Hi Everyone
Can anyone tell me if its possible to move all stuff from my s6 edge to s7 edge ?
if yes how I can do this ? , smartswitch ?
Thanks in advance.
Yap, smartswitch is one of the best I have ever seen. Its much easier and noob friendly.
I heard, Samsung is going to include a special USB cable for data transfering from one phone to another.
In EU they ships s7 edge with little micro usb to usb adapter which should do what you want. You just connect two phones with usb wire and send all data to s7 edge. Didn't try this thought. But got that adapter with my s7 edge.

i want to sell me phone now and I will be getting s7 in few weeks.
Will this work with s5
Does Smart Switch also transfer app data from another Android phone (not Samsung)?

I purchased a new unlocked international S7 edge and it works well - but was missing Samsung Pay. I loaded both the latest framework and app using APK mirror.com site. The app runs and I can after some coaxing get to the part to manually load a card - but then it consistently says samsung pay failed to connect to server - try again later.
It never is able to connect - and from some reading it says this could be due to encryption of the internal memory. There is no option to decrypt the internal memory (if it is).
Is there some way to force the decryption or even to verify it is encrypted? I purchased the phone with Samsung Pay as one of things I really wanted to play around with and am at a loss .

You'd have to run a firmware where pay is available. So far, we can't run any of the US firmwares because exynos vs snapdragon. All we can do is wait until it releases in the UK or Canada and then flash the respective country's firmware

Thanks. This is the first thing I've read which makes sense to me. Let's hope they update the firmware soon - would love to try it. If you know of any rumors on timing, would love to hear it!

samsung pay is "available" in Brazil but i cannot make it work.
They said it wont be able to use the S6 family, only s7 because they have a new technology that's mostly used here, buttt i wanted to try and see if i could use my phone (almost all machines accept nfs payments).
this was the first thing that made sense, but could it be because of that that i cannot connect my s6 edge? (just updated the app and framework)
Samsung Pay works the UAE firmware.

I have a stock (no root/nothing custom) SM-G935FD (dual sim edge) that I use with a single AT&T postpaid sim in the USA. I never had issues activating android pay unless the phone was rooted using a credit card with a US address. Now anytime I try to add a credit card on android pay, I get the error message that android pay cannot verify the integrity (or maybe compatibility, cannot remember the exact error message) of my current rom and doesn't let me activate. I know I used to get the error message on the rooted phones but all stock (no knox tripped etc) phone shouldn't give this message right? Btw, I tried this with stock UK and Arab Emirates roms (the latter is the original rom that came with it). There is no US based stock rom for this variant.
Seems like there is some sort of root maybe? Not sure but I've only seen that happen when there is root. I have root and Android pay and it works. Of course I set it up before I rooted the device.

no root at all. Stock rom refreshed from smart switch just to make sure it is OK. That's why it is so random.
Is your display set to "Condensed?"

Yes, it was. I can't believe that this was the issue. After going back to normal, the card added just fine. I will give it a try at whole foods to see whether it will go through and let you guys know.
Thanks. That's why I love Xda forums. There are definitely some knowledgeable people around

I don't really use Android Pay now that I have Samsung Pay, but I remember for giggles I tried to setup AP and got the same thing. Took a few days but yeah, wish Sammy would fix that... then again, the display scaling feature is hidden on my device.

I assume you have a US S7 Edge to be able to use Samsung Pay, am I correct?

Yes, but I believe there are certain CSC's that support it.

Which CSC's? I tried BTU (which is UK) and the original AFG with no luck. I don't think you can combine the AP file from a G935F with a CSC file from a G935T/A/V? Can you?

Hey guys,
I am currently an iPhone user since day one. I guess I am getting tired of waiting for a jailbreak and waiting on developers to update their tweaks so I want to move to an S7.
I been looking on Craigslist for a S7 and I see a bunch of AT&T phones but I am on Verizon. I know both carriers are different from one another using different bands but can I use an ATT phone on a Verizon network if it's unlocked? I was told by Verizon that I can but someone else said I can't.
I am just curious to see if the S7 is all band compatible?
I don't want to spend $700 and not be able to use it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You need to buy an international variant if you want root. SM-G935F

Yes, there are no US S7 or S7 Edge phones which can be rooted.
The very last late model Samsung Galaxy phones which can still be
rooted are the S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+ & Note 5 US branded phones.
So if you want a S7 Edge you will have to purchase an international
model G935F.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

So rooting is only for installing roms correct? Thanks for this info, I almost bought one from CL.
Can you still install tweaks without rooting?
Also just to confirm the SM-G935F model will work on Verizon correct?

Yes it will, all you will need to do is pop in an activated Verizon micro sim card.

You cannot install or flash any roms, tweaks or mods unless the phone is rooted. (With very few exceptions)

Yes it can.
If you want to know how, go to this xda link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/recovery-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084
It will guide you thru the rooting process.
The W8 Canadian S7 Edge is rooted the
same way as all the international versions.
You don't even need to root the phone if you are
going to flash a custom rom...
All custom roms are pre-rooted so you will only
need to odin flash TWRP by following the guide
in the link above.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Are you sure the international version supports CDMA?
I read it only supports 4G not 3G or 2G.
That kind of sux because to me Verizon does not have good coverage.
If I buy a phone from Verizon I guess can't root it, what can I do? Can I install custom tweaks and is there a free App Store like AppCake?
I would be careful using phones built on another network even if unlocked. The phone and sms will work but picture / video and data connections will be spotty.
Verizon and Sprint work off of CDMA and all other carries r on GSM.
LTE frequencies r built different for each network. If I was u n spending that money, I would buy the phone that was made for the carrier u r looking to do business with.
U can search through the Google play store. All tweaks that come from apps in there u can install without root.
If u r used to Cydia which u change system parameters of the native phone or status bar icons, that is all done with root.
Android gives u a million more customization options unrooted. Not like the iPhone. I have also used an iPhone for years and only because of the jailbreak. Without a JB I would of never used the iPhone. I switched to android as well because new JBs don't come out as quick especially since every other month Apple releases a new IOS.
I am amazed with all the options and great camera that s7 has over the iPhone. The iPhone 7 still sounds to be years behind.
I am actually selling an AT&T unused s7 device.
Good luck!!!

Actually I am using Echoe Rom do you really recommend me to install a Stock rom? I don't really like how looks my phone. There are some stuff missing like TouchWiz features. I am using a G935W8
So basically the situation is I switch back and forward between my S7E and Tab S.
The thing is that I'm already on my second broken tray since august.
Anyone experiencing this?
Have you taken it into repair center? How did deal with it?
Single SIM tray with SD Card inserted by the way.
Why not just keep the SIM in the S7, then use SideSync to see the phone screen on the Tab S and basically use the phone remotely?

BecauseI my son borrows itand I also have a Mi 5 and since the SIM card jumps around all of them and none of the others broke so far.
I hope this is not the S7 fiasco.
Can't say. I haven't encountered much about the SIM tray being broken, but I haven't encountered anyone else in your situation.

Just wondering whether anyone else was aware.
I found several links about this and one was in Samsung support page US.
I live in Japan.
I usually use Samsung Galaxy S6 active because I like rugged phones.
It's time to replace Galaxy S8 Acitve
Because S6 was not able to update automatically overseas
In case of S8, I would like to know if updating is impossible.
