Hey guys wondering if any of you could help me out. Rogers is simply useless. I bought a telus note 5 unlocked and using it on rogers. Now for some odd reason VoLTE isn't working for me. (Voice/video) the option is the phone settings is turned on but whenever I make a voice call it goes down to 4g. I've called rogers thinking maybe they need to enable it on their end. But they said because my phone isn't a rogers phone it won't work.

I told them that shouldn't matter because all Canadian note 5 are made with the same internals and everything and I even flashed the rogers firmware. Now I was thinking it's probably because I'm not on a share everything plan (on a corporate plan) but even then I can't see how that might be the issue. Or maybe I need a new sim??

I'm also on the newest firmware.

Does anyone have any idea on what the issue may be and how to fix it? It would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Have you tried changing your csc to Rogers?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
As you can see from my post (few above yours), if I was able to use Rogers VoLTE on T-Mobile phone, there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be able to with your w8.

I only lost Rogers carrier aggregation on band 7+4 (not sure about 4+12,i would have to drive to Malton for that) which anyways kicks in very rarely.

Please note that you have to be in the area that Rogers towers support VoLTE.

Also note that lately due to either mobilicity switchover, or excess of iPhone users getting VoLTE, the support in certain areas goes in and out.

For example, most of my incoming calls this morning were going straight to voicemail according to my wife that has been trying to reach me.

Around noon I was able to verify on one phone call that in fact I can use volte with TMO phone, then nothing for the rest of the day. Spent couple of hours outside 5-7 and every call went to hspa. Thought I was going nuts and imagined the VoLTE call I made today. Then 15 minutes ago for the period of 15 minutes every call was on LTE. Now hspa again. Sure sign they are working on the network or just messing it up ?.

Anyways hope that clears it somewhat for you.

[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
OK, more info. I mentioned that VoLTE has been spotty for me past few days. Yes, Fido/Rogers do discriminate based on IMEI, meaning even when I connect, the phone gets recognised as NOT Rogers phone, and once I lose VoLTE, it will not connect again.

Sometimes discrimination code might glitch, and allow VoLTE on boot up. Then rinse and repeat.

So far, they are not able/willing to manually input imei to allow list. So sadly, no VoLTE for imported or third party phones, even if Canadian.

Hope that clears it some more.

Even i was surprised as 64Gb doesnt show up on rogers website.

Go for it bro :D got mine and loving the LTE+ features.
[Galaxy Note5 General] djnoicatse:
Not saying i dont believe you but wouldn't that mean any iPhone 6s/6s plus purchased from the apple store wouldn't work as well since its technically not a rogers phone? And if true That's total BS!! Also, I've been hearing mixed opinions on the matter. But I heard the person you're calling whether voice/video must have a VoLTE enabled phone...not sure if it's true or not. Maybe someone can confirm.

I wonder if it has anything to do with my IMS APN settings. Anybody with a rogers bought note 5 willing to take a screenshot of their APN settings? Both IMS and LTE just in case I'm missing anything. I may go to rogers today to talk to them about it.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Believe me I talked to the technicians, as well as copy existing rom from Rogers 32gb version. Even went so far as to change imei with xposed. I think they also use samsung serial number, so they see through it. Also manually copy ims settings onto tmobile firmware, as well as enable Rogers csc on tmobile firmware which actually gives you Rogers ims settings automatically (guess it's imbeded in firmware), with only few lines of discrepancy from Rogers one, which I corrected. I'm not only talking about setting APN, talking about embedded ims settings app that only shows with secret codes app. Without success.

The only thing I haven't tried yet is to convert file system and back, the way someone suggested in the past, to regain volte after coming back from custom rom (still don't see how that would work, but it's been confirmed by user for that particular situation).

As for the person having to have VoLTE phone, it only applies if you want to have video conversation with said person. Voice call, only you have to have it working.

Regarding ios devices. It is easier to discriminate against android as the manufacturers don't have as much pull, or are not willing to force the issue. Not really sure how iPhone from apple store would behave. But only seing how they went out of their way to block non Rogers android phones.

Hey maybe it is something to do with firmware, but as soon as you tell them imei, you'll hit the roadblock.

Fellow Canuks !

Can anyone kinda baby sit me through rooting my phone please? I just got the phone couple days back, I am on N920W8VLU1AOI1 firmware. But all the instructions on here are super confusing ! I am not sure what works and what doesn't ! I am used to Odin and flashing, been rooting since 2010 my first android lol, but Note 4 gave me trouble and now i dont want to screw this up ! Please ~

Matt
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
I didn't have much trouble with the guide on here. There was some backups to take like EFM or something then it was Odin flash a new recovery and then it's rooted kernel. Very first thing is the recovery because theres no root for the stock kernel

Then head over to the T-Mobile forum for roms
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
More info regarding Rogers policy on unlocked phones not purchased through Rogers /Fido.

It answers official stance regarding apple and wifi calling, and by extension VoLTE that concerns us on Android.

Even though it worked for people for 3 weeks since launched and it does not anymore.

What kind of battery life / SOT values are you guys seeing on your devices? I'm not getting more than 10 hours battery life / 3 hours SOT.
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
I just followed this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3205073

And I believe COJ is newer than AOI. I did it on my phone and I don't think I had AOI cause I would have updated right after I got it.

The truth is I think it's pretty hard to brick the phone. You have fastboot which is the lowest level, then recovery then the OS. So long as you can get into fastboot mode you can flash anything you still need. That's how I understand anyway. I also used PhilZ recovery not TWRP. I think when I tried to flash TWRP it didn't work.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mathew101986:
Thanks a lot man ! Looks like i was browsing the TKHED way of rooting, this is baby steps and is helping me. I am going to try TWRP and Noble kernel. Which kernel are you using ?

Matt
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
I use arter kernel. Very good kernel, and I use Rapture ROM (its basically stock but debloated a bit with some other tweaks). After root and new kernel plus maybe an optimised rom thia phone is way better than stock.

Hello .. ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] dbzgod:
Nice, I'm still waiting on Bell to release these >_<

Been itching for 64GB Silver since the August announcement.

I also noticed that Bell and Rogers lowered their 2yr contact price on the 32GB by $100 dropping it down to $259, making it a amazing choice for those getting on contract.

Telus lowered it as well but only if your bundling with their other services..
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Awesome! ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] kojobaafi:
Nice, looks like I'll be giving them a call this week. Thanks

I went around all day Sunday to Costcos and Rogers stores and they all either said "wait a week for them to arrive" or they have no clue they even existed in Canada. :(
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Yeah, I got 64gb next day after finding out Saturday night, after eating my shoes with t-mobile version. Still think that black version looks best, so that's what I got.

There's a lot of the Black 64gb floating around now. I was able to grab the last of 25 for the silver titanium 64gb at a Tbooth yesterday.

Can someone please give me the pros of getting the note 5 through a carrier (buying outright) vs buying the international variant. I have a few days to return my 6p and I have decided to get a 64gb note 5. The problem is bell only has the phone in black and I'd rather have titanium or white.

I'm trying to decide if I should get one on eBay, or go with the black version from Bell.
[Galaxy Note5 General] DAGr8:
International version means no official samsung repair center will ever work on your device. Also some ppl mentioned volte issues

I wish I could. Rogers refused to sell me the phone without an account. I need to be a customer to buy one. I have a great plan with Bell that I don't want to mess up or leave, hence the need to buy the phone outright.

I believe Bell (and Wind) is the only one who will sell a phone outright to someone without an account.
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
Can anyone do me a solid and confirm for me what APN Telus uses? I have a Rogers phone which is unlocked and works perfectly on WIND when I jam the SIM in but it doesn't seem to find an APN with Telus.

Don't you have any friends with Rogers? Any of them can stroll in Rogers store and buy it with your cash.

[Galaxy Note5 General] imsiin:
Hey all just picked up my note 5 this past Sunday.. Love the phone but I'm itching to root it but unlike my note 3 I don't want to lose nfc and warranty.. Is anyone else having issues using the fingerprint reader to unlock the phone? Compared to the nexus 6p it's flaky as hell. Also is there a hack that allows you to wake and unlock your phone with a fingerprint like the nexus 6p?
[Galaxy Note5 General] mojook:
I also got the note 5 coming from the 6p. The fingerprint sensor on the note is slightly annoying. I found you have to press the home button and use the fingerprint sensor simultaneously.

Due to a hiccup with Google on my 6p, I may be forced to return the note. I'm kind of relieved that I may be able to live with the Nexus after all. I still slightly prefer the note, but like you I want to root for titanium backup and to remove ads.

On another note, is Android pay, or even Samsung pay coming to Canada anytime soon?
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
Ive found the finger print reader on both the 6p and note 5 to be pretty much flawless actually.

Prefer the 6ps location however..much better on the back of the device.

Im also looking for a better way to wake/unlock the note via fingerprint.kinda stupid to have to use a button to wake then FP to unlock lol.as mentioned above You can press and hold the home button to wake and unlock in one shot but its slow as hell compared to the 6p and your still having to press the home button down somewhat

Sent from my Note 5, Note 4 or Nexus 6
[Galaxy Note5 General] imsiin:
Only reason I didn't stay with the nexus was Rogers only had the 32gb and its just too small. The fp reader doesn't work 100% of time for me but maybe I need to restore it. It's ridiculous that you have to press the home button then swipe up to unlock then scan your finger.... Ugh.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mojook:
You don't have to do all that. Just keep your finger on the home button (like a long press) when you press it, and it will unlock. It's still slow, but better than the home button, swipe and finger unlock.

Yes! Just ROOT it ! NFC still works, I pay with my visa CIBC NFC card rooted. Samsung Pay will come in 2018, just ROOT! Best ROM for me is forever loco on tmobile ROM section.

Don't worry about warranty, I have been rooted and broke two screens and Samsung fixed both screens while rooted. Rooted and warranty is a myth, unless you brick your phone lol.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
I think you're lucky that you can still pay with your CIBC visa with NFC. The RBC Wallet app doesn't even appear if you phone is rooted. Banks are pretty stingy about security.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Strange, maybe CIBC is relaxed on security. Although I need a custom NFC card from BELL and I have to talk to CIBC VISA on the phone to activate it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Odd.. All of Telus' new SIM cards have NFC in them, so I haven't had a problem with that. But I remember not being able to even see the RBC Wallet option on my Note 3 that was rooted. I can see it on my stock Note 5 though.

It sucks though that the banks are the big holdup for Samsung/Android Pay, but I've heard some rumours of Q1 2016 so maybe we'll get lucky! I'm fairly satisfied with my stock experience (first time since I've started using Android back in 2010!!) so I can wait until then!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
I hardly even use the NFC payment on my phone, I just tap my debit everywhere. Rooting was a no brainer for me.

I love xposed, adaware, custom roms, kernels and all that jazz.

Always looking forward to new updates! I kind of hope we get the App Optimization soon, haha.

How did you find out that we were getting an update soon?

Haha same here! I think it took me 3 days before I rooted by Note 3 :P I've always been rooting my phones, but this is the first one that I'm genuinely happy with running stock. Although I am quite jealous of everybody getting insane battery life on Arter's kernel!

If anyone is interested the source is selling the Samsung gear VR in a couple of days. It already sold out on best buy.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
You could try new system less root from chainfire 2.61 beta is the latest. It auto patches the stock kernel as well, and works fine on note5 (you must start from clean unrooted os including kernel).

It works for some apps to hide root (like android pay and shomi) while others like Netflix, still need to delete liboemcrypto, or edit build prop, in order to play video.

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
So instead of flashing a custom kernel to root on Odin, how do you flash or install chainfire 2.61 to root the stock system?
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Yeah, that's what I was reading about, definitely intriguing! Would probably try that if I were to root anytime soon.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Stock rom, twrp, root zip 2.61, reboot.

You can subsequently flash custom kernel if you like. Root is out of the system.

Titanium has some issues restoring certain apps with 'mount namespace separation' enabled in root settings. Experiment.

So far only tested few apps that check for root. Maybe Royal Bank app is one of those working with new method.
