About this app

Force 5G & 4G LTE Only Mode opens your phone's hidden network settings so you can choose a preferred network mode: 5G only (NR only), 4G LTE only, 3G or 2G. It also includes a speed test, a live network monitor and network tools.

Available modes depend on your phone, carrier and coverage. The app takes you to Android's built-in network settings screen, and you choose the mode there. It can't add 5G to a phone or plan that doesn't support it, and it doesn't guarantee faster speeds, better coverage or longer battery life.

CHOOSE YOUR NETWORK MODE

- 5G only (NR only) on phones and networks that support standalone 5G
- 4G LTE only so your phone doesn't fall back to 3G or 2G
- 3G or 2G only where those networks are still available
- Automatic: switch back any time (recommended for everyday use)
- Handy for travel and for troubleshooting mobile data

FEATURES

- Connection type: see your current network type live (5G, 4G LTE, 3G, 2G)
- Speed test: download, upload and ping against nearby servers, with history and a chart
- Network monitor: live upload and download speed in your status bar
- Data usage history: hourly, daily and monthly
- Network tools: ping, Wake-on-LAN, port scan and subnet scan
- My IP: public and local IP, ISP, country and approximate IP-based location
- Samsung hidden network settings on Galaxy phones (Android 11 and later, where available)
- Quick Settings tile and home screen widgets
- Device info: CPU, RAM and storage

HOW TO SET LTE ONLY OR 5G ONLY

2. Open the menu and choose "Band Selection"

Some Samsung firmware versions block this screen.

REAL-TIME NETWORK MONITOR

- Live upload and download speed in your status bar
- Hourly, daily and monthly data usage
- Show speed in bits/s or bytes/s, with several icon styles
- Turn it off any time in the app

GOOD TO KNOW

- Requires Android 7.0 or later
- Some phones, firmware versions and carriers hide or block these settings
- In a single-network mode your phone has no signal where that network isn't available. 5G only (NR only) also needs a standalone 5G network
- Calls in LTE-only or 5G-only mode need VoLTE or VoNR support from your phone and carrier
- Changing the network mode can briefly interrupt calls and mobile data
- Switch back to Automatic in the same screen any time

PRIVACY

- Speed test history and settings stay on your device, and in your Android backup if you turn backup on
