So basically, I have to flash either MTA or Rogers CSC firmware as I won't be getting any OTA for my phone.

Also I have questions regarding VoLTE,

1. Does VoLTE come with RWC Firmware only?

2. Will it solve the LTE->4g problem during call?

Thanks.

how is the battery on the new firmware? I'm on the first firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackMamba08:
I got the firmware update, but I'm rooted and xposed installed. Rogers phone but inserted a Virgin sim card as the first sim.

What is my next step to install the firmware. I've been ignoring it for past few days but the notification is getting annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] crutzulee:
Wait...What... Are people still getting the updates? I'm on rogers stock and my security patch is from April..

I keep checking for updates manually... no dice..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] msavic6:
On my Fido S7E, the battery life is terrible with the APG1 update. Android System and OS are running wild and the phone tends to heat up during light use which was never the case before. Overall, each progressive update has been worse and worse, the phone was fine with the initial update and I'm not sure how they release updates without testing thoroughly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] oxxshadow:
My phone doesn't heat up with light use. Fido s7e latest update. Maybe try a factory reset? I just wish battery was as good as the first firmware, now I can't get as much sot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] msavic6:
The issue remains that my device was extremely optimized to my usage on the previous update and my battery life was fine. Beyond factory resetting and wasting time setting everything up again, I have exhausted all options to troublshoot the Android System drain and they all point back to the recent updates. I'm not quite sure what goes on at Samsung when they release an update but they need to severely increase the amount of testing they do before release as this is getting ridiculous for a company as large as Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
I downloaded this one and flashed it via Odin on top of Telus PG1 rom. An error occurred in the middle. My phone was stuck at Download mode. I had to send it back for rma yesterday. I started to think if there was something wrong with rogers rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] gaganmohal:
I flashed the same firmware on my fido s7 edge without any issue.

What was the error?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] oxxshadow:
I hear you. How much % I'd Android system taking up for you
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] BCSC:
The update will roll out again, you will just have to wait for it. You can flash another but there must be a reason they pulled it.

As far as the VoLTE thing goes, because you have no option to enable it, you can not currently use it. Rogers CSC does enable the option but you can not change the unlocked version's CSC without rooting the phone. It does however fix the stupid 4g during calls thing. VoLTE is basicly LTE data while making calls.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
I got a loaner s6 from Samsung store which has volte setting; however, it's unable to call via volte, either. Its original csc was bmc. I tried to change it to xac and it went to fmc after rebooting. I guess non-xac model is unable to switch to xac.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Blue1k:
I just got S7 Edge Rogers and I read that with the latest update the Samsung optimize apps is messing with Google Framework. I disabled Google Framework and re enabled. And did the same for Google Play Services and wiped data. I turned off optimize apps and bam battery is great.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Lol. I had no issues recently, but just wanted to mess with it. Did what you said, and, bam. Battery went to ****. Turned optimization back on. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Blue1k:
Weird. I now get 6 hours on screen time with lots of outdoor use.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Me too, but it is the standby that suffers when I turn the optimization off.

If I use the phone a lot I can get 6+ screen time with feature on or off. But the curve is much steeper with optimization off, if I top the phone before bed and unplug it, then check in the morning. At least for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Blue1k:
It's the opposite for me. I get fantastic standby now. Lol Oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Never buying another canadian samsung phone, 2 weeks since the update went out im still stuck on the april update, **** off samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] msavic6:
I think they stopped the rollout after the initial few days. The update is not exactly bug free and it seems to cause additional android system drain compared to previous builds.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
Flashing non-home CSC on xac devices changes nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Vap0rX:
Can you explain which non-home CSC firmware are you talking about?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] crutzulee:
Have had the phone just over a week and am absolutely loving it! Battery life is awesome!! I would rather they hold off on the update until it actually offers some kind of improvement... I have no use for wifi calling...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] malek777:
Anyone here order an s7 from overseas and have it stuck in customs?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
I've definitely noticed odd quirks like random battery draining and such (not all the time, but enough to notice).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Ohhdayumm:
Even though i have a note 5 it is still canadian variant from telus and got a security patch 2onths after the intial release. Fyi june patch, got i in august lol just wait a bit its like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dreamer_cast:
Is it worth updating to the APG1 through Odin, or should I wait until Rogers releases again OTA?

dreamer
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
If your sole purpose for updating, is so that you could get wifi calling, you better have note 5, lg (forgot which), or later iPhone in the household. That would be only way for you to initially register for 911,and enable service.

Otherwise from s7 edge it will continually ask you to enable it, without actually accepting you in the system.

Once registered with officially supported phone, you can switch the sim in your edge,and turn on the feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
That's just unacceptable, maybe im just too used to the timely nexus updates, but still.

No OTA yet but the XAC firmware is out now.

Finally! Been waiting almost 3 weeks now for the update
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
This xac firmware is identical to all those that have been released by carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] gaganmohal:
Do anyone know how can i enable rogers Wifi calling and VOLTE on an international rom?

I already had it working on stock firmware. Just wondering what files are required for those features to enable in other roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dreamer_cast:
Hmmm....my number is actually still registered since I had wifi calling with an iphone 6 before so I wonder if it would work then...you are correct; all I'm after is the wifi calling feature,

dreamer
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
I appreciate the response. It must be my case only. 2 identical s7 edge phones, mine pre-registered 911 for wifi calling on iPhone last year,worked off the bat. On the other hand the second one sends the security sms for activation, I save the address, turn on wifi calling... Asks me to activate again. Rogers is no help, as they officially still don't support s7 or edge for that feature, yet.

Sadly, for me, people in the family that own iPhone's and note 5's are all on vacations.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] crutzulee:
Just got the update OTA on Rogers!!

Not sure if I really need it but setup WIFI calling anyway....Took 5 minutes and confirmed that it works as advertised..

Here's hoping that battery life is unaffected as I have been quite happy thus far..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] BCSC:
Rogers has released and then pulled the firmware now for the second time. Those guys suck.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] crutzulee:
I got it yesterday and can't say that I notice any difference today (which is a good thing). WIFI calling works though I really have no need for it.

Have they given a reason for pulling it? Was there anything different from the update I got yesterday than from the one originally pulled?

While I haven't seen any adverse effects so far, I would have rather not taken it if it is not fully baked..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] BCSC:
I snagged it during the first release and like you found nothing wrong with it. after your post, I checked the Samfirm tool and sure enough there was the PG1 update sitting on the server. Today when I checked they had reverted back to PD3. Rogers is horrendous so asking anyone with their customer service is worthless cause they don't know sh!t. Either way something got them to pull it again, but who knows what.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Third times the charm i guess, go rogers go!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dreamer_cast:
Well I didn't wait and used odin on the release that's out there on megadrive....no problems so far and wifi calling works fine for me...haven't noticed any issues yet also....

How's the battery life on APG update vs APB?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] the_OZONE:
Anyone using the Canadian model in the U.S.? I'm considering using it under AT&T. Just wondering what the drawbacks would be.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cheemacool:
I am on roaming most of the time in US and Roger's use AT&T in US. Its flawless , in bigger cities you will get LTE+ with really damn good speeds , better than rogers i will say and have LTE mostly and sometimes 3g. Overall its seamless and perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] the_OZONE:
Thanks for the reply, that sounds perfect. Can you confirm whether or not you are able to use VoLTE for calling when in the U.S.?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cheemacool:
Nope. VoLTE doesn't work in roaming, it just drops to 3g. Even Rogers says VoLTE only works on Rogers network only. WiFi calling works good though. I am really impressed with this device while roaming, you'll mostly get better data speeds than in Canada.

Update rolling on Rogers
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Aakash Kaushal:
Which security patch? ,August?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Its the patch from last month.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cheemacool:
No, its July security patch. Before Rogers paused the update due to battery drain issues. They resumed today , lets see how it goes now
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] msavic6:
Assuming that is the reason why they stopped the rollout out initially, I wonder if they will send out a seperate patch for users who already updated. The android system drain is exceptionally bad on this build especially when compared to the initial software shipped on the S7 Edge which was in my opinion the best software build the S7 Edge has seen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
I don't know how you would believe that they paused update due to battery drain, when rogers never acknowledged that there is a battery drain.

As with note 5 in the spring, they are late with updates due to wifi calling testing.

The fact that they resumed Ota with same firmware version as telus, is a proof that they never touched a thing regarding supposed battery drain.

There is no patch, when they did not change a thing from initial telus release. If they had changed just one byte of code, it would have been different firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jark99:
Im still running the original firmware the phone shipped with, if someone can report back the battery life on the new update and Android usage, that'd be most helpful!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cheemacool:
I am getting same battery life on new update as well
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:

My battery consumption was good on the initial S7E firmware, and I find that it's marginally better on APG1.

Well any news about august security update in canada?:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLoserman:
I doubt we'll get another one until they release nougat
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Ya i wouldn't count on it, maybe we'll get a patch in oct and nougat possibly late in dec at the earliest. This ain't no nexus with monthly updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Aakash Kaushal:
If we won't get new grace ui style in nougat then i will no longer stick with stock rom!:rolleyes:

Just checked the bill. Called c plex or something like that. Not sure if it's wet or dry. Covers full screen edges and all. They installed and said to leave it for a few hours to set up.

You have a 4k tv? Planning to make ton of video in 4k? Lexar, samsung, scandisk imo are the best in pro mode version($$$$). Of course the for normal use like musics and photos, all brand will work.

Perfect timing haha, it installed smoothly on my S6, I'm going to try to test it out for a few days and see how it works out.

I'll give the S7 Edge a few days off in the meantime.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
Believe it or not. Samsung is able to change CSC version without rooting the device. I filed a complaint with BBB, and a Samsung agent called me a while ago and instructed me how to change xac to FMC by entering a code. After that i got volte and wifi calling on my s7 edge.

I'm not supposed to release the code here; however, you can do the same thing if you file a case with BBB.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] oxxshadow:
whats BBB?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] that be me:
Better Business Bureau. Governing body for complaints made by consumers against businesses.

I had the same issues with wifi calling. Rogers added my IMEI to my account and it still didn't work. Did a factory reset and that did the trick. Now have wifi calling, voLTE and video calling.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] taylorheaps:
Is anyone running a custom ROM ? I'm running king rom but im wondering if I should try the others, in case one is better
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
No need for BBB...

No big deal... her is the code I was using it since my S4!

*#272*IMEI#
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
That doesn't work on all phones, mine is the unlocked one and it doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
If it's unlocked, what is the point of changing the CSC? You can install any Canadian firmware!

By the way, CSC is the initials of "Consumer Software Customization"! unlock phone does not need customization of a specific carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ma678:
Samsung disable certain features by CSC. For example, VoLTE and wifi calling are unavailable on unlocked devices from Samsung directly. *#272*imei is not accessible on xac version s7 edge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] BCSC:
An unlocked phone purchased directly from Samsung will not allow the phone to use VoLTE or WiFi calling on Rogers' network. These features are removed in the XAC CSC. Data sucks balls on phone calls as you only get 4G during calls which is pretty well worthless and unable to connect for the most part. So for people who have bought the unlocked version for use on the Rogers network, you have a partially crippled phone. Installing Rogers firmware absolutely does not enable these features as they are tied to the CSC which does not change. If you want your phone to work as well as one purchased from Rogers, you must change the CSC.

The only way being root as the *#272 code is disabled on XAC unlocked phones
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] BCSC:
If *#272 wasnt the code Samsung gave you, would you PM what they did give?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Vap0rX:
I have purchased from Samsung store (Unlocked). When running *#272*IMEI# I get this screen.

Is it that I am able to change the CSC on this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] taylorheaps:
Has anyone used Echoerom for their device here ? Wondering since I have to donate to access their forum and I can't figure out if it is bootable on our variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] BCSC:
That is in fact how you change CSC. Doing that will completely wipe your device so be careful. It looks like you got an unlocked phone with the MTS bloat built in instead XAC CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Vap0rX:
No I inserted Mobilicity SIM prior using Rogers SIM to avoid any Rogers bloatware installation.

Thanks for the warning regarding wipe. I was thinking to do it soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dankmemeeeee:
yo dude i tried changing my csc from FMC to XAC but it didnt work. I selected XAC but after it wiped my phone it said its still FMC. My phone was locked previously but I just unlocked it recently. I just want to get the fido bloatware off my phone. any tips?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] BCSC:
Ive had a similar issue to yours where I tried to change From FMC to RWC on my S6E. It took more than one attempt to make it stick. I cant guarantee that will work for you but if you havent reloaded your data yet, give it another shot or 2. If all else fails disabling the Fido apps may be your best bet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dankmemeeeee:
ah i see. also if i change the csc will the cellular signal become worse?
