Just a heads up that stock firmware on the G930F allows tethering on AT&T in the US! You don't get the "dial 611 to add this service" message that you normally get with most phones until editing the build.prop file.

So I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5, It's unlocked of course but I have it on Verizon network because I needed Wifi Messaging to work but now that they offical have "Wifi Calling" enabled am I able to take it to say AT & T or Metro PCS and use their Wifi Calling and it'll be ok?
I am using my SIM from an iphone, and my stock device won't let me enable WiFi hotspot, telling me it needs to be enabled on my plan. The tethering worked fine on the iphone and the 3GB Mobile Share plan I am on says that it is permitted.
Do other people have this working? Is this because they don't have my proper IMEI attached to the SIM? Does AT&T have these IMEI numbers in their database or will I lose LTE if I update my IMEI?
Rooted superman 935F.
Okay. We all know Verizon is a CDMA carrier. However this phone does support the LTE bands. I put my Verizon wireless Sim in from 935U to 935F and I HAD data and was able to run a couple of speed tests and even hotspot for about 5 minutes then boom, I was kicked off the network.
So these bastards check whitelisted imei then blocked it LTE discovery giving error but was still "connected" and in service.
So... Is there a way to flash IMEI from 935U to 935F, and 2 incorporate elements of VOLTE from the 935U into the ROM and get it working. Technically it's "possible" but Verizon obviously doesn't want us to do this. Any developers have any ideas if we could pull this off I could finally get rid of tmaybie.
Why not using 935U?
I recently got an AT&T prepaid sim card and I flashed my Canadian W model to G950U (AT&T) branded firmware. I am trying to activate the wifi calling and I get an error APP0008. I called AT&T and they keep telling me that the phone is not an original AT&T and wifi calling is not supported on non AT&T phones.
Has anyone seen this error and how did you resolved it.
Wifi Calling is exclusive for PostPaid accounts. I have Prepaid and they do not activate it for me.
Finally I was able to enable wifi calling on my S8 and Note 9. Both phones have been flashed with the ATT firmware. I have a prepaid account with ATT and I use Canadian models S8 and Note 9.
Of course I cross flashed them with the U firmware and my account has been provisioned for call waiting
Let me describe the problem here.
When I try to enable wifi calling I get an error message APP0008. When I try to read the network settings for call forward and call waiting Samsung says Something went wrong. There is a sim error or network error.
So for some reason Samsung phones can not read the settings from the network. Some people report that if they restrict the phone in 3G mode only are able to read the settings but for my did not make any difference.
My solution was to put my card on an iphone and try to see the call forward settings and enable/disable the call waiting. I got an error as well.
After that I put my sim card to my Samsung phones and suddenly the phones were able to read the network settings for call waiting, call fording.
At the end I went and enable the wifi calling and the phone brought up the ATT page for wifi calling and everything was ok.
The question here is what the Iphone is doing to the sim card/or network and then samsung is able to read the settings and enable the wifi calling?
For people that have problems enabling wifi calling on a ATT firmware (U models) and on Samsung phones and get the APP0008 error try the above
Anyone out there using unlocked AT&T V35 on Cricket wireless? Does VoLTE and WiFi calling work?
Since I figured out the answers, I will post them for others benefit.
With AT&T firmware, both WoWiFi and VoLTE appear to work with Cricket. However, there is no indication VoLTE is working since there isn't a different icon.
With Google Fi firmware, VoWiFi is disabled on Cricket by default. There is not even an option to turn it on. The only way to fix this is to root the phone then edit vo_config.xml file. VoLTE, however, does seem to work but again, no special icon.
