Samsung

  • 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: https://www.cellmapper.net/mw/index.php/Cellmapper_Field_Test_Reader
  • Most Samsung Phones do not support Cell ID API 4.2.
  • 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.
