I have exhausted every option known to me trying to get access to manual network band selection on the Captivate. The usual codes take me to the correct place, but I get an error message saying it's restricted. My question is will rooting the phone give me access to those menu options? I want the ability to lock the phone to GSM/EDGE or WCDMA at will. If anyone knows a solution to this, please let me know. To clarify: I am not looking to just turn off data and the *#*#info#*#* route doesn't work. Thanks.
Can anyone with a rooted Captivate confirm that you can or cannot access the menu to lock to GSM?

Hi,
No need to Root the phone at all. Just dial *#*#4636#*#* then click on "phone Information" scroll down to the drop down menu & click on it, click on "WCDMA" only & go back. done

This does not affect our phone. It does nothing.

What do you mean by "it does nothign"? I did it & working.
Setting 3G only or 2G only
I found out that if you go into the dialer and type in *#*#197328640#*#* that it will take you into a menu that will allow you to change it. From the main menu of the ServiceMode screen, select DEBUG SCREEN, then PHONE CONTROL at the bottom, then UE STATE CONTROL. From there select CHANGE RAT TO WCDMA to enable 3G only, and select CHANGE RAT TO GSM for 2G only.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't survive a reboot but it's a start.

thanks for this.
but to take this a bit further, is there any way to automate this via a widget?
^Not from a widget in the market
They tend to wind up turning data off all together. Im sure it can be done though

Phone settings, wireless and network, network mode. I don't know if it's present in all roms though. There you can change the network band type

You have been mixed up....
Clear your mind,
*#????# - service menu is service menu,
root is root,
These are two different thing.
I'm not sure if band selection is disabled on all Captivate roms (it definitely is on some) but I have ran a number of I9000-based ones, all of which permitted band selection. Try dialing *#2263# to enter service mode and see if you're able to select the desired band. I'm using Perception 10.1, on which I can use this to modify the band settings and it is retained through a reboot.
I'm running perception 10 and there is an option in settings>wireless and network>mobile network>network mode> wcdma only or GSM only or auto.

Band selection in settings is only in I9000-based roms!!! It's non-available in Cappy-based roms!
I stay in INDIA.
I have Purchased a HTC ONE form US.
And in that the MOBILE SHARING OPTION IS disabled and not visible.
I Unlocked the Phone now works with GSM network. But still the Mobile Sharing option is not visible in Settings>More
I read Some where that Sprint has disabled it because it has prevented the Use of Internet via Mobile to PC.
So Sprint has taken this Step to Disable the Mobile Sharing Option..
Can anyone Guide for the Same, to enable and make visible the Internet Sharing option.
Device is Rooted.
and i tried installing Root Explorer and the Changed the build.prop by getting R/W permissions, Saved the file, A back of build,prop is Credated
that means the build.prop is saved properly. Changed the USB UI tethering from 0 to 1 .
But when restarted the Phone, its Same that was Previously.
No changes are seen, which are done prvsly. no option for Mobile Sharing Network is enabled or visible.
Please Help...

i miss the quick access to disable my mobile data/LTE/4G connection on the S5. S4 had it right at the top. Best i can find is a widget called 'Data ON-OFF'. Couple other apps/widgets would turn it off, but not back on. i would have to go into the settings, more networks, mobile networks, and check the box by mobile data.
anyone know of a way to get this in the drop down menu in the top? On the S4 it was just a swipe and touch on the 'mobile data' button.

Not w/o root access. You can follow these steps though:

thanks. widget works pretty good, just have to exit the program instead of bringing down the drop down menu. its like AT&T wants you to use up your data plan
I always use *#*#4636#*#*

yes, follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721550
And it will add the disable/enable data to your notification panel and quick toggles. Some carriers have removed that quick toggle from the panel.
Note that this will just disable/reenable all data, if you need to specifically disable like LTE only and fall back to 4G, you will need a app like phone info from the app store.

But with our AT&T phones not able to root would we be able to do that? In the tutorial it mentions needing root. Thats why I am asking
Yeah, I forgot that you are all locked sown on AT&T variants. You'll need to wait for a root method and then this will work.

I didn't see this readily available and with many people not wanting to root and trip their Knox counter, I thought I'd show you how to get adblocking without root. This will work on both wifi and mobile data.
--First step would be to install Adblock Plus APK. I got mine from: https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
--After installing, run the app once and activate filtering. It should now be blocking all ads on wifi only. To enable adblock on mobile data you need to add a proxy to your APN.
--Go to system settings>network connections>more networks>mobile networks>access point names. What you need to do now is go to you default APN and copy down all the settings. We only do this because you cannot edit the original APN it seems. Now create a new APN and enter in the copied settings. The only additional settings you add to add to the new APN is:
---Proxy: localhost
---Port: 2020
Make sure you set the new APN you created as active and adblocking should be working! I have done this on my T-mobile S5. Hopefully some of you will find this useful.
I can confirm this works, just tested it several times. Thanks!
Gonna give this a test.

I had to modify my proxy for wifi and the app seems to be working (I need to find something that has ads, ha)...but I'm unable to modify my AP on my sprint s5.

Yea, I couldnt modify the APN on my S5 either. I just made a new one and copied over the settings.

Hi guys,
Sometime Adblock Plus crash... quite annoying.
I've decided to root mostly for AdAway ...
it works well on tmobile croatia , just added new apn
Thanks for this, it works, but have to manually add proxy and port to every single wlan network.
It is working for me.
It doesn't seem to work with Verizon phones. Anyone no verizon get this to work? Apparently you can't even create new APN's on verizons s5
Works great. Thanks so much!!!!!!
Works!
And we have to do this settings in every wifi network or just once ?
Thanks
Followed instructions exactly. Filtering says enabled, new APN selected. Still not working for me. AT&T variant S5.

Thanks, it worked like a charm. No root on AT&T and not having some sort of ad blocking was killing me. You are awesome and I hit your thanks button.

I have since rooted my phone so I forget. I think you might have to add a proxy to every connection you use

I don't believe you can adblock on the Verizon S5. My friend had one and I couldn't get it working on his device

Hmm, it for sure works on AT&T. Did you add the proxy settings to the new APN?
I have US Cellular N920R4 (NOTE 5) and trying to get it to work on Cricket -
Step 1- The phone was factory reset before putting in Cricket sim, after booting under setting >> Mobile Networks>> Network mode - I set it to LTE/GSM/UMTS
Step - 2 Under Network Operators - I selected the manual option and searched for providers - the search showed AT&T, Verizon and US cellular - I selected AT&T
Step -3 Under APN - I manually added Cricket APN -
Now I do get AT&T for a short time, I'm able to make and receive calls and SMS - Also get 4G in my menu - but after a few minutes I loose AT&T and the phone reverts to Verizon -
Can someone suggest what could be the issue ?
Also can someone share how to get to hidden menu band option (On other versions it is possible to get to it using *#2263#) and is there an option to change "System Select" under mobile networks to be changed from "CDMA roaming mode" ?

There's an app in the playstore called Samsung Phone Info and it has a function that will launch the full service mode root menu allowing you to get to all the available service screens, I'd just search that and download the free version by vndnguyen....
