[Q] SM-910A on Cricket.

Hey guys I just got the note 4 after having the note 2 for a while so I have a few questions.
I bought my phone from swappa and just popped my CRICKET SIM in with no problems after putting in APN. My only problems are that I cannot set-up call guarding because it says there is a network/SIM error. Any ideas?
The second is that mobile hotspot says there is a temporary error when starting up. Is this because it cannot technically register on AT&T network to work? Ore week I have to use a stock rooted ROM with hotspot for SM-910A (or other compatible ROMS)
What do you guys think, should I just call AT&T (figuring you guys would know more since those people usually don't know what a ROM even is)
As far as I know the phone is network locked but when I try to put unlock request in through AT&T they cannot find my IMEI. Phone is clean ESN since SWAPPA does check before any sale is made.
I also tried both APN settings that have aiowireless or cricket wireless in fields.

call fowarding working good for me just a reminder Cricket Wireless does not provide hotspot.

Cricket has nothing to do with hotspot if its already available. Technically if ATT unlocks phone it should work. Like I did with my note 2.
Are you in the same scenario as me, cricket behind your provider and att model?

I understand what are you saying. If you unlock your ATT Phone hotspot not going to work because hotspot only work if you have a ATT rooted phone or a ATT Custom ROM but in this phone its going to be different between note 2 and note 4. note 2 have the bootloader unlocked while ATT note 4 have the bootloader locked thats why its going to be more hard to obtain hotspot in note 4 on Cricket Wireless.

UPDATE: I called ATT and they said if I get the phone unlocked I can do va factory reset and then I will get hotspot unlocked. Apparently my imei is fine and they can check it but the website doesn't work.

I have cricket wireless and have an ATT Note 4 with Hot spot Working. Cricket only allows for certaint devices to use hotspot. And they are all phones that come from Cricket. The only phone they allow that is BYOD (bring your own device - from another carrier [att]) is the iPhones. What I did to get this working was I knew a friend that had the Cricket LG Stylus which is hotspot Compatible. We went to cricket and swapped out IMEIs in the system saying we we're switching phones and wanted it in the system not to just swap simcards in the phones.. When they did this I asked them to enable hotspot on my account and they we're able to enable it. Before they did not have the option because the box was grey out and showed i had a BYOD device. When we left we swapped Simscards back into our phones. Its been working for Two Months no Issues. I use hotspot for my Tablet all the time. Why Cricket does not allow BYOD to use the hotspot feature I will never know. Probably a ploy to get people to purchase their devices but it's Bull**** considering that it works just fine.
NOTE: Upgrade your data or anything you want to to do to your account before you do this as the system will pick up your BYOD phone in the system after a certaint time, hotspot will Continue to work unless their are changes on the account. If you make a change it will disable hotspotwe (showing you have a BYOD) and you will need to go to cricket again with a friend or your cricket phone that is hotspot Compatible and tell them to swap IMEIs and re-enable hot spot. Again. (I had to do this.)

Here's a list of the phones from cricket that are hot spot enabled. https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup...tspot/customer/hotspot-compatible-phones.html

I always thought root was required since I get the attached notification.

Once you've done this you can also swap the sim into another device and hotspot will still work fine. I move my sim between my Att Note4 and my Att Blackberry Classic every other day.

This will continue to happen until you get hotspot enabled on your cricket account.

Also did you swap sims or imeis? Or both? I'm asking because I always thought swapping sims also swaps phone number
sent from my SM-N910A

Your phone number is embedded into your simcard.
We went to the store and the representative put the IMEI of my friends Cricket LG Stylo on my Account (connected to my phone #). And Vise Versa. (My AttNote 4 IMEI on her account connected to her phone number). They swapped the Sims when they did the IMEI change because we told them we we're changing phones. but when we left we just immediately swapped phones back when we got to her car.

You do not have to switch sims but the reps will want to because they will want to be sure each phone is working with the accounts they put them on when they get done..

Understood I misunderstood you. I don't know anyone that has cricket but I'm wondering if I can buy a cheap one from list for like$30-50 online. And then ask for swap and do what you did.

Yea you could do that just be sure the phone is not still on their account.

So how'd it go

[Q] Is Sprint Galaxy S6 domestic SIM unlockable?

According to Sprint unlock policy, it says "For domestic SIM unlockable devices launched after February 2015, Sprint will automatically unlock the device when it becomes eligible." Does anyone know if Sprint Galaxy S6 phones are domestic SIM unlockable?
Thanks,
RJ

I'd like to know as well... and maybe a more pertinent question, does it even have a sim slot on sprint?

Yes. Just got mine today. And does have sim card.

can it be used with a AT&T or T-Mobile SIM card?
Did you try to use a SIM card from a different carrier to see if it worked or not?

I have not as I do not have any others to try.

If we pay full price for it will the phone be unlocked? I have simple mobile so I need an unlocked version and I couldn't figur out how to get it from t mobile that way. Also Verizon is unlocked but seems like Verizon messed with the software ruining some things so I'd rather avoid them.

Typically the best way to get an "Unlocked" version is straight through the manufacturer or looking for a g920F on amazon. The phones sold by carriers are specifically designed for their networks, so compatibility may not be what you need. Usually the Factory Unlocked variants (Model Fs) have more radios in them and are compatible with more networks.

This app first of all only unlocks it for overseas so if you're trying to unlock it domestically you're beat. I already got the apps online and unlocked it for overseas and its pretty useless domestically. Sprint will unlock it but make sure they do it right. It isn't the msl that does nothing to unlock your phone. TRust me I worked for them before

Another Success
I put in an order with idone, and he successfully domestic unlocked my phone. It Works

I got data and text working on a sm-g920r7 which is very close to the Sprint model but calls still don't work, any advice?

Yep, they have to unlock your device once your contract is up.

Sprint phones are SIM unlock able, I got mine unlocked from sprint as the contract was up and I moved to another provider.
Also, for those who have their SIM's unlocked, you will need the MSL to actually get non-sprint LTE working on your phone. You can get that from sprint or you need to root your phone to get the MSL (search threads here on XDA, I cannot post links yet).
Once you have MSL, you need to go into sprint data programming to enable to the LTE bands for the phone to get non-sprint LTE, i had to search a lot before I could get it working:
key in ##DATA# on your dialpad
click on EDIT, type in your MSL
Go to LTE, band priority, make 2, 5, 15 as your first three bands, the rest can be anything
disable the sprint bands band 25, band 26, band 41 by clicking on each of those options under LTE and uncheck the enable box
Now go back
Choose eHRPD and and disable it, phone should automatically reboot and you have AT&T LTE bands available to you
Link for the above video can be found on youtube by searching for Spring galaxy S7 enable lte bands (can't post link as I don't have rights yet)

Definitive list of differences between carrier locked and unlocked variants

Can someone help in this arena would be good to know the difference. Sammy is giving $600 trade-in on my Note 9 if I go to unlocked or I can get the same with Bestbuy carrier locked to ATT. Why I would like to go Samsung route is that it would give me time to move all my 2FA.
So if anyone has a list of carrier difference and issues pleas let me know

They are the same phones and can run the same firmware.

You can actually just go research any of this in the Galaxy S8, Note 8, Galaxy S9, Note 9, or Galaxy S10 forums. They all work the same way.
Same hardware across each of the variants, but the software and the carrier will determine which features work. If you're on ATT and you want WiFi calling and VoLTE, you'll need to buy an ATT device. They check your IMEI and if it isn't on their whitelist, those features won't work, even if you flash the ATT firmware.
All the other carriers you can just flash their carrier firmware.
T-Mobile is the easiest. The only thing that won't work on TMO with unlocked firmware is video calling and RCS texting. WiFi calling and VoLTE work right out of the box.

That is what i figured searched the forums a bit but needed something concise appreciate the info!!

I am using ATT prepaid and I bought the S10 plus last year. I flashed it with the ATT firmware and I got wifi calling working. I plan to do the same for my Note 10 plus.

Cool! Someone just said that doesn't work on ATT anymore, because they now strictly check your IMEI. I use TMO so I didn't do anymore research, just figured ATT changed their system.

I have been using it just fine. I will do it on my Note 10 plus and report back my result.

Well there you go, OP. I guess flashing ATT firmware to your unlocked device still works to activate carrier features. Everything else I said is still accurate.

So right now ATT wifi calling doesn't work with Note 10 Plus but it does work for S10 Plus (and previous models). I am pretty sure this is because the Note 10 is still very new and their system needs some update. I will wait a couple weeks and see what happens.
I called ATT. They told me Note 10 is not on their list yet.

Wow thanks so everything works when flashing the firmware that's great. My wife and I use thr video calling this is great news.

If you flash carrier firmware to the unlocked phone, don't you basically just end up with a carrier phone? If the answer is yes, then what's the point of buying the unlocked phone?

So interestingly, there's another thread and people who are flashing ATT firmware to the unlocked version can no longer get WFC to work. They said it works for a few minutes if they give ATT an old IMEI number, but the system will automatically update to the new IMEI and WFC will no longer work. Read page four of the thread to see what I'm talking about.

There's a few reasons:
1. This year the Note 9 is worth $600 towards an unlocked model, but only $300 towards carrier models.
2. The U1 models generally maintain their value a little better than the carrier branded models. Even though it's the same exact device, that little "1" makes a difference for some reason.
3. It's factory unlocked. T-Mo, Sprint, ATT, and now Verizon all come carrier locked. Verizon stays locked for 60 days then automatically unlocks. T-Mo you have to pay it off, or pay cash up front, then wait 40 days with it active on your account before it can be unlocked. ATT again has to be paid off or paid in full up front and then you have to request an unkock and wait for the code. I believe Sprint automatically unlocks it once it's paid off.
4. I've heard conflicting stories, but at least in the past, Sprint was weird about their BYOD program. You could only bring devices with whitelisted IMEIs. That was Sprint devices and factory unlocked devices. If you just got your ATT Galaxy S8+ unlocked and brought it to Sprint, it wouldn't activate, even though it was the same exact device hardwarewise. The IMEI wasn't in their database. So the Unlocked version is more flexible.
5. That ugly ATT box. For some reason ATT will often take the phone out of the nice Samsung box and throw it in a cheap ATT box. See the USA Pre-order thread on here. There's already people complaining about that box. And I'm a packaging guy.
So you might as well get the device that's cheaper up front and holds it's value the best and is the most flexible carrier wise. If you want carrier features and firmware, you can still have them, and no worries ever about a SIM lock. Well except with ATT apparently. If you need ATT WiFi calling and VoLTE, you may be stuck getting the ATT model, from what I'm reading.
Now that said, if you don't have a trade in device, and your carrier is offering a better deal on their model...then by all means get that one.

Resurrecting and old thread rather than starting a new one.
I'm on T-Mobile and looking at either an unlocked Note 10+ which is $200 off right now from Samsung and Amazon or the Note 10+ 5G from T-Mobile. I know this is a bit of an apples to oranges thing, but what I'm wondering about is data roaming. I've heard, but have not been able to confirm is that an unlocked model will not data roam on partner networks, while a T-Mobile version will data roam. I do know that my current phone, an unlocked Essential PH-1 does not data roam, but is this true for all factory unlocked vs. carrier phones? Or at least T-Mobile phones?

T-Mobile customer here. I had an unlocked S7 Edge that would roam just fine on partner networks, in the US and internationally. Haven't had the opportunity to test roaming yet with my brand new unlocked Note 10+ but I suspect my results would be the same as with my S7 Edge.

Unlocked, Dual-SIM Note 10+ - No Data on AT&T SIM

So - this is my 1st Dual-SIM phone, and I'm very happy to get away from having to carry 2 different phones (personal on T-Mobile; work on AT&T - in the USA). I thought that everything had been working correctly - until I was away from my Wi-Fi signal. If I have SIM1 selected for data (T-Mobile), everything is fine. If I select SIM2 - I get nothing. It always shows 3G for AT&T even though I'm in a very strong 4G area for AT&T.
I've been through the Access Point Names settings for AT&T and they matched what I found on AT&T's web site. I even duplicated them with a new name to make sure that they were correct - still nothing. I've played around with which slot the SIM card was in as well as only installing one at a time (just AT&T in SIM1, just AT&T in SIM2, etc.) rebooting the phone each time - still no luck.
Hoping for an assist or "things to try" from the community as I don't expect much help from AT&T on an unlocked phones. Any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks!

Welcome to the DS family. Does SIM card manager show 4G/3G/2G enabled for both SIM's? On my older Note 8 4G wasn't supported simultaneously so you had to manually switch the 2nd SIM to 4G but on my Note 10+ this limitation doesn't exist but still worth checking.

That would've been too easy. Do you observe the same behavior if you swap the SIM card positions? Also what if you put in just the AT&T SIM by itself (i.e. does it ever get 4G in either slot)?

I've tried both slots with just the AT&T SIM - never get data and never anything but 3G. Strange thing is calls and texts go through...

Hmm, that sounds like it's missing an LTE band it needs to get 4G with AT&T. I don't have an AT&T SIM hand to test with but for the non-US Samsung phones don't have full support for the frequency bands US carriers use (I'm assuming you have an intl phone so correct if wrong.).

I have the dual SIM and get LTE on ATT. I reckon you need to contact ATT and tell them you are using a note 10+ and need LTE enabled.

Spent 2 hours on the phone with them last night. They had me set up the Access Point names over & over - no luck. They suggested I buy an AT&T branded phone. Big help...

I once came from another device to another device and had the wrong kind of sim for 4G/LTE. Or maybe the sim is damaged, or it's just registered wrong.
So: try Hard reset the device AND get a replacement sim card from ATT (can get them at the store and don't let them sucker you into paying for it). Perhaps that will do it.

Came across the post below - I do have an old AT&T SIM card (6 or 7 years?). Looks like an Android 9 update at some point caused issues with older AT&T SIM cards. I'm heading out to get a new SIM from AT&T tonight... Thanks for the attempts at helping - I'll update tonight and let you know how it goes. May be in for a fight - it's a corporate phone and I'm not authorized on the account...

So - I was able to get it working. I had been using the same SIM card for 6+ years. However, getting a new one didn't fix the issue.
They said that the IMEI number wasn't coming up as a valid number. I had a One Plus 7 Pro laying around, so I had them register the new SIM card to that phone, and it magically started working (the old Sim didn't work in it, either). After getting that working, I just moved the SIM to the Note 10+, and haven't had any issues, since.

Thanks what was the exact model number of your phone?
I guess it's time for me to sell my TMobile one and get the international one. I use the Samsung Pay / Cashback and Shop Samsung app from their set

Did you notice any signal degradation on T-Mobile with maybe lack of bands?
Lastly where did you buy yours from? If it was eBay what was the seller name?
Thanks

Flashing unlocked US firmware on verizon note 10 to carrier unlock

Can i flash unlocked US firmware on verizon note 10? I am using the phone outside the US and whenever i insert a sim card it works for a few moments and then the change carrier notification pops up. I think the phone modem is unlocked and it has something to do with the software.
The notification comes from the dialer app.
Please help.

I had the same issue after buying a supposedly "unlocked" Verizon N10+ Even after flashing the U1 (unbranded) firmware I still got the same message you did. The phone is locked to Verizon. I believe that after 60 days the lock comes off (assuming the phone isn't blacklisted)

Verizon phones used to be unlocked from day 1. They recently just started the 60 day rule before it's unlocked... Within the last 2 months

It would seem that the phone is locked to verizon for 60 days. I imagine you need to have a valid verizon sim card inserted and active on a line for the 60 days. The unlocking is supposed to be automatic.
For reference here is the policy from Verizon:
https://www.verizon.com/about/consumer-safety/device-unlocking-policy
If anything I would call verizon and double check with them to confirm the above is true, and the phone qualifies for that 60 day unlock.
But to answer the question you should be able too. So long as your doing something like flashing the N975U with the N975U1 firmware.
Also flashing the U1 firmware will not have any impact with carrier/network unlocking. The term "unlocked firmware" infers the firmware is from the phone bought from Samsung. The U1 model from samsung is carrier unlocked and has no carrier bloat.

I know that the flashing a different rom doesn't really sim unlock the phone.But in this case the sim actually works for a breif amount of time untill a software notification which comes from the dialer app pops up and blocks it.
Isn't there a chance that flashing a bloat free snapdragon rom might actually do the trick?

If its blacklisted in verizon and I want to use it outside the us. Is unlocking the device gonna make other sim work, just not verizon or any us sim correct?

If the phone is blacklisted it is either reported as lost/stolen, an unreturned insurance claim or was financed but never paid off fully..
Don't think xda allows this line of discussion on the forum because of the potential liability for theft of service/device.

Wanting to get the one UI 2.0 beta but didn't know if it was possible.

My phone was blacklisted and they changed the imei number. It is now unlocked to all carriers but I can't sell it back to T-Mobile or Samsung because it is not the original imei

I had my n976v imei # changed. Because the person I bought it from blacklisted It. It now works on all networks but I can't sell it to T-Mobile or Samsung etc. Only privately. Which is fine because I'm keeping the phone anyway

officerstyles bypassing the blacklist that phone is presently on is borderline fraud and/or theft of service.
The blacklist exists for a reason and not a trivial one either. If the phone landed on that blacklist it did so for a very good reason (i.e. It was financed but not paid off, stolen/lost, an insurance claim that wasn't returned, etc).

I contacted Verizon a few times and they say that phone is unlocked yet the notification still appears. How much did it cost to change the imei?

SO, not to hijack this thread, but the topic/title fits what I am trying to do. My VZW Note 10 + is passed the 60 days, an is "unlocked". I flashed the unlocked U1 firmware, and have a ATT/Firstnet sim in it, and it is working fine. I can't seem the get it to change like my note 9. On my 10+, even with the ATT/Firstnet sim, it shows (VZW/VZW/VZW), where on my note 9 it shows (ATT/ATT/VZW).
Can I get my note 10+ to show ATT? I also had to change my voicemail number manually to work for ATT.
Thanks for any info and assistance.

Did you take the sim card out, flash it with U1 firmware (using the csc_*** and not the home_csc), perform a factory data reset after successful flashing and then put your sim card in (and allow the restart to apply settings change for the sim card)?
That's the process I followed before and it worked. If I skipped a step it ended up with things not working like they should be.

Ok. So flash U1, then let boot up. Should reset in software or in the recovery menu? Then after reset, go through setup with sim during boot?

*Flash u1 and let it boot up after successfully flashing
*Go through setup, skip all as many options you can until done
*Factory data reset the phone (not in the recovery menu)
*After phone is done with FDR set it back up again
*once setup is done put your sim card in and let it restart
This is pretty much what I did
