So is it more trouble getting the unlocked phone? Knowing the issues we are having is getting the carrier version easier to?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] nuclearrage:
After a little while and an OTA update, it now shows LTE , hasn't gone the 4g LTE yet. I will look around after setting up phone to see if there is an easier way than flashing the phone to get the correct settings
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] c-prodigo:
How about during calls, are you getting volte to work, does the lte icon stays while on call, if volte won't work then its useless to get the unlocked version, I was about to order the unlocked version from bestbuy, with 24 months 0 apr, which I find better because if one month I want to pay more than others I can, that way I will pay monthly the most I can or just the minimum, at&t forces to make the same payments or pay it off.

*GET A NEW SIM CARD FOR YOUR NOTE8*

I finally got LTE working on my Note8 unlocked with AT&T. The issue with H+ speed was the SIM card being associated with a different phone prior.

A knowledgeable rep informed me that some features may not work because the IMEI is not registered as an AT&T phone since it's unbranded and some provisionings are not set. The rep put a different IMEI on as a temporary fix and submitted an order to include/add this unbranded IMEI on AT&T's device list to enable all provisionings/features such as VoLTE.... 3 to 5 business days and I will report back.

ATM I have LTE+ with 40Mb/s speed. It drops to H+ on calls so no VoLTE provision yet.

Volte?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] akellar:
Prepaid doesn't have volte on any device
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Genesis730:
Glad your old SIM worked. Seems hit and miss and probably a good rule of thumb to just save the possible headache and get a new SIM.

It is interesting that when not on a call i do have VoLTE available, once a call connects it drops to UMTS. Definitely a provisioning issue.

I thought that for AT&T you need to have them enable VoLTE and Wifi Calling provisioning on their end via the new phone's IMEI since it isn't in their system yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Genesis730:
I believe that's the case. It's what I was advised. Waiting for them to add my unbranded IMEI to their system. Will report back when/if my features are all working
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Digibeginner:
Just got the new sim from the mail. Put the new sim in and no data connection and phone said no provision on this new sim. Called AT&T and the guy provisioned it for me and I got LTE+. Very happy and finished conversation with rep and hung up. After a minute or so, it went right back to H+. Now I called back and is being transferred to the advanced technical department. The lady helping me now is going to put my last phone's IMEI in the system to see if that will work. Well I got LTE+ for about 1 minute and now back to 3G and H+ back and forth. After some more work from her, she finally came back and said that they have no other way to make it work better. She said that they have seen some people flash the AT&T software and got it to work. I got cut off and I called back to the advanced technical department and got another lady. She tried multiple things and I got LTE+ but again as soon as I surf for a while, it went right back to H+. This lady said that she will push my IMEI through and try to do some fixing on their end. She will get back to me in 24 hours or so.

I hope they realize that it is a problem and fix things permanently. Will get back to you if things got fix for good. Good luck everyone.

I've been battling w att for the past 5 days regarding volte and Wi-Fi calling and first of all they are idiots and second of all they don't support it on unbranded phones. I believe we will need to wait until the ATT firmware is leaked and add their code to our phones. I don't believe there is a way around it and I don't believe att will send out an update to allow for unbranded phones to have that feature.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] tokoam:
Guys I'm on ATT and I have the unlocked version and I get LTE and LTE + without any issues at all. Speeds are very fast!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Digibeginner:
Hi tokoam, can you tell me what Preferred Network Type your phone is set to?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] checksum123:
I just cancelled my order for the unlock on samsung site. I am just going to get it from AT&T and request the unlock code since I am paying full price. The phone are exactly the same minus the AT&T logo and the bloatwares. I will just disable the bloatwares as most of them can be disabled now. Also their phone are provisionned to work better on their network, so you get all the nice features such as volte, hd voice and wifi calling, I dont want to flash a firmware left and right, etc... Another thing I noticed is the visual voice-mail is also not available on the unlock phone, you will have to download an older version and sideload it.

Makes sense in a way that they will want to not give you all the extra features if you buy an unlock phone, because they want to make money also by selling you their phone. It's like will give you some cake bu there will not be any icing on top.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] nuclearrage:
I am still on my old sim , I get LTE just fine. Went to AT&T store and they checked it out again, said I didn't need new sim. I said I have no LTE+ , they said that's right because in Wyoming we don't have that yet. On my 7edge I only remember seeing "4gLTE" ,so I think this sounds right. My data tests around 40 mbps down and 5 to 10 mbps up. Same as it was on my 7edge. I don't seem to get VoLTE but my phone calls still work,so no biggie here.i can't seem to find a setting for Wi-Fi calling,so can't test that yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] tokoam:
It's on ATT nextGen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Digibeginner:
Thanks tokoam but I don't mean apn, I meant Preferred Network Type, like LTE/GSM/WCDMA vs GSM/WCDMA vs LTE/UMTS etc. You can find that by using the phone app and dial *#*#4636#*#* and then press Device Info. In the middle of the screen it will tell you your Preferred Network Type there.

The reason I asked is because since I talked to the tech and she provisioned my unlocked phone, I got LTE briefly and then lost it. I finally went into this manual and changed the Preferred Network Type to LTE/UMTS and got LTE signal back. It stayed in LTE signal whole night now. I wonder whether some people got LTE after provisioning their phone and some people don't is because of this difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Dark Jedi:
All I did with mine was place the SIM card in and powered up the phone. It seeaaid it was restarting to install the att files and after that and setting up my Google account it was on LTE and been there since.

Hi Xenshen,

If I flash this Firmware will I get the full AT&T bloatware? Do you know exactly what "CCT" type means? Thanks for your help!

UPDATE! Iflashed the Xenshen Firmware, everything but the UserData file and it DID bring me back to Stock AT&T Note 8 (which is where I started then flashed the US Unlocked Firmware but lost all AT&T functionality). I maybe should have tried to flash the UserData file when I was still on the US Unlocked firmware but ran out of time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Xenshen:
Cct is Comcast which they own
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] checksum123:
OK,

I went to AT&T and bought the Note 8 directly from them after cancelling my order for the unlock on samsung website. So far everything works great, no major issues. I was able to disable all the bloatwares, there is no AT&T logo printed on the phone itself. The only AT&T logo is at bootup.

Here are some screenshot I took...

Let me know guys if you need anything or if I can help in anyways...

So what's the consensus, unlocked version at $930, or ATT at $950? If neither has an unlocked bootloader, is there any real advantage to the unlocked version besides the $20 difference?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Xenshen:
The unlocked version can work for any carrier without a unlock code and the att will have there bloat were which u could flash to another carrier I don't think another SIM would work in it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] royal1262:
There are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of an unlocked version is that you have no carrier bloatware and can use it on any network. You also get all the software goodies that major carriers block suck as caller ID and spam detection, auto restart etc. The disadvantages is that you loose WiFi/video calling Volte (HD voice).

Hope this helps you with your decision.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Digibeginner:
I finally gave up trying to get my unlocked version to work on AT&T network smoothly. I flashed AT&T firmware with the userdata file together and it is working flawlessly as if it is an AT&T branded phone. The phone is still unlocked and there is the AT&T logo at startup. There weren't many bloatware from AT&T and you can either uninstall or disable the ones you don't like. I guess it saved me $20 by getting the unlocked one.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
Not all the unlocked had issues...some are connecting just fine as well as WiFi calling...not to mention you can flash complete...people should consider why people get the unlocked versions before getting one themselves...it's simple, if you want unbranded without bloat and willing to sacrifice carrier functions get unlocked...if you want all carrier functions and bloat get carrier version or get unlocked and flash to carrier...a lot of users had plenty of success calling carrier and having imei added to whitelist database and account provisioned for functions, like I Did...some times, though, the issue is a buggy device that needs to be replaced...most of the time it is the user not being familiar with flashing and getting imei info corrected...it is better to problem solve and educate instead of saying it's all unlocked that are the problem...now that mine is ironed out, I am getting twice the performance of the carrier version...but in reality there is no real difference once SM-N950U1 AND SM-N950U Are both on carrier Firmware, other than imei...they are the same device....

There is only 'dot' key in the qwerty keyboard layout (vertical) - is there a way to put 'colon' instead? Because colon is more often used and that dot we can get by double pressing space... who invited that keyboard in Samsung...

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] recDNA:
Is there anything short of throwing away my android watch I can do to protect my V20 from Blueborne? By the time VZW gives us the September security update it will be next spring at the earliest. Do any of the anti malware programs in the playstore help?

I do not wish to root since the one step rooting "apps" themselves are a terrible security risk. They come. from god knows who god knows where and could hide any malware they want in your phone.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] evo4g63t:
Well the good news is this:

- the attacker has to be within 30ft

- your phone will turn on if it was asleep so you'll know when something is going on

- if you've got your lock screen setup with pin, pass or fingerprint the Bluetooth hackers won't be able to by-pass it (at least not currently)

- when the phone is hacked it'll be noticeable it's not like this hack is going to work in the background your phone will noticeably be doing stuff. From what I understand it'll behave as if you're actually operating it which means you'll see activities on your phone I could be wrong but I don't believe this hack can function without being noticeable.

Some tips:

- turn off Smart Lock

- ensure you use secure lock (pin/pass/print)

- use Tasker to automate Bluetooth on/off

Situations like this make me wonder why they don't design Android in such a way that google can just release security patches on the fly without worrying about different configurations like Windows. I hope they do this in the future because being reliant on your carrier and manufacturer to get your releases.

These security risks make me seriously consider getting a Google phone next.

I see this as another stagefright type bug a serious security flaw that never really took off. In fact stagefright was worse in regards the only thing needed is a phone number.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] recDNA:
Those are comforting thoughts except wearing an Android watch and hardly ever turning off my screen makes me easy fodder. I'm not sure downloading everything from my docs folder would be noticeable as I discuss it in Tapatalk.

I work in an environment of tech savvy people. Probably not unusual for 50 people to be within 30 feet. Kind of ideal hunting ground really and my phone is seldom locked. I wear an Android watch so bluetooth never off (although I now leave it at home and have disabled bt in my car and leave it off in phone all the time

BTW, I thought the same about Pixel until I read a lot of those users who upgraded to Oreo no longer receive their sms. They can send but not receive so like me they now have to wait for an update!

Wish there were some antivirus app that could stop BlueBorne
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] evo4g63t:
There is an app called Bluetooth firewall that I've got that is supposed to monitor Bluetooth connections and only accept ones you approve of. It's by FruitMobile and I had forgotten I purchased it awhile ago. I'd be curious if someone could test to see if this could actually block it.

Screenshot of the log below

View attachment 4275252

My question is when people use this exploit does it show up as an unidentified device or will it spoof itself as a device on your phone? Or will it even register on your phone as connected?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] recDNA:
I suspect if it worked the security firm that discovered the exploit would be selling an app to block BlueBorne. I haven't heard of an actual infections yet but they may be set up to all pop on a certain day like WannaCry.

Google should make their cure available in the Playstore. By the time it goes to LG then to Verizon then to me I'm thinking Xmas at the earliest. VZW showing no urgency since no complaints of infection coming in

As I understand it it does not have to pair with your device.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] evo4g63t:
Yeah I just read that, ridiculous. Honestly surprised these flaws weren't found a long time ago. This is why I think one company should be responsible for on the fly security updates.

We will be lucky to see a patch by the end of the year.

The app has a strict mode that denies all Bluetooth connections could that theoritically still block it?

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] recDNA:
Let me be clear. Turning off Bluetooth IS a big deal to me because my smartwatch just became a paperweight but the post I replied to spoke of an extra app to block bluetooth. If blocked it is essentially off right?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] evo4g63t:
Bluetooth is essential for two things my Fitbit and my speaker...a lot of components use Bluetooth now a days. I can't wear headphones at work but I can use a speaker that I clip on my shirt it also allows me to take calls while using equipment.

With phones removing the 3.5mm I would guess Bluetooth is going to be even more important.

Realistically The security risk is fairly low for me (and probably for most) since I am always out and about at work so the chances of anyone having a real opportunity to hack my phone is going to be slim having to stay 30ft with me.

The biggest issue is notifications I use the Fitbit for text notifications on a regular basis and it saves time not having to pull my phone out.

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

It's sort of confusing considering the exploit allows connections without pairing I am unsure if the app will work. I know it blocks connections when unauthorized devices try to pair but seeing as the exploit requires no pairing it might not work.
