Hi people !
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab s 10.5" LTE veriosn, at least that what the box says
also the code written in the about menu, and also on back cover of the device says it is a SM-T805
which supposedly should support LTE networks, but when I check the 'Network mode' menu from 'Mobile networkd', in settings, connection I just see ('WCDMA/GSM' , WCDMA only and GSM only) shouldn't I see something about LTE over here?
does my device support LTE ?! , is there any version of Galaxy Tab s which does not support LTE at all ? (while it supports WCDMA(3G) ) ?
My SM-T805 is running fine with LTE and the cm11 rom. Which rom do you use?

Where are you located and where did you get the tablet from? Did you import? There is no LTE in america unless get the version from the carrier eg Sprint/verizon.
Probaby related to the rom you're using. There is a way to enable it. Its posted on this forum somewhere.

One of the good things about the gs6 is the ability to for b12 and even better ability to choose preferred band in automatic mode.
Does the m9 have some sort of ability like that?
You are talking about the WIFI channel 12 (which is illegal to put your WIFI on in the US)?
Actually I think he is talking about forcing a specific LTE band... (in this case LTE Band 12 which I think is for T-Mobile). Specifically accessing the LTE Band service menu.
For any Samsung device you would enter *#2263# and the "LTE Band" service menu would open up and you can force a specific band. IF this is what he is talking about, it’s actually a great feature because you can "lock in" LTE to a specific band, I use to do this all the time in the Philippines so I wouldn't get kicked off the LTE band. You can also see what LTE bands the phone supports.
When I had the M9, I looked everywhere and tried to find the code to access the LTE menu but I was unsuccessful. Maybe someone here has the code to access the LTE service Band menu. There were some generic codes that work for Google in general BUT none of them worked on the M9.
Try *#*#4636#*#*

*#2263# doesn't work for me
But yes LTE band 12
##DATA# on Sprint lets you do something like this, but I believe that code is Sprint-specific.
I have G710EAW (LG G7+) which has by default active LTE Bands 1,3,5,7,8,28. However I live in Europe and I with my carrier I would benefit from band 20 as well.
What I am doing currently, is via service menu I am activating manually all the bands I need (including band 20) in modem settings. This works perfectly fine, actually I am so used to it I can do it within seconds. Naturally after phone restart all is reverted.
It is a minor inconvenience, hence the question: any idea how to make the setting persistent or any tool that would do it after each reboot?
I would like to avoid installing firmware from other model (if that's even possible, I am layman in this...)

I don't know if Tasker needs root but you may be able to accomplish it with Tasker.
Although it may be a pain to setup i think tasker has a subreddit that you may be able to ask somebody who uses it more than I do

Hi, I'm also looking to buy the EAW version for the dual sim feature. So you confirm the phone has all the LTE bands but some of them are locked by the software installed?
I need a phone dual sim that works in Europe and USA....

Well I do believe Qualcomm Snapdragon is an excellent platform and the build-in modem is capable of all bands. I do have EAW version (I think originally from Hong Kong).
The band selection is not available from OS, but if you dial *#546368#*710# there is a hidden menu where in
Field Test -> Modem Settings -> LTE Band Selection I have these bands available:
1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,20,25,28,29,30,38,40
To my limited experience any combination works just fine (I am in central EU). The drawback is that after reboot (or airplane mode) only the default (1,3,5,7,8,28) are on.
Just for the hell of it. I tried on my US phone, can't even access the menu Sucks.

It works for me on the T-Mobile variant you have to use the stock lg dialer and type the code in you cant just copy it in
How do you know this has worked? I toggled on the bands that I need bu there was no 'success' or save prompt and if I exit and re-do the process all the boxes are un-ticked when I navigate to the LTE bands page.

Sorry for late reply.. I'm using stock dialer, and enter in manually, still doesn't work.. Maybe it is a T-mobile code or something.. I'm not use to having a phone were I can't access the hidden menues..

Weird it takes me right to the menu once I hit the # sign on the end
I get the menu ok just no indication it has worked and the setting has stuck.
Trying to get my phone to only look for the bands I want it to, but this service code doesn't work. Anyone know what I can do to set my bands?
Does Moto G8 support carrier aggregation? LTE-A? Can anyone confirm or deny this? I have seen conflicting information. What LTE category does this device support? Only Cat 4?
There is only way check via modem log but Motorola doesn't provide any non-root method. If you have rooted device, you can take log with Qualcomm diag method https://cacombos.com/contribute
Thanks for the answer, unfortunately my phone is not root. For now I have no plans to change this (for warranty).
I asked because I saw conflicting information. Some reviews say that we have LTE Cat 13/5 (400Mbps / 75Mbps (Notebookcheck), others talk about cat 12 (600Mbps / 100Mbps), and on the Motorola forum I only found information about cat 4.
Tried checking with NetMonster and sometimes saw aggregations of the two bands (2600 + 800Mhz for example) but the program only showed LTE and not LTE-A. And aggregation disappeared when data was turned on (maybe it's my carrier fault?). I've never seen an LTE+ icon. I also know that this application can show nonsense.
That's why I wanted to ask, because maybe he has already checked it?
Then i don't know any other way to verify Carrier Aggregation support from your device. Not every device show 4G+/LTE+ icon - some maybe show fake icons also.
CAT13 is 2 Carrier Aggregation with 256QAM (Theory up to 400Mbps)
CAT12 is 3 Carrier Aggregation with 256QAM (Theory up to 600Mbps)
NetMonster is not reliable way - I think best way is via modem log. There is instructions https://cacombos.com/contribute but for Motorola there is no non-root method to verify.
--
There could have also multiple different models so please share your device model number. It's in Settings -> About so then if someone else share more details or log then it's important verify device have same model number.
Thanks for the answer. Yes, I know Netmonster can be wrong. In that case, I am waiting for the answer of someone who checked the method described by you. My model is XT2045-2.
