How to get the S7 Edge international Unlocked version? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello,
I know that the phone will be releasing on the 11th, and all the pre-order options available are through carriers. I will be ordering online since I live in DR, where do you think I could buy the Unlocked international version of the cellphone?
Thank you.

Ebay. There are several available. It is the Exynos version. SM-935F

Compare Ebay and Amazon to European stores such as Unlocked Mobiles and Clove UK, see which comes out cheaper.

Depends where you are just go to an independant shop that sells all networks and that phone will be the int unlocked version or country version with no bloat ware unless you click on yes on first boot up and install it by mistake , but that can be deleted anyway

Hi
I'm quite interested in the carrier customisation stuff.
What do you mean by click yes on first boot up? What does it say you are clicking yes to? Any screenshots? Have you clicked yes?
Further info much appreciated!
Thanks!

When you boot up a unlocked version you get a pop up in your notifications , for me that's a Vodafone notification which asks you to click on the notification to install their software , it is a pain but if you do nothing the request is gone on the next boot up , this happens in European phones I don't know if it happens on every country my phone is a phn model

Looks like I have unlocked now [emoji1]

Yes the T-Mobile S7 / S7 edge can only be unlocked by the built in device unlock app now
We unlocked quite a few today
Did you order an unlock or was it unlocked by T-Mobile as you purchased it outright?

Help me figure this out

Hey I just bought my galaxy note 4 from my country's carrier yesterday and it started with lollipop right out of the box and it had some issues like old galaxy apps which wouldnt update so I did factory reset and solved that out. I find it not normal that it wasn't running kitkat. And I also noticed that my basedband version differs from my build number. What does this mean exactly? Also there is a section at the bottom of my about device which says configuration version not available. Please good ppl help me out to figure this out. And just to repeat, the device is bought from the official carrier's store. I'm applying screen shots .

Seems to be a security related update mostly (has the Android security patch level of November, which is by the way supposed to be a marshmallow feature) , but has also improved my battery life. FYI, my note 5 is from Singapore.
In other news, I asked Samsung if they had any news of marshmallow. Sadly none so far, but that they'd keep us posted.

It's available as an OTA for me too. Mine is from Singtel (Singapore). I'm on the out-of-the-box Singapore OJ6 firmware, CSC code SIN.

If you're coming from out of box firmware, expect some fairly noticeable battery improvements. Samsung has been doing well releasing updates for the Note 5, bought mine a week after launch and have gotten 6 or 7 updates perhaps.
Any other regions gotten it yet?

I got COJ5 today on TMOBILE - stated security and battery improvements and a Smart Manager fix.
AOJ is already being discussed here and here.

To be fair I did start the thread first. Those both are an hour old.
Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
My bad on the first one. I meant to link here, which has been open since 22/10.
The second one was started in August, and they've been discussing AOJ in there for a while.
We don't need a new thread every time an update is pushed to every region for every variant of a device, especially if it's an international variant of the device.
Thread closed.

How to check which Samsung SM-G935F (S7 Edge) variant I have?

I am trying to register my phone onto Samsung's website but there are a ridiculous amount of variants of the SM-G935F.
About > Settings only appears to show "SM-G935F".
Any ideas?

Wrong.
My 'Baseband version' is G935FXXU1APB2.
That is not on that Samsung list - probably because it's not asking for my baseband version...
EDIT: The SamMobile Device Info app on the Play Store found it for me.
I don't know exactly where you will find this information, but they are related to the version of software installed by the carrier - for example, the EVR variants are supplied by and locked to EE, the O2x variants are supplied by and locked to O2.
Mine came from the Carphone Warehouse - they tend to ship phones that do NOT have the carriers own software, and to confirm this, mine is the top variant in the list (ABTU). I registered my phone online using my phone, and it somehow auto detected the correct variant.

SPH-L720T stuck on Global??

Hello everyone. I recently bought a few Galaxy S4's to resell. I kept and unlocked one, then sold the others on ebay. One of the buyers just contacted me and told me that they cannot get the phone working on their sprint account because Sprint says the phone is stuck on global mode. What is global mode and is there any easy way I can walk them through correcting it? I dont rememebr seeing a global setting in the *#0011# menu.
Thanks in advance.

I would tell them to Odin the stock software from www.sammobile.com that should reset everything to stock. Global mode is where it is unlocked and can use either a CDMA or GSM signal (as most of the world uses GSM not CDMA, hence the name global).

Thanks for the reply. I thought I used ODIN to format this phone before I shipped it, but I could be wrong. How can I make sure that the phone is able to work on sprint before I try to sell it again?

Yes, it does that as well... As for the last question, I don't know. Kind of hard to tell on an unactivated phone. You could try Freedompop, it's free and they use the Sprint network. If it works on there it should work on Sprint.

Djeez where is the XX-EUR v20J variant... Stupid LG
Who knows. But instead of 20j-EUR version will be better optimalized Nougat.
Before 20j I was on 20i-EUR-XX
Hi guys I check it this firmware from morning I dont found any bug to this moment.Do you have same experience?. Battery is very good but I check only short time.
I dunno. I am using this version just a half day so after few days would be relevant whether there are some bugs or not and how is going battery life.
So, this can be flashed on EUR G4 and all will be the same?

Yes, it works just fine and without bloatware :good:
