Unlocked Galaxy note 8 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

I got an unlocked Galaxy note 8. Believe it was used on Sprint and trying to use it on TMobile. Works good with phone calls and data. What it doesn't do is show sms delivery status and can't video call. Any way to fix this? Thank you

Check your APN settings.
Actually, which firmware is it running?

Using ATT sim shows incoming numbers as internation

Hello, I've got a quick question to ask on behalf of a friend. I recently setup her verizon note 2 for ATT service via NET10 but the problem is when I call her from lets say my phone number (111)111-1111 it comes in as +11 1 111 11 11.
I've doubled checked the assisted dialing settings and their setup as they should, I've even tried the phone.apk from the ATT NOTE 2, along with telephony.apk files... all with no result. If anyone knows a solution please do feel free to post it as I'm not very smart with this type of issues when it comes to android but I'm starting to suspect its because this phone with a sim card isn't meant to be used locally but over seas.

I have the same setup and same problem. I've looked for 3 months and couldn't find a fix. And as of 2 days ago, i'm not longer able to recieve mms. I can send just fine but incoming keeps failing to download. I've tried several apn's and nothing seems to work. it's strange because it's been working fine past few months. Other than that, Net10 is great on this phone as long as you don't have to call CS for anything.

Also having this problem only if I return a call from a previous incoming call it fails because of the "+" prefix.

mine does the sane thing. so I have to either go into contacts or manually put the number. checked all my settings to make sure international calling wasn't causing the problem. I have no idea what's causing this.
I did find an apn that fixed my mms issue though.

You can solve the MMS issue by getting another messaging APP like TEXTRA and adding the MMS APN setting in it. It will work fine after that.

I fixed it by flashing an att note 2 ROM. I moved on from the note 2 since though.

How do I get texting to work on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 with T-Mobile service?

I just got this phone about a month ago and I am not able to send any text messages but yet, I can receive them. MMS, data, and calling works pretty good too. MMS didn't work at first until I had to change my APN settings. Is there a way to fix this?
Does this problem have something to do with the software version? It's 5.0.1 (lollipop)
I'm having the same problem with my phone also!
Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon)
Im also having the same issue. Sold phone and bought lg g3. Ive tried changing to LTE / UTMS / GSM from global. But nothing. I turn off wifi and on data, sometimes texts go thru. But not 100%.. Another thing you can do temporarily is get a google voice number. All calls will be forwarded to your number and texts will show up in email and hangouts. Good luck

same problem here. It seems we need to either disable lte or find a way to choose lte/gsm mode to get the texting work. I did not find a way to do this in lollipop. Please help.
I need a fix also
No texting on Verizon s4 i545 on 5.0.1 with root
None of the radio switches are working
Need a proper solution ,
partial soln
I have the same problem going to cricket. Here is the solution I am using until a better one is found.
EDIT: (My SCH-I545 is rooted and running Stang5Litres rom, OF1)
[App] Advanced Signal Status
[Select] Additional Info at bottom of page
[Select] Phone Info
[Setting] GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
This soln turns of LTE, but still allows me to use EVDO and HSPA, and texts send and recieve fine. Still trying to find a LTE soln.

Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge+ with T-Mobile SIM - Can't Make Outgoing Calls?

Hi Everone!
I bought a Verizon S6 Edge+ a few months back. Ever since, I can only make outgoing calls ~15% of the time. The rest of the time, when I dial a number, it thinks about it for a little bit and then just ends the call. Incoming calls work perfectly fine. I tried the following things:
1. Changing mobile network to Global - sometimes allows me to make the call, often time does not.
2. Taking out and re-inserting SIM - doesn't change anything
3. Toggling airplane mode - doesn't change anything
Any ideas of what I can try? Thanks so much D
I had same issue, followed instructions from (https://www.getdroidtips.com/g928vvru3cqb9-nougat-s6-edge-plus/) to rollback to previous version of Android i.e. Marshmallow (https://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus/general/g928vvru3cqb9-odin-nougat-7-0-firmware-t3601427). Able to roll back, but that did not work, So used Verizon update tool to update back to latest firmware, now it works fine. Give a try and see if this helps.
I'm having this issue with an AT&T sim.
Global: Data is at H+ and can make calls.
LTE/CDMA: 4G LTE Data works flawlessly but cannot make calls and gives me an error stating "incorrect sim or sim error".
LTE/CDMA/UMTS: 4G LTE Data works fine however when making a call data goes back to H+ and stays there.

Unlocked Sprint Note 5 to Cricket no signal bars/ outgoing sms

Hello, I have a unlocked sprint (cdma) note 5 currently on cricket. I purchased from 3rd party so sprint won't help. Everything works except for outgoing sms and mms, I also have NO signal bars but am still receiving, making calls and incoming texts. This phone has the weirdest settings I've come across, my last phone was note 4. I have to put ##3282# into dialer to get in apn settings, everything is correct in that setting. I can't for the life of me find the message center or number in the phone settings. I have a little knowledge about phones so I know where to look, its just not there! Cricket gave me the number I would need to put in, I just can't find where to put it. I'm not tech savvy, but the phone is on 7.0 nougat? That's all I know about that...any help would be greatly appreciated...

Call & text on other devices not always working

For some reason the call and text on my Tab S7+ and S10+ isn't always working. When I make a call using the Tab S7+ I see a message saying "No network connection" but on my S10+ the call is being made but hangs up because it could not transfer to the tablet. I can't get any incoming calls either but get a missed call notification after they hang up. I cleared the cache and data on both the phone app and call & text app and it worked for a day. Now not even clearing the cache and data works. I don't know what the issue could be. Anyone have these issues?
I have the sprint version of the Tab s7. There’s no option to turn on calls and text from other devices. It came with a messenger app but no dialer. I’m confused. Am I unable to make Calls. I have the note 10+
That's another strange issue. Does Spring allow this service? I read that some providers in the US don't support this feature. I'm still having issue getting it to work 100%. I even cleared the cache partition on my phone thinking there might be something in there that is corrupt. Funny thing is sometimes I make a call on my Tab S7+ and get the no network connection but after a minute or two my phone stays its making a call from the Tab S7+. So there is a delay for some reason. Could this be something with the Samsung servers?

They said Verizon and ATT doesn't have the feature. I dont even have a phone dialer. Sprint told me to contact Samsung. Samsung said its sprint.
What I don't understand is why does it matter what service provider you have. From my understanding this feature works like this; (1) I make a call on my tablet (2) it goes through my home wi-fi to Samsung's server (3) Samsung server sends the number to my phone and initiates the call.
So why would the service provider care or even know if I directly make the call from my phone or it gets remotely dialed by Samsung.

Well I had a chat with Sprint again and they said the service has been disabled on all their tablets. I would have to download a 3rd party app to make calls. It does have a mess
Disabled on the T-Mobile S7+ as well. Went in through ADB and could not find the packages for this anywhere. Samsung said in marketing this tablet that it was not available on the Plus at launch, but that was the fine print. Just above that it said it was available, period. Hoping it shows up with the Android 11 update, whenever that shows up.

Sprint told me that they will no longer support making calls from the tablet. Apple tablets are still able to do this. I'm so angry about this. I've downloaded a phone app and now I have to use a new number with it... I hate it

It works with AT&T if you use an unlocked (XAA) phone.
AT&T only blocks it on the carrier version.
I have a Note 20 Ultra that was an AT&T carrier phone. I changed CSC to XAA and loaded U1 firmware and Call and Text on other devices is now available and working be tween my Tab S7 and my Note 20 Ultra.
Also, the calls do not get routed through Samsung. The link between the two devices is authenticated via Samsung, but the hand off is local (peer to peer) via your Wi-Fi connection.
Since you were able to get call and text on other devices working by changing firmware, did you loose the ability to make wifi calls? I have a S10 (AT&T carrier version) that I would like to keep the wifi-calling and also enable the call and text on other devices feature. Any suggestions?
