[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yykcw:
I am currently using Nexus5 with android 6.0.1. I have used it for 3 years, everything works fine.

However, starting from yesterday, whenever I try to connect my N5 to my router's wifi, the wifi speed gone very low (<1KB) and this also slow down the internet speed of all devices that connected to the router. All things back to normal after disconnecting the wifi.

What is the cause of the problem? It is strange because the phone looks good and it happens suddenly. I tried to reset/reboot both the phone and the router several times but nothing helps. Please help!

I have been trying kitkat (cm11, aokp, aospa) recently and I was amazed by its performance. However I noticed that after using it like 30 minutes this bug happens: turn screen off and turn it back on right after that it takes like 10 secs or even more than that for the screen to wake. It is just annoying. I wonder if this happens because I move to kitkat from custom rom or it is a bug. Kitkat development is stopped for a long time but it seems like no one had such problem when they commented on kitkat threads. Can anyone help me?
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
its a Bug in the old Kitkat kernel... it was solved in LP but never in KK

Even when I install zd kernel the bug is still there. But thanks for your explanation!

ZD kernel is only a zImage... the bug is in ramdisk

So I have never had this problem before. I want to backup my contacts from my phone into my outlook 2007, they flat out delete all my contacts on my phone! Not only that but if I get a new number on my phone and I want to update my outlook on my desktop, it gets deleted. This gets very annoying and I have never had this problem before, normally they merge my numbers from both. I have looked for a setting to fix this, but I have failed to do so.

If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated! This gets very annoying when i have to go around asking for numbers AGAIN.

Hey there!! Maybe you can give me some advice on how I can modify the partition system on this device. The internal storage has 2 partitions, one of 0.98GB and the other of 4.94GB.

I want to purchase a Sprint GS 7 and sim unlock to use on GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile.

What is the process official and other options for sim unlock.

Never had Sprint service before, thanks for your assistance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] brendan802:
First step is to not stick a sprint sim card in the phone. I played around with mine without a sim card and to get the stupid vr game promo i stuck the card in and next thing it did was install all the carrier garbage bloatware automatically and it changes the boot screen and to my understanding it sim locks to the carrier that the sim card uses. Complete bullsh!t I am irate and stuck with all of this garbage bloat courtesy of sprint and the locked bootloader thanks to samsung. Im returning mine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TehPirate_:
I bought my sprint s7 full price through best buy.

First thing I did was swap the sprint Sim with my AT&T Sim (testing first Sim inserted). Prompted with invalid Sim error.

Appears the sprint phones come with activation software pre-installed that locks it to their network. You need them to unlock it from their end, no unlock codes.

When I put the sprint Sim back in, it didn't install all the bloat. It installs everything if you activate the phone; unactivated Sim, no account.

According to sprint, the phone needs to be activated on the network for 50 days and paid in full to be unlocked. They unlocked mine without meeting those standard because of poor support from a rep before I bought it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] markriveranig:
After you get it unlocked, you can just insert any sim (gsm/cdma) after?

I don't see any settings to change the network mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] noreboy:
I'd like to know the same. I'm traveling over seas in less than two week and would like to use while over seas with the local carrier. Not so much concerned with using it with other carriers domestically though.

I'm also curious if the phone can be used for data on other carries once unlocked. I wonder because with my current Sprint GS5, Sprint unlocked it, but it does not work with data when over seas. Come to find out after a lot of research, there is no solution and everybody with unlocked Sprint GS5s also cannot get data to work without wifi.

OP, you may want to keep that in mind and do your research. If Sprint's GS7 is like their GS5, you will not be able to get data on the phone with other carriers even if unlocked, unless connected to wifi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TehPirate_:
Yes, any Sim CDMA or GSM will work. And data works perfectly for me. The s7 is the same device for every carrier where the only thing that changes is the software.

Here's a screenshot of my sprint phone on cricket with data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] asuh:
With the Sprint model, there will be LTE issues overseas depending on where you go and which carrier you use.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65825260&postcount=14

I went to UK in 2013, had my S4 with me and was able to get data. I was not, however, able to get fast LTE speeds. Sprint cripples their LTE bands on purpose for some reason so that they become less useful on many international carriers.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

The main difference between models on each carrier are bloatware they add and LTE bands they add and delete. Sprint always gets rid of useful LTE bands like LTE 7 which is a popular worldwide band.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TehPirate_:
LTE 7 is enabled for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] asuh:
Correct. Cricket is owned by AT&T, a carrier who did not get rid of band 7, despite the fact that they use Sprint's 3G network as well as CDMA. Do you have bands 25 and 26 as well? If so, that would be great!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TehPirate_:
You're also correct but this is a Sprint S7 network unlocked. And yes, I do. 25 and 26 are the first priority for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] asuh:
Interesting. Okay, so do you *also* have LTE 29/30/40 that AT&T has been adding to their phones?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TehPirate_:
I don't actually. Knowing this I'm going to focus on attempting to add these bands (toggle them). Trying to get a hold of Sprint currently to get my MSL code.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] rafyvitto:
The Galaxy S7 is DUC meaning it can be unlocked for domestic use, and it will automatically unlock tru a programming update sent OTA after the device has been active on the account(in good standing) for more than 50 days.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] stylin350:
Just bought a sprint s7 yesterday since it was cheaper for me and had it unlock from an ebay listing for about $15. It was quick like 2 minutes and easy. Its done remotely on the person's end with your phone connected to computer. I'm using it on Tmobile and is working great. I get lte speeds and call quailty is great. Getting to the service menu above ##3282# you can edit the band priorities so you can have the wanted bands 1st, 2nd, and so forth. Just need the MSL# which they can get you.

If this is against the rules sorry, but just thought I give my experience with unlocking the sprint s7.

Why AP and CSC ONLY?

there are four files, I flashed all four and the baseband changed to U version

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

What about ODIN?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
Samsung Pay does not work Sprint phone running on U firmware. Also, DO NOT put in any Sprint sim card because it'll lock your phone again. You can try the T firmware later, but I think U firmware is cleaner because there are many T-mobile bloatware in the T firmware.

ODIN works too. I flash all 4. But if unlocked by third party then don't flash it back to Sprint stock firmware. And don't put in any Sprint sim card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Centerspike:
I did a lot of looking into it, and It's the G930F (International) firmware that doesn't work with Samsung Pay, while the US Version of G930U does. I later found out it was because I did not flash bootloader/baseband files. (See my other reply)

Good question, and I actually answered it myself before reading this post.

When I first started this whole mission, I came across older posts that said ONLY to flash AP file, that it has everything in it, on older versions of ODIN. As a matter of fact, when using the version of ODIN that post suggested, I got errors when trying to flash other files, such as the bootloader, etc. So naturally by the time I got the phone to work, I was flashing the AP files, and Found I could flash CSC as well. This is why the baseband did not change.

Before I realized to flash ALL files, tonight I changed stock firmware to G930T , to see if I could get Samsung Pay to work, and flashed AP, CP, and CSC. The baseband matched and everything was working great! Then I tried Samsung Pay.. it didn't work! Access Denied message again. I started thinking about it, and decided to try to flash the bootloader file, and that did the trick. I was so used to previous versions of ODIN not working to flash the BL, that I just assumed it wouldn't work.

So that's on me, I've learned quite a bit this last week. This is my first Samsung phone, I'm used to flashing my Motorola phones that I've had over the years, but when Samsung Pay arrived.. I couldn't resist.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
I must have remembered it wrong then. Good to hear that it works for you now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] b-16707:
Are you guys sure you dont need a root for remote unlocking services to work with 6.0.1? These guys are requesting my phone be rooted.

Trying out gsmzambia now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
No root needed. What firmware version are you on? Most unlockers won't ask you to root if you have version PG1 or below. Some will require root for higher firmware version. But some just don't require at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] b-16707:
Trying out gsmzambia now. Doing the teamviewer thing with them right now. This guy hasnt raised any concerns after I told him version and build unlike the ebay guys. Ill report back.

Can anyone confirm if this is permanent unlock or will inserting a sprint chip relock the phone? (not that im going to insert a sprint chip)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
If you keep using the Sprint stock firmware then you'll be fine. But if you flash your phone to U firmware then a Sprint sim card will lock your phone again. And if you flash it back to the Sprint stock firmware it'll also lock your phone no matter what sim you put in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] b-16707:
thanks for this info. I had read this in past posts. Good to confirm. The guy at zambia said a sprint sim will relock it. Im not 100% sure if he means what you mean but i wont try.

Im fine with the sprint software. Not too much bloat. Just want to prioritize LTE bands since ill be putting this on an ATT mvno. Hoping I get some sort of LTE with this and OTA updates would be nice...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
I think auto network configuration will get you LTE nicely already. If not then just manually add APN.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] b-16707:
GSMzambia was amazing. Smooth hassle free ultra fast process!

Right now the phone is giving the error "unable to establish a wireless data connection LTE:ESM-33 EMM-x." I have no idea what this means. I may need to do manual APN settings.

Other than that, messaging works. Since this was a freedompop phone, Im still trying how to get calls to work. It keeps sending me back to the freempops dialer and im unsure how to stop it from doing that.

I just figured out that i only have a single sim tray in this s7. All s7s are dual sim right? I may have to get a dual sim tray.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
Not quite sure if this is relevant, but after OTA update to PL6 from PJ2 (Sprint stock firmware), my phone can no longer connect to Outlook (app and web), Onenote and Onedrive. It seems it has trouble with live.com server. So I flashed it back to PJ2 for the time being.

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

Factory reset might help getting rid of the freedompop bloatware, assuming their bloatware were just installed on the stock firmware (not built-in). If they are built-in then you'd have been running a custom ROM.

I think only dual sim version (maybe international or European?) S7's have dual sim tray. All US versions have single sim tray. Unless you mean a sim tray that will take one sim and one micro sd card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] turbozapekanka:
If unlocked by third party?

Because mine works (unlocked by Sprint)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] b-16707:
wow why didnt i think of that, thanks very helpful reminder! I thought all this was baked into the rom. Got rid of the freedompop bloat by simply uninstalling and now my calls are dialing out via the stock phone app!

Oh i mean are all US versions dual sim capable? I thought all S7 were dual sim capable (regardless of what type of sim/sd tray it came with) from the factory? Maybe Im wrong?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
I remembered it wrong. It's the F firmware that doesn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] turbozapekanka:
I thought F is another hardware also (Exynos), so it is not possible to flash it with U (Qualcomm) firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
I think all US versions can only take single sim card. If you still have trouble with the Freedompop bloatware you can try Package Disabler. Then you don't have to factory reset your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] b-16707:
darn it!! i bought this s7 thinking all s7 in the world came factory dual sim capable. Blah. Lol. Lesson learned!!!!

I got rid of the freedompop bloat just by simply uninstalling. It wasnt baked into the rom. For anyone else for future reference!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
Or maybe the G9300/G9350 version. It's the international version that doesn't work with Samsung Pay.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] b-16707:
One thing I did notice is that wifi settings dont hold after reboot. Lame.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
If they are dual sim capable then there should be a sim2 option in the network setting.

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

That's odd. It should hold. Maybe something wrong with the unlock? If you don't have this problem before the unlock then ask your unlocker and see if they can help you solve the problem or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] b-16707:
For future reference. Those with freedompop phones. Once you get your phone from freedompop, take out the sprint branded sim and do a factory reset. This will save you woes later on with having to deal with the fremdompop bloat that will cause problems with the built in phone dialer. Your phone should be factory fresh without any extra software....no extra sprint software either after the factory reset!

Then go ahead with gsmzambia for the unlock.

The freedompop s7 is currently the cheapest you can get for a great condition one at $229 (as of writing). Ebay, barely if ever, gets this cheap.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
How did you buy it for $229? I just saw their price at $449.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] b-16707:
oh I guess they raised the price. It was reported on slickdeals for $229 a week ago or so.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
Oh, I see. Lucky you;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] turbozapekanka:
It was a price mistake and I understood (from the comments) they cancelled a lot (of not all) orders.

The cheapest by far was $309 deal from Best buy for refurbished U version (gold only tho)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Centerspike:
Hey B,

I saw that you had LTE issues but as the thread went on, I'm going to assume you resolved it...

I had the same issues, On Sprint Phone after unlocking for ATT, I had to go to ATT website and manually add the APN.... A restart fixed it. When I switched to the G930U firmware I didn't have to do this. It loaded the ATT APN automatically.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] b-16707:
Thanks for the info. I think there were issues with samsung pay with the U firmware right? The P stock firmware im using right now has no bloat so im loving it. You cant even tell its a sprint phone as theres no mention of it.

I didnt get any errors with LTE after i entered APN settings. Reception seems normal, nothing stands out to me as being worse or better.

So far after using the phone for 2 days now. Im 100% glad I bought this cheaper P version and getting it unlocked. Really amazing phone. Best phone I have owned so far (and Ive owned alot!)

just recently paid my wife's phone off with sprint. its a g7. briefly asked the lady about unlocking it. she said it must not be active on the account. we are going to switch to t mobile so i want to make sure i do the procedure correctly. there seamed to be lots of good info just not a step by step procedure in the same post. we have a spare phone she can use on sprint till we switch just want her phone unlocked first. let me know if this is the correct way to do it step 1 make sure the phone isn't active on the line step 2 call sprint and have them unlock it. anything special i should tell them or just tell them i would like to get the phone carrier unlocked? also i should get my msl code correct? a little confused on what else i need to do on my end after sprint says its unlocked. i also would like flash the u firmware. after that the phone would basically be a unlocked version bought directly from Samsung correct? is there a link for the correct way to flash it and how to use odin. I'm a htc guy so Samsung stuff is new to me.

The Sprint lady told you wrong. If your phone is paid off, and the account current, Sprint has to unlock it for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] cjcalhoun85:
I worded it wrong. She said they will unlock it. It just can't be in use when they do it. That's probably wrong also who knows.

I plan on making a step by step instructions and post on here for other people to know.
