[GUIDE] Lock LTE BANDS without root [Android 10/Q] - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio
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

How to Enable LTE Band 3 & 5
Can anyone help in enabling LTE Band 3 & 5. Both these bands are present but how to enable them is the question Raju
Stuck on Band 12
Hey All, I unfortunately messed around with the LTE Band Settings on my LG V30 - US 998 (US Cellular) in the hidden menu and am now worried that the phone is locking to specific bands. Right now, no matter how many times I reset network settings and restart the phone, it will only lock to one band (12 or 4). The lock is dependent on which LTE Band Setting I select. Anyone know where in the hidden menu I can reset the band selection? Any help would be appreciated.
[Honor 9N] How to enable LTE only option in settings.
Honor 9N is a latest budget phone from Huawei Honor. For Indian customers, it comes with network settings as 4 options ( LTE/WCDMA/GSM Auto), (WCDMA, GSM Auto), (WCDMA only) and (GSM only). While the network signal is weak we don't get LTE band as it jumps down to the lower signal WCDMA or GSM. Here I will explain how to enable LTE only option in settings. Steps: Download the app : Settings database editor Scroll down and look for "hw_networkmode_preference" and change its value from "9,3,2,1" to "9,3,2,1,11". save it. Then restart your device. Now the LTE only option will be available in Settings > Mobile Network. Remember one thing : You will no longer receive or make a call when you are in LTE only signal. It's because only Jio supports 4G calls (VoLTE). If you are using any other Network Service like Vodafone In, Idea... Etc, use LTE only option only when it's needed and change into ( LTE/WCDMA/GSM Auto) later to receive calls. Thanks.:victory:

Values : 9,3,2,1,11,12 Gives : LTE/WCDMA/GSM Auto WCDMA/GSM Auto WCDMA Only GSM Only LTE Only LTE/WCDMA Auto
Changing LTE bands I bought Honor 9N in India. To my disappointment, I cannot use it with T-Mobile in the U.S. Is there any way to change it? (Full confession: My knowledge of software/hardware is pretty poor)

Question 5G not working
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?
