U are quite right. Based on my understanding, M1 and CL(based on M1 infrastructure) both using B3 & B7 and these 2 telcos will be using B3+B7 to achieve CA. Hence for the device to see "+", it must support CA @ B3+B7 which mipad doesn't. If not, we will see 4G+ on both M1 and CL. ST supports B3, B7 and B8, not sure about the combination but it seems one of the combinations supports mipad CA bands and hence on ST sim card, I can see 4G+.

I dun have SH sim so I can't comment. But SH is running on B3, B7 and B41 for their LTE band. SH has one more band compared to M1.

Ah I see... thanks... seems to make sense... so now is to find out what are the LTE band combos that the MiPad 4 supports so that we know if we get 4G+ locally... right now B3+7 isn't supported based on user feedback here... whereas some combination of B3+8 or B7+8 works for Singtel (provided Singtel aggregates all their LTE bands)... and it's not clear how Starhub's LTE bands are aggregated anyway... could be B7+41 or B3+41... if it's also B3+7 then no 4G+ support for this Mi Pad...

Singtel aggregates all their bands if I read the above article correctly... probably why their network supports the Mi Pad 4 at 4G+ speeds...
I will try out the ST sim card when I'm free. Apparently I'm using an app called netmonster which when I'm connecting On wifi, I can see that CL is connecting on B3+B7 but whenever I disconnect the wifi n connect via Sim, the CA will be dropped to only B3 or B7. Seems Xiaomi disabled it?

Sorry I don't get you... if you're on wifi, why would the connection should B3+B7?

Thanks for checking the Singtel SIM...

Not sure if it is the app software bug. But I can see that it can detect B3 and B7 signal...
Don't have time to try the ST sim card yet...

I just bought it .. since daily deal.

Does it functions normally? eg. since there's an option to pre-install Google Play Store, it works?

What's the difference between their pre-installed Play Store vs self breaking it?

Same factory CN rom. Just that the seller installs for u instead of u installing yourself.

Unless the seller flashes fake rom which i will strongly against it.

So your play store works perfectly fine? cos read from their reviews that several buyers had problem running play store, such as server busy...

Seems like ST can get 4G+ is cos of CA B3 + B8.
