Problèm 4G+ in France with SM-N9860. - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

Bonjour à tous, voici mon problème, je suis en France et j'ai acquis un Galaxy Note 20 ultra 5g SM-N9860 via un import depuis Hong Kong. Mon problème est que je n'ai jamais de 4G+ (the VolTE works perfectly) Je reste toujours sur 4G (sans le +) En même temps j'ai un Note 10+ et avec le même opérateur la 4G + est constamment présente. Savez-vous quel pourrait être un problème avec mon Note 20 Ultra importé pour capturer la 4G + alors qu'il a théoriquement les bonnes bandes pour les opérateurs français? Merci pour votre réponse.

Do you know what could be a problem with my Note 20 Ultra imported to capture 4G + when it theoretically has the right bands for French operators? Thank you for your reply.

In the UK I find the same problem. It can be fixed by making adjustments in the service menus, but a new firmware update will break those changes.
The changes I made are described in this discussion....
[Guide] Service Mode and CSC Guide/Enable LTE/5G Bands and Services/5G Low Band on U1
Hello All, Many people have asked about service mode and CSC related questions and I thought we should get a discussion going that is all in one place. *DISCLAIMER* I do not take any responsibility for any issues that may occur from changing...

Unfortunately I do not know exactly which changes are necessary just for 4G+. I made all the changes recommended, including the 5G and others. I did not do anything regarding CSC.

Thanks, and has this worked for you?

You have to use google phone from google play!
Must type in google phone the secret code: *#*#27663368378#*#*
Then go to...
Code:
[2] UE SETTING & INFO
[1] SETTING [1] PROTOCOL
[1]AS
[2] RELEASE VERSION
[3] LTE 3GPP REL/CA CONTROL
[2] lnput Subscription ID 1 or 2 - depends of the sim slot you want to be activated- sim1 or sim2
REBOOT!
Here you go...You will have the carrier aggregation activated!

Au Royaume-Uni, je trouve le même problème. Il peut être corrigé en effectuant des ajustements dans les menus de service, mais une nouvelle mise à jour du micrologiciel annulera ces changements.
Les modifications que j'ai apportées sont décrites dans cette discussion ...

Yes, it works once the changes are applied.
Interestingly (now that my memory is refreshed) the change I made is different from the change suggested by manager77. Maybe that works too, but my change, from the discussion I linked earlier, is to enable CA, as shown below....
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I tried to do as instructed by Manager77 but after the fifth step I get "input Subscription ID 1 or 2" instead of [2] LTE 3GPP REL 10. I tried several times but couldn't manage to do this ...

I am not certain, but I think the 1 and 2 refer to the SIM slots. From the menu at top right you need to pick the "Input" option and then enter 1 or 2 for the slot you wish to change. Repeat the process for the other slot if required.

merci Tdodd, c'était l'erreur, j'ai pu sélectionner la dernière étape, j'ai donc suivi les instructions de Manager77 mais malheureusement je n'ai toujours pas de 4G + seulement 4G. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi. J'espère trouver une solution car ce téléphone fonctionne parfaitement en dehors de cette 4G + même VoLTE est affiché ... C'est se cogner la tête contre un mur ...

Did you reboot? Maybe you need to select CA enable as I have done. 4G+ definitely is working for me.

Oui j'ai redémarré, avant le changement c'était comme le vôtre: activer CA
Translation: Yes I restarted, before the change it was like yours: activate CA

Well I also made changes to other settings as described in the thread I linked above. I do not claim to understand the changes, but maybe something else needs to be adjusted.

merci pour votre aide Tdodd, je continue à chercher ce qui ne va pas et pourquoi cette 4G + ne veut pas fonctionner dans l'espoir de trouver la solution à ce problème.
Translation: Thanks for your help Tdodd, I keep looking for what's wrong and why this 4G + won't work in the hope of finding the solution to this problem.

Okay, I have restarted the manipulation of Manager77 and there is still no 4G +. It’s really a puzzle

Do you also encounter that 4G+ falls back to 4G quite frequently more often when no data usage happens....
i have 4G+ somewhere but not at the places where i had it on exynos...any idea?

If the signal is marginal then it will flicker back and forth. I would say that if the signal is stable then so is my type of connection. Nothing of concern for me.

May I ask if this will factory reset the device?

No it does not reset the phone, in my case this manipulation did not change anything, I still do not have 4G + only 4G.

Just tried it lol works for me. Didn't even know about 4g+ but now I see + mark on my 4g.
Got some higher speeds too when I'm testing or is it just me?
I just picked "input" and then entered number 1. Rebooted the phone and bam.

Strange is that in places where I had 4G+ on exynos model i have only 4G on snapdragon...even though its full signal

Until I got the N9860 I never paid much attention to the type of signal, but my 5G explorations made me more aware of 4G/4G+. I was also reviewing my network provider to see who would provide the best coverage for my needs. To do this I downloaded an app from the Play Store called nPerf and this allowed me to create maps of signal type and coverage as I travelled.
Here is a sample of aggregated data for my area for the EE network. There is a lot of 4G+, especially in town, but also in the countryside where I walk the dog. 5G is lacking here, which is why I do not care that it does not work with this phone and my network.

Hi Christophe!
Does the Rom come with english or german language support?
This firmware support there folowing langages :
- German
- English
- Spanish
- French
- Italian
- Dutch
I have only test french an English Langage ... the only langages i can understand
Can new write down all the changes in this build in english?
Google translates it this way:
- Updated kernel by the one proposed by JesusFreke
- Possibility to use the device as a Bluetooth Modem (add Bluetooth PAN profile)
- Increased maximum sound level of the device
- Network configuration included Orange and SFR (No Bouygues because they fail to validate a configuration that works well)
- The "Root" home for those who wish to exploit fully Android
- Preparation for future versions (possible to put applications on memory card for example)
- Added some "essential tools"
or for you:
- Aggiornamento del kernel da quello proposto da JesusFreke
- Possibilità di utilizzare il dispositivo come un modem Bluetooth (PAN Bluetooth aggiungere profilo)
- Aumento massimo livello sonoro del dispositivo
- Configurazione di rete incluso Orange e SFR (n. Bouygues perché non riescono a convalidare una configurazione che funziona bene)
- Il "Root" casa per coloro che desiderano sfruttare appieno Android
- Preparazione per le future versioni (possibile mettere le applicazioni su memory card, per esempio)
- Aggiunto alcuni "strumenti essenziali"
Nice ROM. Thanks.
i already posted about that at your forum. increased maximum volume fix reduces low frequencies, so some music sound pretty crappy. besides that rom is good
This build has fixed the microphone low volume in call?
I haven't anderstoon if this firmware is an official release by HTC or it is a modded rom.
Thanks
Hi, this rom supports apps2sd?

What bad noise ???
If you want you can use normal sound level by typing these commands :
Code:
cd /system/etc
cat audio/AudioFilter.sfr > AudioFilter.csv
cat audio/AudioPara4.sfr > AudioPara4.csv
cat audio/AudioPara_VODA-SFR.sfr > AudioPara_VODA-SFR.csv

Did you know that the bad noise is depending on the language you are speaking? French ROMs have a different audio setting because it "fits" better to their language. These audio settings will not work for "Germanic" language speaking people, we would classify it as being bad noise...

Sony Ericsson WT19i Bricked, Help?

Bought the phone three weeks ago, it was locked to 3 so i used wotanserver to unlock the phone to all other networks..
Any ways, for the best week or so i have been prompted with a update notification, so i'd plug the phone into my computer, run the update through pc companion but it would stop half way and prompt "servers busy" type message..
Last night the phone again prompted for update but this time via WiFi connection. So i clicked Agree and left it to its own devices..
And now i'm stuck with a Bricked phone, It wont switch on, no led's when plugged in, computer wont even recognise it
Only thing i can presume is the Wotanserver unlocking has corrupted the OS which has in tern done the same to my OS on update
Unfortunately, running OTA updates on a phone that's been tampered with (software wise that is) can result in owning a very expensive paper weight.
If you hand in the phone to a service center you will most likely be charged for the repair.
My best suggestion is to either hope for one of the experts here on this forum to see this thread or for you to look for other threads that already deals with similar issues.
I know I've seen a similar thread about bricked phones after trying to install OTA updates when the boot loader was unlocked. Pretty sure it was here on XDA but I cannot find it.

Bonjour auriez vous une solution pour mon wt19i qui reste bloquer sur la fenêtre de deverouillage écran afin d’accéder au menu du Smartphone depuis que j'ai voulu installer ceci

[Q] Settings application Update v4.0.2213332163.350357

As the title says this is about the Settings application Update v4.0.2213332163.350357 that's being pushed as an OTA update. So far it looks like a bug fix patch for ICS, but it also seems to be being pushed to Sensations still on GB.
After having read a couple posts on various forums and threads it seems to download and successfully install on ICS. If you're on GB it's still being pushed as an update, it'll download but fail to install, which wouldn't be surprising if you're running the wrong version of Android for it to patch.
I'd like to confirm that this is indeed the case. If you've received this OTA please respond by saying:
Which version of Android is currently on your device
Did this update installed successfully for you.
If it did install successfully please list any changes you've noticed since installing it, like the now world famous Aeroplan spelling mistake.
In my case:
unrooted S-ON Sensation, firmware 1.50.401.1
update unsuccessful
I'm on ICS , everything is stock , update successful.
UPDATE: It seems they fixed aeroplan and small letter personal storage spelling, still no fix for Develop option and I have no idea what was that wifi fix never had any issues
Same here stock ICS update worked fine
Can see device administrator settings now on 4.0.3 which wasn't there before!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
Update successful on my sensation. Stock ICS.
Update succesfull. Stock ICS 3.32.401.5, rooted, EXT4 recovery.

You might be unsuccesful because you have skipped a previous update.
One such could be the Twitter update, if you don't update that, you will not get the ICS update.

I haven't skipped any updates, twitter or otherwise. Also according to the Play Store all my installed applications are currently up to date. A final but important detail is that I should not be getting an ICS update because I do not have ICS, not because an app or setting that this update fixes is not up to date on my GB phone.

Aeroplan is subtly different from the British English Aeroplane, you may notice the missing e at the end.

Par exemple, en lisant un e-mail, vous pouvez glisser à gauche ou à droite pour rejoindre le message ancienne ou plus récente.

Yes, I have that too! I didn't notice. Do you have Daylight Saving Time in Germany now? Because we have it here, and thus an explanation can be that the Weather app is not making use of the DST flag.
What is the most effective way of letting Samsung developers know about this?
P.S.: What if.... the app is trying to make us believe it is looking into the future? After all, it's a forecast! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Yes, we have Daylight Saving Time in Germany since 2 weeks. Maybe that's the problem.
So we will probably have to look into the future for half a year . Because I do not think - from my experience - Samsung will correct that because firmware development for GearS2 is out
Tout s'est bien passé depuis la mise à jour. Les applications fonctionnent toutes pour les notifications aussi.
Merci à Samsung pour cette mise à jour de la S2.
Il ne manque plus qu'un peu plus d'applications utiles et enfin à nouveau le Nike Running fonctionnel avec la nouvelle version sur Android. Parce que S Health est pas mal mais pas au niveau de ce que propose Nike Running. Il paraît que Nike serait dessus, alors on attend, encore...
Moderator Edit:
You must comply with Forum Rule 4 regarding using English or a full translation...
Everything has gone well since the update. The applications all work for notifications as well.
Thanks to Samsung for this update of the S2.
It lacks more than a few more useful applications and finally again the Nike Running functional with the new version on Android. Because S Health is not bad but not at the level of what Nike offers Running. It seems that Nike will be on it, so we wait, again .
Hi.
Please my Gear S2 classic is locked to the start screen. I can start it to the Usb mode but not to wifi mode.

Bonjour
Jai ma gear S2 qui est verrouillee juste au niveau du démarrage. Je sais pas cmt faire pour la refaire marcher. Elle affiche Custom Update locked by reactivation lock.
Je sais pas quoi faire pour la redémarrer
Pouvez-vous m'aider ?
Il faut la réinstaller avec le même compte Samsung que celui qui l'a verrouillé.

You must install again the watch on a phone with the original Samsung account used when the watch watch locked.
In this movie, you can see the problem
https://youtu.be/El3w8_Rz5HE
I from Viet Nam but I can't see any update.
I have problems
I installed this update and now my watch keeps showing only the "tags" of the variables instead of the data.
In example. Instead of showing my calendar events, it shows: "WDS_CLD_NPBODY_NO_EVENTS_TODAY_ABB"
Has anyone this problem too? How could i solve it? I tried synchronizing it again. But it keeps showing that errors.
Terrible, even off my Gear S2 unloads the battery, samsung corrects this urgent ¬¬

Exactly, I am also from Brazil, and after this update the battery is discharging fast, and unloads even leaving the clock off, it seems of purpose, for owner to think that the clock is getting old and force the purchase of a new one.
Just now receiving this in the U.S. (Texas).
Got the update this morning in South Carolina. Battery drain seems normal to me.
I have received the update as well and have experienced abnormal battery drain. I used to get a full day off the battery now I'm struggling to make it to a half of day. Samsung please fix quick!
Just got it now. US, Verizon variant.

I'm from Brazil and I can't install the update. There is a fail every time a try. Is there anyone facing the same problem?

How to root Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s Enterprise Edition (SM-G398F)

Hey there,
is there a way to root a Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s (SM-G398F)?
The phone is from June 2019 and runs Android 9.0.
I haven't found anything on the forum.
Here's a link to the Samsung website:
https://www.samsung.com/de/smartphones/galaxy-xcover-4s-g398-enterprise-edition/SM-G398FZKDE28/
Thanks in advance,
Paddy
I'm wondering the same thing. I tried to follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/root-recovery-root-device-magisk-t3779454
but my phone is not recognized by odin or fastboot, so I can't flash the patched boot image.
I have also recently acquired a Samsung SM-G398F.
Need root for an FM Radio app.
Doesn't seem to have one by default (have opened a ticket with Samsung support, the Exynos 7885 should support one).
Otherwise a really perfect machine.
dual sim, and a microSD slot.
Fast charging, contrary to whats on sammobile.
Will help if asked.
edit : I would have the French version :
SM-G398FZKDXEF
https://www.samsung.com/fr/business/smartphones/galaxy-xcover-4s-g398/sm-g398fzkdxef/
Not sure if there would be any difference.
Just got off the Phone with Samsung Support.
Basically "Demand has greatly reduced for this product (FM Radio) so we are not proposing it anymore."
I didn't stay on the phone for long because it was someone with a very strong Asian accent, and i couldn't understand her very well, and she sure couldn't understand me properly, so I gave up even asking anything.
They just said to download an app from the App store....
They DID propose to use an older Samsung phone, seeing as their older phones have FM functional
Really need root now, or i'll be carrying my old phone around with me everywhere just for the radio...(and I hope it will actually work after all this).
OK, so, no stock images seem to be available yet, or anything else for that matter.
i'm just trying to get a stock backup image made, so if anything goes wrong, I can flash back.
Just in case anyone is interested, this is the info from the Recovery Mode :
Samsung/xcoverseea/xcover4s
9/PPR1.180610.011/G398FNXXU1ASF5
I have done this before, but only when Roms were available.
Is it possible to flash TWRP or CWM without having rooted the phone yet ? (It would seem its possible with ADB mode).
Is there a generic TWRP/CWM that i can flash, or do I have to have a specific custom version of TWRP/CWM ?
Cheers

Weird. I bought my Xcover 4S in Sweden, and it has a working FM radio. I would have expected EU phones to be identical apart from the language preset.

Hi, did you have the FM Radio app installed by default, or did you have to add it ?
I don't have the FM App installed at all, and when I install NextRadio, it says it can't find it.

It was already installed. Looks like it is neither part of the Play Store nor the Galaxy Store, but going by the name and icon it seems to be this one... argh, I cannot post URLs yet. Google "Samsung Radio apkmirror", should be the first link. Specifically, I have version 10.0.00.52 installed.

I just reset my phone back to factory defaults, to check.
in the "Samsung" Folder in the app drawer, I have Telephone, Messages, Voice recorder, and My Files.
I have no Radio App...
Which version of the 4s do you have, I mean the full name ?
edit : In The Software updates for the Phone i have these versions installed :
G398FNXXU1ASF5/G398FNOXM1ASF5/G398FNXXU1ASF2
Security Update 1st May 2019.
---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------
I'm wondering if it's a difference between the "Enterprise Edition" and the Standard Edition....
I'm pretty sure I have the Exynos 7885 version (1.6GHz A53 cores) (there may be a 7884B version, with 1.35GHz A53 cores).
The board is called "Universal7885" in CPU-Z, which would be the same, or similar, to the Samsung A8+ boards I think ?
Edit : I found a Stock Rom apparently here, at samfrew.com
https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__XCover__4s__/mOac/FTM/G398FNXXU1ASG2/G398FNOGC1ASF2/
Is Samfrew an OK site to download a stock Rom from ?
edit2 : Did a search for the ASG2 Rom, and found that it may have been called Xcover 5 at some point.
https://samdb.org/firmware/pda/G398FNXXU1ASG2/
I much prefer getting this Rom from SamDB...

The model number according to Settings/About Phone is SM-G398FN. That is rather short, where do I get the full number? According to the spec page on the shop where I got it it is SM-G398FZKDE31, but I'd rather get this from the phone.
The software updates are:
G398FNXXU1ASH1 / G398FNOXM1ASH1 /
G398FNXXU1ASH1
Security patch level: 1 August 2019
(Yes, 1st and 3rd are the same, not sure what's up with that).

I think the box said Enterprise Edition on mine, but I am travelling right now, so I cannot check. Any place in the phone where I should be able to see this?

Yes, i saw some of the other roms seem to be ASH1.
Strange that my version seemed stuck on May 1st security update, when others are on 1st August...
Proper link than the one from before, to all the Xcover 4s/5 roms :
https://samdb.org/model/SM-G398FN/
i'm downloading a couple of them at the moment.
the Greek European version (EUR at the beginning of the filename) and the Dutch one (PHN).
They both seem to be "Black Editions" whatever that is...
Will try flashing them to my phone tomorrow, and see if it works or bricks...

I don't have the box in front of me to check.
its just I saw that people were talking about two different versions apparently, a Standard version (Black Edition?) and the Enterprise version.
the Enterprise version will have updates for longer (2 or 4 years was quoted wherever I read it) and stuff like that apparently.
Frankly, if I can get this working fine non-rooted, i may just buy another one to root and get a custom rom up and going, so when the updates run out, it will still work form many years to come.
Waterproof, DualSim+mSD, replaceable battery, IPS (PLS) 720p screen, 3.5mm jack....whats there not to like ?
edit : Just for info, "Orange" is a Service provider in France, on on their website, they state that it has no working FM Radio.
Maybe its just a French thing ? (I bought mine from a webshop).

Indeed, this kind of phone is becoming very rare. I was actually on the verge of buying a Motorola LEX L11 (a "police phone"), as it also has those features, but its cost is prohibitive if you have no use for its special radio connectivity, and the phone functionality is actually inferior in several ways. So I was really happy when the 4S appeared at a fraction of the price.
Well, just flashed the Dutch version, PHN-G398FNXXU1ASH1_G398FNOXM1ASH1-20190806 and still no FM Radio.
beginning to think its not possible to activate it....
Going to try Greek next, and then Swedish after that, seeing as we have one confirmed Swedish phone with it functioning...

Sérieux, tu n'as trouvé que la Rom Australienne !!
Tu as choisi quoi comme Région ? Il ne me trouve rien dans SamFirm, ni NEE, ni EEA, ni XSA..... ?
Tu n'as pas eu de soucis pour l'activation du téléphone avec une Sim Europeene ?
je te remercie, je vais faire l'essai.
Translation of the Original post :
"Hi, I'm French, and i had the same problem as you. I installed the Australian Rom G398FNXXU1ASH1_CL16564893_QB25260991_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar.md5, and then miraculously got the FM Radio back."
Having just tried the Greek Rom, and it seemingly getting stuck on the "Samsung" Boot screen, i went back and flashed the Dutch PHN Rom, mainly just to check if i'd bricked something.
That flashed fine.
Will try the NEE version tomorrow, and then the Australian version

J'ai pas reussi avec SamFirm, mais il ne me trouve rien.
C'est peut-être le réseau du boulot qui bloques.
Je suis en train de le choper de samsung-firmware.org, mais à 115Ko/s
étrangement, la Rom Australienne est plus petite que les autres...2.9Go contre 3.3Go...

The Australian Rom worked fine.
It started out with Vietnamese language by default, but worked.
FM Radio is back, and working very well
Going to check for a week or so, to make sure everything is fine.

Have you noticed whether the audio gets any louder than with an EU ROM? I have already disabled the high volume warning using the trick with the QuickShortcutMaker app, but I wonder if there is also some lower absolute volume limit in the EU firmware, similar to how it is in EU iPhones.
