Bug ID: 454120
Summary: Android app doesn't export
TelephonyDisplayInfo#OVERRIDE_NETWORK_TYPE, needed for
5G detection
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Android 11.x
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: ferd...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Apparently, detecting 5G network service[1] is more difficult than previous
levels. Many 5G devices will report their network connection as
TelephonyManager#NETWORK_TYPE_LTE. The actual state of 5G connectivity is only
accessible by using the new (Android 11+) TelephonyDisplayInfo[2] API, where an
"override" network type can be retrieved for display use.

Without access to that additional data, many US devices which provide 5G
service via enhanced LTE will be reported as having only 4G connectivity.
