2:18 and no alert - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Did anyone using T-mobile get the test emergency alert at 2:18? My S9+ remained totally silent across 2:18 when other phones all over the building were howling. (Could this have anything to do with it using wifi for calling rather than 4G?)

I have T-Mobile and received the alert. No idea why you wouldn't though. You couldn't opt out it as every major carrier in the US was alright with it. Consider yourself lucky I guess lol

My wife has an iPhone 6 and I have the S9+ on T-Mobile and we did not receive the alerts either. If the world were to end and us not be notified then ignorance is bliss...

People can't hear me incoming/outgoing calls occasional glitch

Anyone else have this issue.
I have a problem when people call or when I call them. It only happens sometimes, but I can hear them and they can't hear me. I thought maybe it had something to do with using google maps/gps or a problem with google voice. It happens on my normal # and my google voice #.
Anyone else have this problem. I am rooted, had stock, stock debloated, and now Virus ROM, and it has happened on all 3. Should I go back to stock and go request a new phone from verizon?
I would, just for the fact that you will get a NEW phone, not a like-new phone. You know you can root it and get everything back, might as well get a brand new phone while you can.
Check their carrier. I have always had this when people with ATT call me on Verizon. I'm not sure which carrier as at fault .. but I haven't had this issue with anyone that didn't have ATT. And my friends sub ATT have had this issue only with Verizon. Seems weird, but I've noticed this happening to a large group of my friends ... And it just started to happen recently. Happened on my dinc and its still happening on my thunderbolt

Verizon is overnighting me a new phone today, so problem will hopefully be solved.

AT&T can't call, signal drop

So recently my phone has been acting strange. When I try to make a phone call I get no dial tone then the call ends. But sometimes it goes through. Sometimes the signal bars will drop and then I'll get the no service icon. Then again other times the signal will drop then switch to E and the call will go through.
I've tried multiple radios and builds, and now I'm back on stock hoping AT&T will get me a new phone.
Any ideas or suggestions concerning the issue or trying to convince AT&T I didn't mess with the phone?

So after trying to get my issue fixed at an on site corporate ATT, I could not replicate my issue because they probably have a cell booster in the building haha. So they gave me a new SIM card which did jack.
A couple days later, I contacted support online which did some troubleshooting with me. Then I was asked about warranty... I told the truth: unlocked, rooted, custom Rom, stock, unrooted, relocked.
Apparently this was not an issue. As long as there was no screen damage and the water marker was good, they said I was covered, which surprised me but maybe I'm just under informed.
So they sent me a new HOX+ and I sent my old one back to them. Now my issue is completely resolved, for now... I've heard many go through the same back and forth with these devices

Or may be finally they woke up....
In India at least we can do whatever we want to do with our devices (software wise)... and warranty is still covered . And technically it should!

A little late to this, but I am having the same issue in southern US. Made a thread about it, but no responses. I never found your thread because I was looking to specific I suppose. I determined that the HSPA antenna actually failed on my phone. You can have full LTE signal then when you make a call you get one bar of EDGE
This makes my FOURTH AT&T HOX+. First one had a loose speaker that buzzed. Second had a radio issue that caused random static and interference during calls. Third one has this problem. Let's hope fourth is a winner. Gah, I used to love HTC, but four of the same phones with manufacturing defects?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S5 losing network connectivity

My wife and I both have brand new Galaxy S5s, and we both intermittently experience this problem. One of us will send a text message to the other, the text will show as being sent, but the other person doesn't receive it. If the person set to receive the message reboots their phone, the message comes through (as well as any other "pending" messages), and normal phone use continues for a few days until this issue returns. Rebooting seems to always fix the issue temporarily.
This of course is not limited to just communication between our phones, but I was using that as an example. Often times, I'll reboot my phone, and realize I have 3 new text messages, and 2 voicemails from yesterday. Very frustrating.
Phone calls are also affected. When these symptoms are present, phone calls cannot be placed or received until the phone is rebooted. Incoming calls go directly to voicemail.
The worst part of it is, there is no easy way to tell our phones are not connected to the network. The reception status shows good connectivity. Most of the time we're connected to wifi, so email and browsing the internet still work.
I'm just wondering if other people are experiencing this, or have any suggestions of some things we can try. Thanks for the help.

@Skyrocket2
Well, that was very timely. I'm glad they released a fix the same day I decided to ask for help. I appreciate the link, and I'll install it and see how it works out. Cheers.
The update killed a lot of people's data speeds. I made a ticket with t-mobile techs. I suggest anyone else with bad data speeds after the new update do the same.

Yep. Mine is down to 1 now. I have several tickets already open with them. This phone has been nothing but trouble.
I had the same issue. went to the T-Mobile store and they told me it was a problem with the isis sim card. They replaced it with a non isis sim and all is good now.

From what I know T-Mobile doesn't care if your phone is rooted because you're not doing any warranty service. If that was the case they will probably tell you that its voided.. I have seen a few that root their own phones at their job so I doubt it'll be a problem. But I guess every T-Mobile store isn't the same..

Yes this is the exact problem I had with last GS5. Tmobile replaced it and I still have this problem with the new GS5. The tried to tell me it was just how the old GS5 settings were set. They had me do Factory reset many times, it never helped. Now with the replacement GS5 the exact same problem. Like you everything looks great on the display. I would just get calls on my home line wanting to know why I never answer my mobile phone. The only thing that helps me is a restart but it is only temporary. Do you know if they have released a fix for this problem?

Since upgrading the latest firmware, we have not experienced the problems again. We've been having good service since then. I would definitely suggest you get the latest firmware.
guys, i have the latest firmware and the same problem... any solution or fix?

The only thing it seems the tmobile employees know how to do is a factory reset .. That is their solution for about everything . Like the other guy said they dont handle warranty . That is for your samsung warranty when knox is tripped . If you have handset protection nothing voids it from what i have seen . I think tmobile would rather replace a rooted phone than one with a cracked screen .

Cross Carrier HD/VoLTE Rollout

Gentleman, Cross carrier HD Voice / VOLTE appears to finally be a real thing.
A few minutes ago I had my first HD VOLTE call with my mother. I'm Verizon/N6p, She's ATT/Iphone6. We're both in Brevard County Florida
A quick googlin' shows they are rolling this out in select markets.
Anyone else seeing this with other carriers or other areas?

I didn't know this was a real thing. I'm in orange country FL. I'll def pay attention to this. It would explain why I lost VOLTE for a couple of days if towers were being upgraded
Would this apply to those on Project Fi?

Only if Sprint, T-Mobile and US Cellular are on the list for the roll-out.
Then again, does Project Fi even support VoLTE already? T-Mobile does and we are using T-Mobile's technology after all.
Being that Project FI is technically just SIP over data, they COULD support an HD wideband codec. But to my knowledge they do not support any type of Wide band codec. And by default technical Voice over LTE is impossible as all Project Fi voice is technically Voice over IP.
Also. I have verified with multiple VZW and ATT customers. Calls from ATT > VZW turn up in HD. Calls VZW > ATT do NOT turn up in HD. I called VZW to question them. And the teir 2 support person I got was clueless and I didn't have time to argue the matter with her. I'll follow up with them later tonight and see if true two way HD call setup is on the road map or just currently broken. Assuming I can fight my way to someone competent.

Knowing Verizon they probably turned that function off in all of their handsets and want customers to pay a premium
Update: I spoke to VZW support regarding it not working when calling ATT customers, But it working when ATT customers call us. They insisted HD calling doesn't work to ATT users. I explained the info they have in their script is out dated. And insisted they open an NRB ticket for me. Ticket Number #8466364 if anyone wants to open a ticket as well and reference mine.
Currently I have a Nexus 6p I use on AT&T. Last I checked ATT does not support HD voice / Volte for phones that are not branded by att or iphones. Anyone know if the news posted by @NickOlsen8390 will enable HD calling for those of using unlocked phones on att?
I'm going to guess it will not @jimmiekain
ATT still only supports HD voice on their small subset of handsets. One of the reasons I switched from ATT to Verizon when I got my N6P. When I switched at that time (They let me out of contact for it), They said they had no plans to support HD Voice/VOLTE on "BYOD" (Bring your own device)

thanks. :crying:
Finally got an Update to my Verizon NRB ticket. They basically said they don't support call setup to any other carrier with the AMR-WB codec at this time, However they will accept it from any carrier that wants to send it. I suspect in the coming months this will chance as HD Voice begins to roll out between more and more carriers. Guess We'll just have to wait and see.
Interesting. Does I am not sure about cross network HD calls but I leave my Verizon Nexus 6P's enhanced calling feature off because I drop calls every time I switch from 4g to 3g or anything else. It's brutal while driving. Verizon has so much work to do to get that feature working properly.
The unfortunate part is that we can not access data while on a call with enhanced calling turned off. ?

Constant missed calls on G965U - very frustrating...help

Hello
My wife's T-Mobile S9+ continues to have missed calls. She'll return to her desk and see a voicemail notification without the phone having rung. Since she uses it for work, it's quite frustrating.
I recently replaced the Simple Mobile sim card as a precaution.
What can I try or test?
I never have had that issue with this phone yet.. But when at home, call her phone maybe a dozen times to see what happens.. I'm willing to bet it is not the phone, but a network issue.. I have ran into this same issue, with other phones, that I use on the Sprint network.
I have the issue on cricket a lot at my house. I do I bet it's a network issue.
I'd like to think that, but my phone, also on Simple Mobile, gets all calls - real, scams, surveys, the major, etc
