Hello,
I am looking to buy an unlocked S21+ from Samsung Canada store (SM-G996W) and I checked here :
S21+ Differences that the following 5G bands: n2, n41, n66, n71 are the ones supported by the Candian model so my question is:
Is it possible to change the supported bands? For example, if I travel to a country where the used 5G band is the n28, will the S21+ support this band. If so, how please?
Btw, I have seen some users changing Network bands on Samsung devices without root so I want to make sure that it works with the 5G bands especially from someone who have a S21+ please?
Here is the link of the short tutorial: Un/Locking LTE Bands on Samsung I am talking about.
Thanks for your help

AFAIK this 5G bands are hardware related, not software related. So no "unlocking" in this case.

Hi team,
It seems OnePlus is showing different frequencies on the 5G band for phones sold in China (IN2010) and Europe (IN2013).
IN2010: Bands 41, 78 & 79
IN2013: Bands 1, 3, 7, 28, 78.
Does anyone who if a Chinese phone originally intended for IN2010 bands are flashed the international ROM IN21BA, are the other bands accessible in Europe . Other bands being, 1,3,7,28 ect.
Or is there a hardware lock?
It's technically programmed into NVRAM, but the publicly found version of QPST doesn't support this device, so I don't know of a way to modify the bands.
1,3,7,28 and 20 are 4g LTE bands in France, so Europe. It's not 5g bands
These bands are presents on the IN2010 model too

Shame, when Europe starts using band 28 on 5G, the Chinese imported phone won't support this band then.
Also i recommend compare 4G and 5G Combinations between China and Europe variant:
China: https://cacombos.com/device?model=IN2010
Europe: https://cacombos.com/device?model=IN2013

In France B28 used for 4G LTE for now but i think they will transfer it to 5G like other countries. That will be low band 5G for many countries to build coverage.
I bought a Samsung A42 5G from Rakuten. It is a 8Gb RAM version, model SM-A4260.
I live in France, and I use Prixtel MVO with the Orange network (3500Mhz antenna for 5G already open where I live).
5G is not working, even if the model I use has the good 5G bands:
Network: 5G: n1/n3/n5/n7/n8/n28/n40/n41/n78/n79 / (France is using n3, n28 and n78 right now).
Is it possible that it does not work because it is not the SM-A426B european model ? Software volontary limitation ?
4G LTE bands work perfectly...
Any idea to solve my problem ?

Do you think it is possible to flash the official international ROM of the SM-A426B on this Asian SM-A4260 version ?
The hardware seems the same...
I recently managed to get a Tab S6 5G (rare as only launched in Korea) for use in the UK.
I had checked previously that the S6 5G used N78 SA/NSA according to GSMarena specs.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 5G - Full tablet specifications
www.gsmarena.com
In the UK I use Vodafone, which supports the N78 band for 5G according to its Wikipedia page
Vodafone UK - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Now while the tablet will work with LTE (but not VoLTE) I can't get it to see a 5G connection.
I'm positive this is a limitation of my knowledge in this area so could use some detailed help in understanding what the issues may be and is there any way to address them.
If I can't use Vodafone is there another UK carrier that may work?
Hi there, I have a new S22 ultra SM-908E but the region is for Latin America and other places in Europe. Everything works except 5G. Is there something I can do to fix this?
I look around for SM-S908E firmware with CSC TMB but there is none. I have Odin and tried different versions for the same model but no luck with 5g. I did this with an S21 ultra and 5g light up once I was able ti find the correct firmware for usa.
Thanks in advance..
There is no TMB CSC because no US carrier carries the SM-S908E. There is zero US firmware for that model.
What carrier? If T-Mobile you dont have 5G because its missing T-Mobile's 5G bands. Most specifically n71. It does support n41 on paper but I wouldnt count on that actually working.
Its also missing LTE band 71 for T-Mobile which for my area as an example mean you'd have no service while everyone around you would.

I got 4g and 4g+, when I swap phones with the s21 ultra it goes straight to 5G/UC.

Sorry to tell you but S908E doesn't have 5G mmWave. You can only use 5G DSS. USA models has mmWave.

Hi Sorry to dig up an old thread. I'm in Canada and I have the same issue with no 5G on my 908E. When you say that there's no 5G mmWave, can't it use DSS to get 5g instead? If it can shouldn't it still be able to catch 5g that way?
TIA

Same issue here. No 5G on Telus, Bell or Rogers. I double checked the bands and the S908E should be compatible.
Did you find out what the problem was? Thanks
Same here on ATT and TMobile.. on att 5g bands are 5 and 77, both supported by s908e
On TMobile the 5g bands are 41 and 71, the phone supports 41 but not 71.. obviously no mmWave, but I should still be getting "low" or "mid" 5g, but I only get 4g/lte..
I have this app "net monster" that says 5g nsa is available at my location, but unable to connect
Anyone find any solutions?

As I know T-Mobile use B2, B4 and B5 for its 4G network.
Due to the NSA type, the phone needs to get information via 4G and it looks like S908E doesn't have these Combo.
S908E for n41 Combo: B1 B3 B8 B20 (information from https://cacombos.com/device/SM-S908E )
So this may be the cause that S908E cannot get 5G access via B2 B4 B5 ?

Interesting enough when I go down to the states and roam down there, I get 5G... now I'm not sure which provider I connect to but it shows 5G on my phone... (first time it showed up I didn't even know what it was because I've never seen the icon before lol)
Thinking of importing the Pixel 7 Pro from the US to India since India doesn't have a 256GB or 512GB version.
Will I be able to use dual sim in India with VoLTE?
And will I get 5G to work in India?
Please help!
No

So VoLTE and 5G won't work and neither will dual sim?
Will installing the Indian ROM work?
According to youtube link, it may work but u need to buy unlock phone only and it should be bought with full payment with no emis
And regarding warranty only Google support would answer best.
5g update will be included in December with feature update
The model sold in India is GP4BC, and the one in the US is GE2AE. The main difference is the radio bands, but I believe it should work fine.
For example, the GP4BC model supports LTE band 32, but GE2AE does not. However, from what I see, LTE band 32 isn't used in India. In any case, carriers support multiple LTE bands, so you should be fine for LTE coverage with the US model GE2AE.
For 5G, GP4BC supports two additional sub-6 bands (75 & 76). From what I see online, these 5G sub-6 bands aren't used by any carriers in India as well, so 5G sub-6 should also work fine if you buy the US GE2AE model.
