S8+ No Internet via Cellular; OK on WiFi

Windows Phone refugee who finally came in from the cold here. Got my shiny new S8+ (Amazon, unlocked version) but am having an issue with Internet access. I connect just fine when on WiFi networks, but the phone tells me "no Internet access" and "check to see if you're connected to the Internet" when I try to connect via cellular. I have an AT&T unlimited data plan, and the AT&T rep tells me that the account is set up properly. I know I'm missing some stupidly simple setting or step, but blasted if I can figure it out.

Anyone have any ideas? Greatly appreciate it!

Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus ( SM-G955FD 64GB )

Is there any other platform to benchmark my device cause in antutu top results shows a score of 17xK but when i ran the benchmark it shows 15xK only, is it something wrong or I am wrong at something i don't know so you people may know what's right right?

Thank you,

After connecting to the wifi network did you try getting online like browse the Internet, open play store. Is it a public Hotspot or neighbour or yours, if it is yours then check your router configuration, reset if you know how to reconfigure it, did you try connecting with other devices
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] belewis:
It works fine with data connectivity (get on the Internet) on any wifi; the problem is using cellular data connectivity on an AT&T Unlimited Data plan. If there is no wifi, it makes and receives phone calls just fine; but asks me if I am connected to the Internet/tells me I am not connected to the Internet if I am on cellular signal only. Perhaps related: AT&T seems to have trouble recognizing the phone when I try to retrieve voicemails -- tells me that "mailbox is not recognized."

Am using AT&T sim card installed by AT&T tech at AT&T store.

Thanks for your response!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] suhail75:
Do you have any alternate sim card (different service provider), first thing i would do is swap out the sim cards and check with others, so you better do that and reply back ps: please post detailed info of your device and start with the problem maybe someone else can find it easy to help you out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] roseyhead:
I've got a carrier branded S8+ (Australia, Optus) and I'm interested in flashing an unbranded firmware on it. I'm looking at SamMobile's list and it looks like Australia XSA is the non-branded firmware I'm looking for. Is that correct? IF so, are there any concerns to think about (i.e. Samsung Pay etc) which might not work if I simply flash this FW directly onto my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] natefish:
Could be a sim card issue. Did you activate it yourself or in the store?

If it's not the sim card, there are two things you can try:

Did you make sure you have access points in your network settings? Go to Settings - Connections - Mobile networks - Access Point Names.

You should see some APNs listed there. Make sure you have the right ones for AT&T. You'll have to Google what AT&T's APNs should be because I'm on Sprint.

I've read a post where custom roms may interfere with the ability to connect to Microsoft Exchange emails, as they require permissions to wipe the device.

Can anyone confirm or deny this in general or particularly for the S8+?

Thinking of getting an international version to get the ability to do custom roms and more customization.

Hey all - quick question. I have had this happen at least twice. My phone is set on vibrate or silent/no vibration. The phone locks. Then I unlock it with either fingerprint or Iris scan, and then the audio is toggled back to standard sound and I can see the audio icon change! This is not good if I was in a meeting, movie, etc.

Has anyone else had this happen? Do I have some weird setting ticked that I can't find? Background - bought this used on swappa, unlocked Verizon variant, and I flashed tmobile firmware and carrier switched with no issues at all - except this.

Thanks for any help/insight!!

UPDATE - resolved. volume app was changing things on its own. deleted and issue resolved.

I love my S8+, best phone I ever had. I've been thinking about getting a wireless charger for a bit now, but on my phone it gives me no option for fast wireless charging. My question is, if I were to buy the W/C would my phone actually charge or would I be outta luck. Cheers

Hi... Is there a way that allows me to use official Netflix app on the newest Renovate Ice ROM? I just can't download it from Play Store
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Palingenesis:
I have seen people post about a 'multi csc', would this make my data signal work again? If yes, where do I download it? I tried searching google and this thread as well as searching through other threads with the keywords multi csc. No luck. I am currently downloading stock spr firmware zip and will extract it and see if there is something with csc in the title and try to use the Odin software to flash it? I am out of ideas.

I have followed all the steps, with the AP and BL files then factory reset. Using USB 2.0. It just shows my signal as a circle with a line through it. I tried registering my network in the settings which did not work, it is already set to auto. I have tried the Shortcut Master and it does not show the list after I click preconfig, it only shows SPR at the top and says needs three characters. I am sorry if these questions have been addressed already. I seriously am unable to find the solution on my own. I've searched all over. I have tried downloading stock firmware and extracting the CSC and Home CSC files for my Sprint phone but Odin says they are for the wrong model. I read somebody say to flash the Sam Fail multi csc, so I searched this thread and forum and google for it and could not find it. I really would love to use this rom, it runs really smooth.

This is my question copy/pasted from here https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/de...qk3-samfail-odin-t3717702/page28#post74875036

I've been up all night trying to figure this out and am unable to. The OP in that post says to try flashing the files again and factory resetting, I've done that about 5 or 6 times now and get the same end result. I have a Sprint S8+. I've tried using Odin to flash a couple stock csc files that I found for Sprint S8+ but Odin keeps saying they are the wrong model.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] baconbh8:
It's the SM-G955FD, I'm guessing exynos, geekbench says it is a ARMv8
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] force70:
955 fd yes exynos.

You can flash any 955FD or 955F based Samsung firmware in odin that you prefer. It will not trip knox or anything else.

Flashing official firmware has never been a problem in this regard.

Please note if you flash csc it will wipe your device so back up first!

Dual SIM version is not available in the US if thats where you are.

Single sim only, which also means snapdragon..which sucks worse because the bootloader is locked.

Is there any way to change incoming call UI of S8/S8+? I mean the way you answer/decline call. It's just too easy to swipe the button. As soon as the swiping is completed, it does the action, not like iPhone/other android phones (you can cancel the action by swiping back). Everytime I pick the phone out of my pocket while there's an incoming call, I accidentally answer/decline it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
Your G955U is a Snapdragon version, and if so then I believe you'd need to head towards the eng rooting method. Make sure you have a Snapdragon version. As Verizon, it ought to be.

That method uses a modified engineering file set, in addition to an SU file, in order to obtain root, I believe.. A bit different than non-US Exynos Samsung phones, not quite as finessed as not 'hole' driven.

There may be other methods of rooting US based phones, but I have not paid much attention, as I'm on Exynos just to have an easy, for certain internatioinal phone, with easy rooting.

So check under the Verizon part of S7/S8 forums just get get acquainted with the eng (sampwn) rooting method, and to read up on how it went for others, along with the pro's and con's.

Here's a link you may have already read.

Stop phone calls while tethering mobile data

I hope this hasn't been answered before but searching through these forums with the keyword "tether" and also searching google I have found no solutions

I am tethering my phone's data connection to my laptop, but every time I receive a phone call my connection gets interrupted. I am using my phone's data connection because the wifi here is garbage cause the family is constantly streaming videos.

So what I want is a way to stop receiving calls or even better is my data connection not to be interrupted while receiving calls. Either way is a solution for me.

As an avid gamer, even a few seconds of disconnect feels like a lifetime. Hope someone can help!

Phone updates by itself and ruins my life.

Okay, so first of all, I'm not sure if this is the right forum. But this applies to a couple of forums.

For a while I used this little trick for activating my mobile hotspot on att g955u (the s8+) using the "connect to a faulty wifi and turn on mobile hotspot" and I would always ignore updating my phone from the OTA because I didn't want anything to change from the original stock bought phone. But a few days ago my phone decided to turn off and update itself. So I turned on dev options and the auto update was on. Turned it off problem solved. So I thought. At the time the mobile hotspot hadn't been affected but I woke up today turned my phone on and it automatically started updating again. But this time it had updated and changed something in my phone that has affected my ability to turn on my hotspot. And I've gone through and tried to figure out which service is affecting it but I can't seem to find anything new. And basically my question is, is there any way to get my phone back to the way it was when i originally bought it? Firmware, security, and everything that could have been changed with those two updates. Or is there another way to find out which services affect my hotspot so I can disable/enable accordingly. I used my mobile hotspot to play multiplayer on my ps4. Kind of pissed me off that my phone updates itself without consent.

Oreo on S8+ comes with mandatory Squircle Dinner Plates!

I just got the OTA update to Oreo and Samsung Experience 9.0, which sounds all well and dandy but not all is well in Samsung-town.

The behind-the-scenes improvements are great but visually I noticed that not only do most of my icons now have dinner plates, they're also fugly squircles!

I made sure that in the Display setting Icon Frames was set to "Icons Only" but it didn't help.

Any idea how I can get things back or at least change the squircles to circles?
