Database Info

Service Mode / LTE Engineering Mode

Can someone please confirm if Service Mode dial codes work on Verizon S6 (Edge) variant? There are a few of them:
*#0011#
or
*#27663368378#
or
*#197328640#
or
*#2263#
If someone isn't sure what this does, it allows you to view which LTE frequency you're connected, what's the Bandwidth of the active LTE channel, what's the signal level and quality, if the Carrier Aggregation has been activated, even allows you to lock onto certain LTE bands, etc. So for example, if LTE on Band 13 is congested, you can force the phone onto Band 4, or Band 2, etc.
This is what it looks like on T-Mobile variant:

Tried all your codes. None of them work.

Thanks for the response. Once again we'll have to root the phone in order to enable this.
Verizon's been blocking this built in feature from their users for at least 3 years now... sigh

They've sometimes let the codes work, but neutered what's available for info/options underneath. I hate that Verizon does this.

I have a rooted Verizon S5 (not Edge). I tried your codes and, as expected, they didn't work.
What would I need to do as root to get them to work?

The instructions in milan's thread in the general section should work for your device. It's worth a shot.

YES! This worked. I can now access the Service Mode menus after setting the EFS file, as mentioned. Cool! Thanks!
NOTE: I had to use this code.
*#27663368378#

What do you mean by setting the EFS file?

I get an error: Connection problem or invalid MMI code.
my connection is fine, how can I fix my MMI code?

service mode menu
ok so i can access the service mode. but in the up right hand corner where it says "more" what do i enter in the input key option to access the menu for the service mode???

Perhaps you're better off not knowing, I stumbled across you because I'm ready after a long as time of rooting, lurking silently thru the forums, soaking myself up with information, and bricking a couple of devices, to add all the bands to my klte. You're eagerness only denounces your likelihood of messing things up and conning back like OMG WWIII somebody please HHHEEELLLPPPP!!! You're trailing dangerous territory not knowing

These are the bands supported by the oneplus nord according to gsmarena.com
5G bands 1, 3, 7, 28, 78 - Europe
78 - India
Make sure your carrier is using one of these bands. Some regions use different bands, and a phone made for a region might not work well in another.
Also, are you using dual sim? Because if you are, for Europe atleast when in dual sim mode 5G is disabled until a future firmware update patches things up.

Yes I don't see 5g. I have mobile plan with 5g but I don't we 5g. My provider eses N1 network at the moment. I don't understand why.
OnePlus 8t has the same problem.

OnePlus like other phones have enabled 5G only certain networks. I have list in my blog and also instruction how you can modify your phone modem and enable 5G-support: https://mt-tech.fi/en/modify-oneplus-7-pro-5g-8-and-8-pro-nr-lte-a-band-combos/

As per the excellent guide from @olkitu above, I managed to get my OnePlus Nord to connect to 5G on Telstra (Australia) with pre-paid plan.
Additionally, I was able to get VoLTE and VoWiFi working reliably using this YT guide:
Edit: I'm on OxygenOS 10.5.9 (Android 10)

One question. Do I have to do it each and every time after every Software Update or it is permanent?

Q: Shift/force 5 II to 5G Mode

Hi,
is there a method in which I can shift or force the Xperia 5 II into the 5G mode, since it is alwaxs in 4G although there is 5G within my network (o2 de) available (on phones of my peers and also stated on the network map)?
Best way would be by settings or so without any flash or a file.
Thanks

It's not probably going there for some reason.
You can check Netmonster app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.mroczis.netmonster&hl=en&gl=US
It shows which bands are you currently receiving and it shows presence of 5G NSA.
As far I know, this phone doesn't work in 5G SA mode (at least yet, but I don't think it will happen due all that whitelists that operators have). Because of that you can be in 5G coverage area, but still you won't be able to connect 5G network. Also even if 5G NSA is working, you can't actually force 5G only mode as 5G NSA can't work without LTE network. 5G is also undesirable option as all phone calls are likely using VoLTE, because VoNR is likely not happening with this phone.
In reality it's actually better having 5G off, because battery life is better without it and 5G NSA is only a bit better (mainly for upload, downloads can be actually worse, if your operator uses 5G NSA DSS). Really - 5G is currently mainly marketing scam*, no real benefits from it yet (Unless you want to show off with 5G icon in front of your friends .
*This is actual example of 5G NSA scam by operator. 5G icon is shown, but does it use 5G in reality? No - it's running in 5G NSA mode and see "Odpojeno" with ! in tringle which means that 5G is not used and operator simply block access to it in this area now (And because they uses 5G NSA DSS, I'm not even mad). But yeah, 5G icon is there, so let's show off .

*#*#4636#*#* will give you "Testing' Menu with 'Phone Information' where you can select 'Preferred Network Type'. But don't fiddle with other settings there. Also if 5G is not actually available I don't think selection of preferred mode will have any effect.
I believe NR (New Radio) only will enable 5G where NR/LTE will give you both 5G/LTE.

NR/LTE is set but still not 5G connection... no clue why

Question T Mobile version

I got the unlocked version from the google store to use on Mint (T Mobile mvno). It does not connect to UC which I figured it wouldn't considering only the Verizon variant has mmWave. However, I went to the T Mobile store and tested their 6a variant and it did connect to mmWave UC, speed test over 500mbs. So I'm curious if loading the T Mobile rom on an unlocked phone would support it.

I purchased the unlocked version, and I get 5GUC on TMobile. But I don't think that it is mmwave

Ok, I see T-Mobile also refers to their n41 (2.5GHz) 5G as Ultra Capacity

Yep. That's exactly what it is!

I have the 6a bought from a T-Mobile store (well, mailed from T-Mobile as they didn't have sage in stock). I see 5GUC in some places in Ann Arbor, but don't see DL speeds over about 150....

Out in the wild, I never see over 150 either. However, in the T-Mobile store, I get UC and over 400. I have a theory they have one of those personal cell things in the store. I'm in the Cleveland area. I turn off 5G for the most part, it keeps the phone cooler and helps with battery life.

I'm betting that the 5G UC symbol is for native T-Mobile, not MVNOs. If you see Mint Mobile in your indicator, it just says "5G".
I believe only Verizon shows "Verizon" even if a MVNO is used. Most carriers show the MVNO name if one is used, and avoid the branded indicators.

You are right. Even though the band is the same, only the T-Mobile sim displays UC. Found a good video explaining the differences.

I have 2 questions related to T-Mobile and Google purchased phone. I am on T-Mobile and have the default build.
1. Is there anything to be gained or loss by flashing the newer T-Mobile B1 build vs default B1 build?
2. Does flashing to T-Mobile B1 build exclude me from the Android 13 Beta program?

My Moto g 5g doesn't give me the "select preferred network option". I want to use 4g

I bought this unlocked from Amazon. Using boost mobile infinite
I called boost they said it should be able to be done from the phone
I called Motorola they said call boost

What is your model number? Is this a 5G Plus, or Stylus, or...?
We have device specific sections that you'll probably get more help in, so if we know where this thread needs to go, we can move it for you.

It's regular moto g 5g 2022 that is the model name.

You should have a toggle for 'Allow 5G' that will do what you want. If not, use the dial code *#*#4636#*#* and pick an appropriate config under Phone information -> Set Preferred Network Type that does not start with 'NR'.

Awesome. Where can I find the breakdowns of each network type. Which one is 3g. I think 4g is LTE

On the TMO network 2G is GSM, 3G is WCDMA, LTE is 4G, and NR is 5G. CDMA/EvDo would be for Verizon 2G/3G. TDSCDMA was developed in China so you won't see it deployed in the US.
