[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] BlackjackWidow:
I just read about this. According to this review: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2500353,00.asp

"It (Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy S7) has LTE bands 2/3/4/5/7/8/13/18/19/20/38/39/40/41. Samsung unfortunately removed key LTE bands for the other major US carriers—12 for T-Mobile, 17 for AT&T, and 25 for Sprint—to make it difficult to use this model elsewhere."​

I doubt it was Samsung that removed it - more likely, Verizon had them remove the others. Just a guess, tho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] UndeadCircus:
Is there an ELI5 version of this thread? What is the importance of knowing which "bands" are supported?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] _Dennis_:
Using the phone LTE in other carriers. Carriers 'own' certain frequency bands which are used to communicate with your phone. Your phone and the tower need to be able to use the same frequency band in order to communicate.

Most phones work on 2G/3G world wide (except on CDMA carriers like Verizon, generally most phones don't use the tech/frequencies for verzion nor would Verizon allow then on their 2G/3G bands of they did). But LTE is new enough that most phones don't support the 20 odd frequency ranges used (2G/3G use less then 10 combined for most of the world).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] euler74:
The modem supports all the bands, Verizon disables it in software. What a bummer! I will suggest you to buy G950U or US cellular model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] gunz.jones:
Or flash the firmware of the carrier you want to enable the modem which has been successfully posted on a few xda threads and other sites. All snapdragon us variants can be cross flashed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] shakkirk:
You meant, if I flash those firmware on my Verizone S7, can I able to get LTE on my my mobile without any problem? please note am outside US and using efferent carrier sim.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] gunz.jones:
Yes, AT&T bands are in that firmware, evoke TMO bands are in there. Most gsm carriers have all bands except Verizon and Sprint bands enabled
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] shakkirk:
Sorry I am noob, can you please give me a step by step installation link?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] gunz.jones:
I don't have links to the firmware, I'm at work. If you look at updato.com you can find the latest for the g930a, or you could get the g930u nougat update. There are plenty of threads that work through Odin usage in each forum in the QA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] skindeep75:
att s8 question

do you know if an unlocked att s8 will work on page plus ? ( basicly Verizon ,same towers)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] gunz.jones:
You'd have to check on the s8 forums. An s7 probably would as I think only the Sprint and tmo phones were simlocked. Not sure though as I've only had my ST phone and read the vzw phone being used on several carriers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] skindeep75:
just did a live chat with Samsung and they said an att unlocked s8 will work 100 percent with Verizon, heres to hoping shes right lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] intense21:
So are you saying that the actual bands are software based not hardware based. So all we have todo is flash the right ENG and ROM and wala I have right radios for my carrier?? US Based.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] gunz.jones:
Yes, flashing the fw of the carrier loads the correct radio drivers. The radios are hardware based, but locked down by what the firmware has the instructions to look for and run.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] charter3554:
Great explanation, I’m new to this stuff - we all have to start somewhere right?

So is root required to flash? The reason I ask is that I’d like to buy an S7 but I want to be able to WiFi hotspot tether without carrier provisioning and some versions of the phone allow it while I’m pretty sure others block that (like att)...By the way do you know which version would be best to flash to for WiFi tethering and ALL LTE bands made available? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] gunz.jones:
I use the hybrid rom that is loaded with vzw and debloated custom to my needs. It has tethering enabled. You'll just need to use root long enough to get the flashfire setup going and then once you're done it is unrooted. You'll have to check other threads regarding performance tweaks if you decide to stay rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] charter3554:
I thought the bootloader was locked on the Verizon S7 which doesn't allow rooting?... So rooting actually is possible on the Verizon S7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] gunz.jones:
Using the engineering kernel for nougat you can achieve toy, but it's buggy and slow since it wasn't meant to be used for daily devices. That's why the hybrid ton was developed to show some root uses without needing to keep root, like removing bloat permanently or getting the tethering service setup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] charter3554:
Ahh, that makes sense, thanks for clarifying. Do you have a link, I didn't see the post for the hybrid ROM root method.. and thanks! I gave you a thank via XDA also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] gunz.jones:
https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/development/rom-t3629175 follow the instructions there. There's also a link if you want the unbranded version through the u firmware which should also achieve working on most carriers
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rapazzo:
Alright guys I just want to rant a little as I am upset. BestBuy totally screwed my preorder up.

I preorder a black s7 edge from BestBuy on Feb 23rd. Expected release date of March 11th and so forth. Then March 1st I see that some are already getting there packages (I did the in store pickup - my first mistake) Getting a little inpatient I decided to check my order and it says expected release and pick up date as March 7th. Stoked I waited until today and got a pick up email saying it was time (YES!!!!)

Go into the store today and they give me the Gear VR and the SD Card that comes when you preorder from bestbuy... but no phone... I asked the girl is that everything? And shes like let me check and notices that its missing. She asked the guy standing next to hear and they went over the preorder pick up sheet that they had, as I started to get worried that they messed up. All I could see was every other persons preorder s7 in the back - taunting me.

They eventually said that they didn't have my order yet (I mean I only preordered on the first day...) and that it should come in later today. I waited around and then was fed up and ended up just leaving. I called BB at they're phone to check about an hour later... They dont expect my order until the 11th. So everyone else who preordered can pick it up today... while I wait until Friday. Pretty upset about it.

Ended up calling the store and asked if they were in stock and they said Yes they had 2 more and I'm like you got to be kidding me, I cancel my preorder and go back to the store to just purchase it there... To bad they ended up running out of stock before I got there.

Thank you bestbuy for ruining my release day... I now have to wait for them to come back into stock before I can get anything

tl:dr Bestbuy messed up my preorder, then called and said they had stock. Cancelled preorder and went back and they were out of stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] adocorp:
That really sucks for you..

I'm picking mine up today at bestbuys and now concerned.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Tectas:
That sucks, sorry for you and I'll hope you'll get it soon still! Next time, maybe keep your order just in case till you have the device in hand before canceling it :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jonsic:
That's terrible, I'm so sorry. There was no way they could hold a phone for you while you were on your way back?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] adocorp:
I just picked mine up but they screwed up on what I ordered.. They were trying to give me an Galaxy S7 instead of the edge. It even had my name on it! Luckily they had extras on the edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rapazzo:
I hope you had better luck than I did :(

Unforuntely it was first come first serve... I mean its not like I preordered it in February :rolleyes:

Yeah just wasnt thinking, I shouldnt have cancelled but I thought no one would go and buy the 2 left by the time I got there :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] _Dennis_:
I feel for you, but the original date quoted to you was 11 march, you canceled HOPING to get it earlier, and it didn't work. Honestly I am not impressed with Best Buy for this, but you can't blame them for your lack of phone right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mklass:
Don't know how best buy works but yeah that blows, personally before cancelling my pre order I would have called the store reserved a phone an paid a deposit maybe and said I was gonna come pick it up within the next hour. Once I'd got the phone from the store then I would of cancelled my pre order.

Maybe redo pre order and keep checking with the store if they have stock, if so do the above.

On a side note since you cancelled the original pre order did you have to give the gear vr back?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirtdawg57:
I thought the same thing happened to me. My mom had to pick it up because it is on her verizon account. I got the email this morning saying it was ready so my mom got off work to go get it. When she got there they said I wasnt on the list so it was not ready and sent her away. So I called them and told them I got an email saying it was ready, so they went and looked again and ended up finding it. So now she has to make another trip to go pick it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rapazzo:
Still have it and have not been billed for it, who knows maybe ill get 2 :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradfordv:
In general best buy screws up a lot. I dealt with tmobile because I'm on jod. But they screwed up in the store by my house with my mom's note 5. I was telling her what not to do with the s pen and their employee actually showed her and broke her son pen and refused to do anything but replace the phone after their employees screwed up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] _Dennis_:
What exactly did you expect them to do, fire the employee? If they replaced the device they did what they should have, anything they do to the employee should not be done in front of customers.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] spectrumfox:
Sorry to hear you had to go through all that.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy and my only complains was that their pickup line is SO SLOW.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Superguy:
I got an email that my S7 Edge was ready (my wife's wasn't). We went to the store to pick it up and I noticed the box only said S7 on it. I asked and they confirmed it was a vanilla S7. I told them I ordered an Edge and apparently someone had miskeyed the inventory and didn't see that I ordered an Edge. They said that while they had gotten in plenty of S7s in, they hadn't gotten any Edges yet. Yeah, it sucked as we would have at last liked to have one since my wife's S5 battery can barely hold a charge. But considering it wasn't even expected to be in until Friday? No big deal. They apologized but really, what more can they do but that? It's not like they had something they could give me right then. Mistakes happen.

Yeah it sucks it wasn't there, but it is it really worth getting all upset and spun up over? It's not like you're using a flip phone or you're going hungry. And you should have it by the end of the week - when it was supposed to ship anyway. It's not like you're not going to get it. You just aren't getting it as early as you hoped.

First world problems, man. Relax and be happy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rapazzo:
Doesnt look like I'm getting it today either lol, Even on the "expected" release date. Last time I will be shopping at BB

Hey guys,

is there a way to configure ambient display? Like customize the duration of screen on, the number of pulses, the sensitivity for enabling and so on?

Maybe there is an app or a xposed module?

Thank you!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dskvml:
So i guess there is no such app....

What Do you think, can this be handled via a normal app or via a xposed Module?

Regards
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
There are apps that allow similar functionality on the Play Store. Try searching Gravity screen and AC display.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dskvml:
Thanks for the advice. I guess they both dont use the stock ambient display.... I used at least gravity screen for a while on my nexus 4, but it is not working quite the way i expect it to work. but thanks anyways
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimRockford:
If you are using XPosed, you can config Ambient Display with the module "Enable Ambient Display". It was developed for the Nexus 5 but works also on my Nexus 5X.

Another possibility is to modify the build.prop-file. It is also described in the above-mentioned thread.

is it possible to add a non brand controller by it reading the indo from controller? like in this video for LETV phone

This is not possible without an IR receiver and afaik the 4c only has an IR blaster. If you can somehow determine the IR codes another way, there are remote apps that will let you import them, such as irplus.

Hi

Will there be a version of galaxy s7 (maybe just for some regions) with capability of using 2 sim cards and a microsd at the same time?:confused:

I think there's no 128gb version, so what if I want more space (128gb) with two sim cards inserted?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] stierney:
Highly doubt it. I don't know of any phone that has. The dual sim will probably be software locked for certain regions and I don't see Sammy redesigning their phone to accommodate 3 cards, I.E 2 sims and an sd.

Its a hybrid (sim or card) phone, so NO

Well I'm not sure about those phones above but I'm. Sure the motor x play is either dual sim or single simply with microsd but can't take all three at same time. Only going on the fact that I also have a motor x force
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] crazeazn:
the zenfone2, z3/z5 dual all have dual sim + micro sd available.

this is a deal breaker...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshew:
Hello,

In the past I had rooted my Rogers HTC One M8, but have since unrooted it and relocked the bootloader. I had accidentally installed the wrong version for something when bringing it back to stock, which caused no issues until I tried to install the OTA for Marshmallow (had "htc/rogers_wwe/htc_m8:5.0.1/LRX22C/463267.2:user/release-keys", but found out I needed "htc/rogers_wwe/htc_m8:5.0.1/LRX22c/463267.3:user/release-keys" or "htc/rogers_wwe/htc_m8:6.0/MRA58K/667457.7:user/release-keys"). I kept the notification up for a while, then decided to try to upgrade to the newer android version. I rooted my phone again to grab the OTA file from my device, then flashed the recovery and boot image files from this OTA file, then did "fastboot oem lock" to re-lock the device, up until which everything worked fine. After the device re-locked, whenever I turned it on, it would go to the white HTC screen like normal, then go to a black screen (but the backlight would be on, so it was obviously not off). I can press power + vol-up to get the phone to briefly turn the backlight off before repeating this process of white HTC screen and black screen with backlight on. Sometimes, it will turn off, if the timing is right, instead of repeating this process. When turned off, if I plug it in , the charging battery animation shows up like normal and the phone charges normally. I can also get to the bootloader by pressing vol-down right after the backlight turns off but before the white HTC screen shows up. I can get to the recovery from the bootloader, and do everything else you would normally be able to do from the bootloader. I just can't get the phone to fully boot up. I've wiped the cache and dalvik cache, and wiped my phone.

Fastboot commands work fine, but adb commands don't. Here is the result of "fasboot getvar all" if that would help diagnose my issue:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

Have you tried using an RUU?

I think that you should try to use an RUU to fix your phone. When my M8 acted up, I downloaded the RUU from HTC's website for my model, ran it, and had it do it's thing. It will nuke everything on your phone, but it is a good option if it will work.
