I have 930P that is GSM unlocked. I just flashed this 930U. Do I lose GSM? Keeps saying invalid sim when I put in GSM sim. If it isnt suppose to work can I revert back to 930P and get unlock back? Please help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
I'm in a similar situation. I have an unlocked 935P that I've been using on Ultra Mobile (T-mobile mvno). It was on Verizon ROM when I bought it. Then I flashed it to 935U ROM. I didn't lose the unlocked flashing ROM or OTA upgrade. But it became locked again after I put in a Sprint sim card (tried to activate on RingPlus). Now when I put in the Utlra Mobile sim card It'd say it's invalid and it'd keep trying the Hands Free Activation.

I tried to flash the U ROM (PI3) but still locked. I can't flash it back to the stock Sprint ROM because the bootloader version is too high now. Can't downgrade. So how do I get it unlocked again? Any idea?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] myphone12345:
Isn't the very latest Sprint/P ROM using the latest booloader? You might be looking at an older Sprint ROM.

That said tough, I am not sure how flashing to the Sprint firmware would help you since without having active post-paid Sprint service, the Unlock UIUC menu option probably won't work anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
I don't want to flash the latest Sprint firmware (PJ2 or PK1) because I'm afraid that I won't be able to flash it back to the U firmware PI3. I'm not sure if they have the same bootloader version or not. If the Sprint bootloader version is higher than the U PI3 bootloader, then I won't be able to go back to PI3.

BTW, if I flash it to the Sprint firmware, how do I enter the service mode that has the unlock UICC menu option?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] myphone12345:
I think the bootloader version is the fifth digit from the right in the firmware code. The latest P and U are both on level 4. The unlock UIUC option is not in a service mode. I believe it's under the updates menu of the main settings menu (where you can also update the PRL and profile). That said, I doubt it would do anything unless you have Sprint post paid service.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
Just tried it but still locked. I guess I'll have to pay for the unlocking service again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] myphone12345:
Can you please clarify what you tried?

Which unlocking service did you use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
I tried flashing the Sprint Stock ROM version PJ2. Then tried the UICC unlock. But it didn't work.

I used one of the unlocking services I found on Ebay.

Difficulties unlocking. Stumped!

So I recently paid off the Sprint's monthly installements in hopes using the s7 on tmobiles network.

Sadly it is NOT working. Here's what happened.

Went to a t-mobile store. Requested to port my Sprint numbers. They mentioned my phones needed to be unlocked for it to be useable in their network.

Called Sprint. Rep tells me I need to pay off phone in order to be unlocked. Did just that. Was given 48hrs. Decided I was going to port number to T-Mobile while device was being unlocked.

48hrs passed. Invalid SIM.

72hrs passed. Invalid SIM. Called Sprint and they give me a new timeframe. Unlock effective date and time of 13 JAN 1700 central time.

Still says invalid SIM. Called Sprint and they are telling me the two S7s I had are already unlocked.

Huge problem. What am I doing wrong?

FYI the T-Mobile SIM works perfectly as I am currently using it on an old unlocked LG G3 from ATT to type this out.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I bought a sprint galaxy s7 on ebay and it turns out the phone has a bad esn. what can I do to gsm unlock it i'm overseas! :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] dandruski:
Did you ever get this resolved? I am in almost the exact same situation. Brother gave me a Sprint S7 that he paid off and had domestic unlocked and it is still saying invalid SIM (trying T-Mobile SIM). We called Sprint and they verified it is unlocked. I also flashed the 930U firmware to see if it would affect anything but it didn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] dandruski:
Do you have any experience with any of them and/or are there any you would recommend using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
This happened to me before. After messing around a bit I found out that I needed to perform a UICC Unlock before my phone will accept other sim cards. It's under Setting->System Update.

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

You need to UICC Unlock (under Setting->System Update) it first. Do it with the Sprint stock firmware. I don't think the U firmware has this option.

It actually is the other way around. I paid some online unlocking service to have my S7E unlocked before. Actually I paid for the service several times already because I messed around with switching the GSM and Sprint sim cards, and flashing different firmwares.

What I found is: after the unlocking service, if you keep using the Sprint stock firmware, you'll be fine. You can switch back and forth between Sprint and other GSM sim cards. But If you flash it to the U firmware, you can only use GSM sim cards if you want to keep it unlocked. It'll be locked once you put in the Sprint sim card. You can flash it to the Verizon firmware and keep it unlocked. But you can only get 3G speed on Sprint network. Also, after flashing with other firmware, your phone will be locked again if you flash it back to the Sprint stock firmware.

I PAID dozens of dollars to find out about this. Hopefully others will learn from my lesson and be careful with their "unlocked" phones if they paid for the service. Now, if you have your phone unlocked by Sprint, all you need is to go to Setting and do the UICC Unlock under System Update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] vastelectron:
I paid off the installment too but when i contact sprint to get it unlocked they said they couldn't do it because the phone was no longer own by them? I made a mistake of checking my imei with ting and ting held my imei in their system to make it pennding for activation. Do not use ting to check your imei they will hold your imei unless you ask them to release it it's a hassle
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] dandruski:
Thanks so much for the information! I will flash back to Sprint firmware and see if that does the trick with the unlock. I've read countless posts and none of them have mentioned the UICC unlock under System Update... Would have been nice if Sprint had said "hey BTW you need to do this on your end" :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] dandruski:
Just to follow up, I was able to successfully get the phone unlocked. I reflashed the 930P firmware and the UICC unlock was there under 'System Updates' but was giving me an error so I bit the bullet and used gsmzambia to unlock as others on this thread suggested. Reflashed with T-Mobile firmware (930T) and I'm up and running!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
I think your phone will need to be on a network in order for your carrier to unlock it for free, unless you want to pay for the unlocking service.

Glad to hear that it finally worked. They didn't tell me that either. I had to mess around with my phone for couple hours before I figured it out. I think you got an error with UICC Unlock because you are not using a Sprint sim card to perform the unlock. It needs to communicate with the Sprint network in order for their system to perform an update on your phone to unlock it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Centerspike:
I'm having the same issues... I bought a Sprint S7 from a girl who swore the phone was unlocked. I verified with sprint before buying. Turns out she requested it to be unlocked after she had removed her SIM and the phone was off. Its been 4 days with trying to tell Sprint that the phone is still locked, and today finally talked to someone who actually worked hard to escalate the issue but still to no avail, phone is still locked. For kicks i picked up an unactivated SIM from sprint so it would get on the Sprint network, but when i click update profile, or UICC unlock, it just starts the activation process, ultimately blocking the attempt. So my ATT SIM STILL doesnt work and ill be calling the escalation team back tomorrow..

Question is: What are my options here?? Im wanting Sprint to figure this out as it's their responsibility and i'd rather not pay 3rd party, when i have a valid unlock request. All of the efforts they are making to assist are under the old owners account, (she has been helpful, and let me know her pin). Am i really going to have to get a plan temporarily just to unlock this friggin phone? I do have a friend who has a sprint sim but it wouldnt activate with it..

Secondly, after this is all done, I want to reflash ATT firmware... but last time I tried i got SW Revision error.

Any help would be much appreciated!

G930P Unlock / Reflash ATT Firmware

*itty bitty bump*
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
Sprint is a CDMA network. Unlike GSM where you can change carrier by simply swapping the sim card, in order to get on the Sprint network, you have to register your phone into their system. Which means that you have to have service with them. And your phone must be paired with a unique Sprint sim card that's assigned to your phone only. And different phones require different sim card models. Pretty complicated.

But you can still ask Sprint to unlock your phone if you have all the previous owner's info. So what did they tell you when you ask for unlocking your phone? Did they tell you that your phone is already unlocked? Or did they just refuse to unlock it for you?

If they said your phone is already unlocked but you still have "Invalid sim card" error when put in your ATT sim card, then you might have to get on their network to perform the UICC unlock. If you have a friend or family member that has Sprint service then you might ask them to swap your phone into their line to do the trick. But remember you can't just swap their sim card into your phone. You have to get a new sim card that's compatible with your phone. I think it's the 416C sim card. You can just go to a Sprint shop and ask for a sim that's right for your phone. After you are done then just swap out your phone from their Sprint line.

If they refused to unlock your phone then just provide the previous owner info, and force them to unlock it for you. They can't refuse if the phone meets all the requirements.

Just bought a Freedompop 930P version. Has anyone unlocked one of these before? Im assuming by the model number that its the same as a sprint phone but cant really verify as obviously i dont have one that came directly from sprint to compare.

Gsmzambia.com will do it? Cant get into their website right now for some reason so i cant check their requirements. Ebay unlockers are showing different firmware version requirements before they can do their unlocking services.

Just want to get this phone off FP and on my ATT mvno.

[edit] doesnt look like gsmzambia lists any requirements.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
I think the 930P you have is the same as the Sprint one just with some Freedompop apps installed. You can actually pick any unlocker, ebay or online store, they all the same. They all use the same tools and same procedures. Just choose the one that will respond to you quickly and has a way to communicate with you live (like skype or whatsapp). Because you'll need to do your part on the phone when they perform the unlocking service.

The reason they require specific firmware to be installed on your phone is because the unlocking procedure is a lot more simpler with PG1 or lower firmware version. So most unlockers will charge you more if you have higher version firmware. And you cannot downgrade back to PG1 or lower once you upgrade because the bootloader version will also be upgraded with the newer firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] b-16707:
Great thats some good info. Ill try it out and see what happens.

Planning to reflash the firmware too to something more ATT friendly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] turbozapekanka:
If I unlock with Sprint support, I don't have to worry about lock coming back.

I should only care if I used some third-party service to unlock it.

Is my understanding correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Avi8ion:
Yo how can you unlock
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
Yup. If it's officially unlocked by Sprint then you don't need to worry about re-locking your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] nightdroid:
I was wondering the same thing. I got mine unlocked by sprint, but didn't want to have to go through the hassle of unlocking again when the Nougat update came around.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] steve_xyz:
OTA update shouldn't effect the sim lock status, even if your phone was unlocked by third party service. My S7E was on U stock firmware and went thru couple OTA updates and stayed unlocked.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Devhux:
If someone can port the Huawei camera app to the S7, maybe it'll work, but that's about the only way.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] 52brandon:
I'm sure it can be done. The S7's camera has fantastic low light capabilities, so to be able to port over a software setting to optimize night pics like that should be doable. Samsung will probably update their stock camera software to include that ability soon. With the developments of HTC, Sony, Samsung, and LG (Ibelieve the G5 will be the device to watch this year. With their modular camera accessories, they can continue to improve the hardware with the same device. It's a brilliant concept), I expect smartphone camera technology to be able to take perfectly professional pictures in the very near future
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jeshter2000:
That is bullocks.. The camera stays the same.. And the camera on the G5 isnt that special. They can only improve Software not the hardware....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] howtodignose96:
You can easily take a photo of the stars by tinkering on the pro mode.

Simply look at the lowest ISO and decreasing the shutter speed. You will need to stablise your phone of course.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] hackarchive:
So people are gullible enough to believe LG can add sth else apart from batteries with their module? The only other possibility is a lens attachment which won't change much. The G5 isn't that modular in the real sense of the word. The camera won't change.

In pro mode select aperture settings and select 10, this sets the exposure to 10 seconds, with this you can achieve amazing photos of the sky and and milky way, very impressive for a phone.

[Pebble] Zavonn:
Hey guys, longish post ahead- but I would really appreciate your advice!

After a brief foray into the original Moto 360 a couple of years ago, I decided that I wanted to wait until the smartwatch market developed a bit more before putting down some cash on one (I ended up selling the Moto 360). Fast forward two years later, and I'm now looking for a smartwatch that will:

1.) Be reasonably durable against wear/tear; for this reason and the reason below, I'm not going for a nice $399 Huawei that I'll get scratched up anyways

2.) Be reasonably priced; $200 is about all I can justify spending on a time piece, especially since I see myself keeping a couple of swappable bands handy for customization

3.) Manage my notifications and calendar events in a straightforward way...in other words, I have no need for any fitness tracking functions

4.) Be formal enough to wear to classical and contemporary music concerts I perform in. This is actually a pretty important factor for me, as I perform a lot.

After many hours of research, I think a Pebble would be the best bet for me....Now the issue is choosing one. Which one do you think I should get? I have gone back and forth between the 3 models now, for the following reasons:

Pebble Time: It is only ~$125 on Amazon! That affords me extra spending room for alternate straps, wraps, etc. This is also the one model that I think encapsulates the "low-res GBC" attitude the best in its external styling. I thought that the Steel seemed to try a little to hard to be serious, which is a striking contrast to its not-so-serious UI.

Pebble Time Steel: Despite what I said above, I considered the Steel because it seems like the better fit for my concert performances, especially if I swap out the band for a metal one. I also appreciate the extended battery, and according to reviews it seems to have slightly better viewing angles.

Pebble Round: I have small wrists, so it seems that the Pebble Round would be the best aesthetic fit for me. That being said, I don't really like the round face all too much because makes the already small display that much smaller. Not sure if in real life this is a moot point, but I like having more information displayed at once. Also - not sure if this is still an issue now - but reviewers were complaining about how not all apps have been supported to fit the round screen...The reduction in battery life is also a bit of a downer, but honestly I wouldn't mind charging it every couple of nights or so, since I already charge my smartphone daily.

So....thoughts? What made you choose your current Pebble?

Thanks!
[Pebble] snapper.fishes:
I think you meant Pebble Time Steel instead of Pebble Steel.

If battery life is not a concern go for the PTR instead. It has some design improvements over the Pebble Time, for example better button designs that are less likely to accidentally pressed by your wrist. The most popular apps already support PTR, and in my experience I rarely use apps on my Pebble anyway.
[Pebble] luckyrumo:
I bought my (classic) Pebble Steel before the time series became available, but I wouldn't change it for a Pebble Time (Steel). I don't need Pebble Health, Color Display and the "Send Texts"-App, and imho the classic Pebble Steel is still the best-looking model. I've also heard that the color display is more difficult to read in the sunlight.

I only use the straps that came along, but if you want to buy more you should consider that the Pebble Steel doesn't work with standard straps.
[Pebble] keenofhiphop:
My first smartwatch was a Pebble Steel I bought used (and cheap). I did not think i would like it that much. Unfortunately the display gave up on me after a while. I just today ordered a Pebble Time, even though it may have shorter runtime and lower click response than the steel version but for me (as a shift worker without a fix schedule) this doe not bother me a lot. I like the lighter, a little sleeker version that fits my sportive ambitions better. And simply for the buttons, I would not the least pay the significantly higher price for the Steel.

To concern your points: I took the scratches-thing as a very serious problem, as the Pebble Time is known to take scratches very easily on the metal frame around the display. That is why I voted for the Pebble Steel, it surely is more impressive, too. As you do not care for the sports functions, I think it suits you better, as I personally do not want to go running/ swimming with a leather or metal strap, though the leather of the original Pebble Steel felt very comfortable and nice.

What I will do to avoid scratches on my Pebble Time is using some Bepple protectors (the name is somehow ridiculous) to protect it. Check it out, they got a special offer atm: http://www.clvrcover.com

You could wear this when not on a concert and when playing, you may take it off. Or chose a neon green one when accidentally playing on a punk concert :D

Good luck with you choice!

Regards

OG Steel more robust and better screen but many watch have screen tearing. No mic for input on OG Steel

time steel very beautifull mic for input (note, checklist.... ) no issue with screen but readibility lower than OG Steel.

Without screen Tearing I vote for OG Steel, but.....
[Pebble] thebobmannh:
Really love my Pebble Time Round. Don't really care about "apps" per se -- I use the watch as a notification device, not to "do" things (which is why i gave up on my Android Wear watch) -- and as that the smaller and round watch face works fine. It gives just enough information, but also looks nice. Battery life isn't great, but it gets about two days. For me, a guaranteed 24-hours is all I need. I'm going to charge my watch once a day, so as long as I'm SURE i can get through that day, I'm happy.

Like most things, whether it fits your lifestyle depends completely on how you end up using it. I imagine a lot of "power users" of Android Wear or even Pebble would hate the round.

Received my S7 Edge Black a couple days ago in the UK direct from Samsung online, all great apart from the Home Button feels very loose as in tapping it lifting your finger/thumb off quickly gives a loose feeling and the sound as if it is loose the same as if I shake the device you can here the button moving around slightly. My previous S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus and S6 Active (I know, I was trying to find the best one and settled funnily enough with the Active!) did not have this issue. It doesn't particularly bother me but does doesn't feel particularly premium because of it and I was just wondering how widespread this this?
