You can choose the network mode, such LTE only. Other option is bands selection i.e. band lock.

you can change it from es explorer settings.

Tap on the three lines in the upper left corner. scroll down till you see "Root Explorer" make sure its toggled on, also tap on the same option you'll see the permissions option. you'll be able to change it from there.

Finally with Android 10 update on galaxy note 10 plus in Europe the hidden network settings are searchable again with shortcut master. The problem is again it's only working on the first sim card slot and not on the 2 sim! This is really frustrating does any one have a solution how to be able to at least have lte only on sim slot 2 on Android 10 Samsung devices without root?

In the description of hiddennetworksetting.apk, the android version is at least 6.0.
I have installed it on samsung s6, android 6.0.1. Does not work. (((

I am getting fail for selecting a network and band selection. Using a G955U on Visible. Any Ideas on why all options fail?

Personally I wouldn't play around with these settings. I did it a while back on my OnePlus 7 Pro and couldn't remember the default settings. I was without signal for quite a while it was a headache for no real gain or reward.

I have nothing against you, but if you don't know what you're changing, then why are you doing it?

It is difficult to mess things up in these settings, as it is merely an extension of the network modes in regular settings menu. Moreover, they can be reset to default easily.

Practical use can be, how I use it, is to select the lte bands in such a way that in specific location connection to a particular mast can be maintained. E.g. by deselecting B1 my phone remains steadily connected to mast A with CA enabled and high throughput. If I leave B1 on my phone is constantly switching connection between mast A and mast B, resulting in slower connection.
