=== Use new Android 4.2 Cell ID API ===
Default: off (Some latest phones have on by default)
This will use the new cellid API for Android 4.2 and newer phones. Cellid API 4.2 provide more accurate band information from cellular network and band information when phone support that. <span style="color:#ff0000"> This doesn't work most Samsung, Huawei and Mediatek Phones before Android 8. </span>
Some manufacture like Samsung not implement new Android Cell ID API in their phones. Also some phones have issues with Android 4.2 API. So we recommended check your phone support on our page. If your phone not in list, please contact to our support with email so we can add to list.
Please check your phone support [https://www.cellmapper.net/Tested_Phones here].
