[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
Hi all! I have a Galaxy S8 Active which runs T-Mo firmware and is used on T-Mo network. The phone has latest August patch installed. Could anyone please tell me what is the charging rate measured with Ampere or similar app? I don't have original charger and cable at the moment, but I do have compatible chargers such as Anker 5 port QC 3.0 and 1 port of with PD which is 3 Amp. I also tried Pixel 2 charger, another Microsoft 3.0 Amp charger. All of those chargers provide about 970mA which is the max I have seen. The rate doesn't go up. The lock screen shows as charging fast
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bamsbamx:
It depends on the charger. I measured with a USB tester the charge rate with two SONY chragers and, while one charges at 0.9 A, the other one does it at 1.5 A.

The capacity of the battery seems to be 2400 mAh with a brand new one from 2017

Hello everyone!

My Gear Sport used up 500mb of mobile data in 10days. No idea how.

I link the watch via Bluetooth normally.

There are a lot of settings in the Data Usage section on the Note 8. Is there anything i can toggle to restrict so much data usage?

Dear All,

I have a unique problem with my HTC TyTn II for which I tried searching but without any luck.

1) What is the difference between Normal and Automatic Sounds? When I try to change the ringtone in automatic, it also changes in Normal.

2) How do I change or create a new profile?

3) For instance I am setting an alarm, If I put my mobile in silent, it just flashes light but doesnt sound the alarm. I normally like to turn off sound completely for phone calls and sms when sleeping to avoid disturbance. How do I achieve only alarm sound without phone calls and sms sounds?

Thank you very much in advance.

Suree

P.S. Sorry if this is a double post.:(:(:(:(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
Automatic mode switches between normal and silent depending on whether your calendar shows as busy - so the ringtone will stay the same - as auto means normal when you are free.

There are third party profile management apps - otherwise simply put the phone in flight mode when you sleep - then alarm will work but the device will not receive calls/texts/emails.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aussiesuree:
Thank you unwired. Really appreciate your quick answer, can you please point me to some free profile management software please?

Also, are there any 3rd party apps for setting ringtones to all contacts? Thanks again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NotATreoFan:
Can't help you with the profile management since I don't use them...

For your contacts, there is a field in each one that allows you to select a custom ringtone for that person. Just tap Edit while looking at the contact.

hey thanks for the write up.Did you get wifi calling to work by chance.I changed my SM-N960N csc to AT&T everything working but cant get wifi calling to work its not greyed out or anything.I get a message IMS service has stopped which I believe is something message related then just keep telling me to try again later,any fix yet,THANKS AGAIN
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
glad someone was able to make a cleaner version of my dodgy instructions.

also note that editing SW_Configuration.xml is meaningless because you can simply copy paste it from the region/carrier omc folder you want to change to. infact you can simply copy over whole contents of omc from new region tou want to change to and replace thise files on phone. then, go edit them to specific carrier codes since stock files point to region code instead of a specific csc. take the opportunity to delete all unneeded subfolders in omc since they are from other carriers. ( replacing files = lost oermissions so remember org permissions and set them back)

by replacing ALL omc files you end up really changing all files to that specific carrier/region and not use partial old original csc and part new csc. just a suggestion as to not end up with a franken-xsc but hey do what ever works for you...

in odm HWRDB are keyboard languages matching region. so it can also be a good thing to copy over if your are missing keyboards.

also people, stop quoting first post... takes 2 minutes to scroll.

OP maybe use the spoiler function to hide them pictures..

also for any one else wanting to get their own files.

grab stock fimware you want to change to from where ever,

extract odm.md5 with 7zip then use the utilities at the following link to unpack and then uncompress img( the bigger 300mb or so file in there is the one we want to work with) so use the 2 tools here to get access to the actual odm/omc/csc folders and files:

https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhXVLDDj8g3AgdJZvVHcXqqlKgy0dg

now you can change to any region/carrier. if they update then you can repeat OP procedure with the latest files. so you're not stuck using old out of date files.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jgoorn:
I got volte, it says HD+ on my calls. Also I now have 4g LTE and not H+. Something has happened. I'll try bober's idea of copying all the stuff and see if WiFi calling gets enabled.

Inside my newly built house (10 years) the insulation is so strong I get poor cell service. At another family member's home I get no service. :( I'll try when I am outside to post speed test results.

This internation note 9 has better bands support for tmobile usa than my pixel xl. So it will be an upgrade for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
when using speedtest app, you might want to try and manualy select a server instead of letting the app do it. i have a preferred server that i know always yeilds the fastest and most consistent result for my region.

On a PC, test a few and figure out which is the best and then use that one to test on your phone

also, i believe csc only has apn settings and nothing more to help signal.In the new csc youd want to switch to there is a sipdb folder that might or might not have anything to with reception.In the IT field, SIP is related to VoIP so these files might be needed for Volte.

in phones original firmware, cp is the modem files so if a new version is out, you guys might want to flash CP in odin to get on the latest.( not CP from your desired csc but for your actual device.

on my part, had done my own procedure successfully a while ago.

Anyone else having issues with current guide should try to copy EVERYTHING(except lost and app folders) from odm. I had covered this in not so much details but with keeping in mind to copy over everything and looking at the example pictures and with logic and knowledge, confident anyone can get their csc up and running properly:

I don't think CSC has any performance enhancement. I'm okay with it saying 4G instead of LTE
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
when you restore in twrp, try mounting efs and carrier paths before restore.

CSC would have APN settings but actual cell and data bands are managed by modem(CP)/hardware. so what ever is or isint working is prety much as is. new firmware updates can contain optimizations but won't allow more bands to connect than what is currently available.

I have yet to go to a T-Mobile location, oddly I was using bug spray yesterday and a remnant from it was on my thumb and it melted my thumbprint into the screen protector. Now I have an excuse to speed test and see which bands the store units use. I don't expect all CA working but I think I had a bit better reception with my older S8 FD.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
i may have managed to update tkkg1994 csc pack.

for now only with canadian CSC files. i removed all references to other regions. but if it works for other people wishing to switch to a Canadian carrier then maybe adding back other regions could be feasable.

I just got back from Singapore myself where I purchased a SM-N960 F/DS (originally a StarHub phone). In US I am a T-Mobile Customer and of course VoLTE and WiFi calling are disabled. I swear I saw these options available when I was fiddling with the phone back in S'Pore but once I put in the T-Mobile Nano SIM and rebooted, I lost those features. VoLTE button still appears when dragging down from the top menu but pressing it does nothing.

Like everyone else, I am interested in activating the two above-mentioned features. In addition, I would like to solve the T-Mobile connection speed issues as well. I live in Chicago and I muster only about 13 Mbs download and 17 Mbs upload speeds. I know the phone doesn't have band 71 but I do not think Chicago area has it activated anyways. I spent "quality time" with T-Mobile trying to make it work and in the end because I am such a faithful customer for over 10 years and 4 devices, they are sending me a Micro Tower free of charge (no shipping costs either) which will boost the LTE signal inside the house. But I rely on WiFi calling at other people's house, such as my cousin in rural Wisconsin (Milwaukee area, but for Chicago snobs, it is too rural already).

Poking around with Shortcut Master (lite) I know that Wi-Fi calling features are present on the phone, with entries for EUR (Europe ?), VZW (Verizon); ATT and SPRINT. No entries for TMO T-Mobile. I would like to not root the phone (Exynos CPU) because quite honestly I am passed that life stage after rooting LG Gs , Samsung S7s, and Nexus 7 tablets. There are enough features on the phone to disable bloatware (which wasn't overwhelming) and battery life is fantastic. I will be following the thread closely.

I just received the T-Mobile 4G LTE Cell Spot and it is a pig fat pancake. Not super impressed with the technology.

I did verify internet speeds elsewhere on the Lake Front and there I was pulling in a more respectable 48 Mbs download speeds. So definitely the location makes a huge difference. That being said, in the spot where I was getting better 4G reception, I was also getting poor voice reception. Now I think data and voice are on different spectrum but every time I initiated a call, the signal dropped from 4G to 3G to HSPA / H+ and the voice reception was pretty miserable. There has to be a simpler way of turning on VoLTE. Or at least some clearer instructions posted here. The instructions on the first page of this thread are as clear as mud.

So how is this working out for people and what are the steps needed ?

I've been out of the reflashing game for about 3 years and I had no intention of getting back into it had I not been faced with the current limitations. Having these special educational needs, I ask for a gentle hand-holding. I guess one installs TWRP for which root is not needed but an unlocked bootloader is needed. Do these international versions of our phones, specifically N960 F/DS, have an unlocked bootloader or they are just telecom carrier unlocked ? In order to flash TEKHD items above, one needs root, and TWRP correct ? I wish someone could lay it all out, step by step, with links to what is needed. Hopefully TEKHD will also update his pre-release detonator and the instructions relevant to the N9.

I'm about to flash this on my new F/DS. Excited to see if/how it works.

Just a quick FYI to everyone here, when your international Note says "4G" it means LTE. The US has a special classification where H+ can legally be called 4G, so there had to be a distinction here, which is how we got LTE. A few pages back there's someone with 101Mbit/s download. That's simply not possible on a US 4G connection (H+).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zacharee1:
So I flashed the ZIP, and now I have a couple issues.

One, WiFi Calling doesn't work, although it seems like that's known. The second one is that Device Maintenance no longer works. It would crash on launch and now doesn't install after I uninstalled it. It looks like the CSC flash changed the platform signature and now Device Maintenance just doesn't work. This is a problem because I can't enter my battery settings.

EDIT:

Disregard that. Apparently there's a "Smart Manager" now. It's still strange that there's no Device Maintenance in Settings, though, since I see it on another 960F.

EDIT2:

And I found the first thing too. WFC was disabled and the setting was buried.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zacharee1:
Sorry for the spam. It's late and I just got the phone :p

But I did find something interesting. I'm pretty sure it's because Smart Manager needs a "Chinese" device, but I found out that the CSC Feature "CscFeature_Common_ConfigLocalSecurityPolicy" is set to "ChinaNalSecurity" with that flashable. Smart Manager is far too aggressive with its battery management for me, so I wanted to get Device Manager back. I did, but couldn't disable app monitoring because this feature was set. After going through some source code, I found that that property is set under

/system/omc/TMB/others.xml

It may also apply to other carriers. So if you want to get Device Manager back with this flashable, make sure you empty out that XML tag.
