att was no help, it seems to be a software issue. Video Calling did not work for me, att to att phone. Flashing the att firmware wipes everything but having smart switch + lastpass made it much easier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] borijess:
What about bloatware? Is it worth the switch for Wi-Fi calling, Volts and HD calling? Are you talking about Samsung pass? Or last pass?

Does Samsung switch save your launcher setting. I have my touch wiz app drawer set up. So don't want to do that over again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] kmerrick:
Samsung Smart Swith can save settings, like theme and launcher settings. There's a bit of bloatware but you can disable them. The only feature I see that I gained is HD Calling. It wasn't really worth it, IMO.

Also, I am talking about LastPass the credential saver.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] neilfairall:
I assume from the silence that neither you nor borijess had any luck getting wifi calling working? I am in the same boat - I have flashed the AT&T firmware entirely at this point but still get an error when trying to enable wifi calling. I visited an AT&T store and they called an engineer who basically told me "tough luck".

Apparently the escalation to the IMEI range team bore no fruit?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] phenix3030:
Thank u bro. I did it, now u have wifi calling

Yes i was supposed to receive a call and never heard back. I will call eventually and follow up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
Why do you all think that some AT&T users get functions working and others cannot?

One user had to flash USERDATA and CSC to get functions while another just flashed USERDATA...Some have had full features with Unlocked straight out of the gate while others had to flash full ATT firmware...and of course some have no luck on any firmware.

Combination of account settings, imei acceptance, and possible device issues?

I wonder if some of the devices are defective...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Digibeginner:
This is my experience: I tried to call AT&T so many times initially when I got my unlocked Note 8 from Samsung to get 4G/LTE, let alone wifi calling, but without success. I gave up and eventually flashed the AT&T firmware with userdata file and it worked. However, what I didn't realize was that during all those initial calls before flashing, some tech from AT&T tried to help me by putting in some other AT&T phone's IMEI in my file to replace my unlocked Note 8 IMEI. I am pretty sure that it takes flashing the AT&T firmware and an AT&T branded phone's IMEI to replace your unbranded unlocked Samsung Note 8 in order for 4G/LTE, wifi calling and what not to work. How am I so sure you ask, because after all that was working and there was an update which I didn't get, I called AT&T again asking about the update. This time, the basic level tech told me that it is because my IMEI in my file doesn't match my Note 8's IMEI. He changed it back to my actual Note 8 IMEI. After that wifi calling, etc stop working. I called again and got to the advanced tech, who asked me whether I have an old AT&T smartphone IMEI that he can use. I gave him my previous AT&T branded S7 edge IMEI and he replaced my Note 8 IMEI with the AT&T branded S7 edge IMEI on my file. After that wifi calling worked again. I think AT&T is so stuffed up that you have to buy their branded AT&T phone for everything to work. They will not place my unbranded Note 8 IMEI in their "white list", period. It's all about greed people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] dvsdlite:
Ok. So I've been watching this forum. And I almost considered sending my note back and getting the at&t branded. However, have you guys noticed better coverage or service. Now I did come from a note 4. Just feel the antennas are better. Still trying to get the service I pay for. But it hasn't been bad without the Wi-Fi calling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
So I don't know what happened to op..but other users have had success with flashing CSC and USERDATA files or Complete AT&T firmware from the AT&T guide section or by following my carrier flashing guide...it is worth a try before trading in...

Updates on Wifi calling

Hasnt been an update to this thread in awhile and I want a Note 8. Can anyone tell me....is Wifi calling now available on a unlocked Note 8 or is this just an ATT/locked option. If I buy an ATT/locked phone.... will ATT unlock the phone for me once it is totally paid off and if so, will that disable the Wifi calling?

TIA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] ResponsibleWolf:
Yes as long as you wait 24 hours after paying it off to submit the unlock request. Your account must be at least 60 days old and in good standing, you have to be out of the 14 day return period, the device must not be active on anyone else's AT&T account when you make the unlock request, and you cannot have upgraded again on the same line before requesting the unlock.

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

SIM unlocking the phone does not disable WiFi calling. To use WiFi calling the phone must have an AT&T Note 8 IMEI (which is not affected by SIM unlocking) and you must enable WiFi Calling on both your line and the phone.

Thanks man..... Just what I needed to know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] so jay:
I'm trying to get wifi calling working on my phone. The phone (SM-950U) was initially purchased directly from samsung as a T-Mobile phone. I got the phone unlocked and I was able to carrier change and switch to AT&T firmware. I'm not sure if I did it correct or not but I'm able to make calls, receive texts, receive cell data etc with the AT&T sim. However when I tried to enable Wi-Fi Calling it gives me an error saying that "We can't turn on Wi-Fi Calling for your account". I called AT&T and they tried some back end things and told me to restart the phone but it didn't fix the issue. They are now escalating the issue but it'll be another 2 days.

Is there any way to check that I flashed everything correctly with the AT&T firmware/software? I currently show Baseband Version N950USQS3BRA8 I followed the step by step the instructions given on another thread. Anybody else have the same issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Chasoscar:
Not much help here...I just got my phone working and dont really know. Is there a factory reset? If it were me tho I'd probably just wait to see what ATT says.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] disturbd1:
I don't think he's asking about SIM-unlock. Most people don't need that, and certainly wouldn't come to XDA for it.

To expand on this, it's not just a matter of the IMEI being AT&T, but more specifically that the network detects it with AT&T's signature. If you install the carrier-unlocked variant of the phone image it will function but you'll never get WiFi calling or VoLTE to work. Unless some magical method has been discovered, which I doubt since this thread would be bursting at the seams.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

TMo unlocking your phone does absolutely nothing for what you're inquiring about; it's for your phone/SIM to be able to function abroad. Many people who travel for business do this so they don't have to carry 2 phones.

The term "unlocking your phone" most commonly refers to unlocking the bootloader. Which, on Samsung phones is impossible; they are locked on a hardware level as well as a software one. There are preventative measures in place that, if tripped, my understanding not only voids the warranty but cannot be "un-tripped" as it is a physical fuse.

If you want to switch carriers, it's actually really straightforward to do so. Use the search. Read. You'll find plenty of information. However, do not make the mistake of thinking you can have your cake and eat it too; if you change the ROM on your phone to any other factory or carrier image, you will lose certain intended functionality. Not because the models are different, but because the signatures contained are. When your phone connects to your carrier's network, and it cannot see their signature in the ROM, you will not be able to enable such features as WiFi calling and VoLTE.

Before I updated when I got my note8 I could swear I had wifi calling. Now I can't find it anywhere

*#*#4636#*#* goto device info. Goto the bottom. Wifi calling switch there. Unsure if it works but there is a switch

I have an unlocked N8 that just received Oreo update today and now phone shows ATT boot logo. Assuming the phone was successful flushed with ATT firmware, do I just need to call ATT to add my imei to my line/sim?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] pouelle:
You can get WiFi calling working if you do the following (at least it worked for me):

1. Flash the AT&T CSC to the phone or the entire AT&T firmware

2. Put your SIM into a phone purchased from AT&T that has WiFi calling capability (so borrow someone's S7 for a few min)

3. Turn on the temporary phone from step 2 & enable WiFi calling on it

4. After you successfully enable WiFi calling on the account with the temporary phone, power it down & put the SIM in your Note 8

5. Turn on your Note 8 and enable WiFi calling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] so jay:
I will have to give that a try then. I'll report back with my findings once I can find an AT&T branded phone.

Thanks for the suggestion!

at&t user data file CRC1?

Does anyone have the at&t userdata for crc1?

Or is there a way for me to upgrade carrier specific U1 crc1 to crc2?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
Flash the CRC2 CSC...this will give you carrier functionality without the bloat

USERDATA is in the firmware...just extract it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] noob4598:
I have been digging through all the threads and can't find anything related to straight talk and colte/WFC. Being that straight talk is an att mvno and uses ATT towers and sim, would it be beneficial to flash att csc and/or userdata files on my U1 ? Or could it possibly have a negative effect. I just don't know much about how the mvno vs works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
Yes...all the subcarrier info is in the carrier csc....the same for unlocked CSC except they are without features....so straight talk, virgin mobile, boost...all settings are in CSC....flash any carrier CSC to enable features...Make sure enabled or provisioned on your account though

If you want to be sure....You can use switching carrier guide to change CSC code to the straight talk code...then flash u1 firmware...then carrier CSC (any will do as they are multi-csc)

For flashing stock branded ATT CSC does it matter which Odin I use? (v3.13.1 Raymonf and v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD)

Can I use HOME_CSC to keep my data?

Thanks for all your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
Regular Odin not patched...You can use HOME_CSC
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] illusivenick:
Thanks for all your help bluefox!

Latest update:

I loaded the stock att CSC and it did successfully enable VoLTE as well as populate the menu setting and shortcut for wifi calling.

But when I launch wifi calling it tries for a few seconds and then shows app not responding message. I've tried launching wifi calling from shortcut master but none of the links help, the one that does work just quits responding too. I also tried loading att stock userdata but that didn't help either.

Oh well overall I'm happy cause I have hotspot working with VoLTE (which I personally care more about than wifi calling. If I really need to make calls from a wifi location I'll use google voice.)

The att U1 crc1 firmware runs fast and I don't have all the bloatware. It even boots up notably faster than att load.

And I also loaded the stock crc2 modem which is giving me better reception. I couldn't have done it without all the help from these threads.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
To get the WiFi calling working, you will need to talk ATT into provisioning because you are on official ATT firmware and that they can add imei to whitelist...

Make sure to clear the app data and cache so the app can reprovision as well...other ATT users on unlocked had to do the same
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] illusivenick:
Thanks bluefox I tried that but no success. My imei and sim were already provisioned for wifi calling. When the rep reprovisioned my phone I did get popup about wifi calling allowed but when I lauch the wifi calling shortcut it doesn't respond and crashes.

Also when I use:

Code: *#*#4636#*#*

It shows "voice over WiFi": Unavailable

I'm thinking it's some app issue between u1 crc1 and stock csc from crc2. I'm open to trying other ideas though. I should also mention it would cool if someone else with at&t model can replicate this test and report results.

Congrats on your 1000 thanks too...You've helped a lot of people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
I just noticed that the USERDATA FILE contains customer.xml that turns off wificalling....while the customer.xml in the HOME_CSC file is enaabled...flash any carrier HOME_CSC file in Odin, preferably the ATT one and see if it works

Is there a straight talk CSC code?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
TFN is for tracfone....other than that...choose the parent CSC and manually enter apn...

After looking, Straight Talk is TracFone so you can use TFN...the CSC for TFN includes the various carriers it connects too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] blane3298:
Sweet. Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] noob4598:
But what I was curious about was the branding.. [MENTION=5649240]BlueFox721[/MENTION] is right. TFN is the CSC for Tracfone and its child companies including Straight Talk. If you go buy a ST phone it comes with that CSC but if I'm not mistaken its carrier locked and will only accept a Tracfone sim. The BYOP sim is for carrier unlocked phones and I don't think (not sure though) it works in a ST branded phone. I know that doesn't make sense being that they all "piggyback" the same carrier towers but I think it has to do with the way the network request comes across. So im wondering if we flash a TFN CSC could it possibly have a negative effect.

There is a lot of I thinks in my post ha. I have done tons of searching on the Straight Talk system and how it works. Just haven't quite figured it all out yet ha. I think i think too much!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
Since the Firmware is multi-csc every carrier's info is on every firmware....so flashing any firmware will have same result, unless you flash the USERDATA file from another carrier....

The thing that differs is changing your CSC code....

So let's say your CSC code is ATT and you have a child network SIM....the apn of the child network, like straight talk....although it may not include some features....the same goes for the other carriers CSC code...

Now by changing code directly to TFN, the SIM chooses the network files associated with the customer settings set for straight talk....which wou is give you the correct settings..

However, if the code is set to a parent CSC code, ATT, and no child customer setting is available for the SIM...like project fi, then the network settings are all based on ATT...which may be more beneficial than TFN because the child network settings usually have features turned off...

For this reason it is best to test with parent CSC code and child CSC code to see what works best for you...this goes for boost, virgin, and any other non-brand neteork...

You will not get stuck and it can't hurt to test...

So hopefully someone can help me, I have a T-Mobile s8+ on MetroPCS, and it doesn't allow any of the stuff like Wi-Fi calling and all the other stuff, so what I want to do us flash the userdata file but I don't want my phone to reset since it is the stock userdata file can I just also flash the home_CSC or something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] xguntherc:
Same question.. want to get ATT WiFi calling on unlocked Note 9..

Do I need to flash userdata file, use shortcuts app to see setting, or do this CSC thing mentioned above?

I do have a Tmo SIM which shows WiFi calling.. but when I pop my sim in it disappears.. wondering if I can somehow get it to stay. Idk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] xguntherc:
[MENTION=2899638]chrisusa96[/MENTION] are you saying I can call ATT and get them to add my unlocked Note 9 IMEI to my sim.... Then wifi calling will work??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] illusivenick:
I'm not sure about the note9 but on my note8 (originally at&t branded) it doesn't have wifi calling option when using the U1 firmware. If I load att CSC I get wifi calling option but it force closes if I try to enable it. The only way I can get wifi calling is to load full att firmware with userdata. My imei has been provisioned for wifi calling the entire time and I even had them reinitialize the setting which sent me a text but it still didn't work without full att firmware.

My Monarch case for my Note 8 is shipping! I'll see if i can give a quick review once i get it in my hands. Looks awesome on the site:

https://urbanarmorgear.com/collecti...s/products/monarch-series-samsung-note-8-case

Update 1: Sorry guys I've been so busy of late I completely forgot about this post. On the positive side it gives me more time with the case. If you've had a UAG case in the past the Monarch is just a better built version of their previous cases. It looks fantastic, it feels great, it's not a fingerprint magnet like I was fearing, and it's thin and light. I don't know how UAG will handle the 10 year warranty if there is ever a need to take advantage of it but it seems sturdy enough to last at least 2 years. I can take pictures of the device at a later time but like all of the UAG cases it fits like a glove.

I won't be applying a screen protector until I find one with little to no complaints. My note5 did fine in the 2 years without one and I don't see a big need for one with even better glass.
