I suspect most people did not switch the settings from FHD on the S7 and on to QHD in display settings. Most people won't notice the difference. The screen is great on the note 10
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
Still, original definition of Note series was over the top best hardware around with everything except kitchen sink, not budget phone with premium price. Note series was one the first phablets on the market, one of the first with 4k video recording etc. So instead of saying like we used to " I didn't know Note had humidity sensor , heart/o2 monitors, IR blaster or 4k video recording" now you say " I didn't know there is no notification LED, no phone jack, no heart monitor" , kind of very dissapointing if you ask me, at least they kept s-pen :)
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] AdrisA:
I've been experiencing a weird issue where my Pixel 3a would get stuck in a boot loop until I force reboot it once or twice, then it would boot up normally. Today, however, I had to force shut it down 5 times until it booted up normally. How would I go about fixing this? I would prefer not to wipe my phone but I'm willing to do so if there is no other solution. My phone is rooted with Magisk installed.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] stranger234:
I encountered the same issue, fixed it by using twrp as a custom recovery.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] stranger234:
Encountered the same problem again. I reflashed twrp (boot into twrp temporarily and then install twrp from this running instance of twrp) and right after that flashed the magisk26.1.zip from within twrp. Encountered same issue. After boot, I opened magisk as app and reinstalled with the "direct install (recommended)" rebotet, and did the "direct install (recommended)" again. -> This seemded to have fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] DesperateScorpion:
In a dilemma and hoping to get the answer from like minded and knowledgeable folks.

So I am trading in my S10+ for the Note 10+. Samsung is offering $600 off when trading the S10+ for an unlocked Note 10+ or $450 for a T-Mobile locked Note 10+. This is on top off the $200 they are giving for accessories. Obviously the $600 discount is pretty attractive.

Since I've never purchased an unlocked phone and used it on T-Mobile, what I would like to know from you guys is if there is a difference between Samsung unlocked vs. T-Mobile locked phones. I'm asking because I know Samsung has unified the hardware and software on all of the flagship devices for a couple of years now on all carriers. so truly what will I be really missing if I bought an unlocked Note 10 and use a T-Mobile SIM card on it?

Appreciate the help everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] djbutter:
I have the unlocked note9 on T-Mobile. I haven't noticed anything missing. The only downside is that the unlocked variants get software updates last.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] blaksmyth:
The only difference is the update speeds, unlocked is usually last. I have an unlocked Samsung on T-mobile with no problems at all. All the T-mobile apps are on the play store so you can just download the ones you want. Don't sweat it, get that bigger discount.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
TMO:

- Carrier apps

- Video Calling

- RCS

UNL:

- Hiya

- All Bands from U version + VoLTE + Vowifi on TMO

- Facebook suite

- Regular boot screen

- Last for updates (usually)

- No SIM lock

I used a U1 N8 and S10+ on T-Mobile in the past. Nothing of note is lost when unlocked models are used on T-Mobile. On others carrier you may lose VoLTE or Vowifi.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] datnikajay:
So when you order the unlocked version from the us do you still get the snapdragon version or exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] antawnm26:
So you get RCS and video calling?Different people say different things when it comes to unlocked phones on Tmobile as to what they get to work vs Tmobile variant
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
The us sold unlocked versions are snap dragons and you can flash any firmware you please from a carrier if you're so inclined.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] datnikajay:
Thanks Jack I guess I'll have to wait want to order the note 10+ but I need the exynos version ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] antawnm26:
So what is the definitive answer as to what works and doesn't work with the unlocked version?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Cosmo100292:
Pretty much nothing to worry about nowadays. In the past you'd have to make sure you got the correct Bands for whichever carrier you were using but now theyre all the same. Just know that with an Unlocked version youll get slower updates but there are ways around that as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] antawnm26:
So your saying that wifi calling/RCS/Video Calling/visual voice mail works with unlocked version?

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

So your wifi calling video calling RCS and visual voice mail is working?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] blaksmyth:
Wifi calling works fine, video calling works fine, i use Google duo and messenger, visual voicemail works. Rcs is the only thing that I am unsure of.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Cosmo100292:
Google is taking over RCS shortly so you should be set!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
Initially I wanted to order T-Mobile variant of Note10(thought I won't have to flash the firmware), but I saw that the trade in offer is lower than for unlocked model. So I pre-ordered an Unlocked Note10 because of $600 for my S10e. I guess flashing firmware is unavoidable, same as was with S10e and others before it.

Regular person won't see any issues using unlocked model on T-Mobile. If you need T-Mobile's feature, then flashing T-Mobile firmware will give you: Video Calling, Advanced Messaging, will show 4G LTE(instead of just LTE/LTE+), T-Mobile boot logo and some T-Mo apps. You can always go back to XAA firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] antawnm26:
something i was thinking the $600 for the unlocked version.. Im still uncertain though because different people say different things as to what they can get to work with Tmobile with the unlocked version, but I think i will get the unlocked one hopefully Google get their stuff together with RCS and just take control...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
I listed what functions on unlocked variants. Nothing changed with the N10 in terms of TMobile compatibility. Like the S10s and most unlocked phones, carrier features aren't present.

Firmware conversion can bring them back as others mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] antawnm26:
must of missed it i will go back and check thread
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
I tried the phone, TMobile is fine on the unlocked model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
What I have wrote in my previous message is 100% correct and I have noticed that some other people wrote similar stuff. Basically even if you won't flash your unlocked Note 10 phone, you won't have any issues or any incompatibility using the phone on T-Mobile. I am with T-Mobile since 2003 and have seen more than enough phones to know for sure. If not buying T-Mobile branded phone would pose any issues or problems, believe me I would certainly get T-Mobile version :)

I most likely will flash Note 10 if I would have the urge to have some of aforementioned T-Mo features(I do usually flash though)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] antawnm26:
Well, I ordered the unlocked aura white hope its smooth sailing with all of tmobile options
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
I ordered Note 10 Aura Glow :). You most likely won't have T-Mobile features, that were named previously unless Samsung has changed their firmware(highly unlikely).

1) Video calling only works if device has that feature. I tested it using my S10e(flashed to T-Mobile) and on other end was another T-Mo branded phone.

2) Advanced messaging only works on devices having this, so T-Mobile branded to T-Mobile works for sure.

3) 4G LTE sign in the status bar

4) Also T-Mobile version usually got the regular monthly updates about a week before the unlocked version, but that isn't that long of a wait anyway.

Other than these items, out unlocked models will have.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Samzebian:
A few of these have some caveats,

I had an unlocked Note9 and now an unlocked S10+.

1. I could never see video calling on my unlocked phones. Not a huge loss since I never used the feature, but I am not sure how you got this to work.

2. With google messenger RCS should be baked into the app soon, not sure if this is the case yet, but it will mean RCS won't depend on carriers

3. Yea you get the standard LTE logo, I think the carrier LTE symbols can be ugly depending on carrier (looking at you AT&T) but tmobile's looks fine

4. I am still on the may security update on my S10+ 1TB, unlocked. My wife's Tmo S10+ has more recent updates than this, and I have been months behind thanks to being on unlocked...

This time I personally ordered a TMO device, but only because of their financing options I prefer. Otherwise I wouldn't mind another unlocked device, either way it's really not much different.

I am more annoyed they only make the 512gb in black, I want color options too! Ordered white and went 256gb instead...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] DesperateScorpion:
Ordered the unlocked blue aura based on everything I read here and expecting it around August 23rd. The $600 off vs. $450 was hard to ignore. Also when it's time for trading this one in in a year or two, fairly certain the trade in price will be the same regardless of the lock status.

So read you can flash the TMobile firmware to get all the carrier based features and it will still remain unlocked. Also that you won't get over the air update like a T-Mobile phone, but will have to Odin it after someone uploads it. If that is the case, why not download the security updates and install it? Another question is, do you have to be in T-Mobile firmware to install the security updates? Another way to put it, can I Odin the security updates from T-Mobile even if I am on the unlocked firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] kangi26:
There is no real "Carrier Specific" firmware now. They are all the same image and contain all of the different carrier features. What defines what features are actually installed is the SIM you have installed (and it must be activated on a specific network). If you ODIN a carrier firmware, and have a TMO SIM, you will then get the TMO features and should also receive TMO OTA's
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Samzebian:
Wow this is interesting, does this apply to carrier phones only or includes the unlocked model? Also, did this start with the S10?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] karunattu:
Exynos version has no warranty in USA. I am not sure with wi-fi calling and LTE in unlocked phones. I had issues with note 8 unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] kangi26:
I can't say if it started with a specific device but, I think it started around the S9/N9-ish

It's the USERDATA file that contains the carrier specific stuff which is why you don't see the USERDATA file in U1 Odin firmware downloads
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
You get all the OTA update if you flash T-Mobile firmware, so no issues there.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

1) If you use T-Mobile sim on unlocked model, you won't see video calling, unless you flash T-MO firmware. To be honest this all video calling isn't really a thing as you need a device and usually carrier branded phone to be able to use it. I personally tested video call from T-MO to T-MO using my firmware flashed S10e(others before that too) to a another Samsung/LG phone(T-MO branded)

2) The Advanced Messaging is pretty much the same as item #1 above and works only on specific devices.

3) Personal preference, but I hear you :)

4) Right, the unlocked might be a bit behind although I have seen reports from users that unlocked S10 models got July update with night mode and QR code in the camera app. With T-Mobile, the update still didn't show up. Something like that rarely happens with T-Mobile, but this time it has

256GB should be plenty for most people. Hope our phones that we pre-ordered are good as we would be first ones to get them. Just don't want a device that went through bad quality control as happens at times to initial badges.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] DesperateScorpion:
Interesting. I also read during my search (I believe in the S9+ thread) that if you install the Sim card before starting the phone, it will load all the carrier specific files automatically. If that's the case, you should get all this features automatically. I do use the video call a lot right now with T-Mobile. It was convenient that I didn't have to stop the voice call and start another app to start a video call. I could convert voice call to video easily right now. Not really a deal breaker, definitely not $150 worth. That's why I got the unlocked phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
To some point, it is true, if you install the sim card of the carrier, the phone will automatically get CSC code of that carrier and basic settings, such as APN, VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling. Other carrier specific items are not automatically there and require carrier's firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] jcrompton:
And [MENTION=4788488]Charkatak[/MENTION]

Weird on that with newer Pixel devices all that is needed is there when you setup with a particular carrier SIM. Seems like I remember that with my Note 9 the stuff that was needed for Wifi Calling on ATT was missing,,, not sure about TMO

Anyway, I ordered the Unlocked and I have access to TMO or ATT ( probably would prefer ATT just because of coverage in my area) but really need WFC to work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
In the last 3 or more years, I don't remember having issues with main T-Mobile features such as WFC, Band 12 and VoLTE working on unlocked Samsung devices. With T-Mobile it was/is easier for many unlocked models(different brands) to have WiFi calling working, but with ATT people reported that it wouldn't work and to make it work, some workaround was needed + possibly customer service agent would be involved to make it work, IMEI manipulation and so on :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] globalexpresspilot:
I am in the USA. I had a T Mobile Note 8, all I ever noticed was the boot screen with their pink logo, and the preloaded apps.

Then I had the unlocked Note 9, no T Mobile boot logo of course, but other than the apps, I noticed no difference until I went overseas and had some cell signal problems. Called T Mobile and they remotely triggered the phone connect to different towers. Still not sure if it was the country I was in, that already had notoriously bad cell and wifi all over the island, or the phone, or both.

Just ordered the T Mo Note 10+, didn't want to risk not having correct bands, etc. Saw no real downside to the branded phone other than resale value to people who might not be sure of the band compatibility.

What is this Video Calling feature you guys are mentioning? Who would you call? Other Samsung phone users? Isn't everyone using Skype of FaceTime or WhatsApp for video these days?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
Curious, what problems overseas? I ask because I bought unlocked and regularly go out of the country with the phone. Was it finding the right provider? Speed? Do tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] globalexpresspilot:
It was Nassau, Bahamas. No service or terribly slow service. I am thinking it wasn't the phone, but what confused me was when I got the iPhone XS (with the supposedly inferior cell performance to the Note 9) the signal issues in Bahamas were improved.

I would wait for the 5g variant which will hopefully come with the new modem from Qualcomm (x55) which will give you a better data experiance and lower pwr consumption.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] jcrompton:
If this really true? Is there any reason that the 5g model would somehow have better reception? I haven't heard this before!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
This Video Calling isn't really practical if you ask me. It mostly works on devices that support this. For example if I have T-Mobile branded phone and another person has the T-Mo branded device as well(Samsung, LG...), then it will work. If one has T-Mobile branded phone and the other person has exactly the same phone, but unlocked variant, then it won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] jcrompton:
Yeah kinda useless .... Esp with Google duo

Even my kids who are iPhone users can talk/video chat to me on Google Duo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] aplusmiami:
Voice reception no.. data for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] DesperateScorpion:
On T-Mobile variant phones (new ones) have the video call built into the dialer itself. You can see a video icon in the dialer.

Not heavily relied upon and also requires both devices to be capable and on T-Mobile LTE for it to work. The usefulness is also very subjective to begin with. Everyone who is used to duo, Skype or Whatsapp wouldn't even care about it.

For me, I still use the standard call over any other services for voice calls. I feel like the call quality is much better this way because of the bands used. Calls still go through and delivere clearly even when there is not LTE coverage. With younglings at home, it's much easier to switch to a video call with this feature without losing a bit. No disconnect or lost communications or disappointments when you need to switch to video. Like I said, very subjective.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] DesperateScorpion:
T-Mobile 5G to become mainstream. This is at least an year or two out, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] aplusmiami:
It's in limited markets. But that will expand greatly once they merge with Sprint. My point was waiting for the 5G variant because it will have a better modem then even the none 5G versions that are out there + will consume less power.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] aplusmiami:
T-Mobile turned on a bunch of sites on Dec 6th - I picked up my phone today and got 5G in and around Miami. In Doral it dropped back to 4G. The phone has the latest modem from qualcom x55.

[G4] RockDJ20:
Hi all,

Got a problem that I can't seem to find any suggestions on how to fix here on the forums.

My i-mate Jamin's wireless doesn't automatically detect wireless networks, and even when I specify the configuration manually, it won't connect either. So, there is no detection of wireless (the wifi does turn on alright), and the 'wifi on' tower icon appears, but doesn't try and search or connect.

I was starting to think this was a 100% hardware problem, but I found that if I try and create an ad-hoc network with my Jamin, other devices can see it. However, when actually trying to connect to the ad-hoc network, the Jamin still keeps trying to connect unsuccessfully.

This problem existed on WM5 (my original rom) and has still been the same on all WM6.1 roms I've used (ShadoW, iProphet etc).

Any suggestions on a software angle, or what to look for in terms of 'broken' hardware if I were to pull the device apart?

Cheers
[G4] Zero|Cool:
try to update the ROM and the SPL, but be carefull
[G4] RockDJ20:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I've done both. I've got the HardSPL on my device, and I've got CloudyFa's WM 6.1 rom (and as I mentioned, I've tried about 3 other WM6 and WM6.1 roms too)..still no luck though.

It does, however, come up with the signal strength icon (like it can almost see the network) if you try and manually configure a network you know exists (eg my home network). It doesn't manage to connect to it though - just comes back and says 'unavailable'.
[G4] Zero|Cool:
check if it is encrypted with WPA2. I think that version of cloudyfa is not compatible with that kind of encryption.
[G4] RockDJ20:
Definitely is only WPA here at home. Tried disabling it to no encryption, and likewise it doesn't work at my university (WPA) or at public wifi hotspots (no encryptions) or if you use WEP either. I've tried every setting on my router - and like I've mentioned, tried it in various other locations and routers...

Definitely something wrong with my device..but who knows what it is
[G4] l3v5y:
Try updating the radio ROM.

[G4] thycpt737:
same problem here...never found a solution....
[G4] l3v5y:
Try a WM5 official ROM with a different Radio ROM.
[G4] RockDJ20:
Any suggestions as to the best version? I've upgraded from the base one to 2.20.21.

Also, how does the main memory go during this update (can't remember from last time I did it) - does it get erased / should I back things up?

Thanks
[G4] l3v5y:
Main memory should be fine, nothing is wiped.

As to the best version, I'd suggest trying a few, personally, I think 2.19.21 is the best, but that may just be me and my Prophet...
[G4] RockDJ20:
Yep, main memory was fine. I've upgraded to the latest radio rom on that page, but still no luck.

So I've tried that one, your one was my original one (2.19.21) and my last one (2.20.21). Doesn't seem like it's a fix unfortunately.. :(

Thanks for the help all the same. Anything else I could try?
