General SM-G9980DS - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Got my 512GB on 27th. Came from S10+.
My Quick reviews after 5days :
The silicon cover is soo bulky with spen.
Battery life is great. Last me a day with light gaming.
All night mode pic are sharp.
100X Zoom looks good compare with my Canon 5DM3 400MM with digital crop.
CAmera AI is kinda AI
Samsung UI not laggy like any previous version of Galaxies.
Phone is kinda heavy.
The system partition uses less space compare to S10+ 512GB.
Speakers are loud.
Audio paired with Sennheiser Momentum 2 sounds great.
Samsung DeX is smoother compare with S10+.
8K video is acceptable.
Fingerprint unlock is fast. Accuracy 1/50 failed unlock.
Thats it for now folks.

Thanks - I'm also waiting for this model. Dual sim snapdragon.
I hope it gets updates faster than. The note 20.ultra equivalent (sti on Android 10)
Q: what is the build number? Did it update when you first got it?

Shouldn't it be SM-G9980 DS? Not SM-G9880 DS.

Thank corrected.

Thinking of ordering this over Australian G998B Exynos. Does anyone know of any issues using the G9980 compared to G998B in Aus. Also is "4G" or "LTE" symbol displayed on this version? Thanks

Using mine in Switzerland, works just fine, haven't tested 5g yet, there isn't where I live

my experience with night photo - very noisy, iphone 11 pro max beaten it in every aspect,
auto switching between cameras is funny - You increase zoom, as soon as it gets to the next lens the quality degrades then as You cross "logical border" the quality returns back to normal (or expected one), so the steps are very discrete comparing to smooth switch on iOS

Do you have sd888 Hong Kong version? Any problems with ar emoji studio or ecg or bp?
I can’t get them in ireland. Not available in my location but exynos version works fine and have that option.

I have this device running WIFI calling on a Tracfone MVNO over T-mobile's network in Sim2 - I've not been able to get wifi calling to work with Xfinity Wireless in sim1 but that's because they know my phone isn't the device that I'm supposed to have on my account and they can't (or won't) update because they think it's not supported on their network... Have you reset the network settings recently? Entered the band selector and made sure you've got the proper situation going for your scenario? *#*#4636#*#* I'm working in the NV memory fixing the config files to enable the US 5g bands at the moment. Haven't notice any issues with the latest update.

Without ignoring the top line specs this device is not much of a value. It's selling well mainly due to Samsung's huge trade-in offers but for half It's price one can aquire Samsung's A72 with a Snapdragon SoC, Dual SIM's, 8GB RAM, 256GB Internal and up to 1TB External Memory, 6.7 Inch Display, 3.5 mm Jack, 5000 mAh Battery and 120Hz Refresh Rate for under $470 USD.

Exynos variant

Can anyone confirm the compatibility of the Exynos variant with T-mobile? Frequency check websites show 100% compatibility but looking for personal experience feedback. Also curious if B66 works as intended in the US.

Service is already hit or miss where I live now. Can you elaborate on how the service is worse? Band support or signal strength?

I just noticed that the service is like just a little worse, you most likely wont notice a difference.
Anyone play around with the idea of loading the T-mobile S8 firmware onto the Exynos international version of the phone to see if that would be enough to get Wifi calling working? Wifi calling is essential to me since I work in a building with great wifi but no service.

You cannot install Snapdragon firmware on an Exynos based phone. This will lead to a brick. The only thing from a Snapdragon firmware you can install I believe is CSC but don't quote me on that.

I was also wondering if flashing the tmobile CSC to the 955F would enable wifi calling. The only LTE band that the Exynos variant doesn't have that T-mobile uses is 66 and from what I've been able to research that's not sued int he NYC area. But wifi calling is critical. I use it a lot to call back home when I travel abroad.

That is incorrect. The 950F does support band 66. I took this from service mode on my 950F

I received my phone yesterday. After a couple sites reporting it did support band 66, I dove in and was not disappointed.

Thanks but there's something weird about your screenshot. Band 32 is out of order and is not used on any Samsung phone. I think that should be 42. I find it hard to believe that there is a typo in the service menu.
I was using frequencycheck.com and willmydevicework.com as my sources. I agree that on this point I'm positive that the 950 and 955 should be the same.

Yeah it's strange and I do think it's a typo. But that's what service mode shows, regardless of which SIM I select.
With the exynos you'll also lose VoLTE. Meaning in areas where T-Mobile is using B12 LTE to extend the range of its network (B12 LTE 700mhz goes further than their EDGE and HSPA network (1700,1900,2100mhz) so if you're in an area and only have B12 LTE signal you won't be able to make or receive calls or texts. And in an emergency scenario if there was no other network for your phone to roam to, you also wouldn't be able to dial 911. Kinda an important feature imo.
I use the 930F on t-mobile and will likely do the same with the s8. If you care about rooting, you should get a 950f. It can be rooted easily and with root, you can get TKKG1994's CSC selection tool and use it to enable VOLTE/Wifi calling). If you aren't going to root, then the carrier phone is good.
I don't know how gigabit LTE is affected but I doubt in 2017 this is a game changer.

International SM-N950F/DS internet speed is very slow on Tmobile LTE

Hello,
I'm not even sure if the phone connect to Tmobile LTE bands, but according to the spec sheet, the phone does have all the Tmobile LTE bands (2,4,12). But I only get about 4~6Mbps download and 1~2 Mbps upload speed running speedtest.
Anything I can do to improve the speed? I already create a new APN and tried with different settings like IPv4/IPv6 and IPv4 alone.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Anyone ?? No one has the same issue as me? I also flashed the AQI4 latest firmware with AQI4 baseband and things seem a bit better, but still very slow.
Probably need to flash a T-Mobile CSC and we might need to call them and have them provision something with our IMEI as well. My N950N has the same slow issue as you, but I noticed if I insert the SIM, for a few minutes the data speed will be very fast, then suddenly just drops to garbage slow.
Also wondering if perhaps there's a physical issue with some of these. My signal strength and download speeds are garbage again (thought that they were fixed by restoring the stock EFS partition but I appear to have made a mistake).
Testing at my house now next to my Note 5, the Note 8's signal strength bounced between 9-15 dBm worse than the Note 5 (it's signal strength varied by at most 1 dBm), same LTE band and running multiple speed tests concurrently and separately the Note 5 was averaging 100mbps down (testing on the same server for consistency) where the 8 was anywhere between about 16 Mbps to 35.5 Mbps again on the same server.
This is on complete bone stock factory flash with Odin.
Another oddity is that the upload speed was higher on average on the 8, it was 1-5 Mbps higher than on the Note 5 even though the 5 is destroying it in download speeds.
I am really starting to suspect a loose antenna wire.
I have the F/DS Singapore variant on t mobile. Signal strength is great so far and getting 4G+.

Im using metro pcs... having same issue not getting 4G LTE, i was so excited when i bought note 8 on ebay....but while im using note 8 internet speed is so unpredictable... sometimes download pause sometimes fast pretty irritating.... My S8+ T.Mobile version was great on Metro PCS... Always Got about the same internet speed.... i think i made mistake Buying Note 8 N950F/DS
Can you share your APN?

Sure, here u go.
I basically just pop in the sim ,didn't touch any network settings.

In my case it turned out that my usb/antenna/mic/speaker circuit board kind of died after about 1 week - that is why my LTE signal and speeds suddenly dropped. When it was working properly I was able to get download speeds between 100-200+ Mbps, in an area with signal strength approximately -75 dBA, but now in the same area it only gets about -95 to -100 dBA and I'm lucky to get 20 or 30 Mbps. Waiting for replacement parts to become available so I can replace the faulty board.
Also apparently a lot of these are having issues as many people are reporting some or all of the issues related to the components on that board (slow/poor LTE, mic issues, etc).

VoLTE - Bell Mobility

So when I first got my P20 Pro I had VoLTE enabled and working fine but one day I noticed the HD notification was missing the dialer app no longer had the HD call button. Just noticed that when I make a call my device does actually revert back to the 3G network and I can no long "multitask" online while on a call. Of course I've also lost the ability to make video calls.
I've checked the wife S7 and can still make calls over LTE with that one. So now I'm wondering if it is the Bell network or my P20 Pro? A quick check on Bell support site shows a list of devices compatible with their VoLTE, the list shows older devices but newer ones also, P20 Pro not listed. Can't see Bell deactivating VoLTE specifically for this device, or at least I'd hope not.
Anybody else on the Bell network have this happen or is VoLTE working for you? Before I factory reset I wanna know if it's just me.
FYI. Locked and stock
On Virgin as well, just checked. Another kick in the nuts.....

VoLTE setting is ON. Is it working for you. Do you have HD calls notification on top left, HD dial button in dialer app? When not on wifi does mobile network revert to 3G for phone calls?
Yes/No? Any info would help folks.
Fido told me VoLTE not supported on the P20 Pro and I've certainly never gotten it to work
Working fine on Rogers

I'm starting to think the Bell network (Virgin) is the culprit here and not the device (fingers crossed). Curious as to why Bell would pull VoLTE support for the P20 Pro? Hopefully ain't no political thing (lol). Wonder if it's anything to do with Pie update and compatibility. I could say I lost VoLTE on my device almost a month now. I've tried everything in the book on my end even factory reset with no resolve and am more convinced now it's happening on Bell's side on things. Which really sucks cause I hate their support system but need to contact them find out what's going on with my service.
Thanks for the answers folks. Keep them coming.
I am on the Rogers network using an unlocked Bell P20 pro and do not have the VoLTE function so i wonder if it is disabled on Bell hardware?

Google about this. Rogers and Fido do the IMEI whitelisting so if you don't buy a device from them you are out of luck
just to inform you guy, I have p20 pro telus(unlocked) I put bell sim and asked bell to enable volte. it works. and it should work on virgin too.

Only Rogers(Fido) blocks you from using their IMS
I've been wondering the same. Got my P20 Pro with Bell a couple of weeks ago. About a week ago, I noticed "HD" at the top left of my notification bar, but it only lasted a few seconds and never returned. After that, I discovered that I'm always connected to LTE, but when I make a call it drops to 3G, and then after the call it reverts back to LTE.
When I insert the Bell SIM into my S7 Edge, it stays connected to LTE at all times.
How is it possible that it showed "HD" very briefly several days ago and never came back? Perhaps Bell was just testing HD on the network for a few minutes? I've always had VoLTE enabled in the settings.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I have two friends with an iPhone 8+, one on Rogers, the other on Bell, and they both drop to 3G when on a call.
Thanks for the info. I will contact them.

Please keep us posted!
Just got of the phone with Rogers, the Support specialist tried and also followed up with their network specialist, it is a no go, this was what they said:
"Since the device is not a Rogers device it wont allow VoLTE calls and the VoLTE notification is not being pushed to this IMEI. This gets enabled on the network and since the device is not Rogers it wont allow for it to register. So just make sure when you purchase the phone its from the same carrier as the one you are looking to use as it can cause compatibility issues. All phones get a pre-configured file when they are sent to Carriers and based on the carrier provisioning of the device it becomes compatible to the network."
It looks like some of us are out of luck.

I've had this device for about 3 months now and would say it's been about 1 month since I've lost VoLTE service
Just got off the phone with Bell support. Didn't really get anywhere as expected, other then many apologies and an open service ticket to try and find out if it's their end or the P20 Pro. Should hear back within 2 weeks. Again, as expected.
Fido sucks.. might switch to Rogers soon... my work has a ok deal.. $55/mo for 6gb and unlimited calls/text canada wide.

Official One UI 2.5 Features with Video!

I guess this will be the last major update for our beloved Galaxy Note 9. Long story short, this update is amazing! The first thing I noticed after the update was the clear dark screen (it was a bit yellowish after few updates previously thought it was a defect but turns out to be software related). Not only that some cool features like:
Wireless DeX
SOS Messaging every 30min if location changes
Video Pro Mode Histogram, 24 FPS on 4K and 1080p Pro Mode Video
Keyboard Split when on landscape
I actually flashed the stock rom of Germany on my XSG device and seriously this is the best decision ever! Fluid performance and decent battery life!
EDIT
*Hey guys many of my subscribers been complaining about yellow tint or so called discoloration. I had it on my local ROM as well but flashing Germany ROM fixed it. No overheat, no discoloration, excellent performance and battery. So if you want to end these issues than follow this video
The thing i wanted the most was wireless dex and it's there all the other things are extra bonuses which i love as well. Good lock modules too.
And they call it ***an update***? Except Wireless DEX barely any notable worthy changes. Camera was crap and still is.
And they call it *** update ***? Except for the Wireless DEX, hardly any notable changes. The camera was **** and still is.
I cannot turn off spellcheck underline after update, the option is off but its still showing.

Did anyone notice that the low light video recording looks way less noisy compared to the previous updates on the Exynos model. Makes me very angry that it took so long to fix these issues. I will never recommend buying new Samsung devices again.
Camera update?! Only pro video mode?
Got the update on Spectrum! 2.5 is here. Downloading now.
Haven't gotten it on my N9 yet, but just received it on my Tab S6. Finally! I can use the full screen gestures on Nova Launcher! Can't wait you get it on my unlocked Note using the TMO firmware. There's the only thing that had completely bummed me out with the upgrade to Android 10 - third party launchers lost a lot of their usability with the upgrade & I hate having to use OneUI without being did to use Nova....
Mic selection toggle is unavailable on the NOTE 9
I've upgraded it mostly to get the Mic selection option but it's an s10+ or later exclusive... such a shame !!!
Is that a method ti get the s10+ camera apk into N9 without root?
The funny thing is that the N9 app is a newer version so it's impossible to downgrade via apks...
SMH...
Regretfully the Galaxy Note9 on my hand is still running One UI 2.1, though the firmware is already the latest one.
Note: the actual model of my Galaxy Note9 is SM-N9600 under TGY.
T-mobile GN9 user here, still don't have the update. I'm in the USA (California, specifically). According to this site, it's listed as Coming Soon for the USA and Canada. I tried forcing to lookup the update (by checking for software updates in settings), no luck.

Not released for USA yet. You guys often seem to be the last in getting updated. No idea if it's because you've got Snapdragon CPUs and not Exynos or it's just a carrier thing.
Got the update this morning, on T-mobile in California (USA).
Alright, so now that we've got it, can someone explain to me how to use Wireless DeX? Specifically, I'm unclear about the connection requirements.
Damn it!
I must not understand how this works... I've got a 960U1 (US unlocked) & I'm on TMO. I expected to get the update via TMO but apparently not.
What gives? Does anyone know?

I dunno if anyone understands how it works.
I have the U1 on TMO as well. No update.
I think it will come eventually, but the rollout schedule of these things makes zero sense.
Edit: Maybe the rollout schedule is prioritized to service all carrier models first, then the U1 last.
@lazarus0000
Received the update this morning on Old Folks Cellular (Consumer Cellular - unlocked N9). lol.
CC is affiliated w/ AT&T and TM, so hopefully you will receive the update soon.
Does anyone know the apk file name for the "Send SOS Messages?"
Can I assume the One UI update is the one starting with F? Like “FTJ8”. The SM-N9600 (the model I've got) has only got an F series firmware for Open China, but I guess that one doesn't have Google services.
There's another recent update, ETK2, but I don't think it's One UI 2.5.
Finally! Woke up this morning & it was an early Christmas! And, like Christmas, slow slow slow to get here!
But I can finally go back to using Nova Launcher & get the best Sammie has to offer and the sweet goodness of a customer launcher that does everything I want it to!
Malaysia XME also got this update just now!!
Got an update this morning, just Nov security patch, no one ui 2.5 here in brasil

Question Dual eSIM support post QPR2 Beta 2.1

Can anyone confirm if this is active on their phone (especially from India)? I really would like to switch to eSIM for both slots but a bit reluctant.
Google Pixel 7 now has dual eSIM support after Android 13 QPR2 Beta 2 update
It looks like dual eSIM support has finally found its way to the Pixel 7, and could get a wide release with the upcoming Pixel Feature Drop.
www.xda-developers.com
It's working for some and not working for others. There seems to be a required server side update on the sim manager app in order for it to work.
It's not working for me and I'm very annoyed about it.
Thank you, guess will have to wait some more time.

But who exactly is it working for? I've seen one report and screenshot from a Reddit user. Everyone else I've seen test hasn't got it working. Back in October one person reportedly had dual eSim on this forum. So how do we know this isn't just another bug? I'd love it to be released in March feature drop, but I'm not holding my breath, so far I've seen no solid evidence that might indicate this, only hearsay and dubious "proof".
For what it's worth...

Thanks, but what does this mean? Google is slowly filtering out sim manager updates?

But who exactly is it working for? I've seen one report and screenshot from a Reddit user. Everyone else I've seen test hasn't got it working. Back in October one person reportedly had dual eSim on this forum. So how do we know this isn't just another bug? I'd love it to be released in March feature drop, but I'm not holding my breath, so far I've seen no solid evidence that might indicate this, only hearsay and dubious "proof".

Seeing how I was the person who had dual eSIM here, it's more frustrating for me than others who didn't have it to begin with.
That said, there has been talk since just before release about Google releasing dual eSIM in the March update (they say Germany here but there's no reason they wouldn't drop it in the US where eSIM is actually useful) so here's hoping.

As a European, I can confirm not having dual SIM here is a PIA, I have sims for 3 countries in Europe and when I travel further afield, I get a temporary 4th. At least with a dual SIM tray you have flexibility, but the current pixel 7 is driving me nuts. I bought it knowing dual esim wouldn't drop until March, so the lost convenience of a dual SIM tray was factored in. I just hope it does actually drop.
Do you not still have dual esim then?

It's becoming more and more common for people to carry around multiple carriers here in the US too and eSIM is really taking off.
Nope, they took it away some time between October and December. I wasn't using it at that point so I didn't notice it was gone until I wanted to use it when I picked up a second eSIM again in December.
Anyone tried Beta 3 for dual eSim?

Taking with a pinch of salt since feature drop isn't due till march. That said, SIM manager app is not necessarily related to feature drop.
That also said, if this post on Reddit is reliable, SIM manager isn't what controls MEP (as the current SIM manager available for non Beta devices was updated in October and is Version D.2.1.473171966).
I successfully downloaded 2 esim profiles using Google Fi and Verizon. Works fine. Only flaw is can only have 1 active at a time. Using 1 esim and 1 physical sim, you can use data from one profile and calls and texts from the second profile.

Multiple eSim profiles is standard, what is supposedly coming soon is dual active eSims.
