Seems the code only works on some specific models, US carriers phones are heavily customized and leads to disabling other default service codes of samsung. I hope that other carrier works with the code. :good:
Is this going to make our internet speed ?

Its sucks! why samsung need to do this? I understand some countries doesn't support such advance technologies such LTE CAT16 / 256QAM / 4x4mimo, they should enable those technologies on the phone out of the box.. this will hurt people who bought the device for such spec and travel abroad, making their device handicapped especially using it on Australia(Telstra) or US(TMobile)
And also I doubt, that the device is CAT16 capable because of the given figures above, the phone is up to CAT10 only.. not only with the CAT issues, take note device is up to 3CA only, instead of support of up to 5CA

Why did you end the thread? I'm very interested in exploring what my phone has to offer since it's from Singapore

It’s been disabled, the service mode I’m talking about, unless you’re on Android 7.0 "Nougat” then you can get into service mode ? Otherwise you can thank Samsung for locking us out.
i think that's why he has deleted his original post.
UPDATE!!
Unless your rooted ? Then you can access the menu, but you will need to search on XDA and Google on how to get into service mode. if you got root you can use this app from google play store to access the service mode.

Hi all
I do remember that now Samsung have all carrier's bloatware installed on phone.
user can change carrier bloatware files on the phone by dial certain codes.
for example, I can type some code to change a ATT phone to us cell, or Rogers to Bell.
but I can't find any infor on this. Any one can give me a key word hint or a link ? THX
found answer myself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34524458&postcount=24
So has anyone tried the dialer code *#272*IMEI# on their AT&T S4 to see if it works. And if it works, could someone please post a screen shot of the results here? I would try it, but I don't have one (...yet). Of course you take the risk if it blows your phone up.
I did
I change i337m from Bell to Fido, then from Fido to bell again
I confirm this works

Could you get a screenshot of the *#272*IMEI# menu screen and post it here? I would like to see what other carrier options are available with the i337m? And, could someone do the same with the AT&T i337 version?
Thanks.
this is how it looks

For those of you wanting to exploit your Data plan for WiFi, Tether, Bluetooth, this app is Confirmed working for the S5 with 4.4.2 with NO ROOT NEEDED.
1. Download the app from the Play Store for FREE.
2. Buy the Key for it ($7.95).
3. Turn on the app, make sure the Key is recognized.
4. Turn on the WiFi.
5. ONE TIME PASSWORD set-up, (unless you delete permissions after each use for easy unlock screen).
6. Then within 30 seconds, you must click over to the Integrated WiFi/Tether area of 'Other networks' and click the WiFi there to turn it on.
App, Key, Recognize, WiFi, 1 time PW, 30 sec integrated WiFi enable. Done.
If you want to change the name and security of the WiFi Hot-spot you will be creating, do so before you activate, otherwise you must restart program and process.
Quick demo and proof that it does work on the Galaxy S5
Just want to warn/give a heads up to anyone who downloads to use this, you give yourself up permission to 3rd parties to your email, internet, apps, and other things on your phone. You actually get a pop up telling you that..not really worth that risk in my book for something I only used once in a blue moon on my S4

@Dennisg34, have you seen the number of Installed 3rd party Certs that are on this phone from the Box?
He's right, if you are permission paranoid, be wary. If you want to have WiFi/Tether on your phone without Root (which I have been using this app for years with no issue) then you are safe to buy/use this app...

I don't know wtf happened to that response, but yes it does work on the newest ota. Using it now
Hello,
Thread title says it all.
Can someone be so kind to make a list of all the note edge variants and highlight the technical differences / regions / carrier affinity (like Snapdragon or Qualcomm). As far as I know from various sources following variants exist
SM-N915FY for Europe
SM-N915A for AT&T
SM-N915T for T-Mobile
SM-N915K/SM-N915L/SM-N915S for Korea
SM-N915G for Singapore, Australia, Spain
SM-N915D for Japan
Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5433 (South Korea version)
Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 (Global version)
1. Is it true that , there are no custom ROMs and root for Snapdragon based variants.
2. Which variants are based on Snapdragon / which on Exynos
3. Which one is usually called the global variant.
4. Is it true mods and custom ROMs are now variant locked and cannot be used interchangeably on all the variants.
I am asking because I have a variety of devices available in my market in new and used condition, some of which are new and some imported from other countries and regions.
So just wanna make sure I buy the correct one instead of regretting afterwards.
Thank for reading and your reply.
1+ Me too SM-N915FY for Europe ?? ATT LTE?
I have similar question - will SM-N915FY for Europe work on ATT LTE - the whole bands thing I have looked at has not helped - I do not seem to understand what bands - LTE are essential. Does anyone know?
Thanks.
If you have physical access to all these different variants then the best way is to type #*2263# in the dialer.
That will give you service mode info as following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then you can tap on each band and you'll have the following:
Asterisk means it's enabled (you can disable if you wish)
Ps. These screens are from my SM-N915G
Hope this helps...

Hi,
I have been investigating about the features of this phone. I bought it in US and now I have it in Mexico. I use the Mobile Hotspot to work in a table and in another cellphone, but I found that the SM-G925P only connects with one device at the same time. When I disconnect the first device then the second device connects. I would like to make the connection at least to two devices. I used to use a Moto X and it worked fine...
What I have done:
-I rooted the device
-modify the AP settings in AP type to default,dun
-I use the idoneapps and set the field of Force wifi_ap max users in 10
Not sure what else to do. Is there any idea that you can give me?
Thank you!!!

Omar,
I have the same problem with Samsung S 8+ SM G955u
T-Mobile variant here, no issues.
Same exact problem.
I got SM-G955U and I have same exact problem.. driving me nuts
Perhaps pay for a plan that includes Mobile Hotspot/Tethering...
Cheers
TRJB
same problem with me .. there are no options in connections menu .... i want to use hotspot and tethering ... but there is no option in g955u ... how can it be fixed ?? should i installed unbranded offical samsung oreo firmware ? would it fix it ?
Hidden menu hotspot
The same problem for me. If anyone finds a solution, please share it.
In my case I am using PDANet + as a workarround. The best would be use the native option of Hotspot.
