Add LTE bands To samsung S5 for Relaince 4g

Recommended Posts

Hello frnds

Have just heard that we can add LTE bands to samsung s5, by flashing custom Rom and kernel

So we can add lte band 3,5,40 for Reliance jio and use 4g on the same handset rather than changing handset

Just passed through this site and for to know

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059

Had ny1 tried or any idea regarding this thing.

Thank you.

You can add bands but phone firmware will not allow for work band

End of the day, even if this is JIO ready, you need the JIO join app for voice to work, from what I've last heard. Will that allow calls to non Jio-join app contacts???

Jio join is more of a dialer like application which routs voice on data. So if one doesn't have VoLTE handset, jio join will allow voice services on LTE connection

^^^ But can you then call anyone? Or only 'Jio Join' app users, on the lines of Viber & WhatsApp?

Yes, I have similar doubts.. Whether call wait, call forward works on Jio Join or not? Whether the "Jio Join" call disconnects when another call comes via 2G on another SIM?? But it can make offnet calls, but NOT so sure...

by using JIO JOIN APP on non LYF phones, you can call any phone in india.  Provided you are not using Preview invitee SIM

In order to use the reliance 4g on my sprint note 4 

I am trying to use my airtel 4g the phone goes in international mode and no data

Is there any way we can have lte only setting so that i can use sprint phone for reliance 4g

you can enable required bands via dfs/qxdm but on sprint phone it won't work, by default sprint doesnt have network parameters for band 40 and band 3.. instead it have parameters for 26 and 41..nvitem for band 3, 40 arent active. 

you can get those parameters from same variant which have band 40 and band 3.

again, sprint have network roaming policies which doesnt allow us to connect to 4g. so there is something call as policyman in every sprint phone, that too needed to be patched. 

Nothing is impossible. Just highly unlikely..

I have already enabled lte band 1800mhz and disabled others using DFS, but no use.

u can also enable the bands using hidden service menu.

planning to switch to cm13 + custom kernel build to check

are u getting at least 3g in note 4?

Most if not all sprint phone support band 26 and hence band 5 as well. The best 4g signal for jio and only 4g signal for reliance 4g is on band 5.
I am using Rcom 4g on sprint note 5 without any issues.
