What app is this?

Ok, I updated to TMO. All went good. Signal strength meter looks higher but its not. Looks like TMO just makes meter look stronger. I do have HD voice now so thats good though.

So you didn't have HD voice before you flashed? I was looking to keep my phone stock, but may end up flashing to get the features if that's the case.

I am on Google Fi, so I don't get HD calls, wifi calls, or the visual voicemail anyway. I would like to know though if signal has improved and perhaps unlocked Note is not utilizing all necessary TMobile bands

I believe HD voice is available on the unlocked model for TMobile/Verizon. Only reason to flash carrier firmware is if you want the perception of better signal with more bars

Getting same results as any of my devices in my house don't see any differences at all.

Same with Verizon, everything same as carrier variant for unlocked model on Verizon. AT&T is the crap carrier who doesn't play ball with unlocked models.

I never saw the HD+ on phone screen before switching but maybe just doesn't show.

***I just read it is there just doesn't show HD+ on unlocked. Also unlocked does not have Video Calling feature.

I am using an unlocked on t-mobile. I get everything other then video calling. Not a problem for me I don't use it.

Only other thing would be RCS..."if" they ever implement it.

Hopefully Google message app takes care that

I haven't noticed any slow down. I haven't done any technical measurements or anything like that. Just going off of day to day usage.

sure. I got unlocked and I'm with Sprint, which in and of itself is generally a disaster, so I'm kind of waiting to see what will happen. will I be able to pop in my sim and activate, or wait to order/receive a sim kit, or will there be a sim in the phone. everything is an unknown for me. cool and exciting but a little worrisome because of Sprint.
