Network mode LTE/WCDMA? *#*#4646#*#* in dialer not working - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
got a new S6 Edge today. Awesome phone...
I want to change network mode. I know there is a detailed menu when typing *#*#4646#*#*
But this does not work on Samsung phones wtf? It worked on Nexus 4, One M7... I'm kind of pissed know.
As I already updated to 5.1.1 there is no option for me to root without touching KNOX. Didn't know this when started the update.
Are there any other options to open the menu or change network mode? Please help

Hello frnds.

Comeon,any one have solution for this?
Don't think anyone else experienced the same problem. Use other browsers then, the default browser is crappy.
use other working browser thats the best solution u can get.. as u have already tried all the recomended procedure.. may be it has something to do with ur carier.. and not a phone problem...
does any of ur friend have a ace?
u can check with them.. and if it's working with them, try switching their simcards to ur phone.. and see if's working or not..
If it does.. may be it's something to do with your carier service..
Thanks mates
at least you answered my q.
But my prob is still their..........
I have few friends with this phone and some with Galaxy S phones.
Just today my friend with Ace told me he has the same problem.
On Galaxy S phones this also happened to some of us and this fixed it:
1. Check if you have the "3G" or "H" icon in the notification bar.
2. Check if you have APNdroid installed and check your settings.
3. Go to Settings-->Wireless and network-->Mobile networks-->Access Point Names and then check if there is a blue/green dot on the right side of the APN. Go into that APN, press menu button and tap on "Save". If you have more APNs (for Internet and MMS) then do this in each APN. Now go back to your home screen and wait a few seconds so that your phone reestablishes the data connection (check 1st point).
4. Ace-Froyo/GB? specific:
In Settings-->Wireless and network-->Mobile networks there is a battery saving option, this must be disabled. I think this is an option to enable 2G only (saves battery).
This solution worked on Galaxy S phones, but on my friend's Ace this didn't have any effect so the Internet and maybe MMS too don't work.
Market, YouTube, GMail, Samsung's Weather Widget all work fine.
My friend will visit me tomorrow or in few days and will try other options then.
Like factory reset, upgrade phone, return phone to carrier for a replacement/fix.
EDIT:
Also try this fix:

hidden menu from the dialer?

I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, I'm not a techie and this is my first post here... I upgraded to the s4 from the dinc2 a couple months ago. I've been searching for a hack for the stock mobile hot spot, similar to the one for the dinc (where you access the hidden menu from the dialer using #778). I can't seem to find any hidden menus on the galaxy s4. I've searched the forums and tried some of the dialer codes suggested but none of them are working. At one point, I was able to get to a screen allowing me to select either enable or disable edit mode. I selected enable but I couldn't go any further, there were no options to move forward or actually edit anything and I haven't been able to get back to it ever since. But, by getting at least that far I'm led to believe its possible for this to work If I knew what I was doing (obviously, I do not. Lol)
All other suggestions I've found have been for root but I'm not interested in rooting. Again, I'm not rooted and I'm updated to 4.3. Basically what I'm searching for is a way to access that service programming menu from the dialer on the Verizon S4... Any ideas?
Anyone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What your trying to do is possible, but is not possible without root, because in order to access the hidden menus witch are turned off by default you must edit the build.prop file that is located in the system folder of your phone witch is write protected. Now you could root your phone and then apply the edit, then after doing what you need to do just un-root the phone (if that's something your interested in doing).

Edge settings

Hi all,
The edge screen settings have disappeared from my device. There is nothing listed in settings and when I search for it nothing comes up. If I open the edge screen (contacts and apps draws) and select the settings icon all it does is return to the home screen.
My phone did an update earlier today which was something to do with the edge screen but I don't know if this is what has affected the settings as I haven't looked for them in a while.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?
My phone is stock, on O2 (UK) network and has never been rooted.
Many thanks in advance.
sounds like something got borked in the update. sadly a factory reset might be your best bet. have u powered down and rebooted your phone? my sons edge plus was having some edge issues and a simple reboot fixed it.
Many thanks for the reply sand. I just tried the reboot but it has made no difference. I'm trying not to think about a factory reset just yet, lol

Verizon Note Edge - Reactivation Lock Problems

Verizon Note Edge - Reactivation Lock Problems (Legit Samsung Account)
Ughh, so I got my Note Edge, Had it unlocked and rooted running ver 6.0.1 (was originally 5.0.1) For some reason it would not allow me to turn off the activation lock even though it was legitimately in my account, I logged into account.samsung.com and verified it. Did a master reset on phone with no help. Next thing I did was delete the samsung account and recreate it. (Probably a huge mistake). When I try to use my account to unlock the phone I keep getting 'processing failed' I have tried every flash and bypass that I've been able to find with no luck at all. I've been dinking with this for over a week now.
Contacted Samsung yesterday and basically got a runaround response from them.
I still have the email stating the device was registered to me with this IMEI but it didn't help any. I have the original simm card and have done everything with simm installed. at first the OTG cable was working but wouldn't still wouldn't let me turn the lock off. Now it won't even pop up file manager when I conect the OTG cable.
I don't care how I get this lock off of here but can someone point me in the right direction for something that is currently working either through samsung or any other alternative means. Am so frustrated at the moment.
Same issue here. Help!!
Man, i cant beleive this isnt possible? I still have the phone sitting here because i have stuff on it i need. Anyone? Any solutions at all? It's not the google lock but the samsung lock.
What helped me with my note edge I found on technocaretricks website it is Samsung account bypass/reset solution for all models. Also watching a quick utube video or 2. (Sorry cudn't post links)
Hope it helps

Question Odd carrier "Skin" in Galaxy A52 settings and removal

So, I have kind of an odd question. I recently purchased a used A52 5g off ebay for a relative. It was a carrier unlocked (previously cricket) phone. When the phone arrived, everything was fine. The phone was spotless and unlocked. However, as I set it up, I discovered very slightly off things with the settings menus. First, the quick access button for Mobile Data was not present, seemingly removed/hidden by cricket. From online information, it seems like this can be easily rectified with ADB. However, the phone also appeared to be using potentially a custom updater or other custom menus in settings. We do not want the phone to receive updates when cricket sees fit and we'd vastly prefer to simply receive samsung updates. Would changing the CSC fix this issue? and if not, what would? We'd prefer not to root the phone but if it comes to it, we are aware we might need to. We mainly want to still keep using knox, a difficult task when knoxs gets triggered by rooting and other such actions. Thanks for any advice!
If pictures would help, I can get pictures of the custom icon on the software updater, the custom menu it opens, and the modified wireless screen.
