Mobile Data connection issue - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hey,
I have a Note 9 came with original AFG firmware. I have flashed it with an Indian Android 10 firmware and used an Indian SIM to get their call recording feature.
Everything seems to be working as normal with call recording feature available, but I am now not able to use mobile data to update apps from Play Store, download mobile updates and the same with other apps. While mobile data works fine with some apps but doesn't worth with others.
If I use a VPN and set its region to India, everything works fine.
Any ideas? What could be wrong here?
Does it make any difference if I flash my own region's firmware and use Indian SIM to get the call recording?
Thanks

Does anybody know which versions of the Mate 10 Pro ROM/Firmware support wifi calling

Trying to get my mate 10 pro working on AT&T in the USA along with my LG Smartwatch. AT&T branded works great but still beta software so Android Pay won't work (which I want to use). Does anybody know of another version of the Mate 10 pro firmware that supports wifi-calling/enhanced LTE? My original firmware was C636 and that doesn't. If I can find another version that supports wifi calling, i can rebrand to that version - thanks!
Hi. I have the Mate 10 Pro model BLA-L29 - C432 and VoLTE works for me on Orange Romania
Flashed to the same branding and am experiencing the same issues as you.
We'll probably have to wait a while for a newer update to fix them.

AT&T branded is the only way. No other version supports the AT&T features.
The good news is, I'll have a new AT&T build on Funky shortly. No idea if it will fix your issues, but it's from December 9.
Awesome! I will update as soon as I see it! thanks
Got it installed. Still no joy on Android Pay (saying phone is rooted or beta software). I didn't notice anything different - once weird thing is that you can't delete digits from the dialer - a delete key is missing . Also weird that the phone boots with a "mobile data is off" message and you have to manually turn it on. Still can't pick which sim you want to default for calls or data (i rebranded a C636 Asia dual sim phone) - have to figure that out before my next trip to Asia (and using my 2nd SIM) - good 4G signal. I got wifi calling to work (at least the wifi calling notification is showing on the notification bar) and under "wireless & networks, wifi calling" it shows it on but under wireless and networks, mobile network under sim 1 is show it's disabled (guess that's still a software issue) and other AT&T features are working fine.
Any idea how to switch the primary sim for data?
Thanks for sharing the firmware updates - I'll install 'em as soon as you load 'em
hi guys
could you guys tell me which firmware is for ATT or Tmobile, because my mate 10 pro doesnt have wifi calling.
Thanks guys
BLA-A09 8.0.0.56(C07log) is the latest version (from funkyhuawei)
Whixh is the right hardware version for using / rebranding on AT&T
BLA-A09 8.0.0.56(C07log)
This is for AT&T
I meant the hardware. Are there different hardware versions or can they all be rebranded anyway

(Firmware Inside)Unlocked Samsung Note 9 - Finally Verizon Firmware With Wifi-Calling

Hi All,
I have been trying to follow all of these threads and waiting to get my hands on some VZW firmware since I am on verizon. I was rocking the Unlocked firmware but with only VOLTE , which is ok but I wanted to have backup for WIFI-Calling. I noticed in the other thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ock-odin-files-firmware-t3833205/post77449285) a user said to use Sam Mobile to download the firmware which Took about 5 hours. I figured the APP could maybe pull it if I typed in the right Model and Region. I tried using some different ones and the one that worked was the model : SM-N960U1 with "VZW" as the region. I have attached the screen shot and also uploaded to google drive for people to easily download.. Enjoy !!! The exciting thing is I used Odin with the said files on top of running the unlocked firmware and used the Home CSC and my data was kept safe. Basically everything was the same and it included the crappy Verizon apps but now I have wifi-calling .. sorry just a little excited..
The full Firmware name is this : N960U1UEU1ARH2/N960U1OYM1ARH2/N960U1UEU1ARH2/N960U1UEU1ARH2

By flashing the VZW firmware you also lose the samsung cloud and also the places and Caller ID/Spam feature. Maybe more but that is as much as I can tell.
For me that's not a big deal

I used vzw firmware and was able to use samsung cloud, use QuickShortCutMaker to run Samsung Cloud, then within the app, choose "SHow Samsung Cloud Icon" which will show with the apps.

One thing I just noticed is that, using android messages was I thought working 100 % but then I had people calling me saying they were texting me and I wasn't getting them.. They would get the SMS I sent but I would not be able to recieve. I switched to the Samsung Native app and bam my messages were there. I don't know if thats because I did not wipe first before doing ODIN or not ..

This is a common issues with newer Samsung phones. Their implementation of Advanced Messaging is half-assed and unfortunately you almost always have to stick with their SMS app to not have issues. Luckily the app has been updated a lot since the S7 days and is no longer a steaming pile of garbage.
XAA wifi calling is working fine with me.

Are you using Verizon as your wireless carrier? How did you turn it on?
My note 9 (unlocked XAA) doesn't have any options to turn on Wifi calling when my Verizon SIM is inserted. But Wi-Fi Calling turns on with a notification in the shade, and I can toggle via phone>menu>setting>wifi calling, when my T-Mobile SIM is in the phone.
@KidJoe
I did this on My device, Unlocked to VZW. It worked.
Wifi calling is located in Settings>Connections>Advanced Calling. Make sure you have a proper cel signal when you activate it.
Notes:
- As OP mentioned, Use the Home CS file and all of your existing settings, apps, etc won't get wiped.
- I was surprised that there were only like 6-7 crapps that came from Verizon. Mostly Yahoo mail and a couple games. The Verizon "Security & Privacy" and Cloud apps cannot be removed. I kept the voicemail and caller ID apps.
Otherwise, it seems like a pretty quick and easy fix.

Will you describe your process of firmware flashing to get this result please?
Also, out of the following which do you have?:
Samsung built in Caller ID/Spam
Samsung Cloud
WiFi calling works for Verizon, correct?

that is after flashing the rom in the OP though, right? (I mean that is how it is on my VZW branded Note8, GS9 and Gs8. Yes I have many phones.. don't ask)
I was reading NICEGYPT's post as if it was done on the unlocked without flashing which is why I asked.
Question though. Since I did flash my VZW branded GS8 with the unlocked/unbranded to get the Oreo beta, and back .. for that phone there were more steps than just flashing the rom... Requiring a factory binary and other home csc file, etc. That doesn't appear to be needed non the note 9, is that correctly?

Sorry man! I over looked the wifi calling. I don't have wifi calling at all. But I have rest you mentioned working fine. Caller ID, Samsung Cloud, Samsung visual voicemail.
for samsung cloud, cant you just install it?
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-cloud/samsung-cloud-2-2-08-release/
Guys, Samsung Cloud is already there but hidden, to get it to show, do this:
use QuickShortCutMaker to run Samsung Cloud, then within the app, choose "Show Samsung Cloud Icon" which will show with the apps.

Is there a way to get Samsung caller id/spam feature?
thank you for posting this! Will definitely try tonight on my unlocked Note 9 from BB, I did not realize that ordering the unlocked would disable wifi-calling with verizon.
Question: Will flashing the verizon firmware over my unlocked note 9 enable sending SMS via Wifi using the Android Messages app?
I'll be going on travel overseas, Wifi-calling is definitely nessasary for me, and sending SMS via Wifi using the stock android texting app would be icing on the cake
I also have US Unlocked from BB but on Verizon network.
Just to make sure that flashing this Firmware does not require OEM Unlock and won't disable Knox ?
hello
you don't need to reflash the firmware N960U and N960U1 are multi CSC so :
save all your data
- Power off the device
- remove the sim tray.
- Go to recovery , HOLD home ( or bixby button ) + Volume up together , and power up
- In recovery , chose factory reset .. This will give a warning and then reset everything
- Choose power off , in the recovery and insert sim tray .. you should do this before booting up as your CSC will be configured when you will start
- Power on the phone , wait and . then chose restart to system now when asked
- wait and after reboot , your CSC have change according the sim tray
some peoples do this without remouving the sim tray

Yes, it will be enabled. My text messages go through wifi when I am at a location where there are no cellphone signals but wi-fi.

Question remove as much AT &T bloat while preserving Wi-Fi calling and VVM on locked device??

I'm about to receive my first Galaxy device (a locked US S21 Ultra sold by AT&T) after being a Pixel/Nexus user for many years. I'd like to remove as much bloatware as possible while preserving features such as WiFi calling, Visual Voice Mail, etc. If I replace the 998U firmware with 998U1, does that result in no Wi-Fi calling? (idk why AT&T says Wi-Fi calling isn't supported on unlocked devices) Can I simply reinstall some .apk to enable those features after flashing the debloated firmware? Can AT&T userdata be flashed with a U1 firmware to preserve those features? Sorry for the noob questions, I'm going to read up on flashing Samsung devices and using Odin, but I'm trying to get an idea of what I need to do to debloat my phone while preserving those features (Wi-Fi calling is an absolute must, if it requires AT&T bloatware installed I'll just soldier on with that crap using up my storage...) Thanks for your time.
WiFi calling and HD Voice (AT&T version of VoLTE) work fine on my unlocked S21U.
There is no VVM. (you can sort of do it using Google Voice).
You should be able disable most AT&T stuff, and further if you wish use adb to remove.

VVM working great on my unlocked S21U on ATT
A lot of AT&T redundant junk that does nothing except use resources.
Disable carrier feedback (Google and Samsung too). AT&T Updates as well as it constantly runs in the background.
I use Karma Firewall and PD MDM to lock my AY&T 10+ down... and take out the trash.
Home - Package Disabler
The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.
www.packagedisabler.com
This package disabler* lets you set a widget to toggle checked apks on/off. I use it to toogle Google Play Services and Playstore on if I need them. This both protects me and greatly reduces battery usage. GPlayS needs to be on for Gmail to load. I am $ick of Google...
*choose the appropriate version. Been using this one for years, zero issues and no Playstore to screw it up. Low resource and battery consumption. Can be firewall blocked after setup.
You can try flash U1 firmware
S21 Ultra 5G SM-G998U1: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G998U1/XAA/G998U1UEU2AUB6
This is lastest version. almost bloatware will removed
How can i go back to ATT firmware from U1? I had flashed from ATT to U1 but 5G will not work for some reason. I was wanting to try to got back to stock to see if it works on U.

Curious why it's not working on mine. It installed from my OnePlus Pro 8 backup but when I opened it on the S21 Ultra it said not compatible. Guess I have to do some digging.
Edit: Couldn't find it in the store, so downloaded latest from apkmirror, installed and it's working now. Cheers

Question Enable call recording in default Phone app

Hi all,
I have a Samsung S21 Ultra SM-G998B/DS (bought from the United Arab Emirates) but now I'm using the phone in Srilanka, I got to know that the call recording feature is excluded in the UAE version of the firmware. Can you please help me to get the call recording feature to the default Phone app?
I search in the forum and found this thread. I want to do a similar thing, If I flash the current firmware with the stock firmware for my country will it work ?
Or is there any simple way to get this call recording functionality in the app ? like modified Phone apk ?
Thanks
~Kasun
Hi
before I have same problem with Note 20 Ultra 5G and found the solution that flash stock firmware with single CSC and in my case I used the Indonesia (XID) firmware and the call recording feature on default Phone app working well.
and check this also (same solution):
Call Recording
Hi! Is there any solution without rooting for good quality call recording on S21 Ultra? Okay, i know it google disabled this function since android 9/10. But on Mate20Pro there is an apk thats working on android 10 with good quality,recording...
forum.xda-developers.com
Does the XID CSC change affects the phone ? I mean the phone still remains a dual SIM phone?
Also, volte and WiFi calling are still there to XID CSC?

Changing CSC code

Hi I have found this video
apparently there is an option to enable phone recording without losing data. Did anyone try this procedure with note 9?
Apparently not every phone can be able to change this CSC code. I also have note 9 with 2 sins card, will I have be a le to use still 2 sims cards after this procedure?
Please help
Well It's working!
just tried it on my Note 10+ and worked like a charm.
but something I did different, is that I downloaded the last SamFW 4.1 from the website (the GUI is different), and I activated USB-Debugging.
Hi Just came across this and am looking to enable CR on my S21 ultra. Does it affect other applications like revolut ? I dont want to lose access to revolut and i want to change my CSC code to India so i can enable call recording but i dont think revolut is available in India yet ?
