[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Furymaker:
Basically, on initial setup of the phone, I had clear calling and enabled it, used it and was super impressed with it as my previous Pixel 6 Pro didn't have it.

After reading of QPR Beta fixing some issues I decided to join in and download it, it had clear calling as well, but issues weren't fixed.

I returned to stable version of android, updated everything and was trying to find clear calling but now it's missing.

Google isn't showing any similar results, search inside settings isn't showing it and I don't see it in previously found spot (Sound and vibrations)

Anyone had similar issue? Can it be region specific or something?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] xdrc45:
It might be a regional issue then, as I have it available on my P8P in the US.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] MrBelter:
It is also a available on my UK P8P
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
I had this before. Try clear cache and data of the play services app and reboot. See if it returns.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Pixel86:
I've had this issue before on my Pixel 7. The only solution that worked was a reflash on the factory image.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Aks:
This mostly is on the server side. When i setup P8P, it wasn't there and appeared after a day. When i reset the phone and setup again, it wasn't there on day 1 but from next day it started showing up.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Gordietm:
I'm in Canada and I have clear calling enabled on my 8 pro, running A14 QPR1 Beta 2.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Furymaker:
thanks for the answers, i forgot to update on the issue.

Basically 10h later, a bunch of updates showed up in playstore for google apps, from contacts, phone to system intelligence, google photos, etc.

After updating all of them, clear calling has showed up, I guess as @Aks said, server issue, 99% of my manual requests to check for updates in play store shows nothing but few hours after just a bunch of them pop up.

Sorry if this is the wrong place, new here and new to Android Auto.

I have installed a ZQ9109 in my Sonata and for the most part have gotten everything to work.

The one thing that has me totally confused is that I can't figure out how to turn the radio off if I turn it on!

I am, for the most part, very happy with the change but the radio issue is causing me much grief!

I would appreciate someone with patience to explain to me what I cannot figure out.

How do you turn off the radio?????

Thanks in advance for the help, it is really appreciated.!

By far, this ROM has solved the "APN not available for this user" issue on the stock Note 8 Android Pie. Now, the APN is available for editing, thus mobile data is useful again. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has been revived. Thanks to the developer for making this masterpiece.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] markdewet:
Good day, First, let me say a BIG thank you to the developers of this ROM, it works wondefully, for the most part. It is fast, and it's great to have Android 13 on a phone I love using.

I do have a few small issues though:

1: Samsung Wallet will not install, as it says it is not compatible with my device I assume that is because it now identifies as a Pixel.

2: Samsung Flow, same issue.

3: Softkey Edge, same issue

So my question is, is there perhaps any file one can easily modify so that the apps pick up that it is in fact an SM-G955F Samsung S8+?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] e_splat:
I don't raccomend to use this rom anymore, since the developer got arrested
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] markdewet:
LOL, OK, I am not going to ask and I have NO idea what the one has to do with the other, however in any case, I have gone back to the stock SM-G955F ROM, as no Samsung apps would work. That is a deal-breaker for me. I also have the same issue on LineageOS 21.

I think most of you know, but nearby share has been changed to quickshare. However, in this version of Pixel ROM, when you try to use nearby share, it tells you to update because the function has changed, but when you press the button, there is no response. Therefore, file sharing is not possible. Will Lineage ROM support this function properly?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Radamantys-N7000:
If you are new to this world of custom roms, I recommend that you read the prerequisites carefully before doing anything. How, for example, to make a complete backup of your data, update your official firmware using Odin, unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery, install a custom rom and root. Read several tutorials in the forum corresponding to your device, if possible the guide part. Then in questions and answers to get an idea of what happens when you do such a thing. Good luck

Following are parts U can search for.

1. How to Root and custom recovery on [device name] this will be the complex thing depending on your device. Watch a video or 2 to understand the process. Twrp is the most updated / default recommended recovery.

1.1 backup backup backup. I normally move all my important files to SD card and then start fiddling with system so if anything goes wrong I can just install the backup and run the device.. I use an app called swift backup due to portability. I can just install the app to my new system and recovery my backed up SMS call logs and applications. This is user dependent.

2. Flashing new rom. This is mostly very easy. It requires flashing 2 zip files in que. (Rom file and gapps file. Some roms like pixel experience come with gapps included in which case it will be mentioned so no need to flash anything else just the ROM file.

3. If Ur using banking apps and want to go for android 14 I suggest wait up because rooted devices sometimes lead to banking apps having issues. There are workaround but which are easy once Ur familiar. Happy flashing. And good luck

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Baghool:
Hi,

I've been frustrated over flashing my phone and not messing up. Basically I bought a used s23 ultra locally here in the US, ishis AT&T Unlocked, I can't use Samsung pay on it (google pay i could witmanually y updateing the security, but I figured my security updates are outdated, and they are from Jan 1 2023, and whenever i request systeupdatete, it checks and says i got the latest firmware which is BS). I reached out to the seller, he said this was an at&t locked and blocked phone that needed imei repair(not sure what that is), so after the repair the firmware should've been flashed, but wasn't, so it's got stuck with at&t and now you need to flash the firmware if you want to update. But he didn't say anything else and has ghosted me for 2 days now. He has good rating though and was nice other than this.

So I want to flash the firmware, and I do use the phone with TMOBILE in USA. Which csc should I use? Can I flash:

1) unlocked USA phone like XAA or XAG (and is there a difference betqeen them if you can explain),

2) or is it better to do a Tmobile flash (my aim is to be able to update it and have all the bandwidths for my carrier, would a tmobile firmware run any better with my tmobile sim, or the factory unlocked firmwares are the best,

3) I also would like to sign up with beta softwares if possible in the future does a specific csc code allow and others?

Will any of these trip Knox or brick my phone or my unlock status. If I knew any of these prior to buying I would have passed on this phone. Anyways sorry I am ignorant, I appreciate it if you could help. Thanks

P.s. is there a way to flash without losing my data? (I don't think so but thought I should ask, I had seen odin option to retain csc, but that was just csc right, and does this phone have to be mot at&t to get updates)

SM-S918U S23 ULTRA/918U1 UNITED STATES FIRMWARE FLASHING

Most of us already know how to flash firmware with Odin. Here, anyone can post available firmware for everyone to use as well as general discussion. U firmware can be flashed on a U1 device and U1 firmware can be flashed on a U device using Odin...

xdaforums.com
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
You have two choices

1. Use Patched Odin to flash TMB U1 firmware.

2. Use Samfw tool to change CSC on your U firmware to TMB.

The ATT U firmware is like that, no OTA if you're not using ATT Sim. Nothing to do with IMEI blocked or blacklisted.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Baghool:
Oh thank you so much. Ok I will do that. Just out of curiosity, if I put an inactive at&t sim card in my phone will it still do the update or it has to be an active at&t?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
That I don't know, you can try before changing your ROM to TMB.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Baghool:
H i flashed TMB U1 firmware with patched Odin. but after it was done, it would noot up to error screen saying:

Cannot load Android system. Your data may be corrupt.

and the only options to continue are "Try again" or "Factory data reset".

reason is {fs_mgr_mount_all:M02RJ}#

Rebooting wouldn't help. so I Reset it. Now shows as an at&t phone again upon booting. Do I still continue with changing CSC?

Did I have to include UserDAta or HME CSC in flashng with patched Odin. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Just change CSC to TMB by inserting your TMB sim, or use Samfw tool if it doesn't work (don't flash firmware again).

It automatically chooses ATT CSC probably because you have ATT SIM in it.

The U and U1 firmware actually have all CSCs of all carriers baked into them. U is for carrier devices, U1 for unlocked devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hoorrus:
So, I had the same issue and got this resolved with the help from the community:

Not getting updates on SM-S918U from ATT

Hi, folks. I tried my best of researching this before I write this post, so thank you in advance for any help you guys can provide. I got a SM-S918U from ATT that I unlocked for use in India. Since then, I have seen updates posted to SamFW but...

xdaforums.com

Here are the steps that I used:

Download latest device's u1 firmware from SamFw or some other place

Enable USB debugging by going to settings > about phone > software info > click build number 7 times and enter your password

Open command prompt on your PC and type adb reboot bootloader

Put the device in download mode

Flash with Odin 3b patched version and select the AP, BL, CP, and CSC file in their corresponding locations

You will need to do a clean wipe, so be sure to use CSC (not Home_CSC). Ignore the USERDATA file.

All the best!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] NippleSauce:
Just a heads up, but if the phone needs an "IMEI repair," it was either previously customized at the software level or was stolen and had its IMEI blacklisted - meaning it won't work on any mobile carrier network unless the IMEI is repaired, aka modified or changed.

I'm not sure how accessible IMEI changes are, but perhaps it's a simple thing with this particular phone. But, I have no knowledge on that topic.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Baghool:
Thanks. I have tmobile sim. But the seller just reach out to me and told me to use XAA firmware, and I just did and it worked finally. But I don't know why the XAA worked, so my phone counts as a factory unlocked? Wil I have all the bands for tmobile?

Thanks everyone for trying to help me.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Change CSC to TMB using Samfw tool for maximum compatibility with Tmobile network.

XAA is US unlocked without any carrier customization, good for overseas only I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Baghool:
Oh ok. Does it really have any benefits as it relates to antenna bands and reception? Or when it's without costumization it has all the bands.

Also my samsung wallet still doesn't work, upon signing it stays on loading screen. I thought it had to do with security patch and software. You have any idea what could solve it? Tried clearing data, uninstalling and everything it's still not working
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
I don't live in the US so no idea, unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hoorrus:
Xaa should also give you all the antenna bands. TMB will just give you access to some tmobile apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SyCoREAPER:
Old thread but I need to address a lot of incorrect or partially correct information.

First, XAA or TMB will have no effect on your network performance while on TMB. The main things TMB adds are RCS through Samsung Messages and access to Scamshield (inferior to the unlocked Scam Blocker) and Tmobile VVM. Your network performance will be identical.

Second, Unlocked may give you more bands by default, I can't verify that right now but bands are hardware limitations and software controlled. Both U and U1 have access to the band menu to enable what you want.

Lastly something worth noting, Unlocked models have been for a long time (always?) getting updates last. Something worth considering.

I have a Z fold 5 that spectrum says they unlocked but it is still locked. They even gave me the 16 digit unlock code and it still says unsuccessful.

Spectrum created a ticket with Samsung with no resolution to date. Any suggestions?

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] Rajajavid:
I am experiencing a similar problem as well. I own a Z Flip 5, and when I tried using a different SIM card, the unlock code prompt did not appear. The spectrum support team has generated a ticket for the repair department, but received the same 16-digit unlock code as I received earlier, it didn‘t seem to work when I enter them using the #7465625*638*# method. It has been over two weeks now, and they are still working on resolving the issue. Any help to resolve this issue will be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] osofast:
I got finally got mine unlocked after 10 days of dealing with Spectrum. The lock code is no good, it must be remotely unlocked. If you're having trouble like I did, you'll first need someone in Tier 3 support to open a ticket...once that ticket is open, wait a specialist to call you. Don't miss that call, as you won't be able to reach them unless they call back. After going back and fourth for 3 days with the specialist, verifying the IMEI number and number of days on the network, I finally got it unlocked yesterday. You'll get a popup message on the phone saying it's unlocked. Good luck...just keep escalating the issue until you reach Tier 3 support!
