Ssame here. Really annoying. I wanna keep the phone but these issues r really getting to me. My replacement was fine for the first week or so, then right back to the BS. Not sure if it is Cache issue or Wut. But it starting out fine then going to this is really odd. Also, I uninstalled all apps that i had recently installed and nothing

Tried to post of pic of download speeds but can't do it. I'm getting 108 mb down and 3mb up. Not sure wut the issue is with LTE but that is .ore than enough to do simple tasks like web browsing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
I was able to get a better download speed from turning enhanced LTE on by using shortcut master lite and searching lte....the setting is

com.samsung.networkui.usa.EnhancedLteServices

Under mobile networks...

Just search EnhancedLteServices in shortcut master lite to enable and see if it helps you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] alfamega190:
Jus enabled it. Never heard of that option. I'm on Sprint so not sure if that make a difference..... Will check back in sometime,2morrow
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
I am on Sprint and mine was improved
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] alfamega190:
Ok. I will see how my day goes with it enabled. Thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] alfamega190:
Still the same but I have noticed something wierd.. So my LTE issues always come when I'm surfing the web in chrome or the Samsung browser, pages slow to load sometimes not loading at all. Blue bar jus moves like a snail. And if I go to another like youtube to watch a video it loads up jus fine. Odd...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Code Blooded:
Been reading some other forums and info i found that the S8 and S8+ are also having this same issue. Wondering if going with another Note 8 is the answer...or is it time to pull out of Sprint completely. Long time customer since 01 so im a bit reluctant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
I notice that Sprint service degrades when they are updating towers...then I get awesome speeds...could network issues be related to the implementation of lte+ or 5g...if so, better speeds could be on the way...on the other hand, is there plans of phasing out cdma with the T-Mobile merger and our network is going to dump out? I flashed the Sprint firmware on my unlocked and noticed that there is minor improvement sometimes and then it bombs again...I am not in the best area for network though..just ideas...at my house I am getting same as my Note 3 and my Wife's S8+ but when I go to a weaker area the S8+ is better...Note 3 had the same issue until it's first major update...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] alfamega190:
Phone has been fine all day today. Hopefully that was the fix. Thx.

Gonna give this a try. Does it stick after a reboot or does it need redone?

Yes it does.

My issue is so bad that after 18 years, I am moving on. Sometimes it won't call out, sometimes it will ring once or twice, then give the caller a message "Unable to locate mailbox."

I moved on back in January to verizon. Probably about $40 more than before but I have the service I need when I need it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] DroidsOnRoids:
Yeah I get it frequently. Probably 5-6 times a day. Have you taken updates? I'm still running the original Android version it came with and was wondering if that could be the issue.

If you don't receive an answer ...

Disregard if this is irrelevant to your inquiry [I only skimmed your write-up] but this allowed for successful root+xposed installation on my Verizon SCH-I545 S4 (5.0.1 / LRX22C / OF1). All of my previous attempts failed in a similar fashion to yours so give it a try if you don't find the answer you are looking for.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I bought my device from Samsung direct a TMO version. Attempted to use the unlock app on the phone but received the following message.

Any ideas ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] black96ss:
easy, just unlocked mine the other day. I messaged t mobile through twitter, gave them the imei, my email and phone number. make sure you tell them you purchased a t mobile variant through Samsung to save yourself some time. you also have to your t mobile sim card in the device. after they verify all your info, he will put in the unlock request and will tell you after 72 hours, go back into the unlock, click permanently unlock and you'll be good. it took a little over 24 hours and it let me unlock
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] djlee0314:
I believe you have to have the phone on TMO's network for at least 40 days whether you've paid for the phone outright or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
So does one use the unlock app or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xile6:
Normally you have to have the device paid in full, then be on the network for 3days.

If that does not work once youve done that. Give the 611 number a call and they will email you a code in about 2 days
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Here's the kicker, device is a tmo device but purchased from Samsung direct.

EDIT., not much of a kicker, really. sorry.

Follow post 2. I've unlocked my Samsung bought s8 plus this way and planning to do it with my Samsung.com bought note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
Don't waste your time calling them. I called more than 4 times. First time they send me to Samsung, that of course didn't work, called couple times more got nowhere, last time I called they "confirmed with tech support, the phone is unlocked before shipped from factory for sure", it is not. Anyhow, I finally broke down and reactivated my old tweeter account and tweeted from my phone's tmobile application and that finally seemed to work, should have it unlocked in 3 days and as soon as that's done, will unlock my wife's phone as well. But there is a price to pay: Already got few spam e-mails from tweeter and since I activated tmobile program on my phone, I can't shut that program down and leaves some permanent message in notification area that can't be erased and uses my battery. I'm going to have to clean all this up after the phone is unlocked. It seems tweeter is the only way to do it, but process itself was painless.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
Are you talking about the tmobile app? Because the unlock app doesn't leave a notification. Go into the tmo app settings and simply turn off the constant notifications for data.

Also any emails you get from Twitter have nothing to do with the whole process, you could do the same thing over the phone but twitter is essentially a bypass for the first tier of support.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DAD12345:
That's exactly what they told me. But the problem was if my wife had already had it on her line for 2 months. I'm still waiting for the unlock
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
Yeah other people here are unlocked right now so I think that line they feed is BS
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] zazabichi:
It seems my Note 8 is not eligible for unlock. I purchased it on Ebay. Is there any othee way to bypass T-Mo-s unlock app?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
None
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] koolboyztn:
Contact T-Mobile to have it unlock(Free) or paid unlock service.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
I have a feeling he is going to have to jump through hoops. He bought someones BOGO and it isn't paid off. He is going to have to wait until that guy pays it off and he's going to have to become a prepaid customer before T-Mobile will unlock the device. An unlock service won't be able to get you an unlock without the device being paid off. I suggest he return it after checking T-Mobile IMEI checker to see if there is a balance and there is one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nekmiyev:
When the 40 days are up. and request for a permanent unlock, does that remove the t-mobile logo when boot?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
No it does not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] koolboyztn:
if your friend really need the phone to be unlocked then, paid unlock service is only choice but it's will costly right now due to this is new model, around $100 to $150 last time i checked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
If there is a balance or marked stolen unlock services will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] teflon79:
i got mine through swappa and messeged them on facebook, my approval was made within hours to unlock via tmo app.. let em know your going to travel ☺
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Fourstarzzzz:
I contacted T-Mobile through Twitter and 24 hours later my phone is unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] clintonian:
What did you tell them exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] funcritter:
I bought my Note 8 from T-Mobile on launch day. T-Mobile tells me that I have to have the phone in use for 45 days before it will unlock using the app. Like the OP, the unlock app fails each time. They have a limit to how many phones a person can unlock per year and I have bought 7 phones in the last year.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Fourstarzzzz:
Told them I purchased it through Samsung...Gave them my IMEI # and came back and sent a request. 24 hours later they got back to me telling me I can unlock it through the unlock app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
That's not going to work if the phone was never on T-Mobiles network, and if they phone is on a payment plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Fourstarzzzz:
This is only for if you have T-mobile and bought the T-mobile branded phone from Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
Just clarifying because some people are going to see your post and assume they could tell a white lie and get it unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Fourstarzzzz:
Yeah if they bought it from Tmobile on a DPP they cannot do it till it is paid off
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
Even if it is paid off the device needs to be activated on the network, and "registered" first as well. One of the most annoying things people overseas have to deal with because most people rarely open the box before selling something.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
And even then, you never know. I had S8, now bought N8 and gave S8 to my wife who is on the same account as me. I unlocked my N8 within 24 hrs, followed the same procedure with S8, can't unlock, maybe SIM card not matching, so used my SIM card, but now phone number I gave them probably doesn't match, so still nothing. What really gets to me: both phones are bought from Samsung and fully paid and should never be locked to begin with. And the stupid SIM locking does nothing to deter anybody from anything, seems you can pay for unlocking your phone to some company and it's done without hustle and phone company involvement. I don't think I ever buy carrier phone again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
One Samsung submitted the IMEI and the other wasn't. Samsung send the IMEI they sell in batches to carrier. When it doesn't it's best to contact T-Force and they'll check with Samsung and then go to the right department to have the IMEI put into their system.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
I don't think Samsung submits imei to t-mo on it's own, I tweeted t-force for both, first tweeted info of my new N8, once that was done I said btw I have another phone my wife is using, but didn't have imei number with me, so submitted info day later. it's the second phone i can't unlock, will need to tweet again and get another agent involved but amount of time and effort wasted for something like this is ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
That's what Samsung is supposed to do especially if phones are locked to a carrier. Makes it hard for carriers to know what's theirs and what the options are.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] djlee0314:
Update: reached out to another TMO agent via Twitter an just asked for my IMEI. Should be able to unlock my phone tomorrow ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
I'm gonna say don't count your eggs until they have hatched. But I'm hoping it works
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Just speak to TMO, I got mine unlocked in under 72 hours
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
How did you speak to them again?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
Via "Tweeter " ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
Did you post what you told them in here? I got them damn unlock email 4 days ago saying there is no code and to use the app but restrictions may apply so the way I see it they have done nothing but send me a canned response because I still can't unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
Is your device paid off? Did you buy it 3rd party?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] djlee0314:
Success!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
Direct from Samsung.

No finance, note 7 deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
How long has it been since you talked to T-Mobile?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
I got the email response from the ARSystem Notification about using the unlock app about four days ago.

I'd say spoke to TMobile on the phone about 5 days ago.

Device isn't financed and I also used the note 7 promo if that even matters.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
That shouldn't matter at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Josephrross:
Do not buy Samsung note 8 directly from samsung for t-mobile.

Samsung offered me $425 rebate from note 7 debacle for my old note 5. They sent me the note 8 and I travelled outside usa and tried to unlock under terms p j one was paid in full. I spent over 30 hours on p j one with t-mobile and Samsung trying to get it unlocked. Spoke with executive officer at t-mobile and they cod not get Samsung to unlock phone. Samsung now refuses to answer emails. I now have a useless phone for travel outside usa. Business travelers do not buy phone if working outside usa.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
Just curious if you knew there was a high likelihood that you would use the phone outside the USA why would you not buy the unlocked version. The only downside i can think of is that you wont be able to get 4x4 MIMO 256 QAM (inside US coverage area), not sure that is a good enough reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] black96ss:
I don't know why people buying note 8s from Samsung are having issues unlocking their phone with t mobile. Samsung has nothing to do with the phone being locked. I bought my t mobile Note 8 from Samsung, financed it with Samsung and had it unlocked within 48 hours of the unlock request from t mobile. I don't even bother calling t mobile customer service anymore because t results in long waits, the twitter messenger HELP is the easiet and most effective way of getting help trust me. Long as the phone is not financed through T mobile, t mobile can unlock it for you...all they needed from me was a the IMEI, my email, and for the phone to have an active t mobile sim card in it for 72 hours(only took 48). I contacted t mobile before I even bought the phone from Samsung, told tmobile I was financing it through Samsung and how would I go about SIM unlocking it. I did this because I didn't want to end up buying a phone that couldn't be possibly unlocked. I called Samsung and they told me the exact same story. The phone will be shipped to me SIM locked through t mobile and after I receive it and active it, to contact t mobile to get it unlocked which is exactly what happened.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
What you arent getting is the process doesn't always work because Tmobile reps don't know what the hell they are doing. This isn't some magic process then needs to be broken down into baby steps. Thats the exact reason why its frustrating when it doesnt work.

Let me give you my path to success. I never call T-Mobile for anything and always use twitter first. I went to twitter and was told that I should give it a few days because the phone wasnt released. Gave it a week. went back to twitter and they said that they need samsung to release the IMEI and that I need to call samsung. I call samsung just so I can say I did what you told me and sammy laughed as I figured they would. I go ahead and give Tmobile a call and the person I get tells me I need to call samsung, I tell them been there done that, then they feed me some garbage line of my device is unlocked because I purchased it from Samsung.com. I give them the tiniest benefit of the doubt and guess what, pop in a sim and it doesn't work. I call back and they submit me for an unlock, I get an email and next to the Unlock Code field it says use the app. Guess what it doesnt work.

Up until this point I have explained my history of events to each person, finally after 2 twitter attempts, 1 sammy attempt, and 2 T-mobile calls I hit up twitter again and the guy seems to know my exiact situation, explains what he is going to do and 5 days (3 working) later the unlock app works.

There is nothing not to understand other than how disjointed and incompetent tech support can be.

Its not samsung's fault, its all t-mobile and how they train their people. When has there ever been this big of an influx of devices purchased from other sellers that weren't already unlocked. Example being if you took advantage of the Pixel deal, well the pixel is unlocked so you dont have to fiddle with giving them your IMEI for them to add it to their system That step doesn't exist. Now you have the Note 7 deal for the 8 that existed before the BOGO and is a better choice if you dont want to to change your plan or get another line. So now you have tons of users that purchased their phone directly from Sammy. You may notice when you purchase in store they pull up your account and manually add details. Devices ordered online are supplied directly from Tmobile and not the manufacturer, so you can assume someone at some point put your device in the system.

The Note 8s from samsung never touched tmobiles hands. They ship to you and sammy doesnt have access to Tmobiles database to whitelist devices. So now you have these techs that have either never done this or only done it a handful of times that now have to figure out how to manage it against a flagship release.

I have a note8 I bought from Samsung.com at release. Contacted tmobile through twitter to unlock and they are telling me to go through Samsung who tell me I have to go through Tmobile? Who is right and how do I get them at T-Mobile to unlock it.

Tmobile did mine via Twitter. Calling Sammy got me no where.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] norris.reber:
I just got off the phone with T-Mo and the customer service person said (first call) that since I bought the phone (my Note8) from Samsung I had to have them unlock it. She put me on a call to Samsung. They told me they couldn't unlock it it has to be the carrier. I called back and told them I was getting the run around and US law says if my phone meets the requirements they have to unlock it, T-Mo said it is not a T-Mobile phone. I told her it is a T-Mobile phone, it has their software and bloatware on it. After her checking with higher ups and she went to look on forums (I think she went here to this one too) she said she saw some people that took care of it on Twitter. She talked to her managers and they escalated this case and saw they had to put in a request for my phone to be "white listed". She said there should be an answer in 72 hours and she was going to call back on Thursday. (I guess 72 hours or 3 business days) I really hope this gets taken care of.

She said I had to go through the hassle, but hopefully this will help others after me. I really hope it helps.

Then I read an article that the Note8 won't work on the new system T-Mobile is coming out with. I hope that is not true hehe Good luck you guys

What system? Sounds so vague.
