What's new in v1.3.9

📶 5G diagnostics now match how Russian 5G actually works

Version 1.3.8 was built on a wrong assumption: that 5G in Russia runs only in SA mode on band n79. The commercial networks launched on 11 September 2026 run as NSA. 5G is added on top of an LTE connection, on bands n1, n7 and n40, plus separate n79 zones. Because of that, 1.3.8 got two things wrong:

  • It reported carrier settings that allow only NSA as the thing blocking 5G. They are not: NSA is exactly the mode these networks need, and it is what Pixel already ships for most carriers. That check now passes when NSA is allowed. It fails only when NSA is off, and its button, now Enable 5G (NSA + SA), turns both modes on.
  • It could never show a 5G NSA connection. It read the wrong one of the two LTE registrations Android keeps, and that one always says "no 5G". It now reads the right one.

🗼 New check: does this cell offer 5G?

In NSA, 5G can only be added on LTE cells the operator has linked to a 5G cell. A new check, This cell offers 5G, reads what the network reports about the LTE cell the phone is on right now:

  • The cell can add 5G and the network allows it for this SIM. 5G should appear while data is flowing.
  • The operator has 5G, but not on this cell. Nothing on the phone can change that; you need to be in the operator's 5G coverage.
  • The cell offers 5G, but the network does not allow it for this SIM. This is set by the operator, usually through the tariff.

This check also tells a network problem apart from a phone problem. Suppose the cell offers 5G, the network allows it, a download is running, and 5G still never appears while other phones nearby get it. Then the Pixel's modem is not using 5G on this network. That is decided by a carrier profile inside the modem firmware. No carrier-config app can reach it, this one included; changing it needs root. The screen now says this plainly instead of blaming the network.

✏️ Wording

  • The verdict no longer says "there is no 5G cell here" when every setting passes. It points you to the network checks, which now show what is actually happening.

Requirements: Shizuku ≥ 13 with Wireless Debugging enabled. No root required. 5G diagnostics need Android 12 or newer.
Signed with the same key as previous releases, so it installs as an update.
Verified on Pixel 10 Pro XL, Android 17 (CP3A.260905.009).
