This is not New
I want to know if anybody can help to post the Band coverage by screenshoot on their Note 8
I am just wondering by Turning on/off band preference on their service mode, it will resolve the speed problem on Data and coverage problem, As we know some people buy the hand set such Unlocked version . US carrier (TMo/Ver/ATT/Sprint) version ,International version , but they don't use the same carrier the note 8 is manufactured for.
Like mine My Note 8 is T Mobile version .
You can see by press => setting=>about phone=> Service provider SW ver. last line is TMB/TMB/TMB
By Checking Service Mode for Band Coverage by dialing *#2263# on dial pad you will see like mine below
With TMB/TMB/TMB , I found after press 2 that WCDMA Band preference==> some band not supported .
please stated what model is your Note 8 firmware while you do iit and "Service provider SW ver"
this is also will help us to make decision if changing carrier/Carrier switching by flashing the FW is necessary.

hi guys
there is a problem need u help
I brought a m110s I9k's Kroean version
It said that it support to work in edge network
but whatever any roms ,there is only G!
i want to konw why?!!!!
and how to slove it
THX!
that sounds like an area reception problem
G (GPRS) and 2G (EDGE) they both run on the international quad band 850/900/1900/2100
I'm a little confused, you have 3g working but you'd rather have edge? 3g is the faster network and possibly the stronger signal, so your phone would prefer to connect to that network. If you are using an older firmware you can play around with the secret codes found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=721111&highlight=Secret+codes
best code for you to check out would probably be *#*#4636#*#* however Samsung removed or broke these codes 1 or 2 firmware updates ago. Also, you can look into the wireless and network settings and go to the bottom and turn off 3g. Please note that the phone and/or some carriers might not allow data over 2g, I know my carrier doesn't and this phone is designed to be optimized for SKT.
Please let me know if I'm confused about your question and i'll try to rephrase If I can better help you.

thanks 4 u answer,but my operator——China Mobile is support another 3G,TD-SCDMA,so i can‘t use wcdma。and CM is supply edge,so i don’t why,maybe samsung block it。
I was confused because I thought you were connected to "G" (I thought you saw a "G" on your notification bar). Have you tried to disable "3G", this might be able to force you onto an edge network, I don't think it'll work, but it's worth a try if the code I mentioned doesn't work.
Go to settings > wireless & network > 3G data call settings > select "no"

i want to know dose m110s support EDGE in China?
i see that in #*4636#,the network type is GPRS,how to change in EDGE?
even if you managed to change the settings to EDGE, it wont work
if GPRS is the fastest service provided by the cell phone network
last time i was visiting Cuba, their fastest network wsa only GPRS

As far as I know, it was blocked, and not without support。
The problem is how to get his support, the same as moto xt701。
maybe it as same as xt701,like you said.
change the radio band maybe will slove the problem ,take it from the euro band or hk band

I didn't see this post from you, you can access settings I can't so we are probably on different FW versions DONT UPDATE:
Try these codes to see if you can update the band

Doesn't china use different gsm networks?
I am having problems with internet all together. I have the Anycall Korean Samsung Galaxy S shw-m110s but I live in the United States and use AT&T but cannot seem to get the internet to work. I entered the correct APN settings but cannot even get an EDGE signal. Anyone have any ideas?
Can any one help to transplant baseband from i9000 to m110s?
Because EDGE is so important for China Mobile. It is hard to afford WCDMA. Thanks!
Please help to me.. (and to all Japanese)
I use S5 mini (G800F) in Japan now.
But this phone is can't use band 19....
Band 19 is so important band in Japan.
I heard this phone can't change band , because used Exynos (not Qualcomm)
Do you know how to change band to 19?..
not sure if this has any relevance whatsoever but i managed to get as far as..
*#*#4636#*#* (dial into phone)
Phone information > Menu (top-right) > Select radio band
I'm unable to connect to any of them (always returns 'unsuccessful') but I wouldn't know what it would say for you or if the menu even exists for you, I have a SM-G800Y model. All the best
Hello,
I am new here and this is my first post. I do not know if there is a special thread to present me so let me do this here now.
I am 31 years old an live in Germany, I like to test, repair, restore all kind of things. My english is not very good, but I hope you will understand my problem.
Actually I bought a damaged Samsung Note 5 N920V (Verizon) in the US and now it is working very fine. Some parts have to be substitute by new ones, but everything important is working fine.
I think you all know the problems with band frequency of Note 5 Version in Europe. The signal ist not the best one because in the US they use other frequencys for GSM/LTE/UMTS and so on...I think you know what I mean.
Now I saw that the Note 5 Version N920C is fully compatible with european band frequency. Somebody want to sold the chargin port platine with softkey buttons and atenna and so one...the whole platine.
I want to ask you If somebody knows if it is possible to build in this part from the N920C Version into my N920V Version to get the european band frequency I need? Or is band frequency "blocked" in the software and this parts are absolutely the same?
Hope somebody can help me.
Thank you.
Kindly,
JeBaFe
I'd like to figure out this too. I managed to 'allow' LTE bands via QXDM (like here) but it still did not appear in Service Menu (2263 - LTE Bands Preference) so I guess it is some other low-level software restriction (modem firmware maybe). I'm getting poor signal reception in Europe and no LTE...
Hi,
the first of all problems is, to get into the service mode of an Note 5 N920V....or I am wrong? Actually I found no working solution for this. King root does not root temporarily on a N920V...
The second problem is, if the antenna of the N920C is adaptive to the N920V and if the signals are now covered by the new antenna, we should have problem number 1....we can not get into the service mode to unlock the needed LTE frequency? Right?
Somebody there who can help?
Kind regards.
U can change your network setting by dial *#2263# on your phone keypad.
Hi,
this does not work. I tested it some days ago...
I think the antenna board / modem is the problem.
But I am a little bit afraid to test it.
I rooted my phone (920K).
Usually it is low network signal indoor.
I dial*#2263# then service mode appeared. In Network setting select Band selection. Then i chose LTE/WCDMA/GSM. Then restart phone and wait a while to see what happen.
Hi, my Note 5 is from Dubai, does it mean I may encounter network issues here in Switzerland?

This depends which Networks are used for 3F / 4G in Swiss and Dubai. If they use the same frequenzy it should be no problem.
By the way....I swapped a Motherboard / logic Board from a Note 5 N920C to a Note 5 N920A and it was no problem. Now I can use my Note 5 without any problems here in Germany. :good:
So I can say now, swapping a logic board from one Note 5 to an other is possible. :good:
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.
