    Hey just asking if anyone could help. Bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and I'm with 3. It roams off O2 but I cannot get 4g. At most I get H+ and the connection keeps dropping. Anyone have help please?

    According to specs it doesn't use LTE band 20 which is the most common used band for LTE over here. That's probably your problem.

    Most Chinese phones are missing band 20 which is the main 4g network used in Ireland you may find it will pick up 4g in the bigger towns.

    Check http://willmyphonework.net/

    This result check says it is compatible and may work with some carriers

    Sounds like that is based on band 3?

    here is what the result says:

    How To Interpret The Results

    When performing a search, you will be presented with three networks: 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE.
    For the technical savvy, we have included the network frequencies that match between the mobile device and the network carrier. Also, we consider HSPA+ to be 3G.
    Note: Will My Phone Work assumes that your device is unlocked or allowed to be run on the desired mobile network. Certain carriers such as Verizon USA have an "approved list" of devices. This means that although the phone is compatible with the carrier's network frequencies, the device is blocked. Also, some carriers make frequencies/bands available only to specific geographical regions.

    Someone in the Chinese phone thread had said they had that phone on the 3 network and were picking up 4g occasionally, seems to depend on where you are
