Yup, same error I was getting. Thanks for sharing this!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Benzillah:
Thanks for the post, I was having the same issue. I wonder though, if it's possible to configure an S8 to get OTA updates despite this issue. This is probably a question for Verizon support, huh?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoxbox:
I'm guessing you have to flash the firmware to a different carrier however according to the other thread it's not possible yet: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72031437&postcount=75

I brought Verizon version on Ebay but I'm using it on Cricket network. I get the OTA error and I'm currently trying to update via Smart Switch.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] steven1193:
You're using a vzw version on att? Any idea if that would work the other way around? Like a gsm version on cdma?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Whanksta:
No, Verizon phones are carrier unlocked out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] steven1193:
Even if its unlocked? I'm trying to use an tmobile one on verizon. Sorry if the answer is still the same and I'm wasting your time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] babyzone2:
The reason people are seeing the error is because the phone is not activated through Verizon , so it is not in their server if you call it. another easy way to get OTA updates is to borrow a verizon sim from a friend, or even start a simple cheapest prepay plan. activate the phone with the sim, then everything will be ok, unless you wipe the phone. Friend of mine ,and myself tried on both his s8 and my s8+ , no problem at all.

we both are on ATT.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] .psd:
Will this change the model number so I can download different ROMs, after I get it unlocked? For example if I want a ROM that's popular for the verizon model, but I'm using the Tmo model? I think Tmo makes you wait a month after activating a device on their network before you're allowed to unlock it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoxbox:
Just to make sure I get this straight once the phone is activated with a Verizon SIM card you can take the Verizon SIM card out, put back ATT sim card, and the phone will still get OTA updates even with the ATT SIM card inside?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] babyzone2:
Yes, that's it. In fact I tried with the Verizon Sim, no Sim, att Sim. All work fine. I have a friend also has a galaxy s8, borrowed a Verizon Sim, activated , removed Sim, att Sim work like a charm with OTA. There are two draw back for using the Verizon phone with Sim from other carriers. No OTA updates unless phone is activated through Verizon, especially for those use the phone over sea. 2nd, no full LTE performance due to lack of band used by your own carrier. For example, band 17 from AT&T, the Verizon phone doesn't have that . Your LTE works, but you likely have lower performance on LTE depends on your location. Verizon phone are unlocked and compatible with other GSM carriers , but not fully optimized.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_N:
info

If your tmobile version is unlocked it will work on Verizon
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoxbox:
Thanks for the info. This should work even with prepaid. I'm thinking about getting: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Verizon-BYOD-4FF-SIM-Card-Kit/40716598 and then activate it. I just hope Verizon doesn't deactivate your phone once the prepaid time is up lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] babyzone2:
I think you should just borrow a sim from a friend or family , no need to spend the money and there is no impact what so ever to their service.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] A_Car:
I was able to update an S8 by simply removing the SIM and running it with no SIM. Not sure if that'll work for other people, I had to tap 'check for updates' a few times before it went through.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dbaxterxda:
I just did this on my Galaxy S7, and it fixed the issue, and was able to download the latest system update for Android. I was using an AT&T SIM card.

I did have to restart my phone after I removed the AT&T SIM card though, just telling what I did.

Hi there

My xda mini has finally died after a long life. It actually still 'works' but the screen only shows white so i cant actually use it.

Anyway I was wondering if theres anyway to recover my text messages and multimedia messages from off the phone. I can still connect to active sync and have a poke around through the memory. I've found what looks like the MMS data in folders called MMS UA and MMS log. However the files are just .dat files. Any idea how i can turn these back into viewable files. Also i didnt find any obvious text message folders.

Thankyou in advance for any help.

Davey

ps im on o2 if thats important
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] scousemartin:
Install Pocket Controller on your computer and then you will be able to see what is on your screen via the pc. You can download the trial version which works for free for four days from here

http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=pcprodnld

Then you can either send the mms's and text messages to another phone the usual way or you can back them up using pimbackup which i have attached to this post. This needs to be ran from on the phone just unzip and place it anywhere on your device or sd card and open it using file explorer by clicking on it

This will work only if the touch screen is still working though as you have to confirm the install of pocket controller

Just keep pressing the bottom left of the wizard screen once active sync has finished installing the device software

Good luck

I've seen the problem where a charger keeps saying charging has paused but this is not my issue.

I'm on my 2nd s8, the first one worked fine with my charger, the 2nd one worked fine from the start as well until one morning I woke up to a 40% charge. I thought maybe it was a fluke but the next morning it was the same. I let it charge again last night on the wireless charger and it was only at 20%.

Tonight I tried leaving it on the charger and the phone is just getting warm and isn't charging.

My charger is a Samsung charger, it's this one: Samsung Wireless Charging Pad with 2A Wall Charger w/ Warranty - Frustration Free Packaging, Black Sapphire https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BHEIIR4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_2F.azbF2T2S45

Anyone else having a problem like this or have any idea what is going on?

Edit: I think I found the problem. I had fast cable charging enabled. I don't know why this affects slow wireless charging but it does. This morning I woke up to a 100% charge after leaving the phone on the wireless charger last night with fast cable charging disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] lmasieri:
Has anyone else noticed that some settings randomly reverting back to the default setting? For example I changed my settings to allow sideloading apps and then every time I want to install a new one, I find the setting off again. Same thing with Bluetooth volume sync, I turned it off and just noticed it was off again. Anyone else experience this? Any fixes?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mechcondrid:
yes; accessibility settings also revert and unknown sources toggles back off after every install regardless of the "only for this installations" toggle

Don't know if I'm posting in the right place or not but I do apologize before hand.

Now I've been trying to get twrp recovery installed on my Samsung j1 ace (j110m) android version 5.1.1 with no luck it was flashed successfully via odin but it wouldn't boot the custom recovery just the normal one I've tried other versions of twrp for this device but still no luck

Can someone point me in the right direction.

Again I apologize if this is not the right place to post this
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
A liitle more information like which model and a link to the twrp you flashed would help but some sammy devices have a quirk. Untick reboot when finished before you flash then once flashing is completed unplug the phone and reboot straight into recovery rather than rebooting the phone

Hi, anyone out here that has come from the iPhone 7/7+ or even the 6s'? I'm considering the switch, however, i remember sometime ago I switched to android and remember having issues with sending small videos via text messaging, hence why I'm a bit reluctant to switching from imessage. Also, I notice the s8+ is pretty much the same case size as the 7plus, but with .07 inches greater screen real estate, or maybe get a better grip with the s8 and that fingerprint ID.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] vw65bus:
I'm one who likes phones and i have a 7 plus. With that said, i like the s8+. I also had the note 7, 2 of them actually. Both had problems. One was a replacement for the other. I like my 7 plus but this s8+ is nice and smooth for a samsung phone. I don't think you'll regret it but everyone has there own preference. I don't send small videos thru text so i can't comment on that. The screen size is awesome with almost no bezels compared to the iPhone.

Just remember to turn off imessage before switching to android because it'll create problems receiving messages from other iPhone users.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] gmartin0312:
Thanks for the reply! Yeah I think the S8 is just something different and just about that time Samsung got it right.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ItzApp:
I switched from iPhone

I actually switched from a 128gb iPhone 7 on Friday to the S8 and I love it. Great experience. I was tired of bezels and a 760p display. Innovation from Apple has been weak recently.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DF-Duncan:
I am a long time apple user, have always liked the continuity between devices. I have tried android many times, but I personally could never really get used to not having continuity and probably the thought of moving everything out of iCloud.

Having an iphone 7+ with 128gb ( which does have an excellent camera ) I have recently got the 'S8' and I am really loving it. It is nice having a slightly smaller physical phone, but with a larger screen compared to the iphone 7+. Using apps such as pushbullet allows me to have all the notifications I need including sms on the mac.

What I am really liking though, is that the OS is not so locked down ( I have no plans to root ) and apps work as you expect them to, for instance not being forced to shut down in the background after 3 minutes by iOS even with background refresh on.

Yes the battery on the 'S8' could be better, but I have had a lot worse, and everything is a trade off.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] gmartin0312:
That's interesting. So with pushbullet I can get my texts to show up on Windows as well? I have a surface pro 4 and a windows pc. How are you dealing with iCloud photos/sharing?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DF-Duncan:
I use a Mac so cannot comment about a PC, but I think it would be similar.

Re iCloud, I just copied my photos etc to dropbox and now use dropbox for all cloud syncing on all devices for photos and other files.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] gmartin0312:
Not sure if you used this on the ip7, but did you use photo sharing with iCloud? Also one more question, the android when sending a video over text, it looks severely lower quality, I know it has to do with iMessage but have you used any alternatives?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FloM94:
i switched from an iphone 7 plus to an s8 and Im in love with android again. First I switched from nexus 6 to ip7+ but without jailbreak this thing is unuseable for me.. even with jailbreak.. android is just the way to go if you want to do "more" with your phone. and the smaller phone with a compareable sized display is a huge plus. the only downside i have for now is the single speaker at the bottom when watching videos but I hope that someone is making a mod for this in near future ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] steveh552:
I have been an apple fanboy since the 5S and just switched from my 7plus to a S8. I kept the iPhone so I can switch back and forth for the time being but so far no complaints with the S8. I don't send video through text, only thing i need to do is get my kids to download Duo to their iPhones so we can have a FaceTime like experience. Also I miss iMessage, but can receive them on my computer if I need to do them. I am not 100% either way but so far I am not planning on going back. I wont get rid of my iPhone, will keep it as a back up.

My note 5 even before nougat the screen when on a call inside the call app won't stay off,even when I hit the power button it goes off and turns back on 2 seconds later,but if I hit home button and get out of phone app while on call screen will shut off and go to sleep,and yes the screen will go off if I put something over sensor,the issue for me is because I use Bluetooth almost all the time,so when answering all the phone stays on the whole time unless I hit home button and get out of call app,anyone know why?Very annoying..

Hi , I noticed now that Huawei is concerned about the bootloop of death , and slowly taking action by allowing some of us to send in our phone and getting it repaired/Replace via " Them " emailing us the UPS RMA Label. I have read in multiple thread regarding the RMA not being emailed on a timely manner or you have not received the email at all. Lets just make this thread specific to UPS RMA STATUS for repaired/replaced 6P and how long the process it took to get the replacement phone.. We need to see if they will follow through. This page , we should log in how many people who were given the RMA email and is waiting to have their phone repaired/replaced. Just put your info of what status you are now in , given from the first day that they authorized saying the UPS RMA email will be sent.

I will start with mine.

Agent: a guy name Alexis

04/20/17 : Were told that I will get the UPS RMA Label within 48 hours

04/26/17 : RMA Label not received so I called and waited 1:15:00 minutes before i got connected to a live person , and got disconnected. Called back again and waited 45 minutes before I was talking to a live person. The same person who i dealt with on 04/20/17 assured me that I will receive the LABEL in a few days

04/28/17 : UPS RMA Label has not been received still. I will wait till Monday to call them back again.

05/03/17 : Got in contact with support via chat late evening.

05/04/17 RMA Label received

I contacted Huawei 4-24-17 after checking the status of the Nexus 6p manufacture warranty. Phone unusable due to the BLOD. Called Huawei customer support and finally got connected after waiting for a collective time of about 2 1/2 hours throughout the day. The agent said my warranty was good until 5-1-17 so I would be mailed or emailed the RMA instructions with label. Still waiting for something to show up. People smoking bath salts are more efficient and less sketchy than Huawei.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddywiser:
I have contacted them 8 times. I'm convinced they are playing a game and trying to get me to just forget about it. I've been lied to 8 times about receiving a label. I'm just going to keep chatting away with them. Last night I got the same guy I had the previous night. I copied pasted the chat transcript and said 'Here this is what you said last night'. Of course, I am now supposed to receive the label today. Again. I would ask them for the address and tell them I will just pay to ship it myself. But I'm sure they would just deny ever receiving it.

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

I should add that they did send me one email that was supposed to be a label, but it was blank. This was probably on purpose and meant to tide me over for a while. I will play their game for as long as they want. This is BS.

Just a quick update on my journey:

Decided to get a hold of Huawei via chat support this time, one week to the day from my original RMA ticket. I spoke to a gentleman who seemed competent and eager to serve the customer so he looked into my ticket and said they were waiting for the pics of the phone to be sent. Knowing that would come but never officially receiving the RMA process email, he resent me the email with full instructions included and offered to wait for me to send a reply email to confirm my address and also make sure it would be escalated. He did, I got the email with FULL instructions, not just what to do with erasing data and sending accessories, etc. He then "GUARANTEED" me that I would receive the shipping label within 24 hours and apologized profusely. Well, this morning was day 2 and still nothing. I again decided to use chat because I like being able to send the transcript of the conversation to my email for proof. This lady was also extremely competent and tenacious. She took about 15 minutes to get a hold of the department which issues the RMA labels and finally got it sent to me. The phone has been shipped via UPS finally. Just letting others know what to expect through this debacle.

I contacted Huawei as well its going on 50 hours and no RMA Label by email. I've contacted them twice now once via phone call for the original claim and via chat today. Still waiting to be sent a shipping label.........
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreaterLesser:
Day 1: Reported my RMA Day 2: No label so I had to call back and ensure they had my email address right (which they didn't) in order to get my shipping label. Sent the phone out the same day and received an email that they got it 2 days later. Week 2: I'm on a trip to New York for a week. Week 3: I get back from my trip and still no phone so I called Huawei to get an update. The Rep says there are no technician notes on the repair of my phone. WTF to that.... After multiple calls over the course of the fourth week, the last rep I talked to said I should have an update next week. This past Monday I got a UPS noticed saying my phone would arrive the next morning, which it finally did.

FAIR WARNING: Be prepared to wait a long time. I had to wait 4 weeks to get my device back.......4 WEEKS when I was told it would take 2 weeks and got talked around in circle until I yelled at the last rep I talked to and he escalated my issue. I would suggest getting a temp phone to use while you wait. (I got a Moto G4 Play from Best Buy to use with my T-Mobile SIM). I just got my phone back yesterday and to my surprise its a new (or looks like new) 128GB model (previously had a 64GB model). So I guess that makes it worth the wait? Maybe?

Shipping label

It took me over a week to get the shipping label after making several calls, being on hold for 30 min or more, I just think they are playing games with us. This process is a joke. I already sent my phone in to get repaired for them to only ship it back to me the very next day thrown in a half empty UPS box un repaired with no reason as to why it was not repaired.
