Found conflicting answers on band 12 for tmobile. Seems it's supports data but not voice correct? And band 4 hspa. What about if used on at&t? What is missing?
Another important question is what company is used for noise cancellation? Samsung in house? Cirrus/wolfson, audience or another brand? Also, what DAC? Cirrus/wolfson, Yamaha or who?

Apologies if this has been covered, or if this is the wrong place to post--I've searched and have been unsuccessful in finding an answer so I figured I'd ask myself.
Is the G935FD (Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duo dual sim) variant fully compatible with AT&T? That is, will it work with enough LTE bands such that I should expect fast enough data throughput? I know that it wont be able to access all AT&T LTE bands, but for practical purposes, will this phone work? It seems to be selling relatively cheaply on eBay, so before pulling the trigger I figured I would just double check that it will work. I don't care so much about having multiple sim cards, I mostly just want a cheap(er) phone.
I'm fairly convinced that the G935F will work based on a few other threads I came across on XDA and Reddit. Just looking for confirmation that the G935FD works and works well. Anyone have experience to share here?
Cheers and thanks in advance.
I have two international G935F's, one G935FD and one G935F, both on AT&T. Also an AT&T S6. I haven't had any issue with LTE. All give comparable speedtest results and all are using LTE Band 2 in my area (SF Bay area). I think they may be missing Band 30 but I don't know where that is used. The app LTE Discovery will show what band you are using. Things that don't work on the international phones for me are AT&T HDVoice (VoLTE) and AT&T Video calling. I also believe that if AT&T ever offers Voice over WiFi, that won't work either. These weren't issues for me. I was not expecting Samsung Pay to work but was surprised that it worked on the G935FD. Further investigation revealed that it was the CSC and image. I was able to download different images and got it working on the G935F as well. There's a thread on Samsung Pay on Int'l phones that discusses this if it matters to you. I think when you buy an international phone (G935F/FD) you don't know what CSC you'll get. I don't think the seller can tell without going thru setup and running a utility (I used Phone Info) to reveal the CSC/image. Everything else seems to work the same as the AT&T-branded versions.
I see a lot of these phones on ebay - some mention Verizon, many do not. I'm wondering if they are all fully functional with Verizon or if there are special models.
exynos and sd820
I'm sorry - I don't understand your response. I've been out of the phone market for a long time. Can I buy a Samsung Edge that has the ATT box and use it on Verizon? Same with a Sprint or Rogers? I know that Verizon and Sprint used a different CDMA frequency for half their transmissions before.
Do ATT 7 Edges work on Verizon? Do they have all of the CDMA band and HD audio and LTE on Verizon?
I read older Post about adding/turning on more frequency bands on Samsung S5 Qualcomm phones. Is there more frequency bands available on international s7 edge (Exynos) and how to turn them on?
as far as I am aware, radios are a hardware thing, and therefore it is not and would not be possible. Maybe someone else has a different answer. It would be great if they did, so that I could use my Korean S& Edge in the US if I ever go back. I have used it on AT&T when visiting the states, I just get a prepay sim card, I can make calls fine, and even use data but AT&T 4G/LTE are on different frequencies than my phone has.
This was the original post I came across about activating other frequency bands. There other sites I came across for other phone manufacturers. One thing they have in common is Qualcomm chips. My phone is exynos. It would be great to activate other frequency bands if they are available because I travel internationally. Something that I would even pay for possibly. Having the international s7 does get me the most common frequency compatibility in most areas, but then I find reception is poor in alot of cases because I only have partial compatibility in most cases instead of best compatibility in one country. Compromise I suppose and lesson learned.

same boat
sorry to add to a dead topic,
i'm in the same situation with an international galaxy s7,
exynos.
coverage is about 60%
expensive lesson i guess.
no one else has any othei possible answers?

Hello everyone.
I just purchased an Ownice c500+ 9" for my car. Was wondering if anyone had some experience with which companies can take advantage of using this headunit for 4G LTE. I have Verizon and was maybe even thinking just using my phone as a hotspot if there weren't any way to get 4G.
I don't think you'll have any luck with Verizon, or any US Carriers.
A youtube review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T36urqjeOyg&t=4s
Shows which are the supported bands for 4G LTE, verizon uses bands 2,4,13.. which the ownice doesn't support. Infact, none of the major carriers in the USA have the bands that ownice lists.. so, the LTE functionality wont work with USA networks.

Thanks The Ownice person gave me the list I attached. So that stinks :/
How about just hot spot from my Nexus 6p? I have VzW and I am grandfathered in on their unlimited data though it dont matter much now. Think Verizon would notice if I used my hotspot on my phone? I usually use about 20-30gb a month.

I still think that list is incorrect.. as it has bands 2 and 4 (both which verizon) uses... the youtube video doesn't have those included.
I would confirm again with the ownice person.. because if that is infact the supported list.. than this would support both Verizon and TMobile SIMs.
Yes, verizon will notice if you hotspot it. That's why the SIM in the unit is a much better way of utilizing it as verizon won't know..

I have the Ownice C500+ maybe they changed something about it? What would Verizon do if I tethered? Charge me?
Can anyone personally confirm that this model phone works on T-mobile in the US? I'm looking for an S10 with an Exynos so I can root.
I did some reading before asking, but things were a bit iffy either way as to yes or no.
Here are two threads about it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/help/worth-buying-international-version-s10-t3921516
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/help/exynos-att-t-mobile-t3920491
But the straight answer is yes, I get LTE, WIFI calling, VoLTE, just no Carrier aggregation and Band 71.
how bad?
How bad does the CA loss affect your bandwidth?

I haven't seen any difference between a CA OnePlus 6t and the S10+ in bandwidth. This is tested in multiple locations in SoCal specifically.
In Long Beach, & USC area of LA, I've seen no difference in connectivity between the Exynos & Snapdragon versions of the S10e on T-Mobile. And very little difference between the S10e & Exynos S7, actually.
Please search before creating new threads, there is at least 2 already with this question.
