Question Who is going to root S23? - Samsung Galaxy S23

Are you going to root your (new) Samsung S23 device?
This will trip Knox, but you can do customization and backup the Data.

I switched from the rooted Pixel7 to the S23 precisely because it can offer me everything even without root

Would you mind explaining what things were you achieving with root on the Pixel 7 that you can get without root on the S23?

5G,VoWifi,VoLTE, call recording(CSC), button remap(GoodLock, sideActions), launcher tweaks - GoodLock

And even on Pixel 7 without root, it was possible to turn off 4G, Wifi, or turn off the mobile phone without unlocking the phone. Samsung doesn't allow it without unlocking.

Well you can force reboot the phone and then go into recovery/download mode effectively making the phone offline.

yes, I know, but not everyone knows that
In addition, Samsung always sends the last location before resetting.

S23 - call recording - possibility of changing CSC ?
I know the question is probably too early, but it is essential for my pre-order:D Does anyone know if it will be possible to change the CSC and activate call recording in the S23? (...

activating VoLTE

Have finally found the VoLTE settings on the phone but for some reason when I activate it using. *#*#4636#*# it deactivated as soon as I leave the page. Is this because my mobile provider (3 UK) doesn't support it on the Oneplus 3t?

Do you have the volte switch in your settings ?
VoLTE is a feature that is provisioned by your carrier. Most carriers will not provision VoLTE unless they have an open policy (allows all capable devices), or if you are using a carrier-branded phone. For the second option, lots of carriers claim that it is to ensure stability and quality of service, though I suspect that's all BS they spew in an attempt to sell more of their own phones.
Anyhow, try to find out if your carrier provisions VoLTE to unlocked/unbranded phones. If not, activating the VoLTE setting within the phone will not do anything.
I'm in an AT&T HD Voice coverage area.. never been able to use it or even see if it works. The build.prop edits seem to work for some but I've never been able to get it to work at all.. Could be AT&T blocking it of course since I don't have an AT&T device really on any of my 4 lines.. All unlocked non-carrier phones.

No issues at all for me. USA TMO.
Sent from my OnePlus 3T using XDA Labs
It is toggled on under status bar together with VoWifi but no idea how to activate it. I suspect my carrier doesn't allow it yet for this phone.
I seem to now have been able to activate it by *#800# but still no joy. I'm guessing this is due to three blocking it rather than my phone.
I use the VoLTE enabler in Magisk and once I enable and restart I have no issues. Workout it I don't get HD calling and any call I make, my phone drops from LTE to H. I'm on AT&T.
OP3T on Three UK. Been using crDroid Pie recently and i'm now able to make VoLTE calls. It comes and goes though. The options are in Settings and 'Enabled'. Phone Test shows VoLTE Provisioned. VoLTE icon show up in Status Bar.
Most of the time when i make a call i still see the Signal Icon drop from '4G' to 'H', but if i repeat dial a few times it latches on to VoLTE. I'm not sure why the inconsistency, but my 4G reception is weak and prone to disappearing entirely, so maybe that's why.
Three APN settings in ROM are same as always. No special 'ims' APN or settings.
@Eggstones
Edit: The package 'org.codeauora.ims' has been mentioned a few times for throwing up a 'Device is HD capable' Notification. I assume it's updates to this package that have enabled VoLTE?
@Dirk
I can get the volte to work fine but not the WiFi calling. I'd love to get that working ok.

It's working for me. Turned off Mobile, enabled Wifi calling and had no problem making a call. I think the necessary settings have been added to the ims packages that are commonly included in Pie custom ROMs now.
What ROM are you using at the moment?

As i said, it's working on Pie ROMs. It's not going to start working for you unless you update. It's impossible to say if the same will apply when OOS Pie is released. Maybe, maybe not.

No. I have never tried to install one. Not sure how to do it. I'm aware of various guides but haven't taken the plunge. The furthest I got was rooting some old phones.

You wouldn't need to Root. Everything else is a doddle on this phone. You might give it some thought. The obvious thing is to find out what the differences are and weigh up the pro's and cons. If Battery life is your absolute priority then OOS might be better. If wifi calling is your priority then custom ROMs are the answer. Gotta decide where you might gain, and where you might lose out.
If you decide to go for it, this is a good guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877
Of course that is for the OP5 so you wouldn't use the software linked in that thread, but the principal is the same. The equivelent software for this phone is available here. The guide gets you through the important steps of unlocking Bootloader and getting TWRP on your phone. Beyond that it's easy as Pie to get a custom ROM on your phone.
Just ask if you need help. I can link you to the files you'd need.
Thank you. I might give it a go later this week

No volte support on sm-n950U1 (USA unlocked)...??

Hi friends, I bought unlocked 64gb, single sim version of note 8 from New York last week but when I tried to use it with "Jio" sim in India, I found that phone does not support volte. Neither I could find any option in settings to activate that. So, how can I activate volte in the Said handset. Presently, using volte through "jio4gvoice" app. Pls help.
There is a thread about switching USA Carriers.
If you have, the right files you can get VOLT and other features working. At lest in the USA.
don't update this app!!

I am using unlocked gn 8-N950U1 in the US with tmobile, I get VoLTE and video calling as well as wifi calling.

For me, I just leave it there. It is completely up to you. It's just really small app, it won't take that much space. I leave it there just in case we update firmware from Samsung, video calling settings might be lost and we have to do the settings again. By the way, I'm glad it works for you there.
I leave mine as well...I like playing in settings and other apps...it is really a useful tool once you get used to its search feature

Hello Amit,
I have the same phone At&T Note8 with Android 7 unlocked, trying to run JIO VOLTE.
I understand the steps and tried, it did not work for me, no icon for VOLTE nor i can make any calls.
Can you please share the S/W version and steps you enabled ? I have been stuck from a week
Also, phone is asking for a 'number' when i enable the RCS , i gave the same JIO number it did not accept. Did you also get that prompt ? Is your RCS enabled ?
Thanks.
Dear friend, I just followed the steps mentioned in this thread and it's working fine till date without any issues. Just recheck you might have missed something. And about sw version will let you know in a day as the phone is of my uncle. Onething more, after following the steps did you check in settings menu and was volte option showing there after you followed the steps?

This worked great for me thank you.
Works on Android 7.0, but not on Android 8.0
Thanks for the update. I have been using VoLTE in India using this method since last Aug 2017. However after recent official Android Oreo update on 17th March 2018, I am unable to invoke the IMSSettingsLaunchActivity using any Shortcut application. Using "QuickShortcutMaker" app when I tried to invoke this activity, I got the error message:
"Sorry. You cannot launch this activity from this app because it requires some additional permissions to launch."
This was working perfectly on Android 7.0.
Any alternate idea to enable VoLTE switch (aka IMS Service switch)? Through ADB? (No rooting please).
Thanks.

Whenever I click on Ims launcher activity error comes as no data found.

Yes it's not working on Oreo. There are a few posts on here about it, I saw on one person's posts that I would have to find again that they have came up with a java programme that can get pass the OTP or one time passcode to access the IMS settings. I haven't tried it yet, but want to try that out soon

This is based on rooting which I want to avoid af all times since many of my org related apps would stop working on a rooted phone.
I had downgraded my S8(Sprint unlocked) phone to Nougat long back because of this issue. I can't upgrade till the issue with ims doesn't get resolved on Oreo rom.

Note 8 Android Pie Quirks

Ok.. so i got my pie update with One UI last night. COOL.. i love it.. laggy at first, after full reset, it works just fine, smooth and fast.. snappy. battery life is great.. However, after using it for awhile and after restoring backup, i have some quirks..
1. Samsung now do not allow SD Card to be used together with both sim cards.. previously i have been using dual sim and SD card via an adapter.. now it just says "SIM Card Tray Slot Problem. There seems to be something in your SIM Card tray slot that doesnt belong there. Check it and try again".
I saw somewhere in this forum, that there is a method that can fix this issue, but i require root access.. DAMN..
2. Call recorders is disabled for third party apps.
Is there a native call recorder in the note 8 android 9? like when i use note 2, i just need to tweak the CSC file and the native call recorder will come out. Is it still present?
If the native call recorder is still present, i am very willing to root my phone.
Samsung pay is just something that i would love to have, but not a must. Call recorder is important.
I travel often, and frequently receive instructions from bosses or customers on what they want, and it is often lengthy.. without a pen and paper, and phone stuck to my ear, i rely on call recorders to record what they want, and then when i am back in office or hotel room, or somewhere quiet, i can replay what they want and work on a proposal to them or quotation. This is important to me and the reason i forked out to buy pro version of the call recorder app i was using previously.
my question is, if some kind hearted person can assist me, is as follows:
1. Is android call recorder still present? will tweaking the CSC file or installing an xposed module bring it back? (thats how i did it on my very old note 2)
2. If i root my note 8, secure folders wont work. Samsung Pay wont work. will masking root allow samsung pay? if not, will i still be able to use samsung pay on my Samsung Gear Sport instead.. currently i use samsung pay mainly on my samsung gear sport anyway.
Yup call recording is still there. I've installed HadesRom and seems to enable it.
-Yes, if you root your phone you'll lose Samsung Pay and Secure Folder forever since it triggers Knox. I have no idea if you can still be able to use Pay with your smartwatch.

You can use Solid Explorer to make encrypted folders (with fingerprint unlock if you want). You can even make the secure folders on your sdcard.
Is root now available for Pie? Last time I checked, if you have Snapdragon and upgraded to Pie you lost root since it's bootloader 5 and the highest bootloader that has root is 3. If you have an Exynos, then a Knox is tripped and you can never have Samsung pay again.

You don't need to root your phone. Just change your region to THL or INS or XXV, it'll give you native call recording with SPay. I've changed my CSC from XSG/CAC/XSG to THL/CAC/XSG and call recorder is working great.

Still not for Snapdragon, as far as I know, but it is for Exynos. I've seen some custom ROMs claiming to have Samsung Pay working, but I can't verify that, as I don't use or even care about Samsung Pay, despite it being used and supported in my country.

There isn't any pie firmware that 2 sims and sd card option will work. Apparently Samsung put in a check for that and disabled it.
You'll have to go back to oreo for now.
Or root your phone (Warning: this will remove Samsung pay, secure folder for good) and change out a service.jar file.

Android pie for note 8 comes with its own call recorder. To activate it go to call settings. That option is right in front if you.
The SD card problem is still there I think. I have the same problem.

Here we go again. It's not there. It's controlled by csc. Mine is in xme, which doesn't allow call recording.
Anyhow I flashed custom Rom, got native call recording to work (still don't appear in the settings though) and samsung pay to work via my gear samsung gear sport.
And my Dual SIM with sdcard works now too.

Call recording is present, but you will loose hybrid sim as Samsung has blocked it in PIE Update.
After updating to PIE, i'm note able to use hybrid sim slot on my Galaxy Note 8. When i insert hybrid in Galaxy note 8 Pie, POPUP appears says sim card tray slot problem, but phone has read both behind and memory card. Pop does not get disable and stuck on the screen. Forcefully i need to remove the slot and reverse back to 1 sim and MC

Call recording is locked by csc. Been this way since samsung note2 or even before. You may have it due to your csc does not lock it.
As for dual sim and sdcard, yeah that's true. You'll need to root your phone or install a custom rom.

Unfortunately yes it is possible to do. There's plenty of tutorials for work arounds on how to clear the email linked to the device. I'm not 100% sure if this has changed in pie, but it was certainly possible before that. I hope you manage to retrieve your phone

First of all that sucks, sorry to hear that.
Second, if there is proper regulation in your country then reporting the IMEI to any operator should make the device useless in your country (it will not connect to a cellular network).

it seems that is the only choice so far , it just sucks that android doesn't require a password to switch the phone off when locked that would've at least given me time to track the phone with the authorities until the battery went down.

I just moved to Australia from India and I won't get VoLTE on my device. I scoured through the forums and I don't see a solution other than rooting. I can't root my device as it is my primary and I need to continue using my banking apps.
I checked with Optus and they support VoLTE. I verified the same with my friends. It works fine on their devices.
I get the option for wifi calling but I don't get the feature to work. (I have it on in the settings)
Can someone tell me if there is a way to get it work oither than rooting?

No, to enable VoLTE you MUST have root access, such a shame for OnePlus!!

Thanks brother. Appreciate your reply. I don't think I can root my device. Just going to use it for as long as I can and then switch to something better.
Have been using since oneplus one and had 6 devices but long for Oneplus.

Our device name is OPPO 10 Pro
The only reason to having root access for me is VoLTE
