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
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...

Surprise! I just saw LTE Band 5 for the very first time today.
Didn't last long before going to #4.

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.

I am leaving the post paid cell service and going prepaid.
I since majority if prepaid US prepaid carriers are Sprint, T-Mobile and some AT&T. I want a GS 7 that will support all three carriers with as much bands possible.
Any suggestions for carrier versions or does the Sprint version support (once unlocked) support AT&T and T-Mobile.
There's only 1 model variant in the US now - they all have the same band support - it all depends on firmware as to what bands are active.
But one thing to consider is that while a Verizon/Sprint phone may work on Tmobile/AT&T the same might not be the case the other way around because the AT&T/Tmo phone will probably have the bands disabled in the FW
Just to show this is my tmobile S7, wcdma bands that are enabled - so seems it would support Verizon/Sprint on bands 800/850/1900/2100 -- 2100 is a band not listed on Phonescoop FYI

Guess we'll have to wait until a Sprint/Verizon person gets their phones and get into the service menu to see what it looks like
Wasn't sure if they were the same thing (left Sprint well over a decade ago for GSM and never looked back lol)
But based on your info, then my first comment is probably true - Tmo/AT&T variants will not work on Sprint/Verizon due to not having the proper FW

Is this right? The FCC filing shows 5 models (SM-G930V [Verizon], SM-G930P [Sprint], SM-G930R4, SM-G930A [ATT], SM-G930T [T-Mobile]). It shows each version having support for different bands.
How would one go about changing the firmware? For instance, if I have the VZW version (doesn't support LTE Band 12) and want to use it on T-Mobile, how would I change the firmware to T-Mobile's?

Has that been ever done successfully on any of the carrier devices? You couldn't do that on the S6 to enable certain bands. I'm not too familiar with the other devices.

Well looking at Phonescoop, the S6 had separate CDMA and GSM models. Based on my understanding of the S7, there is 1 phone for the US market (where each carrier has their own model #) but internally the phone is the same.
The only other phone I can think of that had 1 variant for the US market was the iPhone (where each phone internally was the same and the bands that were active was dependent on the FW)

I think on the S5 you could change some of the NV to enable different bands. The iPhones are all one variant and they don't disable certain bands either. I have a 6S+ on T-Mobile (supports all bands); if I swap the sim for Verizon, it'll work on all of Verizon's lte bands as well. The S7 for verizon shows support for bands 2/4/5/13 so I'm not sure if I were to place a T-Mobile sim that it'll enable band 12 since it's not enabled on Verizon's version.
I guess we'll have to wait and see if it's truly one variant of the S7 in the US.
I'm in the UK, I'm wanting the S7 Edge - but don't want the 8890. The screengrab shows it supporting the main UK bands too.. Hm! Can you get simfree phones in US?

Figured out on the Tmobile variant how to set preferred band.
For me Band 12 is great for calls/texts in my building but HORRIBLE for data so I always switch to Band 4 as my only lte band (which means I don't get calls since I have VoLTE off but no biggie).
To do this on the S7 requires a few more steps than the S6, you have to
*#2263# for service menu
Select clear all bands
Then select LTE band preferences and choose the band you want
Then hit the more button(top right hand corner) and select back
Then hit Apply band band configuration
To revert back to normal go back into the service menu and choose select all bands and then choose apply band configuration

We normally can purchase phones outright but they are usually branded by their carrier. AFAIK, there wont be a unbranded version in the US. However, isnt the S7 doing something with the phone locking to the first sim/carrier being placed in the phone?
i have a g930t that is working with a Verizon sim card in it . and this is what i did
1: i used the sim unlock app on the s7 tmobile to unlock my phone
2: then flash g930u firmeware
3: i dont know if this one helped or not but i did *#2263# to slect all the bands.
4: turned off the phone
5ut the verizon sim card and turned it on
6: after it finished booting up the phone you will see a message on the screen that will say something like" need to reboot to configurate your sim card" hit ok and let it reboot.
enjoy
Can one use a G930P (Sprint S7) on T-Mobile USA with full band usage? I am assuming the phone would need to have a custom ROM on it.
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

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 !

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.

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.
Recently, I got a AT10 version of mate 8, 64GB/4GB version.
Now I'm using EMUI 4.0, got an update when I first launch the phone (Android version 6.0)
No unlocking bootloader, no rooting.
And I'm using AT&T in Texas.
So far I never saw 4G/4G+/LTE on my phone.
Sometimes H/H+, sometimes just 3G.
The highest download/upload rate I could get is around 7.5MB (in H+)
If it shows 3G, 1.5MB only.
Anyone knows what's going on?
Any solution?
Thanks in advance!
Check what 4g bands your network privoder offer in your country. In uk for my provider is 800 and 1800 but I now have 4g and for next 2 hours no 4g. Maybe signal coverage is bad. First lunch 4g at your phone and find option aggregation band is somwhere in settings and swich off. It helps me in my nxt al10

According to this information, it should work.

Thanks a lot for your help.
I live in Texas, USA. Definitely AT&T has LTE in this area, no problem with my old G2.
-------------
UPDATE: I went to an AT&T store yesterday, they helped me set up again, now I have 4G (App can recognize as LTE).
The download speed is around 11MB/s, upload for 7MB/s.
It seems AT&T staff made some mistakes when porting my number from my old phone to my new Mate 8.
Also some people mentioned about APN setting, that could be the error why I didn't have 4G and AT&T staff made mistakes.
Again thanks.

I tried. Not possible. I got all the way to putting in the new values in the phone, but when you reboot it they go back to default.

It all depends on the band the carrier is using. The phone doesn't have all LTE/4G bands unlocked. So if your carrier is using a band that is available on the phone then you are golden. For me the only band the phone has unlocked that AT&T uses for LTE is band 5. Half my city is band 5, and the other half is 2 and 17. So in the band 5 areas I have 4G, and in the 2 and 17 areas I have HSPA+

The LTE bands in the U.S. are blocked. Back in the day we had same issue with the original Samsung Note 1 - in was only built originally for ATT. Eventually folks built roms/kernels that did the trick on T-MO.
So here's to hoping the same thing happens w/ our ZF3ultra

I've noticed this as well on DP4. As for your original question, if a TMo variant can flash the International software via MSM tool, I don't see why the International variant can't flash the TMo software using the same tool. You'll obviously lose one SIM slot, though.

At my home location I primarily have three available LTE bands , band 12, 2 and 66 central Florida. On my Samsung device which is TMobile version it switches often between those bands. However on my dm1917 device it sticks on band 66 indefinitely at my home.
Signal strength on all the above bands range from -90 to -119db at my home.
