D821 with USA band - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i've got a strange thing , i bought an D821 in the netherlands and it's showing USB Band in the radioband section , shouldn't this be : EUROPEAN Band ?
I've got troubles with service dropping , that's why i asked
Thx for helping
:good:

I don't know what you mean USA band. How are you checking this?
All baseband software is interchangeable between the 2 models. It may just be the baseband you're using isn't good for you.

This gives the radioband you're using

Won't work on mine. Too custom

Please Help: No Signal Anymore

I recently flashed paranoid android remix rom and I suddenly lost all of my signal and it will not come back. It keeps saying searching for signal. I looked in the settings and there is celluar strength. I tried flashing the radio and changing ROMs but it didn't help. I dont have access to a computer to flash the factory image. Any other ideas? I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

LTE only?

Has anybody been able to do LTE only? I I have weak LTE where I am but it still is faster than hspa here but it keeps defaulting to slower speeds.
Your phone decides when to switch over to 3G or lte. Depending on the connection.
I think he's referring on how to do it through the service menu. On the Nexus 5 it's *#*#4636#*#* not sure about Samsung phones.
*#2263# Choose LTE all bands. Been using it on my note 4.
Neither of these short codes do anything on the S6. Does anyone know a working one?
*#2263# works for me

Hi All,
My first post here, nice to meet you all. Sorry for digging this thread up.
Galaxy S6/S6Edge users, can you please let me know on what firmware (Baseband version), dialler code *#2263# works for you?

A lot of these codes are not working on the newest baseband, looks like Samsung restricted them. They are only working if you download the PhoneInfo app and launch the code with SuperUser (root).

If you root and flash XtreStoLite rom there is a LTE only mode.
Hi,
I'm on the latest Xtrestolite v2.3 and I do not have the LTE only options in the settings (i only have 2G only, 3G only, 2G/3G and LTE/3G/2G), does it work for you ?
The *#2263# isn't working either.
EDIT : I found out how to fix the bug : if you are using your mobile in Frech you have to switch to another language to make the LTE only option appear.
I'm on 2.3 and I have that option, in mobile networks

Right, thanks davebugyi, you are right and I am aware of that. That is why I was wondering what Baseband version PunishedSnake and Djamog had in mind. I would like to know which commercial firmware exactly includes *#2263# features working, so I can downgrade/upgrade mine, on SM-G920F.

This works great, thank you for the answer.
Do you know any other network forcing related features and how to enable them? Menu *#2263# I am trying to access, similar to *#0011# (and Q0) in previous models, includes Band locking and probably more.
Thanks,

According to the FCC documents the phone supports bands 2, 4, 5, 25, 26 and 41. So it is not compatible.
Have you managed to get phone calls and 3g stable? I'm planning on buying one to use it overseas, but I want to know if i'll be really able to unlock it

looking for LGL23
This don't work on H955 euroean model. I can access hidden menu, but when I click on bands 2,4,17 it shows FAILED and phone still does not connect with LTE on AT&T in US.
Has anyone had any luck enabling band 12 on the AT&T version? It fails for me every time.

The only other difference would be with the modem/radio used for H950 and H950PR builds. 212.73.1 is also the baseband for that ROM?

Update to 6.0 and keep unlock???

Have any of you with a Sprint Note 5 been able to update to Android 6.0 and keep your unlock? I got my phone unlocked today by onlineunlocks and im using it with cricket and dont want to update if im going to lose my unlock and possibly not be able to get it unlocked again.
Updating to 6.0 should have nothing to do with sim unlocking. Rooting yes. You should be fine.

I'm pretty sure you will lose lock because of the way it formats the phone partitions.
It really depends on how it was unlocked...... I'm unlocked and updated everything went well. I'm unlocked and on AT&T with LTE.

How was your phone unlocked? And how did you get lte? Guessing you got your msl?
I got my phone unlocked from here: thewireless proffessional.com. Yes I have lte.
How about gsm unlock done for sprint note 5 using UICC method?
Will it remain unlocked?

You need to make sure that the bands are compatible. It sounds like they are not.

I went ahead and did that for you, no LTE compatibility unfortunately. No rom will enable it unfortunately since your carrier is incompatible.
