FindMyMobile - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

Is your FindMyMobile working? My unlocked phone isn't working. There's a thread on androidcentral that seems to think it's related to a bug in the update Samsung pushed out recently trying to enable off-line location.

On a whim I cleared cache for the "Find Your Mobile" app on my phone and magically it started working within about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Go figure...

WiFi won't disconnect

My TMO One S wont disconnect from whatever wifi network it was connected to. I left my house and drove miles away and it shows still connected yet its obviously not and data doesn't work via the cell tower unless you turn off WiFi completely.
I have the same problem. I talked to tech support at t-mobile and they talked to HTC they had me switch out the phone. That didn't fix the problem. I can say when I wipe the phone the wifi seems to work, but after I install everything and wait a day it stops. I do like the phone and am thinking it is one of my app causing this problem. I bought a second one s for my yesterday I will see if her setup does this as well.

Same issue here. I have left the house and been 15 minutes down the road and my wifi still shows as being connected to my home network. It does not do this all the time, maybe half the time. I can get it to connect to the cell network by toggling airplane mode on and then off.
I have worked out using a wifi analyzer that the wifi seem to lock up when the signal drops off, If I toggle the wifi on and off everything comes back just fine. The phone starts to find wifi signals again. I guess I am going to start uninstalling apps one at a time to try to find out witch one it is but I have over 60 so this is going to take a lot of time. I hope my wife's new phone doesn't have the problem that would make things easier to track down.
I had this problem. Do a factory reset. That'll sort it.

Did a factory reset worked for a day and then started to do it again.
It is a known bug.
Hopefully will be sorted out by the 1.78 firmware update or a later one.
How do you know this is a know bug. This is the first post that I have seen on it on the web not just this site, and t-mobile and HTC said they have not seen it before, I know that could and most likely is BS, but all the same where did you get your info.

I wrote about that to hex Europe and they confirm it to be bug.
Actually, I'm note running the 1.78 firmware with the newest radio and if I'm not mistaken, the issue isn't here...

I am seeing this problem more frequently now. At my office the H1S is on Wifi all day pretty much, then I drive home which is a few miles, and it stills shows connected. Which is annoying as this means the 3G connection is not enabled.
Same here... Also not always and also it didn't happen first day to have phone, but after some days of usage...
I still haven't received the OTA (mine is Orange Spain branded)... Let's hope this has been solved.
Thanks all for letting me not filing alone... XD
bye!
I have noticed the same thing. It's probably a firmware issue as so many people are having it.
Any word on when the update will be rolled out?

I have noticed that after my phone is hooked to the wifi for a few minutes it seem to stop scanning for other networks. I am going to try a WIFI manger and see if that helps. I hate having to turn off and on the wifi after I leave my house.

[Q] Enabling VoLTE

I have a Droid Maxx on Verizon running the latest ota update (23.3.24), rooted, with TWRP installed. I enabled HD Calling (VoLTE) through Verizon's website, but cannot find an option in my phone's settings to enable it as was suggested in some comments I read on other sites. Am I missing something?
It should look like this, under Mobile Network Settings:

I believe that you have to restart the phone after activating the feature on your line.
Yeah once I activated the feature on Verizon wireless I had to turn the phone off for a few mins then back on and it was there,,,a simple reboot doesnt work.

I was on an older software version and used a utility called Sunshine which was created by some of the devs who post in this forum. I just checked their website and it indicates that support for bootloader unlock for Verizon users on 4.4.4 will come in the next update to their utility. There's a $25 fee, but after your bootloader is unlocked, it will likely remain that way through future ota updates. After your bootloader is unlocked, you can install an alternate recovery like TWRP which will auto detect whether you have root upon exiting the recovery and ask if you want to install it or not.
Thanks for the replies everyone. I followed your suggestions, but still don't have an option to enable VoLTE on the device itself.
I left my phone off for 20+ minutes (several times) but the option to enable VoLTE (HD voice) was still not present under mobile network settings after powering on. I also performed a factory reset (no luck), wiped everything in TWRP and reinstalled the 23.3.24 fxz file using RSD Lite (no luck), and disabled and re-enabled HD voice through the Verizon website (still no luck).
Does anyone else have any thoughts or suggestions? I'm at a loss.
I have what may be a dumb question. I have a rooted, unlocked droid maxx on 4.4.4. I would like to get the latest update so that I can enable advanced calling on my phone. Can I download the update somewhere? My phone is set to not download updates automatically. Thanks.
For those who have been using Volte consistently since the update what has been your user experience? I was part of the soak and used it for only a week before disabling it. I found that in areas with weak 4g coverage the call would break up or I would loose the call all together.
My speaker has a crackling sound to it since enabling volte but other than that I haven't had much time with it in rough service areas to tell but I just got back to North Dakota for work so I'll get a crash course in that soon haha

I had the same issue. I found that it was a common occurrence in a weak 4g area. When it was really bad I would cut in and out before finally dropping the call. When I was in a strong 4g area the call was crystal clear.

Seeking advice on updating from 21.11.21. I am unrooted & have OTA disabled with my workaround. So no downside? Just enable or disable voLTE as needed?

There may be other reasons to stick with 21.11.21 but concerns over VoLTE shouldn't be one. Even before you can use VoLTE with the phone you have to get Verizon to enable it on your account either by calling them or your account page on their website. At least I did when it came out and I assume that's still the case. Once it's enabled on your account the option to turn it on/off in the phone should show up in the settings. So if that's the only thing holding you back then I'd say go for it.

What other downsides?
I am hearing about bugs & of course unlock patch that would stop Sunshine if a root method is ever found.

I haven't encountered or heard of any bugs with 23.3.24, really. There's a thread in the other forum about lost features, but other than that and VoLTE I haven't noticed any differences from 21.11.21.
I guess there's always a risk of an root exploit being found and released for an older version after upgrading, but I'm not sure how likely that is to happen at this point. I don't think there's been a whiff of one on 21.11.21 or later. If one does come out it might end up working on 23.3.24 anyway since they are both 4.4.4 based.
With all the changes coming with Lollipop you might have better luck eventually getting an exploit for that version.
So I guess if you are perfectly content with 21.11.21 and aren't interested in VoLTE then there probably isn't much of a reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you do upgrade I speculate that it won't impact your ability to get root/unlocked bootloader down the road if one happens to fall out of the sky. But that's just my opinion.

Google maps and other apps point to wrong location - USA instead of India

Hi..
I was at USA (Topeka KS) 2 years back and I used galaxy S4 phone there... Even after retiring to India last yr I used to get location as Topeka ks some times.. I ignored it.. Thinking it must be an issue in some phone settings..
Recently I got oneplus one.. Even with this phone I am having this issue. When I am indoors and not actually connected to GPS satellites.. I see Google maps or any other app that uses location info getting USA location instead of India.
I tried changing my home and work address to India.. Tried deleting location history and still I am facing this issue.
Could any one please help me fix this.
Thanks

Have you tried going into the APPLICATION MANAGER and finding MAPS (or Google Maps)
Then tapping on that you should have the "CLEAR DATA" button available
Maybe that can help you
Hi @1sagain.... even tried that too. Tried clearing cache and data. Even tried factory resetting my phone.
I guess the issue would be in some profile setting in Google...

Got mine through Carphone Warehouse, bought outright as i'd previously been with EE and got fed up with their lies about upgrading my phone... so after a week of dealing with them, i went 'sod it' and cancelled my EE contract, went out to Carphone Warehouse and bought the phone there.
Currently on a BT contract, 20gb data, unlimited text, unlimited calls, £20 a month for 24 months... perfect for me

So I updated the ROM to the latest version.
Still have the identify unsaved numbers!!!! Yay!!
I was able to test the touch responsive on the new update.
The way I tested, was hold the phone in your left hand normally.
And try and tap a icon in the top right corner.
The palm of my hand would touch the bottom left icon activating it.
Since the update, this touch appears to be ignored now. So a good update with a little less irritation.

Yes I do. I downloaded it from SamMobile. The Samsung Pay app starts up with a little video introduction but it doesn't let you register any cards so it's not active server side yet. It's clear that it will be any day now though.

oh alright.
I got Samsung Pay semi-working on my G930F without flashing any rom. I couldn't access with fingerprint but with a PIN. Same as you, I can't add any cards, it says "failed to connect to server" right after I press the "next" button (the arrow). So I guess it's not even sending a ping to the server.
As a side note: the app in google play still appears not compatible and it doens't detect I have it installed. It's like if I have a whole different version.
UPDATE:
I "tapped" into SP's communication when sending the info of the card that I want to add and this is what it shows in both Samsung Pay and it's framework

It's a Samsung issue. I have the same problem on my S7E but Paypal works well with the fingerprint feature on my LG G5.
This is sillly. Samsung should release several firmwares for G930F and other variants according to carriers. For example a firmware with wifi calling and volte for tmobile US and Samsung Pay.
I think no matter if we have the app running or not. Their servers must be checking a combination of PDA and CSC and maybe more stuff and once the server realizes our phone doesn't match the criteria, it prevents the card registration. I don't know....
Android has always been about mods. We need leas root if they provide a wide enough customization and freedom for their (samsung) devices

Verizon Pixel on Verizon with N2G47E as well though I did the OTA manually rather than wait for it to appear. I do this every month. Have had no issues with the phone.
Much prefer to do updates on my schedule rather than on someone else's in case there is issues with the update.

A couple of things that may help you out on the VoLTE option, including bringing back HD Voice calling and Video Calling. Same thing happened to me on the new build. I went into the the *#*#4636#*#* Phone information menu and ensured that VoLTE Provisioned and other options are turned on. For me I need to decline the HD feature and re-enable...for you probably a call to Verizon. Takes just a few moment to do and didnt have to reboot. Viola' HD Voice and Video Calling were back. Good luck

The only difference between N2G47J and NHG47K is the radio image (modem.img). NHG47K has a newer radio.
Sounds bout right

I never had such problems even with old firmware versions. I know that some people have them, but it looks like these issues are location dependent, so I wouldn't expect updates to fix it.
