- For Snapdragon chipset devices, you can easily unlock all bands supported by the hardware instead of being limited to only the ones your carrier allows. For more information see this XDA post.
- You can lock bands on most newer Samsung phones in ServiceMode (not tested on MediaTek chipset devices) by dialing *#2263# in the stock dialer app.
- For US devices, 5G NSA band detection is dependent on CSC.
- Most Samsung Phones do not support Cell ID API 4.2 before Android 8. If you use a stock or custom Samsung Experience ROM (TouchWiz/OneUI) based on Android 8.0 "Oreo" or later, please use the Android 4.2+ CellID API. Note: This may not work on custom Samsung Experience ROMs ported from other devices than your own, or based on newer versions of Android than is officially available in stock Samsung Experience updates for your device. If you use a custom Samsung Experience ROM, please make sure it is based upon an official Samsung Experience stock ROM from your device model. Custom ROMs not based upon stock, such as LineageOS or ResurrectionRemix may not work for the 4.2+ CellID API.
- In some devices Cell ID API 4.2 may show extra data compared to the old API, but most important parameters are invalid or missing. Do not use Cell ID API 4.2 for cellmapping, if the chart below displays your device incompatible. Failing to do so may cause invalid data being displayed on the map.
- To force 2G/3G/4G LTE only mode on samsung phones, The easy way is an app called Advanced Signal Status however on certain samsung phones with 4.4.4 KitKat or newer, including Lollipop 5.x, it is also possible by dialing *#*#4636#*#*, then Device Information, and "Set preferred network type". This may require root on certain carriers. Tested and does not require root on AT&T (310-410).
- To force an LTE Band on Samsung phones running 4.4.4, It is possible by dialing *#0011# > Back > INPUT type Q > INPUT 0000 wait for 15 seconds then you into Band Mode.
- Most Samsung phones can be rooted with CF-Auto-Root 2G/3G/4G bands can be locked using Network Signal Guru but only with most qualcomm chipset. Remember to set "Read qualcomm LTE data (root) under cellmapper app settings, exit and reload cellmapper and allow permissions for cellmapper.
- (Warning: feature deprecated since 5.1.4) Most Samsung phones support reading bands and frequency when Service Mode (*#0011#) is active. Using this feature you need to run Cellmapper in the background and have Service Mode in the foreground. That feature working with root and without. Please check manual here.
