Have you got the phone as yet? Or has anyone tried testing this? I have xfinity mobile and would love to get this device but I do not want to jump out the windows without knowing more. Seems from the other threads that Verizon is a no go for full service, work around is in place via Google Voice but yeah.

[Q] Can't seem to get internet on euro flashed Tab..?

Yep, I'm a newb.. but what's new? ;p
I will try to keep this as short and informative as possible so that I can get some of you to help this gal out- In need of pro advice and amateur instructions..! I know I know I am sure you all get sick of damn newbies cramping your sexy geeky style..
Anywhoozer,
I purchased an unlocked, rooted, and euro flashed 7 inch Galaxy Tab from Ebay
(Which is likely mistake #1!)
I was ultimately looking for a tab with internet and voice calls- the tab has the calling feature but no internet. Says I am connected to the EDGE network but cannot connect to market, login to email, set up accounts, etc. (Just an added note, I could care less about 3g/2g/10g/whatever! I just want internet, speed is nice but not necessary) So the major issue here is when attempting to use the browser, I am redirected to Tmobiles website.
Yes, I have googled "T-mobile redirect" but let's just save time and space and call me dumb
Moving on..
I contacted the seller, he said to download and install root explorer, I did, correctly, (thankful for kindergarten instructions found online) but it did not change anything.
Perhaps you could help me. Here is what I have collected while browsing relative issues via google..
Apparently I need a modem switcher? (How, what?)
Or do I need to change or "fake" the APN settings? (repeat)
Is my tmobile "phone" sim card (which includes a data plan) compatible?
blahblahblahblahblah.. and everything else you have heard before
P.S HELP?
try to get a config sms from your provider... this could help to set up your apn and browser config

Anyone have a list of VZW phones that have the VoLTE update?

Topic. I can't activate Advanced Calling/HD Voice on my line because I'm on a business account and my N6 is not an official vzw device.
My Moto X (1st gen) that I usually put my sim card back into when I need to make vzw account changes hasn't received the VoLTE update yet (so it's not an available option when I go into my account and try to add it). So which phones have? Is there a full list or if anyone can post individual devices it would be much appreciated.
Wouldn't Verizon people be the best to ask?

Nexus 6, S5, Droid Turbo, 6S's, G3 I think that's it.
BTW my brother's got an S5 on a business account and HD calling is turned on so maybe check w/ your phone admin. and see if he can turn it on for you.

Thanks for your help, the problem isn't the business account, it's that the combination of the business account and the non-vzw device (I think). I can't make any changes to the account while I've got my sim card in my N6, so when I need to, I put it back in my Moto X. But...
When I have the sim card in my N6 and go to my VZW business account page > click on my line > go to Add/Remove Features > I have a check box to enable HD Voice. But when I try to add it I get the following error "Please ensure all required features are selected for 555-555-5555." I think this is due to the non-vzw device status. There are only two required sections on the page, and I've selected an option for both of them.
Yet when I have the sim card in my Moto X, the HD Voice check box is no longer there...So I'm hoping if I can get a hold of one of those devices you listed and pop my sim card in, the check box will reappear and I'll be able to add it for my line.
And since I have a business account I can't use this page (http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/advanced-calling.html) to add it like another user suggested, because that one wants me to login to the regular My Verizon service, not the business one...

I'm not sure which part you're referring to working fine. If you mean HD Voice/VoLTE works on the Nexus 6, I agree, I'm not disputing that.
I'm having a problem adding HD Voice to a business line that has a Nexus 6 attached to it.
For consumer VZW accounts, is HD Voice added to the entire account (but only works on the phones that are compatible) or is it added individually per line like with a business account?

right, so either its the combo as you stated before, or someone is giving you bad intel.
I have a consumer account with one device, the Moto version Nexus 6 and its working....cant answer the other questions, but from how I enabled it, I would surmise that is is added per line

OK thanks, so "VZW account page > click on your line > go to Add/Remove Features > select the check box to enable HD Voice" Is basically what you did to add it?
And I'm not sure who you mean is giving me bad intel, this is all stuff I've tried myself.

Your right, it won't work on a business line. U need a Verizon phone with HD calling to turn it on for that line.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Premium HD app
Just to update the thread... I got my hands on a Note 4, popped my sim card in, and *finally* was able to successfully enable HD Voice on my My Verizon Business Account page. Then I had to enable the VoLTE Provision flag, and now I've got a Nexus 6 with VoLTE on my Business account.
On my My Verizon Business Account I had to UNCHECK "Decline HD Voice" under the Other Features section (an option I had never seen before) as well as CHECK "HD Voice" under the Advanced Calling Features section. It seems that for whatever reason with an unrecognized Nexus 6 on a Buisness account the "Decline HD Voice" option is selected, but "invisible"/fails to appear. So every time I tried to enable it I was also declining it and it caused the error I was getting.

Features disabled/removed on carrier variants of S10?

So I've seen plenty of discussion on features that the carrier variants support (if used on the same carrier) that the unlocked version does not.
What features (if any) does the unlocked version have that the carrier variants do not? From what I've read, it seems to be the following, but I cannot confirm:
-Built-in Caller ID removed
-No mobile data toggle button from notification area
-Some LTE bands masked out (this is based on some page I read somewhere, but I can't actually confirm)
Are there any other features disabled in the carrier variants? I have an unlocked S10+ and using it on TMobile. I would like to know what I will lose by flashing the TMobile firmware on it.
Verizon removes Samsung Cloud, They have for at least a few years now, as they have their own cloud option. Not sure about Tmobile tho.
I'm on an AT&T variant of S10. The mobile data toggle is hidden and can be revealed through ABD (there's a thread somewhere that shows how really well. Google search "Mobile data tile ADB" and it should be the first one). The thing I noticed when I have the tile back and use it to turn off my data, I get a notification saying some things won't work and I have to hit Turn Off again.
T-Mobile Germany only adds an installer that offers you to install their apps/partnered apps. Everything else is stock, no strings attached.

Possible alternative to OP7P T-Mobile stock ROM

This is not a tutorial, just a technical note. I have been able to restore my unlocked T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro (model GM1915) that was firmware build GM31CB, with the GM21AA for models GM1911 and GM 1917. YMMV.
I have not experienced any issues with LTE or wifi calling, or text messages. I immediately received and successfully installed an OTA. The only difference I've seen so far is the wifi-calling icon now says "V♂WIFI" (still works though) and default ring tone.
Before you ask why didn't I just use the MSMTool to install the international version.... Some may find themselves in my predicament, where they are Linux or Mac users and the MSMTool.exe is for Windows. I tried a Windows VM but was only partially successful. The T-Mobile download links I found were broken and GM21AA is easily found.
Follow up: I've figured out that the male symbol is actually "oiP" to spell VoiP. Another note is that swiping from edge left to center used to bring up curated news, a feature I liked, but now it brings up a tray with widgets like a parking tool. I'm starting to think that the tiny differences I'm noticing are differences in the updates because T-Mob was behind on the releases. Also, I neglected before to mention that the ROM was installed via TWRP.

You can get that back by installing Nova launcher and the Google companion app. The international version is leaps and bounds better than the hack job TMo did. For being optimized for Tmos network I have way better performance on the international version. MMS messages wouldn't always download, sms would hang. On the international version everything just works. You think it would be the other way

How To Guide [ROOT] Enable 5g, VOLTE and call screening in unsupported countries.

Hello Guys
I managed to enable 5G, VOLTE and call screening in Bahrain (Unsupported Country).
Follow the steps below to get these services.
1. Get rooted and install Magisk [Guide Link].
2. Download VOLTE module in magisk to have VOLTE after reboot [Guide Link].
You should have VOLTE now.
3. Download Network Signal Guru [App Link].
Give it Root access
Click The Three dots and choose Forcing Control
Choose [1]SIM 1 (it might be sim 2 for you, depending on which sim u using for mobile data)
Choose [3] NR MODE SETTINGS
Choose [4]SA+NSA
Reboot
You should have 5g now.
4. To get call screening, download and install Market Enabler [APP LINK]. and give it root access.
5. Enable VPN and set it to USA. I used VPN Master with the 7 days trial (Make sure to cancel subscription in Google Play so you dont get charged after the 7 days)
6. Open Market Enabler and select USA.
7. Make sure you have the latest version of the phone app, and join beta if possible.
8. Now while both VPN and Market Enabler is set to USA, clear cache from phone app
9. Open phone app and go settings and you should see Spam and Call Screen. if it didnt show .. just keep clear cache and try again till it show (I had to try multiple times till it worked).
Note: u wont have to have VPN on after this (One time step only), however whenever u reboot ur device or it turns off. Once the phone is ON make sure to do step 6 to not lose call screening.
thanks' a lot
i will try it at night
could you check your dm please? thank you
Does your network drop out, and shows no service for a while before resetting the value and returns to LTE?
These may be the most prominent features missing on Wildcard.
There are more however that need research:
1) LTE Carrier Aggregation is limited to only 2 carriers
2) LTE 256 qam upload is missing
3) ENDC NR CA doesnt seem to work (maybe?)
I've tried to crack the 1st point without any success - I presume the /vendor/firmware/carrierconfigs/confseqs "lte_ca_0.common" confseq file (the names are in the headers of the files) includes mnc specific combinations inside of it, so editing of it in some form is required.
You can do
Code:
for file in ./*;echo $file;strings -n5 $file;end
in the confseqs (or manifests) directory to see all the names in the headers.
These files luckily do not seem to be signed or encrypted, however they are binary blobs and hence unreadable. I see references to CLZ4 in the header of some of these files, however trying to unlz these files doesn't work, likewise binwalk and other tools detect nothing. Possibly compiled protobufs? Would need to trace through how these files get handled and by what service on the phone.
The second point is doable, /vendor/firmware/carrierconfigs/cfg.db is an sqlite database where carriers get their confseq files assigned. The quickest way to play around with replacing the Wildcard profile for the "unsupported countries" is to edit the regional_fallback table and country_code 0 for another carrier_id from the confnames table. The file can be replaced on the filesystem via creating a simple Magisk module zip. Some of these profiles do have 256 qam upload enabled in them, I used dk_telia (656) and it works fine. This also enabled DSS for 5G, something for which the 5G nvitem toggle in NSG didnt account for.
Third one seems to be active, atleast it reports ENDC NRCA combinations to the network via ue capability messages, however it does not seem to go active when network conditions are met. Hence I assume it is a case similar to the LTE CA one where NRCA would have to be enabled.
if there is no 5G in your country, then maybe there is no infrastructure for it, tuning your phone I dont think will fix that.
THX ALOT
Thanks a lot. This is helpful.
Could this work to enable Call Recording? If so, does anyone know the list of countries where call recording and screening are both supported?
Thank you for sharing
Will try it today, and get back to you.
