adb: get 5G-NR connection status
Raw
adb-5gnr-status.md

I need to use ADB and check if the phone is currently on 5GNR or not. gsm.network.type doesn't indicate if 5G-NSA bearers are active. No matter if LTE, LTE+ or 5G indicators are shown, the network type remains the same:

OnePlus8:/ # getprop gsm.network.type                                                                                     
LTE,Unknown

Workaround:

logcat /data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db | grep -i update5GIcon

LTE: iconType = 0 5GNR: iconType = 1
