How to change LTE band on Samsung S20/+/Ultra
Works on both chipsets.. I saw this tip on the board so I decided to make a clear instruction note on how to use it.
Download QuickShortCutMaker from the Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut&hl=en
Run the app:
Go to Call Settings
Then select the LAST:
Call Screening option should right after Call Screen Emergency and one up CAMERA
Click on TRY
Click on Top left menu ≡
Select Band Selection
Take a screenshot to make sure you can come back to factory settings in case you have issues.
Pick the band or bands you want, toggle the SELECTION button on the right up corner.
Go back.
You are all set.
I suggest rebooting the phone but this is totally optional.

Done that can't tell if it really made a difference though, in what way is it supposed to make a difference?

What is the best free widget to switch between 3G/2G. i know there are some widgets with multi functionality such as brightness, 2G, airplane more. Could you point me to such free widget?
Thanks!
WidgetSoid
I like widgetsoid personally, you can have alot of cool setting i use it to replace the power control widget. hope thats what your looking for.
EDIT:
Widgetsoid 2.1 and down
Widgetsoid 2.2
Give this one a whirl, takes the power widget and adds more options:

Well I tried both of the suggested ones, but when I click on to switch 2g/3G it does not switch but it brings me to the MObile Networks menu.. I do not have an option to "use 2G only". I can go in and specify a Network Mode
1) GSM/WCDMA (automatic)
2) GSM only
3) WCDMA only
Nowhere does it say 2G. So none of the one lick switch widgets that tried work..

Option 2 "GSM only" is the same thing as 2G only. Option 3 "WCDMA only" forces the phone to only use 3G networks for data.

So basically the widget does nothelp me in 1-2 clicks to switch..? I need to so it with like 4 clicks, cuz even when u select it, it gives you a warning..
android software
Due to the android set up, no widget that i know of will do it in just one click, and since the release of the Ji6 update. they took away the 2g only button and replaced it with the wcdma/gsm toggle instead. hope that helps to sort out the problem.

i really dont no for sure it there will ever really be a one click switch, but you can still switch just takes a few more clicks. thats all. just put it on gsm and thats the 2g. thats what i do when im in poor coverage areas. and your welcome hope it helps out.
I'm using Widgetsoid to switch between 2g/3g, but it still takes 4 total clicks. Is there a 1-click option available for rooted users?
Thx!
CM9 has a 2G/3G toggle in the power widget on the status bar. One click to go to 2G preferred, another click to set it back to 2G or 3G. Easy.

Any other options? I have odexed lpg, stock
Looks like you're stuck with your widget then. Unless you use something like Tasker to have it switch to 2G or 3G under certain circumstances (time/whatever) or if certain conditions are met.
Use this

Thanks, but that's still 4 CLICKS! Same as Widgetsoid.
I'm surprised there's no mod for this.....
Why don't you code one ? I'm sure the community would be eternally grateful.

LoL! I couldn't code a shortcut.
Haha ;-) Me neither.
Edit - Honestly, Tasker is as close as you're going to get to what you want if you don't want to use CM9.

I couldnt find an app either. One simple work around though. After selecting GSM/WCDMA mode, press the home button. The rule is to keep the current settings page in background. Switch it as and when necessary. All you have to do is to launch the Task Manager (like holding home key) and select the desired network mode. Still takes less than 3 touches.
Simple, not a concrete one though!
You could give a try to for example AOKP custom rom. You can customize status bar icons, there's a button to switch between the two modes.
Xposed
Just download xposed and then gravity box you can make a shortcut in there. (NOTE: This requires a custom recovery like twrp or cwm. )
Anyone knows how to access service mode in one plus x oxygen os 3.1.3? I want to change my lte bands.
You mean the menu when typing *#*#4636#*#*

Reporting that it works
Thanks
Thanks a lot for a tip
After the last Android update I did app lost its permissions and I can no longer access the settings menu. Would appreciate it if anyone has any work around as I live on the US Mexico border and I cross everyday any now my data intermittently works because it's constantly switching bands.
