Cdma only

Hey everyone, just was wondering if anyone else was having this issue where the phone won't connect on LTE mode on virgin mobile. Every so often I won't get any connection at all unless I set it to cdma only. I then need to go into dss and reset the connection.
I've tried multiplie roms, kernels, the universal apn fix etc.

It seems like you may have a weak signal to me. I don't think ROMs, kernels, or any fixes can help you in this matter. Does it happen everywhere you go or just in certain locations?

It happens everywhere, I was doing some digging online and it seems to be a fairly common issue. I tried multiple kernels etc because I noticed that it seemed to be better with different ones. Also sometimes, like now, my lte signal is great.

cant get LTE anywhere anytime
I have had this issue since I first flashed this phone back in December with CM11 I called virgin mobile back then and the told me that it wasn't my problem it was a issue they where having in my area so at the time I agreed with them and they even have me half off my bill $18 refund. Since then I have noticed that it wasn't them it was something caused by me flashing the phone. I've been on 5 different Roms and a few kernels nothing seems to change it but I'm not to concerned with it I still get great speed with it in 3g plus I'm on WiFi 18 hours a day so don't really effect me. BUT WHAT IS: I can't sent MMS messages or receive them right now I can't get the IP address etc for the network to work I tried flashing the VMU APN fix but when I did it caused WiFi not to be available (won't turn on) I'm currently on RaptorRomv2. Please if anyone could help with a solution that would be appreciated thanks.

Hello,
Are you on 1.48.652.2 or 1.47.652.1? I'm on Boost Mobile and I noticed the radio was updated on 1.48.652.2 from 1.46.40.1113_2 to 1.46.40.0721. I noticed I get better signal in my area with the new radio. LTE has never been a problem for me, but if you haven't upgraded, maybe this will help you.

That is the newest one, so I don't what to tell you. I have seen quite a bit of people on this forum with LTE/signal problems only with Virgin. I think it is on their side. It is weird, though, since they are a Sprint MVNO and no one on Boost is complaining of these problems.

So 1.46 is newer than 1.48 hows that make sense. I guess it does make Sense run huh lol

I think you misunderstand. 1.48.652.2 is the updated software/RUU that includes everything. 1.46.40.0721 is the updated radio for 1.48.652.2. The old software 1.47.652.1 had the old radio 1.46.40.1113_2. You can get the old software RUU and see if the radio works better for you. If it doesn't, Virgin has a problem that they have to fix.

Here's an update from me, I don't know what happened but I have not had the LTE/3G issue for a while now, pretty much sine the day after I posted this thread. On my end I am going to call this fixed. Only thing I can think is that the software did update from then till now so perhaps it fixed the issue.

Can an unlocked Note 8 (SM-N950U1) be used on Verizon's network?

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.

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

I clicked on self provision and restarted phone everything works

Even gave me a toggle after

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.

How did you self provision?

i am trying to use it on verizion, where is self provision? from which menu? search on settings , unable to locate it.

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.

update already getting pushed

Bloody hell,I literally just today reenabled updates tonight and got an update pushed to me. 1. Should I take it? 2. What is changing? 3. Can I not take it somehow if I want to wait? 4. Can I later still accept it and do it?

Why wouldn't you take it? S8 had no issues with root, with all updates.

In BK disabler, search for SDM and disable the 2 packages. Bye OF A. I also disabled them in developer options. This is for Verizon, not sure about others.
Also, just curious if there will be an official XDA Verizon n8 forum.

Don't take it.

Nothing on Unlocked variant.

Sprint has one too. not taking since I want root later.

People moan when they don't receive updates and moan when they do? I would advise you don't take the updates, Last thing you want is Samsung looking after your device.

4K 60fps?

I heard from another post on here, thats its a bluetooth security fix.
But dont know. I disable updates. It seems like after a few the phone starts to run slow

Any body know if the unlocked version has this update I'm waiting I'm mine. I plan to wait and see if root comes. Also because of the WiFi hotspot being unlocked out of the box. What if this update blocks this.

Updated my unlocked September 16th. So happy they’re keeping up with the carriers on their updates! Seems a little smoother to me. Still no swipe down on the home page to get the notification panel to expand though. Looks like I’ll have to update home wiz to get it.

did you mean Note 8?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note-8

Do these features work on the unlocked Note8 on Verizon?

- 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?

Verizon Update

Has anyone actually received the Verizon Pie update? When I check for updates through OTA and the Software Update Tool, it still says that the May 1st update is the current one.

I'm on Verizon as well and haven't received the update OTA nor through the update tool. Verizon's changelog says it was released on the 27th, hopefully by Monday they actually push it out.

Nope. Been obsessively checking since Friday and tried the thing to clear data on Google Services Framework and force the download, but that didn't help either.

It appears Verizon has now removed any reference to the update on their Z2 update page.

Crap, you're right. I wonder how long we'll be waiting

Just got the update notification. Downloading now.

Here you go

Would someone with the OTA be able to copy the below link and type in their serial number at the end? It is an OTA capture tool and the last bit is for the serial number if this is a serial staged roll out. Without the serial, Motorola's OTA server is sending a denial. If it does work, can you download the OTA file and share it?

I highly suggest not trying. 4 phones already got bricked trying to take the Pie update on a variant it wasn't for in the discord. Two got baseband issues and two more won't boot or show any signs of life.

Were the failed phones tmobile or sprint variants though?
The sprint variant is way closer to the verizon than the tmobile one, hardware wise. I can run stock Verizon Oreo on my sprint for example, and even enable stuff like wifi calling on native verizon.

Does anyone think the clock in the top left looks weird?

That is very much an interesting development. I converted my Sprint Z2 to a Verizon Z2 and saw on the discord that a few people were having issues with bricks, I just assumed the update itself was killing the phones. It's quite possible that there is something that is killing these phones. Some sort of check to verify the integrity of the phones or something. Though it's quite annoying that my phone is continuously trying to update itself despite the fact it can't take the pie update.

That is indeed the case, I am running the Sprint Z2 Force with Verizon Firmware and it's working fine, even WiFi Calling and VoLTE. The issue now is that Pie is trying to download itself. I would like to try to update the phone and report back if it decided to kill itself but I can't capture the OTA.
