Had an iPhone and a great option was to be able to use wifi calling where there was
a bad signal. Is this possible with the new Galaxy S7 Edge on ATT&T?

I don't think so. AT&T's website still only list the iPhones unfortunately. They really need to get rolling with this.
Never know... Verizon never had it either, but added it to their note 5 when they updated it to marshmallow...

That's what I'm hoping for. A quick OTA update to add the feature.

Two questions,
1 - Does the Nexus 6P have LTE Band 30?
2 - Does the Nexus 6P support the new Wifi calling feature on ATT.

As per GSM arena it does support band 30 http://m.gsmarena.com/huawei_nexus_6p-7588.php.
As for WiFi calling, I hope so.

I posted the WIFI calling question on the ATT Forums. This is the response,
wifi calling will only be available on phones purchased thru ATT is what has been said. You cant get HDvoice on non ATT phones either nor the nexus 6 which ATT did sell. You can bring your own phone but ATT is not going to make some features available to you to use.
I believe the only device that supports wifi calling on AT&T is the iPhone at the moment..

So even though you can buy an iphone thru apple and get it actyivated on att....you get the all att's supported feature even though the phone wasnt bought from att? However the google phone does not get the same support? That would be discrimination wouldnt it?
Actually.....I just called and the CSR atteampt to manually enter the provision for wifi calling and HD voice and she said it didnt work because it said my phone wasnt capable of the wifi calling feature. And the way it works she claimed is you provision my phone to do wifi calling and it will automatically enable the HD voice feature in tandem....but it wouldnt go thru
Since my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 was updated to MM OTA with AT&T it now has wifi calling and HD voice. I was wondering if now since my Nexus 6P was updated to Nougat and it has everything needed for Wifi calling and HD voice is there a way to enable them now on AT&T?

Thinking of getting this BOGO s7 special from t mobile and switching to verizon at a later date. Would the s7 work on Verizon?
No. They generally do not.

Tmobile phones only has GSM radios and not CDMA radios which is what Verizon uses. It might work if you put your sim card in there but it probably won't connect at full speed with Verizon's LTE since they have different frequencies.
Thanks guys.
I think the difference here is that the T-Mobile S7 says it supports LTE bands 4 and 13, so I wonder if it could be used as an LTE only device if you just swap SIMs.

I actually mixed it around and thought he asked if Verizon's S7 would work on T-Mobile (which it would)
And of course, the T-Mobile S7 wouldn't work on VZW (because of the missing CDMA radios, of course)
That doesn't exclude all T-Mobile phones -- T-Mobile capable phones such as the iPhone 6/6S, Nexus 5X/6/6P, and Moto X/X2 will work on both T-Mobile and Verizon.
T-mobile s7 will only work as data device. Only band 2 and 4 are supported on T-mobile version and no VoLte support.
Volte is nice but shouldn't be a deal breaker. Verizon didn't update their z3 with volte support until a year after its release.

But without VoLTE or CDMA you won't get any calls or SMS.

The Verizon variant doesn't have this. T-Mobile and Sprint do. What about the AT&T variant? Can anyone verify?
My AT&T S7 Edge has it.
Yes, AT&T does.

Thank you! Would you be able to show me what the "more" menu on that screen looks like on your variant? I'd like to illustrate it in the post I'm doing for Android Police regarding this feature.
Sure, the WiFi sharing option is launched from the more button under the tethering menu as seen in the attached screenshot.
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you! On my Verizon variant, the Wi-Fi sharing item is replaced with "Help"

Hi, I've only ever used the carrier-supplied phones on their networks. However, I'm thinking of getting the international version of the S7 Edge due to the Exynos processor. I'm wondering about the following though:
1. Will network performance be ideal? ie. Could some missing band support mean I don't get full speed?
2. How will updates pushed by T-Mobile work? I understand there will be an update for the new 4x range LTE band which has better building penetration. Would an international variant of the phone on T-Mobile receive such an update AND/OR be able to make use of the new band?
Thanks,
Steven
Network performance should be fine as long as the variant you pick up has proper bands.
Updates will be pushed by Samsung instead of Tmobile with an unlocked variant.

Do you think the difference is really worth it if there is even a difference?
From what I've seen one is better with certain things and the other is better with other things but even then the difference is very small.

I've been thinking of selling my tmobile s7 edge and get the international one. I switched from an iPhone 6 plus to the s7 edge, and my god... This thing is a beauty. The only thing I miss from ios is the emoji, and that is the sole reason why I desperately need to root my device haha
Edit: I'm still new to the Android scene but if samsung push the update instead of tmobile, does that mean the international variant will get the update much earlier than the tmobile version?

No WiFi calling, no volz... I'll pass. I can't live without the wifi calling feature.

If you travel to other countries you can use Wi-Fi calling. I'm in the Philippines now and I can use Wi-Fi calling here and it's just like I'm in the USA.

I could answer your first question as I have the exynos variant and am on the T-Mobile network in usa, yes for some reason there are a lot of network performance issues, when I first for the phone my LTE speeds tested to be 60 mbps now it's only 20-30!

Perhaps you work in a large warehouse with poor cell signal or a large complex building such as a hospital. Perhaps your house is at the edge of coverage where signal is unstable. Plenty of reasons why wifi calling is useful for many people.
Wifi calling is not great but if you're in an area with poor indoor coverage, that's the only option.
My office just happens to be in a dead spot. When I walk outside, I have full bars. Even the tmobile repeater only picks up 2 bars. We have stable wifi so wifi calling works best. Sometime package drop affects phone quality issue but that's the nature of VoIP.
T-mobile Wi-Fi calling is a must for my phone. Tmobile service is not existent in hospitals, office buildings and sometimes on the other side of a tree.
I keep watching tekhd thread in international to see if that is one of the "T-Mobile" rom parts he gets working.

I have the euro version on tmobile, and my speeds are the same as with the U.S version, also I live in nyc where tmobile service is great so I never use wifi calling. I do miss volte though.
so you get LTE speed and everything else, except VOLTE and wifi calling and oh samsung pay ( but android pay will do) right? Because I ordered 1 from amazon so we'll see
Any reason why would wifi calling not work on Tmobile? I was able to enable and use it on my N6P so I don't see why it would be different. If I believe the international version forum, the most recent update enabled it and numerous users report using it on other carriers.
Exynos Lte icons
Hello this might seem dumb but i can't find the answer anywhere. In the past i have owned phones that did not show lte on t-mobile and would instead show HSPA+ now on my s7 exynos it just shows 4g and when making a call it goes to the hspa+. Is that how the exynos versions show lte or is mine not picking up lte. Or how can i check to make sure it is running lte. Thanks in advance and from personal experience i enjoyed using my exynos s7 a lot more then my s7 edge from tmobile. The exynos runs a lot smoother.

Yes, it is LTE. You can check in the settings, phone info area or with an app to switch network data type (in which you can chooses LTE only, etc.)
So I recently purchased s7 edge g935fd from Taiwan. The phone was working fine there in Taiwan. When I came back to the States, however, the phone seems to have trouble connecting TMobile's LTE mobile data. The LTE goes on and off , no matter where I am. The phone still says that it is connected to LTE even when the data is not loading. I tried to reset the APN setting but no avail. I also tried that sim card on my old ASUS Zenphone 2 and the LTE worked fine so it is probably not the sim card's fault. The weird thing is that I can still call, text, and even use 3g network, it's only LTE that is not working properly. Anyone got a solution to this?
Have you gone to settings>mobile networks and checked if it's set to auto connect?
I took off unlimited data from my account because **** sucks here In Aurora Colorado. Isn't worth an extra 20 a month when I got WiFi at home and at work. Plus 2gb free is cool with me. Still got bingeon
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
I used to have a note from Verizon Unlocked, but seems they've done that on and off signal quite a lot. Since their phones from T-Mobile have everything pre-installed, you can't even delete or edit their APN.
That's why I got a phone with then GS7E works like a charm.

Oh well. Like I said even with that sht I can NEVER load a video on Netflix on my lte, I would miss flights before this crap loads. I like t-mobile because it's the only one that's "good" in my area if t-mobile is "good" I don't want to know what's bad. That's cool it works for you. But I rather pay $55 a month for text talk and 2gb of free data

I have a 935FD on TMO and never have had a problem. I actually have a 935T also, just made sure the APN's matched. The FD however, has never shown an LTE icon although it shows connected to LTE in settings. This could be to being rooted and running a custom rom. But to your main question, again, I've had no issues.

Yes, I bought an International version after realizing it would probably be some time before the 935T got root. From what I understand, and don't quote me on this, but the international version of just about anything is compatible with TMO or any other GSM network. The Note 7 should be just as compatible as my 935FD is with TMO.

Do you get wifi calling with the international version? It also seems Samsung won't honor the warranty and SquareTrade won't as well since Samsung isn't.

No, and that is the only reason I've kept my TMO version is for the wifi calling. If the buildings where I work weren't blast proof we would have cell signal inside them. Since we don't, the wifi calling is our only Option, besides landlines of course. For all these reasons we're talking about is why I'm looking at getting an HTC 10. I'm getting tired of all the Samsung lock down on stuff.
