Here are the steps-
1. Open quickshortcutmaker app
2. Goto call settings and then goto last call settings
3. Goto band selection by clicking 3 dots and now your favorite band is selected.

Yes : download activity launcher
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher
Then stretch for "hidden", and open the app that go to a phone icon named hidden something.
Then, in the hamburger menu choose the band selection mode, pick the bands you want to lock to, then activate it
go back to "Network mode" from the hamburger menu and pick "band selection mode".
That's all

Mate,thanks but i am on android 9 with note 9 rooted with the last updates and samsung removed that hidden network app with the last updates. I installed it manually as a system app yet it didn't work .I mean the root permissions in the file system not the typical permissions apps ask for camera,contacts etc when installing or launching. Also I heard something called "hns" removed with the updates and that's why it doesn't work if i even install that app manually.
You can also read what i've comment about this issue in this topic,just look at the last messages.

No problem friend thanks a lot for your try.
Will this work for unrooted stock oreo to lock data from switching towers constantly?
I have a N9600 (TGY) device and I tried to manually select bands using instructions from this video:
youtube.com/watch?v=K-DN0q64lRw
I have the latest version of Android 10 available for this device.
I decided I'd rather NOT fiddle with these settings further and reverted everything... Now after a reboot, my device refuses to connect to the network. For example, I cannot make a phone call... Only after going to "Call Settings & Selecting "Automatic", I'm able to make phone calls again.
Any idea how to set everything back to default settings? I don't like the fact that the phone cannot make calls after a reboot as of now ... I'm using this device on AT&T, so what should the default selection be?
Thanks

This app lets you lock 5G/LTE/4G/3G/2G bands on most Samsung phones running the latest One UI updates: https://www.reddit.com/r/samsung/comments/g49ocr/app_samsung_band_selection_app/
After much headache with this issue, I found a method that works where the "Band Selection" menu doesn't work (this method is confirmed working on my Galaxy Note 8). Thanks @fasho:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-lock-lte-band.3681480/#post-74325453
TL;DR: Get org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo (from an apk mirror as it is no longer available on the play store), and then run ServiceMode as root. Follow the linked instructions further to disable unwanted LTE bands.

I'm using the ICS leak 213, and the CDMA-only option has disappeared. Any ideas how to disable 4g? I've got access to the programming menu, but there I'm lost.

LTE OnOff in the market, dials into the support menu (or whatever it's called) where you can change the radio. A bit of a pain, but better then having a dead battery 6 hours into your day.
This doesn't work on the Droid 4, the only option is to turn off the radio entirely.

Works for me just fine. It's not a widget, just a short cut. Select the drop down arrow about half the way down to see the different bands.

I'm not real up on the ICS leaks, I am still running GB, but I dl'd "4g toggle" from the market and it works awesome.
Thanks, I didn't see there was a menu there.

Thx for this thread I've been trying to figure out how to disable 4g. I downloaded the 4g toggle but it just links me back to my original choices of global gsm or lte/cdma. Any further ideas?

You need lte onoff as I stated earlier. Motorola has seen fit to remove the option in settngs to run on cdma only. the app I listed takes you into a support menu allowing you to select the bands through a drop down.
Widgets will most likely not work as the setting is in the framework and is not easily changed.

Works perfectly! Many thanks:good:
So I have been playing around with the LTEOnOff and was wondering if there was any information on the different types of radio's we can choose from.
EDIT:Since I poster this I found a neat webpage with a lot of information about the different radio signals.

Hi y'all,
I'm on a ROM that has issues with LTE - basically audio fails if I answer a call while I'm on 4G. So I want to set up a Tasker profile that toggles off 4G when a call comes in, and turns it back on when I hang up or the call otherwise ends. My ROM (Liquid Remix for ZTE Axon 7, based on Lineage 16) has a LTE toggle in Quick Settings, but the Secure Settings plugin doesn't want to work.
Any ideas?
PS This issue exists on every Pie ROM I've tried, so I can't just switch to a different ROM.

The secure settings plugin works - just not the LTE action. It says "A CM9/AOKP ROM and an LTE radio are required to use this feature." Something in my ROM must be incompatible... or maybe I've got an out-of-date version of the app?

You can try with shortcut master app , you can access many hidden settings this way
Shortcut Master cannot provide access to most of the interesting codes since an Oreo update approximately a year ago...

If what this app does is what you're looking for, then I'm not sure what the problem is, because on my device I have a setting to lock the network to LTE/3G/2G (auto conenct); 3G/2G (auto connect); 3G only; and 2G only. I'm not sure what more you want.

I'm sorry i should've been more clear and precise. I was looking for the hidden activity called Hidden Network Settings that was present in Oreo. By using that i was able to lock my phone to specific Network Bands like B40 or B5 or multiple specific bands.
However in PIE that hidden activity is not present, i did go through all of them one by one.
Thanks for your help guys
Hi there , I've been searching for topics like this in the past three hours to share the way I did to make Hidden Network settings work on pie.
Here's what I have done. Well it may not work for you if you're not rooted but I believe that there's another simpler way than mine
First. I have downloaded hidden network settings.apk from apk mirror the last update which is on 31-03-2019
Second I have installed it using Lucky Patcher
Rebuild & Install > Navigate to the path where you downloaded Hidden Network settings > Install it as a system app ( integrate app to system ) > Reboot
Please let me know if it worked out for you

I rooted my phone and installed the Hidden Network Settings app from OREO stock rom in PIE as system app
Just pushed the app in system apps directory with the right permissions
I am now able to lock network bands.
However it only works in rooted cases.
I wasnt able to do anything in stock unrooted rom
Is there a similar hidden menu that I can access to fix my GPS? It only works when I'm stationary, and VERY slow to update when I'm driving. The most annoying issue is that any APP like Google Maps is oriented 90 degrees in a different direction whenever I place it in "compass" mode (even when moving). I've done the figure-8 calibration numerous times whenever prompted, but it doesn't help.
Hi all,
Living in an area scarcely covered with 4G, I've always used *#*#4636#*#* menu to set LTE only mode on my two previous phones.
But, apparently, on my P30 Pro this menu is locked by manufacturer. I can't access it and if launched from 3rd party apps, get an error message telling me this functionality is disabled.
Does anyone have any idea if it's possible to unlock this menu?
Thanks in advance

This did show all the settings, but when I tap to select, it selects the one that was set before selection, so doesn't really work
So, what I've found out, is the following - the value 11 (which corresponds to LTE only), doesn't display this option after restart, even when you put "11,9,6,2,1" instead of "9,6,2,1", and the value 12 (which corresponds to LTE/WCDMA) does appear after restart, but doesn't let you select it and falls back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE...
Only possible solution is to leave the field empty or put "-1" and select LTE only, which you can select, but even in this case you can't select LTE/WCDMA.
Thanks for the help!

Wait, now I understand what you wanted to say.
You're saying it should say VoWiFi, while it's saying Volte on my device right?
It's not a issue. It would say VoWiFi, in India where I'm from, but i'm currently in Bangladesh, and here VoWiFi is not supported. Only Volte, which is also in a few operators.
And the reason volte is turned on by using VoWiFi switch is because, probably both are connected to each other
Anyway, I used a guide to get here.
I just posted this guide, coz I can't find that guide anywhere, and many people asked me for a guide, when I said, I was able to activate volte.
