1. Not sure if Glo 4G signals cover my area but From Glo's coverage map, the area is covered (VI-Lekki axis)

2. I wasn't actually testing with a Glo SIM card but rather using the phone to scout 4G signals around. I saw all the other networks except Glo (all the networks are supported by the phone except Spectranet, Swift and Smile - funny how they all start with letter 'S' cheesy)

3. I hope to get a 4G Glo SIM but scared it might not be backward compatible with 3G which might mean losing coverage when this happens.



earthrealm:


are you sure glo 4g is in your location?. 2ndly are you sure your glo sig is 4g?. if yes to the above questions, contact glo cc via chat, they will help confirm your sims status, i had a similar problem, not knowing that the alleged 4g sim sold to me at glo office wasnt a 4g sim!

I don't think that's the issue as it's already on LTE only undecided

DOWNLOAD the app opensignal, it will show you all the cell towers around you, you can toggle on the 4g, so it only shows you 4g towers of the network you choose, its backwards compatible to 1g/gsm sef. with the glo oga sim, you get the cheapest data in naija 5k gives about 30gb, and you can share to as many as 10 people, and the sim doesnt even have to be in a phone, why you think say i wan die for any band 28 LTE device wey dey affordable?.. grin grin grin grin all my folks are gradually switching to glo data

It has LTE Band 28 which is the Glo's LTE Band

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by bigtt76(f): 12:04pm On Oct 14, 2018
No but on another device (which also did not display Glo 4G) I saw the following networks

62127 4G
62124 4G
62126 4G
62131 4G

From my research Glo is 62150 and the ones above are either Swift, Spectranet or Smile

Meaning the powerbank has approximately an efficiency of 71.3%

Yeah... I've been doing that since Friday morning... I just want to know how many times it will charge the phone from zero to 100... Because I've never drain the phone battery before.. I always top up the battery when it drop down to %22 and remove it when it charge to %88...

Yeah... Its not up to the 20,000mah as prescribe... Because the max 2 is 5400 and it charge it twice... Plus %69 on third charging... Making it around 15000mah
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Harryfrosh: 2:02pm On Oct 14, 2018
But I give credit to the powerbank... The Q.C 3.0... Fast charge really fast... It charge max 2 from zero percent to hundred percent (%0 to %100) in 2 hours 30 minutes

Powerbanks are never 100% efficient, some of the power stored will eventually be lost to conversion and heat.
