Hey everyone. Just picked up my one today and the new aws network is rolling out in my area and I'm trying to figure out which band the phone is connected to. I could dial *#0011# on my s4 and it would tell me band 13 or 4. Anyone figured it out?

id like to know too. i watch my band on my note 3 same way as your s4 and comes in handy
Nobody knows?

I've been doing some research and I've only come across the stuff for the Note3 and S4 you mentioned....and IOS has a hidden field test menu that also tells the band you're on.
I'm definitely on Band 4 in Newark NJ....DNA gets 1-1.5 down and 1-2 up M8 gets 20 down 7-15 up
Though my DNA gets better reception -94 to -96 than my M8 -101 to -104

only 20 down on band 4? you sure? band 4 should be like 50-80 down

Yeah if I was the only human being in Newark! considering the DNA is choked at 1 meg down I'm pretty positive my M8 has to be on band 4.
Even with that I'm sure there's a ton of note 3 and s4's on it as well.
##33284# mine says band 1. Don't know if it's the right thing or not

Anyone figured out a way to do this? I've got a DNA, probably going to be the same. AWS just rolled out here.
So does anyone know the difference between these two models? I live in the US using straight talk on AT&T's network. From what I can tell, they both should work, but I am not sure if there is any difference I should be aware of before buying the phone.

I have the G920i that I'm using on cricket (cricket uses att bands) and it works perfectly with LTE. I'm not sure about the 920F but I know that the f is the global unlocked version whereas the I is also unlocked but for selected regions.

How does it work in areas where LTE is not available, i.e. on 3G and HSPA networks? I live in an area where half my day is spent on the fringe of LTE service and the other half in.

Well just like US carrier phones, you'll get LTE signal when you get LTE signal and you'll fall to HSPA+ or 3g when that is the signal you get.

I'm asking more along the lines of can the phone receive the 3G bands in the area? I was wondering if the phone actually could receive what was being broadcast.

My G920I does on AT&T. I've seen it go all the way down to EDGE because I have really bad signal at my house.
I can also confirm that the 920i works fine on AT&T. I have seen it go from Edge to LTE and everything in between.
Spoke with a Samsung representative a little bit ago. This is what he said : Vruyk:*I see that the Note 5 only has the 4G LTE.
Vruyk:*It do not have LTE Advanced: 2+4. 4+12, 2+12, 4+4 (MR:2+4+12, 4+4+12) bands.
Only the S6+Edge has True Spark LTE
Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk
No SPARK means Note5 can you simultaneous voice and 4G LTE data. SPARK devices can only voice voice or data. (unless on WiFi)
True spark lte is having these advanced bands, the spark lte boot animation, the sun spinning icon, and just because you are on band 41 which is the main band for Spark does not mean you are on TRUE spark lte, you are on 4g lte because thats all this device supports, the radio isnt as up to par as the s6+ Edge is
SPARK LTE is much faster than 4g LTE "Spark"
The note 5 does have Spark..... alot of areas don't have it yet..... they have it when the phone boots up!!!
Thanks,
Chaz187
One thing I know for sure is that the note 5 has a cat 6 lte radio which is capable of 300/50Mbps the edge plus has a cat 9 capable of 600/150Mbps. But even spark is not capable of reaching those speeds yet.
I had the note 4 and always had the spark icon spinning. Driving in the same locations today, only saw LTE.

Some devices dont have the spark boot animation and the way I found to fix is flash stock tar via odin, check the following: f reset time, clear efs, nandroid clear all, NAF sprint and let it update and reboot, voila you have sprint lte spark boot still no sun in status bar though

You cannot use VoLTE. It will cut your data off until you are done with your phone call. Also, my tutorial is up if you are missing sprint spark boot animation and can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-note5/general/tutorial-enable-true-spark-lte-missing-t3191444
I'm connected to spark. The app lte discovery shows which lte you are connected to
The phone still has spark capabilities, the icon is just different on the phones now.
There is spark believe me. Samsung updated the s6 with same icons and theme as this phone.

Oh yeah this is spark
Spark is just a marketing name. You will see the results by doing ##33284# and going into the lte engineering. You will see if you are on Band 25,26,41. And if your lucky, band 41 with a primary and secondary download band. That means carrier aggregation. The first glimpse of lte advance. Spark was just a name to show use of all 3 bands without carrier aggregation. 2x20 should be called Big Spark. And 3x20 in the future will be called Explosion

I'm on band 41 and only see 39991 for ul and dl channel. the second dl channel is blank. So dies that mean I don't even have regular spark?
No. your sparking. Anything Sprint LTE is spark. Just marketing jargon for Band 25/26/41. When you see the 2nd DL carrier, that means you are on a tower with 2x20 carrier aggregation. IF the tower is empty, you could see 150 dowloads. I have been on aggregation towers with 2 different phones hitting 130mbs. If you have LTE, you have Spark. I would say LTE is Spark, then band 41 is Super Spark. Then Band 41 with CA is SUPER DUPER SPARK. And 3G is bad.

This won't exist on ANY Sprint phone until Sprint announces anything about VoLTE, which they haven't. So we sit and wait and not check FB while on phone calls.
As others have said, this phone is capable of full 2x Carrier Aggregation and is fully RRPP compliant. It's a beast of a phone so far and the RF is equivalent to my S5. It holds on to B41 better as well.

Has anyone gotten an Exynos S7 to work in the US with any of our carriers?
I'm so desperate for a rooted S7 Edge that I'm ready to change carriers if I have to. :crying:
It probably will work but it won't work well, especially with T-Mobile (no band 12 or VoLTE). Just wait m8
I have been using g930s variant along with g930f kernel + roms in the us tmobile. I live in DC and LTE has been just fine. Maybe i am missing a band but whatever

I'm using the Exynos S7 on cricket and it works flawlessly. Performance is stellar, battery life is incredible and I get great LTE coverage everywhere.

How can you confirm that? I got the Exynos international version, with T-Mobile SIM card. I have AIDA64 but not sure where to look to confirm or deny that the LTE Band 12 is not there.

T-Mobile has to certify and allow the phone to work on band 12 or else it won't be able to make 911 calls. They've verified the US S7 but I don't think they verified the international version.
Hello there,
Well, I can confirm that LTE Discovery App shows the LTE Band 12 working with T-Mobile. I have walked around the building where I work, and it switches back and forth from Band 4 to Band 12.
Hope this helps someone asking if the Samsung Galaxy Exynos International Version SM-G930F works with T-Mobile LTE Band 12 !

it's frustrating that others have said recently that band 12 is NOT supported. what about wifi calling?
Hi there !
I belive that WIFI calling and the reduced Internet speed while on a phone call, are the two things that are different on the Exynos. Tell me how to check and make sure WiFi doea not work and I will try for you. I have tested the second one, and indeed the Internet speed is way reduced when talking on phone. Depending where you are, it is either H+ or 3G.
Hope that helps !

i believe there should be a setting for wifi calling within the "more connection settings". if it's not showing within the settings, then it's not supported.
as for band 12, how reliable is that app you used? a lot of people have mentioned that band 12 is not supported on the exynos model, so i'm really curious how yours has it.
thanks!
OK, there is no WiFi calling setting under there.
As for how reliable the App is, I have no idea, sorry. I searched and found it was mentioned in XDA for checking this kind of settings/capabilities. I will take a screen capture of it once I am in a building and it is showing the band used. My understanding is that LTE Band 12 is particularly good and improves signal inside buildings.

Well i have Canadian Exynos Verison of S7, while roaming in US i had full LTE coverage of both AT&T and T-Mobile and with really good speeds

The Internattional version does support band 12. and it works, however for VoLTE you have to find a firmware that has it which is hard. the Czech t-mobile firmware has VoLTE but no WiFi calling
The "F" international version also has Band 17 for AT&T
why do people who DON'T have the phone act like they know what they are talking about.
Works fine on T-Mo, and ATT. you just miss out on some of the bands, and also carrier features like VoLTE.
my 930F works fine on Tmo. and it'll work fine on ATT as well.
Is there anyway to determine which LTE band the phone is connected? I checked LTE Discovery app, but seems like it is not able to detect. I was able to use this app on my tmo-us LG g4. I am on tmo-us and sometimes I wonder whether I am on band 4 or 12.
