It is a Samsung Variant based issue.
I have the SM-A505G variant and US carriers even though the phone is provisioned for VoLTE will only let calls go through on UMTS/HSPDA/HSPUA 3.5G . Only the U variant will work on VoLTE. I believe the G variant firmware will only be compatible with Latin America carriers even though they have US LTE bands. Weird.

I also have the SM-A505G variant and am using it successfully in the USA with VOLTE on the T-Mobile Network.

The U variant is officially distributed in the US so it should work with VOLTE in US/N.A.. Samsung or some carriers probably block other variants from accessing VOLTE through a whitelist. Probably for product segmentation.

Does htc 10 support TTA VOLTE CODE?

I want to use VOLTE in korea, So I have to know my htc 10(unlocked ver) support TTA VOLTE CODE.
Does HTC 10 support TTA VOLTE??
TTA VOLTE is code which makes VOLTE available.

You need your firmware and your carrier to support it. Unlocked model of HTC 10 supports VoLTE. If your carrier does then you are good to go.

I already know unlocked htc 10 support after nougat. But I searched , To use VoLTE in korea I need some code(or type) in firmware.
My carrier (Sk telecom) doesn't support international VoLTE code(type). They use their code not international code.(I don't know exactly).
International VoLTE include all VoLTE types? If yes, then I can use VoLTE.!

If your carrier doesn't support VoLTE, then you won't be able to get it. I'm on Telus in Canada with a US Unlocked device. US Unlocked supports VoLTE, but my carrier only supports it for the newer iPhone models. So I don't get it and you won't either, unless I/you change carriers or our carriers decide to support it. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
EDIT: I misread your post. And don't understand it to tell the truth. VoLTE should either be supported or not. If they don't use International/WWE code (?) then try US Unlocked firmware instead.

As someone who lives currently in Korea and understands this issue on a very real level (lolㅠㅠ),
most carriers in the world use a VoLTE standard defined by the 3GPP. What Google claims regarding baking VoLTE into Marshmallow is according to the 3GPP standard. This is why I can buy a phone in Spain and take it to Germany and use it no problem (for the most part).
But Korean carriers established their own VoLTE standard called TTA-VoLTE before 3GPP could create an international standard. So any phones bought in Korea likely won't work with VoLTE abroad, and vice-versa (save for some exceptions).
In terms of carrier, the key exception is LG U+; since their network depends exclusively on LTE and CDMA, for BYOD customers (해외구매폰) they have to support the 3GPP standard on top of the TTA-VoLTE standard (see link below). There are some success stories of people taking their Hong Kong phones and using it on LG U+, their LatAm Samsung phones, etc.
In terms of phones, iPhones and some Google phones, some Sony phones (flashed with Korean ROMs), and some LG phones supposedly support TTA-VoLTE (check 2nd link).
My advice? If you have the phone with you, either take it to LG U+, see if they can register the phone as "OM-Phone" (Open Model), and see if VoLTE works; or just live without VoLTE as I have been doing for the past 2 years (ㅠㅠ).

Galaxy S9 LTE support

Hey guys, currently live in the UK and am looking to purchase the S9, the model that catches my eye is the SM-G965FD*(Asian Model) as I've read the dual sum variant supports dual sim LTE/4G (Both sims can connect to 4G) and hopefully this is simultaneous like the Mate 10 Pro is.
Now I have a question, I know the phone will work on 4G here as I've checked the bands, but I'll be visiting Argentina soon for a month or so and I am wondering if it works there. As I've read that North and South America uses a type of LTE called AWS, I don't believe this is used in the UK or Europe.
Just wondering so I don't arrive there with a local SIM and be dissapointed. Also can someone confirm this variant does support Dual SIM 4G/LTE as the global variant is 4G/LTE in SIM slot 1 and only 3G-2G in SIM 2.
Cheers!

N9750/DS (dual Sim) exynos chip, flash tmo csc?

I'm in a market for dual Sim note 10 plus from overseas. Possible to flash that phone to use tmobile csc (enable volte, wifi calling, etc) without unlocking bootloader or trigger Knox?
As far as I know, the 9750 is snapdragon variant, not exynos

Not without root.
If your goal is VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling on T-Mobile, then there is no need to flash the CSC because T-Mobile has opened up their network for unlocked device. I am getting those functionalities on my dual sim S8+ and also Note 10+ without flashing anything.

So basically call tmobile and ask them to add the imei number into their system? What about Samsung Pay? Will it work without csc?
Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
Actually, both of my phone works without calling in. I think they opened it up sometime last month. Samsung Pay is going to be dependent on your firmware. I am using Australian firmware on S8+ and Taiwan firmware on my Note 10+ which allows me to use Samaung Pay in US (without the rewards program). If you root and flash CSC, Samaung Pay is gone forever due to tripping Knox.

So I'm looking into the same, want dual SIM on T-Mobile service but with Samsung pay and like the us shop Samsung app.
From your last response seems like pay will work but no other Samsung apps like for cashback and award

hi,
how is your experience in term of data connection with Note 10+ exynos on T-Mobile network ? when i check details specification of Note 10+ exynos (N975f) on sammobile, it is missing a lot some of T-Mobile's LTE radio frequencies, https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-10-plus/specs/SM-N975F/ . even way less than Note 8 exynos LTE bands .
is information on sammobile site incorrect or am i looking at wrong place ?
thank you !

I don't know if the F variant has fewer bands than the N variant but my N is only missing I think band 66 for Tmobile.
Also I'm not sure about wifi calling since that is not something locked down in their end anyway. The device needs to have software and CSC settings to enable it, both of which are absent on at least the N variant and historically F variant as well since neither device was meant for the USA market.
VoLTE works for me, but no wifi calling since both pieces are missing.

I do not have the Exynos Note 10+, I have the Snapdragon Note 10+ but it is also missing similar T-Mobile bands (66,71). You can check the LTE bands on the Samsung UK website and see that the phone covers majority of the T-Mobile bands. Due to the missing bands and lack of proper carrier aggregation support, you might experience slower speed and/or poor reception in rural area. But general usage is not reallg affected unless you are downloading a large file or constantly streaming in 4K.

thank you for your confirmation. i feel upgrading to N975f on t-mobile network will like be in a situation you pay more for less capable device. but it will depends on where you are going to use it most.
OOT, i am wondering why samsuck doesn't make one device with unlockable BL using exynos/SD to rule most (if not all) LTE frequencies, i.e like newer iphone A2104, to capture more customers if there is no technical boundaries

on my Note8 n950fd/s, wifi calling & HD calling (VoLTE) work fine after CSC mod using tekhd CSC DETONATOR INT, tested on t-mobile and their relevant MVNOs (Metro, Simple). so it is just a matter of CSC configuration, isn't it ?

I am guessing if Samsung can have their way, they would push their Exynos chipset everywhere but due to carrier restrictions they end up having Qualcomm in the US and China. I just wish they did all Qualcomm phones like Sony and have carrier aggregation tables from all of the regions available. I believe this is also a problem with iPhone as well but its less relevant for US users - iPhone that can do band 71 does not cover band 28, and only the HK version of the iPhone have physical dual sim.
The good news is that T-Mobile just recently open up their VoLTE, VoWifi to unlocked international so there is no need to jump through hoops (root and flashing CSC) to get those services. Just hoping AT&T would follow before they shutdown their 3G network.

Not just CSC config. If you look at his pack (his is what got me started on the N variant patch I made for the Note 8) there are a few Tmobile system apps that are taken from a US Tmobile rom. The only difference between the F and N in that sense (and the reason his zip wouldn't work on N devices) was that the F had a couple general vowifi files that were absent on the N, and for some reason the N's included digital TV system interfered with the VPN connection that Tmobile wifi calling creates. My N patch basically took the CSC files, the same Tmobile files as TeKHD's patch and those additional framework binaries which were already present in F firmware and deleted the Korean TV thing to stop it from blocking the wifi calling connection.

The reason they don't bring it here is that their exynos modem doesn't support CDMA (Verizon and sprint), whereas Qualcomm's do. Most of the world runs on GSM but since we've moved on to LTE and 5G hopefully this will no longer be an issue in the future.
Also, Tmobile didn't ever have those locked. My Note 8 got VoLTE stock, just no wifi calling for the above mentioned reason. Also for that reason you still need the Tmobile CSC patches to add those missing software pieces even on Pie.

wow... thank you for the education.
I noticed that the CSC mod is for the note 9, Can anyone please direct me to a tutorial on how to set the scs for t-mobile on my note 10+, sm-n975f/ds?
This is the first I was able to find anything about the CSC mod using tekhd CSC DETONATOR INT. Thanks for mentioning it here!
On the Note 10 + (SM-N9750/DS) VOLTE and WiFi Calling work on the stock CSC (BRI or TGY).
Ok thanks for letting me know bro!
Sorry But I just looked through the CSC list and did not see anything listed that contains the phrase (BRI OR TGY)
Sorry I am such and noob and probably do not know what your referring to, ok
I noticed that a few the oem csc have (t-mobile) none are English would anyone of these still work? I am assuming yes, especially because before I put the Brazilian csc I remember glancing at the current firmware that was on the phone and it was not t-mobile, I don't remember exactly I think it was UK Vodafone and it still worked until I got to Brazil I suppose it started to malfunction because I did not have a Brazilian Sim card to use lol

In About Phone under Software Information. Here's mine. It was originally a BRI device but I flashed the TGY CSC on it hence is says TGY, TGY, TGY, BRI. Wifi calling and VOLTE work on either CSC.
Thanks for the reply.
Hmmmmmm. But on sammobile I still do not see TGY OR BRI
May I please ask one last question, where did you get this csc file from?

S20 (0 - Hong Kong variant or F/DS - Dual SIM international) in Canada

Hi,
Does anyone have the 0 or F/DS variant in Canada and do any of the following features work for you? If they do or don't please also post your carrier (I'm on Telus).
- WiFi Calling
- LTE-A
- VoLTE
- e-SIM
Looking at getting the Hong Kong variant since e-SIM isn't even a working function in Canada or the USA for that matter when the iPhone and other phones get it. Every year I push myself closer and closer to just getting an iPhone. Boot loader completely locked down, check. Can't root, check. VoLTE doesn't work unless it's a carrier phone, check. No e-SIM, check. Like what's the point of an Android anymore? All the above features work on an iPhone no matter what carrier (or country for that matter) you bought it from. Samsung is a mush of CSC files, hardware variants, LTE bands...
Thanks,

No such thing as a perfect device, likely never will be. Best option is to list feature priorities then decide. i have the Hong Kong variant on T-mobile USA. Dual SIM which eliminates the need for an eSIM, bootloader is unlocked, can root the device. WiFi Calling and VoLTE function but no Carrier Aggeration (LTE-A). I wouldn't consider the F/DS variant, it has the Exynos SoC. Not an iPhone fan either, not impressed with their devices or ecosystem.
Thanks for the reply, its nice to see at least VoLTE and WiFi calling work (at least on T-Mobile in the USA). Anyone here on Telus? LTE-A isn't a priority considering a single band is typically fast enough for me these days, if I'm on a lower band it's for a reason (like distance). Does your dual SIM phone still support e-SIM? It's nice just to scan a plan and get going verses hunting the airport / local stores for a SIM.
Priority for me goes:
1) WiFi Calling
2) VoLTE
3) e-SIM
4) LTE-A

eSIM isn't available unless you aquire an International Variant with the Exynos SoC. I'm not aware of any Dual SIM devices which support eSIM. IMHO you have to really want the eSIM to sacrifice a device with a vastly inferior Exynos SoC.

No no, dual SIM would be best in that case. Anyone in Canada can comment on the above?
Does Wifi-Calling work on both SIMs or SIM/eSIM on the S2, if they are from a different region?
Both my providers allow Wifi-Calling abroad.
Can anybody please confirm?
I have a Telus S20+ only support VoLTE, no WIFI-Calling. The reason I get this phone because of esim such a big disappointment.
I have Hongkong variant s20 5G (sm-g9810) using in Sri Lanka.
The phone supports physical dual SIM , dual 5G, VoLTE , VolWIFI.
Only disappointment with Hongkong variant is the lack of e-sim support and Call recording feature.

Questions about G9880 and T-Mobile

I have a bootloader unlocked, rooted Galaxy S20 Ultra SM-G9880 (Hong Kong version) that I am using on T-Mobile. However, I had some doubts about how it interacts with the various bands.
The phone does not support some of T-Mobile's LTE bands, and it does not seem to support any of their current 5G bands. Is there any way to change this with CSC changes or any other trickery?
Would AT&T be better for any of this?
When I use the Samsung band selector app, I see that NR B41 is supported. This is the Sprint spectrum that T-Mobile is repurposing, correct? Does that mean additional 5G and LTE coverage once the rollout is complete?
Another user was having problems enabling carrier aggregation. Is there a way of doing this?

You can't change to a US CSC on your device. Some users are reporting 5G works only on SIM2. Carrier Aggregation isn't compatible in the US with the SM-G9880. I have the Hong Kong variant on T-mobile and 4G LTE works fine.

Would you happen to know if our imei works with 5g on t mobile? I just switched last month from att. On att, you would have to call and give an att imei in order for 5g to work and I'm wondering if t mobile is the same way or if it works out of the box with our imei.
Also, I have an SD card and seems like I cannot have a Sim on slot 2 and an SD at the same time, do you happen to know if an esim will get 5g?

That's a question for T-mobile. It's not a question of your IMEI, it's whether or not your device's available 4G and 5G bands are compatible with T-mobile. I don't know what model you have but if it's a US model eSim isn't available on S20 devices. Only Exynos devices have eSim capabilities.

I have the same model that's been on topic... The SM-G9880...
SM-G9880 isn't eSim enabled, only Exynos variants offer this. 5G may work, take it to your local T-mobile store and see if they can set it up. Often times information coming from a CSR over the phone isn't reliable. If it worked with AT&T on SIM 1 T-mobile it MAY work as well however many users have stated it only works on SIM 2. Even though T-mobile's 5G network has a larger coverage area they can't match the speed of AT&T's mmWave network.

I know that some people were trying to enable eSIM on rooted Snapdragon S20 Ultra devices. Did anything ever happen with that?

If you root the device I suppose it's possible to override an eSim block on the SM-G9880 but I'm not aware of anyone achieving it. The only Snapdragon variant which offers eSim at this time is the Galaxy Fold. I don't understand what the value of eSim is on a Dual SIM device. Even if you travel to a different country it's a simple choice, keep the SD Card in or use both SIM's and rely on internal memory for storage.
Did anyone try using BRI CSC to see if CA works in the USA?
