Ok.. so i got my pie update with One UI last night. COOL.. i love it.. laggy at first, after full reset, it works just fine, smooth and fast.. snappy. battery life is great.. However, after using it for awhile and after restoring backup, i have some quirks..
1. Samsung now do not allow SD Card to be used together with both sim cards.. previously i have been using dual sim and SD card via an adapter.. now it just says "SIM Card Tray Slot Problem. There seems to be something in your SIM Card tray slot that doesnt belong there. Check it and try again".
I saw somewhere in this forum, that there is a method that can fix this issue, but i require root access.. DAMN..
2. Call recorders is disabled for third party apps.
Is there a native call recorder in the note 8 android 9? like when i use note 2, i just need to tweak the CSC file and the native call recorder will come out. Is it still present?
If the native call recorder is still present, i am very willing to root my phone.
Samsung pay is just something that i would love to have, but not a must. Call recorder is important.
I travel often, and frequently receive instructions from bosses or customers on what they want, and it is often lengthy.. without a pen and paper, and phone stuck to my ear, i rely on call recorders to record what they want, and then when i am back in office or hotel room, or somewhere quiet, i can replay what they want and work on a proposal to them or quotation. This is important to me and the reason i forked out to buy pro version of the call recorder app i was using previously.
my question is, if some kind hearted person can assist me, is as follows:
1. Is android call recorder still present? will tweaking the CSC file or installing an xposed module bring it back? (thats how i did it on my very old note 2)
2. If i root my note 8, secure folders wont work. Samsung Pay wont work. will masking root allow samsung pay? if not, will i still be able to use samsung pay on my Samsung Gear Sport instead.. currently i use samsung pay mainly on my samsung gear sport anyway.
Yup call recording is still there. I've installed HadesRom and seems to enable it.
-Yes, if you root your phone you'll lose Samsung Pay and Secure Folder forever since it triggers Knox. I have no idea if you can still be able to use Pay with your smartwatch.

Holy moly, I should have checked before updating. Where is the workaround to use both sims and the micro sd card?
Do I need to root now? Didn't have the need to do it until now
Dang!

Yeah, you would probably have to root your device and mod a file in order to get that feature back.

Hi
Any chance to make this feature work without root??
I just lost my secure folders and spay because of this stupid feature.
Went to install custom rom to get the dual sim and sd card to work..
And got call recording back as well..
I installed dr ketans rom.

You can use Solid Explorer to make encrypted folders (with fingerprint unlock if you want). You can even make the secure folders on your sdcard.
Is root now available for Pie? Last time I checked, if you have Snapdragon and upgraded to Pie you lost root since it's bootloader 5 and the highest bootloader that has root is 3. If you have an Exynos, then a Knox is tripped and you can never have Samsung pay again.

You don't need to root your phone. Just change your region to THL or INS or XXV, it'll give you native call recording with SPay. I've changed my CSC from XSG/CAC/XSG to THL/CAC/XSG and call recorder is working great.
Change your CSC: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/pie-call-recording-wip-t3905737

I guess you could install another regions OS onto your device. Just make sure that the model numbers match.

Still not for Snapdragon, as far as I know, but it is for Exynos. I've seen some custom ROMs claiming to have Samsung Pay working, but I can't verify that, as I don't use or even care about Samsung Pay, despite it being used and supported in my country.
Hello Guys, I have Unlocked Tmobile Note 8 the N950U version. Anyone knows when the Pie Update comes up? Im hating Tmobile right now. My girl have an S8+ from Claro a International model and today update to Pie

There isn't any pie firmware that 2 sims and sd card option will work. Apparently Samsung put in a check for that and disabled it.
You'll have to go back to oreo for now.
Or root your phone (Warning: this will remove Samsung pay, secure folder for good) and change out a service.jar file.

Android pie for note 8 comes with its own call recorder. To activate it go to call settings. That option is right in front if you.
The SD card problem is still there I think. I have the same problem.

Here we go again. It's not there. It's controlled by csc. Mine is in xme, which doesn't allow call recording.
Anyhow I flashed custom Rom, got native call recording to work (still don't appear in the settings though) and samsung pay to work via my gear samsung gear sport.
And my Dual SIM with sdcard works now too.

Call recording is present, but you will loose hybrid sim as Samsung has blocked it in PIE Update.
After updating to PIE, i'm note able to use hybrid sim slot on my Galaxy Note 8. When i insert hybrid in Galaxy note 8 Pie, POPUP appears says sim card tray slot problem, but phone has read both behind and memory card. Pop does not get disable and stuck on the screen. Forcefully i need to remove the slot and reverse back to 1 sim and MC

Call recording is locked by csc. Been this way since samsung note2 or even before. You may have it due to your csc does not lock it.
As for dual sim and sdcard, yeah that's true. You'll need to root your phone or install a custom rom.

Okay so I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 that's originally on AT&T but I have a Straight Talk SIM card that I want to use in my Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The problem is is that I also want to use my Straight Talk hotspot but on most AT&T phones it does not work. Is there a hack for this? Or there is there a way to reprogram? Or do I have to root my note 9? Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi's you're my only hope.
I have the same problem
Has anyone found a solution to this?
I just received notice this week that Straigh Talk is now including 10GB Hotspot on my plan but on my ATT Note 9 (SM-N960U) when I first attempt to turn this on I get notified that it is not supported on my account. I've chatted with their support 3 times this week, and they keep applying the Hotspot to my account and I've rebooted my phone multiple times but still yet I get this error message.
Now funny enough I can still actually get the Hotspot enabled and I can connect to it from my other devices; however, they are not able to browse the internet when they get connected.
Really hoping to get this resolved before to long.
