How to edit LTE Bands ? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I currently use a Nexus 5 and I am planning to buy a Chinese phone that doesn't have LTE Band 20.
I would like to know if it is possible and how to shut off this band on my Nexus 5 in order to try out how I can live without it in my home and my office.

not possible to add band 20, no proper amp

How to force 3G Only?

On my Samsung Phone's there was usually a USSD code you could put in to force 3G. My phone will often switch to 2g when there is only 0-1 bars of 3G but I want it to stay on 3G. Any ideas on how to do this on a non-rooted U.S. Moto G?
If your phone running 4.4.2 then go to settings->more->mobile networks->network mode
yes

and I think the same or similar way to do that is in 4.3
As far as I can tell, that only changes the preferred network mode. It will still fall back to 2G if there is no 3G. I want 3G only, no switching back and forth.
if *#*#4636#*#* works then go in phone information and Set preferred network type to wcdma only
(this must be done at every boot)

As soon as I type it in it disapears and no menu pops up. I'm in KitKat OTA. That code did used to work on my Samsung though.

Are you rooted? Because if you are install xposed framework and then gravitybox,in gravity box you can add quick tiles,one if those quick tiles is a network mode tile and you can enable 2g,3g or both

But depending on your network,will you not lose signal completely when on 3g mode only?, as networks use 2g as a backup for when 3g signal drops,

Yes I know it will lose network sometimes, I'm ok with that.
I am not rooted. I moved to vanilla android so I wouldn't have to root and change roms. Can I root this phone without reinstalling?

That looks like exactly the menu *#*#4646#*#* does (which isn't working for some reason as a USSD Code.). Perfect, thank you.

No,it would wipe your phone once you unlock your boot loader to begin the root process

Change to WCDMA preferred and go home screen it should save automatically also did you buy the global version or US version? If you buy US Version you'll only get 2G. If you have the Global version check your apn to see if its correct.

you should check the apn first, i have same problem with you (i live in indonesia), then i correct my apn as my operator suggest then it's fine.
if you're sure your apn is correct, then you can force your phone to works in 3g only.

Code:

, install it, open and select wcdma only. then your phone should only works in 3g.

Hi. My friend just bought the global version of Moto g. We live in Iceland, Europe.. Iceland has the same bands that Moto g supports, 850-900-1900-2100... But 3g is not working at all....
APN is correct and we've tried this app you recommended. If we force wcdma nothing happens.
3g is on in settings/more/mobile networks..
He's on 4.4.2
Please some advice Thank you..

while using jio app you should always enable mobile data inorder to receive and make calls.
this is because currently your device has only LTE/4G support as per app detection but not Volte support.

I phone 6 works only with lte without app for 4g am using it technically band width are same so its not logical to conclude volte needed to function for the device
If lte is sufficient then it should work so did it functioned well when it was on emui 4

even you consider technically the functioning of IOS and Android are way different while handling applications.And both has different hardware.
In EMUI you might have Volte support but after update it might have locked Indian LTE band frequencies or app has compatability issues or try to reset apn settings and assign them manually.
By the way are you able to make calls after enabling mobile data?
did you install other region ROM?

A6000 vs A6003 in Canada

Hi , I just bought an a6000 OnePlus 6 here in Canada. I realize it's the Chinese version of the phone. Will I still get all the normal LTE bands using Rogers/Fido? I see that the a6003 has 3 extra bands. Will I need those if I'm on Rogers/Fido?
Thanks

You need to check the band list supported by your operator and then cross verify with the devices band list.

5G option...

Just received my X2 Pro but to my surprise the 5G option in the settings menu wasn't there. When I had the Chinese version it was available out the box, but now I have the Global and it's not there. It only has, 2G, 2G or 3G, or the 2G, 3G or 4G option. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. Thanks guys.

I'm living in Thailand and using the Find X2 Pro
It's normal
China uses N41 as their main 5G Freq and so as Thailand.
That's why Chinese version has 5G option when you use TRUE, but I'm not sure about AIS.
but other countries are not. So, the N41 freq configuration in the global firmware is not available. Also, if you use AIS and you're sure that your phone supports N41 in both software and hardware, you have to have 5G configuration on your sim card first. That means you have to insert your sim card to the phone that is 5G enabled in order to enable 5G profile in your sim. However, you will still not be able to use 5G on CPH2025 because its firmware is not N41 enabled
Thanks, I'll continue to look into it. Great, information didn't realize all this.
