Tmobile band 2, 4, and 12 - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently Tmobile deployed band 12 where I live. Since band 12 is running my phone Nexus 6 of course wants to stay connected to band 12 while I'm near the towers that have band 4 also and not connect to band 4. When I'm near a tower with band 2 my phone connected to band 2 no problem. Band 2 and band 4 are 10×10 mhz in my area and band 12 is only 5×5 mhz.
With this being said I would like to know if there is a way to change the build.prop or something to have my phone search for band 4 when I'm near those towers rather than defaulting and going to band 12?
Thanks to those who reply with knowledge if this is possible.

Droid 4 LTE 700mhz Band 28?

Hi all,
On the 1st January 2015 LTE 700mhz Band 28 becomes active in Australia. Is it possible to hack the Droid 4 (XT894) to access this band?
Regards,
Seb
It should work without problem because it natively uses that frequency for the lte.

700Mhz LTE Band 28 is coming to Finland also (January 2017). However I believe that Droid 4 (XT894) only supports LTE band 13 (which is also 700Mhz). So Droid 4 will not work on Band 28? Am I right? Band 13 and Band 28 are using different technique what I have read.

Band 2

Is there any way to force usage of band 2?
Im in an area with band 2 and 4. but my phone seems to love 4. Forcing my wifes gs5 to band 2 yields better signal and speeds

Unlocking band 40 in Nexus 6 XT1103?

Has any enabling band 40 in XT1103 version? In my current city (bangalore) on my current network provider(Airtel) I need to enable band 40 to connect to LTE. Has anyone had a chance to try this out?
Both models of the nexus don't support band 40, so I would say not possible

T Mobile Band 66 Anyone Connect?

Have a S10+ G975F/DS
Has anyone connected to Band 66 yet on TMobile in the States?
This device seems to want to squat on either band 2 or 4. Every once in a while I can connect to band 12 but the signal is weak.
At home, if I put my sim into my OP6, it immediately connects to Band 66 but no such luck with the S10. Bands 2 and 4 on the same tower are weaker giving me only 96-102 dbm while the 66 band is around 85-92 dbm.
This device seems to squat on weaker bands and IMO overall the signal strength within the device is horrible.
So nobody has yet to connect to band 66..... Is Samsung lying that the band is actually active in the device?
Does *#band# in dialer work? Let's you pick bands.

Yes, but that doesn't really help as it only gives you a partial answer. Band 66 in some areas has a stronger signal where available than 2 or 4 and 66 isn't available in all areas.
So this is happening.... went in to LTE settings and selected one band at a time to connect to...
Device constantly squats on either band 2 or 4, however Band 12 or 66 is available as well. Band 12 connected at 80-85 dbm yet once again when auto is selected device reverts to connecting to band 2 or 4 between 97-105 dbm. Talk to Samsung and they keep repeating the mantra of the software will connect to the strongest band.... Clearly not the truth.
Connect to Band 66, even worse than 2 or 4 at 115 dbm. Yet take out sim, put it into my OP6 and connect to Band 66 on the same tower back to 85-92 dbm
So it appears not only does Samsung have a coding issue but they have pulled a bait and switch on hardware.

Just turn off band 2 and 4 and youll be on 66 since it so important.

I love when people attempt at snark and being a total D**K , yet seem to have a problem with reading comprehension. Clearly Band 66 doesn't work, but that would have required you to actually read something before your attempt at trolling the board with insults.

Sorry...
I on tmobile with the U version and band 66 works for me. I turned all bands of except 66 and I get lte+.
Hope that helps. I guess the F / DS ain't work on band 66.

Nokia 8 LTE band choice

Hi there
I use my Nokia 8 on Telstra in Australia, and Telstra operates on LTE bands 3 (1800 MHz), 7 (2600 MHz) and 28 (700 MHz).
However, I notice it would often move onto band 7, despite it being the weakest band in the area, as shown in the attachment.
Any ideas why this happens? Is there any way to fix it?
