Hmm not quite sure as I have a Moto G 3rd Gen, but the code should work on the S7. I don't have to press dial as it goes straight into the menu after entering the code. Maybe someone with knowledge of Samsungs will know

What are they going to call the Cat.9 4G? Surely they're going to give it some snazzy marketable name.
We've had: 4G Double Speed 4G 4G+ They've got to call is something surely. "Super 4G" might get confused with 3's Super-Voice. "4G Ultra" maybe? Marketing wise it'd be silly not to name it something. |

Looks like the emergency network means new sites filling in the main valleys in north western Snowdonia

3CA is still classed as 4G+ as far as I'm aware so they may just leave it at that. Especially given that most areas where it will be deployed are high load areas where 3CA performance won't be much higher than 2CA in other areas.
Cat 9 is still just 50Mbps up isn't it? I'm trying to get a Netgear portable hotspot that has Cat 11 as that's 100Mbps up, although no idea when any network will support that. |

4636 doesn't work on the Galaxy S4. Tried it and it won't work.

Anyone know if the MBNL 'Dorset' cabs are 4g? An old orange monopole that hasn't been in use for many years has just received one of these shiny new cabs and is now broadcasting 3G on 234-33. The cab is marked with the orange pcs label but also says mbnl v1 on the Dorset label.

I don't know whether they have access or not but they aren't using it for Cat.9.

I have an app called Network Mode that does the same thing. As it just redirects to the phone's menu, I was wondering if there was a code (that worked on the S7) that I could use instead of the app?

Long time over due too. EE the best network for me, but only just. Massive lack of sites, but the National park hasn't helped in the past refusing a large number of applications.
I think they need to force EE to be creative with the transmitters in national parks then as a compromise. In California I saw transmitters disguised as all sorts, very good they were too! |

EE's relationship with HTC must be great, selling phones that don't exist.

OK, why doesn't my 4G work on EE? Brand new SE from EE on contract. 2G / wifi calling working fine. Not sure I've even seen 3G yet as haven't been out much. When I get 4G no data. Good signal on the phone (Totnes last night) but nothing coming through. 4G is on and set to Voice and Data. Can't do iMessage and FB and Twitter were not updating. Annoyingly I didn't turn 4G off to see if 3G is working. On 4G everything was just timing out.
Any ideas? What haven't I set up right or maybe a network fault last night? I expect it's my fault. |

Could have been a fault in Town. I didn't check it yesterday when I was there. Been off a couple times in the last few months while upgrades going on.
Also soft reset the phone just in case. |

Orange was the first UK operator in the mid 1990s to use a cell site that looked like a tree. A tree that wasn't native to the UK, but still a tree.
I believe they were by Nokia and designed around the Finland pine tree. It stands out a lot more in reality than it does in street view! |

Anyway, the tree mast on the Totnes to Avonwick road was a nice try and fits into the landscape for about 22.5 minutes in every leap year as long there is a full moon and Val Doonican is No.1 in the charts. Otherwise it looks like a giant fake Christmas tree but not as good. Better luck next time. |

There was a document that had OFCOM discuss the possibility of a 450 MHz band in the UK but they came to the conclusion that there was no demand for it. I'll try and look for it when I'm at least half awake.
![]() Both UK Broadband and Telefonica disagreed with the findings, suggesting that there could be room for Band 31 LTE in the 450MHz band in the UK, just not necessarily for handsets but for M2M and rural broadband connections. http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/bin..._Broadband.pdf http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/bin...Telefonica.pdf Now back to EE...
