it's Global (PRL) with EDGE or LTE without incoming calls.

Rooting this phone has seemed too unsure so far, so I've been waiting for the Android 11 to come and hopefully fix this. I'm happy to hear if you can find a solution with this kernel or something else!

Hi! I created this thread for SM-N9860 HK/TW/CH variant users from Philippines.

The GOAL is to make our units work with our local carriers':

4G Carrier Aggregation (4G CA) (i.e. 4G+/LTE-A).

5G network

and resolve any carrier related issues that you want to address.

First, I will share my personal experience with my unit using my Globe 5G enabled postpaid sim. My N20U 5G unit is from Hongkong with TGY (Hongkong) CSC.

While on TGY, 4G CA and 5G on my unit were NOT working. I am only getting max 20mbps with 4G and not getting the 4G+ signal.

Note: To check the existing CSC, go to settings > about phone > software info >service provider SW ver. You should see something like TGY/TGY,TGY/TGY.

However, I was able to change my CSC from TGY to BRI (Taiwan's CSC) using the procedures in this thread.

I am now on BRI and I am glad that 4G CA is now working. I am already getting 70-125mbps on speedtest with it. Check this post on how to check 4G CA.

However, I have not tested the 5G signal yet as I am far from a 5G enabled location.

It's noteworthy though that Taiwan telcos use 5G bands

n78

, n257 and LTE DSS which include that

n78

5G band being used by telcos in the Philippines (source: List of 5G NR networks

)

I am hoping for fellows to hit this thread try this change and test if this will work on his/her network, hopefully on 5G network too.

Hello mga Kababayan!

Glad to meet you here. Just an update on my case. I am back on TGY and 4G c.a. is working fine now on my unit with the latest update. I still don't have a chance to test 5G as there's no 5G here in our province.

But for those interested, here's the ff new hopefully useful info that I read somewhere.

The following are the mobile 5G bands being used in the Philippines from foi.gov.ph:

- Smart: 1, 3, 5, 8, 40, 41 and 78

Update: According to this article in smart website, they are using NR28, NR41 and NR78 with 5G

- Globe: 1, 3, 8, 28, 40, 41

Update: According to Globe's website, they are using NR41 and NR78

View attachment 5327677

-DITO: 1, 28, 34, 41, 78

The 5GNR bands missing is in N9860 are 5, 8, 34 and 40. Theoretically, our device should work in 5G sites utilizing 5GNR bands 1, 3, 28, 41 and 78 which our device is capable of. Otherwise, 5G will not work.

However, there are config issues that possibly keep our device from working on our country's 5G.

- 5G Stand Alone (SA) mode is disabled by default in our device. But there's a way to enable it.

- 5GNR band 28 in TGY and 5GNR bands 3 and 28 in BRI are disabled by default. But there's a way to enable it.

To enable 5G Stand Alone Mode:

1. Install Google Phone app from Play Store and set it as default dialer.

2. Open Google Phone app and key in *#*#27663368378#*#*

3. Go to UE SETTING&INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> NR5G SA/NSA Mode Control > SA/NSA ENABLE Exit then reboot.

View attachment 5176209

To enable 5G bands 3 and 28:

1. Same steps 1&2 above.

2. Go to UE SETTING&INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NR5G -> NR5G SA/NSA Mode Control > NR5G PRUNE STATUS -> Remove NR5G Prune. Exit then reboot.

3.

4. Go to UE SETTING&INFO -> SETTING -> PROTOCOL -> NAS -> NETWORK CONTROL -> BAND SELECTION -> BAND SELECTION SIM * -> NR5G Band Preference -> (select bands 3 and 28 both SA and NSA; they should have asterisks) -> GO MAIN -> APPLY BAND CONFIGURATION. Exit then reboot

The above guides are based on this thread.

Share if you have tested the above and if it does work on your unit or not.

UPDATES:

New method to access ServiceMode in Android 11 in this post.

Finally a working solution to Enable 5G - Huge thanks to @xUtsumi for discovering and sharing this solution.

After that, redo step 3 above.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] tribalfs:
According to a document release from foi.gov.ph. But may not be accurate as with what they indicated for globe, aside from 78 maybe which is a more universal sub6 5G band.

Edit: Also 28 and 41 according to this article. All used in 5G CA, not clear though if these are interband or intraband CA.

Mine didn't. Bands were gone. I had to do the steps again to make them appear. Also as tribalfs said that we now have an option for NR5G CA. So maybe we can connect to multiple 5G bands now? I am still exploring the new UE settings menu to check if there are other changes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] syber shaman:
I have a dual sim model and Smart shows 5g connection. My other sim is GoMo and I haven't seen it connect to 5g yet, but that can be attributed to the horrible reception in my location.

5g CA would be amazing! Hope something comes out of it.

For 4G+, use QPST and delete prune_ca_combos and prune_ca_combos_Subscription01 files in nv > item_files > modem > lte > rrc > cap in your phone's EFS directory. These 2 files limits the 4G CA that our device can do. Did it and it vastly improved my 4G+ reception; more consistent than before.
