I had it activated before I flashed, so it was associated to the number already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] csstamatin:
Mine was too, but still no luck. Also can't get voice search or type to work. Going back to stock. If this ever gets smooth enough I'll be back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] patt2k:
And I was looking everywhere for instructions. So what does not work for you ? Anything major ?

Voice search don't matter to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] csstamatin:
Well vvm didnt work, anything voice related besides calling didnt work. also got a moisture in charging port warning out of the blue. lots of little things that just werent in there for the vzw csc to be able to work right. also missing fuctions like samsung backup and others. too much for me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] chevanlol360:
So is Samsung cloud and device maintainer usable via this route or no? i flashed the USA unlocked version couple days ago, and it has everything Verizon greedy ass removed. I dont need wifi calling, nor video calling/visual voicemail. only thing i needed to know what works is VoLTE which it does. Been running the unlocked version alone for about a week now i love it.

Long tapping home button won't bring Google Assistant, I tried to go to the setting and make sure Google app is selected, but nothing. Anyone has a solution? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] patt2k:
I need wifi calling so I flashed the Verizon wifi calling CSC. And the Verizon apps needed to work . Wifi calling works but gosh the unlocked rom is blazing fast. Wow

SamFirm wont open for me when I click on it? Anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] SimplyNando:
How about remapping the Bixby button to open Google Assistant? That's the solution i have set up for that already anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bajasur:
Did you guys flash the home_csc or just the CSC tar?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jianansong:
It's not working either, it seems the Google assistant is broken. Anyone can help to confirm if this is just on mine?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Cobjones:
You're right. I've always used "ok Google" and that works, but the home button doesn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] patt2k:
Flashing Home CSC will flash the Verizon stuff needed to work for Wi-Fi Calling etc. Your status bar will look Verizon Themed it.

(as an example)

PS. did anyone realize there is no software update in settings anymore? no big deal I can always ODIN FW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] androidbuff123:

And all the bloatware to go with it??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JustusIV:
I have read this thread but i just want to make sure of a few things.

First we can go back to 100% stock with no flags etc by just flashing the proper verizon FW with odin.

Next I have seen a few people ask but no one atually say yes.... Does samsung cloud work, it would be nice to backup appdata.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JustusIV:
Does this break samsung cloud since VZW as well?

*EDIT*

English is tough... What i meant to say was if you flash the vzw csc to make the vzw stuff work like wifi calling/vvm etc does this break the samsung cloud app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] vicvon:
Yes. You lose Samsung cloud, one touch optimize and caller ID on phone app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JustusIV:
Damn it verizon.

This was the reason why i wanted to flash the unlocked FW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] momotropulous:
Does VOLTE work on the rom without the verizon csc? that's the only thing holding me back, i dont care about wifi calling and voicemail, but volte is a must!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] vicvon:
Volte does indeed work. I am on Verizon. I believe it works on T-Mobile as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] patt2k:
It sure does get rid of the samsung stuff. You also will lose the software update button, for me it's no big deal I can always ODIN it.

Only reason I flashed it was for wifi calling.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] momotropulous:
1 thing I've noticed that doesn't work is service mode to *#0011#
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] vicvon:
I can't get service mode to work on Verizon at all. Doesn't matter what rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] momotropulous:
realllly, ima pop in a tmo sim in a sec and see if it works with that.

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

yep, your correct. popped in a tmo sim and service mode opened, but with a verizon sim it's somehow disabling the command.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] vicvon:
Verizon disables that on their service
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] anewday:
Nice work. Too bad service mode is blocked. Wish Samsung would be like Apple and tell them to F off with messing their software.

Ok after days of testing U1 firmware one thing I noticed is that my battery life was way worse than that of Verizon firmware. Just saying that was my experience
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] anewday:
That's the first I heard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bajasur:
This happened to me as well. I tested the unbranded firmware for 4 days and got 2 hours less SOT than on the Verizon firmware...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] wcr84:
Yeah I thought I was crazy. I even went back a week later and redid everything and have another week to settle. I could see the drain. Went back to Verizon and don't have the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] patt2k:
There is new firmware for Verizon and Unlocked model. Anyone has files for new update?

EDIT: found the new FW link , flashed only AP and needed to do factory reset lol. For the future.. how do I simply update via Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] davidisflash:
So to clarify, this bloatless firmware is NOT unlocked right? We won't able to do an OEM unlock in developer options, unlock the bootloader with fastboot commands then root the phone? It's only just a debloated ROM? Even with carrier bloat, my stock S8 is super fast, so not sure if it's worth these risks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] patt2k:
Pretty much yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] davidisflash:
That's what I thought. Thanks for the clarification. Performance wise, have you guys seen an improvement, worse performance, etc? The *only* issue I have is the phone screen sometimes waking in my pocket. I've maximized the home screen wake feature sensitivity and still see it. I've made sure that my text message app doesn't wake on notifications, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] patt2k:
For me it never wakes up in my pocket . Reason why I wanted unlocked fw is because the Verizon rom got slow. And this one is blazing fast .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sastone75:
help

Could you lead me in the direction that you found this info and links etc. I haven't done it yet but I'd like to. N as you stated will I have to flash it each time an OS or security update is released? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] patt2k:
Well I had to reflash because I was using the wifi calling fix. Now I am without it and I will be able to update from my phone.

If wifi calling don't matter to you just go to updato.com and look for the XAA firmware which is the one that comes with the s8/+ unlocked one.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] SimplyNando:
That's my questions as well...i stopped before flashing the VZW USERDATA and i'm running the basic U1 firmware and i love it. The smart call is pretty awesome. I don't care about WiFi calling BUT i do miss visual voicemail :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sastone75:
So wifi calling and visual voicemail still don't work if you go to the unlocked u1 firmware, then. Glad I've waited. I HAVE to have wifi calling where i work. If anyone finds a work around let me know PLEASE!.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

Could you lead me to the post that tells me exactly how to do all of this? I have to have wifi calling as well and prefer to keep visual voicemail and gain samsung cloud back. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I've read so many different things now I"m not sure what will or won't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] SimplyNando:
This method does allow WiFi Calling and VVM if you follow all of the steps. However, i stopped before flashing all the Verizon files so i could have a stock Samsung experience... i'm just paying for it with WiFi Calling and VVM. Lol. You can follow all the steps in the original post to get those back, however, Samsung Cloud will be gone.

OP does have another thread which has another method which enables Samsung Cloud and WiFi calling, but VVM does not work yet i believe:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Smithfolk4:

I don't use samsung pay. I am rooted so it won't work. I am on the verizon firmware, not the unlocked, and it has call blocking for anyone who is not in your contacts, but I have never been able to get it to work. I use a call blocking app called (originally) Call Blocker (by Android Rock). Seems to work OK.

[MENTION=5274288]ilmervanhattem[/MENTION] What Android do you have? For me, ACR is able to record only my voice and the other person's voice is almost inaudible. It's because I have the MIC source set up so it only records what microphone picks up - and the ear speaker is quite far from the microphone :) I've tried different sources but they didn't work at all.

I have saved usernames and passwords for various websites on the desktop (Windows) PC, for my convenience via Google Chrome. I have several android devices (phones) which are able to access these saved passwords since they are linked together. I want to save these passwords to my PC only. And restrict some from my androids, ie. banks, brokerage houses, Amazon and pay-pal. Now, if I have mobile apps associated with these sites, I can block the passwords and usernames. But, a search via google for the website login page (by-passing the app) will display my username and password. Although the password is not visible, it's still there and allows access to my account. I'm not sure if anyone would know what to look for if my cell was lost or stolen, but it's still unnerving to think it could possibly happen. So, I am searching for a way to segregate my PC from my androids, and still be able to use Crome on all. A Google search gets me answers to all imaginable questions, except for the one I ask. Maybe, I just don't know how to form the question to where Google can understand it.

I have just recently rooted my Galaxy S7 Edge on AT&T, 7.0 nougat. After rooting, I have had a problem where I cannot rearrange apps on the home screen.
