I have the SGH-I317 and when I go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu to change my raido to WCDMA only or WCDMA/LTE only it doesn't seem to save my changes even if I press the home button and leave the menu running in task manager.
When I'm at work my phone will switch between Edge and 3G all the time and it's draining my battery. Any ideas on how to fix this?
ATT has given us a real treat with the current generation of smartphones...
Both the SGH-I717, and the SGH-I317 on the ATT network are RAT restricted...
This prevents us from changing radio bands like we were able to do only a year ago on our other "not so smart"....smartphones..
Other carriers still allow this feature, but ATT does not...
Thank you AT$T......not.......g

Damn. There's no possible fix for this? I should have bought the T-Mobile version lol.

i guess it is more network-dependent than hardware? i seem to be able to choose networks, using the i317 with a T-Mobile sim

And all newer AT&T branded Android devices? Devices like the Nexus 4 or T-Mobile devices aren't restricted?

Hey I was messing with this on my T-Mobile Note II and i changed my RAT mode to WCDMA and now I'm unable to get LTE.
I've done EVERYTHING. I've even ODIN restored it. It WILL NOT connect to LTE anymore. Nothing I do to it makes it want to connect to LTE.
What do I do? Why won't it connect to LTE anymore even after flashing the factory image?
Hello everyone,
I wondered if it would be possible to install the Kitkat update of the 3G version of the Note 10.1 2014 on my LTE device as they both have the same specs. I don't have an LTE data plan so I wouldn't mind to downgrade to a Rom that couldn't access LTE network.

No, they have different specs, P601 have an Exynos processor while P605 is a Snapdragon,
Don`t even think of flashing as you might brick your device.

Are you sure? Because it's exactly the same device, except when it comes to data speed.

I can't advise you on that. I would reach out to the Original Poster on that thread and ask.
I would pay if someone could open LTE band 3.
As i read there is DIY option only for Qualcomm processors.

There is for Qualcomm but not Samsung processors because there is no source for them. Without that, we just can't do it. Your better of just buying an S6 with band 3 or and international one.

Hi all
I bought a Chineese Version of the Redmi Note 8 pro. I installed now V10.4.1.0 Global Rom and it works. Last problem is that i need band 20 to have a good 4G connection.
Is it somehow possible that i can unlock and set this band ?
Kind Regards
You cant add new BANDS. China modem no support him !Re-flashing does not help!

Redmi NOte 8 Pro has big problems with LTE 4G + tape management. The phone does not keep the 4G + it switches and stays in 4G all the time. It's a modem management problem that does not support the double-banding needed for 4G +.

Hello, could you please specify what kind ofLTE band issues this phone have? I've just ordered Global vers. with 128 GB ROM, where Band 20 (800) is the most important for me, as it is the most frequently used one in Türkiye. It doesn't exist in my Mi5, so hope the signal and speed would be better with Redmi Note 8 Pro.
anyone played around with trying to unlock more bands? pretty sure the modem has the ability to get them all, and is just software locked for one reason or another
Even I go to engineering mode. It still cannot unlock the band 7 / 20.
it seem Chinese version cannot unlock the band.
I hope some expert can do it later and share with us.

what do you mean by "tape management"? If it's a modem management problem, then it is software related. Helio G9T's HAVE the WorldMode modem, what you're describing doesn't make sense and doesn't answer my question.

it's probably a modem firmware issue. the problem is the Helio G90T is only available on the RN8 Pro, so swapping modem firmware from another device isn't happening. I wonder if anyone with the Global variant has tried though.
I have Note 8 pro Global Version and band 7,20 is enable by default.
may work

I have an Exynos S20U that is LTE (or 4G) and i would like to enable it to 5G. Samsung for some reason decided to keep the 5G module on all phones but disable it on some and i find that unacceptable on a phone I paid 1400$ for.
I would like to see if this is possible (and also to change the text on the boot screen).
All input is appreciated. Thanks.
sorry all s20 Ultra's should be 5G enabled?. Please ensure your phone is the correct one for your country/region and running the correct CSC code for yr network. make sure your network supports 5G and your tarriff is active with 5G etc

Some countries in Europe get the LTE version which still has the 5G modem inside the device, hence the identical model designation but it's not enabled. Even on the boot screen it says ''LTE'' instead of 5G, and on the box it doesn't even tell you that it has 5G capability. An idiotic move on Samsung's part tbh.
That's why i was asking if i could somehow bypass that and enable it manually.

The only way to know that for sure is to tear the device apart and check if the 5G antennas are present, there is supposedly no other way to know.
For the bypass part, you need someone to actually understand how that modem works, create a custom firmware for that modem (which I guess is different for Exynos and Snapdragon models) and then enable 5G.
All of this will require significant reverse-engineering effort to work at all. You won't see a 5G enabler soon. Also, it will 99.9% require unlocked bootloader AND root, so say goodbye to knox.

I've actually seen a teardown of the Ultra i'm using, and it has the exact same 5G modem as the advertised Exynos 5G G988B Ultra.
Thanks for the input.

Wow didnt realise there was an lte/4g only model of the s20 ultra. It doesn't make any sense is it much cheaper than the 5g version? What market is it sold in?

As far as i know, Indonesia and some parts of SEA, and parts of Europe (Central and Eastern). Could be more widespread but in essence it's an exactly the same phone, same model number, identical internals as the 5G version, just with the 5G modem disabled for some reason. It doesn't cost a penny less.

it is possible Samsung locked the 5G in S20 Ultra sold in Indonesia because Indonesia is still far away from the implementation of 5G.
Quoted from The Jakarta Post, "We'll be able to implement 5G services no later than 2022," said Association of Indonesian Cellular Operators (ATSI) chairman Ririek Adriansyah.
I guess Samsung is trying to save your phone battery from trying to search for 5G bands when it doesnt exist in Indonesia.
Try installing this app from google play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ray.samsungbandselection
If your phone has the antenna, it should show up here.
UNLESS...... samsung added the antenna but didnt load the antenna drivers into the firmware.. but that would be a stupid thing to do.

That's a good point but it seems strange as i live in Europe, in a country which promises 5G coverage by the end of the year (not country wide, but in major cities). Do you think Samsung could eventually release a patch to enable it?
Also yes, Samsung indeed added the antenna but there's 0 drivers.

A CSC based switch is definitely possible, if you switch to a CSC from a country where the 5G model is officially sold, you might be able to use it, but no way of knowing for sure without visiting that country, switching the CSC and inserting a 5G-ready SIM card.
Has anybody tried and tested this?
What if you install a S20 5G firmware instead of the default one?
Please tell anyone how to enable 5g in S20 ultra Indian version.
