How can I enable the service menu on my Note5?
The reason is my Note5 always shows the 3G signal.
I would like to lock the 4G signal on my Note5.
Actually, any possible ways to enable the service menu on my Note5 without root?
Thank you so much guys

Some kind of service code, like *#*#4636#*#* on a Nexus device shows Phone information in which we can force the signal to LTE or WCDMA only.
I would like to do the same in my Note 5 because it only shows 3G/2G auto connect or 4G/3G/2G Auto Connect only.
Anyone?
with some xposed tweek call force LTE you can do it i use it on my note edge, but without root i don't think you able to do it.
if you are rooted then you can use shortcut master app. but without root i couldnt find any method after trying for hours. so finally ended up rooting to get that very functionality.

like my phone can just sit on 3G, in the same place,while not moving
but if i reboot my phone, it'll pop on to LTE (if its available in that area)
but i reboot it in known LTE areas (when showing 3G)
anyway to force LTE, without rebooting the phone?
or is there some time schedule where it checks to see if LTE is available that I can change?
Yes which model u have? Its in the secret menu

I don't have the Sprint version so I don't know if this works but you can try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSrtUw8D9_w as this method worked for the very similar LG G2 for Sprint.
I feel for you buddy because this phone is blazing fast on LTE

Hahaha you're absolutely right. I knew just by reading the thread. Sprint is the worst! My HTC One on Sprint was amazing but I couldn't ever hold on to an LTE connection for more then 30 seconds. Unlimited data is useless if your only on their horribly slow 3g
Sprint does suck, if i didnt have 4 other people on my account that would have to get new phones/account etc, I would have been switched.
but that video i think was to turn on LTE, my LTE is on, but for some reason wouldnt search/connect to LTE when it was available all the time
however i went into my mobile connection settings, and changed it from "LTE/CDMA" to Global
now it seems to switch to LTE when its in an LTE area. LTE icon comes up without me having to reboot, i'll keep a watch on it for a few days to see if indeed that was the solution
by the way, anybody now what the "global" option is? compared to LTE/CDMA

I'm pretty sure the global setting is to allow it to connect to GSM carriers in the event that the device is unlocked and the APN is changed accordingly.
I have the same problem in brazil, looks like a problem with the Phone. I had a Samsung S4 that worked with full signal in 4G in my home, now that I moved to LG G Flex it also works full signal 4G in home, but when I move to some place where is Edge then go Back to home, it never moves back to LTE automatically. I need to restart or change the NetworkMode manually to make it back working in 4G.
I think the phone has a problem to automatic search and change the Network mode.
anyone know how to enable only lte yet? i've tried all different kinds of secret menu codes and cant figure it out.
Answer
How to access the hidden service menu on LG G Flex:
For AT&T: Go to dialer and enter 3845#*950#
For T-Mobile: Go to dialer and enter 3845#*959#
For Sprint: Go to dialer and enter 3845#*995#
Once you're in the hidden menu, go to LTE-Only > Modem Settings > RAT Selection > LTE only
Enjoy!

I was earlier having Mate 9, in which i was able to use to switch to LTE ONLY mode very swiftly using netswitch app, to use Vodafone India 4g network. My mate 9 used to show 4g only signals and i was able to use data only network as my area was having issues with 3g network.
Now i got a new Note 8 Dual sim exynos model. Using some third party apps from play store, iam able to select LTE ONLY mode (only on the sim which has been selected as Calling sim). But it displays no signal after forcing to 4G only mode.
Please somebody help, so that i can use Vodafone India 4g network.
In the same area, when i use the same sim in a snapdragon Redmi Phone, and select the LTE only mode using *#*#4636#*#*, instantly that REDMI phone switches to LTE mode and shows full signals and i can use 4g data.
Somebody please help.

Use Phone INFO or Shortcut Master, launch 467 (Phone INFO has Shortcut Master secret codes built in, same dev).
Use this app, it is not avaliable in play Store

2. Even when I use single sim of vodafone, and slectblte only it doesnt shows any signal, while same thing when i does in my mate 9 or red mi 5a, both shows lte signals

Sir, you are the man. Thank's a lot for this lovely app.
You shall be mine as well.
Especially since the app "shortcut master (secret codes)" stopped working for me under Android Pie, your app successfully calls the network mode selection menu.
Many thanks for that great hint!
Link is not working pls tell me the name of the app
You may use this link instead.
I am using the dual sim Exynos version of Note 9 and want to be able to force 4g LTE on either of the two sims as needed.
Can someone please advise how to do this on an unrooted phone? Thanks
Anyone?
I also found no solution. I think it's possible without root but no one is updating the Phone Information Apps. We need to get access at phone information 2 and not only on 1
Mine are both 4G / LTE. Inever need to switch the Sims around. Whichever I choose for days gets LTE. this is different from what I had in the Note 8. I was pleasantly surprised. Therefore it may be a settings issue for you. I have the Note 960F/D
you may try quickshortcutmaker app on exynis version and follow instructions in video
https://youtu.be/AdGAB4qRvYA
I feel like the Tasker App could handle this easily.
I dont understand the actual need.
Simply changing preferred network mode from LTE to 3G shall do to stop LTE on any sim.
I use LTE on both sims for calls
I use LTE for data on specific sim by making it as preferred sim for data.
Settings -- Networks -- Sim card manager shall help in these settings.
I am on exynos N960F Indian firmware.

You don't understand the actual need ??
So i will tell you
On my work i am located in a big Hall underground. The Provider i need down there is only coming in with -110 dB and less which is one LTE Bar. If i leave Automatic Mode it switches always in 2g Mode because of much higher Signal. So to get a nice experience and have LTE always available there is no other solution. The same kind of problem is on my other LTE Sim when on different Locations during the Day ! So i have no time to always switch sim cards so that sim2 is forcing lte !
And off course no one else knows this and so i benefit of this extremely fast connection where all others are crying because of no 4g connection

OK understood.
Did not you get one UI already which has option of LTE only selection too for network mode.
Negative. Here the German Rom (dbt csc unbranded)
Has never got LTE Only mode in the menu. This is also for all European Roms. I have had this only when using Root and Custom Roms.
Because i use many banking and streaming apps it's not possible to root this time. Even with Magisk Hide they will not work.
If i could i would have rooted long time ago. This is getting me Crazy really

Sorry but are you reading my Post?
I am talking LTE Only on Sim Slot 2 of any Samsung Phone out today. All the LTE Only Apps or the Phone Info Menu where they lead you is only working on Sim Slot 1.
I am sure there is a dial code like the one it gets you to the Phone1 Information Screen where you can change the bands. But only for Sim 2 (Phone info 2) on Samsung.
So again LTE Only on sim Slot 2 on Samsung Duos Versions is not Possible @ the moment without Root!
If there is any Dev out there you would be the first One to create an app where Phone INFO 2 is possible to change! Or just find the right hidden code for that i know it's there like the Phone Information 1
Hi,
There's an option to force the selected APN to LTE only but I don't know if it will behave like you want to.
What's great is that it's per SIM so you can try any combinaisons.
Deselect "undefined" and select only the "LTE" one (screenshots).
I expect that if it find any other bands getting a better signal than LTE, it will just let the phone loss the signal and not trying to catch the LTE one, but you can try.

Hey thanks for that. I really was in hope this could work but that would have bean to easy. Unfortunately it's not changing bands after deselecting undefined and than choose some network mode it remains to the same band but it looses the mobile data symbol (but still remains in same band).

This code and all Codes are not working on European Samsung Devices with Android 9 .
I Even Rooted my Galaxy Note 9 and all the hidden codes are Not working ! Even Samsung Phone Info App or other Apps are not working with Latest Android 9.
Only way is Root and Custom Rom like Alex Dev Rom where the CSC is Modified. There it was possible to change both Sim to LTE Only ! But as told before with Root
i loose to many services which are detected even with Magisk . So my next Phone will not be Samsung anymore because of that.
Hello,
I use the Three network in the UK with an unlimited data plan and they provide a service called 4G Super-Voice also know as VoLTE.
To get this working I had to flash my Note 9 with the 3 firmware which is annoying because of the boot screens but its worth it for VoLTE.
Anyway, I can only access 4G Super-Voice if I put my phone in aeroplane mode and then off aeroplane mode. I then can see using *#0011# that I am using band 20 which is used for 4G Super-Voice.
With this, I can access VoLTE, better signal and faster 4G speeds. But after 30seconds it goes back to Band 3 and I no longer have access to VoLTE and the faster speeds Band 20 offers.
I have had a look online and a few people have fixed this on other devices by only letting the phone access Band 20 and disable the rest. On my Note 9 when I try entering Service mode using *#2683662# I'm left with a blank screen with no options to select. Not sure if 3 have locked this on there firmware or if I'm accessing the menu wrong. Any Help is much appreciated. Thank You

Yes, you can lock out certain bands while allowing others, but the *#2683662# code has been deprecated in the latest models/firmwares.
Enter this diag code *#2263# or *#2766338378#, tap LTE Bands Preferences, one by one deselect all the bands you don't want (especially band 3), tap on Go Home or Go Back/Previous, and finally tap on Apply Band Configuration. If you did everything correctly your phone should no longer pick up the unwanted bands.
Here's some more information about this issue.

Hi guys,
I have rooted my note 8 with deluxe ROM to access hidden network setting option to lock specific band of network. As we know that, Hidden network setting option is disabled by Samsung but, I rooted my device and download apk of hidden network setting and placed in system with help of root explorer. Everything went perfect. Now, I can access section where i can select specific band and lock it. I access it with Shortcut Master Lite. But, When i tick on specific band and toggle the selection button then it shows message success. Immediately my network change to my selected band. I can check from *#0011#. But, if my phone remain in stable state for few seconds then it automatically switch to another band. Which mean it didn't lock to specific Band. When i go back to hidden network setting, there is no tick on my selected BAND but toggle but still says that i am on selected band option instead of LTE ALL. I am using India Jio Sim card which support Band 3, 5 and 40. I get very good internet speed on 3 and 5. But, It automatically switch to Band 40 when its remain in stable state.
I want to lock it to Specific band only. Can you help regarding it. I am using deluxe ROM with Android 9.
Thanks

Hello, were you able to fix this problem ?
Am going through the same atm
I'm facing the same issue on my N950F. Don't understand why samsung locked this on the Note 8, most new phones allow this setting. Any way to work around this with root ??
Edit: this is what worked for me https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-lock-lte-band.3681480/#post-74325453
TL;DR: Get org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo (no longer available on the play store), and run ServiceMode as root. Follow the guide above to disable unwanted LTE bands. Finally a solution that works for devices which Samsung disabled the "Band Selection" menu method (blue background issue).
