-WiFI calling is no where to be found yet.

- HD Calling (doesn't have it listed)

- Video calling is a no (DUO though!)

-VoLTE is available , it does list the description as "enhanced communication using LTE data" I haven't called anyone that has HD voice through Verizon to see if I notice a quality difference as well instead of just being able to use data/voice at the same time.

---------- Post added at 05:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 AM ----------

I don't know what has happened in the mean time since you posted but rule number one. It doesn't matter how many people you ask, unless someone can provide actual proof, no front line rep will actually be able to give anything other than an educated guess when it comes to an unlocked variant. What I mean by proof is even if it's them saying "the document/resource that I have states that I see that model will work on X network and I'm showing that X features will be available".. I have the Unlocked Version on Verizon and I can say that WiFI calling isn't on the phone. I used my Verizon Note 5 sim card to activate the 8. So maybe if I can get a spiffy new sim, it'll show up... VoLTE is on there. Hotspot works..... In general (disclaimer, I work at Verizon Wireless) it was only until recently that Android Devices were even put on the list of being able to bring your own device. All that means though is that certain models have been "tested and verified" to work as far as calling/data is concerned. Whomever does the testing sadly doesn't write out a list of features that will work on said models that is made available to regular reps (and please don't think a manager will know any more than the rep does. not ranting against you but the biggest myth in customer service is that talking to a manager will some how change the answer all the time from what the regular rep said in the first place, that's the frustrating part because it should be simple to say, yes that will work or no it won't... This would be a non-issue if Samsung baked Wi-FI calling and HD voice into the settings... LIke the iPHone does through enable LTE and settings>phone for WIFI calling... Then you just need the right feature added on through your VZW account.... Just as another example. If you would call into Verizon and ask if find my mobile is on the Note 8, we'd say no, because it's not on our model. It doesn't matter how cute someone gets with saying "well it's on this model", it's not on the Verizon Version plain and simple. I"m sure there may be some voodoo that someone came up with flashing firmeware etc if it's hidden underneath everything... The bottom line is that if you really need a feature that is necessary, when it comes to model variants, go with the one that you know for sure has it, because you'll get burnt almost every time with some rep just assuming it will work (no matter the company).

WiFi calling on the TMO version
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
I already posted screenshots of WiFi calling on Sprint...as well as download booster and WiFi tethering...The issue is that att and Verizon have better luck flashing complete Verizon and att firmware instead of partial and bypass methods...however, some are facing provisioning issues from carrier for their lines....proof? Provide a solution, a help...not every device will act the same...not to mention that the Note 8 requires a NEW SIM...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] amy91:
I purchased a Galaxy Note 8 US Unlocked Version - N950 (SM-N950U) / SM-N950UZVAXAA and would like to confirm that WiFi Calling does work great on T-Mobile's network.

Many people had doubts earlier in this forum and other websites, that some devices do not support carrier features, but I am happy to report it does work. Samsung Pay, Android Pay and other carrier apps works too.

See attached screenshots for more details.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
Can we downgrade SM-G930FD from 7.0 to 6.1. dual sim india model exynos.

not rooted ever

stock rom

bootloader locked.

if i simply flash 6.1 firmware from odin will it brick my device as i guess bootloaders are different in 7 and 6.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
When you flash with Odin you should be flashing 4 files (AP, BL, CP, CSC) one of which is the bootloader (BL). So long as you download the correct BL for MM6.1 it should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
Is downgrade possible ? i read somewhere that we cant downgrade because of the new locked bootloader. can some experienced person shed light on this ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
That might be true for the US models, but the 930F and 930FD bootloaders are unlockable.

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but flashing stock firmware is meant to work even if the bootloader is locked. It's only custom firmware that should be a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jaannnis:
Can confirm this works, did it like a week ago on my SM-G930F.

Just be sure to flash AP,BL,CP and CSC, as [MENTION=8057530]Beanvee7[/MENTION] mentioned
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
so u mean to say. i can flash 6.1 on 7.0 with locked bootloader just by simply flashing all these files in odin ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jaannnis:
Am pretty sure, but you will lose your files as you cant take the home_csc to downgrade (I believe??). Why not just try? Backup your stuff and in worst case just flash the 7.0 back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
but if i bricked my device then ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
G930FD can use G930F firmware, I have successfully flashed from 7.0 to 6.0.1 a couple of times on my G930F

You will need to use CSC not HOME_CSC as nothing from 7.0 will work with 6.0.1 and you'll either bootloop or get lots of app crashes on boot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
where will i get this csc and not home csc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
i got this from g930fd file. so in this

i should not use home_csc and should use all other files ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Already been explained to you, use CSC and not HOME_CSC, yes all the others too
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
i read in other threads people are facing issues after downgrading like apps behaving funny camera not working . did u also faced the same ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Did you read anything I wrote?

You made this thread 2 weeks ago, you could have tested it yourself many times by now

Either try it or don't
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
If you flash all 4 files you should have no issues.

Issues like you described are when people change android version using TWRP flashing ROM's, then they end up with bootloader mismatches etc.

That can't happen to you because you're cleanly flashing all 4 firmware files to a matching version.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
its better to know the + - before flashing anything. flashing anything like stupid and crying later is not what i need. u r most welcome to help.

can i use ? Odin3_v3.10.6 or ODIN 3.12.3 ?????
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
All the information is already here on XDA S7 forums many times over in many different threads, if you read some threads

No need for multiple ? either, we can see one just fine

Use the latest odin, there's a full update guide on updato.com with a link to the latest version of odin
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
i am back on 6.0.1 on december build.

but feels bit laggy and battery drain alot android OS.

is there any better version that i can flash rather than december build.

when i got the new device my mobile was fast and good battery life.

my device is manufactured of july 2016 so i guess the firmware must be pre installed of earlier than july.

so is there any firmware 6.0.1 which is faster than other build or is it a myth only ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
The differences between months would mostly be security updates, I doubt there is any major under the hood changes that would impact performance. Did you phone come with carrier bloat originally? Could be that you just need to debloat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
nope in india mobiles dont come with carrier bloats as they are sim free unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
earlier i used to downgrade easily but after updating to 7.0 latest update via OTA i now cant downgrade to 6.0. odin says failed. device says sw check revision failed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
The latest 7.0 firmware is DRAG and prevents downgrading, if you're on it I'm afraid you're stuck.

Flashing a custom ROM via TWRP might work, but the 7.0 bootloader doesn't play nice with 6.0. It'll break vibration.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
what is the solution now. this 7.0 is crap drains battery without any reason and not so smooth like 6.0
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Try flashing a ROM via TWRP, if that doesn't work wait for Oreo
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
that means rooting which i dont want to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Well then you're out of options, there's no way of bypassing the DRAG lock
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
anyone found any way to downgrade ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] DarkerJava:
No, but Oreo is coming soon and I would wait for that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mor_1228:
when ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] DarkerJava:
Turkish phones are getting it on the 13th, so probably around then.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] M0EMEN:
Hello guys,

I am facing an issue with my HTC U11 USA Factory Unlocked-64GB.

The issue is that whenever I connect my phone to the computer and when I try to transfer data between the PC on PHONE it always gives me this error "The attached device is not functioning".

FYI, I can access everything on the mobile through the PC but can't transfer anything.

I tried on windows 10, 8 and even 7 and I get same error on all of them, please anyone has a solution for this just help me how to fix it.

Also, my Mobile was on stock ROM and now on custom ROM >> LeeDroid V2 and same error on both ROMs.

Thanks in advance.

Try to install HTC drivers or HTC sync.

Check before that no other USB HTC drivers are installed
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] M0EMEN:
Thanks sir for your concern, I think I figured out how to transfer or copy the backup from android device to PC.

I thought earlier that it could be done by simple copy and paste but I was wrong as it should be done through ADB and by typing a special command and the phone should be booted into TWRP's recovery mode :)

Anyways, thanks for your reply and hope that could help anyone else with the same issue.

you can't buy factory unlocked phones directly through Samsung tho. so I wonder how this works.

I wonder if it's worth buying a used s5 to trade in, but again.. I've always had to buy my phones through 3rd parties so I wonder how it works.

also if I buy the note 8 I wonder how I'd go about returning the note 7 for the refund since I bought it from an ebay vendor.

Will they pay the full trade in value on a good condition, rooted s5?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] broderp:
Well, the website is asking for proof of purchase or an Email. I assume the email is if you bought it thru them. The proof of purchase is going to be hard to come by this many months out.

Does this upgrade apply to only those who paid the full price for the phone? I was on a Verizon payment plan, and they have cut off my service now for the last 4-5 months, but I still pay my phone bill - waiting for this type of an offer.

Does anyone think they accept the online order I did thru Verizon and a copy of my first months bill showing the payment for a new device on my line? I don't want to start the process, have an issue midway and then be locked out when I try to restart or resubmit.

Anyone have this type of experience with the Note 7? This is exactly what I hoped Samsung would do. I would be very happy to get a $400+ discount for my troubles and no service.

Same here. If I had a receipt this would be an easy task.

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

I believe this is for Note 7 owners only. Why would they give Note 4 or any other Galaxy phone users who did not have any issues, or service interruptions such a deal? That does not make sense to me. The only other device I would even consider would be the S7. Many people opted to downgrade to the S7 when they recalled the Note 8.

I do not understand why after some update is removed some of the specifications for which I bought this phone. For example 'people edge color' has been removed. Why,? Do you think it's legal to take back something I paid? I understand that new specifications have been added but how can you offer me something better by taking me something else I paid? I wanted this phone for many specifications that you need to improve and you do not remove them. If you bought a car for a certain reason and the manufacturer would eliminate all these reasons without telling you how it would be called ??? Solving because I want back what you got.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
Phone market is a competitive business. Yes, what they are doing is legal.

It is unfortunate that the app or feature that caused you to buy the phone has been replaced, but you were aware what is advertised and what you get is not always the same. In the advertising in small print but nerveless it there. They reserve the right to sell you compatible phone similar to what they advertised.

To survive you always have reinvent your products, if a new app or feature is developed and older app or feature will be deleted depending on what the company understands what the people want. You do not need to upgrade your phone to the latest OS, you can downgrade to OS that contains the app or features you want.

Once you bought the phone, it became immediately obsolete as a new model is always under development with different features and apps.

They honor their warranty to replace damaged parts on their phone. But there is no warranty on software, they will always flash the latest one regardless if you want it or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
It appears that to the vast majority of modern day uber mobiles that the camera is the most important factor?

I notice that some are actually going to change from the SGS8+ to the Note 8 'just' for the camera?

Cards on the table. I know next to zero regarding photography and very very seldom, if ever, use the camera on my mobile. I find the most attractive extra as sound production however...

Can some of you camera experts inform me how a pocket camera compares in quality of picture to the Note 8?

I would think, I don't know, that my Canon DSLR produces better photographs? How would my little pocket Sony camera compare?

Just how good is the quality of pictures produced by the Note 8 (also the SGS8+ that I own)? Is it just a matter of convenience or do these new mobiles produce truly 'good' photo's?

Thanks for your replies.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] teegunn:
The S8+ takes amazing pictures. I haven't bought a good real camera for about 6 or 7 years, but I am sure it still takes superior pictures to the best smartphone cameras. But it is bulky, easily broken (ex dropped it a week after I bought it and broke the lcd display on the back although you can still see through the cracks enough to use it) and a PITA to carry around. So I have little need personally for an actual camera. It was $850 to boot and I wish I had never bought it.

The Note 8 and it's dual rear cameras are a definite step up from the S8+. The S8+ has a GREAT camera, low light especially. But the dual shooters in the rear are very, very nice from all accounts on the Note 8. If I can actually get $425 for my Note 7 on trade in from Sammy for the Note 8 I will get the Note 8 and sell my S8+. Otherwise I will not take a 400 to 500 dollar beating to switch from my S8+ - which is a very nice phone - to the Note 8. I do miss the S Pen and a bit bigger screen is always nice. I am a tad concerned about going down in battery size - the S8+ has a 3500 mah battery and smaller display, the Note 8 has a 3300 mah battery and a bit larger display.

Anyway, IMO, the camera upgrade alone is not enough for me to switch. The trade in of $425 for my Note 7 would be enough IF I can actually get $425 from Samsung for my Note 7.
