Ok so I have an unlocked samsung galaxy s22 ultra from optimum mobile, its a u1. I still have not received my one ui 5 update and really want to just get it already and have a tmobile sim I can use to update but am worried I won't get future updates through optimum mobile. Will I have to use the tmobile sim for any future updates or after I update to one ui 5 will I continue to receive updates through my optimum sim?
If you put your TMB SIM, your phone will ask you to restart to switch to TMB CSC. Then you can get the update. Once you put your Optimium SIM back in, it will again ask you to restart to switch to your new carrier's CSC. It won't be TMB anymore, so you won't get TMB updates. You'll get Optimum updates when your Optimum SIM is plugged in. You won't have to use TMB for future updates, as long as Optimum is actually releasing updates, you will get Optimum firmware updates.

Ok so when I update with the tmobile sim it'll be like getting the update through optimum basically when I pop my opt sim back in. It's just a workaround basically your saying.

Just to check out the latest features and also phone is so much faster and smoother and battery life has been fantastic! Not a big change in UI but there are some changes that are great. Phone feels a lot more like I want it to now for some reason and even more perfect than before

I would think it might stop when it gets to the part about needing to configure for a carrier. Are you downloading a carrier (ATT, etc) based update?

I download the automaticly update i dont know what is it exactly.
I bought it from china and i live in Greece. Maybe this is the problem
Tomorrow i will put a sim and i will update the thread.
Thanks for the fast reply
It's most likely a Hong Kong model if you bought it from China, but you might still need to have a SIM inserted for it to carry through with the update.

Not Working with SIM inside
I just tried the update with SIM on but the same....
Any solution?
Same issue!
I have the same phone and when updating the software 10 days ago had the same issue. I have tried everything - including the factory reset suggested by HTC - and the phone will now only go as far as the beats audio splash screen. It hangs there forever, generating vast amounts of heat and nothing else!
After a very snotty email to customer services, I have been offered a free check - even though the phone's just out of warranty - if I spend 80RM to send it to Kuala Lumpur?!
If it gets resolved, I'll let you know...but I'm not holding my breath... I seem to have a ery expensive light-up paper weight now...
I live in Sri Lanka. I was able to get an unlocked AT&T G4 (H810) from USA and have used it for a few days now. I have realised that there is no option to change network modes. There is only the 4G mode on my G4 and its killing the battery. Tried changing my sim, updating the software etc. but no luck. Any method to fix this?

The AT&T software blocks it

So rooting it and installing a different firmware version (most probably h810pr) is the only option?

Yes, but you dont root to install a different firmware version. Also its NOT recommended to do so unless you soft brick, as some its bricked there devices.

Yeah I've heard it's risky.. I'll just buy a battery bank.. pretty cheap over here
THANKS!
I believe the reason why you are unable to turn off just LTE is because the US versions do not have separate 3G/CDMA + LTE radios. They are all in one now. Unlike older models where you could disable the LTE/4G radio and just use 3G only. I do not think this is possible now.
Plus Carriers prefer you to use their 4G networks because it is cheaper and frees up the old 3G spectrum for emergencies and SMS, etc.
Don't quote me on this but this what I gathered.
If you install xposed you can use the Intelli3g module to switch to 3g.
I have used it on my G4 as I work in an area with strong LTE signal but horrible bandwidth. In that area, 3g is faster than the LTE
My new SM-G930U keeps activation its self with the carrier (Sprint) and then says it needs to restart, over and over again. I disabled the Sprint apps that got installed probably used to activate cell service and the phone is fine.
I want to know if this is a know Samsung issue or something. I was no able to move my data and my way through Samsung process it restarts. I had to remove Sim card to allow it to restore my data first then add the sim card after I disabled Sprint apps.
Has anyone had this issue?
Sprint apps got installed by who? The whole idea of this phone is to keep that crap off.

Are you sure you have the G930U. There shouldn't be any sprint apps on that pre loaded unless you downloaded them.
Sent from my SM-G930U using Tapatalk
Any tips for getting the G930U to activate on Sprint's network? Bought new G930U's for my wife and I, took them to Sprint to get activated yesterday, her's got going just fine, but they spent three hours trying to get mine going to no avail. They tried the North American and International SIM cards on my device, but couldn't get it to connect to Sprint's network. I haven't tried any Sprint apps yet. Thanks.

That is the apps, there really just self activation apps not "Sprint apps"
Any how I had to disable them or every 2 minutes the phone was self activated on the network and auto restart to apply changes...
Maybe Samsung will fix issue or its with my Sprint reseller MVNO company that has the issue. I use a free cell line from RingPlus.

Hello, I'm trying to clear something up once and for all, I bought a dual sim tray off amazon for my US Unlocked Note 20 Ultra, put two sims in it and inserted it in the phone. However absolutely nothing different happened, only the bottom sim (1) was recognized. I am wondering if the US Note 20 does not physically support two sims (or is these some trick to enable it in software, rooted or not)? If anyone knows for sure, please let me know!
Also on eSim functionality, I am able to get into the CSC menu but it only shows US codes, currently it looks like mine is set to TMB (despite it being unlocked straight from samsung), why do I not have any options for eSim (TMB is supposed to I think)?
Nope, only 1 Sim supported, pretty sure it doesn't have the hardware for two physical sims. Also even though you have T-Mobile csc on your unlocked, you need to flash T-Mobile firmware to use esim. (Essentially turning your U1 into a U. esim won't work on unlocked firmware.

Alright, thanks for the info on this!
This is hilarious.
I bought the 20 because it was widely advertised to have dual sim card support, which I want/need as E-sim is .. well, not really available yet.
So, all the advertisements for the phone everywhere list it as a dual sim card phone, but its not.
GG samsung. ffs. I'd have bought the standard note 20.
Only reason to keep the 20 ultra is the sim card support.
Which even then, the phone handles like crap.
The eSIM has finally been turned on for the unlocked Note 20 Ultra on UI 4.0 beta.

Please pardon if this seems repetitive as I have not found any answers. I have T-Mobile SM-S908U (T-Mobile) variant pre-ordered from Samsung. Was able to get the phone network unlocked. So I ended up flashing the phone with XAA variant (SM-S908U1)
I have noticed the followings.
Using SM-S908U(TMobile):
Calls seems much clearer
5GUC Icon
Download 230 Mbps Upload 6.45 Mbps
Using SM-S908U1 (XAA Unlocked)
Calls are not clear as Carrier
No 5GUC icon
Download 278 Mbps Upload 14.4 Mbps
CSC is TMB/TMB,TMB/XAU
Would you please share your call quality with the unlocked firmware? Do I need to do anything to get the clear call quality like the carrier version?
Thank you all in advance
Update: One more observation I've noticed:
Using T-Mobile firmware, when calling any other T-Mobile phone, the calls are very clear, high definition.
Using unlocked firmware to T-Mobile number, regular call quality.
Flash 908U1 TMB not XAA
You had better luck than I getting your phone unlocked. TMo is not unlocking mine.
