Issues with Korean Models used overseas - G3 General

Hi guys just purchased the LG G3 f400k and noticed that there are issues with the smart notice feature whilst used out of Korea. I noticed it uses ''Kweather'' as a weather supplier (Im guessing this is Korean) as apposed to Accuweather like the international model. When the korean model is used overseas, ive noticed this with a few models the smart notice feature does not work at all.. weather alerts will not pop up or anything about your location. It displays the weather however but wont warn you about about alert cards or anything except that your battery is low. Minor issue but just letting people know who decide to buy the Korean model over the International model. Anyone else with this issue?

Not too sure on this one. I am using the F400S on AT&T, and smart notice weather cards are working fine for me... (also joined to kweather, and not accuweather). Warned me that tonight might get chilly and rain... suggested I dress for it. (Thanks G3 )

Yeah me too, I cant add location as it says its already added but is not visible and when trying automatic search it say cant add ... So wanted to use the smart notice. Let see if anything can be done in this regards please share

There you go I wasn't crazy. I sold my korean version and will be buying the international version.. it also has call waiting which the Korean models don't have.. and display has improved apparently. .

I have the f400k and have a option to put the call on hold. In the menu, there is a option to add a caller. Isn't that call waiting.

Are you able to make video calls?
If so how did you do it?

Toggle 3g/2g

Hey guys,
I have been looking several days for an option to toggle 3g <-> 2g but it simply isn't there where it supposed to be.
After discovering this article I'm wondering why this feature is missing in all wp7 samsung devices.
I really miss this option because I get at home barely 1 bar on 3g and thats not very good for the battery.
I thought that OEMs aren't allowed to customize the os on this level but why is this option not visible ?
Regards
I always thought that this option has been disabled by my provider because "3" doesn't have 2G at all. All GSM data is transferred via Roaming with A1 mobilkom.
Don't know, I've realised that my Omnia7 doesn't have this option but I don't miss it though.
worth a ponder

My boyfriend's Trophy has the 3g toggle located in settings. He's using vodafone. My omnia however is missing the feature. HTC vs samsung or carrier difference?
According to Orange it is missing on all Omnia 7s as it's missing from the Samsung software.
Thanks for your answers but nevertheless I'd like to hear why samsung did exclude this feature on their wp7 phones because I couldn't barely find any information about it on the internet.
It's incomprehensible and there we see that samsung failed once again with "their" software. Toggle 2g is an option that I really won't miss specially in areas where I have bad signal. I'm going to contact samsung to see what they say about it.

Would be interesting to know, but don't get your hopes high...I cannot remember any time Samsung answered a support question for me
My Omnia 7 has this setting. I have a 16 GB device from T-Mobile Germany running on o2.
My Omnia 7 also has this setting (Optus stock [unlocked] 8GB version).
Settings > Mobile Network
What I LOVE about these settings is that whenever my phone tries to access the internet and 3GB/Data is turned OFF, it won't force it on. Infact, unless you have Wi-Fi turned on, it will just say it's unable to access a data connection.
More than I can say for Windows Mobile, which always turned it on no matter what you told it to do.

So it's not Samsung's idea but, more likely, our provider's idea to cut this setting.

G900F - Voice HD - AMR-wb

Hello guys!
I've been looking around for this but I can't get a clue on it.
Is there anyway to confirm if amr-wb is on? My csc has the flags and the operator supports it, but I can't be sure if it's working.
On previous phones (like the S4) the service menu *#0011#* works but on the S5, after inserting the number 1 it takes takes me nowhere.
Thanks for your tips!
I too am interested. Any ideas?

Hi!
I think that it works well on three uk, check it using *#0011# you should see AMR-WB xx.xKb/s. Usualy it only shows up when on hsdpa (H+ network).
Say something!

I'm with Three UK and when i use that code (Service Mode) i see no mention of AMR-WB. Speech version is showing as FR FR FR and occasionally below that it shows AMR Undef but it keeps appearing and disappearing. I've been trying to figure out for ages about the HD Voice as when i call my friend who also has a S5 and is with Three, it definately doesn't sound like HD voice quality like it did on my S3.
Today I found this (here in Portugal)

But I'm flying to the UK today and I'll check that on 3.
Did you check your phone when in the UK?
Right now I'm the UK and both me and my wife have AMR-WB in 3 network...
I'm having exactly the same problem in Portugal with Vodafone... A friend have HD Voice and I don't have... It's somehow related to the SIM Card, or network profile I guess...

When you call your wife does it display a HD symbol on the screen to indicate HD voice?
No, it doesn't... I never saw that symbol even on other phones... But I can tell you that we can ear the difference on the conversation.

Cheers. Maybe it's just me then but it certainly doesn't sound HD voice when im calling and if it is then its nowhere near as good as it was on the S3. Reason i asked about the HD symbol is when i was googling i came across a few reports of t-mobile users who stated that when they were using HD voice, there was a HD symbol on the screen indicating it was on. If this is true it would seem strange that it shows for some networks and not others.

WIFI Calling now available

This morning I received an ota that enables wifi calling. It's about time AT&T gave us this feature. Not sure what else was in the ota but I'm sure they patched the security holes that everyone has been talking about lately. There's no information available yet but as soon as I find it I'll post it. Screenshots show ota software version and wifi calling.

Thanks for letting me know I never would have noticed that since I use a 3rd party launcher I'll have to check it out [emoji41]
Edit: The app drawer is still not available on mine but that's ok I never use the stock launcher anyway

AT&T cloud backup for SMS/MMS with default messaging app. It was syncing all day on my BFs G5 until I turned it off after work. He said it kept killing his battery. (I'd hate to see what the data is on his line too thankfully he was home on Wifi the majority of the day) It completely borked MMS on my S7 edge when AT&T pushed the update, had to install Google messenger to get a picture to come through or be received. It probably failed 70-80% of the time. May want to keep an eye on that if you use the default messaging app.

Has anyone figured out if you can disable this entirely unnecessary and incredibly annoying persistent notification about "mobile data not enabled" now? I didn't want to update and now I'm forced to deal with this ****. No.

Hi there, just purchased a new S8 today form an Asian electonics market. Seems to have some form of modifled XFINITY mobile software on it as the phone boots with the XFINITY logo and the carrier says XFINITY even though I am on a local network.
I have posted some info below on the software version but would be usfull to see if anybody had seen a version like this before and if they had any issues with it.
Happy to post any other details if it helps

Download Phone INFO(Samsung app) from play store and it will have more info and also find out exact model #. By the screenshot I see it says G950U and it seems to be US model.

Thanks guys, see below for screenshots from the app:
Seems to look fine, but curious what is tricking the phone to work with another sim but still displaying XFINITY as the carrier.
Looks like you bought a phone that was originally from Xfinity Mobile(us carrier). Pics aren't loading (might be my phone tbh), so can't say much more lol.

List of all sysui_qs_tiles (Quick Setting Toggles) (Note 4)?

First thing I noticed on my T-Mobile Stock Note 4 Running 6.0.1 was that the "Flashlight" and "MobileHotspot" Quick Settings Tiles were removed. Now I've already gone through other threads and found an app that allowed me to restore them.
Their respective names are TorchLight and WiFiHotspot.
Now I'm not sure what to exactly call these besides sysui_qs_tiles, but I've found several other tiles that work on my Note 4. Namely SmartScroll, AirView, and AirGesture.
Is there a list out there that has all possible Quick Setting Tiles for android 6.0? I was surprised to find that Smart Scroll was still available in android 6.0 on the Note 4, it does not even show up within my settings and yet this Quick Setting Tile lets me activate it. I'm curious as to what other tiles are hidden but compatible with the Note 4.
Here is my current Quick Setting Item's:
Code:
Wifi;MobileData;SilentMode;AutoRotate;TorchLight;Bluetooth;Location;PowerSaving;PersonalMode;WiFiHotspot;WifiCalling;NetworkBooster;UltraPowerSaving;MultiWindow;AirplaneMode;AllShareCast;Nfc;SideKey;Sync;SmartStay;DormantMode;CarMode;TouchSensitivity;AirView;AirGesture;SmartScroll;

Great post
It is a lot harder than I thought it would be to get a list like this. I asked 2 people to click the google play link, install Settings Database editor in an instant, click open, select secure table menu top right and scroll to sysui and copy the long list of words. Ended up spending more time than it would take trying to get something so easy... and with no way of having them screw anything up.... ADB will never exist in their reality. I should know bettter. Anyway I am in the middle of discussions between samsung and VMC as to why I receive a notification that my phone supports wifi calling, how I signed up for it via a shortcut app and am fully registered, how is it possible to simply choose to not allow thousands of your customers this feature simply because we won't waste money on a new phone? Nothing to do with monthlly package.... yeah this is happening to a lot of people....
so here are mine. The last 2 I tried to add hoping to make a toggle. no go. I am scheduled for a call tomorrow from a non virgin employee. Probably they can enable it as an individual entry and the call center doesn't have the feature to enable the feature no A5 user is worthy of. Not until thousands more start calling.
Is it possible that Samsung is fed up with carriers dictating how their device operates, spread millions of A5's and lit a fire? I mean, technically every single A5 owner in Canada gets a big pop up saying they have this feature and the carrier must either allow it, or admit they cripple your device as punishment for not getting one you don't even need. I put my tiles in and the screenshot that could change a lot very soon as more people figure out what's going on here. It is one thing for a device to become obsolete, but when it is flat out stolen, Samsung sure did let us know who it was without saying it at all. They all suck anyway.
xda has already saved 2 of my friends hundreds of dollars and myself.... same with current phone usage. No carrier or manufacturer can do that. It's like hating your wife.
My tiles: (pics in panel and other 2 from wifi a5 fiasco)
Wifi,MobileData,Location,Flashlight,Bluetooth,RotationLock,SoundMode,custom(com.samsung.android.smartmirroring/.tile.SmartMirroringTile),custom(com.android.settings/com.samsung.android.settings.qstile.SecAccountTiles),custom(com.samsung.android.app.aodservice/.settings.AODTileService),custom(com.google.android.gms/.nearby.discovery.ui.DiscoveryTileService),custom(com.pranavpandey.rotation/.service.RotationTileService),custom(com.android.nfc/com.samsung.android.nfc.quicktile.NfcTile),custom(projekt.substratum/.services.tiles.SubstratumTile),custom(com.samsung.android.oneconnect/.external.DeviceVisibilityTile),custom(com.android.settings/com.samsung.android.settings.qstile.PowerSavingTile),BlueLightFilter,AirplaneMode,Hotspot,Dnd,WorkMode,WifiHotspot,WifiCalling,NetworkBooster
Interesting but using that app it seems the toggles which are added arent permanent. As soon as you untoggle them the whole quick panel collapses, and if you open up the stock editor they are deleted.
