[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ImKev:
Hey I was also having problems with the bluetooth... mine works just fine when i turn the cell phone on, but through the day the bluetooth turns off and i wasnt able to turn it back

on so i had to restart. But i just found a simplier way to do it:

Just go to settings>Applications> All> Bluetooth

And press on Force To Close, then you should be able to turn it on :D

Hope it works!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chris4824:

To enable talk and data surfing simultaneously:

Login to Verizon Account online

Search: Advanced Calling

Select Advanced Calling feature (not Q&A)

Enable feature (I have unlimited data, this feature was free on my account)

Wait 15 minutes to take effect to account

On G4

Under settings, Select Advanced Calling

Activate Advanced Calling

If doesnt Activate, wait for another 5 mins, try again

This benefit was provided, free of charge
[G4 General] mediumraresteak:
Posted my response in wrong thread.
[G4 General] thaibruin:
Interesting. This was already enabled on my phone. The Verizon person must have activated for me in store when I got it. I also have unlimited data.
[G4 General] geoff5093:
Does advanced calling drain the battery as much as VoIP calls over Hangouts does? I can have a 20 minute conversation on hangouts, screen off, and the phone starts to get so hot I have to move my fingers because it's too hot. I took at my phone after and I drop anywhere from 10-20% battery.
[G4 General] JacRyan:
I have not had any heat issues on this phone exc while charging w Charger 2.0, which was expected.

I haven't used Hangouts, cant give input w that

I use duel voice/data for conference calls to review information while on calls

Added: I have had exceptional battery life w this phone.

Moderate use gets me 10-12 hours
[G4 General] fireguy0306:
I know this is a verizon thread, do we know how to do this on AT&T?
[G4 General] JacRyan:
It is my understanding the AT&T and Sprint do not have the ability due to having single radios.

If you find a method feel free to comment here and I'll modify the title of this thread
[G4 General] eighty1:
Same thing happened to me yesterday on a hangouts call. Phone got ridiculously hot and had me wanting to return it because I felt there is no way this is normal and something is definitely wrong with my phone. Like you, I dropped at 20% of battery. Still holding on and hoping something comes along soon that makes me feel comfortable about keeping it whether an update or root/bootloader unlock and ability to flash a different ROM.
[G4 General] geoff5093:
I don't think this is specific to the G4, all calls I've made using Hangouts get very hot. My G3 did, even on a custom ROM, and with my short time using the Droid Turbo.
[G4 General] uly609:
AT&T can do this without enabling anything. Try it and find out for yourself.
[G4 General] Bosgarage57:
Thanks! I was able to do it on my Note 2 without the advanced calling, couldn't figure out why on the G4 it was dropping to 1x when on the phone.
[G4 General] larsdennert:
This also enables video calling as well. During a call just tap the camera button. Obviously the other person needs advanced calling.
[G4 General] gunner768:
Has anyone had any success activating advanced calling on a rooted g4? I've gone through both my phone and on a computer but every time I go to check it on my phone it still isn't active, even after restarting. I am rooted on stock 11a.
[G4 General] larsdennert:
I doubt it's root. If the service is active on your account, you likely need a new sim card. Verizon will swap it out for free. Before trying that, call them up and ask them to reset and resend the configuration. That sometimes will fix it.

Also, you should update to 13B as it has the stagefright fixes. Do a "Normal" flash of the 13B kdz and then flash a rooted 13B system. No loss of data or unrooting needed.

Thanks to you all working on 720

Thank for all of your support . I managed to unlock via vcreg . Special thanks to irshad now guys as I am new here I don't know where to go from here . So can you suggest me some apps that I should deploy now as I have my 720 introp unlocked . Also is there any app that can be used to deploy other modified xap files without using wppt . Is there any app available .
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcfan:
sure no problem, next version will have it with also .reg file importer.

and after that, I plan to make the UI a tree view for simple reg editing instead of the way it is now. I wanted to get this app out now so I cooked up a quick simple interface.

so this method doesnt require to do an hard reset in the end like the previous method posted couple days ago ?

the main reason that stopped me to unlock my phone - lumia 1520 was the hard reset.

No it doesn't. In fact, if you do hard reset you lose the interop unlock.

XAP Manifest Error

Can some developer please patch the apps like -Wph Tweaks, IO explorer, Accent Colour, so that we Lumia owners can easily deploy them on our interop devices. Some peoples used the WPPT for deployment, but it's not possible to install wppt without the full visual studio sdk which is 6gb in size, i don't have enough data and on limited monthly plan of 3gb so can't download the visual studio full version, I have sdk 8.1 lite and used that tool to deploy the apps. I also interop unlock my phone with this life tools. So my request is to the any developer please patch this app so that we can use it easily without having to download the full sdk. Thanks in advance...

UPDATE

I'm collaborating with [MENTION=4730550]Pasquiindustry[/MENTION] to bring the full registry editing capabilities of vcREG to CustomPFD. When the new version of CustomPFD is released, vcREG as an app will be retired, but a new xap called vcBREAK will be released. its only purpose will be to do the "jailbreak" (interop/capability unlock), and then you would use CustomPFD to do all your registry editing and apply your tweaks. When there is more information to share, you will know.
[Galaxy S6 Active] gregk232:
Update - IT WORKS!!!

Phone is unlocked and Tmo LTE is a GO!

I just picked up my galaxy s6 active, but I plan to use it with tmobile. From what I saw, it takes band 4 lte, which is tmo, so all I would need are the apn settings and I should be good to go.

Now I am very impatiently waiting for my unlock code from Theunlockingcompany.com

I'll report how it goes here.
[Galaxy S6 Active] hal3146:
Will ATT not unlock in store? I thought they would if you pay full price.
[Galaxy S6 Active] gregk232:
I got mine on Craigslist. So I need to unlock it myself.
[Galaxy S6 Active] redeyss:
Can you unlock if it's under contract or on payment plan? If so let me know where, thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Active] gregk232:
You can unlock any GSM phone regardless of if it is under any contract or not.

There are plenty of online services that give you unlock codes based on your imei
[Galaxy S6 Active] redeyss:
Tried one on eBay, came back as "this device is active on another user's account" which apparently means it's under contract. Bought phone on swappa so must've been an upgrade.
[Galaxy S6 Active] gregk232:
BTW, this is exactly how I did it. Still waiting on my unlock code though.

https://youtu.be/Xp_enPOLU14
[Galaxy S6 Active] gregk232:
Looks like we are good to go! OP updated.
[Galaxy S6 Active] redeyss:
How much?[emoji6]
[Galaxy S6 Active] gregk232:
Bought the phone on craigslist for $450.... checked to make sure it was not blacklisted.

Paid $40 to unlock it at theunlockingcompany.com
[Galaxy S6 Active] redeyss:
Holy crap! You got a $700 brand new phone on CL for $450? Wonder why the person didn't return phone for refund instead since it's only been out since last Friday officially? Was seller an at&t employee or something?
[Galaxy S6 Active] gregk232:
Yep... the guy had 3 of them
[Galaxy S6 Active] galt:
I'm eyeing this phone for use on T-mobile - does it have full LTE support (including band 12) on T-mobile?
[Galaxy S6 Active] jackal2001:
Sounds like it fell of the back of a truck deal to me.
[Galaxy S6 Active] hal3146:
It does not support band 12.
[Galaxy S6 Active] gregk232:
Does not take band 12 but I'll take it anyway.
[Galaxy S6 Active] MizuRyuu:
So how would you be getting future firmware updates? Would you be able to get it OTA when AT&T release it for the S6 Active, or do you need to wait for it to be uploaded somewhere so you can download and install?
[Galaxy S6 Active] gregk232:
1. Odin flash the update

2. I am counting on root and custom recovery being available at some point.

3. I believe I can still get an Ota even if I have a different carrier Sim in their via wifi.
[Galaxy S6 Active] hal3146:
Just picked up my active. Just waiting on unlock code.
[Galaxy S6 Active] MizuRyuu:
A question: for the Limited Warranty sheet, does it say that the warranty covers all of North America, or just the States? Trying to figure out if I'll lose the warranty for bringing the phone to Canada
[Galaxy S6 Active] chong67:
Why is it surprising? I have the ATT Galaxy Alpha and its unlock and it work fine on my T-mobile also. It cant do hotspot.

Samsung is so stupid again only releasing this for ATT just like the Alpha.

WHY?

---------- Post added at 12:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

On #2, you can forget it. ATT always have their bootloader lock down. You can root but thats about it.

On #3, you need a ATT SIM to get the update on LP.

I have the ATT Samsung Alpha working on the T-mobile network.
[Galaxy S6 Active] gregk232:
Regarding #2....

In that case, why are there custom Roms floating around for the regular AT&T S6?

Band 12?

Thank you for updating on this! I'm on tmobile but want a S6 Active. I read only band 12 will be missing. Will that cause me any problems? I am many times in areas that tmobile has a problem getting a signal so I wouldn't want to make my signal reception worse by losing a needed band. How much and in what circumstances is 12 used? Thanks again!

Just read that I don't have band 12 on my current tmobile S5. I'm in NE Ohio should I just get a tmobile phone that has band 12 now and that will increase my reception options more so than getting a att Active to run tmobile?
[Galaxy S6 Active] gregk232:
Band 12 and band 4 are lte bands only. Not hspa+ or voice.

As I understand, band 12 is just a faster lte connection.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Ascertion:
B4 is the faster one, but it's of higher frequency. B12 is slower, but offers better coverage inside buildings. B12 is only in select markets, whereas B4 is nationwide.

Edit: looks like B12 may be active in NE Ohio.

Sent from my M8
[Galaxy S6 Active] gregk232:
Thanks for clearing it up.

So basically, if you get b4... you can say it is working with tmo. B12 is optional
[Galaxy S6 Active] Rsx2014:
Well, data is what matters most to me. I wasn't clear enough in my first comment. I think after finding out NE Ohio has b12 that I will just stick with a tmobile branded phone for now. Wish there was a way to enable b12 on the att active. Oh well, will look at S6 Edge or wait for Note 5. Thanks again!
[Galaxy S6 Active] djruckuss66:
GSM Arena has to update their website if all of what you guys are saying is true... still says it supports B12. http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s6_active-7114.php
[Galaxy S6 Active] hal3146:
I noticed that in a couple places. That would be awesome if it does. I am in an area without b12 so can't confirm.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Rsx2014:
May be a possibility that it has b12.

Well, now I'll have to call AT&T tech or someone to find out for sure.
[Galaxy S6 Active] galt:
The details tab of AT&Ts S6 Active page includes band 12 under 4G-LTE bands:

Wireless Technology

4G-LTE Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 20, 29 and 30

4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul

3G - UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz

GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz

http://www.att.com/cellphones/samsung/galaxy-s6-active.html
[Galaxy S6 Active] Rsx2014:
That's great!
[Galaxy S6 Active] spaniolo:
Wow!! Those are great speeds!!!!

Can you share what are your apn settings?
[Galaxy S6 Active] 290:
Just because it says it supports Band 12 does not mean it its programmed to use T-Mobiles portion of Band 12. It may be locked down to whatever frequencies AT&T has obtained in that band. If this is the case the only way to have it recognize the T-Mobile frequencies is to somehow change the modem driver. Which i believe isnt possible with a locked bootloader.

Another thing to consider is the more bands you have available to you, the faster your connection will be. Also Band 12 is being used because it has great penetration inside buildings because its a lower frequency. So there are a lot of things to consider when you ask the question do you need/want Band 12. I REALLY want an active but lack of T-Mobile Band 12 support and the fact that its locked down make it unlikely i will get one.
[Galaxy S6 Active] gregk232:
I'm getting better reception with my active than I did with my tmo note 4 in Dallas
[Galaxy S6 Active] 290:
Most likely just the difference in phone design. That phone can't use TMO band 12.
[Galaxy S6 Active] websurf90:
This is so incredibly wrong. Let's understand why.

Nope. These things are standardized by forces beyond AT&T. The FCC required AT&T to start adding device support for band 12 specifically because small carriers with the A block spectrum complained that no devices supported it. They also required AT&T to add band 12 support to its network so devices that are band 12 only can access it.

On another note, AT&T's version of locking down bands was to create LTE band 17 which is a subset of band 12 that only includes blocks B and C.

No. Connection speed is dependent on a myriad of other factors. Not simply having more bands.

You need band 12 to get the full coverage of the network. That is the simple truth. Even hyper-dense band 4 networks can't reach everywhere because it is physically impossible for it to do so.

Again, it supports band 12. As for the locked down part, not sure if you mean bootloader-wise or you are still talking about the band.

Here's 100% accurate proof that the Galaxy S6 Active supports band 12.

[Galaxy S6 Active] thegrants82:
Of course it works. Why are you so amazed that it does?
[Galaxy S6 Active] blessedsword:
First, after unlock , you have to use ATT SIM card for next update.

After update the f*cking baseband OF3, the ATT software update make the battery drain to much.

for now, still do not have firmware of S6 active on ATT or Sammobile yet.

This original ROM is too lag.

I use Textra as my text messaging app and I can modify my APN settings in the Settings Menu in the Textra app. I'm not sure but you can probably get to the APN settings in the settings menu on the default app.

You can add a new connection there with the appropriate settings for your carrier. I'm on ATT, so don't need to change mine but that's where you'll find them. AoN
[Galaxy S6 Active] chrisliphart:
I just picked up an S6 Active, and it won't let me add an APN for T-Mobile. I'm still waiting for my unlock code, so it still has a deactivated AT&T SIM in it. Could that be what's blocking me from adding an APN?
[Galaxy S6 Active] nhutpham:
Here are the APN settings I use, I believe I pulled them from the tmobile website. You can add these under a name of your choosing in the mobile network settings. I would suspect that you need to be unlocked.

Hi,

I'm in Turkey and I've bought a Samsung galaxy s6 active from bestbuy by paying full retail price (unactivated device option for 694$). My friend will bring it to me to Turkey tomorrow and my question is if it is possible to unlock my phone even though the device is not in USA? My point is, if the code that will be provide by at&t s device unlock page is verifying by internet connection or via mobil service satellites ? Because obviously phone have to send/receive some configurations to the unlocking. If this process requires US services, I have to say my friend to unlock the phone before he came ..

Thanx

The hardware supports band 12. Reading the whole thread you would have known that im aware of this. What im saying is that the ATT S6 when used on TMO's network doesnt use TMO's band 12, Yet.....

The more bands you have available to you the more likely you are going to get a better signal. Better signal means a better connection all around. Voice and data. Not hard to follow unless you want to be hyper specific. Which you are.

There are several reviews out there that state you can use the S6 Active on TMO but you will not get TMO's Band 12. If you can find evidence they you can use it then happy days!
