Help How to Install Stock TMobile ROM to Note 9

Hi guys, I bought a used Note 9. The seller assured me it was gotten through TMobile and when I look at the package it came with, it has T-Mobile items in it

However apparently he inserted an ATT sim in it which apparently wiped the OS and made it AT&T. I have never heard about this sim profiling before. Right now, I cannot recieve SMS despite using the correct APN settings

What I want to do now, because I have no access to a TMobile sim is to try and install over this ROM with a TMobile ROM. How can I do this?

Help AT&T Unlocked Phone on T-Mobile Network? Possible issues? SM-N960U

So I bought a Note 9 listing off swappa. This listing: https://swappa.com/listing/view/LUJK37602

SM-N960U he said unlocked bought it through T Mobile. I just opened and turned it on and to my surprise it has the ATT firmware. I am very livid because when someone says "bought through T-Mobile" what I think is that this is a TMobile phone.

WHile I wait for him to get back to me, what are the consequences of running an AT&T unlocked phone on TMobile network. I am actually on MetroPCS. But its operated by TMobile. Will I still be able to use the phone like a TMobile phone? What features will I miss. VoLTE? roaming on US Cellular?

Getting Popups on Facebook Android

Lately I've been getting popups on the Facebook app on both my Android phone and tablet. It happens when I click on a story, and I guess it's on Facebook's internal browser, and I'm reading when all of a sudden a page pops up saying the site is not secure, and asking me to click on a link, which I don't do of course. I've ran a virus scan with Bit Defender, which I have on the devices, but it has turned up nothing. Any idea how to get rid of this annoyance?

Can You Use Secure Folder Without the Password Reset/Unlock Features?

I want to use Secure Folder, but it requires a Samsung account to be added to the phone. Which then allows your secure folder pin to be reset, the whole phone to be remotely unlocked, reset the lockscreen, etc...

That defeats the purpose of secure folder to me. I dont want any of that ability. I want only me knowing the code and having the ability to unlock it.

Is there a way to use secure folder or add a samsung account without all that?

Any suggestions to resolve this "issue"?

Thanks in advance

Word Of Warning About LG Update

Yesterday, LG/T-mobile did an unrequested update on my phone. Ostensibly this update is to provide "video dialing" but it messed up other things. It put new "audio HD" and video camera symbols on the call screen, in addition to putting them in the contact information. If I have a number with more than the basic 10 digits (either foreign number or a dynamically stored number with "+1"), I can't see the whole number as the "audio HD" symbol overlays the number. The only way to see the number is to make the call and catch it before the call goes through.

But worse is the audio of the person to whom I'm speaking. It went from a robust "normal" (for a phone call) sound to one that is "tinny", as if the person is speaking in a well. The treble is turned all the way up, making for an un-natural and un-comfortable call.

I spoke to both T-Mobile and LG Support. Incredibly, they installed an update with no provision for backing it out if there are user problems. That's completely un-acceptable (which would not be done on computer systems). The only way to undo this is with brute force - a factory reset! Which would undo my customizations which I would have to re-do, (assuming I could remember everything I did). And installed programs - I have a few - would be erased and I'd have to re-install them again.

When I asked about this not happening the next time there was an update, they each pointed to the other as to who is responsible for the timing, notification and downloading of updates.

And after all of this, I wouldn't use the video dialing anyway, as it would eat up tons of high speed data allocation.

Galaxy tab USB dongle not recognizable for all

Hi!

I have a Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) with an otg and a Huawei USB mobile dongle with SIM and mobilnet, and it works almost fine.
My problem that is only almost fine, because it's not wifi nor cellular data, so some of my services / apps doesn't recognize that I have internet.

For example the Netflix runs flawlessly... but my HBO GO says there is no net... but its the same for some services as well fe. some of my Samsung tooĺs is not willing to update or use it.
I checked and its not because they are set to use wifi, there are no settings for which net should they use.

Myquestion is Isthere a cheat to force these services - appsto use usb dongle net?

Regards
Sam
