Hi! Is anyone else seeing this?
VoLTE had finally been fixed and was working fine in Android 9.
But it stopped working (different symptoms) when I upgraded to Android 10 via the 6-MAY-20 System Update.
More info...4G LTE data works fine.
Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Networks -> "VoLTE calls" feature is visible, and I enabled it (says "Use LTE data networks for calls whenever possible").
But whenever I dial, it switches from LTE to 1xRTT.
Phone is an unlocked Verizon S9 on Tracfone's Bring Your Own Phone plan using Verizon's network. Stock ROMs, not rooted.
Doesn't matter if WiFi is on or off.
Under "SIM card status", "Mobile data network type" is LTE. But "Mobile voice network type" is "1xRTT" and I don't know why.
Appreciate any help!
P.S. I wonder if this new problem might also only occur with MVNOS as apparently was the case in the "For those who use Verizon MVNO's VoLTE Now works after Update!" thread in this forum?
I did not find a solution for Android 10. Since I received no replies, I’m guessing that this may not be a widespread problem. E.g. perhaps it only affects MVNOs such as Tracfone.
Fortunately, the locked bootloader did allow me to use Odin to downgrade from the May 6, 2020 Android 10 (G960USQS7DTE1) version to the Nov 26, 2019 final Android 9 version (G960USQS7CSK5). I wish I could go back to an even older version because I used to only have half the idle battery drain last year. But the locked bootloader does not seem to permit it.
After downgrading back to Android 9, “SIM card status -> Mobile voice network type” is now LTE instead of 1xRTT, and VoLTE works again. Hopefully there will be a solution and I will be able to upgrade again some time. Please let me know if you have any info on this problem.

I see that G960USQU3BRJ5 is Android 8.0.0 with build date Mon, 15 Oct 2018 09:34:58. The problems I am aware of have been with Android 9 and 10. So hopefully VoLTE will work fine on your phone as it is. (As an aside,
your battery life may be better than the recent builds of Android 9 and 10 too.)
The details of enabling VoLTE seems to vary by carrier, but should not be hard to find with an Internet search. Good luck!

I need to know if I can flash this phone to run some other firmware allowing me to use my phone with GSM. I want to use it on StraightTalk but so far they claim my phone isn't able to be used with the bring your own phone, here are the phones spec's
Samsung Galaxy S6
Model Number: SM-920P (Sprint, unlocked)
software version: G920PVPS4CPJ1
Hardware version: G920P.02
Android version: 6.0.1
Android security patch level: october 1 2016
Build number: MMB29K.G920PVPS4CPJ1
Sprint won't let me use the phone on their network because it has been unlocked and they wont re-lock it to their network. So I am trying to get it to work on the Straight Talk network, I think it's my only option. I have a ATT sim card activated and working right now that fits into the S6 but it wont make phone calls, but will work in my other Straight Talk phone. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I am new to this forum and I just bought a Samsung S9. I live in Norway but I wanted the US version since this has the FM radio enabled and its supposed to be more energy efficient also. So now I have a unlocked US version (SM-G960U) which works well with my carrier Telenor.
Now I found out that this does not have the VoLTE (4G calling) function for some strange reason. As I mentioned, its unlocked but when starting the phone,the startup screen shows "Sprint". I'm thinking this has something to do with it.
I would very much like to get the VoLTE function working on this phone. Can I install a "neutral" firmware so as to get this working, or what?
Any help here will be greatly appreciated.
I'm in the US on a Sprint S8 (until Friday) and Sprint doesn't support VoLTE in my city. Yes, I know it's 2019....... That's more than likely why it's not working for you.
No VoLTE for this phone SM-G960U

I just acquired a new unlocked Galaxy Note 10+ SM-N975U1 a week ago from the Microsoft Store. I got it working on the T-Mobile network without issues except for firmware upgrades. The device automatically downloaded & installed about 5 upgrades but stopped when showing:
Software update information:
Current version: N975U1UEU3CTC9 / N975U1OYM3CTC9 / N975U1UEU3CTC9
Security patch level: April 1, 2020
From what I can tell, this seems to mean that I am running Android 10, but not OneUI 2.5.
I'd like to flash a later security patch level and get the OneUI 2.5 update. Is SamMobile.com the best place to get the latest firmware? If so, should I choose the latest "USA (T-Mobile (TMB)" option even though this is not a T-Mobile locked device? Or, is there a better option to select?
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone
I bought an S22 with model number S901U (carrier locked T-mobile) from overseas in Dubai that I received unlocled in someway but was stuck on October 2022 security patch and android 12. It says it is up to date and refuses to find newer versions (no updates detected or pushed).
I manually updated the software to the february security patch and android 13 using sam mobile site and odin.
(I used the CSC that matched the device that was TMB/XAA)
After the update, the software version became ASR/XAA,XAA/XAA.
So the first question, what does this ASR stand for, I couldn't find it in any CSC abbreviations.
Secondly, the TMB is not shown, so does this mean that I will start receiving OTA updates directly from samsung?
(From what I understood, the phone is not receiving updates because it is the carrier locked version that has no connection/relation to the carrier, so will this software version change affect this).
After the update, I didn't detect any faults or problems so far, the device is still carrier unlocked and works fine till now.
Any help in explaining the situation will be much appreciated.
