Looks like it might just be carrier unlocked not bootloader unlocked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] the Doctor:
The Verge said it's an SD820 SoC. An XDA user has already purchased one and this picture says it all:

This makes sense since the Qualcomm version does CDMA whereas the Exynos doesn't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Rx8Driver:
Yup that says it all...secure boot enabled :( it was a Longshot anyway smh...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Dr. Fed:
The S6 is Exynos and does CDMA, as does the Exynos Note 5. Likewise, Qualcomm does CDMA and GSM. CDMA/GSM has nothing to do with it. For the purposes of carrier unlocked phones, it doesn't matter. These SoCs can do either one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] the Doctor:
We're not talking about the S6 or Note5. The Exynos versions of the S7/S7E don't work on CDMA networks. I'd be happy to be proven wrong if you know of someone using a G930F(D)/G935F(D) on Verizon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Rx8Driver:
Basically my interest here stems from my belief that the note 7 will be in the same exact boat as the s7/e devices, but honestly I'd prefer the exynos anyway, that 8893 with a T880 should be a beast! Plus i love exynos is way more efficient than the QC SoC...at this point, as long as they release an intl bootloader unlocked version (N935F?) I'll be fine with it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] lipon625:
where can i get the firmware for the g935U, i want to flash it on my G935T to make it unbranded
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Dr. Fed:
You're correct, for some reason (probably cost saving) Samsung omitted CDMA support for its Exynos 8890 SoC this year. Apologies. I thought the capability was there but locked out for the US market. I also thought there was a Korean CDMA version of the Exynos, I was wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Rx8Driver:
That's a real stand-up post my friend ;) many folks refuse to admit when they're wrong, so this is quite refreshing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jdidtht:
Yea the exynos based phones seem superior. Qualcomm lost me a couple devices ago, once i used a exynos device I knew I shouldn't go back to a qualcomm chipped samsung, Never again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mitchluther32:
I may be late to the party for this one... But from what I'm gathering the s7 edge from tmobile will work for verizon if it's unlocked? I have the option to get a tmobile one but I'm trying to figure out if it'll work with verizon..

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Rx8Driver:
I wouldn't see why not, i have a tmobile variant and it's perfectly capable of connecting to cdma towers, the radios are there...add a sim and you should be good...of course it must be carrier unlocked...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] mitchluther32:
Carrier unlocked just means you went to the app and unlocked it right? On tmobile that is. Sorry I'm new to this...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Rx8Driver:
Yup
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Tungsten c:
if bootloader is not unlocked what is the advantage of getting one ? you can go to best buy right now and purchase out right the phone anyways.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] the Doctor:
No carrier bloat. Ease of changing carriers without changing devices. Perhaps faster updates, since they won't be going through a carrier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] geoff5093:
You probably need to flash the unlocked firmware to it first. I have a Verizon S7 Edge, and with a T-Mobile SIM I only get bands 2/4. Once I flashed the unlocked firmware I now have access to band 12.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byproxy:
So I'm using the google keyboard. I'm not sure what happened when, but at some point something changed and now when I'm typing I get two word suggestions for misspellings: 1) as a popup and 2) as a horizontal list of words above the top row of the keyboard.

I hate the popup. Not only are the word suggestions pretty much always wrong (whereas the horizontal list of words are correct), but it's extremely obtrusive.

That said, I can't figure out how to turn the popup suggestions off without also turning off the horizontal list of suggestions. It seems that is both or none.

Is it? Can I turn off just the pop-up and keep the horizontal list of word suggestions?

Thanks for the help!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChristianBale:
Would it be possible to flash the software of this unlocked variant to a carrier variant such as T-Mobile and effectively have an identical device?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
According to The Verge:

So probably no root or unlocked bootloader. The only advantage is no carrier-specific bloat.

Galaxy S7 USA

Samsung announce that USA S7/S7 Edge is shipping unlocked now

http://m.gsmarena.com/newscomm-19136.php

Maybe we will be able to unlock ours shortly
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] asuh:
Nope. The carrier specific phones do not support the same LTE bands, and T-Mobile S7 likely won't get 4G speeds on Sprint b/c of that.

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

No carrier-specific bloat and full range of LTE bands that work on all US carriers as well as many world-wide carriers. This is huge for CDMA users like Sprint which were crippled from LTE bands working.

Can't see rooting an S7. I'm in the US, have the 930F...too many negatives on resale for rooting and tripping Knox... I've got Samsung pay working, great battery and debloated with package disabler pro....

May get this new unlocked for my wife...the S7 is a great phone....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] pedro0223:
I wonder how this phone would work on Project Fi. Probably suffers from the same issue as other unsupported phones (can't switch between Sprint/T-mo).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] phonepersonality:
I chuckle a little bit when I read posts like this.

No disrespect intended, but you realize this is an XDA thread.

That's kinda what we do here.

Many of the features of that phone you're currently enjoying were added to it by the manufacturer as a result of all the rooting and modding of Android devices conducted by the community over the years.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] samnada:
Just contacted Project Fi support and they say no support for new S7, Nexus phones are required. No idea if that will change but that's their story today.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] whelmar:
Yes, I realize it's an XDA thread... :) My nexus is my play around device... prior to Samsung putting knox on the devices, I used to root it and play like everyone else. Fact is, rooting the S7, tripping knox removes intended functionality and hurts resale...that's all I was conveying...

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BRiANj64:
But Carrier's lock bootloader, Samsung doesn't afaik? Or is this new with the US S7? The European S7 doesn't have a locked bootloader on its unlocked edition, why would they for the US? That'd be really close to discrimination.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
Look at post #9 above. It's locked.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] myphone12345:
While this answer is correct, the reason why is not.

All the US carrier variants are the same hardware-wise, which means that the hardware does support all the same bands but because the bootloader is locked you can't flash one variant to another.

The S7 is the first Samsung phone with a single hardware variant that supports all US carriers. As such all the US variants have also been assigned the same FCC ID. In previous Galaxy phones, each variant, because it had slightly different hardware (to support different bands) was required be tested separately for FCC approval then issued a separate FCC ID. However, starting with the S7, only one variant (using special testing firmware enabling all US bands simultaneously) was tested to receive FCC regulatory approval.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] pedro0223:
What a bummer. I hope as more manufacturers start releasing one model for all carriers Google will find a way to support their phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] asuh:
Even if you unlocked the bootloader and flashed to another variant, it would be crippled because the active LTE bands are all different for the various locked S7 phones. That's my point, carriers require Samsung to cripple these phones on purpose. You and I are saying the same thing afaik.

Which is Apple's model for LTE bands and I hope changes things going forward for everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] myphone12345:
We probably are saying the same thing. The main gist in all this is that starting this year, all the 'crippling' is being implemented in firmware whereas in the past at least part of the crippling was implemented in hardware (therefore no matter how much you flashed the device, under most circumstances you still couldn't make it be 100% the same as another variant). Unfortunately due to the locked bootloader, in practice this still holds for the S7 since you can't flash it at all.

All this said, I am very glad that Samsung finally released an officially unlocked variant that works on all carriers. It not just Apple that has done that though. I think there were some Nexus and Motorola devices that were capable of operating on multiple domestic carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Annunneo:
No we need to be Flash Recoverys and Roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MyMugMug:
When I read this and found out it was available I went out and bought it. Brought it home yesterday afternoon and couldn't be happier. No carrier boot screen, no carrier bloatware, I can use it on any network and I'm not tied to a carrier. Finally freedom using a cell phone.

And by the way the S7 is a real step up from the S6. We're keeping the S6 and using it because it's so new but another carrier free S7 is on the menu eventually.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fast69mopar:
I have a Nexus 6 that can be used on any carrier in the USA. I actually bought it from Verizon and I have recently switched carriers to T-Mobile. I removed the Verizon SIM Card and installed my T-Mobile SIM and rebooted my Nexus. Fully operational on T-Mobile and I can also put my AT&T or Sprint SIM's in and do the same thing. It's completely unlocked for GSM or CDMA. This phone has been swapped around.

I am tempted, I hate the curved screen on the S7 Edge. I am really pissed that the Note 7 is going to have the damn dual edge display, which means no glass screen protectors.

Anybody have this phone working on AT&T

Anybody have the 930U working on ATT network? I cannot get 4G LTE; only H+.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fast69mopar:
When you started using the SM-G930U, did you just drop in the SIM card from your previous device or did you call ATT and have them activate the device on their network and add it to your plan? I had to call ATT today to get LTE working on my wife's new SM-G930U working. We took the SIM from her Galaxy S5 and put it in her new S7 and only had H+ before I called ATT.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TehPirate_:
If anyone is able to find or extract their firmware for the G930U, if you wouldn't mind uploading. That'd be great

Bought one to replace my son's 1+. Had to get a new sim(micro)... had issues when they put in the new imei number. They're not recognized yet by AT&T... had them put the old number back, worked fine.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fast69mopar:
Did you talk to ATT? If so, you're still not able to get LTE? Did they say they were able to add the IMEI or not? Just like the post above you, they may not recognize these new devices yet. I'd suggest doing what the post above you did and have them use your old number to see if you can get LTE. There are others who have had zero issues with LTE and then there are some of use who can't yet for some reason.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MyMugMug:
Any comparison is relative to an S6 with ATT.

So heres the deal. It's speedy. The boot is fast, no carrier splash screen, all the functionality is there that is stripped by a carrier like mobile hotspot icon on the pull down menu, etc. I'm very satisfied with this phone and for as long as I need a phone for my work, I will never go back to a branded phone. Ever.

I pulled the SIM out of my ATT S6 and into the S7 and had no problem. 4GLTE lit right up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaanj01:
SM-G930U on AT&T

Summary: I tried all the suggestions from those who replied. Nothing worked. AT&T did a few things. Nothing worked. (AT&T wasn't inspired to do too much, since it wasn't their phone.) Went to Samsung Service Center. Waste of time; techs were beyond clueless. End result: This is my wife's phone and she could not tolerate being without it for over a week. So, I had to "bail". Returned phone to BB and bought AT&T version from their store. (Wife is not concerned about bloatware, etc. She would never make it on the XDA forum :) )

Some final thoughts: Before wiping/returning the 930U, I installed 'LTE Discovery'. App could not find any LTE signal. With the 930A, LTE Discovery found a very strong LTE signal. Did a Speedtest and achieved 49MB down and 15MB up. I'm beginning to think the 930U was defective. Strongly suggest anyone reading this thread and having 930U/LTE problems, run LTE Discovery first. Could eliminate a lot of grief.

Lastly, want to thank everyone who responded so quickly with helpful suggestions. I greatly appreciate it. Will continue to monitor thread. May try again some day when it's my time to get a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fast69mopar:
Sorry I couldn't do more to help you by getting an LTE signal on your S7. I wish we could have made it work. It's a shame ATT wasn't able to get it working either. They are not always the easiest to work with over the phone or in person. I hate that you had to ditch the device over that. The experience of having an unbranded phone with no bloat is so much better than the ATT version. For most people the bloat doesn't matter. Its normal for them. Glad you were able to return it and get the ATT version and have working LTE. Good luck with your new S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaanj01:
I think I figured it out. My nearest cell tower is using band 17 for LTE. The 930U does not have band 17.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fast69mopar:
I just went back and looked and I can't believe the 930U doesn't support band 17. That's crazy. What's funny is gsmarena shows the 930A also does not support band 17 and it's the ATT version. gsmarena only list the 930R and the 930F to support band 17 but phonearena shows the 930U to support band 17. We're you able to get your nearby towers band information from ATT?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kirdroid:
Not sure if you checked this but is network mode set correctly? (LTE/3G/2G)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] samnada:
I'm certainly no expert, but this article makes it sound like AT&T has fully implemented band 12, which includes the band 17 frequencies.

http://www.fiercewireless.com/story...re-network-selling-band-12-capable/2015-10-05

But your experience may indicate otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kirdroid:
One more weird thing I'm observing on the unlocked model (SM-G930U), when I click check updates it's saying T-Mobile update service. This is weird is it checking T-Mobile servers for update? Shouldn't it be from Samsung? I removed the sim and checked updates to see if it makes difference but still same.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaanj01:
The more I read the more I think my theory is probably wrong. But I've read other discussions about the band 17/band 12 thing and I think the issue lies there somewhere. Problem is I have NO knowledge about this stuff. I've just seen successful 930U owners talking about bands 2 and 4; not 12/17. I don't.

fast69mopar- I got the band 17 info by running LTE Discovery on my new 930A. Not sure how accurate that info is. I think it was Droid-Life.com that stated no band 17 on the 930U. I forgot where I read where 930A definitely had band 17.

kirdroid - Network Mode did not appear as an option on my 930U's Mobile Network screen. The TMobile thing is weird. I read something about a TM phone must be band 12. Here we go again with band 12/17 again.

Lastly, while I've read about many successful 930U/ATT users. I'm beginning to see more and more customers returning their 930U's because they cannot connect to ATT.

Man, I wish a Samsung engineer and an ATT engineer were on this forum to explain this stuff. Anyway, thanks guys/gals for an interesting dicussion.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fast69mopar:
I have read the same stories about ATT users returning the 930U because of not being able to connect to band 17. I have also read several articles about the band 12/band 17 stuff where band 12 is covering band 17 with different blocks of the spectrum. If that is true then in your case I would think you would have had an LTE connection on band 12, but you didn't. I'm still doing research on this because I am really curious about the debacle. Are there any other ATT users in this thread or forum that have a successful LTE band 17 connection or maybe your using band 12 but with the band 17 mHz in the download/unlink frequencies? I hope someone else here will share their experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] samnada:
I worked in tech for decades so I know how finger pointing can go, but I'm surprised Samsung isn't trying to be helpful. When you said you "went to the Samsung Service Center" do you mean contacting online support? If the phones are being returned by lots of AT&T users you'd sure think Samsung would be concerned about losing those sales on a phone that they've advertised should work. If AT&T is the culprit, and just stonewalling because they have less incentive due to not getting a cut of the HW revenue, then that's a different deal. It also wouldn't surprise me. I'm on TMO and getting my S7 on Wed. I'll certainly report any issues.

I recommend earlier in the thread at post #34 for him to have ATT change his IMEI to his previous device IMEI because ATT doesn't recognize the new IMEI's yet and the device shows up to them as incompatible. I can't remember if he was successful with having ATT try that or not but [MENTION=7570972]jaanj01[/MENTION] ended up returning the SM-G930U for the SM-G930A from ATT so his wife could have a working LTE connection.
