Hello,
I just got Note 5 SM-N920S from amazon. It supposed to be unlocked international version of Note 5.
It has 2 major flows (pictures below):
Call Forwarding. Function is just not there. Even though it is possible to use USSD codes to create call-forwarding.
Mobile Data Roaming. Feature is disabled and there is no way to turn it on.
I was wondering if anybody has solution for these problems?

I noticed the same problem with data roaming activation.
Did you tried to activate being in roaming or just in your home network?
N920S is Korean SK Telecom operator unlocked version.

Data roaming with stock firmware looks to be possible only with SKT USIM card.

Still looking for a Gold 64gb 920i. ?

In language selection is also Spanish option. As per PDADB.NET the bands of this model are:
GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850 (B5), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1), LTE2100 (B1), LTE700 (B17), LTE850 (B5), LTE1800 (B3), LTE2600 (B7), LTE1900 (B2), LTE900 (B8), LTE800 (B26), TD-LTE2600 (B38), TD-LTE2500 (B41), TD-LTE1900 (B39

Not sure, custom kernel is available, roms will be available soon probably.
But I still avoid to root, cause in case of knox counter tripped to 0*1(case of root or custom rom/kernel flashing) Samsung Pay will be broken permanently.

Just a question. I wanted to use the code *#2263# but it seems this version does not respond to it. I wanted to force use LTE. Would you happen to know if there are alternative codes for this?

Can anyone confirm the compatibility of the Exynos variant with T-mobile? Frequency check websites show 100% compatibility but looking for personal experience feedback. Also curious if B66 works as intended in the US.

I just noticed that the service is like just a little worse, you most likely wont notice a difference.
Anyone play around with the idea of loading the T-mobile S8 firmware onto the Exynos international version of the phone to see if that would be enough to get Wifi calling working? Wifi calling is essential to me since I work in a building with great wifi but no service.

You cannot install Snapdragon firmware on an Exynos based phone. This will lead to a brick. The only thing from a Snapdragon firmware you can install I believe is CSC but don't quote me on that.

I was also wondering if flashing the tmobile CSC to the 955F would enable wifi calling. The only LTE band that the Exynos variant doesn't have that T-mobile uses is 66 and from what I've been able to research that's not sued int he NYC area. But wifi calling is critical. I use it a lot to call back home when I travel abroad.

That is incorrect. The 950F does support band 66. I took this from service mode on my 950F

I received my phone yesterday. After a couple sites reporting it did support band 66, I dove in and was not disappointed.

Thanks but there's something weird about your screenshot. Band 32 is out of order and is not used on any Samsung phone. I think that should be 42. I find it hard to believe that there is a typo in the service menu.
I was using frequencycheck.com and willmydevicework.com as my sources. I agree that on this point I'm positive that the 950 and 955 should be the same.

Yeah it's strange and I do think it's a typo. But that's what service mode shows, regardless of which SIM I select.
With the exynos you'll also lose VoLTE. Meaning in areas where T-Mobile is using B12 LTE to extend the range of its network (B12 LTE 700mhz goes further than their EDGE and HSPA network (1700,1900,2100mhz) so if you're in an area and only have B12 LTE signal you won't be able to make or receive calls or texts. And in an emergency scenario if there was no other network for your phone to roam to, you also wouldn't be able to dial 911. Kinda an important feature imo.
I use the 930F on t-mobile and will likely do the same with the s8. If you care about rooting, you should get a 950f. It can be rooted easily and with root, you can get TKKG1994's CSC selection tool and use it to enable VOLTE/Wifi calling). If you aren't going to root, then the carrier phone is good.
I don't know how gigabit LTE is affected but I doubt in 2017 this is a game changer.
If I recall correctly, saw some press from the beginning of the year that Samsung phones released this year would have their FM Radio's enabled. Is it?
Yes, FM radio is enabled. I downloaded Next Radio and was able to listen to FM when I plugged in my headphones.

What about the OEM interface? Can we make it work like the S7/8/note8 did?
I don't live in America and want the even frequencies to display as well as RDS.
What is the OEM interface. If you'll explain it to me, then I can try it and tell you.
#EDIT: I see your screenshots, I checked in my "package disabler pro" and there is not a stock radio app that comes with phone.

I remember the previous models didn't have it with the American variants as well.
The note 8 had it with the Hong Kong DS variant preinstalled and was posted here in XDA. I grabbed the .apk from there and made it work with rooted S7/8 T-mo variant by pushing the apk to system.
Someone who bought the HK variant, not sure how they name it this year, can shed some light and confirm?
@mynamemetallica There must be a snapdragon variant for China and Hong Kong. This one should do. I think SM-N9600 or 9608 but I'm not sure.

That's unfortunate. I always double check before I buy. In my country only the Exynous architecture is available thus buying from local retailer is not an option for me. Luckily there is credit card and Ebay\Amazon to buy anything I want from. Just need to verify about this Hong Kong variant, hope someone who has it will show up and confirm. If not, I guess I should be going with U.S.A.
I have the T-Mobile variant and I have confirmed that yes FM is working.
Same as the note 8, snapdragons worked but exynos didn't.

The question is which variant that has FM working is also rootable?
I can confirm that the AT&T variant has an FM radio. I tried it with the Next Radio app. You need wired headphones plugged in to be the antenna.
Verizon version has FM radio enabled, too. Confirmed for the 512 gb model and 128 gb
My Note 9 in Brazil (SM-N9600) comes with a preinstalled/oficial from Samsung FM Radio app. Snapdragon variant =)
My US unlocked has the FM enabled but it didn't come with the stock Samsung app and I'm unable to install it directly. Anybody else have any luck?

I have the US unlocked SM-N960U1, manufactured in Korea. FM radio is enabled and works great. I use the NextRadio app. (I don't ordinarily want FM radio rather than streaming, but it's good to have as an emergency option.)

Check out the WETA custom ROM for N9600 thread. It has the supposedly working stock FM experience. The .apk file should be located at /system/priv-app/HybridRadi/HybridRadi.apk
Now only left to figure out how to lay it there on N960Unrooted.
Yes, it has recording function (to SD card / internal) and timer. No RDS.

i'm using the 960F/DS, with an ATT CSC and i get HD Voice with both ATT and T-Mobile calls (i see the HD symbol on the Google Dialer/Phone). i've been very happy with my T-Mobile LTE cellular internet speeds in my low-signal coverage neighborhood. will test again and post results from current biz trip where T-Mobile has excellent coverage on internet speeds.

i didn't use the flash method; couldn't find a flashable file with an ATT CSC for the Note9. so...i extracted and copied-pasted the ATT CSC folder/files from ATT's most recent full ROM and manually edited the necessary dat files in the omc and /efs/imei folders on my phone. that being said, neither ATT nor T-Mobile WiFi calling and video calling work, but that's not an issue for me. i use the Google Dialer and Duo for video calls.

thanks for the link; i figured out the codes shortly after posting my message.
Rather than turning off band that provider might actually use in some situations, try turning off band that you possibly won't use, like band 39, or whatever.
See if that fixes preference to band 4, while still maintaining band 12 for odd situation.
I'm only saying this, because in Canada for provider freedom, band 66 is the fastest, and international phones actually prefer to connect to band 4 which is the slowest for this particular provider. Since we don't have access to modem settings since oreo, I found that disabling any of the unused bands (30,46,39 whatever), brings back proper behaviour like Canadian model counterparts, choosing band 66 majority of times, while still maintaining band 4 for building penetration.
Just try, give a few minutes, check on *#0011#, see if you're still defaulting to 12, or something else with more throughput, might work, might not.

I bought an S10 5G korean version 977N KT branded, my carrier is Vodafone Italy and everything works fine, apart the 5G connection, never seen on the display. Does anybody have the same issue using the korean device abroad?
Korean S10 5G only enables 5GNR Band 78 when certain operator (ie: Korean) SIM cards are inserted. Otherwise inside the UeCapabilityInformation it sends, it only includes LTE Bands (1, 3, 7, 8, 20, 32, 39, 40).

Could a proper firmware or a custom rom solve the problem?
I think it's something in either the CSC or the baseband, but not sure.

Will the new update to Android 10 help overcome this constraint?

Really?? that brilliant :silly:
If the problem is not HW. related, there shall be a resolution either soon or later! I wish it is not H.W limitation!
Let's hear from others who still keep on using this model ....
BTW: the two models (B/N) are exactly similar in HW specs. if not identical. If am not worng ?, furthermore, the custom ROM (VN-ROM) here is working on both similarly and as per developer, it is based on G977B firmware!

I had the same problem with a KT branded one. It is unlocked for all the networks except the 5G, that is evidently considered an optional function, that is only enabled using that carrier sim

Yes right, I do have this model. but do you expect 5G is optional for this device manufactured to support the 5G network!, logically no!!
It is an essential feature that should be available as the other features!
This makes me think that the model is not fully supporting worldwide 5G networks bands and it might be equipped with a certain 5g-modem that supports KT 5g-NR bands ONLY!! . in addition, the low price for the N model also supports this assumption!

BTW Mr. Waterskier, How much the difference in price for the two models since you had got both of them?
Has anyone else got a CN version and on Vodafone UK? I can't seem to get 4G+ or 5G to work. Download speeds on 4g are a lot less than my S21 and Cellmapper seems to confirm no LTE-A or NR. Even tried a SIM swap but that doesn't seem to have helped.
It's fine with my EE SIM, shows 4g+
Some googling shows others with similar issues with no CA on some European networks but others are fine. Wondering if the EEA firmware is likely to have a different modem config file?
I have a CN model and my EE gets 4G+ and 5G without any issues.
I also have a work phone on Vodafone. If I take the Vodafone SIM and put it inside my Mi 11 Ultra, it only shows as 4G. 5G won't turn on either even though it's supported in my price plan and works on my work phone.
One thing I have noticed is that the CN model does not support Band 32/1400MHz SDL, which Vodafone in the UK uses whereas EE does not - could this be the main difference as your area happens to rely on this band?
I don't think that's the issue. My local area masts only have band 1,7 and 20 anyway on Vodafone UK and on my S21 Ultra I get CA ok.

Strange, not sure what it could be. Likely some sort of firmware issue/config matter then as I can't get LTE on my Vodafone work SIM either.
Hopefully once it's out in the UK I can replace the firmware with that version. I will try the global one next week though.
The xiaomi.eu roms are based on the CN version, so likely to have the same modem files I assume.
Have you changed the sim cards with newer ones to rule out some old SIM cards issues ?

Yes, tried a SIM swap, still no CA on Vodafone.
4G+ should active automatically when network have these combinations available on network: https://cacombos.com/device/M2102K1C . Chinese devices doesn't support all 4G Carrier Aggregation combinations used in Europe so that could be reason why you don't see 4G+ active.
That's why it's recommend buy Global version: https://cacombos.com/device/M2102K1G

If this is the explanation, i guess there is nothing to do except switching the chinese for global version ?
I think we're just waiting for someone to try the global or EEA version, not brick their phone, and report back on whether CA is now active.

I hope im wrong but i think when it comes to network bands its only about hardware , not software .
Hopefully this can be fixed by software stuff but i doubt it .
Before i bought the phone , i checked bands support and all the UK ones were supported . But it looks like things are more complicated than just supported bands .
I believe CA is a software issue, as the modem just need to know which bands can be aggregated together.
I just downgraded to the Global 12.0.1 version and still no CA.
Well , if someone could tell us what are the odds of this being somehow fixed in the future , i would be really grateful. If there are no chances for some fix , i will definitely sell it even though i freaking love this phone .

Well there is not much todo because CA combinations are defined in modem firmware. Changing OS to different version may not change modem firmware.

These are configured to modem firmware. You can't change these values because it requires source code of modem and then compile it. We don't have modem source code so we can't change carrier aggregation combinations.
So only what we know is support per devices - https://cacombos.com have good database
Considering this , anyone from UK wants to buy a Mi 11 Ultra 12 / 512 ? Thanks .
Just tried a Global version, and 4G+ works fine.

And the CN version:
So moral of the story, it's not just about the LTE bands it supports. I'll know for next time!

You switched to global or you'll keep the chinese one ?
Switched to global, now need to sell my CN version.
