Unlocked S8 (SM-G950UZ) on Verizon - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I have searched (there are a few threads pertaining to this, but no definitive answer pertaining to my only question)
Bought the wife an unlocked S8 from Samsung, everything works well on Verizon that is to be expected, EXCEPT video calling using Hangouts or Duo. I have changed the mobile data to LTE/CDMA from global but doesn't change anything. Everytime we try to video call, it never connects and something pops up mentioning an error with the network. Doesn't matter if on WiFi or 4G.
Can anyone confirm that ANY video calling with an unlocked S8 doesn't or does work on VZN?
Can anyone think of possible fixes?
Is my only option to follow the instructions on this thread? (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/unlocked-galaxy-s8-samsung-flashing-t3669156)

I have read yesterday that a user had issues with Youtube, where the video would play for the first 5 to 6 seconds, then stop. The issue seems to be connected to network error of some sort. I am with T-Mobile using unlocked s8 and no issues at all with network or other apps that rely on data.

Whatever the problem is it has nothing to do with your carrier if it doesn't work on wifi as well. Also duo has nothing to do with any calling options as it's a purely internet service. I promise you if no s8s could watch internet videos at all someone would have noticed lol
This all likely indicates an issue with the phone, or with your home network and with your phone. Take it to where you got it or some other VZW help place and ask for help

Thanks guys, you got me thinking and tried a video call with WhatsApp, and it worked both on WiFi and 4G. So I think my question has been answered, but has led to other questions now, like why is Duo and Hangouts not working.... I've checked each permissions......anyway, I guess that is for another thread. Thanks for getting me here.
EDIT: her phone has always played YouTube videos and YouTube TV....in case anyone comes across this thread.

You're welcome
It's q/a section I don't see why we can't continue here....
Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling them?
Also do you have another Google account to test with? If so try adding it to your phone (under settings -> accounts) and then login to duo/hangouts with that account and try.
Also how are you testing it? Video chat 1:1? hangout? If it's 1:1 direct, how are you initiating it? You call them or they call you?

So I figured why would WhatsApp video (yes, 1:1) work and not hangout/duo unless it's a different protocol...which led me to think what could be blocking one and not the other which made me think about about my ad-blocking app 'Block-this!' I turned that off and magically, Hangouts and Duo worked flawlessly.....ugh.
Gah, n00b mistake.

[Q] Volte on Custom Rom/s Verizon?

Can't get any answer at all someone who is on Verizon and has Advanced Calling Enable how or were you able to use VolTE ? when you place a call without wifi are you able to browse at least?
I tried everything even in the secret menu to turn off volte provisioning OFF I couldn't turn it off for some reason , tried to play around with mobile settings. Nada nothing.
Thanks
I read somewhere on here you have to enable it on your Verizon account... It's a thread in general discussion I believe.

That's not the issue, unfortunately. It has something to do with the rom itself. No way to enable it on the phone so you don't receive incoming calls, etc. This happens regardless of it being enabled on your account or not.
Right now, I'd just be happy if they can get incoming calls working. It was great flashing ROMs, and setting up my phone yesterday, but it's back to work today, so I had to nandroid back to stock.

I had it turned on since the note 4 got 5.0.1update so that's not the issue there is no enhanced 4G lte toggle, so while you call you can't browse data or use hd voice. I'm sure it will be fixed because it works on nexus 6.

G6 delayed calls/sms

I'm hoping this is the right place to ask, haven't posted here before, but I'm stumped. I recently upgraded to the LG G6, it's on Bell in Canada. Loving the phone, but having one big issue. When I'm connected to WiFi, I miss calls and texts, it's not consistent but often enough that it's a problem. As soon as I disconnect from WiFi I get any delayed texts and voicemail notifications for any calls I had missed. I'm just running stock, and these are the steps I've tried so far:
-changed sim, nope
-factory reset, nope
-tried sim in another new G6, nope
-turned off VoLTE in call settings, nope
-cannot find a WiFi calling setting or would have disabled as well
-checked with Bell and LG and both say they're unaware of any related issues and advised wait for patch.
Anyone have any other suggestions that may help? I really like the phone, not a Samsung fan and I'll wait for updates if need be, but maybe it's a quick fix in the settings somewhere. *fingers crossed*
Thanks!
WiFi calling setting is in the call option inside your system settings.
Could be your WiFi/router isn't good enough to handle that.
Sounds like a port forwarding issue quite honestly. Probably a Wi-Fi router issue more than the phone issue.

I don't have a WiFi calling option in my call settings, it should be directly under the volte toggle I thought, but can't find it anywhere. And happens on multiple WiFi networks. My home network itself is getting about 50mps download speed when I run speed test on my phone on WiFi.

That's very strange that you don't have a WiFi calling option. Is WiFi calling a region specific feature as well??
If I'm not mistaken, I think it's carrier and device specific. I checked through my Bell plan and I don't see it listed as a feature, but I know the G6 supports it. But I checked everywhere and can't find anything pertaining to it. Odd.

Maybe that is the issue. Perhaps the LG Software is trying to accept calls and texts through the WiFi signal but something that your carrier has done with the blocking off WiFi calling on their end is causing the bug. I'm not too savy with the way Android and it's coding works.
VoWiFi is carrier specific feature. though LG G6 supports it , carrier can disable the feature as you bought phone from him. you can go to hidden menu (277634#*# or *#546368#*872# , here 872 is the phone model , replace it with yours) and turn off VoWiFi.

Questions on using Samsung unlocked S8 on Verizon

I have read a bunch of threads all over and done some searches but cannot seem to find any clear definitive answers on a few things. I am looking at grabbing the Samsung unlocked S8 and want to know for sure if anyone can confirm what does and does not work on VZ with that model? I am pretty sure of the following, but anyone who has one on VZ and can help me out would be greatly appreciated.
- WiFi Calling does NOT work on VZ with the unlocked version. I am pretty sure based on what I read on this.
- VoLTE and HD calling DO work on VZ. Again, pretty sure from what I read but it is hard to find definitive answers anywhere.
- Any app based WiFi calling would still work (so using stuff like Signal or any app that uses data to make calls could make WiFi calls even if the VZ network WiFi calling does not work?)
- Video calling DOES/DOES not work? Cannot find any answer to this.
- Voicemail still gives you notifications/works like normal? I think I read someone say that Visual Voicemail does not work, so the app that lets you just tap and see and instantly listen to VM would not work and you would have to dial *86? Not sure here and clarification is appreciated.
- Any other significant issues or things that don't work or are affected that I have missed?
I think it is pretty bad that phones can evolve with tech and you can get a phone several years and models newer than an older phone, but because one is carrier locked version, it has a ton of features that the newer phone can do, but won't because of carrier BS. Again, all help is appreciated. Thanks!
Visual voicemail does not work. HD calling works. I dont do wifi calling. I dont do video calling. I have unlimited data and mobile hotspot works flawless.

Did you decide to purchase the unlocked S8 for use on Verizon? Has it been a good experience? I'm thinking of buying one since I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan and I'd like to be able to use the mobile hotspot without having to root. Although I don't travel too much, having the option to use my phone in another country by popping in a local SIM is definitely an attractive feature. Thanks in advance!

lg v35 - amazon with Project Fi

Hi, I just picked up on those Amazon Prime phones, LG V35 unlocked. I was sure it would work with project fi and even project fi said it would work. Well, it really does mostly work. I was able to activate it and do just about everything, but I noticed 2 things:
1. No option to enable wifi calling
2. No access to visual voicemail.
I figured I could just install the regular google phone app to gain access to those things, but the google phone app doesn't enable that stuff. And when you make a call, it appears to switch over the LG phone app.
I don't see why this shouldn't work with Project Fi, but I have no clue how to enable those things. Calling on Tmobile and sprint work, texts etc work, it's just those two things that don't work
Would really love to use this version since it's quite a bit cheaper than buying the Fi version.

I don't have this device but, the following thread looks like the same/similar discussion than your question for the same device. It may be helpful for you.

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
Same exact situation here...times three. I bought three of them for family members hoping there would be some way to make the Amazon V35 fully-functional on Project Fi. No visual voicemail would be acceptable, but lack of wi-fi calling is a deal-breaker for me. Any idea if it's even possible to get that working on this phone?
Ironically, wi-fi calling IS installed on the phone (visible by viewing installed system apps), and when I am in an area *with* wi-fi but *without* cellular service, it is trying to connect to wi-fi calling but can't with an "ER081 - Unable to Connect" error.
Any options here?
Thanks much!
Thanks ! It looks like it's just a matter of removing a couple of the lg apps and replace them with Google apps, like the dialer. I don't know if this is even possible or not so I may just return the phone. It would seem like just replacing the dialer would make a big difference though....

I have the At&t V35 and I was able to install the Google Dialer directly from the Play Store. This is the first non Google device I've ever used that let me install the official Google Dialer from the Play Store. It really does make a big difference.
Can you remove the Amazon stuff?
Ok, so I made some project on this -- I got visual voicemail working. All I did was download the phone app, made it default for phone , gave it some permissions and I got all of my visual voicemail.
As for wifi calling, I can't get it to work. I downloaded google connectivity services (strangely, you can't search for it in the play store, but if you do a web search, you'll get a link to it in the play store), I gave it all permissions, etc, and actually I got ONE wifi call to work, but after that I just keep getting "ER081, Unable to connect." So wifi calling doesn't work and I'm not sure what the trick is to make it work. Everything else SEEMS to work, but since wifi calling doesn't work, I wonder if there is anything else that is broken that I'm not seeing.
I don't think you can remove the Amazon apps but they aren't intrusive at all. I got this on prime day and I'd keep it if I could get that wifi calling to work :/
How do I test Wi-Fi calling. Have the same V350ULM on verizon.
I have been playing with hidden settings but really don't know what I am not I am doing and seems like a lot of damage can be done in there using the "Nova Launcher" using the activities widget.
Warning: can really mess up the phone. Be careful and let me know what you find. I am also looking to enable video calling on Verizon.
Thank you
So I got this device from Amazon, and I've had nothing but issues with it.
Originally got it for Verizon, as it says on the Amazon page that it supports the Verizon network, which is partially true. I can make calls and texts and use data on the Verizon network, but literally don't get ANY of the advanced calling features, such as Premium voicemail, or WiFi calling, which is what I needed.
After looking into it, I determined that it was becuase it was an unlocked phone, and I am just not going to get those services to work on the Verizon network.
So my thinking was to switch carriers to Google Fi, since all they do is service unlocked phones. I got the SIM card yesterday, downloaded the Project Fi app, activated and ported over my number from Verizon. All seemed good, except as soon as I finished activation, I kept getting hit with this WiFi Calling Error: ER081 "Unable to Connect".
I first attempted to use only WiFi to do stuff on the phone. I turned on airplane mode, then turned on WiFi, and started testing. I first sent and received SMS and MMS using the standard Android Messages app, and that worked fine.
I then attempted to make a call, and it failed. The phone app wont even attempt to dial out, as it states that 'Airplane Mode' is enabled. That Error: ER081 keeps popping up.
I've been dealing with Project Fi support for the past 12+ hours now trying to figure this out, going through all the BS, they wanted me to install the Hangouts App and Hangouts Dialer, and that works over WiFi, so they were trying to say problem fixed (only if I use that app). That is not a solution.
Has anyone had any better luck with this device on any other carrier, with ALL advanced services and calling features functioning 100%?
I feel like this is a carrier service issue, and not a device hardware issue.

For me it worked if I reset the phone back to stock, and turned it off. Put the Fi SIM in, went through setup, installed the Fi APP, let it do it's config thing, THEN tried to make a call. For me it then worked on WiFi.

Well, being a noob and all I wasn't sure but are you saying that the bootloader has to be unlocked in order to flash any rom in cluding the same Rom Albeit different carrier ?
I just got me a V40 ThinQ thanks to Sprint. It's full of bloated stuffs though, I've never had a branded phone before or may be other company aren't as bad.
Anyway, I want to take a rom dump from the V40 and see if I can give my V35 a run before I send it in to LG for warranty repair. But when I tried uppercut to launch LGUP it still says the dll is out dated. I've tried it with my dll from V35 extraction. still not taking it. Any suggestion ?

I just finished flashing the Project Fi firmware to my Amazon V35 and it all went fine. Going to assume it's a simpler flash since the 2 are practically the same, even the firmware share the same version number. Before doing a factory wipe I tested WiFi calling by turning airplane mode on, wifi back on and made a call. Worked perfect. Did a factory reset on the phone to clear all the Amazon bloat and noticed that when the Project Fi app was activating service, it auto downloaded a sprint file/profile which I had never seen before.
I pulled the LGUP dll from the firmware and also modded it and LGUP for developer options. I only had to pick upgrade for it to work and was surprised how quick the flash actually was. I won't ramble anymore, but if anyone wants I can upload the modded dll and lgup exe that I used to flash.

No problem, hopefully the zip file with the modded files is attached correctly to this reply. It's for LGUP 1.14
My phone was listed as V350ULM10f after the latest OTA update last month (I think it was just a security update). But that's the same version I used for the KDZ. I grabbed the firmware from here:
Firmware
Hopefully it works for you too.
Edit: Also forgot to mention, I had to put the phone into download mode for it to work correctly. Power the phone off, plug the cable into the PC, while holding volume up plug the usb cable into the phone and once you see download mode, release volume up. Then launch LGUP and it should find the phone and be good to go.

Thanks Ibuprofen...I'll definitely check those out this weekend....I noticed the V40 Dev mode has "OEM Unlock" an option to turn on or off but that's probably isn't going to do any good without fastboot.
Bloatcrap
I currently have the Amazon 35.... Are you telling me I can get rid of all this bloatware just by flashing the original firmware?
If this is true I could kiss you on the mouth.

Anyone else having issues with MMS on T-Mobile (international version)?

I ordered my OP8P directly from OnePlus, but my MMS doesn't seem to be working. Anyone else had the issue?
I actually got a message that the settings were not correct, and that the correct ones were being sent to my phone (had never seen that before). I looked at the APN info, and it seems to be correct... based on memory.
I'm on T-MOBILE also and received the same message. The phone had an update so I installed and rebooted the phone. All call,text, MMS, data worked like it's supposed to. Try rebooting?
I have issues when connected to WiFi, message comes in but doesn't download

I've tried rebooting. Things are a lot better, but I still have some issues with calling out (can't remember the message... will try and get a screenshot next time). If I immediately try again, the call will go out.
I'm also not seeing any wifi calling. The feature is enabled, but it doesn't seem to be working... even on the "wifi calling preferred" setting.
Just wanted to post an update.... still having issues. MMS pretty much never works with wifi on. For this reason, my wifi is off pretty much all day. It never fails that as soon as I turn it on, a picture or group message comes in.
Also, this does not affect SMS or RCS messages, which appear to come in over data somehow.... just MMS.
Need a fix bad.
I'm having the same issues with T-Mobile. I'm leaving wifi off in the meantime. Hope there is a fix soon.
That was supposedly fixed with the last update. What software version are you on?

Hi, not sure if it would make a difference but I'm using Google messages with the chat features enabled. I never noticed anything unusual though but I live in Louisiana. Sorry to hear that. I know there is an option for mobile and wifi (dual-channel network optimization) that I haven't been using. Anyway I hope this clears up for y'all.
I'm on 10.5.6. I just went to t mobile and got a new sim card.. It didn't resolve the issue.
Use Textra app, go into settings for Textra and it has option for TMobile WiFi, works great

You really, REALLY had my hopes up. It actually makes sense, but it doesn't work. I tried with both on and off... no luck. MMS messages (both inbound and outbound) are stuck until I turn off wifi.

I used to use the Textra app, but really prefer Google Messages for it's web app. I am on the PC all day, so it's aggravating to have to pick up the phone all the time. I've tried MS Your Phone, but it's not as easy to use, or as reliable.
I created a thread with a similar (but opposite) issue to what you're experiencing. A friend of mine with an international 8 Pro on TMO is having the exact issue you are.

Didn't get any help from that but you can try the APN trick for a temporary fix until it's patched for real. I also created a thread on Reddit for this and I think I found the solution. I use Textra, but that alone didn't help. Someone on Reddit told me to disable the stock messaging app, as well as revoke it's permissions to everything. Since doing that I'm no longer having issues. It's only been about a day so we'll see how it goes from here.
Hope I could help!

Duplicating the APN worked (of course, I did the whole thing then swiped back, thinking it would save, grr). I'm guessing it won't last long. It's just as easy to disable wifi for it to send... so weird that you're having the opposite problem.
**EDIT**
Nevermind... it didn't work. I was able to send out with wifi on (which I couldn't do before), but my wife's test message wouldn't download until I disabled wifi.
I had frozen the stock messaging app on day one, with tibu. I thawed it, revoked the permissions, and disabled it via settings this time. No luck "Not sent. Tap to try again".
Anyone find a fix for it yet? I thought 10.5.8 would help but I still can't receive or send MMS on WiFi.

Granted, I haven't done any extended testing yet, but I can send/receive MMS now with wifi connected. I upgraded about 4 hours ago, and this is probably the longest I've ever had wifi on.
Now that you've posted this, I'm skeptical it will last, though.
**EDIT**
Yep. MMS is still broken when on wifi. Geez....

The latest update seems to have fixed it for me. I was also having issues receiving calls. Callers would get a busy signal. The update fixed that as well. Maybe try taking your SIM out, reboot, then put it back in and reboot.
That didn't work. I'm finally getting notifications from my sports app after the 10.5.8 update. Just have to fix the wifi now.
Wifi still dies on me, but not with the ! on the icon. Just no traffic. I had to toggle it. But nowhere near as much as it used to. The MMS issue is the only reason I don't leave wifi on. I was really hoping it was fixed.
Same issue here even with most recent updates. MMS will work 1/10 times over wifi (sending & receiving) but not the other 9 times.
Since the update I've also noticed wifi issues - they may have been there before but didn't notice. Wifi seems to hang, I sometimes see a "!" next to the wifi symbol. In many cases I turn WiFi off and the connectivity issue in whichever app is resolved.
So at this point on TMobile there is no reason to keep wifi on, which is unfortunate because with their "5G" I actually get half the speeds of LTE. ?

Pretty much everything you said. I'm really upset and disappointed. I'm actually considering returning the phone and going back to the OP7P. Not even sure what the return policy with them is...
