Tmobile Note 8 on Verizon - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

I purchased my device directly from Samsung and T-Mobile unlocked it.
I switched shortly after to Verizon due to them having better coverage at my apartment. Well, its been a world of "don'ts" since getting with them and in 2-3 months I will be switching back to T-Mobile. I'd rather have spottier service but be able to have carrier billing on my one-line business account, video calling, and T-Mobile Tuesdays.
I am hoping someone can help me remedy the video calling issue. When i went into the Verizon store to switch my phone was plastered in tmobile firmware and bloatware. When I left, my phone was booting with the verizon logo and all the verizon bloatware appeared. How can i get video calling to work? I've checked my online account and there are no blocks. I've called Verizon and their explanation was it won't work due to it being non-carrier branded but they confirmed advanced calling was indeed active and enabled on my account already. I tried the shortcut lite app and get the su error, and I've tried the nova launcher activity widget to get to ims settings and it says permission denied. Any help? Please? I really miss my video calling.

So let me see if I'm understanding this right.
Your T-Mobile branded Note 8 was flashed by Verizon but you're trying to use it back on T-Mobile?
Have you tried a a factory reset?
If this doesn't work, you can try Samsung Smart Switch from your computer and do a recovery of your firmware.
Keep in mind, you'll loose all your data.

The phone automatically does that. It's called BYOD.

Check the apn, data will work with the right data settings, but if the MMSC is incorrect, mms won't.
Also some carriers require additional proxies, etc.

But I called them to get the settings, should I try getting ones from my other phones see if that works? I don't think it will but I'll try.
Edit: tried settings from my se but still didn't work, once some aosp roms come out (like sportstars cm9 or 10) ill try with those - don't get me wrong, I can live with this, it would be excellent if I could get it working

Do you have a MMS plan w/ Rogers?
It's automatically includes because tbaytel bought rogers out in the 807 NPA but really its just rogers with added cdma and lte, and a different name, better prices, etc. (five gigs of data, yay)

[Q] International Use: "No GSM/UTMS networks were found"

Hi Friends:
I bought used MoPho 4g to use overseas (stock 2.3.5 rooted). I popped in a VN sim but the phone tells me that no GSM/UTMS networks were found.
I switch to Global mode, but that still does not make the GSM detected.
The foreign sim works on another unlocked feature phone, so I know the account/SIM is good. When I go to the security settings to do a SIM lock (just to see), it says that no SIM is found.
In any case, I would think even if no SIM is found, that the phone should detect a GSM network, but it does not.
Thoughts?
You could have switched baseband. Try to reflash radio with RSD Lite. But first read, before flashing. Read twice or more.
Start in Photon Compendium thread and then 2.3.5 sv2 custom sbf thread.
Before playing with ROM flashing, confirm you have correct network mode:
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode. Try choosing Any GSM/UMTS network and wait a couple of minutes. You may also try to choose Automatic.
I use it for gsm in the US and find that it sees the network better if I set it to automatic.

Yes, I set the network settings to both GSM and automatic. Both cannot detect the GSM network.
It looks like there are no other options, so I will look into flashing the baseband again.

have you checked that block roaming options aren't checked? happened to me a couple times. when you switch to GSM/UMTS mode, roaming block (block calls, data and sms) options activate by default.
Roaming guards are unchecked. Still can't get a gsm signal.
Thanks.

If you are (still) using Sprint, you need to call their international team to enable international roaming/usage (even if you are not using Sprint SIM).
This happened to me when I went to Germany. I had to call them from there (via VOIP) and I was able to use Simyo prepaid.

Hi Axelfox,
Were your questions answered and are you able to get on a GSM network yet? You can PM me if you like, I am currently in VN and using MobiFone SIM card with their unlimited 3G for $3/mo. Which SIM are you using?
Try this, go to the Google Play market and download an APN manager such as:
Offline SIM APN Database
Tweakker APN Internet MMS
APN Manager Pro
-GP
Thanks to all. I was not able to call Sprint to activate international roaming, but that is good to know. It was my understanding that it was internationally unlocked out of the box and I could just pop in the sim.

4g+ on xiaomi mi a3 EUR?

hello is it possible to have the 4g + on the European version of xiaomi mi a3? because I only capture the 4g
I have the same question.
For turn on the volte write this code in dialer app *#*#86583#*#*
It's just the Google One UI, you are getting 4G+ don't worry.
The Google One UI tries to simply everything by not bombarding you with + or VoLTE signs etc, however they can be enabled using service settings if you really want to take up preacious space on your notification bar.
You can confirm what signal you're getting and the speed with free apps from the Play store.
after the October and November update, the problem of lack LTE+/4G+/Carrier Aggregation is still not resolved.
anyone know if xiaomi is working on a patch?
I have EU version.
On my simcard LTE+ works with Mi 8 lite
What's 4G+/LTE+ and how to check if I have it?
Is it the enhanced LTE mode (voice calls over data)?
4G+/LTE+ is implementation of LTE-A standard, involves carrier aggregation, 4x4 MIMO, etc. It's more about data rather than voice over LTE. I have 4G+ in my area while VoLTE is disabled.

Probably Mi A3 just misses the specific carrier profile and uses a generic profile not 100% compatible with that specific carrier. I have another carrier profile issue, when I enable VoLTE I cannot send SMS. Because the generic carrier profile assumes SMS over IP/IMS when VoLTE enabled, while my carrier uses some perverted setup where SMS still sent over signalling. I doubt Xiaomi will rush adding/updating carrier profiles. If you have root you can change carrier profile with QPST PDC tool.
it is possible to change the carrier profile without root??
If you mean changing carrier profile using that Qualcomm PDC tool then nope. You need set "setprop sys.usb.config diag,serial_cdev,rmnet,adb", but it's impossible w/o root since Android 8.
I rooted and tried to enable interband carrier aggregation using this guide. Everything seemed to work fine, but I still don't get 4G+. Anybody was successful with this, maybe following a different procedure?

CA works great using B3, B7, and B28, didn't modify anything, using it as it came from the box; 3CA supported, tested using • NetMonster, just a reminder, some carriers are known to not be able to trigger device status bar icon (4G+/VoLTE) even though there's support; I recommend using the app above, if you see LTE-A, there's 4G+ connection.

Seems to work for me.
It also works for me, but only when wifi is connected. When I disable wifi, Netmonster says I'm connected to only one band, I think that's why I never see the 4G+ sign in the status bar.

I never see 4G+ just 4G.
Xiaomi Mi A3 support only Contiguous CA: https://cacombos.com/device?model=M1906F9SH - so thats why you maybe don't see 4G+ in your network because most of network do Non-Contiguous CA.
before the update to Android 10, the speed was very good with 4G +, but since only 4G appears, the speed dropped considerably
I'm from Mexico, with Telcel, Mi A3 Global
I leave images with the speeds
Has anyone with the European version for Android 10 managed to run operator aggregation?
hi i have same problem with original rom 4g+ ok but with pixel experience rom i have lost 4g+ blocked in 4g

Question: Does voice work on LTE network? or just data??

I have an unlocked G900T. This is the T-Mobile version S5 but I use it on the AT&T network (since AT&T didn't offer an unlocked version of the S5).
I keep getting messages from AT&T saying they are shutting down their 3G network in February 2022 and my phone will no longer work.
I know my data uses the 4G (LTE) but don't know about voice.
My modem version is G900TUVU1GQC2.
Does anyone know:
-will voice work when the 3G network is turned off?
-if not, is there newer modem firmware I could flash that would support voice on 4G/5G?
Thanks!
EDIT: Looks like I've answered my own question!
After searching my settings, I was finally able to find this, which shows my voice service is on the LTE network:

Beware... Cricket (the AT&T MVNO) customers are facing some whitelisting/blacklisting based on IMEIs, and the G900T didn't pass their test. My wife switched her G900T for another G900T earlier this month, and her account was immediately suspended upon starting the new phone with her SIM in it. Had to call customer service to get the account re-activated. Her status screen says the same as your screenshot about LTE, but Cricket is killing accounts when the SIM is placed in a phone they don't think supports VoLTE. Absolutely rotten approach to network phase-out, for multiple reasons... I don't know if AT&T will eventually do similar or if this is Cricket's unique idiocy. I advise caution if you replace your G900T with another though.
With LineageOS, I see the following when I am in a call:
Mobile voice network type:
UMTS
Mobile data network type:
HSPA+
When I am not in a call, I see the same thing as you posted.
You should check what it states for your SIM Status while you are in a call.

Question T-Mobile USA Volte and VoWifi support?

Hey XDA, is USA model XQBC62 work with T-Mobile Volte and VoWifi?
PS: my old Xperia5 II wasnt able to work and returned back to Sony week later (sad)
VoLTE works but there isn't an option for Wifi calling that I see
got an answer from SONY
We received your inquiry regarding the Xperia 1 III XQBC62 and we appreciate the opportunity to help you.
In regards to your inquiry, we kindly inform you that the compatibility of VoLTE or VoWifi will depend on the operator network. Sometimes, your phone must be operator-branded and/or use operator-customized system software to be able to use VoLTE or VoWIFI. All recent Xperia phones (like Xperia 1 III or Xperia 5 III) are enabled to receive those services by default, however, if the operator devices to give that service to certain models only, it will be necessary to contact T-Mobile as they have to provide you with the list of phones that will work with those services.
This is a known "issue" with T-Mobile as well as all the other carriers. The reasoning behind this is sound for the vast majority of people. If you have a cell signal then VoLTE will work and so will using cell service to make an actual phone call. VoWIFI is for those occasions when you do not have a cell signal at all and you need to make a call over WIFI. Try calling T-Mobile and see if they will provision your phone to use VoWIFI. YMMV
As a workaround, I use T-Mobile's app "DIGITS" for calling over Wi-Fi.

Have you tried to make a call over Wi-Fi? Does it actually work?
like put phone into airplne mode and calling someone from wifi only?

Well, yes, that is a sure way to make sure calls are going through Wi-Fi and not cellular. I'm am asking because prior I had another unsupported phone on T-Mobile. I did a similar hack to enable Wi-Fi Calling in settings and turned it on, but in airplane mode could not make a call over Wi-Fi.
How easy is it to edit the build file?
Hoping to find a work around for Australian Telco's as Volte is compatible but it doesn't work on the 1 iii.
