[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] farookh:
As per 4pda now users with Snapdragon S20 5g phones can activate and use 5g in the rest of the world.

Posting the method taken from the Russian site.

1. It is necessary to remove the white list of networks in which 5G works (it is not known what kind of networks these are, but naturally, MTS is not registered there, since the device is Asian, therefore 5G was not caught).

To do this, dial * # * # 276633683782 # * # * - [5] RF TEST - Band Selection - Sim 1 - Menu three points - BACK - Menu three points - BACK - UE SETTINGS & INFO will open - PROTOCOL - GCF - REMOVE ONLY NR WHITELIST - when pressed it will say "Removed NR whitelist". Then restart the device.

2. Instructions for activating LTE and 5G bands (thanks to comrade DeifyMe, and bright minds from XDA) 1. To access the service menu, you need to download and install from the Google Phone App playmarket (Phone by Google-Caller ID & Spam Protection) 2. After the first launch the application will ask you to make it the default dialer, confirm by selecting its blue icon from the list of available ones. After manipulating the service menu, the native dialer can be returned (Settings - Applications - 3 dots in the upper right corner - Default applications - Phone) 3. Go to the application and dial * # * # 27663368378 # * # * for Android 10 and * # * # 276633683782 # * # * for Android. After pressing the last asterisk, the service menu itself will appear

#

Note: pressing the "back" button will return directly to the dialer, to return one step back in the service menu, press 3 dots in the right corner and select "Back"

4. To turn on all LTE bands, select in sequence:

1-option 2-UE Setting and Info

2-Option 1-Setting

3-Option 2-System

4-Option 9-Next Page

5-Option 9-Next Page

6-Option 9-Next Page

7-Option 9-Next Page

8-Option 1-Set LTE Band Config

9-option 1-Set Default LTE Band

This should activate all LTE bands for the firmware country and all available roaming bands that are installed in the firmware.

To activate 5G bandsgo back (after 3 dots - see note above) until you see "UE setting menu" and 2 options "Protocol" and "System", then select:

1-option 1-Protocol

2-option 9-NR5G

4-option 3-NR5G Prune Status

Here you will see [1] Remove NR5G PRUNE option on the last line. Choose this option. If you return to this menu later, you will see * next to "NR5G PRUNE is Removed" and the line will change to "[1] Restore NR5G PRUNE" if you want to return to the original state.

Now that all LTE bands are activated, you need to enable the DSS setting. Return to the "UE setting menu" where the "Protocol" and "System" items were and select:

5-option 2-NR DSS CONTROL

6-option 1-NR DSS ENABLE

Activation of aggregation of LTE bands (thanks to Chetbiz ) Attention! Some forum users had a drop in Internet speed with this setting activated, stock option: at step 6, select item 2 - PRX DRX ENABLE Starting from the very first screen after entering the service menu: 1-option 2-UE Setting and Info 2-option 1- Setting 3-option 2-System 4-option 6-DIVERSITY CONTROL 5-option 3-LTE DIVERSITY CONTROL 6-option 6-LTE 4RX ALL ENABLE After that, just restart the phone and this is the procedure for activating LTE and 5G bands, as well as enabling DSS , completed!
