How to Lock the 4G Network on Samsung Phones - Having an unstable network is quite annoying. In addition to inhibiting access to the internet, changing networks can make the device's battery run out quickly. But fortunately, you are using an Android device, you can lock the network as desired.
For devices with an old operating system, you can even set it through the Settings page, then enter the Cellular Network menu.
And on some new devices, such as devices made by ASUS or Xiaomi, you only need to use the dial code *#*#4636#*#* to display device info, to lock the network to the expected network.
But this is very different from Samsung devices. Even though on older devices you can use the same method, but for new devices you cannot use dial codes to lock the network. Of course, this mode is disabled by Samsung, so you need to use third-party applications to do it.
In more detail, you can follow the review of How to Lock 4G Networks on the following Samsung phones.
Please note, this application can only be used for Samsung devices that support 4G networks. So don't try to lock the 4G network on devices that don't support it.
