If you're not on Verizon, then I don't think you can update that way.

[Q] OTA update after switching carrier to T-mobile

I bought I-317 note 2 from AT&T last year. AT&T unlocked my phone and now I am using it with T-mobile.
My question is, will I still receive OTA update from AT&T if I am not on their network? Or do I need to be on AT&T's network to receive the update?
I can successfully go to Settings > About Device > Check Software Update, it checks for the update and tells me there is no update at this time. I know my phone is at latest version at this time. But will I get OTA update in future when its released as long as I am connected to the internet?
PS: I politely ask you to not give me suggestion/advice to flash another custom ROM. My question is for the stock OTA updates only
You need at&t servers to update therefore you need to be on an at&t network and have the device registered to your at&t account to get ota updates fron at&t

When I click on the "check for updates", it still seems to be connecting to AT&T servers via wifi, even though I am on T-mobile network.
what makes you think its connecting to an ATT server?

How to enable video calling on unlocked SM-N910A On T-Mobile network

I am using unlocked SM-N910A On T-Mobile network. I am trying to enable video calling on Phone app. I checked setting under Phone app but did not find anything.
I also noticed that when I go to Settings -> More Settings - I see first 'Network or Sim card error' popup with ok button and after that other options (i.e caller id, call forwarding,auto redial etc) are loaded on screen.
Any input will be great if this can be done or limitation.

Settings -> Connections- > Mobile networks - > Mobile Data -> "Enhanced 4G LTE services" is checked.

I'm on ATT using the same phone, and I don't think ATT supports video calling on their phones. I don't know for certain, but my last 4 phones were all ATT and none of them had native video calling. I always had to use apps like Tango. I could just be in the same boat as you and just don't know how to activate the feature or something.

To: spexwood,
Thank you for reply.
I also noticed there is no wifi calling option. there is also "sim card or Network error" while setting forward calling.
Based on following links,it seems it is a limitation

5.1.1 is the latest version, but the only way to OTA is to use an ATT sim card. You can Odin the files though.
I recommend updating just because 5.1.1 is much stabler, but I don't think it'll help you. I'm on 5.1.1 and as I said, I can't find any way to use video calling.

I can't answer any of the last 3 questions, but can the first few.
OTA (Over The Air update) is not possible without having an ATT sim and being connected to the ATT network.
With a different sim, the phone will ALWAYS say that no update is available and that your phone is up to date when it isn't.
Kies will act similar as to not having an ATT sim. ATT doesn't upload their updates to Kies.
The only way for you to update would be:
1) borrow someone's ATT sim card and use it to connect to the ATT network
2) go to a Best Buy with a Samsung Experience area and ask them to update your phone. They'll do it for FREE and it doesn't matter where you got your phone. You do need to tell them that you're using the ATT phone on a different network. This will male sure they flash the correct firmware and not brick your phone.
3) Use the latest Odin file to update your phone yourself. This is basically what they'll do at Best Buy, except that you'll be solely responsible for the outcomes of your phone. The Odin files are posted in the ATT Note 4 General thread. Just do a search for Odin.

Since you aren't on Verizon's network you can't take OTA updates. But you can flash with Odin
Use the original sim if you have it.
I had the same problem because I was using a nextplus go sim card. Luckily I had my original sim that came with the phone. I just swapped it back in and updated over wifi from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1. It worked perfectly.

S20 will not flash out of Sprint

Hi everyone, I need some assistance, again, in flashing my S20 Ultra 5G SM-G988U1 . So, I switched from Sprint to AT&T. The phone is unlocked, but when I flash, it shows successful, but then the Brand in my settings show Sprint and the Service Provider Software version shows Sprint. See attachments.
I've tried the following, flashed the updated U1 software from Sam mobile website using Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD, it showed it passes, but then it still showed Sprint. So, then I tried using Odin3.14 and still it showed Sprint. I even tried flashing the AT&T update. The issues I'm experiencing is that it does not allow me to access vmail and it's always saying that the Activation is not complete, internal error 407. In addition, it will drop calls frequently.
So, any help will be greatly appreciated.
