Yes, and that would be just as fast as pressing call icon inside chat, but both this require extra presses and getting into individual chat, so not as fast as swiping to call from list. Plus compulsive bluetooth user here, so bit silly to have my phone tap my headphones on daily basis. ?

But I'll take my wins where I can, and unlimited pinning is it. At least for my work, where to do items, and important conversations are close to top, until done and they can be dismissed to fall back down.

who makes phone calls anyways...

i only receive them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Call me old fashioned, but I do all the time. I place such emphasis on it, that it actually weighs heavy on my choice of the phone, and why some other brands, essential, pixels, and 1+'s have fallen by the wayside, even though they have bootloader unlockable.

The others are not even worth considering. ?

Can somebody check if pie on N9 has option to record video in pro mode? I've read they removed this feature from S9/S9+... o.O
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
what do you mean? wasn't pro mode only for taking pictures?

anyways the way it works now is that video is now a mode in itself. so mabe that answers your question.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaelstromXC:
In Oreo, you can record video in Pro mode. You can do manual focus, change white balance and EV.

Oh. Make sure gcf in IMS settings is turned off. Don't know if you ever trigerred it in the past while messing with things. Don't know if you ever tried reset of the IMS either. But that's enough from me bugging you.

Anyone have any idea why I'd get an error after downloading the update. Tried to grab a screen shot but it disappeared too quickly. I've tried downloading it 4 times now. Went to Sammobile too, but it was 4 GB and taking 6 hours.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Mehhhh I always did a full wipe before flashing anything!

Never bothered me to wipe the old stuff, that's why whenever I flashed anything I literally never ever encountered issues. But that's just the perfectionist/ocd in me, I get it that a lot of people don't want to bother with wiping then reinstalling everything back.

Tho I noticed after the new update phone feels a lot smoother! Writing with swipe keyboard is ridiculously fast and smooth. Good stuff ??

Odin (patched), PD-Disabler & Swift Installer

Before I take the Pie/UI One plunge on my N960W. Can anyone with the same, confirm that PD-disabler & Swift Installer still work? I'm also looking for a good link to the patched version of Odin? I've downloaded my current firmware from SamMobile just incase Pie/UI One isn't to my liking.

I got the confirmation email 4 days later lol. But I called Samsung the day I ordered and they said it looked fine in their system.

I think the pre order gift will ship with the phone if ordered directly from Samsung? That's why I think there is no option for the Samsung store.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] diggmc:
Holy cow... 4 days! That's freaking insane...

I'm not so sure about that. I tried choosing "other" for the store and put "Samsung online store" in the available box. Just received an e-mail with the following:

You're one step closer to receiving a bonus Gear Icon X cord-free earbuds following purchase*.

To finish the redemption process, complete the purchase of your device through the carrier or retailer you pre-ordered from and then sign into your Samsung Account during the device setup with the same Samsung Account email address used upon registration. Deadline to sign in to your Samsung Account is September 30, 2018.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] funkydude101:
By chance, did you order via PayPal? That's what I did.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

Depending on where you live I actually find Samsung's customer service better than Apple's in one specific scenario. Online or over the phone, Apple FTW. All the way the reps at Samsung just give you numbers to call until you give up.

If you live near a Samsung service center you're in luck. You don't have to make an appointment and still wait one hour to be served and sit there for another 2 hours while they run tests and factory reset your phone ad nauseam. You walk in explain the issue drop your phone and pick it up 2 hours later. Might not fit everyone's lifestyle but it works for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
I’ve been really enjoying sort of no-question-asked in store service even in cases where the whole unit had to be replaced. I never had to wait for unreasonable amount of wait time when I showed up at the appointment either. The whole process is painless. All the Samsung stores are dealers, at least where I live. First thing these a-holes would try to do is turn you away in any way possible.

As I posted a few days ago, it took 18+ hours for me to receive an order email from when I checked out. That was on Tuesday. I just checked the My Samsung Orders page and there's no information at all. Should I be concerned and call Samsung. Guess I'm looking to hear from someone that ordered directly from Samsung Canada store and see if your page has any information?

I ordered from Samsung Canada on Aug 9th and received a confirmation email within 5 mins. I logged into my Samsung account afterwards and did see the phone there too. I also double checked my credit card and I saw the pending charge (which has now been charged actually). Not sure if this will help but there was a phone number attached to my order if any questions.

Thank you for confirming that. I did call a few minutes ago and was told that because this is a pre-order the page would not indicate the order.

Just for info. XAC csc option contains all providers, with all apn's etc. Just tested it with freedom, loading XAC instead of globalive... Both VoLTE and VoWiFi connect fine.

Hopefully, either Koodo, or XAC work for you this time around.

Oh... My VoLTE icon is back. On oreo csc with pie it was gone regardless of setting. Now that it's back suggests some minor incompatibilities were present, even though all worked seemingly fine.

ive never seen a volte status bar icon.

is it back on XAC or on your correct csc ( global?)

btw did you notice no encryption this time and ive added some useful quick tiles for all providers.?

edit

on xac volte is provisioned but not wifi calling. in the phone app service option is not there

edit 2

just realized when i was adding the quick setting tiles values j was using a compaire software to easily and quicly mod all CSC .xmls and for some reason a few line breaks slipped through... dosent seem to affect anything though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
VoLTE icon is enabled editing customer xml.

Thanks for no encryption but I also unencryp network xml cause I mess with some of those as well, but thanks, your heart is in the right place. I also add native recording and data in notifications options, but no biggie for me to quickly copy paste it.

I get both services working on XAC.

Oh BTW, on XAC with mint mobile sim, in USA (bit of weekend skiing), they are using t-mobile network.... Wifi calling and sms over lte work out of box (edit:scratch that.. this info was from network, it doesn't work in practice as it's missing wifi calling option in dialer. VoLTE, SMS over lte, and VoVideo work, not sure about rcs) , bit of tinkering with IMS settings enables all advanced features.... No need to flash American csc, or detonator from TEKHD.

Something I have noticed with Koodo and N960F : I have Lte icon show up when I flash the koodo csc ( or anyother csc )

With the Koodo note 9 device ( n960w) I get the Lte+ icon.

Dont know if n960f is missing some bands that 960w supports.

Any ideas ?

That's the carrier aggregation at work on w phone, that we on international just don't get, something I discussed with [MENTION=8132601]bober10113[/MENTION] last week.

LTE+ shows up as a result of carrier aggregation joining 2 or more bands concurrently (or same band doubled up in case of 66 + 66 band on freedom) to give you more bandwidth. Now AT&T is marketing that as 5GE (5g evolution and sprint lawsuit you must have read about in news lately) ?

We're capable and have all necessary bands just as domestic phones, but no allowed to go and enable it on our phone, due to strengthened samsung security since oreo. Last I was able to go and get my CA (lte+) on F phone was on s8 and nougat.

Sent from my phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
Makes sense...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
i wonder how much 'faster' CA is. on virgin/bell i can already get a 20mhz band so maybe im not missing out on much. it might help out when in low reception areas as smaller bandwidth links send and receive better than bigger ones.... so 2 or more 5mhz links might make up for a stronger signal when 15mhz or 20mhz single links arent available.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
That's exactly right. Personally on day to day anything that gets me above 10 mbps and doesn't make my video stutter is virtually unnoticeable unless you are downloading large ammount of data. 4k streaming for example, but who has that kind of data plan.

But yes it does help when you get band 12,13,17 which most that I know provide in 5mhz increments, to pair up with band 4 15mhz for example, or band 12 + 4 + 7 etc. Also aggregating same band with lot of frequency is not so much for speed itself, but imagine yourself in situations with lots of users using data at the same time in small area, like concert venues etc.

But yeah in a nutshell, although I would like CA, I still prefer partial freedom that root offers us, as I mentioned this weekend popping local USA sim (or anywhere for that matter) and by manipulating csc getting myself features that our Canadian brethren will never have.

Shame really how manufacturers see providers as their customers and not buyers and users of their phones.

What an ordeal you've gone through.

Just a note on oem unlock aids lol. It is purely dependant on base stock rom. Since your original was Korean and you must have kept flashing custom firmware afterwards you probably did not get affected,

Flashing euro stock definitely gets you. So you could flash your Korean base rom, it should have oem unlock right out of gate, but that's lot of work, and you've already suffered.

With all bs north American providers do, you can never be sure whether 4g+ is lte or 3g. Little known fact... carrier aggregation was launched by big 3 for 3g bands just as lte was taking off in Canada.

Also umts is sometimes marked as 4g+ by some nam providers. Just a cluster-**** and don't know what TEKHD based it on. Rest of the world have it easy.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
thats the thing, i cant flash any other stock firmware except the N960N.

but its something that was inside of tekhd's rom that triggered the whole thing.

anyways, im still playing around with it because it dosent make sense that now starting fresh off of a korean base that now i get the custom binaries issue...which i never ever had. ive flashed countless custom roms before and never ever had any issues like this. it is puzelling

im actually on vacation so i dont mind really. ..lol but im kinda pist a bit because that oem unlock crap is realllllly annoying
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
I'm just so sorry, because I could have told you that American csc and American based firmwares are a no go for 0011, or any secret menu options. As well as the fact that nobody solved ca issue in nam for a while (since 8 series galaxies s and note)

Knew that from all the reading about issue, which is why I kinda mentioned last week that Canadian csc was generally most liberal till oreo (still is in our limited kinda way). Not because of benevolence of our providers, but the fact that we are a backwater in big scheme of things, they forgot about tightening screws, till they didn't.
