Question about LG Velvet

How to activate 5G in Switzerland on the LG Velvet: Despite numerous updates (now Andoid 11), LG still hasn't deigned to offer the 5G option in the network settings. So here's how to do it manually via a hidden menu: - Type in the code #*462633*#900# on the phone's dialer, as if you wanted to call someone. - In the hidden menu that appears, select "Field Test", then "Modem Settings". A list of setting options is now available for the network. - Choose "RAT Selection" which will give you the options of which network generation you want your Velvet to connect to. - Select "GSM/WCDMA/LTE(5GNSA) Auto". And there you have it, your Velvet will now be able to connect to 5G if available where you are! I'm on Sunrise with an NLD Velvet, model LM-G900EM under Android 11. It also works for the LG Wing (secret code to type with ...*#100# at the end, which is the LG phone model number). Only hitch, now under the settings "Network and Internet" / "Mobile networks" / "Network mode" in the settings appears the number "26" under "Preferred network mode". And in the options you still only find "2G/3G/4G automatic" at maximum. You will have to go back to the hidden menu to reactivate 5G if you select an option in this menu. I really don't understand the logic of LG to propose a phone stamped 5G without the 5G option... Yet everything works, under Sunrise anyway. ABE
