LTE only? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Some models esp operator locked, disabled this feature.

I see. I'm running the H3G firmware. I'll happily flash a different operator firmware, any idea which one works?

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?
Cheers,

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,

D821 with USA band

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.

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

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.

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?

Edit LTE bands?

I have Samsung Galaxy S6 edge SM-G925P (Sprint verizon) it's already unlocked for GSM.
Now, I want to use LTE - but the model isn't support Band 3 and 7. Can I make them available? How?
You need to root or get your msl code from sprint. From there you have a few more possibilities.
I am rooted + have msl code. guide me please.
Enter ##data# on your keypad. Hit edit and enter msl. There are menus for LTE.

yes, but I can't see band 3 + band 7 in there.

[HELP] Converting OP 7 Pro 5G Sprint to International Variant

I've a OP 7 Pro Sprint Variant, Model: GM1925. When I was in stock ROM, the latest build was 10.0.7.GM25CC. Few weeks earlier, I followed the guide here and was able to successfully convert it to EU firmware. The reason behind this conversion is to get the latest OOS updates asap. But it seems the updates for 5G phones are lagging far behind. My phone is running on 10.0.11.GM27BA currently.
Further, I tried to convert my phone to International variant by following the guide here but failed. More specifically, it stopped after 'Param preload'.
Now, I badly want to convert it to International variant. I don't mind if losing 5G would enable dual sim functionality on my phone.
Is there any way?

Late on the replies but converting to international is impossible due to different partitions. Dual sim WILL NEVER WORK because we don't have the config files for dsds on the X50 modem. Because of the 5G, updates are behind and will be for basically the phone's EOL. Custom roms are a grey area as modem needs porting and rotation needs fixing, and Android 11 custom roms won't work (due to no modem functionality)

Help! Cannot turn on mobile data while calling and messaging still working!

This is regarding the Snapdragon Note 20 Ultra, USA version.
I got a Note 20 Ultra Verizone edition where I flashed an unlocked U1 firmware. I suppose the required software information can be seen from this screenshot:

}
The issue now is, as I have put an Indian Operator (Airtel) SIM in the mobile, calling and messaging facilities are working flawlessly, but I cannot turn on mobile data. The WiFi works fine, but no mobile data. The SIM Information looks like this:
Moreover, whenever I try to open the SIM Manager, these four dots keeps loading and the screen just stays there:
I haven't taken a screenshot, but in the next screen the Data Roaming Option cannot be turned on also, I was just looking and turning on/off here and there.....
This is picture of the drop down menu, I suppose it won't be of any help, still posting:
Please let me know if there is any way to solve it....... Also let me know if any other info is required, as I believe I might have missed posting something.....Thanks!
One more thing, I downloaded the firmware from this link:
Download Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G SM-N986U1 (XAS) N986U1UES4HWD7 in Samfw - Samsung firmware download

Before, I flashed this firmware, my software info was like this:
And, now after flashing the U1 it is like this:
I see the VZW (Verizone, right?) is still showing in the Service Provider Software info..... Have I f it up somewhere during the flashing? Should the VZW still be there after flashing the U1 version?

Yes, it is Verizon and it is not supposed to be there. You should see INS for Indian firmware/ SIM.

The problem is they released the Exynos version in India! I suppose I cannot flash Exynos version on Snapdragon, right? Also, the Indian rom had dual sim while this one is i physical SIM+ E-Sim.
Ok, little update.... I flashed the phone again with a VZW Android 13 firmware, and now the mobile data with my Airtel SIM is working flawlessly, even with 5G!!! But guess, as I'm not with a VZW SIM, the set will not receive any update now!
