S21 Samsung disabled Network Mode. NOT buying Samsung again! Hello iPhone!

[User77]

Does anyone know a currently working workaround for accessing Network Mode?  Samsung has disabled this option and FORCING ME to use slower 5g when 4g is faster in my area.  If this can't be fixed, I'm selling this phone and buying an iPhone.

It was your carrier that did it not samsung I have the same issue with my verizon Sim card
Download samsung band selector then go to the second option click on your Sim card and change it to the LTE option

I just tried this suggestion. It does not work. As soon as the app opens, the user is presented with a notice that in June 2022, Samsung made a change that prevents this app from making changes for the network

There is a workaround you have to go into Samsung band selector
More network settings
Choose the Sim and then prefer network mode

Try the Samsung Band Selection app from the Play Store.

Like @Yamialex224 and @Belaythatorder said go to Play Store download Samsung Band Selection I use this as I really have no need for the spotty 5g the 4g/LTE is fast enough and doesn't kill the battery and data as fast

Just so you know, Network Mode is controlled by your carrier.  Verizon for one disables it.  Not Samsung.
