Hi,can anyone tell me what the notification number means on my phone (No.1).I have had my phone for over a month and it has been there since the first time i switched it on from new.I have been looking at other members homescreens and no one else seems to have this? Picture of my homecreen will show you what i mean
regards mick
I think it's indicating what Line you are using on your phone
Some operators like Orange give you the ability to have 2 phone numbers/lines on 1 simcard
Cannot understand why it would be that as i have had the same sim card/same network on PAYG for years in lots of other phones aswell,strange but i need to know how to get rid of it sick of seeing it now.
Well i tried a different sim card and the number is still in the notification bar! Anyone else have any idea what it could be?
Not got a clue pal, i've never seen that before.
Does factory resetting your phone get rid of it? If not it's probably sim-card related.

yes, can confirm that..although LG´s way to implement this in statusbar is very odd..
Found it under settings/additional settings there is an option to select line 1 or 2 but no option to remove it from notification area.By selecting line 2 it just says call settings error unexpected response from network.If i call my network would they be able to do anything to remove the double line setting if it has anything to do with my sim?
thanks to all replies

to get rid of that, I would:
- edit frameworks
or
- make a morph
How do i do that? bit of a newbie still learning,phone is rooted and running Modaco's custom rom FR15 but any chance of explaining more on editing framework ?
The phone bricked during an OTA so I had to take it to an AT&T Service Center who blasted the phone and installed the latest version, all seemed well until I got home.
WIFI will not switch on the WIFI icon goes green and the slider goes over but nothing. If you clean and then go back to the WIFI it reports off and the slider will not move to ON.
I factory reset the device in case it was something weird but no - cannot enable WIFI.
Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this or is it back to the store for me and a defective phone
Thanks for any advice offered.
Chris
Maybe it is a device problem if no-one else has experienced this?
What country do you live?? Is very known that the Samsung Galaxy has wifi problems with some countries and carriers, I made an apk to solve this, but your phone need to be rooted...

Does anyone know how to get rid of this annoying wifi icon on the left? I have tried and tried to get rid of it and it will not stay away?
I am also very intrigued by that icon, I hope someone here knows about it....

You have it too?
I can't get rid of it. It keeps coming back. It started after the recent update.
Do you use macrodroid?

No
I only get the icon on the left when I've connected to any open network that needs to open a web page to complete the connection.

I will swipe it away and it comes back
I am not sure if this helps but my 2 cents -
Own a 128gb N9500 from HK
Based in the US (friend brought it here)
I can add US based credit cards in the Samsung Pay app
Able to pay using Samsung Pay
Cannot change CSC to US so stuck with HK offers
I think as long as your bank supports Samsung Pay, you can add it regardless on where you got your device supporting Samsung Pay. Too bad that there's no dual sim option here in the US but if there were, I would have bought it in a heartbeat.
it happened to my phone as well after the update. what I did is just put the "auto-protect" in OFF.
Setting-> connection-> wi-fi -> advanced (on the top) -> secure wi-fi Auto protect -> OFF
hope this will help
Hi,
I've an Galaxy Note 8 (canadian, SM-N950W), buyed directly from samsung, so it's factory unlock and not in any carrier database.
My carrier offer Volte and Vowifi on S7, S7 Edge, and iPhone. I've an Volte capable sim card, and the volte component is activated in my account whit my carrier (i've an S7 edge in my carrier database).
Now, i want to get it to work whit my note 8. I've done many search on the web, and found nothing that work. I've try to get a shortcut for the ims settings, but it said "not found any csc feature", and the apps won't open.
After that, i've thinked about many other alternative, but i'm not sure if it will work, that the reason i'm asking before doing anything wrong and brick my phone. I know all the samsung carrier-specific function is on the CSC. I can just root and edit the config file, but i don't want to void my warranty, and get limited to 80% of charge.
So, another thing i'm thinking, is to flash the s7 edge CSC on my note 8, that already have the volte function enabled on it. Will it work, because it's not the same model?
I've tried too opening my firmware (downloaded from the web for my carrier), extract it, but when it's time to access the csc img.ext4 file, i get a "corrupted archive" from winrar, that let me doing anything.
Any ideas? Thank!

My logic says, surely the easiest way would be to
flash your carriers Note 8 stock Rom with Odin
If this is possible. This way you most likely to keep
everything official. (Knox etc)
I was in a similar situation.
In my case i had a branded Note 8 and
unintentionally flashed unbranded Samsung firmware.
I did not also have volte and wifi calling etc.
No shortcuts work
So i flash my correct branded carrier firmware
All was working again.
I have no carrier branded bloat, as i uninstalled
them.
This for me was the easiest option
Good luck.
Thank for replying willcor
In your case, can you access the ims settings shortcut? And then, enable Volte and get it to work?
Are you rooted? And does the note 8 is officialy supported by your carrier?
FInaly, can i just flash the csc whit odin so i will keep my file, or i need to flash the complete rom, and loosing my data?
Thank!

Firstly, i am not rooted. Stock branded carrier firmware.
As i already had my sim enabled for volte, wifi calling
etc with carrier i re flashed the carrier firmware
Volte appeared "automatic" after flashing. (Short while later ) For me the easiest way.
It was unintentionally that i had flash unbranded
Samsung firmware.
I was originally on branded firmware.
(Vodacom /Vodafone.)
I soft bricked my device while
beta testing.
When i was on this unbranded Samsung firmware
i noticed that there was no volte, wifi calling
and no stock Hiya spam software. etc.
I used QuickShortcutMaker to try and enable
shortcut to wifi calling. No luck.
I'm only suggesting you check this option out
... if possible, then surely it the best way to go.?
Further just flashing to change CSC gave me all sorts of
issues.
I landed up having XEF (France) and my device showing 32 gig storage.! Instead of 64 gig.
then flashing again i landed up on XFE (SAMSUNG)
Sorted storage out to 64 gig.
Then again i Flashed carrier firmware
4 x files ( did not flash home CSC but the other CSC
which resetted device and all is well and knox 0 x0
Bottom line is that
all my previous devices are rooted. So i knew what i was doing.
When i soft bricked my device etc.
so i did not panic.
So i suggest make sure or
look for a relevant video etc on YouTube
if not sure
Yes you are going to lose your data. So do a backup.
Flashing the "home CSC" basically is a dirty
flash.. You don't loose anything.
Which i think is not going to help you.?
Good luck.
Hi,
I've flashed the firmware of an operator that support the note 8, but still not any settings for it in the phone app setting. Can't still access ims setting too.

for me the ,the best option /scenario would be .....
1) Your service provider that you enabled volte ,wifi calling etc with .
2) Further your sim requirements ,for me i had to have sim 64 or higher ( with correct CSC of carrier .)
3) Then obviously that same service provider ( above ) stock Note 8 firmware ,if compatible with your Note 8 model /device etc .
According to what i experience surely , above should be enough to get it enabled .?
Plse note.....
i would not use another carrier firmware etc ,
(as in this case) just because it should have similar firmware .
Try to align your options ,to make it easier .!
This for me should be an key option ,not another provider that has similar functions etc .
Remember you got no root ,would prefer to keep knox 0 x 0 etc .
so your options are limited .?
good luck
Hi,
Still not getting it to work. But today, i've noticed LTE+ icon appear intermittent. It's switch to 3G when i place call.
No any settings of VOLTE.
Can't find any solution to root my phone (snapdragon), because i've the new update. I'm pretty sure it's a way to get it to work, but don't know how. It's just software issues because my operator was activated it in my account.
Hi,
Finaly, after 3 !!! factory reset, gessing whit 3 different carrier, i've activated it, i've it in the settings.
Now, when i make a call, it switch to 4G. I think it's the APN. I know my carrier need 3 apn for the VOLTE, and still have only one. I will try to find the 3 apn setting today.
For the vowifi, i see it in the notification center, a toggle to activate it, but it's do nothing.
I've successfully found the ims, there are 4 for my operator. But i can't find the IMS APN type in the option given in the phone.... How i can enable it?

If you want it to be easier call your carrier and have them add the imei # to their database then the imei will be whitelist and reprovisioned...then you can just use the unlocked firmware or the full carrier Firmware...

I have posted many times with the same info...Several others have as well..
Thanks for sharing though...just search IMS BlueFox721 in XDA search and you will get more info than the video explains as there are other settings to do as well..
Thanks again for sharing
that video and related info is only to add the missing features if you are not on the right csc.
but it wont fix the issue where the carrier is only allowing imei from phones they sell to use these enhanced voice features. In the case of Rogers and others, you can try calling them all you want but in the end they wont do squat to white list your imei. maybe some other providers will yeild to your requests but Rogers is know to not white list non carrier phones.
I successfully got HD Voice turned on and working. But no sign of Wi-Fi calling. I was searching through shortcutmaster and came across a menu where I can turn on wifi calling. It isnt grayed out, however it wont actually toggle over. The screenshot posted is from tapping the menu dots in the top right part of the screen. I assume I need these filled in to enable it. Any ideas on how to populate the right info. Im on verizon, but got the Note 8 from Samsung, carrier unlocked. SM-N950U1
