Recently Maxis free upgrade my plan to 5G but I didn't receive any 5G signal at all. Tech support said my Poco X3 GT not supported by DNB huhu. Sad thing is last year in Thailand I could use 5G over there. Cukur I didn't pay to upgrade my plan to 5G.

5G is a scam in MY.

Don't bother to pay more for 5G service in MY.

I hardly 4G

I got unlimited 5G data, but phone set prefer 4G je, MY 5G waste battery je
while in TW I on 5G all the time, not even slight delay in download

Patutlah I just changed battery but battery consumption feels like the old battery. I changed setting back to "Prefer LTE" liao.

few months back I can enjoyed 5G indoors around 300Mbps.

now, only 4G.

complaints to telco, they gives their usual scripted response.

>ayam use maxshit
>suddenly need to use some software for work
>urgent
>coworker send software thru wsapp
>1GB size
>jackiechanwtf.png
>data has like 140GB left
>oh well lets try using maxshit 5g hotspot
>download in less than 1 minute
>holywtf.webm
>immediately could use
wow. that alone probably worth the change lmao. but when it works lah. other times just 4g

got 5g also no use la
u browse lowyat se7en also limit the bandwidth anyway, not like u can take advantage of the high speed internet also
the only time 5g is useful is when u need to download tinder when ur gf goes to the toilet and do ur daily swipe and uninstall the app before she comes back from the loo
streaming 4k also just need 25mbps nia, not even 100, dont kid urself with the useability
inb4 if we dont use it then there wont be any advancement in telco data zzzzz its a useless perk to have unless you know how to use it
but it is nice to see my genshin impact update at 150MB/s for 5 secs and play the game instead of waiting 10 mins like a caveman

Malaysia 5G seems sometimes totally no download at all, then works fine.

Have to wait or switch to 4G

Were you having that issue or something else?

I don't care about the speed. 4G fast enough for me. But I was hoping to get better connectivity. Some places really bad signal.

Oh well...

Noob. Get a 2nd phone la.

dont bother. make your phone drain n die early only due to heating bcoz phone keep searching for 5G.

all phone plans now include 5G

yup, full bar, but cannot go in website/download
it keep jumping between 4G and 5G which eats up battery as well
might as well set it to prefer LTE/4G je

Due time to upgrade

It is annoying when I'm done eating and about to pay at the counter, 5G fullbar but nothing actually loads. Then have to switch to 4G it works.

time to upgrade phone?

I just changed the battery le.

full bar on 5G but doesnt move,
switch to 4G then it load.

so weak..

Change phone lo..easy peasy

ayam still using 4G... happy with the speed

Everybody here says 5G sucks. Change for what?

it lacks the support of n28 anchor band.
hopefully when 2nd 5G network rollout, telco will roll out real SA 5G, which dint require anchor band.

5g sucks, but with a better phone it sucks less

TS missed yest. thread ifag user killed his iphone 15 battery very fast because used exclusivey 5g no wifi

I wish malaysia still kept 3g many spotty 4g dead zones in kl

Wow so maybe in the future my phone can use 5G in Malaysia? Nice.

5G in SG quite fast.

But honestly rarely need that much speed, except emergency need download big files using hotspot.

Else go home use fiber download.

My Realme gt neo 3 from China also same problem. But funny part is, some area I did see 5G sign for a while.

God/the universe/destiny decided dis is da wae. DNB no support mai pong and I discovered that 5G sucks in Malaysia. Cukur.

I rather wait until the network becomes better. Being an early adopter sucks. I didn't buy this phone for 5G, I bought it for the flagship processor. Maybe in the future when I finally upgrade, the 5G modems consume less energy.

Hows the coverage. Even With 4g any place with tall buildings like in down town kl is enough to result in many dead zones. Can’t imagine how much worse with 5g.

Very good, only time bad is when in certain basements or some multilevel underground parking with no internal signal boosters, maybe old buildings.

But this is SG, easy to cover entire mainland, even some smaller islands.

Singtel started implementation long ago, all the issues already settled.

5G speed at setapak area quite stable and fast, quite nice to use.

its good because 5G will activate the nano tech embedded inside covid vaccine

80+% coverage, my foot lah!!!

Only ever seen 5G indicator while in toilet cubicle at my office... of all places 🤔. Other times, langsung takde pun. Penipu!!

Same lah, got two mid-range 5G phones and one of them not compatible with Bolehland 5G

lel

why sucks less? yesterdei got /k posted on ipong 15 some more then complain about battery while using 5g

lel

5G in Malaysia is like trying to win 4D Jackpot.

5G is a waste of battery.. only if you are in a packed area like on the MRT then its worth it... and only if you really need the speed eg: watching YT or Downloading then only your phone will switch to 5G and also Malaysia coverage like shit (EVEN IN BUKIT BINTANG AND DAMANSARA). Speed also like shit.. Only occasionally can get 200Mbps.. other time same speed as LTE.

Just save your battery and use LTE.. Sorry to those if got scammed by Maxis

Phone: S24 Ultra
Provider: Maxis
Area: KL/ KV

Note: I'm on 128 Plan which also includes 5G.. Maxis offered to upgrade to the 5G for an extra RM10 (RM139).. but I questioned the CS and they stopped calling me worst thing is CS also cant answer ended up BS..

My question.. If 128 can use 5G why would I want to pay extra RM10? My data per month also cannot reach 60% usage and why pay extra RM10 when gov announces there is no extra charge to use 5G...

Note RM 10X 12 Months = RM 120, RM 120 X 2 Years (Contract) = RM 240.. After that you cant go back to 128 plan.

But it’s weird u ppl said 5g suck. Mine ok ok saja

but I remember few years ago DAGE said 5G will result in technological revolution and DAGE becum numbawan taking over the world because USA still lousy 3G network....sort of like AI hype now....

what you use that speed for? stream 3D prawn in 2140p?

This post has been edited by diffyhelman2: Aug 19 2024, 11:47 PM

confirmed TS bodoh

Hotlink B40 plan also include 5G for free

For me 4G is fast enough to stream YouTube in 1080p.

Thai LTE si damned fast and no latency. Unlike Malaysian 4g 2 bar strength like no signal like that.

Sometimes 4G in Malaysia 4 bars or full bars also cannot connect.

why change battery bro...u want the 5g not the extended battery life bro...

5g is fast bro... ive seen people test get like 1.2gb per second bro.

What I wanna do with 1.2gb per second? My priority is better coverage, too many places cannot get signal, sometimes 4 bars or full bars oso cannot connect. But I see many people in this thread say 5G signal is also bad.

You need to pay for 5G? I thought Fahmi already said telco cannot charge more for 5G. Any existing plan they just include 5G

i felt like 4G sluggish nowadays.
if connected to 5G much much faster.

oh well i always enabled 5G. one day usage ok

Inb4 mcmc say old plan they don't care tell you to migrate latest plan anyway


But as I seen some Digi old plans got 5g by default now

since 4G is enough for me, my main phone is not 5G, i can wait and see what happen for old plan, as saw digi thread some ppl getting 5G

only in MY got "5G Supported Devices"

same with me, i have xperia 5 ii then 5 iii = both can have 5G outside MY but in MY cannot.
change to 5 iv only can get 5G.

even nokia only 2 device supported, and no google phone supported at all (List last updated: 5 August 2024).

wondering pixel 9 later arrived can use or not

digi n celcom same
old plan but got 5g now,
speed over 1gbps too

yes confirmed i got 1 old sim digi prepaid live. previously digi website mentioned need to change plan to use 5G, but now it auto got 5G with same old plan

Snapdragon oso kena weh.

I'll wait for F7 or F8.

5g supported device means those devices must contain b28 LTE band alongside n78 AS WELL AS SIRIM certified

As I remember Xperia 1/5 ii-iii was never officially certified by SIRIM for 5g in Malaysia

my phone most of the time need to toggle betwen 4G and 5G to get connection, wtf

Yes someone else mentioned the LTE anchor band. So that means in Thailand, the LTE anchor band is not required?

I'm still not buying into the 5G hype. I can wait.

Yes. Thailand already adopted SA (standalone) network while we still stuck with NSA (non-standalone) due to DiuNiaBu

This seems to explain the complains in this thread. If you can't get good 4G signal, you can't get 5G.

Seems like no point I upgrade my phone. It won't fix the dead spots problem. Any spot that cannot get 4G won't get 5G either.

This is not entirely correct tho. Currently 4g implemented by telcos still separate from DiuNiaBu NSA implementation because you just need 700mhz 4g anchor band as well as n78 for 5g. While 4g bands are currently separated from 5g because telcos are not allowed DSS to share 4g and 5g in existing licensed spectrum

Nonetheless to be able to make and receive calls, 4g coverage is still the must

I don't understand this part.

this is a problem buying a phone in MY. need to look at telco.

Existing 4g spectrum (B1, B3, B8, B7, B38, B40 etc) are which currently independent awarded to celcom/Digi maxis umobile yes unifi, these are strictly 4g band for now in Malaysia (some may have B8 shared with GSM)


But with DSS means that such spectrum can share with their respective 5g bands (substitute b with n in prefix eg N1, N3, N7, N38, N40) so that a 5g phone can connect with 5g mode of existing 4g bands to save on antenna costs and improve signal reception

If Malaysia also allow such implement I believe more 5g phones can be supported without relying on b28 which may be missing in some earlier China imported model like X3 gt, some Xiaomi china models pre-2024 etc

Haiz.

xperia 1/5 ii and iii got sirim la. and i bought all my xperia from sony MY not import set

Well haha I was researching and see someone said 5g not activated in software due to SIRIM not certified for 5g. Or maybe just merely an excuse. I think is due to software locked lo.
Maybe need research into enabling 5g/volte by modification of software mbn/carrier policy

fuck DNB and Ericsshit

biggest scam ever

give me back my 3G and fuck everything else.
