[urgent] I broke my signal band mode - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

So I went into *#*#4636#*#* and I putted my phone in my pocket with screen on.
I took it out of my pocket and I saw set bandmode 23 successful.
No my question is, how can I revert this.
I've tried every different bandmode there is to select
Euro: gives me Edge connection and I can call
Bandmode 43. Gives me 4g but I can't call.
Not in the *#*#4636#*#* menu but in something else
I know about the engineering mode and I know how to enter it too. There is an option bandmode and bandmode2 both with over 100 different modes
Setting it to auto from this even more secret menu still didn't work.
To get in this mode download shortcut manager from gp.
Open app tap 3 dots and click app explorer.
Scroll down to com.oneplus.factorymode tap it
In there you will find bandmode and bandmode2
Any fix? I've tried every possible fix.
I'd like to call and use mobile data.

I would contact oneplus support if I were you

Move your sim into the other slot if it's not occupied, otherwise I found this method. I have not tried it yet, though.

Won't this make it worse?

Ya, don't go playing with the band selection, or you may just get dropped to 2g connection with no LTE possible.
After digging around, I found a fix to get LTE back.
Download the "Network Signal Guru" app from the Play Store.
I told it to "Clear Forcings" in the menu, and LTE is back up.

Glad it helped. Was starting to go crazy when I realized that I broke my LTE connection

Anyway to force 3g over edge?

My Fuze is always connected via EDGE, even though I live in a 3G serviced area (San Francisco Bay Area). I'm assuming the phone is choosing the stronger of the two signals by default, which is fine for voice, but EDGE is excruciatingly slow for streaming video. Is there a way to force the phone to use the 3G connection?
I dont know about the Fuze but on the european Touch Pro, all you have to do is
Start --> Settings--> "Phone" Icon -->"Band" Tab
Here you can choose your netwok type, by default it is set to auto, but you can force CDMA only if you want.

Thank you for the help, but unfortunately there is no "Band" tab under Start --> Settings --> Phone on my Fuze.
Install the Advanced Config utility (you can find it pretty easily if you search the forums). Using this you should be able to restore the phone app's band page. This is a common way carriers prevent you from messing with settings they don't want you to. You're actually lucky, there are more tricky things to fix than this one .
I got my Fuze today and was wondering this exact question about the 3g network and your fix worked!
Thank you

What setting was changed to get this effect? Sorry ultimate PPC newb.
Once you install and have Advanced Config up and running you go to Phone tab, click on it and it opens a new tree if items for you to click on, scroll down some til you find "Show Band Page" click on it and then change it from "No (default)" to Yes. Click the left soft key that says "Done" and then it will ask you to restart your phone, click yes on that message and once its back up and running you should have access to the band tab in settings for the Phone.
If you have any other questions post here and I'll try to help out.

Is there an answer to this question or not? How do I force 3G? There are 3 to choose from. 2 of them disable data connection. The other doesn't force 3G. I must be doing something wrong.

Advanced Data Menu ?

Is there any way to access an advanced data menu on the NS4G ?
I'm thinking of trying this fix for a 4G idle problem
http://www.groovypost.com/howto/mobile/prevent-phone-4g-wireless-connection-sleeping/
I tried this and it doesn't work.
you may have to try *#*#(number goes here)*#*#
or #*#*(number)#*#*
I forget which way it's supposed to be for the NS4G
if that still doesn't work than it's some other number altogether.

I've dug through data and info, and it's not there, either.
This is crazy. There seems to be no way of changing the idle time for 4G on this phone.
Right now, for me, this phone is unusable if I leave it on 4G. It goes to idle too quickly, and I am not receiving any Gmail push notifications, or Gtalk messages, as the phone considers itself disconnnected from the internet.
The only thing I can think of doing is getting something to poll every 5 minutes, but even then , these push notifications are supposed to be instant....
I've had it all of a week, and I've spoken to Sprint and attempted to raise the issue with Google. Nothing on either front.
Interestingly , this does not seem to happen to Evo phones.

[Q] MIUI without data?

Hey everyone
i'm pretty new to the whole nexus s scene, as i've had this device for about a week now. I've rooted my phone successfully and i'm running MIUI's latest ROM..1.8.5 i believe. Now for the problem..
For some odd reason I'm unable to connect to my 3G network at all (yes, data is enabled in the settings, and set to 3g prefered/2g/only 3g..still nothing). Usually there'd be that green "3G" on top bar of my screen, but it doesn't show up. Now i rely on wifi to go online, which isnt a problem...but it feels like my money's being cheated if i dont use my data in occasional situations. I've tried flashing it again and again, but no results. I've flashed my phone to the Oxygen ROM, and the little 3G icon appeared, indicating that data is enabled (i forgot to actually check if it worked LOL). I haven't found anyone else experiencing this problem with MIUI, but i've found threads on them having some sort of difficulty with their data. If anyone could help me out, or direct me to a thread that has a possible solution, i would really appreciate it ~ thank you in advance.
Also, I'm on Fido.....if that helps.
I'm on the latest miui and I don't have that issue try toggling the airline mode to see if it will kick it in. If not really download the Tom and do a clean install see if that works.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
hey, i've tried toggling the airline and it doesn't help. also, what do you mean by "the Tom"?
What happens when you try to connect with just 3G (what type of error do you receive)? Miui's stock 3G icon is white
Also, I think the other gentleman meant to spell ROM

He meant rom, auto correct changes the word rom, I think you need to wipe and reflash the rom.
hey, i've just tried reflashing the rom...and still no 3g ): !
also, when i enable data, and set it to 3g..there's no error. there's simply no "3g" icon on the top, and i can't connect.
Did u try manually inputting your apn? Sometimes providers don't push the settings to you
what exactly would i put in for my apn? sorry, total noob here :/
Go to menu>settings>system>mobile network setting>access point names. Do u have an entry there? You should. If not, you need to check with your network provider for the settings.
i've just tried putting in the APN settings (copied the stuff from the APN settings when 3g works on the oxygen ROM). is there anything else i havent filled in and should? cuz....it still doesnt work
Not really. Create it, fill it, save it, choose it and restart. Should work, it always did for me
How's the battery life on that rom
Seems ok to me. 3g uses alot of juice since the service is crappy in my country. Otherwise, best rom I tried
dang :/ still nothing... i've noticed something though. when im on my oxygen rom and search for networks..the option "Fido" pops up. when im on MIUI, the option "Rogers Wierless" pops up in the place of "Fido" .___." that may have something to do with it...
Same problem here on desire s.
When I try to change the apn setting I get a force close.
Cheers, Cor

Lock 3G signal

Is there any way to lock my Optimus 7 into 3G signal and not let it fall back to EDGE/GPRS when 3G is available with weakest signal? Happens a lot and its annoying.
The default behavior is to use the highest-speed connection. If it's falling back to EDGE, that's almost certainly because the error threshold was too high for useful connectivity.
There is a way to turn off 3G (which is also much more battery-hungry) but I don't know of one to turn off EDGE. You could look around in the disagnostics app for a way to specify the thresholds used, though, and myabe tweak them (the HD7 diag app shows the current setup but doesn't let us change it).

One more trick I would like to share is to create a contact with the name as 3G and the phone no as ##3282# and pit it to the start so that when u restart the phone u have easy access to the menu access to the menu.

Edit the "APN2 LTE internet"
Look for the "APN type"
The Default should be " default,mms"
Add ",dun" to the end of it.
And the finish product should be "default,mms,dun"
Make sure you save your modification. Hope this helps.

Do a search for "LTE"
Look for the instance "LTEFunctionality Test" "com.test.LTEFunctionality"
Once open, look for "LTE APN Settings"
There should be two which you can edit, the first is " APN2 EHRPD internet"
The second is APN2 LTE internet, this is the one you would like to edit.
Scroll down to "APN type" and add the ",dun" and done.
What if its shaded out how can we get it to work then.

Download Shortcut Master (Lite) from the playstore and perform your APN edits from the app.
Unlimited?
So this would be unlimited hotspot on my unlimited network from Sprint? and also I noticed that it wont let me open my sprint app anymore after adding ,dun
My guess this happens due to block the app from tracking your hotspot usage? I have 10GB of hot spot and I used this method then went back to normal settings again without ,dun and restarted my phone the My sprint app opened and well I be damned but it did not track my usage I still have 0 data out of 10GB used! I guess I will just have to disable it when I want to check my activity on the My sprint app, this is awesome!!! :good:
If I'm wrong please let me know

Or you could simply check your activity on the web via PC.
Personally I don't even bother, as it's unlimited. Or, reset the changes and change back whenever you get curious. Either way works

Oh yeah went thru the same thing using this method on the s7 with the unlocked firmware. I couldn't believe it wasn't registering, because I wasn't rooted. It's true though, it works. I would test it jus like you're thinking, by using the hotspot without the mod. It would count the data up while I watched. Then I made these edits, and BOOM! No more data was showing on the hotspot usage on the Sprint site. Didn't have any issues for a year. Then the phone broke [emoji28]

Not working QI5. Hotspot turns on, and I'm able to log in to hotspot, but no data. After turning off hotspot, I have to switch airplane mode on and off to get data back. Weird stuff.
