Connecting to 5G

[Aleksander Morgado]

> While scanning you would not see a 5G network, since it is non-standalone, so it only provides a secondary, optional and faster data radio bearer. However SIB2 iirc shall contain a single bit indicating your LTE master node has a 5G node connected to it, allowing you to potentially get the 5G bearer. However I am unsure if this information is exposed in any way in libqmi. On Android e.g. you could see it with a 5G logo at the top without being filled with white color. If it is filled you have an active 5G DRB working. If it is just the contours it means you are in the coverage area potentially, but the bearer is not active.

This is extremely valuable information. If Android is showing that, we
should definitely be able to do the same. Does anyone know what QMI
TLV or message would allow us to know whether we're registered in 4G +
5G NSA? @Eric Caruso @Andrew Lassalle @Carl Yin(殷张成) @Daniele Palmas ?
