Hi all,
I've been reading all your comments regarding the X1 for around 3 weeks now.. As I'm new I thought... No I wont start a new tread as it seems you all have the same frustration as me waiting for it to be delivered/released (any B/S the network operators seem to fob you off with). I've herd loads of things..
1 O/S fault hence the release put back to late 2008
2 Problems with delivery(Hence the Sony say it's released but no operator can tell you an acctual date... seems to me thay are trashing the phone with their operator software)
Is's some one in the no that can say why this phone has so many issues that it's still not released.
and if someone already owns this phone... what are the bad points, I no everyone wants to no the specs... I want to know about the quality, workman ship..ect.. I don't want to see loose fitting buttons ..or the phone surfing the internet on it's own while it's in my pocket.... nuff said...
But the phone has been released in the UK. I got mine from Vodafone on contract last week, others have picked them up from the Carphone Warehouse quite a few US users got them online from Clove.co.uk
First released in Sweden and then a month later in UK with online shops shipping to other countries as well. And we are talking about simfree unbranded devices.
Threads like this are why I wish people would read through the posts on the first 2-3 pages before posting.
Got one from the o2 shop on thursday..
its been out on vodafone for over a week
yea, guys an idiot? lol
Well as the above user thinks I'm an idiot.. he should try and speak to O2...
as thats who i'm with and I've been calling them everyday. I wouldn't mind but thats the only reason I posted this post. and after calling them again. i'm told they still dont have any... Yes I may now have to now change to Vodaphone. I maybe an idiot because I dared to listen to the many o2 operators fobbing me off. Still you live and learn...
Did you all get your phones sim free or on contract.....?
After I asked to cancle my contract... hey presto they all of a sudden have them in black....
As I was so angry I asked them when did they get the stock... they had stock yesterday for half an hour before it all ran out. ( never knew this phone was in that much demand)
seems to me I was being made a fool of... coz after all that, they wanted £99 pounds for me to upgrade...! It better the nuts or i'm gonna break some
Got mine on the 28th of October at Expansys.com. Surprised you're saying that it's still not in the UK.

Ey up chav... no where in your first post did you mention you were on O2. Is jimmeh1988 supposed to have telepathic poweres to sense this?
The thread and post subject you gave was: X1 Still not released in the UK.., so you'll have to excuse the guys on here (including myself) for thinking your an idiot for obviously not reading anything that anyone has posted on this forum!
Got a Text message from AT&T today, saying a suitable data plan is required for Laptops, Tablets, and Mifi Devices. Call 611 now to avoid service interuption
WTF I have had a dell streak since August of 2010, never a problem then.
So I called and got someone who seemed to know very little in regards to smartphones in general. Told her I have multiple devices that I use at different times, which is true. She asked me if the current and newest device i am using is a samsung GT-N7000, i said its a samsung, and its new, but I have no clue what the model number is.
She asked what dataplan I had, I told her I have the same unlimited plan I have had for 4 years. She verified that and said it is a suitable plan and to ignore the message.
I have played games like this before. For some reason the issue comes back up and you say so and so you talked to a month ago said it was fine, they ask who you talked to, you say I don't remember the name, and they say sucks for you.
So I had her send me an email with her name, saying that everything is fine, and that I do indeed have a suitable data plan for my device.
Hopefully thats that, but be prepared to get a warning such as this.

Don't blame AT&T for this. Blame all the ppl that are using a Note on a MediaNet plan. They are starting to crack down on it. Worst case scenario is you having to bring in your Note to an AT&T store & showing them its a legit phone.
I got the same message yesterday. Called AT&T and told them I've never used any of those devices. He asked for the IMEI and confirmed that I had a Samsung phone and told me he would remove the note from my record and update that I have a Samsung phone.
Gave me his extension and said if I got the message again to call him and he would take care of it.

Wait, she knew the model number of the Note but still wanted you to sign up for some tablet data plan? That's a very interesting tidbit...
I'm happy to hear a rep appears to be working with someone. It is a little troubling that we might have to lie about the model of our device (she asked if he had the GT-N7000, which is the Note's model.) I really hope my reaction in the other thread turns out to be an over reaction.

I'm actually hoping the fact she knew the model number is a sign AT&T's gearing up to offer the Note themselves. Maybe it's in their system but not yet properly categorized or something.

Yeah how in the heck did the rep know what model phone he had? I know they can see the IMEI number on their screens but I wonder if the systems ID'd it correctly or if the CSR searched for the IMEI through an online tool?
If you lose your plans I can recommend an alternative solution that may or may not save you money.
Port your phone # to Google Voice, that will save you $20 a month for unlimited text. The only trade off is right now Google Voice only does MMS from Sprint. This will allow you to keep your current #, and only need to pay AT&T for data and voice.
With Android you can make calls via Google Voice and it will operate like using the # through your carrier, no hoops to jump through or data connections required like VOIP. Everyone you call will still see your normal number.
Got another message this morning saying that my data plan has been restricted and that I need to call immediately. Glad I asked for that email from the CSR last night.
Also, I highly doubt the CSR looked it up. She did not seem to know the process of much of anything, and It was very hard not to just lash out and tell her the answeres to her own questions she was looking up in the system about data plans...but didnt want to seem overly knowledgeable...
Will post the results when I have a chance to call.
That's what I've been afraid of. If the system is doing this, do the reps actually have any power to override the system? So even if you do go into a store and they say ok it's a phone, can they actually make the system stop booting you?

I've been wanting the Note to come to AT&T simply for the fact that the more people that get it, the more support it'll have here. However, I had a bad thought; what if they rip the voice and sms capabilites out of it and call it a tablet, like they did here? http://www.groubal.com/att-is-price-gouging-by-disabling-device-features-must-read/ That would be in line with the reports of people getting booted.
I am trying to do the opposite. I would like to get a data plan only for my note but I am afraid to use the Note's IMEI number because I think they will detect it as a phone and won't let me do data only.

That's certainly a valid concern. Though I would think if that was the case, the reps wouldn't have been able to "fix" the issue for those that have had it fixed. Nothing to do but wait and see how this unfolds.
How much data do you use? I haven't gotten a message like that but then again I hardly use their data. I'm on wifi most of the day.

How many members so far have NOT received the text are on the grandfathered unlimited plan? (NOT medianet)
That was what they did to the Galaxy Tab, and people weren't able to use it as a phone. What they did over the Galaxy Tab forum was to backup and delete the efs folder. The tab then has a generic IMEI and works as a phone on AT&T network again. Wonder if we can do the same thing on the Note.

I have the unlimited smartphone data program and have hot gotten a text yet. I haven't used wifi sharing yet. Maybe that is causing the system to flag people?
Im grandfathered as well and have not gotten any messages about data.
Sent from my Galaxy Note
I am on the grandfathered smart phone plan and have not gotten the text yet. I upgraded to 4g unlimited last week and had to give the imei of my note and they said nothing about the note being data only then. I have used quite a bit of data but no wifi sharing/tethering.
YES. 1,678 signatures! I have to admit even I am impressed that this thing KEEPS getting new signatures daily. I want to thank some of the Devs who provided links on the OP page for ROMs they developed, and if we continue to spread the word, I see no reason that 5,000 signatures could be reached. If AT&T chooses to ignore that many people, it will be a good indicator of how foolish they have truly become. Keep 'em coming! I am seeing many new signatures every day. Posting links to it is one thing I know that works: Go to any Facebook Page (I have only hit AT&T and Samsung, post a few words and this link:
Please support this campaign/sign this petition: http://chn.ge/192KeHy <- Paste this on any Facebook Page or when you leave comments in Blogs or tech sites. On Faceboot it creates a nice link with a graphic.
For all the negative types that pop in here just to say "stop dreaming, it won't make the slightest difference" - I agree that this is just a "blip" on the radar of AT&T Execs such as Ralph de la Vega's radar, but it's one noisy, annoying, won't go away blip, and it keeps upsetting his "vison". -isn't that just special
Pasting the link I provide below into threads on this subject seems to be very effective in creating a buzz.
This is simply to let AT&T know that they have alienated the folks who people go for tech advice when they BUY a new phone or UPGRADE an existing device. . Guess what we are going to tell them about AT&T's Note 3?
This is ALSO a way to get word out that it is locked. The average consumer has no idea, doesn't even know what locked bootloader will do or not do.
Copy and paste the links below anywhere on the web. See a site saying how wonderful the Note 3 is? Paste the link. Hit em wherever you express yourself. I want AT&T to know they have crossed the line with this move. Will they change policy? Probably not, they are not Asus or HTC, but I still believe that the alternative; to just accept this is to give AT&T permission to find MORE to take away from us is UNACCEPTABLE!!!!. It was a petition (an the work of New York Senator Al Damato that got people the right to port phone #'s to a new carrier. Before that you were often locked to a carrier by your number. Also petitioning ASUS 2 years ago got us an unlocker (and warranty "voider") for the Transformer Prime.
The petition is not a static document. Every new signature sends an email to each of the following AT&T Executives:
Randall L. Stephenson - Chairman and Chief Executive Office
Ralph de la Vega - President and Chief Executive Officer - AT&T Mobility
John Donovan - Senior Executive Vice President, AT&T Technology and Network Operations
John T. Stankey - Group President and Chief Strategy Officer

Help blitz on AT&T's Social Media Pages on FaceBook
https://www.facebook.com/ATT
We REALLY need to make our voice heard at Samsung, who, as a partner to AT&T, may have additional influence when they know that THEIR business will be affected as well.
https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobile
Go to these sites, and blitz the wall with this line: AT&T: Unlock OUR Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Bootloader! or Samsung: Please ask AT&T to Unlock OUR Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Bootloader!
Some of us are, unfortunately not financially equipped to run out and get a T-Mobile N3.
I can guarantee you if we just grumble and sulk about it, or even go elsewhere with our business without making sure that AT&T knows WHY we did it, not only will nothing change, but the same a$$es that made this policy will be planning new ways to screw with us. Feel like its a waste of time? Is less than 2 minutes to sign a petition too much trouble? Great. You can just accept whatever they want to take away next.NOT signing is comparable to standing there while a mugger robs and beats someone who is helpless to defend themselves and not even yelling "Hey, leave that person alone" to the creep doing the crime.
I second that motion! Im really not happy that at&t is choosing to lock down their phones, its my damn phone. I pay a monthly service fee for the spotty coverage and another $200 + for the phone, I should be able to do whatever I damn well please with it. I really want to get the note 3 but the locked bootloader is a deal breaker for me.
I say unlock the bootloader or your going to have a lot of pissed off people looking to buy elsewhere or jump ship. I know at least one person who has already gone to t mobile!

I'll sign twice, you don't need an ID to vote in most states, I'm sure I can make up a few names! lol But really, I've been blasting AT&T's twitter wanting an answer as to why. Even referencing the droves of consumers running to purchase a TMob version and sim unlocking! I don't think they care, but it makes me feel better to complain!

Sure, I agree too... But that's not going to stop me from TRYING or voicing my opinion.

I'm definitely in. Yea its been done before and no it probably won't work. But hell, I'm all about taking a stand. I've got the GN3 and Ive already listed the phone to sell it. I've already decided to take the money and buy the T-Mobile version. This locked bootloader has burnt my ass since I bought the S4. Its ridiculous that a mammoth of a company like AT&T has that kind of power in the first place. If everyone took a stand from day one and told these companies what we'd stand for and what we wouldn't, then this wouldn't be happening now. Thing is they know people will still purchase phones and sign contracts for their service no matter what they do to their customers. Its locked bootloaders and region sim locks now, wonder what they'll dream up next. Problem is, people will sit and ***** about how companies do them but nobody ever does anything about it. If we all came together and told them to jam the phones and service in their asses they'd have to change policy or go bankrupt. But it'll never happen because people won't come together and do it. A handful of people up against a giant like AT&T will ALWAYS get swept under the rug. It takes massive numbers to make a change. When that happens...we'll get results.
I wish you luck. Unfortunately, AT&T said they don't support unlocked bootloaders according to this:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...tloaders-so-stop-asking-us-about-every-phone/
Maybe they'll have a change of heart with the Note 3. It would be nice at least.

lol good luck... they are not going to do anything about this.. its all about customers aka money.. unless you want to give them money im sure they will if they have enough.. but still when you buy a note 3 full price from att they wont unlock the bootloader...
im getting the t-mobile note 3 and my contract from att ends next year and ill be switching back to t-mo after like 8 years with att..
im sure it will get hacked sooner or later but when a bootloader is locked you play this cat and mouse game.. just like when i use to jailbreak..
really att needs to loosen up.. hope you guys get what you asked for but for now enjoy your note 3 and wait..........
Hi everyone. I have a question that pertains to my att servjce and a unregistered imei . So i traded a friend of mine an iphone 5 for his XT2. AT&T. He has cricket and had no problems with the phone or the. service . I however have att and about 6 hours after getting the phone and putting my sim card in it att shuts off my line. Turns out the phone was never rang up at the register. So the imei os unregistered i guess? Is there any way at all i can get past this and use my phone. Via settings database editor. Xposed apps or mods. Anything??!!?

Probably not what you want to hear but...
There is an entire conversation in the XT2 SD thread that discusses this very issue. you will need the original receipt to prove you/your friend purchased the phone to show at&t and they will remove the phone from blacklist, i have not read any other info pertaining to a workaround.
Maybe someone else have some additional incite.
Good luck,

thats what at&t was saying as well. but i am sure there has got to be a way. people end up with phones that have bad imei's all the time.. i understand this is a slightly situation because the phone was assumingly never purchased from the store.. but not really. either way the point is to get it to where atts systems cannot detect that i am using this phone... so i assume there has to be a solution.
maybe im wrong in believing people can get past bad imei's. thank you tho.. hopefully your wrong i hate iphones so i traded a 6s for this
thanks again.

easiest solution go to Walmart buy an xt2 ($69)
sell the one you have to a cricket customer
If you really can't afford the $69 you could return the bad phone to Walmart for a refund (it's actually their fault the IMEI is not registered)
it's not the most honest thing to do, but it would work.
Wow your right. The people at at&t were talking toe like i stole it from walmart or something. They had my phone line completely
suspended

I had the same problem a year or so ago with the H1611, I got it online and it was never correctly rang out.
Yeah. I disabled everything att related and removed all the permissions and its been two whole days. Im pretty sure if they could read the imei my service wouldve already been suspended again. Ill remove this now.
Hi. Yesterday I made another post about how 986u1 owners were promised esim in pre-order for dsds , and when phone was delivered guess what it wasn't active. So I posted in members community and put up photo of my transcript from Samsung promising it when I spoke to them via chat. Thousands of other people had same thing. Lies from Samsung. So I posted many times and finally spoke to customer of mine who is consumer advocate lawyer here in Los Angeles and said if I get 25k people he would file a suit. So I was asking people to join.
After my post withing 2 min I got pm from members community saying I was banned and cannot post. I can't even open app. So watch what you complain about on there. If you call their bs they try to silence you with a ban.
All I did was point out promises the lied about. I want my esim
So I today I made warranty claim on my phone that my esim is broken. I will send the phone back every week if I have to until I get what I paid for..
They blame the carriers not wanting it but then why does fold z2 and others and iPhone 11 12 have esim and carriers have no issues using them.
If anyone knows way to unlock the modem drivers where I can open all bands and esim please help. I tried the root on my 9860 per the guide here and it bricked my 9860. I finally recovered it but I'm not going try again , I require dsds plus I was promised it
I have 986u1 128gb and 512gb 9860 both in bronze.

Did you really think Sammy was gonna let you build a case against them on their own forums? lol
OP as much as it's a major disappointment for me personally, as well their credibility falling a few notches for the brand name. I doubt much can be done. Since it's pretty evident Samsung dropped to all fours at the request of the USA carrier cartels. Two things can be done, raise a petition and or stop buying their hardware moving forward. Just my one quids worth.
Whats up Limey. I to am banned from Samsung Members for life just for saying, "Sammobile has the firmware your looking for"..lol it seems that the "go to guys" there just sit and wait to report someone that steps on their world. It was funny that another member was complaining about what I said and I corrected him about several things that he had no clue about and then other members started asking me the questions....them poof I was banned.

With a clever communication, SAMSUNG is a seller of dreams, the risks are low, and it works, you buy their products: it's good for the business.
Samsung's next watch will have 1 month of battery life, it's promised
Selling dream is a good business.
Trying to open a law suit against a company would count as you threatening the company and they have rights to ban you for it.
So you did a quite of a fault and got yourself banned, never write such thing open like that.

You do understand, that if they could they would've enabled esim, right? They have certain contracts with US carries that they cannot override... So some guy made a mistake in promo materials, and they had to fix it at the time of release... And here you go...
eSIM indeed there on all N20 devices but samsung have activated with certain carriers only, that means samsung have nothing to do but add a line in CSC to activate it. (even anyone with rooted device can do it, but meaningless if your operator don't provide it) This shows likely it is because of agreement with carrier regarding this. Anyway, banning users is not justified in any case, moderators is premature indeed.

Hi. Yesterday I made another post about how 986u1 owners were promised esim in pre-order for dsds , and when phone was delivered guess what it wasn't active. So I posted in members community and put up photo of my transcript from Samsung promising it when I spoke to them via chat. Thousands of other people had same thing. Lies from Samsung. So I posted many times and finally spoke to customer of mine who is consumer advocate lawyer here in Los Angeles and said if I get 25k people he would file a suit. So I was asking people to join.
After my post withing 2 min I got pm from members community saying I was banned and cannot post. I can't even open app. So watch what you complain about on there. If you call their bs they try to silence you with a ban.
All I did was point out promises the lied about. I want my esim
So I today I made warranty claim on my phone that my esim is broken. I will send the phone back every week if I have to until I get what I paid for..
They blame the carriers not wanting it but then why does fold z2 and others and iPhone 11 12 have esim and carriers have no issues using them.
If anyone knows way to unlock the modem drivers where I can open all bands and esim please help. I tried the root on my 9860 per the guide here and it bricked my 9860. I finally recovered it but I'm not going try again , I require dsds plus I was promised it
I have 986u1 128gb and 512gb 9860 both in bronze.
Have good day yall

Sorry you had that trouble - for what it's worth, I am guessing that they didn't ban you for the general content you wrote or your complaints - but instead, they probably banned you for talking about suing them and asking others to join the suit. ( I assuming that was the general content of your post.) If so, you really can't blame them for doing that - I would think most forums would not allow people to leave posts that encouraged other members to join in a Legal Action.
I could be wrong of course - anyway - good luck....

It will take more than a CSC change to enable it. A lot of the required software is not installed or even present in the current U.S. firmware. I've already ripped apart the firmware.
Key components like SIM Card Manager, are not installed, and the modem binaries also need updating. Tried manually installing them, but no luck.
All U.S. carriers support eSIMs, for some reason Samsung chose not to enable the function in the firmware for the Note 20 series.
If it was carriera not wanting it, then why did they activate it on the fold z and sell it through carriers. Same with iPhone. If carriers had problem with it they wouldn't sell then in their stores and they wouldn't activate them. My wife likes crapple so I got her 11 and just up grade to 12 and both esim are activated and in use. So I don't belive its carriers.
You walk in they activate it on spot. So I don't get why,they won't,
Side note I have managed to open modem.bin file from bri software and have been looking at policy's of if sim is xxx and region is xxx turn this band on and off.
I want to try to find way to edit where it just turns all bands on and find way to flash it. If I can figure it out I will post it.

Blame your carrier; they are partner with Samsung.
For example AT&T tells Samsung what they want in a model's firmware or not. Even graphics for things like contact menus.
For carrier phones Sammy's hands are tied.
Carrier reps will sometimes try to blame Samsung if you let them.
I don't because I know they're partnered... So if the same unlocked model does tricks yours can't, blame your carrier not Sammy!
Samsung S Korea reps can't handle criticism well and will lamely try to skirt an issue on the phone. Many times by asking the same question twice even three times. Once I even suggested they take notes if their short term memory was so poor, bah-ha-ha-ha!
I delight in rightfully criticizing a Samsung flaw when I occasionally get a S Korean rep on the line.
They predictably will be of no help but it's fun to watch them squirm in their own unique Occidental manner, TFF:laugh:
Also can I state that it isn't smart to talk about work around in the official Samsung forums. Unless you want to make life harder for everyone else??
Yeah it sucks they probably banned you but also don't make their jobs any easier finding ways block us getting around some of their silly limitations.

I mean if their jobs don't suck enough right?
Obviously they are being recorded and I'm sure having a job is more important than appeasing big brains coming from tech forums asking questions they know they won't get answers to from first or even second level support.
But yes let's rejoice in their desire to keep employment in the current world climate.
It's beyond them wanting to keep their jobs.
Samsung, especially SK, has the worst tech support I've ever encountered.
Far worse than Sony... if that tells you something.

Sorry man. Still no excuse for being that type of person. You literally call them just to harass them then come here to brag about it. What's that say about you?
Be mad at the companies. Don't harass the people making a living.

In this particular case, this is all on Samsung.
Both locked and unlocked variants (U/U1) have the eSIM function disabled. Doesn't matter what carrier you're using.
U.S. carriers have no issues with eSIM use. They've supported it for a couple of years now.

Then perhaps so, but Sammy is no angel.
However since carriers are partnered with Samsung their desires carry a lot of pull. Carrier reps out of either convenience, ignorance or both will frequently say the carrier has no control over what Samsung does.
In fact the carrier very much does.
A brief reminder that they are partnered with Samsung usally stops that defense argument succinctly. This how you check this carrier tactic when applicable.
Generally contacting Samsung is less likely to yield a favorable result than contacting your carrier for support. Sad but true; Samsung tech support is literally the worst I've ever seen in a large electronic corporation.
Denon and Canon are the best. Denon in fact is unsurpassed when it comes to product support; they want you to be 100% satisfied. They will intergrate good legitimate suggestions in their next product cycle and even give retrograde products hardware/firmware upgrades on their flagship receivers for a fee but net zero profit. They provide life long repair service for all their products for a modest fee with a price quote in advance (and a guarantee to restore said device to factory specs).
I've personally been thrilled to see and use these services. Easy as pie. Wow.
So Sammy could do much better in my estimation.
If they don't, another company will pick up the ball.
