I can't access ims settings to turn on volte and video calling. It's now requiring a otp and is giving me a key code to correlate to a passcode

I just received it on my N950N, the LG U+ variant. So far nothing much has changed from Nougat.

Just got oreo update notification on n950f india exynos version. Downloading. YAY!

Got it this morning as well, but not too happy about what they did to the icons on the home screen. Kinda ticked off by the ugly white border :/

So, I upgraded to Android Oreo. My battery now sucks.
I have recognized that when I turn off the background activity in Android System my battery life is better.
However, upon restarting my phone (each time), the setting changes.
How do I keep the background activity of Android System off indefinitely?

Hows the battery life in oreo?

Do you have access to ims settings and volte ?

Not sure. I found running apps and hibernated them.
I also learned my battery optimizers were running in the background doing nothing.

Can install GSam Battery for monitoring
is screen burn with too long use of this app ?
Uninstalled right away. Full of invasive popup ads and doens't even resemble the always on galaxy s7.
I would suggest you guys Glance plus which has a minimum impact on the battery.
I'm currently using always on display since the latest update... seems much better... but it's still battery intensive... but not as bad as it was. Glance definitely is less battery hungry but it's not exactly always on...!! So until the real APK is out I'll keep using always on. I've even payed to get rid of the adds.. definitely worth it.

AdAway to block ads... devs need ads for some $
All these apps are useless to me, I'd rather wait for the app port and source code releases by Samsung, then waste my battery life on these apps. Digitizer will walkways waste battery.

How do you uninstall this app??
Its posted in google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orthur.always_on_display and here and there with negative review
@senzatiOn-
i installed the latest version of the app on a g925f with custom kernel and rom.
i works with no errors.
only one bug i found untill now and that is when i am on a phone call using bluetooth handset, while i press the power on button to turn off the screen, or when the system tries to turn it off, the screen turns back on after a second.
The battery was drained by 5% within an hour with the brightness set to 25% of the slider.
Overall i am pleased by it. Keep up the good work.
Best app loved it i was fedup by lame display of google always on
How to uninstall this app?

6.0.1 shows on Samsung website

So on the Samsung support website it shows the S6 Active as having 6.0.1. Talking to a rep they tell me best buy has access to the update, but at&t hasn't released it OTA. Is this true?
URL ?

Thanks. The picture is with 6.0.1 but the firmware page shows 5.1.1. I'm waiting to see which version of 6.0.1 is final and I'll sideload it.
I'm just waiting for ota, I know nothing about the droid system

... and the OTA is finally out!
I just got the OTA on stock! AT&T Midwest US.
Marshmallow for S6 Active OTA is here
Just happened to check Software Update on my phone, and now I've got a 1.4GB update downloading. :good:
Pity my work wifi is so slow...
I bought a used S6A and it was already on MM with build MMB29K.G890AUCU3CPE9. The official update shows MMB29K.G890AUCU3CPE4. Seems like the previous owner(s) update it via the manual update. Wondering if I should reformat back to LP and update to the official build...

Wifi calling for AT&T added in S6 Active MM update
I saw wifi calling in the list of features for the update and I was surprised, but I turned it on and it works. Surprisingly, according to the AT&T website, the S6 Active is the only model of the S6 family to get the wifi calling. I'm pretty stoked, because I don't get a cell signal at work unless I walk outside.
Before you begin
To use AT&T Wi-Fi Calling
To use Wi-Fi Calling you'll need:
• A Wi-Fi Internet connection.
• A Wi-Fi Calling capable device.
• iPhone: 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, and SE with iOS 9.3 or later.
• Android: LG G4 and Samsung GS6 Active.
• A postpaid AT&T wireless account provisioned with HD Voice.
@ankushkool No, you'll have to wait for a T-mobile version.

I doubt T-Mobile has a S6 Active! Mine is a unlocked ATT S6 Active with T-Mobile SIM. I guess I have to be on ATT network to get the update.

Display Scaling Possible?

On my S7, I was able to change the display resolution and fit more on the screen. N8 has that built into the OS but everything is too large even in the smallest setting. Is there a way to reduce the display further with Nova launcher or something?
Have you tried changing the DPI setting under minimum width in the developer options menu
No, what would you change it to so it doesn't screw things up?
Keyboard and icons don't scale well when doing it. So annoying.

i use 444 and all looks good
I run at 550 the only thing I have noticed is setting up the phone you have to keep your dpi low.
Edit : I am an idiot running that on S8 I was lurking Note 8 forums not the S8 forums my bad.

I know I should not be in here I can feel my wallet getting lighter.
I run 625, 600 is where the browser switches to tablet format. Nova makes dealing with icons very easy. I set them at 125% and scaled the icon font up. You can then adjust the icon grids to a more natural layout.
Queston. The device model works well but defaults to its values when you toggle resolution.
Is there an app that can resolve this?

Which model & carrier (SIM Card) are you using & what is the latest update revision (build number)?
Perhaps update the OP w/that info & others who may have your phone model & carrier will see this & have a solution.......
Only other thing I can suggest is remove/re-install the SIM Card,see what happens......

Glad to hear everything is working,less the network/signal strength indicator.
Yeah more a aesthetic thing. The first thing I checked was the apn. Then the sim the reset network settings then factory data reset with no luck. I think my next move is to let Samsung know. The few moments I used my phone before update the signal bars did work.

I noticed the usa unlocked ones show less bars but still the true db via Network signal information app. I think the branded ones have software to make customer feel good about the "bars". Lol

N9600 Wifi Calling & VoLTE enabled without root!

Hi folks,
Just discovered today that the newest software update on N9600 enables the Wifi Calling and VoLTE with my TracFone T-mobile SIM card!! I found this because when I was on the call it says "HD" on the screen, which I only saw on US version phones before.
My Dual SIM N9600 (likely from Hong Kong) has never been rooted or flashed with any CSC file. It's in its pristine official status except for the OTA updates every month. I remember that the VoLTE option was not available before this update, whenever I was trying to tap the "VoLTE" icon in the drop down menu it said "VoLTE is not available for this software version" blahblahblah. The June update is 500ish MB which I thought was bulky but didn't know why (in the What's New section of the update info it's just some very generic bs like improved performance and latest security patch)
I'm soooo excited about being able to use my phone on wifi with airplane mode on! :laugh::laugh: also the HD voice is really nice.

This is seriously great news. I've been planning to get a dual sim (exynos / snapdragon) so that I don't have to carry 2 phones (currently Note 9(960U1) and Note 5. One on T-mobile and another one on Mint mobile.
Would you please do a speedtest (speedtest.net app) on LTE/Data and post the screenshot. I am hoping the speed is good and if so Google Voice will work with out issue which is one of my requirement. I really don't like to go down the root/custom rom/CSC change route if I can avoid it.
If I buy on eBay, returning once opened will incur 20% or 25% restocking with the vendors I've shortlisted so like to avoid that.
Thanks much!
i see your on the TGY rom same here but in the latest update they have disabled it again!? now it says "volte is not supported by your current software version" are you experiencing this?
