US carriers are jerks, we know that. Tmobile has been the exception. All logic points that locked BL is T-mobile's fault but at least their CEO responded to the question and offered to look into this. Where is Samsung???

Anyways, I have had every galaxy since S, and I think I am keeping my S6 edge for now, $800 loss to Samsung and Tmobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Dimitar G K:
I am unsure whether to return it or keep it and hope for the best. One week until my return period ends, but I still think, that T-Mobile/Samsung will not disappoint us.

I see this really simple......with unlocked boot and root there's no Samsung Pay...in my particular case even if root were possible I wouldn't trade Samsung pay for root, really convenient service usable in any type of card machine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] vipercoyote:
Any reason why the bootloader have to stay locked?

Is there a particular reason why they do NOT want the bootloader unlock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] jongcruz:
Again, the only reason I can think of because if you Knox you'll lose the security that makes Samsung Pay work.

I've gotten Samsung pay to work exactly once. I've tried gas stations, the grocery store, Wal-Mart, and I think one other place. The only time I got it to work was at McDonald's. Samsung pay is crap to me. I don't want it. I don't need it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] kronium:
You must be using it wrong. It works fine far me at Walmart and at most places. I'm about 9 out of 10 using Samsung Pay so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] MegaNoob:
Whatever the reason is its so they can cram there crap down your throat and not let you spit it out. Security my ass! Yes they need to make the most secure devices they can, but there is no reason they cant let the user decided if he/she would like to forfeit that security and there warranty. My pc lets me do whatever i want on it. Its not Microsofts problem if i disable uac and install malware that steals my credit card. Just as it shouldnt be the carrier or samsungs problem. It should be our choice!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] jongcruz:
You must be doing something really wrong my friend. At the moment Samsung pay is one of the best, even better than the crappie apple pay. Is the only one to work in NFC and Magnetic swipe machines.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Rydah:
Agreed, 9/10 times it works where ever I can swipe. This is what I recently found and l love about the device.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Alarand:
Security would be a fair explanation if all S7s had the same lock in place but they don't. I really doubt Samsung only cares about security for U.S. customers.

Sure, a few more eligible Samsung pay users but again if they really cared about this, why only in the U.S.? I mean unlocked by default is one thing, but why in the world would they provide that official crom unlock service to other countries with the snapdragon model if samsung pay eligibility is so important?

I don't think Samsung themselves care, I think it's via an agreement with U.S. carriers. An official T-Mobile only unlock would likely upset AT&T/Verizon considering they're both firmly against any form of unlocking. Either it's carrier specific and gives T-Mobile an edge, or it (officially or unofficially) supports all U.S. S7s and undermines AT&T/Verizon's control. Samsung's way more scared of the carriers than they are a couple hundred annoyed customers. Having a single device for a region instead of several likely cuts down on production and maintenance costs.

My guess is that Samsung will eventually just start selling unlocked variants of their devices to the U.S. in the future. Maybe not if carriers have any say in the matter. It seems like the easiest solution for Samsung though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] id10terrordfw:
Best Buy sells the Exynos variant right now in the US. No real surprise that's how it is distributed as Samsung pays a lot of money to put their stores inside Best Buy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Fenny:
Bestbuy did the same thing with the s6. They also no longer carry T-Mobile branded phones, but that was because T-Mobile wouldn't play ball with them.

Forgive the double-post, but I'd be interested in knowing how this goes as well. If they're able to swap the international version for you, that'd be perfect for my needs as well.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] jakebake102:
They will swap out for an international. I talked to them a week ago. They just reimburse the money and you buy the phone. The problem is that they will repair the phone if they can, so a cracked screen doesn't get you a replaced phone. You need to water damage it or bend it to get a replacement.

Samsung and T-Mobile will continue to pass the blame until the noise dies down.

The noise has died down.

The dawn of a new era is upon us.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Tidbits:
Can you show me where someone in a position to know from Samsung said T-Mobile is the one thar locked it. I think people by now would know that low level customer reps would know own jack about this kind of stuff.

Think about it for a minute.

CEO of a company putting his neck on the line if he ever got caught in a lie vs a low level rep who doesn't have a single thing to lose not even his job.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ubigred:
Point is, no one will take ownership. Small community, small effect on bottom line. They knew the noise would die down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Tidbits:
If T-Mobile didn't do it why should they take ownership? That makes no sense at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ubigred:
Does it matter who takes ownership? My cat can take ownership.

Point is, bootloader is still locked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Tidbits:
Then why bring up someone taking ownership in the first place?

Why would legere lie about it? If he got caught in a lie they could lose more than a small community. If he lied about this what else could he have lied about? Think about it.

Now we have Samsung no one in a position in the know has said anything. Just low level reps who would NEVER know.

To top it off Legere even said if they can't get Samsung to unlock their devices for you... They'll let you exchange your S7/Edge for any other device that has a bootloader that can be unlocked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ubigred:
You're talking in circles. You're caught up in the semantics of the situation. Planned by the two head parties.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Tidbits:
Seems like you are the one going in circles. Looking for anyway to blame T-Mobile because they are the easiest to get a hold of.

As I said IF T-Mobile was the ones to lock the bootloader why if the world would they give you the OPTION to switch to another device if they can't get Samsung to unlock it? Defeats everyone's narrative that T-Mobile is culpable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] UnixSlayer:
Everyone should be patient.... the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and the Motorola Moto G recently have had their bootloaders unlocked. Devs are starting to understand how these locked bootloaders can be forced to unlock. This news is good news in my book.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] faslane:
exactly! I have a very strong feeling that unless you buy an international version bootloader unlocked (if they eve still will offer them) we are going to start seeing all deices with know have locked bootloaders because of the heavy push for security due to the pay services....so if you want unlocked people are PROBABLY going to have to switch phones if that's a deal breaker....they did itwith the S7/S7 Edge and I have a very strong feeling the Note 6 will be locked down as well....we'll see but it woudn't surprise me in the slightest. Not sating someone can get around this but I think the days of unlocked bootloader out of the box like Note 5 was on Tmobile are over....at lest for Samsung devices, and of course anything from ATT, They've locked everything down for ever.....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Fenny:
Okay. I'll fess up. I did it! I locked all the bootloaders. I will accept your hate mail in the form of monitary contributions and non-perishable food items.

But seriously, T-Mobile has asked for the solution from Samsung. That sort of RFC probably has to go through a steering committee, then an approval process, and then it is going to take some time to develop, much less QA and ship.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ShrekOpher:
My guess is that corporate partners want a locked bootloader for security reasons, so Tmobile gave it to them in order to keep/gain corporate contracts.

They don't care if you use a different device because you aren't a corporate customer.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekygrl:
is a good point - but you should also never use a VPN hosted by any of the "five eyes" countries, or all of the "fourteen eyes" either, also you wouldn't run a Samsung account, use Google services such a Gmail, Facebook, or any other myriad of (especially) US based privacy invasive "free" services online.

Privacy is very important. But people forget that their free Gmail account does come at a cost, so does Facebook (loathe that platform).

You cannot just stop using a cloud based storage service (personally I use Tresorit - end to end encryption and a zero knowledge service) and we all use Android devices here (MM privacy settings are a step in the right direction, but also reading and learning about what you can do to make sure your phone isn't the information leak Google would prefer it to be is a wise thing to do)

Change your email to something offering zero knowledge and end to end encryption such as Protonmail or Tutanota. Create a "throwaway" email and account for Google Play and their services. Always use the Google Play gift cards rather than a credit card for purchases.

Don't use Google Maps period. Use Open Street Maps instead.

Use DuckDuckGo as your search engine, never Google.

Find out what a warrant canary is and check them for all the services you use regularly!

Use a firewall on your device. Use Tor on your device. Don't ever use Chrome, use Firefox and make sure you adjust the privacy settings hidden inside it.

As you can see, there is a lot to consider and do if you value your privacy, not just cloud storage.

All of this is easily searchable on the internet so it pays to read.

To paraphrase Glen Greenwald, many people will say they have nothing to hide, well if that is the case send me your login details to your email accounts and online social media accounts. No one has ever taken up that offer......
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMike2182:
Most of those thing's I don't use and the rare times that I do use them I have account names that mean nothing and have no important information in them. Any important emails that I get are sent to my own personal encrypted mail server and I don't bother with VPN connections because Tor Browser is good enough for me. This is also the reason I don't use Microsoft Windows at all and use Linux instead because when something gets installed on my system it's because I did it but with Microsoft Windows it's to easy to get viruses and whatnot and I've yet to ever have that happen to my nix. I also loathe Facebook and I rarely ever get on there because it seems like people detail their entire day every day from the time they wake up until they go to bed and that's a treasure trove to anyone who is looking for information on you! But let's face it though, there really is no way to 100% truly secure your information online because if someone is determined and smart enough they'll get what they want but we don't have to make it easy for them to get it!!
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekygrl:
Same here - but I am always surprised at the other people out there that complain about privacy but never do anything about it, or don't know anything about how to fix it...

Unfortunately I am locked into Windows 10 as I have a SP4.....until the touchscreen and the pen works with Linux it is pointless to move OS's - I do have it locked down and no longer sending any telemetry as much as humanly possible!

I spend a lot of time being mobile so setting up my own email servers or use something like OwnCloud (isn't there a vulnerability with that at the moment?) to sync my phone isn't practical as it would require more than a SP4!

Agree that if they really want to know what you are up to they will, but why make it easy eh?!
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SciFiSurfer:
So, basically, I agree with what you said, and I've looked at both those providers. Protonmail is based in Switzerland, and Tutanota in Germany. Um... given the Snowden revelations (and other things) can we actually depend on any German company? Is Switzerland even secure anymore?

Maybe I'm being silly, ignorant, or whatever about this. Got any thoughts on this?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lamba92:
Hello, i noticed since the first CM13 nightlies that the application AudioFX wasn't working properly. Let me explain step by step:

I've always been with the stock rom until COS12, after this one i switched to CM12.1 nightlies and then snapshots and as far as now no problem with AudioFX. When i switched to CM13 nighlies all the problems begun; first of all, most of the times it just wasn't working and to fix it i needed to reboot the phone and would have worked only until the first application that was opening an audio stream was closed (hope i've explained clearly), more precisely i was and using Spotify. Now, when "working" the sounds just did not seem correct... By correct i mean that the same song under same preset in CM/COS12.1 was completely different: highs crystal clear, bass well defined and not crackling and the MaxxVolume feature working. In addition now, with COS13 instead of not working the equalizer modify completely the sounds distorting them to something strange but still the song is recognisable. It happen both on A2DP and jack.

Furthermore i've noted that in the latest COS12.1 build and CM12.1 snapshot the MaxxVolume feature is not working.

I hope i've been enough clear to address correctly the problem. Does anyone else have encountered the same issue?

AudioFX really enhance the output audio and for me it's a core feature for my phone, I am right now switching back to CM12.1.

Here the same thread on OnePlus forums: https://goo.gl/yvDhMO

Same same on my opo & z2 tablet ;(ndont know how to fix it
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikelele:
Two ways I found to fix the prob with audiofx on Cm13 or 6.0.1 M in other words

So, First and easiest way, have the audiofx running, (check if the app is running from settings for 100% and then the widget that appears usually on the toolbar that extends from the top of your screen that it shows its on too!) Then run a song, unplug headphones, and the music should stop(tested on spotify) plug in again and resume song, should work

2.

The bit more complicated way

If you have the app running and a song playing, and it doesn't enhance the sound, check the toolbar mentioned in the first way, and if the app is on from settings, mostly in my cases on my OPO cm13 I see that the app is on but the widget shows that its not, don't know whats up with that, but you need to find a way to kill the widget and the app, then restart the app and try to get them both enabled, this is usually resolved on my case that I kill them both, the widget and the app, then play a music, start the app, unplug the headphones and replug them and resume song, Hope this helps you guys! Hope this gets fixed soon!
