Hey guys,
I lost some features on my note 8 unlocking my TMobile note 8. Anyways I can them back?
What features are you missing because I have a permanently unlocked T-Mo Note 8 and I didn't notice any features missing after the unlock went through.

all depends if you went to a mvno or other carrier dependent services. that's the only that occurs.

I am no longer using T-Mobile, I am using MintMobile and unlocked the phone (there was no reason to do an unlock, I just wanted too because I am going over seas and want to use EU SIM)
But before I unlocked my phone all these options were working
Samsung Facetime
and WiFi Calling
These are the two I noticed that are gone. Now that WiFi calling is completely gone, its a huge game changer for me. Anyways I can get that back? There is nothing available in the settings....

Well I was and still am using Mint Mobile. The phone was locked for T-Mobile and all the features worked just fine. I figured I would unlock it for my upcoming trip to the EU. Now all the features such as WiFi calling are no longer in the settings and I cant toggle them on and off, which is a huge bummer.
Thank you,
Newjack

wifi calling is carrier dependant and that's one that your current carrier doesn't support even if device does. call mint and ask if they include wifi calling in service plan.. as far as flow, samsung techs can assist soley.
Your service provider does offer wifi calling. Gotta check your fist 8 of imei see if it's on note 8 list.
Wifi calling is in settings > connections> more connection settings and wifi calling should be in the bottom. I have a unlocked Tmobile note 8 on metropcs and it works.
My TMO Note 8 is unlocked and I recently went to the Isle of Man for the TT and was on Sure the whole week ... Wifi calling worked fine. It's carrier dependent. I had no issues at all.
As we get our new devices, we will have many conversations and opinions about 5G vs LTE, battery life on both protocols, previous speeds, etc.
It's my hope to gather data about these topics.
I propose we keep the following data sets available:
Location: ( Ex: Vcitoria,Tx 77901)
4GLTE Speeds on Current device: ( Ex: One Plus 7T 30 Mbps down / 5 Mbps down) Screenshots ?)
5G Speeds on OP7TP5GME:... Ridiculous acronym....( Ex: One Plus 7T 300 Mbps down / 50 Mbps down) We wish! ( Screenshots ?)
App or website used: ( Speedtest by Ookla.apk or Fast.com)
Battery Life stats after Full Charge on 5G and normal use: ( Not necessary, but would add insight to data set)(Screenshots ?)
I will follow this protocol on 12/11 or 12/12 once device is received
I will unlock my bootloader, if possible I will root and convert to international and also re-eport my findings after conversion.
Can you still use 5g after converting to international?
Mine is coming Tuesday. No 5G in McAllen yet but can report 4G speeds.
Interested if 5G still works after converting to international.

100% DO NOT quote me on this, I'm just assuming. It should still work since 5G is a hardware thing and not a software thing. BUT I could see it not working after messing around with the software to convert to international. This is a really good question, because I have had a 6T and now a 7 Pro with T-Mobile and have converted both over to international. I just messaged T-Mobile to see about getting the 7T Pro McLaren, but if I can't convert it to international and still have 5G then it's a no go for that phone.
I bought the T-Mobile McLaren 5G today. I'm really impressed with it so far. I will post some speed tests from Boise Idaho tomorrow when I'm in a better coverage area.

You might want to edit that do it isn't showing your number unless you liked getting spammed by spammers/scammers that saw your number on here. You might want to do the same with the IMEI since that is tied to your account.
There is also a Day 1 patch that upgrades security patch to November 1.
I'd actually really like to know if 5G works after conversion if possible as well. I hate the TMO splash screens and would like the faster updates.
As long as it's reversible, I'll try it when I get mine.
Has anyone managed to get the 5G bootloader unlocked? I got TMO to sim unlock the phone, which allows it to be unlocked, but i cant find info on the normal BIN unlock for this phone.

Nope. You have to get the bootloader unlock token from OnePlus before you can do anything. It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. LOL. I learned my lesson to never buy carrier phones. Miss the good ol days. Ok, venting done. So yeah, you have to submit for a token after getting your SIM unlocked here...https://www.oneplus.com/unlock_token. Oh, and it will take at least 7 days! LMAO.
EDIT: To add, once the token is received and the bootloader is unlocked, it should be very simple to root via magisk method. Any guide for the 7t pro model should suffice.
Couple screen shots. I was testing my phone against my wife's S10 plus and hers was faster than mine. Mine said 5G but I don't think that's here yet.
The two screen shots are both my phone, one with 5G on and one off. With it off mine is decently faster than the S10.
This is the same results i have gotten, nearly receive as fast on many test

You know it odd cause I'm getting the exact opposite results as you my 5G speeds are anywhere between 80 and 180 megabits per second. But when I'm on 4G I'm tapping out at like 30 to 40 on speed tests. another weird thing that I've noticed and I'm not sure if it's the apps or the phone or what but when I try to use apps like Spotify YouTube or any app that loads something from the web and I'm on 5G the apps load considerably slower then they used to with 4G
My speeds on 5G actually went down (and quite a bit). I've switched to LTE only.
5g Tacoma,WA
Faster 5g speeds
I had a thought, the current 5G uses band 4 just for connecting and 71 for service. So, since I don't actually have 5G the phone thinks it has a 5G connection so isn't concerned with a fast connection on band 4 since it think the real connection is on 71. I turn off the non existent 5G and the phone negotiates a full connection on 4.
Or I could be completely wrong.

I actually applied for the Bin Token on the 11th, so I should have it in a couple days.

How's your experience with the phone so far? I feel like the battery life isn't as great as expected, sometimes it drains very fast. Also, the fingerprint sensor seems a bit buggy to me.
Guys, I'm in the US for work. I bought a AT&T
SIM card to use and it seems like I'm getting Network data signal intermittent. The data will auto cut off after 5 to 10 minutes. The only way to fix this is to toggle the data icon on and off. I don't know is it related to the latest update of android 10 that caused the issue because when I place the SIM card on Galaxy s10+, it didn't have such issue. Both phones are unlocked ver. Kindly assist.. thanks
Hey... I had the same issue when I updated to emui 10 too on my mate 20 pro. I did everything I could even got a new sim from ATT and that did not fix it. I can pop my sim into my iPhone SE and no data issues.
I agree, there is a software bug when switching between wifi to data or using data for awhile it cuts out completely.
Highly recommend to stick with latest 9.1.350 for the next 6 months lol.
I have region set to Taiwan or UAE to get the emui 10 update fyi. Altho I'm in the US.
Thanks for replying Fong. I really thought I was the only one to have had this issue. So we can conclude that it was the Android EMUI 10 firmware that caused the data network issue problem. I guess now I just need to downgrade to Android EMUI 9 temporary and wait for Huawei to fix this issue soonest with a new patch.
Just to confirm you don't have any data network issue after going back to EMUI 9? If you could, can you share your issue with Huawei as well so that they can rectify the issue.
Link: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/
Thanks
Teezj, no more network connectivity issues back on 9.1. Smooth. I did just report it to Huawei now but being in the US.. I'm not trusting Huawei to do much lol.
I will try out the next 10.x release when available. This time I will do a real full backup locally via the hi suite instead of just Google backup...
FOUND A FIX from the P30 Pro area....confirmed it works for my LYA-L29 in US, with AT&T
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p30-pro/help/wifi-android-10-t4012977
and
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p30-pro/help/google-apps-mobile-data-upgrading-to-t4006279
After upgrading to EMUI 10, both threads state the fix is to go to APN settings and where values say "none" or have asterisks (****), delete the values.
Reboot phone, and your data should work when switching between wifi and 4g mobile data.
Thank you for sharing the solution!
As title states how can I get around AT&T stupid cross platform messaging block. Absolutely stupid. Samsung does not offer an unlocked version of this tablet forcing you to buy it through a carrier and AT&T locks out key features. Which is absolute crap. Apple is allowed to sync there devices no problem why not us? How can I get around this???
IDK if you still need help. I'm not sure what phone you are using, but I was able circumvent it. I have a Note 20 Ultra from AT&T as well and a wifi only Tab s7+. I was able to load a U1 Firmware onto my Note (This will wipe the phone). I can now sync call and messages. It still doesn't want to work over mobile all the time, but if they are on the same wifi, or if my phone is on a wifi network and the S7+ is connected to the Auto Hotspot from my phone, it works pretty well. Here's the link to the U1 FWs for the Note 20 Ultra. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/ota-and-non-ota-firmware-for-n986u-and-n986u1.4143833/
I can't attest to this working on the Carrier version of the S7+ though. Hope you can find something helpful here.
Best of luck.
Hey. I'm thinking about getting the Motorola Edge+ 2022 on T-Mobile, but I'd want to know what it's capable of on said network: since T-Mobile released Voice Over 5G not too long ago, can the phone successfully make a 5G call (not a VoLTE or EPS call), and can it also do carrier aggregation between band n71 and n41? Any help would be nice, thanks
Yes, I have Edge+ 2022 on T-Mobile.
You need to do a bit work to fully enable SA 5G
Now VoNR is on by default.
It can achieve N41 on SA
Mingkee can you provide some instructions on how to "do a bit of work" to enable these features? I'm also on TMO and want to ensure I'm getting the same capabilities.

Is there a AT&T code?
Anyone know the T-Mobile 8gb ram 512gb storage build number? I have the boost mobile variant and want to have a smooth transition over to metro, what can I say, metro is king here.
If you don't know how to look it up go to about phone scroll down to build number, Id really like to have the version of the factory moto build, either will work, thanks!

can you tell me the build number if its the 8gb version? boost put tons of junk on this thing, file would also help or link to zip that way I can drop it in the rsa cause Im already unlocked, there's just so much dish junk and carrier had it running on 3gpp trying to get rid of this, Im 99% sure I can already change my carrier but I want to rid my crippled device.

I recently also purchased and unlocked boost mobile variant of edge plus 2022. Have you had any lucky flashing the retail US rom?
No I can't get any specifics on the factory rom so I just shut off the boost mobile apps and put it on Metro by T-Mobile, got in the hidden menu and changed some things here and there, I noob nerfed it... If I had the rom that I needed then I'd try to finish it but there's like 10 different roms on EF and apparently I don't know the lingo to get the factory rom, the admins over there are not trying to help anyone, I messaged one that acted like he worked for boost mobile.
We need step by step lol. I'm mainly concerned about slow to no update at all since it's in dish channel even though our phones are network unlocked.

My new, unlocked Edge+ that I am planning on activating on T-M is arriving this weekend.
If you can pop in a sim and it's not asking for a code go through the apps and disable carrier app, Network companion and all boost overlay apps by turning off the open by default switches, dial *#*#4636#*#* go to NR options from the top option and pick auto, in my are it switches from sa to nsa, depending on the carrier you might want to make sure your carrier is using NR for calls, make sure its not saying Rcc in error, with Metro you can use ipv6 basic sim settings or T-Mobile apn in settings, under the 4636 hidden menu set the network from NR, LTE, Wcdma to NR,LTE,gsm,wcdma or unknown. Basically Unknown is the best option because if you switch carriers it will pick the correct configuration, if said new carrier uses LTE for voice calls it might be needed to disable VoNR so your not burning data on calls, at this point my ram is at 3 or 4 instead of 5 with the boost settings, rcs chats are registered and my signal is maxed out using 5GUC. It just takes some research and it can be run perfectly on the crappy boost firmware, it just takes some time to work with. If you get stuck make sure you are backing up everything and if you have problems do a wipe from the fast boot and start over. Look up and do your research on the stuff you turn off, virus total might show you some apps not being utilized. This is the best I can do at this point.

Maybe a build# would help to be added to this thread, most ppl will probably use that build for the best performance. I'd appreciate it even though my boost firmware is up and working on Metro I haven't got a security update since 2/23 all these comments on settings I've made are going to apply to the U.S. networks.

Ebay seller had bought it as a new Boost phone; and when they unlocked it, still claiming it was new, they started the clock at Motorola as of March. So when I got it, I immediately checked to see if I could add Accidental Damage; but upon finding that the 12 month warranty would expire in March 2024, and I couldn't add the extra insurance, I immediately requested/was approved for a return. So I'm back on the market...for a new Edge+ 2022.

That's a tough break, I appreciate the update, I activated on Metro but the Metro rep claims running the T-Mobile apn settings will send me the new updates but I have none up to this date. Usually fota updates are sent at night so hopefully overnight I might receive one, it does say dish channel on mine as well but all of the boost overlay system extensions have been turned off and the matching settings are turned on from another Metro/T-Mobile phone I have, I feel like something in the actual boost firmware is blocking the updates because dish is using some shady public networks on these phones, I'm not sure if it's to support other phones or what but my data seems to be correct so I don't think my phone has any attachments to dish/boost. If I get updates I will put notification to the thread. If you want to run on T-Mobile just get the unlock code from boost because considering you purchased the phone used under U.S. law their unlocking policy does NOT apply to used phones, that is how I got my unlock code to switch to Metro and using T-Mobile apn settings. Hope this helps like I said will update if I'm updated.
I reached out to another seller (selling 10 fons) on Ebay; and based upon what they said, and description of two other "new and unlocked" Edge+s, it seems like all of them at good prices are sourced from Boost. I think I'm going to get one directly from Moto.
Keep me updated on the build number, it seems no one knows the factory build. Thanks

It's going to depend on what area you're in, I'd write them all down and just put them all in, it's only going to pick up the ones that are in the sim I'm 90% sure, then if it doesn't pick up SA then you'll take your band list you disabled and simply re-enable them. My phone actually works better on a speed test with NSA, with the latest merging networks it seems carriers might be switching to NSA unless your on Att or Verizon your device is probably not going to pick up SA, it's a way overhyped network choice IMO, my home is brick and when standing in the middle of it NSA goes in and out and it's only 1300sqft, I can't see SA making it through brick, my advise is if your picking up a good NSA signal just use it as lame as it sounds. My device opens pages quicker than a kid abusing a book at the library.
