Can anyone help in enabling LTE Band 3 & 5. Both these bands are present but how to enable them is the question

I found a way to lock LTE bands without Root in Redmi K20 miui 12 android 10. As Jio support 3 band in India i.e Band 5 (850 MHz), Band 3 (1800 MHz) and Band 40 (2300 MHz)
Best coverage: Band 5 > Band 3 > Band 40
Best speed: Band 40 > Band 3 > Band 5
Procedure to Lock Band 40 :-
1. Download QuickShortcutMaker
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut
2. Search Band and select set radio band mode
3. Choose LTE B40 and Turn on selection
This will result in Higher speed at the cost of less coverage

Note : This is Temporary way to lock, it will reset with device restart/airplane toggle . You need root to permanently lock bands. ?
I use Xiaomi Red mi note 7. I applied this method. But when I select the band 1 the phone run with band 1 takes up to 30 seconds then change itself immidately band 7. With Band 1 I get 70 mbits download but Band 7 I get only 5 mbits :/
Tried this on my Mi 9T Pro and it doesn't create a shortcut for the Radio Bands. It just closes the app and no shortcuts appear on my app drawer.

Check if you selected preferred band 1, or
band 1. It appears both options in the menu.

I also face the same issue, you can do try run option every time. Shortcut making is not working in my android 10 but I can directly run the command from that app.
Carrier aggregation won't work if we do this. Means 4g+ won't work
Thanks this solve my network probs
Miui 12
Its works only for sec and change itself automatically either choosing preferred band or band alone
But on mtk processor its works exactly what we do
My radio settings were under phone services > set radio band mode. Just need a root for headunit ownice K7
Finger crossed for head unit owners out there who run android head units
One day it crossed my mind that this is a OEM based rom after all and it should have secret dialer codes. So what did I do? I downloaded and app from Google Play called Secret Codes by Itools Network. The app lists all secret codes by manufacturer but I wanted to know TCL Secret codes. On the top right of the app is a # symbol. Tap it and you will see all the devices secret codes.
"Proceed at own risk, I am not responsible if you mess up your device!"
Dialer Secret secret code *#*#7862732#*#* brings up the UI for ARDA the com.tct.cellular.arda apk.
Depending if you have a T799B or T799H (dual sim version) you might have different LTE Bands set by default. On USA T799B variant: default selected bands are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 , 8, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 28, 38, 40, 41. The box of the phone mentions band 66 but as you can see you will not see it in the menu for some reason.
Navigate to:
Antenna and RF > LTE Band Selection
Enjoy your new unlocked LTE bands. Once you exit the menu the settings should stay.
I still have to test this myself, an app I recommend: LTE Discovery for google play, it will show you what LTE Band you are on. From here on you can enable logging mode which will keep a log in the background as of what lte band you are connected to.

That's an awesome find!
I got this oppo and 5G not working (not even an option to select in sim options), i tried 3 different sims, no 5G.
I have the Vivo X Fold and 5G working great.
What can be the reason?
Look for Force LTE in the Play Store, open and select Method 2, then for your band selection scroll to the bands starting with NR.
I don't believe the changes stick after a reboot and I'm not sure we will get 5G speeds but since I have Mint (T-Mobile towers), I selected a band package with NR/LTE/GSM in it. So far I've learned NR=5G, LTE=4G, GSM=2G and I need GSM band for my calls to come through. There are many bands to choose from so play around with it but this was the ONLY way I was able to get 5G to show up in the notification bar on this phone.
Hope this helps!
I've noticed that 5ghz Wi-Fi networks are not detected on my find n no matter what I do. Only 2.4ghz networks show up. Is that normal?
I bought a cn version of gt 5g and im in philippines. We have 5g towers and sim but it still shows 4g. And the prefered network doesn't show up. Other phones are working fine. How do I fix this? Thank you.
Set Preferred Network Mode through Hidden Menu
Since the common hidden menu code does not work on our device ( *#*#4636#*#* ), there is another way we must use. 1. Download this app from the Play Store: Force LTE Only (4G/5G) 2. Launch app and choose "METHOD3: (Android 11)" 3. Under Set...
