Samsung Band Selection App - Caution!

Not sure if many of you are using Samsung phones for this, or use the app. Just a heads up for something I found on Reddit.

The author of the Samsung Band Selection on the Google Play Store has mentioned the following:

Samsung has removed the band selection screen from public access in firmware June 1 2022

Samsung has removed the band selection screen from public access in their latest firmware (June 1 2022 security patch).

That means the Samsung Band Selection app "Launch band selection" will no longer work on devices with this firmware version or newer.

Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it.

Remember to revert changes made in Samsung Network Setting before updating.
 
This is a shame as I use band selection when I'm at work to get better signal. 20+32 gets me good useable service in most places I would have dropped to unusable 3G in the past. I'm usually the one hotspotting because Vodafone and O2 don't exist at all where I work and EE is slow at best (sub 1mbps if any signal at all)

My galaxy xcover 5 updated to android 12 a few days ago but still had the May security update. This update broke the band selection app. ( its just updated to the June security update, and yes it's still broken! )

However my older A70 still running android 11 has just had the June security update applied and band selection still works.
 
My S22 still running May patch and working fine.

I guess I'll be avoiding the next one like the plague.
My Samsung Tab 8 Ultra is still on the may update and the app still works fine.

Will report back when the June update arrives.

I'm not too bothered if the new update breaks the app because it's just an experimental toy for me really and not critical for my tablet connections.

Bit of a pain for those that really benefit from the app though.(n)
