Picked up an ativ s. Love the os.

Coming from android and wp is a breath of fresh air.
I love how all apps use the same font and general style. Next up, a surface pro for work.

you can dl most of the nokia apps including the nav app.

@glenroebuck: There are two ATIV S models; I'm guessing you got the SGH-T899M since it has LTE? If possible, please test a couple things for me:
1) Go to Settings -> About -> More Info, and list the OS, Radio, and Firmware version numbers.
2) Go to Settings -> Internet Sharing, and try to enable it (even if your plan doesn't support it, tell me what error message you get).
I'm trying to track down something that might be a problem with the phone or might be a problem with the OS or might just be a problem with my device, and there aren't many USA users of the SGH-T899M it seems.

os 8.0.10211.204
Firmware 2212.12.12.2
radio 2212.12.12.2
radio firmware 0.0.0.0
turned it on and it told me there is no cellular data connection to share right now.

Damn... that's the same error I get (even though it's blatantly false; I get that error even while I'm streaming music and downloading apps over said data connection).
Same version info too. They apparently have March and April 2013 updates, but those might only be for the other ATIV S model... I can't get them myself.

that is weird I only ever got it when you had me test it although today in my home city of clevlelad I got lte in some places but not near my home and it completly lost signal...like emergency calls only. I had to reboot to get it back. Did not have those issues in anaheim and Las Vegas both lte areas - but we are not official yet here in cle.

You're on T-Mobile, right? Set the APN to "fast.t-mobile.com" (no username or password) and it should work on both HSPA+ ("4G") and LTE (you'll briefly lose data when switching, but it comes back quickly; if that's too annoying then disable LTE). I think the APN info built into the phone for T-Mobile is wrong or possibly just outdated, which is why it doesn't switch to LTE gracefully and also why tethering doesn't work (tethering uses a different APN, "pcweb.tmobile.com", note the lack of a hyphen in this one).
People with the other model ATIV S have reported that after installing the April firmware update, they're able to install an app called "APN" that automatically configures their phone, including enabling tethering (although probably not LTE, which I believe is unavailable on that model). There is an app called "APNs" in the store for the T899M, but it doesn't have the auto-config option, nor the ability to set a tethering APN.

I used the apn app from samsung to configure fast.t-mobile.com when I was in vegas to get lte to work. It has been working ever since only yesterday was the first time i experienced no network after coming off LTE but again it is not official here in Cleveland so that might be the issue.
Other than that I love this phone. Since I have had a zune account for ever - if I shazam a song it lets me dl it directly from xbox store (zune account = xbox music acccount) Myappfree is a great way to get good apps for nothing. (they have a daily free app) and really any app I would use on android or iphone - there is the same or a similar app here. and the Ativ is such an pretty phone lol...people always ask me "is that the new s4?" then I explain it is a windows phone and they get a blank look

the gps one is called Here Drive Beta (that is the only one I use) it is a pretty nice gps as it lets you dl the whole us or just the states you want for use offline and give lane guidence and such.
For camera I like Blink or Photogram (not really nokia apps) You can get Here Maps too.

Does any one have problem when you shutdown device or restart that volume reset to 20/30 ?
I mean I have volume set to 30/30, and i noticed after reboot or power off that volume is 20/30 :S

Android for Work compatibility?

I've done quite a bit of searching, and input every search term I can think of, but haven't been able to find an answer to this question: Does anyone know if the Zenfone 2 Laser ze551kl supports Work Profiles for Android for Work?
*EDIT* -- I figured out a way that people can test to see if their phone natively supports Work Profiles (required for Android for Work using Google's MDM): Test DPC, Google's profile test app for developers. If you (or anyone else reading this) is able, could you download Test DPC on your ze551kl and at least go through the initial steps in setup? If the phone doesn't support Work Profiles it will through up a message saying as much (tested the app on an s4, which got that error message) in the first few steps of the setup.
All more general searches I do only bring up results for the recent firmware update that added support to the ze551ml (not the ze551kl). When I narrow the search enough to exclude that model from the results, I only get results for lists of articles or queries that have separate, unrelated posts for ze551kl and Android for Work.
It's too bad all manufacture's don't just include support for the Work Profile (i.e., the AT&T S4 I currently use issued as a work phone still doesn't support it).
So -- does anyone know the answer to this question? I'd really appreciate it.

Its got the ability to have different user profiles, but I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to. Is it an app or would it be in the settings menu somewhere?

It's a bit different than user profiles, but similar.
http://arstechnica.com/information-...r-work-dual-persona-support-comes-to-android/
It essentially creates a containerized section on the phone for Google Apps for Work. You end up with "two" hangouts, gmail, contacts, etc (which is nice, because it removes the account from switching account options in apps -- like when you share to Hangouts and it makes you select an account everytime if you have more than one). Instead of the work accounts device policy enabling it to see all apps installed on phone, have permissions to remote wipe, the Work Profile makes it so that the work account device policy can only see information in the Work Profile, and only has permissions to remote wipe the work profile.
I currently use Android for Work on my Moto X Pure 2014, and carry a separate s4 issued by work. I'd like to just put both of those sims into one phone, but I need something decent, that supports data on both sims (data connection active on both at same time not required), that also supports Android for Work.

Gotcha, I don't really see any Android for work options anywhere in mine, is there anything you had to download from the Play Store on your Moto X to get it working?

Unfortunately it's only something you can verify if you start setting up a Google apps account that can use it. Otherwise it doesn't show up anywhere.
I really appreciate you digging around for it though.

We can only hope. Really appreciate you taking the time to test it!
Still trying to figure out if all devices on Marshmallow (whether launched with it, or updated to it) include support for Work Profile. Seems like that's the case, but having a hard time finding a definitive answer.

How to verify if your T-Mobile Services are really working (WiFi Calling, VoLTE, etc)

Wifi Calling, VoLTE, Video Calling, HD Voice, RCS, Advanced Messaging, etc...
Why Verify? (Reasons):
- If you are using a S8/S8+ SM-G955F/FD Exynos variant on T-Mobile USA and you want to confirm/verify or activate some services... (CSC/Configuration Troubleshooting)
- If you are using a S8/S8+ SM-G955U Snapdragon on T-Mobile USA with another non standard T-Mobile Firmware like Canadian XAC, USA Unlocked XAA, etc... and want to confirm... verify.
- If you are using a S8/S8+ SM-G955U Snapdragon on T-Mobile USA and simply want to make sure everything is working correctly.
- DEV/ROM Troubleshooting
Download & Install Shortcut Master then follow the steps below:
STEP-1 - 1st Make sure you are on LTE! then... follow pictures bellow.

This is how a regular T-Mobile device should look... with ALL T-Mobile Services working... (Wifi Calling, VoLTE, Video Calling, HD Voice, RCS, Advanced Messaging, etc...)
Example: International S8+ SM-G955F with modified ROM/CSC
This is an example of a NON T-Mobile device with some T-Mobile Services working... (Wifi Calling, VoLTE, Video Calling & HD Voice)
Hope this helps...

@TEKHD - wanted to confirm that your directions to access the IMS information screen to confirm configuration settings works with the F/D variant using an ATT CSC. i'm still having issues getting Video calling and WiFi calling to work probably because ATT has my IMEI from my S6 Active associated with my account (vs. my FD IMEI).

@TEKHD Will S8_TMO_PACKv3.zip work with AQEB? Thank you so much for the guides!

Yes, you should be able to see your IMS registration with AT&T. Yes, as you mentioned, the problem with AT&T is that they block/prevent IMS registration for certain services because of your IMEI. If the IMEI is from a non AT&T device, they will simply reject IMS registration. Now, in your case, I think the S6 Active IMEI should work fine, I think the problem is your FD variant. International Dual sim models (FD) can't easily register unless you make some heavy software/CSC modifications. For example, I can get WiFi Calling, VoLTE, Video Calling & HD Voice on my S8+ F variant, but only VoLTE & HD Voice on my S8+ FD variant. It is hard to actually have all services running on a dual sim variant. But... it is not impossible because I have WiFi Calling, VoLTE, Video Calling & HD Voice on my S7 Edge FD variant. Hope this helps my friend.

Hello there dynospectrum, I also remember you, lol. I honestly can't confirm (not tested yet) but I don't see why not. Unless the firmware is very different, I think it should work. I will later update to latest firmware and re-test the pack (and post results)

If you are with Rogers, I can tell you right now, no dice.
Since the introduced wifi calling and voice over lte, they implemented imei based discrimination, to allow connections, only with their own devices.
I tested in the past with note 5 tmobile and s7 edge f variant. Loading Rogers csc does set all propper IMS settings, but alas once it syncs and does the check with the tower it disconnects. To get it temporarily back you have to put your sim in Rogers device and give it few minutes. Once it is all up and running, putting sim in non Rogers phone connects to everything fine, for one to ten minutes, then it is disabled again.
Maybe you can con your way into CSR adding your imei into Rogers database, the way they regularly do with Apple bought iPhone, but alas I was never able to.
Unless they change the policy, that is the state of things.

Does band 12 work on T-Mobile (USA)?

Wait, I'm confused. I'm on a T-Mobile variant running the XAA unlocked firmware and of course lost video calling and RCS features. I was able to get to the IMS menu and it shows no registered profiles. Any way I can register one and get it working?
Okay, rebooted and it shows registered now. It only has the minimal of options available. (WiFi calling, volte, he voice) Any way to get RCS and video calling working? I'm on a T-Mobile variant running the unlocked firmware (XAA). I've check marked all options for RCS and video chat but they didn't work. The video chat option in the dialer did appear though.
Edit: to be more clear, my setup looks similar to the last screenshot in OP although I'm on a SM-G955U running XAA firmware.

yes if you see 2 holes in tray then it's most likely MicroSD and SIM not dual SIM. Since DUAL sim one supports both 2 sims or 1 MicroSD and 1 sim.

RCS messaging

Ever since I got my s10+ I've been trying to figure out how to get RCS messaging to work. It's no where present on the samsung app and even the google messages app. It wasn't even present on my s7 edge at the time I had that device. I'm with Bell canada but bought my device through samsung canada so it is the unlocked version. I've called Bell and they told me the feature is enabled but yet the option isn't there under settings. I have also called samsung and they couldn't help me. So if anyone knows anything, help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm with Bell canada but bought my device through samsung canada so it is the unlocked version. I've called Bell and they told me the feature is enabled but yet the option isn't there under settings. I have also called samsung and they couldn't help me. So if anyone knows anything, help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you have RCS on your previous phone?
From what I know, the RCS implementation for android is very fragmented. Samsung messages has some sort of rcs with other samsung devices only, android messages has rcs with different requirements, carrier problems, etc. If you did have RCS on your previous phone with the same carrier, then it is most likely that it was excluded in the current software.

it wasn't even there on my s7. Bell told me it's available

Try this...
1) Download "Carrier Services" from the play store.
2) Make Google Messages the default messaging app.
3) Check Messages / Settings / Advanced to see if "Chat" is available.

its not there

Are you on an unbranded firmware? If so, that might be the reason. When I had my S9+ on my carrier's firmware I had RCS settings in the stock Samsung messages app, when I changed to an unbranded ROM, it disappeared.

I didn't have it on my s7. I switched carriers back in december so I had the phone unlocked and for my s10+ it's unlocked as well but when I put the Bell sim card in, it factory restarted and installed some bell apps on it. I bought the phone directly from samsung

You can try turning on RCS features by downloading the google dialer port, set it as your default phone app and then dial *#*#467#*#*. Under IMS service switch you can turn on RCS and then scroll down to enable RCS features.View attachment 4733708View attachment 4733709

Which version of the google dialer did you use? I've tried a few and none seem to work right - mainly voice mail.

I'm using v30, you have to set it as your default app and also enable permissions. I only use the app for codes, I switch back to the Samsung dialer for regular stuff.

You have to download the Google dialer port, if you just download it from apk mirror it won't work.

it's enabled but still not showing up in settings

I've actually looked around a bit. Apparently, some carriers label the RCS option differently. Carriers can offer within-carrier RCS with a label called Advanced Messaging, and/or a RCS between carriers as well, typically labeled Universal Profile 1.0. Most likely, RCS within-carrier is enabled by default with some really bad label name. I"m not sure whether you support Universal Profile, which allows RCS communication between carriers as well.

Flash your carriers firmware and itll work.

Doesn't carrier firmware already get loaded when you put in a sim card? It did factory reset when I popped it in.
