Hi,
New user of S7 G930FD Dual SIM.
Old user of S4 i9505.
When using S4, I can change network mode. In other words, I force my S4 to connect to 4G/LTE only or LTE/WCDMA ONLY (it won't dropped to 2G), by using Samsung secret code *#2263#
But seems on S7, I can't force it using the same Samsung secret code even though the code is still there and accessible.
Somehow Samsung always force it to Automatic.
Any idea on to force S7 to force to 4G/LTE ONLY?
My 4G coverage in my country is good enough, I don't mind whereby I go to a location where there's no 4G Coverage at all.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi all,
I'm on UK's 3 (Three) network and just took an upgrade to S6. Since I'm going to get new Nexus5 I gave the phone to my wife since 3 gives new S6 unlocked my wife is with Vodafone.
The problem is Vodafone sucks in my area and in certain places in my home there is no or very poor network connection. With her previous S5 we selected to use 2G only and she gets full signal.
The problem with S6 you can not chose 2G mode there is no such option as on S5 was. I only get these:
LTE/WCDMA/GSM
(auto connect)
WCDMA/GSM
(auto connect)
WCDMA only
There is no GSM only option as it was on S5. And since WCDMA/GSM is auto connect it prioritizes 3G which is very poor.
About the phone:
All stock from 3 (Three UK) used with Vodafone SIM.
Model: SM-G920F
Android: 5.1.1
Baseband: G920FXXU2BOGE
Kernel: 3.10.61-5012324
Build: LMY47X.G920FXXU2BOG8
Is there any way to force 2G only mode without rooting the phone or changing the ROM?
I tried Telinfo app it doesn't launch giving the error message: Your device does not have the required native Google API. (S) And this app works no problem on my Nexus5 with 5.1.1
When I try to input *#*#4636#*#* in dallier nothing happens.
Please Help!
Thank You
I read somewhere here that Nova launcher has a widget to select GSM only. Not tried it myself as I'm also with 3 UK and have good reception. Hope this helps

I have been trying to get my LTE working on my Samsung S8+ SM-G955FD with Freedom mobile. I have updated the CSC to XAC and GLW from the development forums and the phone will not connect to LTE at all. However flashing it to tmobiles CSC I was able to get LTE as it uses the same band 66. I initially got LTE by selecting the network operator "Home" once I lose connection from LTE to 4G it will not automatically reconnect back to LTE unless I select the network operator again. Any suggestions on fixing this?
Same issue with Reliance JIO (India) using VO LTE. Seems the phone does not support it either (the 6GB Ram Model)
up!
my 3g does work but lte not always!
I found this article around flashing csc, it seems like it's proven to work when they are the same model eg both g950w.
Keywords from the article since I'm too new a member to link directly. oneplus-5-other-unlocked-band-66-devices-may-be-incompatible-freedom

I would like to ask if you rooted your phone and changed the CSC as per instructions given in the Droidview website?
If you did, and the results were not satisfactory, then you would have tripped Knox, but gained little.
I am in the same situation, and am considering rooting the phone to try the method in Droidview.
Thanks.
I got s8+ from freedom and trust me I absolutely hate their reception. On a drive home or from I get interruptions of voice call for 5+min (highway drive) in some areas. Anywhere in US call reception is hit or miss. In Canada isnt always great other. Now for LTE well, it ok if you catch LTE signal. Allot of the times im on 4g. Speed are very slow. If im lucky I get LTE. So i don't know whether its the service or the phone but im not happy. I'll pay of this phone and move back to FIDO or on US network. Freedom is garbage to me. Im all over the city, country and north america - freedom isnt great for me. Fido was excellent but i didnt get any credit on the phones, in US fido rates are very high.
Hi everyone,
I have an S8+ I bought abroad, when I use my Rogers sim I get 4G not LTE. However when I use the sim on my Priv, I get LTE. I am using the Rogers APN.
Is there anything I can try?
Thanks
What country code/model is the phone? It's just an icon - whether you see 4G or LTE icon all depends on the CSC the device came preset with.
The only potential issue is with the European models (G95XF / G95XFD) lacking band 30, which some carriers (like AT&T) use for Enhanced LTE. While Enhanced LTE does work, it doesn't support the full speed that comes with band 30.
Do a speed test. If your S8 and Priv report the same speed, don't think about it too much.
The phone I bought from Saudi Arabia. Model is SM-G955F.
I do get similar speeds.
Can I change the preset without rooting the phone?
Thanks again
Usually f models shows 4g icon rather than the LTE icon.....so you are perfectly fine
Signal icons are usually csc dependant... you can see what csc is on the phone and search online to see which csc has the icons

Mm, yeah.. I know it's some cscfeature, just can't figure out which one. When using BTU, it shows up as 4G, but switching over to a XAA csc changes it to LTE. Speeds are the same.

Middle Eastern phones like the one you bought don't show 'LTE', they show 4G in the status bar, but to confirm you can open the dialer and dial *#0011# and see LTE-BASIC Info, like what LTE Band your phone is using and other detailed information about the cellular connection.

verify that you are in a location that gets a good signal and that it says you get 4g lte data. then goto connection settings>mobile networks and tap on network mode and choose the option in the screenshot. if it doesnt change do a factory reset. if that fails either get the stock rom from sammobile and flash it with odin or call samsung for a replacement. also verify that theres no upgrades or problems in your area by calling customer care and that your house doesnt limit your signal. my house sometimes limits mine due to it being metal all around. in that case putting your phone in a window fixes it. if you want to avoid that contact tmobile to get a signal booster for your house. update: in the *#2263# menu make sure to choose reset on both LTE and WCDMA in disable band.

This phone doesn't have certain bands asia uses. you may need to buy the sm-j327u (samsungs unlocked version of this phone that can work on cdma and gsm carriers.) the sm-j327t1 was designed for the united states.
to fix this problem install (Force Lte Only).apk from play store go to phone information>Network mode>Select WCDMA ONLY!
it will fix the problem as well as you'll have all option enable i the network mode!

Need some help here, still stuck on 2G. Though I don't have a T-mobile sim card, the device is said to be unlocked (by @ashyx ), so I want to use my sim card. So what am I supposed to do (I've tried everything listed here so far, no luck)?

Have you checked which bands your network supports against the bands your device supports?
You may have to open the network settings and modify the bands if possible.
Also which firmware are you running, you may need to flash the modem from the orange firmware?
