Android S13

Iwas looking forward to the  S13  update so I could see if I was on ultra wide band. 

Does the latet update to Android S13 detect when the (Verizon) cell site is working with  5G ultra-wideband? I live in an area where UW is working,  and I haven't seen the indicator yet.

Also, on S12, the 4G or 5G indicator always displayed when WiFi was turned on. Now the indicator displays the LTE signal only when WiFi is turned OFF..

Thanks!

Hi, DK36. Glad to see your interest in our newest services and I'm happy to help. I can confirm that Android 13 supports UWB. Just to double check, are you on a 5G UWB compatible plan?

Yes, I am on the 5G Play More plan.  I presume the towers aren't set up for the  Ultra Wide band yet.  The only other thing I can think of is that i may  need a tower close to my proximity that is  Broadcasting  UWB. , ..or,Verizon isn't ready in my area yet

Hello. Let's check the area for the coverage you have, then we can better determine what your device should be set at. *Rhonda

Hello,

I live in the Harrisburg PA area. I've recently noticed getting 5G indications in most areas, but nothing indicating 5G WB.

Go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options or Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Data Options. If you see this screen, your device has 5G activated. If you don't see this screen, contact your carrier to confirm that your plan supports 5G. You should see either 5G (Nationwide), 5G UW (Ultra Wideband).

My S20 FE  phone doesn't have   Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options or Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Data Options.   .

This is the screenshot,  it shows 5G.  Is this what I'm supposed to see?
