I mean for example open LTE band 3. I know that device is capable to receive network on that band and it is blocked by the operator.

BUMP bands 3 & 7
This might be the place to get started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
The process seems complicated, so good luck.

Thanks. Yeah I saw this thread, but wondered with the S6 using Exynos processor instead of a Qualcomm processor if it stil could work.

I can't advise you on that. I would reach out to the Original Poster on that thread and ask.
I would pay if someone could open LTE band 3.
As i read there is DIY option only for Qualcomm processors.

There is for Qualcomm but not Samsung processors because there is no source for them. Without that, we just can't do it. Your better of just buying an S6 with band 3 or and international one.

If there is no other way, I will stick with 3G - gives almost 10mb
Did you get any success regarding adding LTE bands?

S20 Ultra LTE.. No5G :crying:

i just recently received my s20 ultra LTE, there is no 5G enable. just want to know is this software limitation or that 5G modem is missing in my phone. its powered with exynos 990.
depends on what market you're living!
4G ultra might offer significant better battery life since the external 5g modem is disabled. we need to wait and check
Possibility your SIM is is not 5g ready?

Give more details. What version you bought? Where are you living?
I got the usa snapdragon ultra and there is no 5g option here in the UK where I am
Only tmobile has nationwide "5g" other carroers are only in very few cities. Itll be a couple years. Go to *#2263# and disable 5g to save battery

Seems like you might have the incorrect bands needed. As I have. No 5g for me either

I don't think you can
What speed are you getting on 4G?
Tbh if it's anything like the UK then you'll have more than enough speed and better battery life.
The phone capable of 5G (network permitting) but do we really need it? Similar to the ram, do we need 12-16GB? Lol, not really.
Run a does test, see what you get.
175Mb down? Lol that's slow for me..
Check yours

Question Oneplus 9 pro telus 5G

Hi, I have a question about telus 5G, anyone can connect telus 5G network? I don't even have 5G switch in setting.
thank you!
I have a OP9 and same issue. Data is also very slow but that could be a separate issue.
If it's available/provisioned to your SIM, I'd assume that setting your Preferred Network Type to the variant that includes 5G should allow it to be received.
I support some clients on Telus, but I'm not well versed in how they're rolling out 5G and/or what bands they're using, etc.

I called telus, it was banned by their side, won't be supported, but they also told me that for now in canada, all 5G providers are not providing 'real' 5G, just use 4G is still fast.

for now bad answer is YES, they ban phone by brand, they told me only LG, HUAWE, Samsung, Apple etc on their wesite will be supported out of box, but other brand not guaranteed.

In other words "Buy a phone from us if you want 5G".
Sounds like a money grab from Telus.

That's unfortunate. I swear I remember my OnePlus 8 Pro being 5G compatible though. I never saw it in the status bar but it was an option inside settings. Strange that the 9 is not seeing 5G anywhere.
Maybe someone will come out with some kind of mod or tool to force 5G.
Hola
Sad situation this is. Stranger still is that I had a Xiaomi Mi 10 last year and I was able to get 5G in certain locations. And at one point Telus was the least restrictive when it came to VoLTE and WiFi Calling enablement on non-Telus branded phones.
5G is not enabled in Telus 5G-network. Here is listed 5G supported devices: https://mt.ax/0x390
To enable 5G, you can follow my blog guide: https://mt.ax/uLgc2 .

Thank you so much for the reply. What about dual 5G standby on both SIMs?
I have 2 SIM Cards using 2 providers.
Both used at the same time. See image attached.
Unfortunetly when i took the screenshot, 5G were not available. But it's same as 4G.
Hope it helps.

Dual 5G standby on both sims is possible only in Snapdragon models. Works fine on E and 0 models.

Question Is S22 GPS dual band capable?

Hi!
Samsung Galaxy S22 (exynos) has dual band gps support?
GpsTest doesn't show me L5 signal.
I have poor signal, worst than my last OnePlus 8T.
Thank you!
The S22U (exy) has dual band support, the S22 has the same SOC, therefore I would expect it to receive L5. Btw. the Note 10 and S20 exy versions also have dual band support, so it would be strange if Samsung had removed it only on the S22.
Capture with S22 exynos and my Oneplus 8T… Maybe S22 has not able the feature and it’s enabled on S22 ultra?
Have you figured out anything?
Really no dual band?

there is GPS problem with S22 (exynos) verison but not for S8 Gen 1 version

What kind of problem do you mean? A standard user would not recognize if dual band works or not.

on s22 regular snapdragon, do not see L5 as well
Hm, if Exy and SD are affected, then maybe a hardware antenna for the 2nd frequency is missing?
My S22 Plus (EU version SM-S906B/DS) has L1/L5 as far as I can tell. I noticed in the GPS status app before as it counts the dual band double per satellite (so 2x visibile satellites). I installed the latest Android 13.0/5.0 update before running GPSTest, but I think it already was working like this before.
Sincerely,
Wim

It looks like only the S22 has no dual band. The Plus and Ultra have.
And carrier phase is only supported by the Exynos models and not by the Snapdragon ones.
