There is an app called netvelocity by jio. It tells the info regarding the band and other info as well
Dial *#*#4636#*#* go into phone information >> press the 3 dots menu >> choose radio bands ..
Choose band 40 from the list ....
I am using Jio as well .. It does change the band to 2300 MHz and I get about 40Mbps Instead of abysmal 2 Mbps on 850 MHz !
You need to do that every time you boot your phone .

Setting the band 40 in this option will result in setting the same band for both sims ...
i m using normal 2g/3g sim in sim1 slot and jio sim in sim2 slot..
after selecting band 40 in that settings will result in no network for sim1(normal reliance sim)..
so , how to rectify that..??

Try putting Jio in Sim slot 1
I have an Airtel sim in slot 2 I still have signal In Airtel even after choosing band 40. .

that option will only change band for sim1 ...
but how to get back to default band without restarting phone...??
Post Edited
after some times , signal for normal sim2 gone , have to restart my mobile to get network in normal sim
You can't really choose your own band.
We have some parameters in the Network, that decide the priority of which frequency band you connect to.
Generally, where Signal, quality and load allow, we let you connect to higher frequency.

There is an app named netvelocity.. Just google jiostore and download it from there.. But problem for me is thay the bands are not getting locked for me from *#*#4636#*#*. The connection does get reset after selecting band 40 but netvelocity app shows 850mhz band and speed remains same as well. Only when i go outdoors then my op3 gets connected to band 40 nd i get full 4g speed of around 30-40 Mbps

Yeah that's right it tends to fluctuate that's the reason of low speeds.

You need to enable it by clicking on More (top right corner)
If you don't have the More option then download the Netvelocity enterprise apk

Same here.. Can't go on to band 40 even after selecting it and band 850 is giving almost 2g speeds... Everytym i have to go outside my house to download any big file.. Someone needs to solve this for us... I don't want to hate my oneplus 3 for this
selecting band 40 won't make you stop connecting to band 5,
and sadly there's no way we can lock our LTE connection to certain band yet, neither to set the preference
i understand your frustation, since my provider is also using band 5 & 40 for the LTE. If you are in rural/suburban area, it will connect to 850Mhz most of the time, since lower freq has a better penetration and coverage range.
2300Mhz mostly used in city & building, since it can give better throughput

Hi, I have a LG G4 H818N LTE model with dual sim running firmware v10c.
According to the mobile carrier, they support 900MHz and 2100MHz, yet I am unable to obtain 4G connection on my phone. I have enabled the option in the sim settings for "4G/3G/2G" on the SIM that I want to use for data and set that sim as the sim to use for data connection but it still only connects at H+.
Perhaps the carrier is using Cat 6 LTE. Is there a way to enable Cat 6 LTE on the H818N?
Is there a way that I can test LTE connectivity on the phone or are there perhaps any settings that I may have missed to force LTE connection?
I previously had an LG G3 D855 which connected to 4G without any issues.
Is there a file where I can manually edit the 4G bands for my phone?
Finally, slightly off topic. Can anyone explain to me what a KDZ file is?
Assistance would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
mine has a working LTE on both sim 1 and sim 2 but not simultaneously. i found out that the apn is alittle bit buggy. check your apn and set the primary.
Thanks, would you mind walking me through the steps that you followed please?

Hi all, thank you so much for the answer. I'm actually having the same problem with my LG G4 H818N. I'd be grateful if anyone can advise what kind of setting I should choose for my phone to work on Vodafone UK 4G network. I'm so frustrated to pay 4G plan but only get up to H+

Can't provide link as using xda app, but Google 'wiki Europe lte bands' and it should come up with what you want. I'm on three UK and there was two different bands to try, turned out to be band 3 for me. Hope this helps

I'm having a similar issue with my 818N. I can't get 4G/LTE.
Has anyone worked out why or how to fix it?
The hidden menus don't allow me to select lte bands they all just say fail after I select them.
In the RAT menu I am unable to select LTE only, it also fails.
It's as if LTE is disabled?
I tried installing 818P software into the phone which worked fine however I still couldn't connect to 4G.
I give up
It turns out that my phone was faulty and I've returned it to HK for a full refund. DWI were good to deal with and were fast to refund me my money once they confirmed that it was DOA.
anyone own a Three branded G4? i assume your still on 5.1

Dialler > 277634#*# opens the hidden menu
Field Test > Modem Settings > LTE BAND SELECTION > Tap Band 20.
If you're in the range of the 800 MHz the phone switch to it and will ONLY use it (until restart) or until you toggle WCDMA / LTE in the normal settings.
If you're getting No signal, go to manual network selection (do not change to WCDMA/LTE, leave it on LTE) and search for networks. If you don't see 3 RAT 4G, well, you don't have 800 Mhz.

OTA usually doesn't work on modified / rooted ROMS, so it's expected behaviour
ps. just checking. I can select band 20 and 4g works. if i select band 3 (1800) it keeps finding signal and unable to lock despite there being 1800 signal. does selecting band 3 work for you? is there a way of setting 4g only - so it works 800+1800 only ? (i know no volte on 1800)

hi, i have seen your previous guide on how to flash a G4 to work with 3's VoLTE
Is this still the case if i want to use VoLTE on a none 3 purchased handset ? guessing simply flashing the 3 stock ROM is not going to work?
Hi
Currently I'm not being able to get the 4G network and in mu country they're using the 1800 frequency (LTE 1800).
Is there a way to change it in the settings so as I can get hold of the 4G?
Thanks.

You should get 4g on the 1800 frequency. You can change between 3g and 4g in mobile data settings. However even if your network has 4g it will display 3g if you are not in a strong 4g signal area. It is the same here in the UK, 4g is fine where I live but I go over a bridge 5 minutes walk away and I can only get 3g! On some networks you need a new sim card for 4g to work as I did. Also do you have the correct APN settings for your network?
Yes I have the correct APN; otherwise if it's wrong I won't even get any data connection. Yes, I might be in a region where it's weak or unavailable but when I'm in a region fully covered by 4G, just outside the HQ of Orange, I still don't get it.
Try using mtk engineering mode app from play store(by go! or themonster) to force LTE - it's under telephony/network selecting.
yes then what do you do?

1. Open dialer and type : *#*#4636#*#*
2. Choose SIM1 or SIM2 to enter reception menu.
3. From dropdown menu ( LTE/UMTS auto (prl) as default ) change it to : GSM only
4. Wait until your cellular will reset and turn back on.
5. Less dBm amount = better signal strenght.
6. Test best signal for your network and share it in comments.

You can change this in network settings menu the normal people way and also allowing only GSM will relegate you to 2g network that has indeed better signal but will kill your internet speeds.

I try this.. when I change LTE/UMTS auto to GSM only I loose 4G and have only H+ that is slower than 4G.. and the signal is the same.. I try it on one spot for half an hour
2G has almost everywhere coverage and it's too old technology to use.
When UE is registered to 2G network it can't handle voice+data transmission simultanously (most networks does not support DTM technology).
Also 2G is not designed to used AMR-WB voice codec, only simple AMR which sounds like **** to be honest.
So this tutorial is pointless, sacrifice better data speed for rubbish voice and ultra slow data speed

Redmi NOte 8 Pro has big problems with LTE 4G + tape management. The phone does not keep the 4G + it switches and stays in 4G all the time. It's a modem management problem that does not support the double-banding needed for 4G +.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro model M1906G7I (Global) doesn't connect to 4G LTE
Hi there! My problem is even worse than this you are sharing with us. I bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro model M1906G7I (Global). However, there is a lie about it, the specifications indicate that about networks it works for the following 4G LTE bands: B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28, but it is not true as it only works for B1/B3/B5/B8/B40/B41 (I found it out by entering to engineer mode *#*#3646633#*#*). Therefore, in my case I can only connect to 3G because my service carrier uses B4 (1700 mhz, 2100 mhz) for 4G LTE. Besides that, everything is fine with the phone. What I am trying to find out is whether it is possible to activate or unlock the B4 band so that it can connect to 4G LTE. If anybody knows about a solution to this issue, I would appreciate the assistance to this matter.
Hi,
You don't have the global version M1906G7G
Global : B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28/B38/B40
China : B1/B3/B5/B8/B34/B38/B39/B40/B41
India : B1/B3/B5/B8/B40/B41
You must get a refund if you bought the global version, and change to the M1906G7G to be able to use B4 .
I just tried this on my note 8t. Switched to GSM only and immediately even before restarting the phone, went from 1 bar to full bars. Speed tests show much more bandwidth available (now at 11.8mbps/3.1mbps). Sweet. First post I found after a search and first solution just flat out worked. Still think I should be getting higher speeds (I don't think I have ever really cared about the mobile speed because I am almost always on wifi, and do not recall ever doing a speed test, but at least it's better than it was now.
