The 930T has 38-41 per this link: https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/android/samsung_galaxy_s_7#id_1299991

It is only missing 29 and 30 which are not used anywhere yet (Though AT&T is planning to roll out support eventually) according to Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nextstep:
Hoping to be able to buy a Galaxy S7 that supports:

AT&T

Verizon

Sprint

T-Mobile

Holding my fingers crossed that all models(same model) have multiple band support (CDMA & GSM) and simple unlock and sim card placement needed to use on different carrier...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] myphone12345:
It is unknown at this time whether such a model will exist.

To do this, Samsung will need to create firmware that enables all the US bands in the phone. They will also need to get an ok from Sprint and Verizon for the creation of such a device.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] elesbb:
Right? xD
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starcms:
Incorrect. If a phone supports LTE Band 13, Verizon must allow it to be used on their network per the FCC. It's as simple as taking the Verizon sim out of an activated phone and putting it into any phone that supports both CDMA and LTE band 13.

Sprint on the other hand does whitelist imei's. For example, on the Nexus 6, I believe they eventually whitelisted all, but at first it was only phones from Sprint and Google (not Motorola even, but then eventually added it along with att and T-Mobile, and I think eventually Verizon sold phones).

I just don't understand why Samsung has to cater to the carriers anymore. The phones aren't subsidized, the hardware is the same in all of them, why not make just one US model that supports all bands natively like Nexus 6/6P/5X.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcip17:
Very interesting discussion. I have the Verizon Note 4 Dev Edition and I am interested in getting a smaller phone (S7). I see that Verizon did away with developer editions so I am trying to figure out how to have a fully functioning unlocked and rooted S7 CDMA/LTE from a different carrier. If they do make that one carrier fits all version I would buy that in a heartbeat. I hope we can find an viable option for us disparate Verizon customers. I will keep checking in on this thread. Thanks.

Funny, I suggested this to them directly a few months ago and basically got fed a line of PR crap about Shamsung knows best.

Now they're putting sd cards etc back in, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tdamocles:
I never knew anything about them deprecating band 17. I've been using LTE discovery everywhere I go in southeast PA and have never seen band 12 used. I've only seen band 2 and 17 in this area so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goodbye_Alltel:
What device do you use? MFBI means that devices which have band 17 but not 12 will see and talk to towers on 17 while those with band 12 will see band 12 and talk to the tower on that band. It essentially broadcasts signaling for both bands simultaneously (which is possible because 17 is a subset of 12, in the 700 mhz region).

It's also possible that AT&T has not rolled out MFBI in your area yet. What little info I could find pointed to AT&T still working on implementing it everywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] myphone12345:
It's not that they are 'deprecating' B17. MFBI allows AT&T to make the network appear as both B12 and B17 at the same time. Think of MFBI as an alias for the band identifier.

A phone capable only of B17 will only see the network as B17 while one that's capable of B12 only will see it as B12. With a phone capable of seeing both it depends on how the software in the device is designed; different manufacturers will show it differently.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tdamocles:
At this moment a Nexus 6p.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mathieulh:
Because in the U.S.A you can't easily as a costumer, buy an unbranded device, in fact, in the U.S. you aren't Samsung's costumers, the carriers are, they order a lot of phones from manufacturers and detail specifications to be followed (supported bands, locked bootloader...)

This also has to do with the F.C.C. which has given into the carriers lobbying and attributed different bands to each of them in order to further increase the market segmentation and make it possible for a given device to only work on a specific carrier even after being unlocked.

In Europe, because of the different per countries markets, the E.U. commission ensured that all carriers use the same standardized bands, this makes things a whole lot different.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lalew25:
I have heard from a friend who is a Verizon rep that Verizon now allows unlocked phones on their network though this change wasn't advertised as they would still prefer you to buy from them. The iPhones have always carried all of the bands in every model and once unlocked could be used on any carrier, GSM or CDMA or even overseas. We poped his Verizon SIM into mu unlocked iPhone that was originally AT&T just to verify the verizon thing and lo and behold Verizon poped up in the top left corner with 4G LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] equake:
Has there been any confirmation from Samsung or legitimate source about a single SKU?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starcms:
Much of this has radically changed in the past year or so. Many unlocked phones can be bought on the Google Play Store, Amazon, or direct from manufacturer.

Carriers are no longer (or very rarely) still subsidizing phones. You finance, lease, or pay up front. And if you are going to pay up front, might as well get the unlocked version from Amazon for cheaper.

Verizon has to activate phones with LTE Band 13, ATT and T-Mobile have always been on the sim card/GSM train so an unlocked phones work fine there too. Sprint is really the only place you may still have an issue activating a non-branded Sprint phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jayt1989:
Snapdragon 820 modems

My understanding of the Snapdragon 820 chip is that it's modem supports all North American telcos.

I suspect that only if they somehow permanently disable the bands and/or lock the bootloader, then the phone/radios should be able to be used on any carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Veid71:
is this the case for both the s7 and s7 edge?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
The problem is at least according to the spec sheets, the T-Mobile version doesn't support CDMA - so you will be limited in some areas where normally you'd fall back to 3G or 1x for calls and texts, or if you are in a weak LTE area where VoLTE doesn't work well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] myphone12345:
Yes, both models appear to have a single hardware variant for all carriers.

The question now is if someone (outside of Samsung) will be able to figure out how to "transform" say a Sprint variant to an AT&T variant. Hardware-wise the two variants are the same but the firmware and software will be different, enabling/disabling a different combination of bands and technologies for each carrier.

This kind of "transformation" was not possible with previous Galaxy devices as the hardware inside was slightly different for each carrier - and so it was not possible to reprogram the device for use on another carrier, at least not without losing certain features (say VoLTE) or bands.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Crewville96:
Would it be as simple as flashing a different firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] myphone12345:
Possibly. Until someone tries it, we won't know for sure.

If it will be possible then one can expect the S7 to be more valuable on the secondary market. A Sprint device variant for example now usually sells at a discount compared to say, an AT&T variant. However, if you could flash it to make it fully compatible with AT&T or T-Mobile then the Sprint variant would be worth more.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
I was watching a tear-down video by JerryRigEverything. The device was clearly a T-Mobile S7, but the motherboard is labeled SM-G930V/P/R4/A/T. So they all at least have the same motherboard, which may not be all that unusual.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] equake:
Excellent picture capture. I wonder if antenna config is the same for all variants.

Perhaps something like QPST can unlock all mobile network bands.

My 2 cents
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lopri:
Wow, you've got an amazing set of eyes!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] myphone12345:
The antenna config HAS to be the same since all models share the same FCC ID and were tested as one (otherwise, Samsung would have had to test them separately since differences in antenna design could have an impact on the device's radio performance).

Also, this is not just about unlocking different bands. I am hoping that you could completely transform a device from one carriers' variant to another's so that you could get things like say VoLTE and visual voice mail to work correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nufclad:
So does this mean the SD820 US/Chinese models, has the same LTE bands as the UK Models?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] highhacker:
Well I have my sprint branded s7 tore apart and it also has the SM-G930V/P/R4/A/T ON IT AS WELL. WT

20c is now being pushed out to TWN devices, so check your system updates.

Personally I'm sticking with LP as I prefer to keep root.
[G4 General] pipeysh:
OTA or LG Bridge?
[G4 General] redred89:
just checked via OTA..
[G4 General] DeadSOL:
Can someone tell me how the battery life compares to Lollipop?
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
OTA
[G4 General] pipeysh:
no available update via OTA for me
[G4 General] since HOX:
same here no OTA
[G4 General] pipeysh:

where can i find the kdz file?

can't seem to find the folder location

i want to share the file to other twn device users out there

[G4 General] bobsie41:
I received my 20c update ota on my TWN device yesterday afternoon.

Early impressions - battery life is equally or more abysmal than all of the other Marshmallow kdz's that I have tried - from a fresh install (factory reset)
[G4 General] itm:
Just updated mine to v20c-TWN-XX via LG Bridge. Will be keeping a close eye on battery drain....
[G4 General] oracleoftruth:
I just got 20c TWN. Battery seems pretty much the same (i've removed facebook). Which is rubbish since doze is supposed to Help. Also where is the sd as internal storage thing?
[G4 General] pipeysh:
kdz file directory

where can i find the kdz file?

i tried searching every lg bridge directory, can't seem to find it
[G4 General] bobsie41:
I've just reverted back to nice stable Jellybean. 20c is just as bad as the rest. Love this LG phone but, if I bought it with marshmallow installed, I would be sending it back.
[G4 General] muhammadnajmi96:
should i update or not? hmm
[G4 General] the_scotsman:

[G4 General] JamaicaNater:
Can you link me the tread that helped you root?
[G4 General] zPacKRat:
too early to tell, I will say that day one has been awful. I updated using LG Bridge.
[G4 General] bigdbag:
No idea what you guys are on about. This is my first time running marshmellow of any kind on my g4 and my phone is much snappier and responsive than before this update. Not to mention battery life is fantastic thanks to Doze. I have marshmellow on several other devices, and even though this one is from the manufacturer OS, it feels about the same as my other devices.
[G4 General] bobsie41:
I do. Just got caught in a time warp for a few moments.
[G4 General] Spillunke:
Hi all. A friend ordered a G4 from UK. He received a H815 with software version 20a-TWN-XX. Official bootloader unlock isnt support by LG.

Is there a possibility to root or flash a german/international software, like with kdz or so to unlock the bootloader?
[G4 General] sublimnl:
My understanding is that Doze takes a few days to figure out your usage before doing anything. So anyone saying that it sucks 24 hrs after upgrading needs to wait it out.

BTW those of you with mm already... Does swiping down the notification tray still auto expand the toggles? I hate that so much.
[G4 General] FrodgE:
Thought I'd try MM. Poking around the menus I found a battery optimizations exclusion list.

Under LP, when going for a run the voice feedback on sportstracker pro would stop after about 5 mins. From the logs it looked like it was being killed. Using MM and adding the app to the exclusions list it continued to work perfectly. No doubt the app could be written to avoid this problem but the dev is busy with life so that's unlikely.

It could also be that MM is less aggressive in killing background applications than LP. I don't want to loose root but I use the run tracker more than root applications so I guess I'm going to stick with MM. Very tempted to sell this handset and buy an EU version.

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

Yep still does it.
[G4 General] bobsie41:
As far as I'm aware, 20a-TWN-xx doesn't exist?
[G4 General] Spillunke:
Im sure, out of the box it was 20a-TWN-xx. We updated to 20c-TWN-?? Dont know the full name of the 20c version.
[G4 General] bobsie41:
To my knowledge, 20b was the first Marshmallow kdz officially made available to the TWN model.
[G4 General] Spillunke:
20a was installed, 20b was a ~49mb OTA update and 20c a ~1,6GB update with LG bridge on PC.

But its mit important anymore. He will sending the Taiwan G4 back and order a international/german version, which can be unlocked succesfully.
[G4 General] amonrei:
Not yet for me. Rooted with EU 10f image. Is there root for MM already?
[G4 General] lastsamuraial:
Nope
[G4 General] fantomscribla:
How is 20c's battery life?
[G4 General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
People that have updated to 20c will need a few days to determine this. Only a few have updated so far, so give it time.
[G4 General] Korov:
I'm getting the best MM battery life yet. Pretty close to Lollipop.
[G4 General] luchoitu:
First days was terrible, so much that i had to do a factory reset to try it better, after that and in the next days things started to go better, now (a week later) battery life come close to LL and last a full day of moderate/heavy usage

[G4 General] fantomscribla:
I'll switch to MM this evening, I heard Doze was taking a while to function properly. Thanks for the replies everyone! :D
[G4 General] luchoitu:
That's correct, the very first days after the factory reset (i recommend it to everyone to do it after the update) i didn't notice the Doze effect but right now i see it works and it's pretty awesome, at night when i go to sleep and wake up in the morning battery loses only 3%
