I cant seem to find out. Will the unlocked version work on Sprint. I get a much better deal if I preorder the unlocked version, but I'm on Sprint
The previous ones did, so I don't see why not. It supports Sprint's CDMA bands. That's the one I ordered. Pretty confident that it'll work.

Thanks. I know the OTA updates take longer, but I get more off if I order that one and trade my Note 8. Im only getting the regular Note 10. I feels more like my beloved Note 7's size.
I have an unlocked Note 8 that I use on Sprint. I actually loaded the Sprint firmware to get VoLTE as well. I plan to do the same with the Note 10+.

Sprint firmware? I ordered the base Note 10 unlocked and got a Sprint sim card for it directly from Samsung using their Galaxy forever program. I can trade it every year and basically be paying 1/2 the cost of a new one. It will ship on 9/4. The Note 10+ is just way to big for my small hands. I'll keep my Note 9 as a backup, traded the Note 8, and the Note 9 will be used when I need higher specs. I do like the thinness of the base Note 10 as well. Looking forward to it.

I too ordered the Note 10 as + would be too big When you get your new phone and put in Sprint sim, check to see if you have anything missing, feature wise(WiFi calling, VoLTE). If you don't then you are fine, if you do, then flashing Sprint firmware is an alternative.

Got the unlocked with a Sprint sim from Samsung
Wifi calling and VoLTE seem to be intact. But keeps saying WiFi calling app missing. Radio signal can be weak at times.

Hmm, WiFi calling is built into the system, so there should not be an app needed here. Did you transfer your data, settings from your previous phone? Maybe that device had wifi calling app which got onto your new device and somehow conflicts with the current settings

Yes, initially restored from Samsung backup, then from smart switch. I just wanna make sure I have the best modem firmware. This is the first time in a long time I'm getting 1x or 3G signal where I always got 4G/LTE.

If you flash it to SPR, you would get OTA updates when Sprint pushes it and you will be able to re-flash it to original unlocked firmware or to another carrier. I have T-Mobile firmware on my Note10

U1 is what you have. You need U, if you want SPR firmware. Run SamFirm app on your PC and type in your model as: SM-N970U and for region put: SPR. See if Auto is selected and and on the right side see if Check crs32 and decrypt auto is selected hit check update

Just figured in case anyone is curious regarding VOLTE on AT&T in the US.
To be clear, I have a "Global" variant of this phone. I believe its still technically a Japanese version? But it is an ROG variant and not a Tencent variant.
I am some what experienced with getting VOLTE on ROG Phone 2 as I was able to successfully. The good news is. VOLTE DOES work on AT&T. However, I had to activate it with *#*#3642623344#*#*
It doesn't show an icon on the top right that VoLTE is enabled, however, going into #*#*4636*#*# does show IMS is Registered and VoLTE is Available.
Calling does also sound like VoLTE is working and does stick on 4G during calls.
Cant seem to find the prop in ADB to always enable VOLTE yet, it seems different from ROG Phone 2.
Just thought I'd let anyone who is interested in the ROG Phone 5 and lives in the US.
I found something interesting. I Just followed the instructions that you did. After popping the sim card out and back in after enabling VoLTE the icon shows up in the status bar . I tried a reboot and it doesn't survive a reboot but it's a start in the right direction! Thank you!!!!

New Firmware gives me the VoLTE option on my phone without having to input that code. Update your phone (assuming its on WW Firmware) And you'll be good to go!

You dont have to be rooted for VOLTE to work. With the latest firmware it enables VoLTE without any kind of hack or user interaction. Haven't really gotten 5G to work but that might be due to where I am or I have to contact AT&T for it. but I do get 4G++ which Im guessing is close to 5G?

When I comment it's not release .
So we've established that VoLTE works on this phone with the latest firmware update. Can someone confirm that this means you can get this phone working on Verizon since they are decommissioning their CDMA network and that you'll need VoLTE to stay on the network?

I'm on the I005DC. However, the bands that I am able to use seem to be the US compatible bands as I currently see my phone using Band 12.
Did anyone's RCS break recently? Mine is stuck on "trying to verify".
UPDATE: After looking through logcat via adb, I've come to the conclusion that I've had too many provisioning attempts and am being rate-limited. I'll disable RCS for a week and hope it resets.

Yea that would be cool to have full network support so we can game in the fastest speeds possible. I’m not complaining too much tho. I’m still happy we got VoLTE. I remember the rigamarole from the ROG Phone 2.

Hello !
I purchased a OnePlus 8T EU Version (KB2003).
Since I'm reallly privacy focused, I installed official Lineage 18.1, rooted it with Magisk and enabled signature spoofing.
I managed to make everything work, but it seems like I don't have any 5G Enable setting.
I know my SIM is fine since the 5G works on another phone.
I switched SIM slot just in case.
I set the "NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/GSM/WCDMA" as preferred network and enabled DSS aswell.
I really tried everything I could to enable this, and I read every posts referring to 5G on OP 8T on XDA.
And I used CellMapper to check if I wasn't just a graphhical issue, but it's only connecting to LTE.
So do you know a way to enable my 5G please ?
Thank you in advance to everyone that are willing to help me on that issue !

Are you sure? If you actually have that model number, that's the EU model. If you are in the US, you'll be missing n71 and pretty much unusable n41 due to no CA with anchor bands. (At least with T-Mobile, I don't know the other carriers)

In that case, it should be working. Did you check cellmapper once you started a big download or do a speed test? Cell mapper will show LTE if you are nsa and are not actively using data.

Did you try to modify carrier policy settings?
I have a TMO S22U and basically I immediately flashed to U1. I'm just curious are there any advantages I'm missing out on being on U1 opposed to T-Mobile U? I know there probably aren't many but I'm just curious.
Some say U1 us better. I'm At&t so probably someone on Tmo will chime in. But for me, U1 offered nothing over U. I mean yes no At&t bloat but I can disable what I don't want on U to get the desired affect.
My biggest thing was the T-Mobile splash screen, it sounds SO DUMB but flashing to U1 made it literally 100% Samsung for me I'm just wondering what could have been lol
The only thing I heard, but I am not certain about is that you lose the TMO visual email capability. Otherwise I have not heard anything else. I am on TMO and I kept mine on U. As butchieboy said, I just disable what I do not want. In all reality, there is not much from TMO that is loaded on the system side. More of the bloat is from Samsung and Google.
Thanks for the speedy replies guys much appreciated
One thing I noticed when I did the same thing, was I could not get 5G Ultra Capacity to work. Not certain I was doing anything wrong, just wouldn't work for me.
I think I read somewhere that you do get it, but there is no icon for it in the U1 image. It will show 4G LTE. Check your download speeds.

I did, 2 days apart in the same spot, the icon showed 5G as did the speed test connection type, but the speeds were much slower than 5G UC, almost 400 Mbps difference. Switched the firmware, back to the insane, almost WiFi type speeds.
Did you check the mobile networks setting to make sure 5G is available and selected?

Yes, that was my first thought. It never quite worked the way I should have.
preinstalled crap apps on tmo firmware
The main benefit for me on the unlocked firmware is the built in called id and spam blocking. For att you have to pay extra and tmobile has it on its best plan. But still think it works better than tmobiles implementation. And since i change carriers often i like to always have caller id and spam blocking no matter which one i use.

I downloaded the S980U1UEU1 firmware which on the latest update ends with AVCK. Used Frija to download it
Carrier firmwares usually get updated a week before the u1 series does.

Would've just been a considence. U1 firmware does connect to 5G UC just look at the service menu and it'll confirm if your connected to N41 or not.
But I moved back from u1 to tmv U firmware due to having weird call /sms issues where it would just stop working and only fix was a reboot. Hasn't happened since switching back to U firmware.
Here's an interesting question..
I was on TMO and I bought a S22U from TMO (unlocked it with them afterwards) and of course it was on 5GUC and everything (I used ESIM). I got another sim (Mint Mobile) and when used as primary it would show 5G+
After a while, and just out of spite of the hideous 4G LTE TMO icon I Flashed the U1 firmware.. I'm no longer using TMO as I ported my number to Mint and it has been good.. Would it make sense to return to TMO U firmware or should I stay in U1 as Im no longer using the TMO sim?

Probably fine on U1. You're no longer connecting to anything advantageous besides updates being slightly faster with U.
I'm with T-Mobile, but purchased mine directly from Samsung.. I have the S22 Ultra U1. Since my last phone purchased from T-Mobile A52 5G. biggest change, No daily spam calls or text.. What a difference that makes.. With T-Mobile, their so called Spam blocker was notihng more than a spam attractor. Plus no more of the hidious bloat and splash screen..
I have the unlocked and I dirty flash switch between U and U1 depending on which newest ROM is out. There's absolutely no difference save for the annoying TMOB splash screen and that it says UC ... But from my extensive testing the speeds are the same whether it says 5G on the U1 or 5GUC on the U.
just switched to TMobile. Using esim. Was on Verizon forever, but they got really bad, cut offs, poor service, lost towers with power failures... Then they wouldn't let me use my unlocked phone for full features, always said generic android. Anyway, in my area Tmobile says its 5guc. My indicator only says 5g. Anyone in a 5guc area getting the correct symbol?
yes, T-Mobile, physical sim though.

My previous phone was a Pixel 6 Pro. It showed the 5GUC symbol while I was at home. My new Flip4 just shows 5G. I have no idea if it's labeling or if I only get 5G.
Do some people get the 5GUC symbol?
with the Flip4 & Fold4, T-Mobile purchased devices should see 5GUC. Unlocked devices simply see 5G

Yes, if Ultra Capacity is available you will get it, but whether you are on 5g Extended (5g) or 5gUC the symbol remains the same. Only way to tell is testing internet speed. 5g not that much slower than 5guc, but yea, we all want what we pay for . Just switched to TMobile, was with Verizon since the beginning of cell phones, they have really slipped. I know get 5g in places Verizon barely covers in lte

I use unlocked Samsung devices, live in a 5GUC area and even though it's not showing the UC icon, I'm getting speeds (700+) that are not capable on anything but UC. I'm not concerned one bit.
Small update: The Sept update released yesterday fixes the icon issue, and Unlocked devices now show 5GUC when it's available.
Yep. Mine starting showing up correctly
