Band selection mode was a really helpful service,with that users were able to make their phones fixed to a partivular band which works in their area.But Samsung disabled it,now i am finding it difficult to use internet in some areas because my phone constantly changes to band which doesn't work in this area.I request Samsung to re enable this feature again.

Use NetMonster app from play store for band selection.

There is still possible to access the menus.

You need to install  Allinace Shild X from Play Store. Once you are registered and logged in:

 Open the App Manager.

Look for com.samsung.android.app.telephonyui and click on it.

Go-to Activities.

Scroll down to com.samsung.android.app.telephonyui.hiddennetworksettings.MainActivity.

Click on it and choose Open.

There is now everything you'll need.

 

NOTE: the app need Admin and Knox rights for this to work.

It may not be enabled as lot of people change the band to some unsupported type by accidentally tapping on the wrong band as there is no warning. There is select radio band in netmonster. If you even accidentally tap USA, it will be rendering your phone useless and it will be very difficult even for experts to revert back to the defaults. Even experts have accidentally done this mistake. 1700717446159.jpg1700717446181.jpg
