Try lte discovery. Theres a setting in the app that shows the band in the notifications at the top of the screen.
I don't see that option in the settings

It shows the band number as well as the actual frequencies, under the Signals listing. A very useful program.

Do you really check this on the Mate 9?
Unfortunately our device does not yet support showing the LTE band in the notification panel. Most of the Samsung's did, this is new for me as well.
I confirm that no app can display what LTE band is in use. Tried LTE Discovery and SignalCheck Lite

That may be the case in the US but not here in the UK.
Oh well guys I give up. There must be something on the US version that is blocking it
Or a carrier issue
Any app to show which 4G bands are aggregated in 2CA or 3CA for Huawei Kirin 9xx devices?

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.
Cheers,

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 !
Cheers,

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
Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
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.
I cannot get a definitive answer on this. When I check some sites it shows that this international model SM-G955F has band 12 which is what I need for Volte on T Mobile:
https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/G9Yo5/samsung-sm-g955f-galaxy-s8-plus-td-lte-samsung-dream-2
http://www.phonemore.com/phone/samsung-galaxy-s8-plus-sm-g955f/3234
But on the Amazon site to order the device it does not list Band 12.......
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XYKR7GP
Here is another posting of it and this list no bands....
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-64GB-Unlocked-Phone/dp/B06XZRMCS7/ref=pd_sbs_107_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06Y15D6RP&pd_rd_r=S8FN2DDKWM54QN8JXJ6D&pd_rd_w=5nH47&pd_rd_wg=uVQ72&refRID=S8FN2DDKWM54QN8JXJ6D&th=1
SO, does anyone have this actual model and can actually check the LTE bands available on that model for me? I would greatly appreciate it before I spend that kind of money. I definitely want the Exynos unlocked for ROM, root, etc. If you are nopt sure how to check here is an app I found to check what 4G bands your phone supports...

I do not know if the app I posted will work, but try this method if fails:
If you go in to the service menu by dialling in *#*#7378423#*#* then go to service info then configuration. All the working bands are listed there

The SM-G955F? Has band 12. If you plan on using it on T-Mobile you need to make sure it also supports VOLTE on their network.
I'll be getting mine next week and will try to confirm if it has VOLTE on T-Mobile.

well they usually do if they have band 12. I will be happy when confirmed, either way I will be making the leap, getting rid of the t mobile branded and getting the G955F exynos to have some fun on, lol

According to the FCC listing it supports the following US bands 12, 17, 13, 26, 5, 66, 4, 25, 2, 41 so aside from band 30 it has all the bands needed to work great on AT&T and T-Mobile.
It also has carrier aggregation with US bands with the following combinations:
2+12
4+12
4+17
12+12
66+17
41+41
66+66
and 3 band carrier aggregation at the following bands:
4+12+12
66+12+66
41+41+41
Usually the FCC info is the most accurate!
*#2263#
Will like to know as well
I also looked the options.. this is what i understood..
amazon and other ebay list the International version of ASIA where Band 12 is not listed.. and no Region lock.. you can use any SIM on this..
EU version has Band 12 listed, but it has region lock enabled, so you need EU sim and get it activated by making call for 5 min. then you can put any SIM. but band 30 is not supported (ATT)
i enquired on Clove they listed Band 12 is supported.. whoever have the device can confirm on this.
Need to switch to different bands anyone with working methods?
Wouldn't mind finding a way to turn off some bands muself. AT&T has grown fond of band 30.
I drive truck otr and use a signal booster and 30 and a few others are not covered using it.
ServiceModeRIL can do this. I keep band 13 turned off in my city because Verizon sucks and packs everyone on there so speeds, latency and signal quality are crap.
Who is your carrier? Are you rooted? If rooted then this is easy. If not it's still possible but it can depend on your carrier.

Firstly, if you're unrooted and on Exynos (G955F/G955FD), you're out of luck. The code is *#2683662#, however ever since the July update, all builds newer than that have that code disabled so you can't access ServiceMode through that anymore.
If you're rooted and on Exynos, you can use the 'Phone Info Samsung' app to launch either the 2683662 menu or the 2263 menu using root, both will allow you to select and change specific GSM, WCDMA and LTE bands.
If you're on Snapdragon (955U/955U1), you can try either *#2683662# or *#2263#, one or both should work.
Service mode code works on my Galaxy A50 exynos (Sprint) but nothing shows. It's blank.
I can't root this phone since it's not available for it.
Is there a way to unhide the options in service mode?
Use QuickShortcutMaker from Play Store to change or lock Band on both rooted and unroot samsung phones with Exynos processor.
I have the HTC u11 running the viperu 2.1 rooted by magisk 15.1. I was wondering how to unlock the 2 and 4 bands. I installed network guru but didn't pay for the full features. When I look at the lte bands I only see the 13 band.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try three dots right corner( lock bands.)

Lock bands doesn't show lte. I assume that band would be part of the full version.

Honestly I could not figure it out either. I just hit ok then noticed it worked. Most times uses band 4 sometimes 2 or 13 depending on my location.
You'll want to go to setting, experimental, then LTE append. Put in 2#4#13. Then go back to lock bands and make sure they are selected.

Thanks I now see the other lte bands.
I know you're using Viper, but the latest stock Oreo build fixed the band issue. I now connect to bands 2,4 and 13. Cheers...

Thanks. My LTE voice and broadband service cut out a few days ago.
Locking down bands 2 and 4 didn't restore it, but including band 5 did.
I'm still running marshmellow so I don't expect most people will have this issue.

Network Cell Info Lite app from Google store used to show the current/near bands, but I don't see it anymore. Maybe the 'paid' version does.

LTE Discovery. It might require root. I don't remember. I haven't installed it on this phone, but I used it quite a bit on some other ones.
I think the lte band number on my (no root) OP6 in Network Cell Info Lite app went MIA after Pie upgrade, that's what I read in users comments in Play Store.
