Does the US Unlocked model (SM-G950U1) support Sprint's LTE band 41? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I've seen conflicting info online, and can't remember the dialer code to check what bands the phone actually supports. I bought the US unlocked S8 a few weeks ago at Best Buy, and have a Sprint SIM in it now. I'm hoping it supports band 41, but I'm not sure. Any info you can provide would be great!

Great! Do you know what the code is to see what LTE bands the phone supports? I remember it was used back when it first came out to check for LTE-U

Yeah I saw that, but then in Samsung's website it says under specs that it doesn't support band 41, so I just wanted confirmation from those that have tried it personally.

I am thinking of getting the Samsung unlocked S8 for the BF deal They are running when you trade in your phone.
How do you like using the unlocked version on Sprint? Anything that doesn't work that you wish you had? Any issues that you have noticed?

no visual voicemail kind of sucks but other than that it has all i need

I can live with out visual voice mail. Have you tried sideloading the app?
Does SMS and MMS work ? What about VoLTE?

I've tried using my US Unlocked U1 on Sprint a few times before giving up. They always send me a simcard, it doesn't work, then they send me another that doesn't work. Ended up on Verizon and it's working without issue.

The screenshot like this does not convince me to believe that it's a t-mobile variant. Please attach an image showing the phone connected to the T-Mobile network with the word "T-Mobile". Thanks!
Curious, if you are able to make calls with it, how is the call quality? "Robotic" or digital sounding? Or is it more smooth and landline-ish?
And if you can connect, how is the mobile network reception compared to other devices you've had in your area? Does it exhibit signs of those good radios that Motorola is famous for? Or has Google interfered with that?

He flashed the T-Mobile software to his phone, but has an AT&T SIM card. You can either take his and my word for it, or choose to not believe us. Up to you.
The phone overall has great cellular radios. People say I sound clear on all calls. I am connected to ATT network as Matt has said but I did flash the T-Mobile software to this device.

Amazon MF3 Firmware

Anyone bought one from Amazon recently and received one with the older firmware? I just bought one today and am really hoping it doesn't come with MF3 (I may just return it if it does)

The longer people wait after the MF3 update came out, to get a device - the more likely you are to get one with it on. Getting one this far out, odds are high that it's going to have MF3. And seemingly, to me, returning it in an attempt to get one without MF3, you're SOL and it'll be a waste of your time and money.
It sucks, having MF3, but we'll get past it!
MF3 shouldn't be a HUGE problem anymore thanks to the new SafeStrap recovery, which works on MF3.

He never said he bought it from AT&T that I saw. Amazon is like eBay. There's got to be a hundreds of resellers of the S4.

Wound up swapping up to a 32GB, which came MDL. So I guess you increase your chances by buying a 32GB model, since they don't turn over as many of those. Probably holds true for any retailer.

4.4 Update unlocks LTE band 4 1700 mhz & Stock Tethering

I noticed that after the update to KitKat I'm picking LTE signal when that didn't happen before, I'm so happy .
As you know I'm in Mexico so I'm don't know which US carrier uses the same LTE band but I think it's at&t as we use the same bands.
tl;dr KitKat update unlocked LTE for At&t and T-Mobile
Edit:
It also unlocks stock tethering, also wasnt active before:
The previous update had band 4 support as well. Was using it on T-Mobile

FYI I think att only uses band 4 in a few places. So most AT&T users will likely still not get lte.

This. And again this has been active since the previous 4.2.2 build. Stock tethering has been unlocked for anyone with limited data plans since the beginning. If you have unlimited data it's still going to try to make you subscribe for $30. If you're on another carrier, it doesn't do this check. Hasn't for ages.

FYI - if you previously had Verizon unlimited and took a 2 year extension, you may or may not have tethering. I was offered a 6gb limit for the price of 2gb, but my plan does not have tethering enabled. However their new standard tiered plans now include tethering.

You can call them and they'll put it on for you at no charge. It's part of the block C agreement. All unlim plans will pay for it (unless you've got some promo plan still active or some shiz of course). Anyone on tiered data gets it for free.

/shrug. Just telling you that Band 4 was unlocked on the "95" radio as well for 4.2.2 . If you had a bastardized build where you had a partial flash and you were running 4.2.2 with the "90" radio then yes, you wouldn't have had band 4 active. This situation did affect a few people.

I've stated in previous threads and this one that LTE has been functional for Tmobile and HSPA+ (in refarmed areas) for about 3-4 months now. Whenever that last update happened before 4.4.

Are you able to make phone call and send text messages on LTE. Cause I'm on T-Mobile also with LTE and android 4.4. It won't let me make call and send text message. Before with 4.2 it just automatic switch from LTE to 3g to make it instead of saying " roaming indicator off" then disconnected. So I have to manually switch it before calling anybody. Pretty annoying.
If you also have 4.4 can you give me link to get the firmware. Thanks

Works fine for me on my TMO SIM.

No signal and recovery not working

I flashed a international ROM on my 801 yesterday and it seemed fine. I rebooted the phone and then lost my signal + phone keeps rebooting. Backups do the same thing. Made a mistake wiping everything. Was able to use the LG tool to download a stock ROM but for some reason it still boots up 4.4 and with no signal then reboots. Stock recovery just boots for a few seconds then reboots. Thanks for any help.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I tried all these and nothing has worked. The KitKat Rom keeps coming up even when I use the LG Tool to flash a stock Rom. I notice around 80% the phone reboots while flashing the software. I wonder if I should try and power the phone off when it does that so maybe it will take? Probably a dumb idea...Have no signal or WiFi and the stock recovery just boots up for a second. The Rom stays on sometimes for a min or two so I can put small files into the storage. Not sure how to get twrp back on. If I do that maybe I can flash my modem back up and be good to go. Probably dreaming though. lol

I had the same issue and this problem makes me a little weary of rooting the G2 again, although I was able to go to stock unrooted without issues.. I've never had an issue like this the Samsung phones I've rooted.

LOL good luck with the Note 3. With LTE 800 coming out there is no way I would be getting a single band LTE phone at this point.

Yea like I said I thought you left the G2 before and I guess came back. lol I have G2 waiting for me at UPS but just wanted to bring the one I have back to life. I loved the Note 2 but decided I didn't want a huge phone anymore.

I hope you enjoy the phone. It is awesome.
Sorry you didn't enjoy your G2, which is also an amazing phone.

Still want to try and fix my phone. Trying to figure out how to get twrp or and recovery back on my phone. As of now the stock recovery just boot loops. Phone powers up for a min or two and I can get small files into the internal storage. No signal or WiFi.
I'm having the same issue with my Verizon G2. I attempted to restore to stock but am getting that same error in LG FlashTool. Any suggestions??

can we load ATT build onto TMO variant?

I bought LG G6 from tmobile and got it unlocked. realized that VoLTE & VoWiFi will not work and also having issues getting SMS. wondering if we can load ATT build/firmware onto H872 (TMO variant)
Probably not a good idea since we don't have root and the hardware is different.

I believe the modem/radio is slightly different as the Tmobile version does not support all "bands" of the ATT network. Past that a more experienced member will have to give you better details.

my understanding is that once phone is unlocked, all the bands should be opened as well as the HW itself supports all NA carrier bands.
Have you set the correct apn?
