GUIDE Activate 5G [LGW]

[techinbermudas]

If you hit with the phone dialpad this sequence:

  

Code:

#*462633*#100#

 
it will lead you to a hidden menu where you can find all sort of information and tweaking options.

You have to choose Field Test > Modem settings. You will have here many things you can change.
Go to RAT Selection, "SIM 1 Mode" (if you have only 1 SIM or if it's the one you want to go up to 5G speeds),
it will give you many more options than the ones you find under the regular Network settings.
So just select the GSM/WCDMA/LTE/NR5G option.You should have now 5G automatic network selection!

Only issue is that under the regular Mobile Network settings, "Preferred network" states now "26" and if I want to see what other options you have,
it only lists the options up to 4G preferred and it will go back to 4G maximum if you choose it.
So you have to go through the hidden menu again to activate it.

You may also try to tweak your 5G bands by selecting them in the corresponding menu Band Selection in the Field Test and Modem Settings menu.
Some of them might not really work as it might be hardware related depending on your model.
