AT&T info - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

Hi! I have a Verizon Note 8 Unlocked. When I disconnect the data from the notifications section, I receive a warning to confirm(see attachment). I'd like to know also in the fw AT&T is the same? Thank you very much.

There is a message on my at&t note 8 but it gives an option of not showing it again. Apparently, I haven't used it before.

Great! So to eliminate the problem I can flash The AT&T FW instead of Verizon FW. Good!
Thank you very much

When I have data turned off, though, there's a constant notification in the top status bar saying that it's off, and some services won't work correctly. The notification doesn't go away unless I turn data back on. And I think I read somewhere that it will go away if you restart the phone.
Edit: nope. I just tried it. Data off, reboot... Notification still there.

Okay, better than before anyway. I asked the same question for the other brands (CSC, T-Mobile ...) but no one has answered yet. I hope someone will answer me maybe you can (European models don't have that warning, only old phones)

Rooted, Data widget won't let me turn off 4g now

My buddy rooted my phone tonight, I still have to read up on the whole process, as I'm clueless to most of it.
I tried to download the Data Widget so my battery life won't go down the toilet. Now it says it can't alter data when I try to turn it on. How can this issue be resolved?
Thank you

The best app for turning on/off your data or the radio is "LTE On/Off" from the market.
If you're referring to just your mobile data, it would depend on your ROM. Need the specs.
I was looking for this app to turn on/off only data, but allow phone calls and texting.
Lets see, from what I can gather, and he didn't say much during it, is that I have gingerbread, and I have the omfgb rom currently. Does this help?
Thank you

I'm not on an AOSP ROM. I'm on a Sense based ROM but from what I gather, JuiceDefender would automatically turn off your mobile data when the screen is off.
I don't use it so I can't personally vouch for it but that's what I found via Google.com
Well now I downloaded that app and I think I picked the wrong option and now I can't get 4g, and I deleted the app thinking that would fix it but I'm still not seeing 4g at the top. I'm seeing bars, but not 4g.

You'll have to play with the options.
If you're not seeing 4G, 3G or 1X in the top bar, then your mobile data is off.
You'll be able to receive phone calls/texts but no data.
Well I went to setting and wireless/networks but there is nothing there. Where would I find these settings?

I would not be the expert on that app. Here's the link to the OMFGB thread.
Once you get over 10 posts or so, you can post in there and ask them.
They're the experts on that AOSP ROM.

Thank you, that is much appreciated.
On another note, I was able to find the location in settings and put my "preferred" back to CDMA + lte/evdo (or something like that.) After a reboot, the 4g is back.
I'll still hunt for help on the lte on/off app.
Thanks again

[Q] CM10 Nav buttons flashing on and off??

Hi all I have a Galaxy Blaze 4G on the t-mobile network.
I flashed CM 10 cm-10.0.0-t769.zip and the gapps from this thread.
Every thing seems to work very well but when the phone screen times out and goes black or I hit the power button to turn off the screen the hardware buttons ( Menu Home Back Search ) will flash on and off in 2 second intervals.
Any ideas? have I just not found a setting?
Thanks for reading.
Settings / display / notification light. It is probably flashing because of a notification that needs answering.

You need to flash the newest nightly, the stable isn't stable check the date. 3-10-13 is the latest. Plus the stable is missing a few things like the kill all apps button at the top of the recent apps switch.
I'd also really recommend flashing the updated radio located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171664
I was having some issues with not being able to answer/make calls but this seems to have fixed it. It's an updated radio from what you probably have.

Hah, now that's funny. Truth is I stopped checking on XDA for a while, and never even saw that radio update. That's because I felt like I didn't really have a reason to, CM10 seems to be everything I wanted.
So, that's a kudos, all around?

Unknown icon on status bar

Hi!
I recently got a new icon on my Samsung S7 status bar. The last thing i did was flash a CSC, portugal unbranded. Its related to my mobile data usage. If I enable mobile data it appears, and if i disable it it disappears. Ive also included a little screenshot.
If any of you know a way to disable this icon or what its there for, please let me know! Thanks in advance.

Edge Lighting for notifications not working?

Is anyone else having this problem? I have checked to make sure everything is turned on and it looks fine but I am not getting anything when i get a notification.

I came here looking for the exact same thing. It's been driving me crazy since I got the phone yesterday. It seems to be very random too, like sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. I've also noticed that heads up notifications aren't working. For example, when I get a Facebook message, it used to activate the edge lighting as well as give me a heads up containing a snippet of the message on my S10+, and now all I get is a quick vibration. It's so irritating and tbh, I'm glad it's not just me! Looks to be a bug. ??*
Not sure if you use it or not, but I've always used "Edge lighting fix for all apps" from the play store and also "Edge lighting+" from the Good Lock app. Those two apps have been the perfect combination for my phone until I got the N20U.
Does your edge lighting work with the screen off? Mine seems to, but again it's random. :/
Hi I am using a 3rd-party app aodNotify it works well on note 20 ultra & 10 plus.

Mine isn't working at all. I read on the Samsung forums that it was due to turning off animations in the developer options but I haven't done this.

This works GREAT! and lots of customizations.
Try Edge Lighting Plus in the Samsung Good Lock suite. Assuming they have updated Good Lock for the Note 20 ?
Good Lock is a must for any Galaxy phone regardless, lots of stuff to customise your phone!

Unfortunately this is what i was using and it wasn't working at all for me.
the aodnotify app combined with it did fix the problem....may just be a setting on my phone though.

Yeah, I didn't even have dev options enabled yet so that couldn't be the issue.
I did enable them to double check and animations are all enabled.

I don't think it's a setting. My wife also got the N20U and hers has the same problem. I'm thinking it's a bug in the FW.
I'll give aodNotify a try and see if it fixes mine too. It's driving me crazy!
On a different topic, do you have Facebook installed on your phone? If so, are you getting notifications from it? I've noticed I'm not getting any until I open the app up and then they show up. I disabled battery optimization and made sure it's not being put to sleep, but it's still not working. I also uninstalled/reinstalled and no change.
Very strange behavior.
Works fine for me. One thing to note that by default only 1 application is set to use this (Messages if I remember rightly). Search for 'Edge Lighting' in settings and then select 'Choose Apps' and then toggle which apps you'd like to see this for.

Definitely something to check, I did but still didn't work for me. I noticed your UK flag, you have the exynos version? I ask as maybe it has something to do with the Exynos vs. Snapdragon processor?
@AthieN I don't have Facebook so I can't give any feedback on that.

I think I may have figured it out! I moved my SD card over to the new phone from my old one and in it is an Android folder that was causing something to conflict.
As soon as I moved my stuff over to internal storage (minus the Android directory) and then formatted the SD card, I received a crap load of "pending" notifications (including Facebook lol) and my edge lighting seems to be working again! I then moved everything back to the SD card and rebooted and so far, so good! I'll keep an eye on it to be sure. But if you moved your SD card from your old phone, give this a try and let me know if it fixes your issue too!

Interesting! I put a new SD card into this phone as my previous one was pretty old it's still currently empty.
Your post made me want to try removing aodnotify and see what would happen. So far edge lighting works normally now. Not sure what the app changed but it seems to be working now. Thanks for testing things out with me!

Can you check 'Accessibility' --> 'Visibility enhancement' and then check if 'remove animation' is turned on or off. I had turned it off and the edge lighting stopped working for me. Instead i toggled 'remove animation' off and in 'Advanced setting' selected 'reduce animation. Not sure if you had looked at these already..
PS- i am in UK. So have the exynos variant

Question Change what RCS server messages connects to?

Hi everyone,
As some of you have probably seen if you live here in the USA carriers have moved to use their own RCS servers instead of jibe. The issue is they do not communicate with each other so now I basically send SMS to everyone instead of chat. Does anyone know how to force the messages app to connect to the jibe servers? I have tried uninstalling updates for messages and installing a vanilla version. You get the unskinned messages app which is nice but still tries to connect to att.

Sorry I have been out of this for awhile. Would I just flash the international snapdragon firmware through Odin? Will it trip Knox? No need to do anything else? Still work fine with ATT?

Won't trip Knox. A few things are different. Video Calling is Duo only and visual voicemail is only through the app, no direct link in the phone app. Wifi Calling and everything else works fine. Phone seems quicker and battery lasts longer in my testing.

Thanks for all the help! I use duo only anyway. My battery last all day with room time to spare so if it's even better thats a plus. All this just to not use ATT terrible RCS servers. SMH.
Yep, seems to be the only fix as of now. Maybe AT&T will get their heads out their asses and fix it eventually.

Did you flash the CSC file too? The phone should have been wiped and started fresh. Dirty flashes from U to U1 isn't recommended because it won't overwrite a lot of the stuff.

Hey everyone, I installed the U1 firmware and got the Jibe mobile confirmed and rcs back up with Google Messages from APKmirror but now the color of RCS messages is a weird shade of blue instead of the dark blue I had on my previous phone. is this something i'm doing wrong somehow? Samsung messages drove me crazy with their color scheme and I needed messages back to normal but now the off color is a little upsetting.
I can't find anything on it. Thanks

I figured it out, I ended up uninstalling app and clearing cache and data and reinstalling the apk.
Wait, does the U1 firmware also fix the SIM Card Manager utility to properly select which SIM is used for data, calls, and texts?
It sounds like this is what I need to install.
EDIT: Nope.
