3BRJ5 which is supposed to be a BYOD firmware, Meaning shut phone off and can put a tmobile or any carrier simcard in it and will work for that carrier if have active simcard. As i was told about this and some have tested this.
Not sure the changes.
But I also got and installed mine this morning.
I am on cricket this OTA just killed it for me. Killed Wifi Calling, VOLTE, Message Center Settings all got disabled. You should be Ok if you are on AT&T. I also tested it with a Sprint SIM card and after the restart the bootlogo even changed to Sprint, which I guess is good if you are switching carrier. But it sucks that AT&T can't get its stuff together and fix cricket, since the cricket sim cannot provision carried features!

ATT features work just fine on ATT. If your having a problem with cricket, then contact cricket. Not sure why your blaming ATT......

Hi my dad just got the skyrocket and his network data isn't working (4g,3g,etc..). Wifi and regular phone signal is working just fine but when I turn wifi off, I get no connection. I have tried disabling and enabling packet data and rebooting the phone countless times but still no lock. I haven't messed with the APN though. Any ideas?
P.S. I know a lot about rooting and everything as I have a captivate with a custom rom. However my dads phone is not rooted and I'd rather prefer a method that involves not having to root the phone.
Some good suggestions in the thread below...

Since VZW doesn't appear to be on board with the launch of the Gear S3 tomorrow I am looking to get it on T-Mobile.
Anyone here using an S2 3G on a different carrier than your phone? If so, how's the compatibility? Seamless? Can you receive calls made to the handset on the Gear when you leave the phone at home? Texts, etc?
I know I can connect via Bluetooth when using the devices together. I just want to be able to receive calls and texts made to the S7 when I leave it at home.
Thanks

I want the handset calls and texts to forward to the Gear when I leave the phone at home, i.e. Cycling, working out.
I pretty much want it all to work the way it would if they were on the same carrier. I don't have a problem using Gear data as a stand alone. Just want notifications to go through.
It will connect. Forwarding works, but as but what I've learned is check to see if the gear is using ur phones number or the gears number.

Can I take this into T-Mobile and set up service? If so, anyone know how much?

Im not sure to be honest. The S2 has a, esim?, i think its called. Basically the sim is built into the device. I think that limits the carrier its tied to.

I'm not sure, either, about taking it to T-Mobile. I think you have to have ATT unlock it. Are you the original owner? My understanding it that only the original owner can unlock it. As for the cost of service on T-Mobile, if you don't have a phone on T-Mobile, it's about $19/month for unlimited calls, texts, and 500MB of data on your watch. My Note 4 is on Sprint, my S2 is on T-Mobile. It is a T-Mobile model. I'd go into a T-Mobile store and see what they say. Let us know.

Did you buy your S2 new or even refurbished off of Amazon or something? You might be able to activate it online if this is the case. I went to the T-Mobile store to activate mine, as I was buying it from a guy on Craigslist. I wanted to also make sure I could activate it. That it was paid for and so on. That worked fine in the store. I had already had a T-Mobile account for my original Gear S. When I got home, though, I had trouble connecting my S2 to my Sprint Note 4. I had to do a factory reset on the watch a couple of times to make it work. It was scary at first, because when I went to set it up, the only screen I could get to on my watch was a set up screen. I couldn't get past it. That's when I did the factory reset on the watch. And then reset it some more. Finally I was able to connect it to my Note 4. The original Gear S has a nano SIM card, so you can swap it out. The S2 has an "e-SIM" card. It's sort of hard wired into the watch, I guess. The moral of this long post is, I'd probably go into a T-Mobile store to get it set up on their service. They should also be able to help you get it connected to your phone.

Does Verizon's wearable plan consist of both a cellular and a data component? Or is talk and text only available using VoIP (data)?
I'm curious if there is any functional differences between the SM-G955UZKAATT (AT&T branded) and the SM-G955UZKAXAA the unlocked version. Meaning, if I use the unlocked version on the AT&T network, will I have the same experience as the AT&T branded one? Will wifi calling and VoLTE be available or useable? There's a $200 difference in price and I wasn't aware of why that is. I understand the "bloat" apps won't be loaded on the unlocked version. Other than that?
Thanks for any info folks!
The us unlocked s8 will just rebrand itself to whatever sim you put in there. For example I have the us unlocked one but I put my T-Mobile SIM in there and the phone rebooted to show the wifi calling and volte settings.
No volte and wifi calling. Also no built in visual voicemail.

But you can always use Odin to flash the ATT firmware to the unlocked device. There's plenty of threads here regarding this very subject.
Hello,
Can you guys who have the unlock note 8 and on AT&T network confirm that it does not support LTE?
I saw a review on Best Buy stating that he could not get it to work after numerous call to tech, and AT&T suggested they buy the AT&T version and unlock it.
I just bought the unlock version from Samsung and planning on using it on AT&T, I tether a lot in my car and if LTE is not available I will probably return it.
I am not going to paid almost $1000 for a phone that does not support 4G LTE

Exactly. Weird how it's not working. I had an unlocked version of the S8+ on AT&T which worked on the LTE+ network.
Composed on the Galaxy Note8
I have the factory unlocked version and I have LTE. Make sure when you activate your note they use and new sim.

Well, I am in the same boat as you. I bought unlocked directly from Samsung and put my AT&T sim from my AT&T branded S7 edge in thinking that it will just work. First I didn't even have data so I changed the APN and got data but only H+ speed at best. I did chat online at AT&T and the first time the tech said that I needed a new sim and I can get a free one at a local AT&T store. I reverted the phone back to stock without data connection and went to my local AT&T store. I told the guy there what the tech said and he took my phone and just mucked around with it and got data connection but only H+. He said it is probably the best this phone can do. I am like ??? But I didn't argue with him and left. I again went on chat at AT&T website and the tech did something on her end and eventually open a case for me. I waited 2 days and finally got an email saying that it is the area that I am in and that would be the best signal I will get. Again what the ????. I had LTE all along in the past at the same place, home. So after 2 more days, I again did chat with AT&T and this tech basically said I needed a new sim and he will send one to me for free. So now I am waiting for the new sim and hopefully with the new sim, I can register the sim with my IMEI and get LTE back. You should probably save all this trouble and ask for a new sim to start with. Good luck.

Thanks Xenshen, I think that will be my last resort. You said unlocked verizon variant, what is that? There is unlocked and there is branded unlocked directly from Samsung. My is not even branded. I guess either way works with flashing. Would love to get the direction if you don't mind. I will save it for the last resort after I try a new sim.

all Verizon phones are unlocked without the bootloader being able to be unlocked but if your flashing carrier firmware you can go from any carrier without voiding warranties and messing your phone up. The unlocked one from samsung just comes without the bloatware and from what ive read its still bootloader locked as well because of the snapdragon chipset in it. But if you put the att rom on it you wont have a issue and will get all the features including the lte enhanced services and all
---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 PM ----------
ive flashed 3 different roms on it now so seems to be just like the s8 where all US models are the same minus the carrier oh and i removed most the bloat and just disbaled the apps i wont use
Well all I had to do is put in the sim from my V20, add the NXTGENPHONE APN and it was game on immediately.

I received my phone last week and I was also having LTE problem. At first it was no service, then after some apn configs I was getting H, and H+ speeds. I had talked to multiple ATT reps and most said I would have to wait until they released the phone for it to be seem in there system. Since it was realeased on the 15th and the update came today, I thought it would fix it. It did not so I called ATT again. after about forty mins on the phone and many restarts later we finally got it to work. I now have LTE and LTE+ for ATT on my unlocked SM-n950u1 .

I think he said something along the lines of, " It's permissions were defaulting to 3g," or something similar. He may have also removed my device and re added it. He also mentioned that he was getting permission from a supervisor to make an official report since it seems to not be an isolated incident.
Attached is the post on best buy I was referring to, that's why I was scared since I have already ordered it.
But glad to hear it works and should work just like the locked version for LTE.
Getting the unlocked today, will goto local AT&T store and get a new sim card first thing. I will let you know how it goes.
