- WiFi Calling
- HD Calling
- Video Calling
- VoLTE
I figure since people have had the phone for a few days now, maybe there is a definitive answer to be had. I contacted Verizon and they said that WiFi calling and HD calling will not work and that an unlocked phone will remove these features from my account. But, Verizon did say that VoLTE and Video calling will work. I contacted Samsung support and they said that all 4 features will work but that I would need to contact Verizon to enable the features on their end. Seems like a runaround.
Is there anyone with the unlocked variant and Verizon that can confirm what does and doesn't work? Thanks!
I do not have any of those working. I will try calling Verizon. I really want VoLTE/HD calling to work.

Yes it works. I had called someone in Verizon and he went through line by line, updated something called mpas or empass,and then I had to restart my phone to get it active. Finally worked after talking to 3 different people. Ask to speak to a level 2 tech if the first guy doesn't get it
Thanks, MACHEK. Which of the features are you referring to? All of them? Or, specific ones? Thanks.

Yeah I had my phone on airplane mode just to check and only had Wi-Fi. Received texts, calls etc no problem. HD calling works too. I tried to reach out to my contact at Verizon for a real good description of what he checked but he hasn't replied yet. It took him a good 15 minutes but eventually he got it. He said he went line by line to double check each setting.
Thanks again, MACHEK. If your contact gets back to you can you please reply here with the info so I and others know what to ask for when calling Verizon to get these features working on our unlocked phones?
Mr. Toad - Since you're calling tomorrow, if you get any specifics can you please post it as well?
Thanks!

Yes, if you do hear back, please post with what was necessary to turn on, I'm so glad that wifi calling works, that was the last piece which I was worried about from reading other threads.
Just some screenshots of it (on a side note it's annoying my theme isn't dark on that one setting, seems odd looking)

Looks like they also changed your statusbar. Verizon's 4G letters are like that.
Can you check if your hotspot works without a subscription prompt?

Wow sorry guys I just realized you guys are talking about the non snapdragon version? I missed that part in the original post, but to be honest, a few people even with snapdragon are having this problem of getting it set up so I wouldn't give it up.
I'm taking about the snapdragon US unlocked variant so please update when you have the details, thanks again!
Yeah, I think we're all probably talking about the snapdragon US unlocked variant. So, MACHEK, I think you're info is still good, correct?

just by looking at his statusbar, I believe he doesn't have an unlocked version.
He must have the Verizon carrier specific Note 8.

That it works only when the hack is applied. But you still cant torrent on AT&T without proxying.
I've been using a Note 7 port on my Note 4 and have really enjoyed the integrated Hiya into the phone dialer. Of course VZW has disabled it for their own. Hiya has a stand alone app but I was curious if there's a way to take the unlocked phone app and install it on our VZW note 8. Thanks.

I didn't know there was any sort of integration in the past with hiya. Do you have an APK for that or was your phone rooted? That might be the reason. I don't know how the Standalone app works and if you have to make hiya the dialer of choice for it to work properly. If it's anything like mr. number I'd be over it
Don't think you can install the phone APK since it is probably a system app. So short of flashing it or rooting (both impossible right now) I don't think you can get it. Hiya's standalone app is crap. Obtrusive, nags a bit, not integrated into rest of the system. One of the reasons I got unlocked for my T-Mobile plan is to have proper caller ID without T-Mobile shoving their Name ID down my throat at $3.99/mo

That's what I figured, it being a system app so no way to install from another version. Thank you for the reply. Smart going unlocked! If it wasn't for the carrier trade in value I'd have done the same. Enjoy!

If you're referring to the Hiya caller id/spam feature, it''s not just the phone app & there's a chance you may not even need it. It's enabled by cscfeature.

Without root, not possible. Verizon specifically blocks this feature cause they offer their own paid subscription caller ID service.

Reason why I'm still on T-Mobile. Verizon doesn't allow for GSM devices, aka unlocked bootloader phones. Really bothers my how even T-Mobile sells locked bootloader phones. Seems like Samsung and service providers don't care though since we don't represent the majority of consumers.
Here ya go guys, if you root then use this cscfeatures file, the caller ID and spam protection GETS ACTIVATED ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER FREE SAMSUNG FEATURE VERIZON DISABLED. Caller ID, search places, Samsung cloud, as well as a few others. Scroll through the thread and use the one Baggery77 modified for Verizon. It's a few pages in.

I did a dirty flash of the rom with that csc code and worked it worked with no issue. After a clean install, the option was still in setting andturned on, but it only says Identifiying caller information without giving a result on numbers it would normally work on. Any ideas?
Hi,
I wll be purchasing a new phone soon and am looking for a phone that has a great chance to be rooted/able and compatable with the Verizon network.
Can an unlocked Note 8 (SM-N950U1) be used on Verizon's network?
Thanks for your input?
Yes it can. I'm using the unlocked version on the Verizon network right now.

+1, no issues.
But, no HD calling or wi-fi calling?
I am using one as well. But none of the features/services are working. I can't get any VZW apps, like visual Vmail. I don't even get vmail notifications. No HD voice or video. No NFL app live video. Nothing HAS works except voice & data.
I have been on with VZW everyday. They can't figure the s**t out. They blame Sammy and Sammy blames them. Very frustrating!!!!
Yes I got the unlocked one and I have hd calling and the phone provisioned I'm on Verizon

No and yes, in that order.
You'll have the model with the Snapdragon SoC and that has a locked bootloader. You might one day get root (if you're lucky) but you'll probably never get TWRP compatibility or any custom ROMs.
But on the bright side, it will work on the Verizon network, so that's nice.

It can be found by searching in Shortcut Master (light) app. I can still find it, but cannot run as from BL version 3 (not sure if it was that one) many shortcuts no longer work (including all IMS-related shortcuts).
I have N950U1 on FW version N950U1UEU5CRJ2.

Hey all,
Sprint variant. Just had an update pushed to the phone. Now ends in QK3... Any idea if this might address network performance issues? I was having initial connection delays when loading web/internet apps... Have been using a dns changer as a workaround that uses a local VPN to use openDNS as it may have been a DNS issue that was borked in the previous patch. Thanks!
I saw the update too, it showed up on mine around 9am EST. I've yet to do it, though, since I don't know what's included.

Hi all. Have any of you try flashing the N950U1 2BQK1 firmware on Sprint Note 8 and get VoLTE or WiFi calling? Back in August Sprint start pushing the VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling update on the Galaxy S8, not sure if Sprint did change their CSC so you can used the U1 firmware and get Full VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling like T-MOBILE or Verizon. I have an AT&T Note 8 and Verizon Note on Verizon service running on the new updated N950U1 2BQK1 firmware. I currently don't have Sprint service now but planning to get 1 line's

Just want to find before I get a line, I prefer Samsung only firmware instead of carrier bloatware firmware. I like spam feature on stock Samsung unlock firmware, plus better battery life and performance.

I am on the BQK1 firmware on Sprint.
WiFi calling is enabled automatically
VoIP is working with manual settings through shortcut master lite...I've posted the settings in various locations...
BlueFox beat me to the punch. I use N950U1 2BQK1 firmware*on my note as well.
I have some AT&T S5's that I have acquired and they seem to have a custom firmware of some kind. Possibly an unlocked bootloader? Just curious as to what I have. I have included a picture of the boot screen.
The bootloader's are unlocked!!!!!! I managed to flash twrp on it and it is working properly!
I noticed it says Modeeveloper under the download mode. Maybe there's a way to figure how these are unlocked.
I have about 40 of these. Devs pm me if interested.
I know somebody with the same problem, started the other day. BS the bootloader is unlocked.. Whatever it is, it has hijacked the phone to the point that it freezes on the boot animation and loops. Tell me, how do you come into 40+ devices with this issue and why are you trying to offload them as if they're something special?
