[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
So I have a few follow ups to this discussion. I have given 3 different firmwares a run for at least 2 weeks each now.

G935U

G935A

G935T

And have some interesting feedback on all three of them.

I use my phone on AT&T network.

1st I'll rate them 1 to 3 on battery life

3rd place - The AT&T firmware (G935A) is by far the worst. I average at least 2 hours less of battery each day (even with many apps disabled by package disabler pro). It was so noticeable compared to the other 2 firmwares it really is embarrassing.

2nd place - The Tmobile firmware (G935T) is pretty awesome on battery life. The only reason it lies here in 2nd place is because you have to debloat it with package disabler pro about 30+ apps to get it to run as good as the U firmware.

1st place = The U firmware (G935U) comes debloated, it's fast, and it idles perfectly. Only losing %3 or less in 8 hours of sleep at night while unplugged.

Next I'll compare connectivity again I'm using the device on AT&T service. I used the same APN settings on all 3 firmwares.

3rd - G935U. This firmware breaks VOLTE so data speeds during calls were poor. It also had a rough time staying connected to LTE in Urban areas, but in general it averaged about 5 mbps slower speed in all areas I tested the device.

2nd - G935A. This surprised me quite a bit. You would think the AT&T firmware would be the fastest on its own network, but it wasn't. I ran multiple speed tests over the 2 weeks I used this firmware and it average 20 - 25 mbps download in my area regardless of network traffic. Decent for my area but not great.

1st - G935T. This blew my mind, why would AT&T service be faster on a tmobile device? I really have no idea buy boy was/is it ever faster. Easily pull 35-40 mbps on most speedtests. It makes me think AT&T is hiding a bandwidth limiter in their firmware somewhere. I also noticed a general stronger signal. In places where I normally only got 3 or 4 bars I was getting full bars.

G935T updated on 11/5/2016. And it's even faster now. But there is a reason for it now. https://www.google.com/amp/amp.andr...e-lot-faster?client=ms-android-hms-tmobile-us

Side notes:

Why does the G935A firmware NOT have list mode for settings? Terrible decision AT&T

Why does the G935A NOT have access to the Samsung cloud either?

I am a bit confused why AT&T would remove features from the device.

Lastly if you use either the U or the T firmware you can have free WiFi Hotspot as well.

Over all I'm using the T firmware now as my daily driver and I'm sticking with it. Also the T firmware is eligible for the Galaxy Beta Program that launches on 11/9 to beta test Android 7.0.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Most recent speed test after today's Tmobile update.

AT&T never has even come close to touch 70 mbps on their firmware.

But when running the Tmobile firmware I pull these results using AT&T service still.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] marcusva79:
So wait the t-mobile firmware works perfect on the AT&T one? Is there any drawbacks, things not working and so on? What extra apps does it add? Will issues if I'm on AT&T. Show me which one to get!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
WifiCalling is the only thing that doesn't work, but there is less bloatware on the Tmobile version and it lets you use Samsung cloud.

Which judging by that you flashed the firmware already you probably already figured that out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] marcusva79:
Yessir. Is HD calling still working and all that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
VOLTE works if that is what you mean
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] marcusva79:
yes I do bud. Thank you. Was going back to 935A FW but damn battery suck donkey nuts. So gonna give T-Mobile another go. Hopefully it wont ask me for a TM sim all the time. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kangi26:
I loaded this one up last night, everything looks pretty good so far. The Beta Program installs just fine, BUT........ I got rejected for the Nougat Beta testing, got a response that they have all they need. SO if you want to install this just for the Beta, don't bother.

All in all the ROM looks good, I'll keep an eye on battery life and signal. Signal strength on 935U for me is HORRIBLE, and 935A isnt too great either. So we'll see how this one goes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] marcusva79:
Kangi reception has been loads better with the TMOBILE FW. So odd
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kuraijay:
i flashed tmo few days ago and have noticed the reception to be way better also
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
I agree. don't really understand how the Tmobile software has better reception than the AT&T firmware would but it definitely does. I believe it has something to do with 256QAM that was in the tmobile update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] marcusva79:
I don't get HD calling like on ATT. But honestly I'm tired of the att software. Double apps in Playstore, battery drain, Bluetooth headphones connect but have to manually connect audio in settings. I'm like WTF get **** right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kangtastic:
Just out of curiosity... Have you tried the U firmware with the Tmo 11/5 modem?

Update 1:

Decided to try it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
No I'm on the Tmobile Nougat beta right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kangtastic:
Ah yeah it is pretty bad for me so far, 5-6MBits.

Will do some more testing in a better area.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] zombo91:
how did you get on the T Mobile beta?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
I saw the beta was coming out so I flashed the Tmobile firmware and registered. And got selected. Been on it since day 1 of its release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] zombo91:
nice, is there zip yet for T mobile?? cant find it only the stock version
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kangtastic:
[MENTION=5264497]ShrekOpher[/MENTION]

Ended up following your lead and going full Tmo Firmware on AT&T network.

Wow! Very impressed! 54% left after fairly heavy usage work day (13 hours). Signal seems better, getting 30-50M down, still snappy.

Definitely a must for AT&T. Also stripped down all the Tmo and Samsung Apps via Ez Disabler Pro.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Yeah I had the same experience that's why I recommend it. No idea why but the Tmobile software is way better and gets better reception.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
No after the Verizon Nougat beta Samsung caught on that people were sharing the beta update, So the put restrictions in place so that only people who were registered to the beta are able to get the updates. There have been tons of people trying to figure out how to get it on their device that is not registered, but no one has had any luck yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kangtastic:
Just got into the US Tmobile Beta program using the Tmo firmware. Registered and downloading now! Too awesome!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] zombo91:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] rachelm920:
Just to confirm, you flashed all 4 files provided in this post? I'm looking to get better data, my data at work sucks (currently 1 bar)... plus my boyfriend was complaining of static when calling me. Currently on U with the P13 baseband.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] marcusva79:
What bootloader are you on? Your trying to go to the T-Mobile FW?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kangtastic:
i just tried it yesterday after seeing some people on xda saying that it was open again for the us.

hit the registration button. got registered, then went to updates right away and it started downloading.

got lucky! it's working really nicely; but even the tmo firmware on att was nice too!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] rachelm920:
Yes, I'd like to have a better data signal.

Version 4 I believe , I was told in another thread the 4 in the baseband below stands for the bootloader version.

Sorry about my fancy font LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] sam2c:
Just an FYI, im on 935a PH1 fw, but i wanted the alleged better data speeds offered by the T-mobile APK1, without losing Wifi calling. I Odin'ed the Apk1 modem (Cp) file over Ph1 and it seems to be giving me better connectivity, although im not entirely sure since i havent done any formal testing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Does flashing the different firmware effect LTE bands?

Can someone with a G935A running Tmobile firmware, even if it's beta, go to *#2263# and take a screen shot of the LTE bands.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] radoo7701:
Here's what I have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Thanks

I'm still trying to figure out why on earth I get faster LTE signal on the G935T firmware over the G935A firmware.

The Tmobile firmware doesn't show support for 2 LTE bands that AT&T uses, but it is still faster. Makes no sense. It also makes me 5hink AT&T is throttling their customers through custom firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Ricardo Cheing:
I would love to hear from anyone running the G935U PI3 firmware but flashed over the PK1 modem from the G935T loaded onto their G935A and on the AT&T network. Can this be done? If so, what file do I need to ODIN to make sure I am flashing the modem only?

I have as G935A loaded with the G935U PI3 firmware and would love to get the data speeds that the PK1 users are reporting on the AT&T network.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] pupochek:
FWIW, this - "You need to make sure you flash the right U firmware. There are different version of it out on Sammobile depending on which carrier you use" is not true. These files are identical and are carrier agnostic - that's the point of U firmware

Okay then which one is supposed to be?

Helping set someones phone up and it appears the Amazon lock screen is causing an issue with Greenify auto hibernating.

Any fix to this or can an update to Greenify fix this issue? It's like it would need to auto swipe up to auto close the apps for hibernation....
[Greenify] Crow550:
Upon further testing it does appear that some type of auto swipe up would need to be added before it kills the app processes while the screen goes blank.
[Greenify] waingro808:
Auto hibernate works fine on my R1 HD, but my device is rooted, xposed, and removed ads.

Are you non-root user?
[Greenify] Crow550:
Yes this applies for users who purchase the phone from Amazon and want to be legit.

All Greenify needs to add if some type of auto swipe up mode while the screen is off (or blanked) in non-root auto hibernate mode.

Amazon is releasing more Phones with the ad lockscreen model.

For security reasons non-privileged apps are denied access to lock screen functionality. Greenify could not execute the operation you suggest on an unrooted device.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] der_jensn:
Hi,

my daughters tab just died.

She was watching a video and noticed a short vibration every now and then, but did not took care and just closed the cover when the movie was over. I woke up in the night from this shuffle vibrating and switched off the tab. I am not sure if I choosed shut down, or even just hold the power off button - sorry I was tired.

But now if I try to power on the tab it just shows "fastboot starting..." I tried several button combos like holding vol + or - while power on and also hold the power button for 10 seconds to switch it off. Sometimes a short error message appears, see attached. Tablet is recocnised in "minimal ADB and Fastboot" but "fastboot reboot" does nothing.

She is so sad - any chance to recover?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] QuietLife:
If it doesn't open the bootloader or the recovery you can use this tool

to recover it.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] QuietLife:
I'm not a developer, but I have some experience with this device.

Don't worry you will recover it if you able to enter the bootloader.

follow this guide and you will enable voice calls in it too:

* You must backup your IMEI before start flashing any rom I think you can do this by following this steps:

1) Enter TWRP Recovery.

2) From backup select this partitions: ESP-BOOT-RECOVERY-FASTBOOT-FACTORY-CONFIG and another again back up of ESP-FACTORY-CONFIG

Excuse my English
[Thinkpad Tablet General] der_jensn:
It does not work that way.

looks like there is something wrong with efilinux.efi or bootloader refusing partition command. flash seems to be ok partly, but its failing due to partitioning.

what else can I do?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] der_jensn:
read many hours stuff and tried many things and I know now why these oem commands not work - I evel fall back to DNX (fastboot) mode and there only a few flash and boot commands work, but not all the OEM flash commands. They will be available when droidboot.img will be loaded. But when I try to boot droidboot.img the efiliunx error occours again and tab falls into DNX mode agan.

tab is off

Tab wakes up

starts booting

but efilinux error occurs again and tab fells into DNX mode again. Thats why all partitioning commands fail.

so what can I do, I don´t know if Lolipopp was on the tablet or KK, but for sure there were OTA update messages that I ignored. so maybe there was an early Lolipoop on it or KK.

What will happen when I flash either Lolipopp BIOS or KK BIOS? is it worth a try?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] QuietLife:
I really don't know the problem, As I mention first I'm not a developer.

Don't try to flash bios.xml.

I tried this once and I wouldn't able to enter recovery or bootloader again.

you can try to flash the bios with this KK BIOS TOOL.

Also, try to use this guide it helped me a lot when I wasn't able to flash once.

Feel free to contact me "mohamedsaad791@gmail.com"
[Thinkpad Tablet General] leshan:
Another possible reason is the version of fastboot.exe in the Intel flash tool. You can try to replace it with the newer version such as this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979.

Also make sure the bios is still KK bios. You may need to save and run the KK BIOS tool in previous post in the root of your windows system drive(C:).
[Thinkpad Tablet General] der_jensn:
didn´t help

restore KK BIOS aborts with prepairing to flash

Installed ADB 1.4.3 but this didn´t help either.

I tried nearly all firmware versions non is ablr to boot droidboot. will try now also different esp versions.

I messed up my yoga tablet for a few weeks there, I've just got it back to life.

Hey, were you able to fix this issue cause I am having this exact issue ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] der_jensn:
Hi,

Fixed it not yet but still on it. I openend the tablet and removed the Main Board. I will solder some wires to the bios chip an try to flash a bios with external biosflasher. But waiting for equipment atm.

Would like to know how this happened to you?

Are you sure that you have the same problem? my exact problem is that I can not boot droidboot, because efi check always fails.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Ahmad45123:
Just read through the complete thread and actually, my problem is not exact as you.. I CAN actually flash roms and all and THEY do complete sucessfully. But still, It just KEEPS on going to fastboot... I even was able to boot it up by using: "fastboot boot boot.img", I do this cmd twice and then it for some reason just boots into safe mode and works normal except one thing I noticed... I found that the volume keeps on going down, and the volume up button doesn't work..

So this explains why it boots into fastboot in the first place.. the volume down button is somehow pressed, SO, I opened the tablet and actually literally removed out the board which has the power button, charger and the volume buttons, turned on the tablet and the problem still happened... So IDK how... Its really weird.. Hope you understand.
