Missing lock screen setting - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I just received my Galaxy S8 plus which I ordered directly from Samsung. My carrier is T-mobile
Samsung supplied me with a T-mobile SIM which I activated through the T-mobile store
I noticed that the " on lock screen " setting is not present. This setting was present on my Galaxy S7
Did they forget to put that feature in ? or just did away with it ? I wanted to disable the SMS preview on my lock screen and went crazy trying to find the setting. I tried searching for others that may have encountered this.
Any assistance or confirmation would be greatly appreciated.

video call function no where to be seen on my TP2

Hi,
Does anyone have the same problem as I do where it is not possible to do video calls? The option (as stated in the manual) can not be seen anywhere on my phone. Just wondering if it is something that is disabled in the ROM, and how to fix this issue?
ROM Version - 1.12.531.2 (49169) WWE
Radio - 3.44.25.17
Protocal Version - 61.24t.25.17U
Have you checked the toggle located at the bottom left of the dialer when you open the phone app?
When I press the button you mentioned, it would bring up call history page rather than toggle into video call mode. Forgot to mention though, my TP2 has T-Mobile logo all over it so it may not be generic?
Thanks for the reply!

I believe u don't have the front facing camera? If that's the case, then u won't have that function (cuz most of the companies remove the second camera and I don't remember whether T-mobile is one of them or not)

are you located in the United states or in europe?
Thanks for all your replies. I was deeply worried at first fearing that I may not have the second camera. It was a big relief to have finally found the second camera alive and working, which is making me thinking the ROM had the video call function disabled. Does any one know if T-Mobile in the US supports video call?
For all who are interested, I got mine from Asia and had asked for a English version rather than a Chinese version. What I got was a non-branded TP2 with what appeared to be a fully customised T-Mobile USA ROM. (Perhaps confirming that it will be available in the US?) The ROM version appeared to be quite old compared to others that are out there though.
I can not wait for the Hard SPL to flash mine to see if I can get the video call going, and perhaps getting rid of all the T-Mobile settings on the phone as I am in Australia.
Crikey so you're in Australia with an Asian TP2 running an American ROM?
Sounds like a recipe for disaster! Looks like your stuck til someone breaks the HSPL barrier.
same here
I got my TP2 in Taiwan (as I live in Taipei ) and they put the english Tmobile ROM in. Phone has both cameras (front/rear) but no option so I'm looking as well how to get it working.
I also got a problem with MMS (did all the phone company Chunghwa settings) but I can only receive MMS and I cannot send (it tries but stays in outbox).
Trying to figure out if there's a registry to fix these things.

[Q] SHV-E250K issue

Hey Guys..
I recently purchased an SHV-E250K phone from Korean.
Everytime i boot it up, it shows that Olleh Logo, instead of the samsung logo
Looking around i found out that it is "still locked by a contract for one of the korean mobile providers"
I dont know if thats try or not, but some apps that i have on my phone, still display korean language, even though i was able to change the default language and keyboard to English US
I currently live in the Netherlands, so when i try and access my voicemail from the Dialpad, the icon of the tape or wheel (or whatever u call it) next to the number 1, is not there. So when i keep pressing the number 1 button, it asks me to create a speed dial shortcut thing. I know it should ask me to enter my VM number, but it doesnt in my case
In relation to that, when i receive a call, and i reject the call, it automatically hangs up on the caller, not forward the caller to my VM
i have been struggeling with this for almost a month now (since i got the phone), i even emailed samsung support in Korea, they cant help.
I was able to root the phone successfully, no issues there, and i was able to install triangle away, and all that good stuff, but for the life of me, i cant find anywhere to fix the issue that i have.
i am really desperate to get this fixed, so any help on how to get rid of this whole crappy OLLEH thing on my phone, i would greatly apprecaite it.
thanks
Thanks
I've been working with an Olleh E250K in the US for a while. I had to unlock it and this worked for me.

Thanks for the info. But what I found out is that the phone was already unlocked, just it had that olleh stupid rom that displayed their logo at boot up. I managed to get rid of it by installing another rom. But the issue still is that I cant reject calls and get them to vm. Instead it hangs up on the caller. Still reaserching a solution for that.
Does urs do the same?

any feedback is highly appreciated.. This issue is driving me nuts now

Have you solved this yet?
When you root your device you can change it to anything you want. it's call Bootloader Animation.
There are some apps on the Play Store that will do this, and some guides online for how to make your own.
I changed mine to the game Portal boot animation instead of the olleh logo.
I, on the other hand, am in the situation you thought you were in. I have a Note 2 SHV-E250K that is SIM locked, and I need it unlocked before I leave for the USA (in 2 months from now).
any ideas on how to do this?

I tried your link, but it seems to be non-existent now. I also searched on the unlocksamsungonline site, as well as others, and I cannot seem to find the Note ii Korean olleh model on any of them. And sorry to contradict you, but I found rooting it to be very easy with CF Auto Root.
Might you or anyone else have some suggestions or advice for how I can Unlock the SIM and whatever else I need to do to prepare my Note2 for use in the USA?
Thank you in advance!

hey man..
no I have not solved it yet.. still with the VM issue, everything else is working/fixed
when I bought by phone from Korea, it was already unlocked, so unlocking this baby would be out of my knowledge.. sorry man
I heard though.. the K model, like urs and mine, are the most difficult to unlock in comparison to the S and the L
on a side note.. do they sell over there the digitizer and screen for the K model?
thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by digitizer, nor which location? from fixing a friend's iPhone, i remember that term being used for screens, which was her (my friend's) issue. I did a google search, and the wacom S-Pen came up it digitizer as well. If you are talking about Korea as the location, and the digitizer is, or it for S-Pen? then yes. a replacement for a cracked screen? I'm 99% sure they do. Screen protector? of course. if it was made for the samusng phone, it can easily be found in Korea at both the samsung service centers and the private fixing shops.
As for your boot animation logo;
Is your phone rooted?
- if yes, then download a Boot Animation app from google Play store, and choose one you like. most of the apps will work automatically. the samsung file system is slightly different than other android phones, so consistency is not guaranteed.
- if still yes, a second alternative is to make and inject a boot animation yourself. this guide should help get you started http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971828
-if no, then get it rooted so you can do these things. CF Auto Root worked best for me. find your device model here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ download the .tar and flash with Odin.
assuming you are in the USA, do you think an AT&T store or Sprint or (etc...) can unlock it for me when I arrive?

location I am referring to, you are in seoul
Digitizer, is what every phone has.. you have the screen, and right below it is the digitizer. For our phones, if you will replace the screen, you would have to replace the digitizer also (which normally are glued together)
my screen is cracked, and I need the screen with the digitizer. The Samsung repair place her say they don't have the digitzer/screen for my phone because the K model has the tv antenna, and it is only for the Korean model. The European model (I live in the Netherlands) does not have that antenna
as for the bootanimation.. that was fixed long time ago.. it was part of the ROM.. Stupid Olleh company added it as part of the ROM
So that got fixed, I now have the stock Samsung bootanimation, and the ROM is all English, nothing is Korean. Except that my phone is Korean
The issue I am having still is the voicemail forward when I reject the call.
I tried everything.. but that's cool.. I am getting close of finding a resolution to fix this issue.. That's why I waited that long and search all over this forum until I found a lot of answers to my questions, including for the issue that I am having
in regards to the digitizer/screen
they told me here that the only way is to get that kit from korea.. is there a way for you (since you are in Seoul) to find out for me please which place has those and if they would ship internationally ?
Thanks

Ah ok, I fully understand now.
Sorry I'm unsure of how to get the voicemail to work... I'm usually good at those kinds of things, but I haven't needed voicemail here, so i have yet to experience that...
Yes there are many locations that sell the screen and digitizer, shipping internationally is the hard part...
I think one of your best options would be to checkout a website called GMarket (korean version of amazon, has an english translation) im pretty sure they ship internationally, some of it is still in korean... you might need the help of a korean.
Another one is auction.co.kr but this one is all on korean last time i saw it.
Next time i head to an electronics market here, i'll ask for you and post back here if they can ship it to you.
thank you.. I will try those site, and I appreciate it if you can please, about checking an electronic store, or even a Samsung repair center.. just to make sure to get an original part for the phone, if you know what I mean
thanks

Hi, I hope this helps... I think you can flash at&t roms to shv e250s/l/k provided that you also flash JS kernel.
I can't post the link, but you can go ahead and google it.
Sent from my SHV-E250K using xda app-developers app
not just the sj kernel, but you CANT flash the modem, otherwise you will brick the phone.. so you would need to choose NO for modem

Couple software feature questions.

Hi all,
With my old Samsung Note 4 when receiving a phone while using an app it would just show a little pop up widget and allow me to either accept or reject the call. This was a nice feature and it didn’t knock me out of my app and take up the full screen if I was on an email etc... Does the Pixel 2 xl have this feature or does the incoming call take over the entire screen?
Also curious if the do not disturb mode is stock or if it allows the ability to block unknown numbers like the Samsung phones do?
How is the cell radio reception on the Verizon variant. I’m about to grab one to replace the Note 4.
Thanks for the help.

Call and Text from Tablet

I had the option when using my unlocked Note 10+ to call and text from my Tab S6. However when moving to the Galaxy FOLD, I no longer see that option available under the advanced features in the settings menu. lNot sure if it matters, but I have the AT&T FOLD variant. Any ideas?

AT&T adds (lots of stuff) and takes stuff out. Samsung call and messaging continuity competes with NumberSync which is why it's not on AT&T's Fold. Neither is Hiya's caller ID or spam protection. I have an AT&T Fold and the first thing I did was flash the unlocked Samsung U1 s/w on it. It's not that hard and there's a thread on it in this forum with the files to download.

Network Error issue, seeking help

Hello, I'm desperately seeking help to remedy this issue I'm having. I have unlocked Note 10+ on T-Mobile Network and ever since I got the device I been getting this "Network Error" pop up message dead on center of the screen.
It happens very randomly regardless of which app I'm using, on both wifi and mobile data. The error message pops up very briefly and disappears. Luckily it hasn't stopped me from doing daily tasks but it's extremely annoying.
These are things that I have already tried;
Factory reset, Network reset, brand new simcard, clear cache, returned the device for brand new replacement, uninstalled all 3rd party apps.
Nothing seems to help, I still get error message intermittently...
I'm out of ideas and clueless on how to go about it.
Anyone else on unlocked Note 10+ with T-Mobile experiencing same issue?
as you have tried everything else, maybe try with tm firmware or maybe contact tm tech support in case they can push some config settings

Thanks for your input. When I contacted tm, they told me since it's unlocked they can't do much about it....
If I flash to tm firmware would it cause an issue when I return the device to Samsung for Samsung upgrade?

That wasn't nice on part of tm, I also have U1 N10+ and I've never had problems switching sims for different networks. Have you tried using other provider's sim? Some tm secondary mvnos, I know to work well on my phone, will send you a free 1 month sim to try. I'm not going to spell its name(to avoid xda-free advertisement) but I'm very happy with its services(and super low prices)
What apps are you using? And have you disabled anything? You say you factory reset it, but did you start to install something again? And it happening with a 2nd device is odd
