This is the email I got from tmobile:

"Mr. ****,

I hope this email finds you well, I apologize we haven’t been able to speak pertaining this matter, as I stated in my previous voicemail here is the email you requested with our position regarding the bootloader concern on the Samsung Galaxy S7. As you are aware T-Mobile is always trying to resolve customers concerns and we are doing just that with Samsung right now and were actively engaged with them trying to find a resolution to allow customers to customize their handsets to their liking via the bootloader. I personally use a bootloader, so I can understand all of our customers frustrations. Again, we are working on a resolution but it can take some time and as of right now we unfortunately do not have an ETA. I do see that my customer care team spoke with you yesterday about returning your device which were more than happy to help with, if you would like to explore options with a different handset you may contact me at the number below or customer care at your earliest convenience.

At this point we're basically waiting for a miracle move by T-Mobile I suppose.

The Des guy said it's not simple because of carrier intellectual property right? If there's a legal angle to this, which seems fairly certain at this point, everyone involved is going to take whatever precaution they can to avoid violating the law.

For example, if Samsung agreed to lock the bootloader in order to protect T-Mobile IP via whatever legal avenue, what can they do in this situation except wait for T-Mobile to decide whether to resolve it? Maybe less likely but if the other carriers are involved on the same IP agreement, neither T-Mobile or Samsung has any way to remedy it after the fact. However, if the latter were the case, I would imagine Tmo would have been quick to put the blame onto the other carriers considering that's one of their common PR tactics.

Samsung is clearly fine with allowing users to void knox/warranty and disable samsung pay, just not in the U.S. If they're legally bound to not release it due to U.S. IP law, it doesn't matter who you talk to at Samsung, it won't happen.

Given T-Mobile has claimed their engineers are "looking into it," I think all we can do now is prod them for an update every once in a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UnixSlayer:
Because Samsung Pay doesn't work all around the world yet. But probably by the next new batch of Phones, S8... they'll probably all be locked down. There's recent articles on CNN Money explaining why Samsung is locking down all their products.....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] lost_:
Are you talking about the T-Mobile variant? None of my S5 SM-G900T has bootloader locked, and I have 4 in the family right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UnixSlayer:
I have the G900A.... it was rooted with Towel Root, and then updated to Lollipop with FlashFire.... but the bootloader is still locked....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Alarand:
Yeah, the ATT and Verizon editions were locked. T-mobile's wasn't

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

I don't think T-Mobile would have gotten involved if they didn't have a stake in this somehow. Why would Samsung support be told to redirect us to our carrier? Besides, isn't Samsung pay out in China and south korea? Where Samsung's official bootloader unlock is available and specifically disables Samsung Pay after using it?

I think there's some legal aspect at play here that's specific to the U.S. involving the carrier(s)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] lost_:
If you're that specific then yes, that's correct (your original statement was generically applied to all S5). Manufacturers have upped their games, so a live exploit through a yet to be found vulnerability, rather than a static exploit like existing rooters, seems to be what would bring us out of the darkness. I hope to be wrong here.

Anyway, folks, if you can't live without root or custom ROM, ask T-Mobile to email you the return labels soon and don't wait until the last minute. Print them and get the package ready. My window closes on April 10 and I'll ship mine back then if no resolutions are found.

Make sure you take advantage of the $30 Samsung Pay instant gift card whether you keep it or not.

All this time I was hoping the S7 would be the terrorists phone of choice.:laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] TSBroich:
I've seen enough. I'm going to plan a trip to the T-Mobile store, return this and getting something else that will allow me to unlock it. Sad, as I really liked this phone.

Looks like the Note 5 will be the latest Samsung device I own, and nothing beyond that unless this is resolved in the future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Tiffany84:
Trust me when I say that, I'm dying to see an unlock just as much as anyone but I could not imagine going back to a previous phone just because of root. Now maybe when something new comes out, like possibly the M10 I could see jumping for because of root if the phone was up to par. But for me, this phone is just simply to amazing to fall back to a previous or tad older phone. I loved my Note 5 and it was rooted and had a custom rom on it but I'd still take this phone stock. Just me. Still hoping T-Mobile steps up to the plate. Would make me want to give them my money ten times more.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] TSBroich:
The Note 5 may not be totally new, but it's still the latest device in the Note line, and it holds up alongside the current flagships just fine in my opinion. It's a beautifully made piece of hardware, and it lets me do whatever I want to it. That's the way it should be, imo.

Perhaps this is just my perspective, and only my perspective: When you take a device with slightly older specs that lets me do what I please with it, and compare it to another device that's got some slightly newer specs but doesn't let me do anything outside of what the manufacturer tells me I can do, the choice is obvious.

I bought the S7E because it finally had everything that made it a worthwhile purchase for me. The one and only reason I skipped the Note 5 was for the lack of expandable storage. However, I'll take an unlocked device with root and only 64GB of internal storage over a locked down device with expandable storage when it comes down to it.

Sorry, I'm just ranting at this point, as this whole thing really pissed me off. If Samsung just wants to be Apple, cool. I'll happily buy the S7E again if this is corrected in the future. Until then, I can wait to own this thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] igotroot:
Sounds exciting!!!! If they can unlock the bootloader like that, we will be good to go!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] duvalbmarley:
Yes international version works with at&t or tmobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NotATreoFan:
The main thing to consider is LTE bands. Although it doesn't help with the bootloader lock, Verizon's S7 is SIM unlocked, but doesn't support Band 12 on T-Mobile. If you live in an area where Band 12 is a necessity, then you may need to stick it out with a T-Mobile model.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] duvalbmarley:
If it's not a tmobile phone band 12 doesn't work anyways it's usually stuck on band 4 for the international phones I use
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] ice5192:
Looks like there doing ok right now watch the topic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NotATreoFan:
If Band 12 is on the phone and enabled, it will work. Assuming the Exynos model or China variant is purchased, then they most likely will not have it. But if they happen to, then it would work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] duvalbmarley:
The Nexus supports band 12 it doesn't work on tmobile just on Google Fi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mrbigdrawsz:
Will do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NotATreoFan:
Which Nexus? The Nexus 6 absolutely works on Band 12. I had that phone for 10 months.

You can freeze the OTA notification through Package Disabler Pro. I'm not sure of the exact package names though.

Install Nova Launcher, then pick "Activities" widget and drop it in your homescreen. Now click Settings icon and try to find the activity that changes Lockscreen effects (In my device running Lollipop is called "Unlock Effect / UnlockEffect Activity"). Pick it, you should see an icon in your homescreen. Click it and you will be able to change your unlock effect. Probably since MM is beta this feature is not enabled in Settings app, but buried in the app code. Please tell me if it Works since I don't have my Note 5 atm.

You WANT there to be a lock in the address bar to show that you're connecting to a secure site! Also, Internet Explorer is a web browser for the Microsoft Windows operating system.

No, there is no setting for the "internet explorer". Honestly I really want to know how you got IE on Android and why you would go through so much trouble for such a sh*t browser.

[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalkov:
Based on the fact that the repository is still empty, I think it will take a while until we have an official version. Would be pretty cool though.

That sounds amazing. Becoming more technical is exactly the reasoning behind RTAndroid. Although we gave up on RPi2 as it was super slow.

[Remix OS for PC] Secrettom:
Running into a super weird problem. I've gotten the beta working on my Acer c720 Chromebook and Macbook Air (Via USB boot) without any issues, and really enjoying the stability and speed increase. However, when trying to boot into Remix on my main Laptop (Which worked with the Alpha, albeit with resolution issues.) things start fine, boots normally, resolution corrects itself, shows me the desktop and I can move the mouse and acts completely normal for about 15 seconds before giving up and rebooting again and going into a death loop. I've tried this with fresh installs, different sticks and the USB that I've been using on the Chromebook/Mac (Thinking the initial setup was causing a problem possibly.) but with the same effect.

I'm not seeing anyone reporting these sorts of issues (Since my laptop can actually boot and load Remix, just not keep it open) and I was wondering if anyone else was running into this issue or could know of any solutions. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dodgeboy:
So, like many of you, I got my S7 Edge yesterday afternoon from the pre-order. I previously had a LG V10, and I could regularly get better than 100mbps down with the speedtest.net app, on my home tower (as well as many other towers). I saw 135x40 several times on that phone (Band 4 tower, obviously). Since getting the S7 Edge, I haven't been able to break about 40mbps down. It seems like it's less than half the download speed of the V10, in every scenario. I did a *#0011#, and although it is connected to Band 4 on a 20MHz channel, the carrier aggregation almost always says "not config". I did see it aggregate with Band 12 5MHz channel once, but it didn't seem to help the speed test much. Are the carrier aggregation capabilities of this phone less than the V10? I can't figure out why the speed tests would be so much worse. I would think that everything would be the same or better than the V10... Is it possible that moving my SIM from the V10 to the S7E (instead of using a new SIM) could've caused this?

Obviously I'm not doing anything that requires more than 20mbps of throughput, so this isn't really a deal breaker. However, it is disappointing and a bit concerning.

[EDIT: This was fixed by changing the APN from IPV6 to IPV4 (see post below). Thanks to Chakra for the advice.]
