[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Sn0wR@pt0r:
Hey guys...I'm one of a few that are waiting (for diff reasons) to buy my first Note 8 (leaning N-model), so been following this info.

It's has been said that, due to Samsung not intending to sell SD models "overseas" & not intending EX models for the USA...may be precluding the EX's from working properly in the USA on AT&T or T-Mo.

One thought has occurred to me (slightly different angle)...is that with regard to normal users traveling internationally with SD & EX models (for business or pleasure)...they will want to take their phones with them & use them while away from their "Home" regions.

If these phones get that crappy of data speeds away from "Home", nearly every single Note 8 owner (SD & EX alike) will be screaming bloody murder when they travel abroad...as it would be utterly useless to take their Note 8's with them, since Email, FB, etc. would barely function, if at all (if no WiFi nearby).

That said, an EX user from EU or Asia, should be able to travel to the USA with their F or N models (even stock ones) and be able to connect to AT&T or T-Mo (2 most likely carriers) either by roaming or using a prepaid SIM (after any Region-Locks are removed), and get fairly useful & decent speeds on DL & UL during their visit to the USA. Otherwise, they might as well as leave their phones at home...which would piss them off, right?

If they were having issues, wouldn't we be hearing about it from some source or another?? Or...is it still too new of a device to hear of such issues yet?

Please excuse me, if I am mistaken on that scenario...and please feel free to correct the bad info in that scenario, if any of it is wrong.

If I'm correct, though...if a visitor's Note 8 should work in the USA...then why wouldn't these F or N models that we are currently trying to use on AT&T & T-Mo??

What's the differentiating factor between a normal user & us?

:confused:

Any chance anyone has tried to Roam here on an EX using an "overseas" SIM & seeing what happens on speeds, bands, or CA status (both stock & rooted)? Even if just a EU/UK T-Mo SIM (since roaming on T-Mo USA should be natural here)? Could yield some additional info on the issue at hand...ya know?

Carry on & good luck! :good:

:cool:

Very good point. After all that's the whole purpose of a Dual SIM phone right?

I'm going to call TMO tomorrow to see if I can find some more info about registering the IMEI onto the network, "officially."
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
That means the N950F (looks like you're using the TMobile CSC), is capable of Band 4 + 12 (2CA) LTE.

Can anyone else who has Band 4 and 12 in their area confirm this?

Mind posting a screenshot of ServiceMode during a speedtest?

Yeah, that's how B4 (AWS) works, the downlink frequency is 2100 MHz but the uplink is 1700 MHz, I assume it was done this way as to not interfere with Band 2.

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

This is 100% correct.

The guy in the N950N AT&T thread was using one stream of data using Band 2, and managed to achieve around 70 Mbps without CA and only 2 bars of LTE on his phone.

However, in areas where signal strength is questionable, your phone should use CA, which in most cases, it isn't doing.

From some screenshots above, it's clear that the N950F does support CA between Band 4 (AWS) and Band 12.

Other bands, I can't say for sure. Would be easier if someone had a TMO Branded N950U and a N950F/N950N with the TMO CSC side by side.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
on that i can offer that when I called customer service to ask them to make sure my IMEI was registered in their system, the girl said it was as far as she could see (after having me read it to her), but I might want to call back during normal business hours and ask for I think 'tech team' ? does that sound right?

I haven't done it yet as I have been busy working on finalizing the T-Mobile CSC patch and the usual work/school nonsense/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
It's not the phone it's T Mobile they suck. I just came from the V20 on Tmoblie. It sucked so bad. At least once a month my phone would have no service for like 5min. Dropped calls service was horrible and yes I lived in the city Houston so I was not in the country. When I got my Note8 I changed to ATT it has been great. Not one time have I not had service.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] masri1987:
I'm seeing band 2 and 4 , i haven't seen band 12 pop up at any time

Also screenshots won't do it justice i gotta do a screen recording so you can see the behavior
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] masri1987:
Make sure you get to technical support, get to the "supervisor" which is a floor sup, then get to a regular supervisor. that's a technically capable individual that will help file the ticket and verify provisioning, anyone before this person is inept and incompetent

I know it's a hassle. i postd my TT# earlier in the thread too
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] masri1987:
So I finally had a chance to spend more than a few hours out. Went to the barber shop and LA Fitness which are right next to each other. I finally saw band 12 being used conjunction with band 4 but indoors only. I haven't open Spotify since installing this ROM so there's no cache data so Spotify kept buffering a lot when I was in side of the bathroom at LA Fitness. Signal was pretty much bad I know it's not great inside LA Fitness but it got worse. With that being said my battery dropped 10% in 1 hour for Bluetooth streaming and Signal kept fluctuating up and down. Just trying to make sense of all this
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] masri1987:
Is there anyway to log signal and band statistics over a period of time?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] masri1987:
Tested a T-Mobile s8+ insider barbershop side by side to my note 8. My speeds were pathetic. My signal was better than the s8 prior to beginning test but worse during test.

First pic is s8 second is my phone

Edit, upload of attachments failed until I got in a better area. ( S8+ upload speeds are just fine in the same area )

Is it possible by any means that our international phone are more susceptible to interference and obstruction?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iunlock:
I think it has more to do with the limitations on the software end to where it's not able to lock on to a signal well due to the chaos occurring at the software level. [MENTION=2996598]DeeXii[/MENTION] can you confirm that you're TMO Note 8's signal strength is on par with your TMO Note 5? We know that the carrier variants don't have any issues, but I'm curious how the dBm/asu compare....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
I'm really wondering why I'm not experiencing what all you guys are experiencing. Like how guys run a test, get good speeds, then test again & speeds go to crap. Many of you get similar results yet there's no one with an Exynos reporting similar results as me?

I mean I don't always get good speeds, sure there's areas where I get low speeds (not as low as some of you guys' screen shots) and it will be consistently slow. Then I can run a test in a good coverage area, get good speeds with repeatable results. Maybe the towers around here are configured better, whatxs going on? I haven't messed with any settings that were not meant for the average user to mess with.

Today I was in an area listed on Sensorly to have good LTE coverage. I got the best speeds I have ever seen on a phone around here. Never seen this fast of a speed with my Note 5 either.

Ran the test 5 times in a row.

[MENTION=5129886]shouren04[/MENTION]

Mind posting a ServiceMode screenshot while the speedtest is happening and one when your phone is just idle?

It's *#0011# if you didn't already know.

Sent from my SM-N950F
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
I did already, post #147.

Hopefully it may shed some light?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Ah yes.

So you're in an area where TMO is using B4 and B12 and the F variant is capable of CA between those two.

Some people don't have B12 or B4 in their areas and they're the ones who I believe are getting screwed.

Sent from my SM-N950F
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
And for what it's worth, I have a N950F from Clove UK. It came out the box with QH9. I then update to QI1 OTA. Then installed TWRP & rooted. Then installed Kalm_Traveler's TMO mod. I did nothing else except turn off VoLTE which should have nothing to do with this. I have a grandfathered unlimited plan, Bing On is disabled. I was seeing the same speeds even before installing the TMO transformation mod.

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

I see. So this means no one's phone's (except for maybe KT's) really have software or hardware issues or is that still arguable? I got a bit lost with the recent few pages. Last I remember was talk about CA not working properly or something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Finally had a second to take screenshots of the CA combos on my T-Mobile Note 5 and my Note 8, as attached.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] masri1987:

What is vld band
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
What's the code for that? I tried searching for it yesterday & couldn't find it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
It would be *#2683662# for Exynos phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
I'm using a shortcut app, you can invoke it if rooted via terminal emulator, the code is 27663368378 then menu options ETC -> Common -> Information -> Band/FGI/CA Info
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
As proven by [MENTION=4375750]Kalm_Traveler[/MENTION] The N950F supports CA between B2 and B4, so your phone is using Band 2 (1900 MHz) and Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz) as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
I tried that yesterday. I think that's the one where someone said it was disabled a while back? Doesn't work on my Note 8 or my Note 5.

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

Thanks, Phone INFO had it (same developer of Shortcut Master) & was able to launch it. Mine looks exactly the same as yours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] masri1987:
Just so we are clear I have a N950N

As I understand band 12 is for indoor coverage.

So if it's working as it should why the low speeds

Hey guys, My brother gave me a tablet to use for my etextbooks at college and I haven't used the tablet too often tbh. I saw that there was an update and the entire tablet froze during the process and now is stuck in a bootloop. I'm completely new to abd and every time I run it, it doesn't recognize the commands. I tried side loading and got this error through adb "adb server version (31) doesn't match this client (39) killing."

This is the only way I can see it on my computer. I was able to get around the adb server error by using my new laptop but now I'm stuck because it's stock so the bootloader is locked.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] obtuce:
so i just ordered a mi mix and waiting for it to arrive, i started looking at options to root and ROM it up. my objective is to get it looking (and feeling) like the pixel's interface. (yes, could install pixel launcher too) :P

but know, i ask myself, what are the differences between my choices. i've no real idea what Lineage means or looks like.. i have always rooted my devices with AOSP built roms. which of the 3 options are more stable / complete?

i heard that best is Global rom but not even sure what that runs on or how it looks / feels..

side note that i am from Canada.. does it make any difference as our LTE bands might not be the same.

any insight can help.

(sorry if posted in wrong section).
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] obtuce:
okay, well, while i was waiting, i figured out that lineage is the old CM.. (things have changed in the past year LOL).

so let me rephrase.

am i better off with Lineage 14 based rom or going with global stable rom ?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] jr313:
If you're looking for asop or pure android look into lineage or one of the other asop ROMs. I used AIOSP and that gave me the pixel look I was use to having on my nexus 6P and nexus. Lineage isn't bad just use the google launcher or if you can find a pixel launcher apk and you'll be exactly where you want to be with the look and feel. As for the global ROM it is miui basically, you still have its interface throughout even if you change the launcher. I actually just got my Mi Mix about 1 week ago and I love it especially since I rooted and took miui off of it, I can't wait for the android O ports to roll in. Before my nexus 6P decided to take a crap on me battery wise I had the preview installed on it and it was amazing. Hope this helps, also I'm in the US with T-Mobile and LTE works fine everywhere.

Tried RR,Epic,Viper so far viper had been my favorite because i just can't give up the stock/pixel experience

If you like stock Android a lot then you'll be fine with lineage based ROMs

In terms of perfomance i think Epic is best even though lineage based are great but it happens very seldom the thermal throttling lag I haven't tried it but some say Dragon Xia is a fix
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] obtuce:

Anyone found a solution for this?

Wifi was spotty before the Android 8 update but now it's almost unusable. Every now and again it will just stop showing wifi connections, toggling wifi on and off might show a connection or 2 but it will either disappear or just say "Disabled" when trying to connect to it. Reboot solves it for a little while.

Usually use 2.4Ghz wifi with a variety of router brands.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Happens here on Android 8 as well, quite annoying to be honest. Sometimes drops the connection for no reason, and then when I click on WiFi settings, it doesn't show any connections till I turn WiFi on and off and even then it'll only show 1 SSID, turning it off for a while longer and then turning it back on brings back the rest of them and then it'll connect, but it's stupid how I have to keep doing this every few hours.
